This man was so beautiful that for a moment, even the man who frequently auctioned off women thought that if he could auction this man, the world’s wealthy women would go mad.
But he suddenly realized that he was now in danger.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?"
The handsome man took off his coat and draped it over Akiyama Sachi’s naked, whip-marked body.
At this moment, Akiyama Sachi felt a dreamlike sensation.
She couldn’t believe there was such a good-looking man.
The visitors were none other than Wenren Mirror and Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu had climbed to the twelfth floor using parkour, without needing the stairs.
Wenren Mirror relied on his charm to successfully convince the hotel staff to give him the room key, against the rules.
"My name is Wen Xishu. I’m here to find Akiyama Sachi. A child named Morioka Hitomi has asked us to rescue her."
"Oh right, last time, you must have found it strange that we weren’t part of your memory, didn’t you, Mr. Director?"
Wen Xishu smiled.
At this point, the man addressed as the director instinctively took a step back.
Wenren Mirror remained vigilant at all times, but he was also curious now... what would Little Tree do next?
Not long ago, Little Tree bet with him on who could get into the target room faster. Wen Xishu had demonstrated a physical prowess that amazed Wenren Mirror.
But now, facing the director and the corrupter... what would Wen Xishu do?
Suddenly, Wenren Mirror’s expression froze because everything happened too fast. Even though his inner self was in turmoil, his expression didn’t change in time.
They saw Wen Xishu take a step forward, explode into action, and then a short knife appeared in his hand, tracing a cold gleam through the air.
The knife precisely stabbed the director’s shoulder blade. During this process, Wen Xishu was very cautious, using three pauses to judge the director’s minute movements.
But he found... the director wasn’t as troublesome as he had imagined. What Wen Xishu didn’t know was that the director’s awakened trait worked on a different level.
The violent collision, combined with the knife piercing the shoulder blade, instantly caused the director’s body to lose balance. Wen Xishu pressed on to restrain him.
With a sound of bones breaking, Wen Xishu’s fist slammed fiercely into the director’s nasal bone.
The entire action was seamless. By the time Wenren Mirror and Akiyama Sachi reacted, Wen Xishu had already started an one-sided frenzy of punches.
The scene left Wenren Mirror and Akiyama Sachi stunned.
Wenren Mirror couldn’t imagine that the corrupter was defeated so easily. Defeated in the physical sense. He had thought of many possibilities, but never that it could be so straightforward and brutal to deal with a Desire Tower corrupter.
Akiyama Sachi couldn’t imagine that the man who could predict everything, who seemed to know all the changes in the world... was now being relentlessly beaten.
"Ah, last time with Tang Rui, there were a few bastards I didn’t get to deal with, which I regretted greatly. This time, I won’t have any regrets."
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Don’t think that dying will trigger the next cycle. Your superpower has ended. Your life has hit a dead end!"
The physical assault only caused the director pain, but the verbal blows struck true fear in him.
How did he know his secret?
The director’s thoughts were quickly interrupted, as was not just his thinking, but his bones too.
"Who... who are you?" the director asked in terror.
Wen Xishu didn’t stop punching; he continued to hammer the director.
"In this world, there are those who endure immense pain without happiness. There are those who endure no pain but gain happiness easily."
"It’s too unfair."
"You ask who I am. I am here to settle the score for the unfortunate."
Wenren Mirror finally confirmed that this corrupter hadn’t awakened any abilities, which was a good thing. Wen Xishu confirmed this through multiple pauses.
Wenren Mirror saw this side of Wen Xishu for the first time.
Fierce, furious.
Though he always feigned indifference to everything... it was clear that Little Tree actually sympathized with Xiaoxing and Xiaotong. Logically, Little Tree had planned to interrogate for information...
However, seeing the wounds on Akiyama Sachi ignited his fury completely.
The torrential fists were still raining down.
Flesh and blood mess, bones shattered...
Under Wen Xishu’s relentless beating, the director didn’t die but gradually became unrecognizable. Blood flowed continuously from under the director’s body.
It seemed that Wen Xishu didn’t care about the information at all; he only wanted to beat the director to death.
Seeing this, Akiyama Sachi began to cry uncontrollably, not because she was afraid, but because an overwhelming flood of emotions overwhelmed her.
She finally understood that sentence. It was so surreal that she couldn’t believe it.
"A child named Morioka Hitomi has asked us to rescue her."
All her misfortune, all her self-denial, all her abject self-perception... dissipated at this moment.
Akiyama Sachi felt the sentence replaying endlessly in her mind. She should be laughing madly, but the immense surge of feelings left her unable to stop crying.
Wenren Mirror’s hand touched Akiyama Sachi’s shoulder.
At this moment, warmth and tranquility seemed to become tangible, like light shining into her ruined life.
In this world, nothing was more heart-healing than Wenren Mirror’s smile.
Wenren Mirror was also in a great mood now. He couldn’t help but wonder, if not for Little Tree, could he really have rewritten the tragedy of Xiaoxing in the vast Desire Tower?
He gently said:
"It’s all over now, Xiaoxing. You will have your own happiness; don’t doubt yourself."
Compared to that, Wen Xishu, beside him, was anything but warm. He patted the director’s decayed face:
"Don’t be in a rush to die; your suffering isn’t over yet. I still have questions for you."
