#192 - Chapter 192 Goodbye
After Li Chenqiu finished speaking, two tiny red dots appeared in his pupils, gradually brightening and evolving into small, deep red flames.
A scorching heatwave spread from his body, causing ripples in the air.
In just an instant, the temperature in the villa rose sharply, and the green plants on the table withered at a visible rate, turning the enclosed space into a furnace.
"It's so hot!"
Xiang Nanzhi tugged at his collar, walked up to the prisoner who had scolded him earlier, bent down, grabbed the man's neck, and threw him violently.
Thump!
The prisoner flew over everyone's heads like a shot put, the clear glass shattered instantly, and glittering shards flew out, cutting through the night sky and embedding themselves in the green grass.
Xiang Nanzhi tilted his head, glanced at Li Chenqiu out of the corner of his eye, "Hurry up."
After speaking, Xiang Nanzhi bent his knees slightly and jumped out of the broken window with a "whoosh".
After hearing the movement behind him, Li Chenqiu asked with a smile, "Have you thought about it? Are you going to do it actively or passively?"
At this time, Liu Jue's face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his fluffy hair was clumped together. The thin shirt clung to his body, outlining his figure.
Facing Li Chenqiu, Liu Jue felt only deep powerlessness in his heart.
The difference in ability levels was too great, like an insurmountable chasm, especially since they had the same type of ability. This feeling of king and commoner was too suffocating, too despairing!
"You..." Liu Jue's pupils trembled slightly, "There are so many people here. If you use your ability, you might accidentally kill someone!"
Li Chenqiu curled the corners of his mouth into a warm smile, "What does that have to do with me? Aren't you also a fire-type ability user? You could be the one who accidentally kills them."
Liu Jue's pupils shrank, and he looked at Li Chenqiu in disbelief.
"I'll count down from ten in my mind. If you haven't made up your mind after ten seconds, I'll have to take action," Li Chenqiu said with a bright smile, looking harmless.
"I don't believe you dare to kill anyone. If you leave now, I'll still give you the contribution points I promised you before," Liu Jue said uneasily.
Li Chenqiu did not reply, just looked at Liu Jue calmly.
The surrounding prisoners shrank back timidly, looking at Li Chenqiu with frightened eyes.
They were not fools; how could they not see who was stronger and who was weaker?
Tick... Tick... Tick...
The second hand kept moving.
Liu Jue's stiff, tense face also twitched.
"Time's running out."
Li Chenqiu's expression gradually turned cold.
"I'll give it, I'll give it!" Liu Jue hurriedly said.
After saying this, Liu Jue seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
Li Chenqiu smiled, retracting his ability.
The temperature inside the villa dropped rapidly, and the prisoners' tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Liu Jue, who was lying on the ground, tremblingly took out his contribution card from his pocket and handed it to Li Chenqiu, "Now... is that okay?"
"What about the others?"
Li Chenqiu looked at the other prisoners in the hall.
The prisoners who had been rejoicing at escaping the disaster suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing this.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up if you don't want to die!"
...
Ten minutes later, Li Chenqiu smiled and put his contribution card into his pocket, then looked up at Liu Jue, who was smiling more bitterly than crying, "Nearly thirty million contribution points, you contributed more than twenty million alone. You're something else!"
Not only was Li Chenqiu shocked, but Liu Jue's subordinates were equally shocked.
They knew that Liu Jue was rich, but they didn't expect him to be this rich!
Liu Jue smiled weakly, "It's all hard-earned."
Li Chenqiu patted Liu Jue on the shoulder, "Keep saving up. I hope you'll give me another surprise next time."
Liu Jue's mouth twitched, "Can I leave now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenqiu turned around and walked towards a room on the first floor, "I'll tell you something, and then I'll leave."
Liu Jue did not suspect anything and followed him directly.
After the two entered the room, Li Chenqiu closed the door and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
"What do you want to say?" Liu Jue walked to Li Chenqiu's side.
Li Chenqiu casually put his arm around Liu Jue's shoulder, "I'm very grateful to you, but there's nothing I can do. There are some things I have to do, no matter what decision you make, I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Liu Jue looked at Li Chenqiu in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Li Chenqiu said softly, "Goodbye."
After speaking, he quickly covered Liu Jue's mouth, holding him in place.
Whoosh—
Fierce flames burst from Li Chenqiu's arm, engulfing Liu Jue in an instant, turning him into a complete fire man.
"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..."
Liu Jue struggled desperately in Li Chenqiu's arms.
Li Chenqiu comforted him, "The more you struggle, the more painful it will be. Don't resist. You'll die soon."
Liu Jue endured the pain and asked, "Wha..."
"You know, I'm very short on contribution points. If I don't kill you, how will the Fierce Tiger Society seek revenge on me? Let's understand each other!" Li Chenqiu said helplessly.
After hearing what Li Chenqiu said, Liu Jue seemed to really understand Li Chenqiu. The struggling became smaller and smaller, until he stopped moving, turned into white ash, and flowed from Li Chenqiu's fingertips.
"If Jin was here, he could have let you live on in another form," Li Chenqiu sighed.
After dealing with Liu Jue's ashes, Li Chenqiu clenched his fist and smashed it against the glass in the room.
Smash!
The loud noise attracted the attention of the prisoners in the hall, and everyone's eyes gathered at the door.
Click—
The door was opened from the inside.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Chenqiu slowly walked out.
A prisoner looked into the room and said uncertainly, "Where's the boss?"
Li Chenqiu glanced at the man indifferently and said calmly, "He wanted to sneak attack me, but he failed. Because he was afraid of me, he ran away."
After speaking, Li Chenqiu walked out of the villa gate, leaving the confused prisoners standing in place.
After Li Chenqiu left, the villa became lively.
Outside the villa, Xiang Nanzhi stood on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets. Seeing Li Chenqiu approaching, he smiled and said, "How much did you get this time?"
"Give me your contribution card," Li Chenqiu reached out to Xiang Nanzhi.
"What for?"
"I'll reward you with a thousand."

District Three, Dormitory Building
In the square, all the prisoners in District Three were neatly squatting together, including Ji Mu and Zhou Qinshu.
Several fierce-looking strong men stood side by side at the front.
They were wearing ill-fitting prison guard uniforms, pretending to examine everyone, with a hint of arrogance in their expressions.
These people were the prisoners sent by the Fierce Tiger Society to manage District Three.
The leading strong man stepped forward and shouted at the top of his voice, "Who are the prisoners who just came to District Three today? Stand up and let me get to know you!"
The trainees who participated in the assessment all stood up.
