Xia Ruo was walking through a mall that was close to her apartment and was busy going on a shopping spree without caring about how much money she was spending much to the glee of the shopkeepers. She was alone during this shopping spree, she wanted to go out with some of her friends but they were all busy doing one thing or another and hence couldn't accompany her. She slowly recalled everyone that she had asked to go with her and then a face came into her mind that caused her expression to go sour, it was Zhang Fei. She had hoped that her 'boyfriend' would accompany her to go for shopping but he just said no when she called him to ask her.

When she called the second time he again said no, when she was trying to explain the benefits of going out with such a lovely person as herself he hung up. When she called the third time to angrily curse at him for hanging up on her before she could say anything, after connecting the call he directly hung up on her.....again. Xia Ruo was pretty sure the third time Zhang Fei hung up it, he did it on purpose just to mess with her which led to her anger going through the roof. She then called him the 4th time and learnt that he had already blocked her number. She just stood there with a blank face while looking at her phone's screen though her head was full of thoughts of how to make that prick suffer.

She was then just strolling around after her shopping spree looking for a suitable place to get a bite while thinking about the new projects her company was going to start in the following days. If the plans went according to what she had thought she would be able to make her company go one step further and make it much easier to mess with Xia Su and her company more easily, though it wasn't her company yet and the chances for Xia Su inheriting the Xia Corporation was slim due to the many schemes of Zhang Fei and her, she still wanted there to be a contingency plan in case of some mishaps. You never know how life can screw you up, and if that happened she was sure Xia Su would definitely not miss that chance to screw her over instead.

Speaking of the bitch, she saw her sister off at a distance coming in with a group of the college kids. One would think that the experience that Xia Su went through would definitely make her not act against Xia Ruo for a while, but it seemed that she hadn't learned her lesson. Xia Su was a cunning woman and although her reputation had already be affected by the incident badly and it had led to many awful rumors but she didn't let herself get affected by it but instead she chose to use this opportunity to get back her position and even go a step further.

She made herself appear like a woman who had gone through tribulations and difficulties and then emerged as a woman who despite all odds still stood tall and proud. She took this premise and started getting the recognition of people as a strong and valiant woman. She attended seminars talking about her strength and patience and some other random shits to get the sympathy of people and as a result she was now a lot more liked by the people than ever and many sympathized with her.

Xia Ruo was disgusted at how Xia Su could even use such an incident to get one step ahead of her, She was right she couldn't be underestimated her at all. Xia Ruo just stood there with a menacing look as she looked at her sister. Xia Su was currently out with some of her classmates and they had come out for shopping. One could see that Xia Su was very different from before.

She had changed the way she would dress, from bright and revealing clothes to simple and pleasant looking ones, she used to do makeup a lot but now she even stopped applying much makeup to her face. Even the way she talked and acted with others changed, she talked with a humble attitude and with a slight smile on her face with a low and pleasant voice that would instantly make one get a good impression of her. She had used all these changes to get the sympathy of the people to rebuild her reputation. Although she had totally changed on the outward but on the inside she was still a vicious cold hearted bitch. When She saw Xia Ruo she want to go up to her hack her into a thousand pieces and make her die a terrible death.

Even while she was thinking this she had a calm smile on her face that made her look like a person who had nothing but kindness in her heart. She turned around and talked to her 'alleged friends' who separated from her before she started walking towards Xia Ruo. Xia Ruo saw this and instantly got a headache thinking about what new scheme her sister was planning.

"Hello sister, it's been so long since we saw each other , how have you been?" Xia Su asked with a beautiful smile on her face with a calm expression, but Xia Ruo had already noticed the hatred in her eyes . "hmmm" Xia Ruo just hummed in response. She didn't want to waste her words in talking with her bitchy sister.

Xia Su looked at the nearby café and asked Xia Ruo, "Care for a drink sister?"

"Sure." Xia Ruo was on her guard the moment she saw her, when she was to get a drink her vigilance further increased but she didn't say no just because she wanted to see what her sister was planning. They both went to the café and sat opposite to each other at the corner table much further away from the rest of the patrons and both ordered a cup of coffee.

"So what do you have in your mind this time sister, do you have some people ready to kidnap me just outside the mall, or are you going to have my coffee drugged or poisoned while I go to the restroom and then come back or do you have something really special in mind this time?" Xia Ruo didn't give a chance to Xia Su to carry on with her Hippocratic act and asked with a mocking smile. Xia Su Also seemed to not want to act nicely in front of her mortal enemy as well and stopped acting.

Xia Su sneered and said in a voice filled with toxicity, "Don't get so full of yourself just because you had some luck, I admit it was my fault that I didn't notice the change in you fully and neither took into consideration that shitty and cunning boyfriend of yours, but don't worry I'm going to make sure to make you both suffer a lot and beg for your lives while groveling at my feet."

Xia Ruo was unaffected and continued roasting her sister while smiling, "sure, sure why not. Oh right, speaking of boyfriends, where is yours?"

Xia Su immediately had a darkened expression," hmph he was just a waste anyway, if it weren't for him being your fiancée and being rich, I wouldn't have even had taken him into consideration since he was so stupid to fall into you trap."

Xia Ruo laughed and said in a mocking way," Haha and you didn't?"

Xia Su expression further darkened," Don't be so confident you slut, it was just a one-time fluke and Mo wenzi was just a tool for me to use so I could ruin you and take everything away from you, hmph, there a tons of rich guys like him and I can get any guy I want and they would welcome me with open arms as well."

"Wow didn't think you would so openly admit to being a bitch."

"YOU-!" Xia Su clenched her fists until they turned white and shot a venomous look to Xia Ruo. While the person in question was just enjoying messing with Xia Su. Xia Su took a while to calm down before she came to the point of her inviting Xia Ruo.

"Laugh all you want, I already knew it was all you and your Zhang Fei's doing, but don't worry your plan to ruin me has already failed, tell me, didn't expect that I would use the opportunity to turn the tables on you two right? Haha I'm sure Zhang Fei must have had a bad mood to see all his hard work go down the drain, you see it was really easy doing all this, you know I noticed that people really like other people who had been through a tough situation and then came out as a better person, heck they even sympathized with them, so I thought I should try the same, so I did everything to become the strong willed woman that people would sympathize with and let me tell it wasn't easy, wearing these shitty clothes acting like a kindest lady in the world, talking to all those pathetic people with a smile who came to express their sympathy and listening to them and becoming the kindest woman they could imagine, ugh so nauseating, but you know what it was all worth it , just so I could ruin you."

Xia Ruo wasn't smiling anymore and said in a serious tone, "Why are you telling me this?"

Xia Su gave an evil smile, "well don't worry, no need to get so serious, I'm not going to do anything to you here right now, but I just came here to tell you one thing, I hope you enjoyed that little victory of yours because I am going to pay back everything tenfold, you know what you did to me right, well I am gonna make sure you go through that exact same thing every day for rest of your pathetic life and make sure that both you and Zhang Fei suffer the most inhumane of tortures ..."

Xia Su continued with her rant of how she would do the most basic villain stuff and Xia Ruo stopped listening to her seriously and started getting bored. When Xia Ruo heard the word 'torture', she thought of Zhang Fei. hmm why did I think of him.

Right outside of the mall Zhang Fei was wearing a hoodie and a cap and passing through the nearby road going towards one of the less developed areas of the city. Recently he had taken into consideration the things that were told by the now dead Luo, about how there are clubs where people discuss books. He already knew that there were certain clubs where only a specific author's book would be discussed. Naturally he was interested in what people thought about his books and wanted to talk face to face with his own fans. So after some searching he found a group of people on the net who enjoyed his books and had a gathering every 3 weeks. He got in touch with the group and was looking forward to meeting with them today. Just as he was passing near the mall, he heard Coco say.

[Host, Xia Su and Xia Ruo are in the mall in front of us, they seem to be uh.........having a coffee together?]

"You shouldn't just take things for what they seem."

[Ahem I'm the highly sophisticated AI that can see them through the walls not you.] Coco said this in a tone that implied that Zhang Fei wouldn't know anything since he couldn't even see them.

(-_-) For a highly sophisticated AI, you are pretty dumb too. "Xia Su probably came to cause some trouble from Xia Ruo."

[Then shouldn't you help her?]Coco wasn't very optimistic when he said these words because he was pretty sure Zhang Fei wasn't a knight in shining armor who would save the damsel in distress every time. He was more like the evil dragon that would steal the princess from the castle and screw everyone over while burning their farms and villages.

"No need, I don't thing Xia Su would try anything too weird right now since she is currently in the process of rebuilding and solidifying her image again so she wouldn't take the risk to screw with Xia Ruo so openly, unless she wanted everyone to see she was just that everything she did was an act."

[But what if she DOES try something hmm? Didn't you say Xia Ruo was incompetent?]

"She is, but I'm sure she would be able to take care of herself against her petty tricks and besides I taught her, I'm sure she can handle herself to a certain extent." Zhang Fei said all this with a slight smirk.

Coco Just looked at Zhang Fei with a judegmental look. Coco was pretty sure that most of the things that Zhang Fei taught Xia Ruo were not practical at all and would just make one question the person's sanity.

The Duo calmly walked past the mall and went forward towards their destination, but the duo didn't notice that some figures were slowly and silently following them.

Meanwhile Xia Su Continued pouring out the ugliness of her heart and continued to tell her sister how she had fooled everyone in her act and how she was going to ruin Zhang Fei's and Xia Ruo's life.

"You done?" Xia Ruo asked with a half-smile on her face that made her look her adorable and mischievous at the same time.

"Yes, I am, just prepare yourself for your impending doom, I hope you will like what I have planned for you." Xia Su was ready to get up but stopped when she noticed Xia Su's action as she took out her phone and started playing something on it. She initially had a calm look but that soon changed into one of dread and horror when she noticed that Xia Ruo had recorded their entire conversation in which Xia Su clearly and blatantly admitted to playing an act just to fool everyone. Xia Su sat there like a statue with a blank face. Xia Ruo got up from her seat with a smile on her face and went near Xia Su and calmly said in a low voice.

"Congratulations, you just played yourself.......bitch."

Xia Ruo left the café in an extremely good mood. She and Zhang Fei indeed had a headache when they saw how Xia Su pulled a reverse card and undid everything they did and were still thinking of a way to reverse the situation. But who taught that the person who was giving them a headache would themselves help them dig a grave for her. She laughed when she recalled the shocked and horrified look on Xia Su's face. haha I bet she is still recovering from the shock.

Xia Su indeed was in shock because that simple of action of recording their conversation would have a devastating effect on her plans and completely ruin her without giving her a chance to make a comeback. She had to get rid of that recording at any cost possible. She looked back and saw Xia Ruo going towards the stairs. She noticed that at that time there was no one near the stairs and a sinister though come into her mind. She abruptly got up and hurried walked towards in half jog half walking manner. She rushed towards Xia Ruo because she was afraid she would miss such an golden opportunity to get rid of her and the recording both at the same time.

Xia Ruo was currently in a good mood and was thinking of what she was going to demand from Zhang Fei now that she herself was the main attacker and had done a huge service to their honorable cause. She was sure that that black hearted person wouldn't say no to her this time. When she was going towards the stairs she heard someone hurried coming towards her direction. She didn't turn to look around and had already noticed that Xia Su was coming towards her with a crazed look in her eyes from the reflection of the mirrors of the nearby railing that were fully made of mirror. It was a queer choice of design but it still looked nice.

Xia Ruo pretended not to notice Xia Su and stood right at the edge of the stairs and waited for Xia Su to approach her. When She eventually did approach Xia Ruo she almost leapt to push Xia Ruo. At that instant Xia Ruo side-stepped and put one of her foot forward which ended up tripping Xia Su. Xia Su noticed her sister's actions but couldn't stop herself from going forward because of her momentum and couldn't stop herself in time and ended up tumbling down the stairs with a horrified look on her face. Xia Ruo watched how she fell down the stairs with cold eyes and a chilling smile. She turned around and walked away without even waiting for Xia Su to reach the end of the stairs. It was risky move, but she succeeded in doing such a thing since no one was around the stairs at the top and there were no cameras in front of this particular stairs. She only heard a scream and some shouts of people rushing to the scene as she walked away.

Zhang Fei was currently standing in the streets of a local marketplace and was looking at his phone to find the location of the group meeting.

[I can't believe you got lost despite such simple directions]

"Well I don't see you being helpful."

[Oh and why should I help you. I enjoy seeing your misery.] Coco said in a giddy tone just to piss off Zhang Fei. Coco just said this to mess with him a little and would naturally help his host get to his destination since it was his system, his job was to help his host in the many worlds that the host went through and he would definitely do that, but who said Coco couldn't annoy his host while he was at it.

Zhang Fei just rolled his eyes at his defective cube and lamented his fate at why he was paired up with such useless cube. If he could he would have already bashed up this cube a couple times. Zhang Fei didn't notice that a guy was slowly coming towards him from the back. The man stopped right behind Zhang Fei and showed a vicious smile and his hands calmly reached for something in his jacket. Zhang Fei and Coco were still busy in a war of insults while Zhang Fei continued to check the location of the club on his phone and didn't notice the guy behind him. Suddenly he felt a chilly sensation and felt that the temperature around him dropped. He felt as if he was in great danger and if he didn't move something really bad would happen to him. He felt this sensation just a second before a gun shot was heard in the street and then people started screaming and running away while a lifeless body lied on the pavement as blood continiuosly dyed the ground red.
