Zhang fei and Xia Ruo were now in a café, which was finally a normal place much to coco’s relief. They were just sitting there and taking a cup of tea and cake as Xia Ruo continued to talk as always and Zhang Fei continued to listen……….sometimes. “Come on, let me tell you my idea to end all of this, you will definitely like it.” Xia Ruo once again wanted to give one of her glorious ideas from her book of ‘Never Ending Failures’ but was stopped by Zhang Fei once again. “ Sure but if it’s something like driving a car over Mo wenzi or pushing Xia Su into a swimming pool just because she can’t swim again then I will make sure this will be the last place I accompany you to.”
Xia Ruo immediately shut up, damn even she knew her plans were mediocre. In reality Xia Ruo’s plans weren’t bad and could even accomplish what they wanted to but to Zhang Fei such things were a child’s play, he didn’t want to end it so easily. He also refused her so she could think of better plans, after all he personally guided her in the ways of a sadist. Her coming up with such simple plans was kind of a big slap to his years of mastery in scheming.
“Okay okay I won’t give another plan again, at least tell me what you plan on doing, we have been just sitting and waiting for the Xia Corporations stock value to decrease, but while we were doing that a foreign company gave my fath- Xia Jian a deal that could save their company and Mo wenzi’s father is slowly gathering up support and power so he can free Mo wenzi from jail, then he will definitely turn all of his attention to us, then we are definitely screwed when the two of them will join forces against us.”
“I know, I already took care of it.” Zhang Fei motioned towards the T.V. Xia Ruo looked at the T.V and her eyes widened in disbelief. The T.V had a local news channel on, and it was covering an accident that happened on a bridge that took the life of a prestigious person. It was Mo wenzi’s father, witnesses said that the car was speeding up and wasn’t slowing down. As it was going faster and faster, the driver lost control and crashed the car to the side railing , which then turned sideways and rolled a few meters before coming to a halt. The driver and Mo wenzi’s father seemed to have survived the car crash and were trying to get out. People also went forward to help them, but only the driver’s seatbelt opened up while Mo Wenzi’s father seatbelt was jammed and wouldn’t open no matter what. Before the people could cut off the seatbelt a fire suddenly started on top of the car even though there was no fuel leakage at all. Everyone ran away and after a few moments the car blew up along with the boss of the Mo Corporation.
[Wow………..…that was brutal.] But I have seen worse, and that at the hand of the same creature of darkness.
“He was the last obstacle and support for the leads, getting rid of him was necessary.”
[Yeah I understand that, but wasn’t failing the breaks enough? You even jammed the seatbelt and planted an explosive to get rid of him.]
“Well if you have terrible luck like me you have to compensate it with backup plans.”

[oh haha right I forgot.] it looks like I have long lost the chance to tell him about my screw about the negative karma, I hope he doesn’t mind it too much since we are partners………..…pftt hahahah of course he will……………… *cries internally for the impending doom*
Xia Ruo took a breath of relief, Mo wenzi’s father would have been a big headache if he hadn’t been dealt with properly, although she was curious how he could pull off something such as this so easily.
“Well that solves the last problem, all that is left is the deal, if they succeed we have to start from scratch to get rid of their financial support.”
“Don’t worry, I have a way for that as well.”
“What is it? Don’t tell me it’s a fake company that you set up so you could make them be off guard and then make a deal with them to make them go bankrupt in one go through the deal.” Xia ruo once again made a wild accurate guess.
“………….” Wow, she is scary.
Zhang Fei and Xia Ruo sat in the café for a while. Xia Ruo was happily munching on the cake and enjoying the richly flavored tea while Zhang Fei would enjoy the small moments of silence whenever Xia Ruo would be eating the cake and drinking tea. He also dodged the oh so cliché part where a female waitress spills hot coffee on a character and then the character either rages and builds a bad image in front of the heroin if he is a villain or calmly says it’s okay if he is a hero and builds a good image in front of the heroin. But unfortunately for the cup of tea, Zhang Fei was neither, so it couldn’t find its victim as he nimbly shifted on the seat away from it.
Both of them came out of the store with the waiter constantly apologizing behind them and bidding them farewell. Zhang Fei and Xia Ruo stood at the side of the road waiting for the driver to bring the car around. The sun had almost set, the sky was a mish mash of blue, orange, red and pink colors and in slowly increasing darkness, all around all of the lights of the streets, shops, houses were turned on giving the scene a surreal feeling when everything was taken in all together.
“A fine day indeed” Zhang Fei said with a slight smile as he basked in the last rays of sunlight of the day.
“Yeah, it is.” Xia Ruo said in a calm manner. Both of them stayed silent and appreciated the beauty of nature. Both of them were silently looking at the sky and it almost looked like both of them created a separate silent world between them and the others and were attracting quite a lot of gazes who wished to look at this unique pair. They were both beautiful and good looking, so combined with the scene it almost formed a beautiful unreal painting.
“Hey mister look out!” A football flew towards Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei’s ever worsening luck had decided that he had enough of enjoying the sunset and should probably get his daily dose of accidents, but Zhang fei dodged the ball. Although he dodged he forget that right behind him was Xia Ruo who ended getting a face full of a football, not that he would have stopped the ball if he remembered. It’s not every day you can get a good laugh out of an actual accident. Well except for Coco, If unexpected accidents were a cause for laugh, then Zhang Fei’s stay in this world could be described as a full time comedy for Coco although he would stop laughing every time he remembered he didn’t tell Zhang Fei about the accidents beforehand and now it was too late.
Xia Ruo didn’t even see the ball coming, after a face full of football, she fell on the side path without moving, almost as if she had already taken her last breath. Zhang Fei just smirked and didn’t even move to help her up while Coco said a few prayers. Ah rest in peace child, you had such a bright future ahead………wait maybe a dark future is a better description for it, anyways don’t mix up with people like Zhang fei in the next world to avoid such a fate. Meanwhile the sun finally set and another day came to an end.
