I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 480: 11.6 First Green Star [Past] What Happened After Ye Xiajieʼs Death? (4)

Hei Anjingʼs First Trial. 

The first trial is to watch the soul wisps of Ye Xiajie that were scattered in all words. He could not show himself to him, cannot get involved regardless of life and death, his role is to become an observer in his belovedʼs life.

Nth World: Modern

In this world, Ye Xiajie stood up at the peak as the most famous and internationally well-known figure in the business industry. He was only in his mid-thirties as he stood above all others as the most influential person in society. He is the dream man of all girls. A Male God that everyone reveres. 

He was at the top of the world. But despite all his success, standing at the peak no one else was by his side. He is a man who was orphaned at a young age. He had no relatives and had climbed up from the very bottom of the society. He had experienced betrayals like no other. He had no friends and no family to lean on. He is alone for his whole life and only his subordinates follow him as they were afraid of him.

But at the same time, as he reached the peak of his life, he had suddenly suffered a setback he could never solve even with money. An unknown terminal illness hit him in the back. He was only about to reach his forties but now he could only lay down on the bed sickly.

His stern and handsome figure were wasted. His perfectly structured body from before is nothing but a pile of bones and skin right now. In a secret hospice that he made for his own use, Ye Xiajieʼs life was slowly withering.

He had no lovers or friends. He had no family. The only ones by his side are people he paid money for. They werenʼt loyal to him either and Ye Xiajie knew about that as well. No one is there to protect him. No one to accompany him. He might be the mightiest man in the world but in the end, he is also the loneliest person there is in this world.

At the end of his life, he summoned his lawyers. He wanted to check on him whether he had done his tasks well. Ye Xiajie wanted to use more than half. Of his money for charity. He builds hospitals, orphanages, libraries, and many more. The rest of his money will be split among the people who had stayed by his side until the end. Right now, by calling his personal lawyer he is about to sign his last will.

The lawyer spoke, ”President, everyone has been done up to your request. hehehe~”

Ye Xiajie, who already looks worse than an old man, stared coldly at the lawyer and few men with him. Within their eyes were greed and disdain for him. He isnʼt blind yet and hasnʼt died yet but these men were like locusts who wanted to steal his hard work and betrayed him. But no one noticed the flashes of killing intent within his tired eyes.

Until he finally heard them spout the words,

”What is so respectful towards someone who would die?”

”Donʼt leave my part okay? You said to split his riches with just all five of us!”

”Tsk! Who told him to waste more than half of his money on charities. Those cannot be taken away but we could still sell some of his properties for our use.”

”Idiot! How back a bit. The president is still alive.”

Even the lawyer just now spoke but the opposite of the servile attitude from before he acts like a scourge this time. Checking on all the crooked signatures on the paper in front of him made him annoyed.

”Canʼt he sign more like a human? It looks like an alien language! Damn, I have to pull some strings to make this past. President, you should have given us your wealth. A dying person is already a wasteful person. Give up all the money already!” said the lawyer.

Ye Xiajie narrowed his eyes, making the people inside the room flinch. When he was healthy he could still remember these men begging him to hire him. He pitied them and made sure they were useful. Who would have expected him to lead a pack of white-eyed wolves in his own house?

He knew his body well. He is already dying. His body is about to break but his soul is still strong. This is something he couldnʼt deny. Using the last strength in his body. He forces himself to seat up and look at the men in front of him with cold eyes like how he is before.

He could feel their intense fear towards him. There is no man who stood in the peak of everyone without ruthlessness in his bones. Among the people, it is the worst among them. He had nothing to lose after all. He had no family and was a lonely person. Now that even his life is almost gone. He is not afraid of death himself. Pulling a god under his blanket he raised his hand calmly.

Those men before him finally felt death looming over their heads. The one who tried to run out was instantly killed as Ye Xiajie targeted his head. 

”A gun!!? No way!” 

BANG! Headshot +1!

”B-Boss calm down I... - - -”

BANG! Headshot +2!

”Fuck! Were you playing dead!?”

BANG! Headshot +3!

”Tsk! So you still have the strength to move. If I knew I wouldnʼt have sided with them and waited for you to die naturally. I tried to steal the egg and the chicken only to lose both. Do it, boss!”

Ye Xiajie spoke, ”A greedy fool you are.”

BANG! Headshot +4!

Only the lawyer was left in the middle of the pool of blood and dead bodies. He was trembling as his whole body was shaking. He looks at Ye Xiajie with fearful eyes. He wanted to kneel down to beg for his life but he even allowed a single word for a hole in his forehead to appear. 

”B-Boss I...!!!”

BANG! Headshot +5!

”I do not need to listen to the pleas of a traitor. Cough*” 

Blood tainted his white blanket yet Ye Xiajie looked at the beautiful scene beyond his window. Children are playing outside. There is an orphanage near his hospice and this is one of the few buildings built under his charities. He was using a silencer so no one noticed what he had done. But the machines connected to his body started ringing, alarming some hospital staff and a few more men under his command. 

When everyone saw the bloody scene inside his hospital room, some nurses screamed in fear before fainting. Some doctors were frightened and their eyes were shaking as if they wanted to run away. There are some who ran away... 

”Ahhh!! Murder!!! Someone had been killed!” 

”Hey Stop!” 

Ye Xiajie spoke, ”No need to stop those who ran away. Clean up here. As for the rest, I leave it to you people.” 

These people werenʼt too loyal to him but they were still grateful. Seeing the man who stood on the peak of the world look envious of the people leaving a normal life beyond his window they couldnʼt hold back their eyes turning red. 

”In this world, I didnʼt marry. No one is there to inherit my mantle. I had no lovers nor illegitimate children. But I do feel that someone out there had been looking over me but didnʼt dare to approach. All I know is that this person accompanied me in my weakest state towards my strongest but he never showed his face before me. 

He might be restricted by something. Something that forbids him to show himself to me. But I know... I know I was never alone. I worked hard and stood at the top of the world and wished that by gaining the most powerful strength I would be able to exchange it for one glimpse. 

But sadly fate does not allow my selfish wish and gives me this illness that nothing could cure even with all the wealth I have.

If you can hear me, listen to my words. In this world, I might not know who you are or what you are. I only wanted to give you my thanks... Thank you for... Accompanying me... All this... Time...”

BEEEEPPPP~

The rhythmical sounds of the hospital machine had turned into a long deafening sound. It signifies that the heart of the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed had finally taken his last breath. 

”BOSS!!!” 

Then before their eyes, an ethereal-looking young man with long brown hair and silver irises wearing an ancient white robe worn by the immortals in the books and history appeared in thin air. He was floating as his slender fair handheld both of Ye Xiajieʼs wrinkled face. There is no feeling of disgust within those argent eyes. Only immense sadness and yearning. They watched as the man kissed the dried lips of their boss and a single drop of tears fell from those precious silver irises down to their bossʼs face like a drop of pearl. 

This man is Hei Anjing who was waiting for his life as an observer. He doesnʼt have a body, only a soul but with his cultivation, he could still solidify himself even for a moment. Giving this man a farewell kiss was his last gift. 

Hei Anjing spoke, ”I am always here watching over you. Come, itʼs time to go home, AʼXia.”

He then pulled out a small glowing orb from within the body, cradling it precisely within his embrace. 

”Even in this nth world, you are still not meant to have a happy ending, my love...” murmured Hei Anjing and then once again disappeared in thin air. 

The people who had witnessed that supernatural scene were left stunned in shock. They were speechless and as if losing their energy some of them were terrified to the point of madness. After all, the beauty Hei Anjing possesses is beyond human range. He is a godlike being that no normal person could see. 

To be able to see him at the last moment of their boss, theyʼve realized that this was the person the boss was talking about. Someone who is always by his side but isnʼt able to see or touch. A man that only appeared once the boss had died. 

They are so sure that he wasnʼt a human. A Godly being that mortals like them shouldnʼt have known. 

Left in shock they finally returned in reality when someone from their side had come running over with a report. 

”Vice-President, there is a strange thing happening in the HQ. They said that 70 percent of the wealth of the boss was secured by the government for public charities per the wish of the boss. And... The last 30 percent was equally split between us. The other didnʼt receive a single cent; only those who stayed by the boss in this hospice and protected him until the end were mentioned. All those who issued complaints were captured and jailed for further notice.

Sir, did the boss do this?”

”No, the boss is gone. He had just... Left a few moments ago.”

”Then who could do such a thing? The government isnʼt saying anything and it was said that the order came from the president of the country itself.”

Those who had witnessed Hei Anjing just now all looked at the space and just disappeared too. They had the inking in their hearts that the one who had dealt with all those sudden changes might be that person. 

”The boss said that being is someone who isnʼt supposed to exist in this world. Donʼt tell me, is the... God?” 

”Watch your mouth. Forget everything youʼve seen. Prepare the Bossʼs Funeral. No one is allowed to be rude in the process!” 

”Yes, Vice-President!”

”Donʼt forget to clean up the bodies and the room. I will watch over the boss here.”

The man who took the temporary reins of the company covered the corpse on the bed with another clean blanket. He stared at his bossʼs body without saying a thing then looked at the scenery his boss was looking at his last moment. 

”Maybe the boss... wanted a simple life. A happy life with that being...” 

Hei Anjingʼs role is to watch his loverʼs countless death like this. Unable to see himself, unable to talk to him and he could only accompany him like an invisible being. Only after the end of the life that Soul Fragments possessed that he could finally show himself to bring away his loverʼs soul.

His heartache was endless and some of the death was gruesome. No one knew how many times Hei Anjing cried. No one knew how much he wanted to save his loverʼs soul in those souls but he could only watch. The moment he tries to make his move, Mo Baojun would completely restrain his soul. He would be forced to watch his belovedʼs suffering and death.. The pain and his agony are worse than his own death.
