Super Island Tycoon

Jiang Cheng feared this could be his enemy, at least for now, but he wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen right in front of him.

He despised men using violence to force women into anything they didn’t want to do.

Ba Lv struggled tirelessly, yet she knew the hateful man’s words were true. As an important member of the headquarters, she understood what being thrown into the death cell meant.

However, she absolutely wouldn’t let the man before her succeed, even if it meant her death. Of course, she also knew that given her current circumstances, even wanting to die wasn’t something easily accomplished.

She continued struggling, even though all her efforts were futile, yet she wanted the person in front of her to understand that she wouldn’t resign to being manipulated. Her struggle was more a declaration of her refusal.

She knew that today she couldn’t escape this dreadful fate.

From the day she entered the cell, this man’s malicious gaze never strayed from her, watching intently. Whenever she felt his repulsive gaze on her, her hair would stand on end.

As someone aware, she knew what that gaze meant. She also understood the grim fate about to befall her, intensifying her hatred towards the damned executives of the Black Exhaust Group.

She remained loyal to the organization, yet they doubted her. After the interrogation didn’t yield the results they wanted, she was discarded like useless trash.

Death didn’t frighten her; she had executed countless assassinations and survived numerous battles. Death didn’t intimidate her, nor would it make her shrink back.

But now, she feared the man before her, feared the ordeal he intended to impose.

Fueled by anger against the Black Exhaust executives and her inborn resilience, Ba Lv still hadn’t allowed this man to succeed.

Her energy was nearly spent; the grim fate would soon descend.

Ba Lv couldn’t help but cry out, finally revealing her vulnerable side.

The man, seeing her this way, laughed triumphantly.

The long-anticipated delicacy was about to be his, how could he not be ecstatic?

Jiang Cheng seemed to understand his thoughts at this moment, he couldn’t help but fulfill his expectations.

Thus, the man died.

A knife hand struck the artery on his neck, and the man fell silently to the ground.

Suddenly, through tear-blurred eyes, Xi Lv noticed a shadow behind the man. This sight didn’t bring her hope; instead, she felt even more desperate.

No one would come to rescue her here; this shadow merely meant more suffering was in store.

The sound of the man falling stunned her.

As a killer, her keen instincts remained sharp, her judgment intact. She knew what this sound implied.

Tears formed into droplets in her eyes and fell, finally revealing the scene before her.

Ba Lv was wide-eyed. Extreme shock rendered her speechless.

Before seeing this person clearly, she had imagined that even if the person who adopted her came to rescue her... Even though she knew how cold-blooded that person was, she still harbored a shred of hope. No, she didn’t want him to free her; she knew it was impossible, that person would never do such a thing.

But at least, that person could spare her from further suffering, at least kill her quickly—this was her strongest desire right now.

If someone fulfilled this, she would gratefully acknowledge them.

However, the person before her turned out to be her enemy.

Her enemy killed the man who wanted to humiliate her, sparing her. How laughable, how absurd!

Ba Lv opened her mouth to say something, tears unknowingly streaming down.

Perhaps it was because the disaster swept over her harmlessly, causing her to completely relax, or perhaps the person before her, cold but clear, had a trace of caring light.

This trace of concern, like a life-saving straw, was grasped by Ba Lv’s heart on the verge of breaking.

Jiang Cheng didn’t stop Ba Lv from crying painfully. Understanding human nature, he knew the girl before him needed such crying to vent and relieve.

Ba Lv quickly ceased crying, which surprised Jiang Cheng somewhat.

The young woman before him was more resilient than he imagined, and also more logical. This newfound discovery slightly altered his perspective on her.

He respected strength in individuals, regardless of gender, friend or foe.

He also admired rationality in individuals, and the girl before him seemed rational enough, engendering a bit of respect in him.

Ba Lv knew this man infiltrated the Black Exhaust headquarters not for leisure or solely to rescue her; he had significant matters to attend to.

Thus, she swiftly stopped crying; now wasn’t the time for tears.

”Please, release me,” Ba Lv said.

Jiang Cheng twisted the iron chains with both hands, breaking them.

Ba Lv was astonished once again.

Since she saw the man’s cold gaze, she knew the impending misfortune she would face. Waiting for death wasn’t her style, so she had long thought of escaping.

The iron chains binding her were the first enemy she needed to tackle.

No matter how she wrenched, beat, or tried to break them with her strength, she couldn’t succeed.

She knew deeply how sturdy these chains were.

But now, the chains she couldn’t deal with were like wood in this man’s hands, shattering effortlessly. From his expression, he seemed relaxed, as if exerting no effort at all.

How could this not render her speechless?

Just as Ba Lv approached misfortune, Jiang Cheng saved her.

Although Jiang Cheng realized at this moment that Ba Lv’s situation wasn’t a trap, his act was more out of justice. However, after saving Ba Lv, his impression of her shifted somewhat.

Firstly, the girl was strong enough; had he not eliminated the man intending to humiliate her, her ordeal might have led to a disastrous end.

For most women, being forced by men to violate their will results in severe harm, both physically and psychologically, impacting their future lives profoundly and potentially causing lifelong repercussions.

Considering Ba Lv’s response after being saved, even as a significant figure in the Black Exhaust Group and a cold-blooded killer, she was still a girl strong on the outside, vulnerable within. In this respect, she was no different from other suffering girls.
