Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1041: Panic

He was unable to restrain his emotions in front of Yanran who was tightly locked away. In recent days, he had suffered devastating blows from these three extraterrestrial planet people, both psychologically and physically, almost driving him mad.

For instance, he had lived in a prominent family since childhood, truly a second generation celebrity. At home, he was an undeniable young master, with his parents and all the servants treating him like a star surrounded by admirers. Even his parents wouldn’t show any displeasure, not to mention anyone else.

Since he embarked on his political path, things had gone smoothly; over the decades, he was the one yelling and hitting people, and no one dared challenge him. As for anyone opposing him, they simply didn’t exist.

Who knew, ever since he encountered these three extraterrestrial planet people, repeatedly he had endured humiliation, both mentally and physically, even being slapped a few times by that man!

It was a great humiliation!

If he could endure such deep-seated hatred, he might as well be dead.

Now that he’s captured two of the three women, his plan is two-thirds complete. How could he not be ecstatic?

Shorty stood in front of Yanran, his eyes alternated between fervor and gloom, staring at her intensely, unsure whether to exact immediate revenge for the slaps or wait until he had captured the man as well.

Yanran coldly watched him, observed Shorty several times raise his hand to hit her but hesitated and lowered it.

”You still haven’t made up your mind?” Yanran asked him, her tone surprisingly calm, she continued, ”If you don’t act now, you might not get another chance!”

Shorty was enraged by Yanran’s words, he rushed to Yanran, his face contorted with anger in his eyes.

”Not get a chance? Haha,” Shorty raised his head, laughing, ”My opportunities will only multiply!”

He declared to Yanran, ”Once I catch the man who’s with you, you’ll see what fate awaits those who offend me!”

”Are you certain?” Yanran wasn’t scared by his words, her eyes still devoid of expression, she didn’t shy away from Shorty’s gaze, simply staring directly at him.

Shorty had never felt this kind of burning anger before; the extraterrestrial planet girl in front of him, although a prisoner, presented a calm demeanor, her tone revealing an indescribable confidence, as if she had cornered him instead.

Yanran’s attitude nearly made Shorty lose his mind. He had never seen anyone act so arrogantly in front of him.

Previously, when he stood before those he was about to deal with, he saw shrinking and desperation in their eyes, knowing well that once they were targeted by him, their fate would be bleak.

If they dared defy him, defy his authority, defy the life-and-death power he held over them, not only would they meet a tragic end, but even their family members would suffer.

Hence, when facing Shorty, his prisoners’ only hope was to confess and plead for a quick death.

And when those prisoners looked up at him, including lacking the courage to plead for mercy, Shorty’s ego swelled to divine levels.

But the girl before him did not!

She didn’t confess or beg for forgiveness. Instead, she gazed at him condescendingly, as if he were the captured prisoner, she seemed to hold the power over life and death.

This infuriated Shorty beyond control.

He decided to show the self-assured extraterrestrial planet girl who was truly in charge here!

Shorty clenched his teeth, raised his palm, and viciously aimed at the delicate yet despised face.

Shorty even imagined leaving five deep finger marks on the flawless skin before him.

Although he captured Yanran and Ba Lv, Yanran did not lose her dignity due to falling into the enemy’s hands.

Facing an arrogant Shorty, she remained calm and composed, neither intentionally provoking him nor yielding, without losing her own perspective.

Shorty didn’t anticipate the seemingly fragile girl would be so difficult to manage; he was angered by Yanran’s unconceding yet persistent attitude. He couldn’t comprehend why the extraterrestrial planet girl was his prisoner but remained so audacious and fearless.

Yanran’s attitude greatly angered Shorty; he disliked seeing the cold gaze from the girl, a look that seemed contemptuous and sarcastic, making him feel like a lowly creature.

Finally, he became utterly enraged and swung his hand at Yanran’s face.

But the anticipated crisp sound didn’t echo.

His hand was firmly caught by another hand.

Shorty was startled, almost unable to believe his eyes: ”You, you... how—” he stammered, unable to speak.

Yanran’s hand had seized Shorty’s hand.

Shorty, surprisingly unable to foresee her move, became pale with sweat pouring down his forehead soaking his collar.

He clearly understood the enmity between him and the girl; once she regained freedom, the consequences for him would be severe, a fear starkly in his mind.

He attempted to break free but found he lacked strength, despite being a man. Tried as he might, he couldn’t escape, increasingly terrorized, he screamed, ”Let go of me, Ai Wei! Lu Wei!”

Yanran quickened her escape.

Although Shorty captured Yanran, he understood little about her. To know oneself and the enemy leads to victory, a saying evidently misunderstood by Shorty from the Earth’s Hua Family Country.

Thus after an initial period of glee, he soon faced defeat.

He overlooked Yanran’s weapon.

During close encounters, he noticed the silver gloves on Yanran, yet didn’t realize they were made from special metal, capable of transforming into steel claws as needed.

Neglecting Yanran’s weapon led to his downfall.

Shorty’s eyes widened in terror, watching Yanran effortlessly sever the steel bindings with her steel clawed gloves.

Though her hands were bound by steel bars earlier, only the hands were restrained, without controlling her palms, enabling her gloves to slowly morph into steel claws, cutting the binding effortlessly.
