Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 16 Extorting The Second Heroine

Kang Huian was a stunning seventeen-year-old beauty with a powerful strength that belied her lean and seductive physique. Her slender frame was perfectly proportioned, with curves in all the right places, and her almond-shaped eyes were a warm and inviting brown.

Her long, silky black hair flowed down her back in a midnight river, contrasting beautifully against her porcelain skin. Her full lips were a natural rosy hue, and her cheekbones were high and defined, giving her a regal appearance.

Her gorgeous eyes opened, revealing her mesmerizing, ruby pupils. Those red pupils stared curiously at Wang Jian as this was their first meeting.

She was immediately struck by Wang Jianʼs handsome appearance. His silver hair and piercing blue eyes were like no other she had ever seen before. The way he carried himself, dressed in royal clothing, added to his already impressive demeanor.

”Y-you are Wang Jian?” She stuttered while softly calling out his name.

”Correct,” Wang Jian calmly replied. He went and sat on a chair next to Kang Huianʼs bed.

Kang Huian attempted to rise from her bed, but was overcome by a sudden jolt of pain from the Devil Venom, causing her to recline back in discomfort.

”You have already met your father. I am sure he has informed you of the situation and our deal,” Wang Jian spoke.

Kang Huianʼs expression was filled with a mixture of bitterness and disgust as she spoke, ”Yes, I did hear a bit. In exchange for curing me from the Devil Venom, you want my tribe to eradicate the Miracle Angel Tribe. And on top of that, you want all of our cultivation and martial techniques as well.”

”Whatʼs with that expression? Do you think I am being unfair?” Wang Jian inquired with an amused smile.

Kang Huianʼs fists tightened into balls as the words reached her ears. The audacity of Wang Jian to play the role of a cunning swindler and use her as leverage to extort her tribe was simply unforgivable. The urge to retaliate surged within her like a wildfire. Had she not been inflicted with the Devil Venom, she would have leaped to her feet and launched a fierce attack on the spot.

A faint glimmer of realization shone through her mind. She pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that, had she not been bitten by the Devil Venom, she wouldnʼt have found herself in such a dreadful and vulnerable state. It was due to this venom that she was completely incapable of mounting a resistance against Wang Jianʼs vile schemes.

”Staying silent is the right decision. Now, letʼs get straight to the topic. I came here to strike a deal with you,” Wang Jian spoke calmly.

Kang Huian was displeased to hear those words and replied venomously, ”What? You are going to extort me separately?”

Wang Jian appeared amazed to hear her and seriously nodded, ”You are rather prudent. I did come to extort you, but the subject is different. Itʼs not your own life you have to be worried about.”

Kang Huian was initially at a loss, wondering what Wang Jianʼs stipulation would be for curing her of the Devil Venom. Yet, as she delved deeper into his request, the reality of the situation became clear to her.

”N-No way. You evil bastard…!” Kang Huian shouted as she tried to stand up and attack Wang Jian. However, the pain was so great that her limbs remained immobilized.

Wang Jianʼs face lit up with satisfaction as he noticed Kang Huianʼs comprehension, ”Ah, so you finally comprehend the situation. To put it simply, Iʼm using your father, or should I say your tribeʼs lives, as leverage to get what I want.”

Wang Jian was thrilled as he saw the distress in Kang Huianʼs expression. He took pleasure in her despondency, knowing that he had the upper hand.

Kang Huian seethed with anger as Wang Jian cut her off and continued with his selfish demands. ”End my engagement to Lin Feng? You must be kidding me. My father and tribe would never stoop so low as to betray the War Godʼs trust. Youʼre a lowlife to even suggest such a thing!”

Wang Jian sneered in response. ”Your fatherʼs foolish pride will be the death of you all. What good is loyalty to the War God if it means sacrificing your family? Your fatherʼs honor means nothing in the face of death.”

”Youʼre a despicable, conniving rat, Wang Jian!” Kang Huian shouted, her eyes blazing with fury. ”I will make sure you pay for all the pain and suffering youʼve caused my tribe and me. You have no right to question our loyalty to the War God, and you certainly have no right to use our lives as bargaining chips!”

Wang Jian disregarded her words by rolling his eyes, ”Yeah, yeah, I know. I know how you wish to kill me a thousand times. But can we really do this another time? I am a busy person. I donʼt have so much time to hear you rant.”

A serious look appeared in his eyes, ”Give me your answer immediately. Will it be your clanʼs destruction or breaking your marriage contract with Lin Feng? If you dare to mess around any longer, I will consider it as you choosing the former option.”

Kang Huian gritted her teeth upon hearing that ultimatum. She said, ”…Very well. I will break my marriage contract immediately.”

She closed her eyes, her body surrounded by a glowing green aura. As she concentrated, an ancient yellow scroll materialized before her. The scroll was etched with Kang Huian and Lin Fengʼs names, along with intricate script and symbols that hinted at its immense power.

This was a religious marriage contract that signified the union of Kang Huian and Lin Feng. This marriage contract significantly boosted their physical power as long as they were near each other.

Wang Jian glared at Kang Huian and ordered her, ”Tear it!”

”…” Kang Huian remained silent as she stared at this marriage contract. Memories of her time together with Lin Feng flashed in her mind, but she still decisively chose to tear it.

No matter how precious Lin Feng was to her, he could never compare to her fatherʼs life.

Kang Huian utilized her green colored qi and tore apart that ancient yellow contract. After it was torn, the yellow energy around that ancient contract gathered into a stream and headed toward Lin Feng.
