Looking at Li Minghui stammering, unable to utter a single complete sentence, Lin Ye couldn’t help but find it amusing,
even though Li Fei never actively mentioned anything about her uncle’s family to Lin Ye.
But in the end, Lin Ye learned through other channels that Li Minghui’s family was nothing more than vampires exploiting Li Fei’s guardianship.
To Li Fei, this family was purely the source of her misery, with no real emotional ties.
And now Li Minghui still dared to say such things here, his cheek was truly thick to a certain extent.
Lin Ye raised his magic staff and swung it towards Li Minghui.
The sudden attack left Li Minghui, who thought he had found a way out, completely dumbfounded.
If he was still going to be killed, then why bother healing him?
Was it to humiliate him?
After two hits, Li Minghui’s life value was already at its end.
The probability of acquiring a talent was indeed very low.
"Don’t kill me... I’m begging you..." Li Minghui was still pleading. Just one more blow and his life value would undoubtedly explode!
By then, he would really die!
Another Holy Light, and Li Minghui’s life value was full again.
This left Li Minghui a bit confused.
Why was he being healed again?
Was there any need for this?
Yet, the next moment, another blow fell directly on his head...
Ten minutes later, Li Minghui was finally driven insane.
"I thought Gao Wei was already crazy enough, but I didn’t expect you to be even crazier than Gao Wei! Hahaha!"
"Tormenting me , aren’t you afraid of going to hell!"
"Kill me! Just kill me already! Ahhhhh!"
Li Minghui screamed crazily, alternating between Lin Ye’s attacks and healing, constantly hovering between life and death, which completely shattered his sanity.
[Your Healing Technique has restored 205 life points for ’Li Minghui’, you have acquired the talent ’Mechanical Control (B-level)’!]
[Mechanical Control (B-level): Can control up to three mechanical puppets with a maximum quality of blue to fight for you]
With this Healing Technique, Lin Ye finally obtained what he desired.
Seeing the mentally devastated Li Minghui after such torment, Lin Ye decided to give this guy a swift end.
With a few more strikes, Li Minghui’s life value hit rock bottom again.
At this moment, Li Minghui let out a strange laughter akin to a whimper, wondering if another Healing Technique was coming?
He just wanted a swift end now.
However, this time, instead of the healing Holy Light, a solid strike hit his body.
Li Minghui heard the clear sound of glass shattering! Fresh chapters posted on novel{f}ire.net
His pupils dilated rapidly!
People are ; when truly facing death, they always want to live as long as possible.
Even though he was just clamoring for Lin Ye to give him a quick death...
But Lin Ye was also tired of such pointless torment, and since he couldn’t really let Li Minghui leave alive, the only thing he could do now was to directly kill Li Minghui with a single blow.
As the magic staff struck down, Li Minghui finally fell.
Lin Ye wiped the blood off the magic staff and let out a long sigh...
Killing these people, he felt no guilt whatsoever.
Gao Wei was never a good person, and his lackeys were nothing but accomplices in evil.
Not to mention, Gao Wei and Li Minghui both came with malicious intent towards Lin Ye.
So if they died, they died.
But no matter what, Gao Wei was a member of the Gao Family, and the son of the current Patriarch of the Gao Family; his death was by no means as trivial as any other idle Professional.
If Lin Ye intended to seal the mouths of the investigators, he couldn’t just walk out of here openly.
The Professional Plaza was bustling at noon.
At this hour, many Professionals had just completed a normal difficulty Secret Realm, exiting for a rest.
Meanwhile, those who failed the last challenge were already regrouping, preparing to start a new challenge.
Among the crowd were vendors doing business, making it exceptionally lively.
And just at this moment, a Teleportation Array appeared on an open space.
People around were accustomed to this; it was a common scene when Professionals exited the Secret Realm.
However, in the next moment, when the person in the Teleportation Array appeared, it still caused a stir.
"Oh dear... injured? That means his life value was busted?"
"Is this another guy who challenged beyond his means?"
"Tsk tsk... only one person made it out alive..."
"Someone help him to a nearby hospital or chapel!"
There were a few shouts around, but practically no one was willing to lend a hand.
Everyone was busy; helping to report an incident was already kind enough.
"It’s okay, I’ll be fine after resting for a bit..."
Lin Ye declined the kindness of the people around him.
The feeling of being injured once again...
In his past life, he had quite a number of such experiences, but intentionally letting monsters bust his life value and pretending to be injured was a first.
There was no other way; without some injuries, it wouldn’t be convincing.
"Lin... Lin Ye? Isn’t that Lin Ye?"
At this moment, a surprised exclamation came from the crowd.
Lin Ye looked over, a bit surprised to find a classmate among the crowd.
Hearing this, the people around reacted immediately.
"Lin Ye? Is he that big shot who cleared the SSS-Class at Black Stone Mine?"
"Whoa... even the big shot crashed?"
"No way, I remember he went with the young master of the Gao Family to the Mysterious Island, and now he’s the only one who came back out..."
"Doesn’t that mean everyone else is dead?"
All of a sudden, many looked at Lin Ye with a trace of strange interest in their eyes.
Even though casualties in the Secret Realm are unavoidable...
It depends on who it is.
People from the Gao Family, could ordinary Professionals even compare?
The Gao Family would probably find Lin Ye soon.
"Alright, alright! Let’s not stir up trouble!"
"Oh, slipping away..."
Suddenly, many in the crowd watching the commotion started to disperse.
As for the classmate who recognized Lin Ye, after hearing others reveal the inside story, he too left in a hurry as if fleeing.
Afraid of getting involved with Lin Ye and attracting the wrath of the Gao Family.
This scene was within Lin Ye’s expectations...
"Better report to the Professional Center first."
Lin Ye resumed his steps, heading towards the Professional Center.
Surviving Professionals must report when their teammates die in the Secret Realm.
In the hospital, Li Fei looked weakly at the middle-aged couple in front of her, utterly exhausted.
These two had been causing trouble for the medical staff all morning, trying to get their 3 million medical fees refunded.
Moreover, this time, they seemed to have learned, completely bypassing Li Fei, avoiding any conflict with her.
Making it so Li Fei had no strength to exert.
"I said it, why pay so much for medical fees? There must be something wrong! This money must be refunded!" Xu Mei kept shouting loudly.
Only attracting disdain from all the onlookers around.
Just then, her husband received a phone call.
"Hello! Professional Center? What do you want with me?"
"What? What did you say? Minghui might be missing in the Secret Realm? Impossible..."
Yu Mei froze for a moment, immediately snatching the phone from her husband’s hand: "What did you say! What happened to Minghui?"
This sudden change left the surrounding onlookers visibly surprised, whispering amongst themselves.
Even Li Fei was somewhat surprised that Li Minghui was actually missing in the Secret Realm?
Such a notice from the Professional Center basically announced that this person was already dead within the Secret Realm.
Missing was just a euphemism.
Because when you die in the Secret Realm, you basically never come out, neither seen alive nor dead, only treated as missing.
Only after a certain period without returning to the real world will death be officially confirmed.
"Impossible! Impossible! You’re talking nonsense!"
Yu Mei shouted into the phone, almost frantically.
"It must be nonsense!"
Like she’d been driven mad, Yu Mei yelled into the phone.
