Chapter 2873 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 33
The bodyguard standing guard by the metal door was thrown aside and slammed into the opposite wall. The door frame twisted and deformed, and the wires sparked.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Jin Chen burst in.
He didn't seem to have done much; not even the hem of his clothes was ruffled. Only the black hair on his forehead was slightly ruffled by the force of the explosion. His face was expressionless, and behind him were pale-faced orc bodyguards.
They had clearly tried to stop them, so their eyes were filled with fear, their bodies trembled slightly, and they couldn't even stand up straight.
The big boss narrowed his eyes.
He had been immersed in the underground world for many years, and had seen all kinds of vicious and strangely capable orcs.
Bloodthirsty werewolves, ferocious bears—none of them could give him this sense of oppression.
This human named Jin Chen is no ordinary person. The secretary was right after all.
"You are Jin Chen."
Jin Chen's gaze went straight past him and landed on Yun Jian, who was bound.
Yun Jian was still kneeling on the ground, his wrists and ankles shackled. He lowered his head, his dark brown curly hair hanging down, covering most of his face.
But the moment Jin Chen looked over, Yun Jian's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head.
The big boss clearly noticed Yun Jian's change and suddenly laughed. He took two steps forward and stood between Yun Jian and Jin Chen, deliberately blocking their view.
"Unfortunately, you're too late, so your trip was in vain."
The big boss spoke, his voice laced with malicious glee, "Do you know what? This rabbit you've been so obsessed with isn't pregnant at all."
"A farce he orchestrated himself, driven by his own insane delusions and ridiculous desires, is it really worth you going against the underworld for a madman who can't even distinguish between reality and illusion?"
"I know that Mr. Jin is very capable, but please don't do anything foolish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Jian's body stiffened further, avoiding Jin Chen's gaze.
He felt the dull, bloating pain in his abdomen turn sharp, as if a knife was slowly stirring inside.
His eyes remained fixed on the ground, unblinking, awaiting Jin Chen's reaction.
Will Jin Chen be disappointed? Will she be disgusted? Will she... also find him ridiculous?
Jin Chen's expression did indeed turn cold, and he looked at the big boss as if he were looking at a dead man.
"I know."
Yun Jian froze, as if he hadn't heard clearly. After a couple of seconds, he raised his lowered eyes again, revealing a faint light.
Jin Chen knows...
Jin Chen always knew he was faking his pregnancy?
Then why... why did you still indulge him and coax him like that?
The big boss: "..."
He hadn't expected Jin Chen to react this way.
The big boss's voice turned cold. He took a step back and waved to the bodyguards around him, "Fine, fine! You know? What a coincidence! Since you like this madman so much and want to be with him so much, then die here with him!"
Another group of bodyguards rushed over and surrounded them. They moved swiftly, their sharp claws gleaming coldly, and the stench of their beastly odor was nauseating.
They pounced on Jin Chen.
And just then...
The chains broke.
The shackles on Yun Jian's wrists, used to suppress the orc's power, were forcibly broken. Metal fragments flew out, cutting the skin of his wrists, and blood dripped down his pale wrists to the ground.
But he seemed to feel no pain. The pressure from the high-ranking orcs spread out from him, slamming into every orc who lunged at Jin Chen.
The orc bodyguards at the forefront were like invisible walls, violently thrown away and slammed into the wall.
"Yun Jian!"
Jin Chen shouted, but couldn't stop him.
No one saw how Yun Jian broke free of his shackles or how he appeared behind the big boss.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, Yun Jian was already standing behind the big boss.
A hand pierced through the boss's chest from behind.
The hand was clean, with long, slender fingers that even looked somewhat delicate, but now it was piercing through the boss's chest, with its five fingers spread open and warm blood dripping from its fingertips.
The big boss lowered his head, staring incredulously at the hand protruding from his chest. He opened his mouth, but only mouthfuls of blood gushed out.
He fell down.
In the sealed room, only deathly silence remained.
The surviving orc bodyguards remained frozen in place, maintaining their attack or defensive postures, but staring intently at the boss's corpse on the ground, before slowly moving toward Yun Jian, who was standing beside the body.
Yun Jian's hands hung at his sides as he raised his eyes, his blood-red pupils sweeping over everyone in the secret room.
"Anyone who dares to touch Jin Chen again will die along with their boss."
Now that's good, no one dares to make a move.
Yun Jian turned around and walked towards Jin Chen, his steps slightly unsteady.
That last blow had exhausted most of his strength, and the weakness from the false pregnancy and the bloating in his abdomen also surged up at this moment.
Jin Chen reached out and caught him, pulling him steadily into her arms. She placed her palm on his back and could feel his slight trembling and cold sweat.
He lowered his head and gently kissed Yun Jian's sweaty forehead, scolding him in a low voice, "Stubborn to act tough."
Yun Jian leaned against him and whispered, "...I said I would protect you."
Yun Jian kissed Jin Chen on the corner of his lips, then straightened up with all his might.
He turned around, looked at the boss's corpse on the ground, bent down and picked up the red mask that represented his identity, still stained with warm blood.
Yun Jian stared at the mask for a few seconds, then clenched his fingers.
——Crack.
The mask was crushed to pieces in his hands and mixed into the pool of blood.
Then, Yun Jian lifted his foot and stepped on it.
Beside him lay the still-bleeding corpse of the big boss, the blood already spreading to his feet.
Yun Jian held Jin Chen's hand, slowly raised his head, and looked at the increasing number of orcs rushing towards the door after hearing the noise.
Those were the managers and elites of other areas of the underground arena, and even a few high-ranking orcs who rarely showed themselves.
Yun Jian looked at them and said, "According to the rules, I should be sitting in this position."
The room was deathly silent.
There is indeed an unwritten rule in the underground arena: the winner takes all, and the strong are respected.
The big boss died, in the most bloody way that happens during the transition between old and new power.
And the man who killed him stood there, proclaiming his victory and takeover.
No one expected that the one who killed the big boss would be a rabbit-beastman.
A herbivorous, seemingly gentle and harmless rabbit-beastman.
The silence lasted for a good ten seconds.
