Heaven's Shadow - Chapter 143: Promise

...[Inside an underground basement]“You are going to die for nothing, hahahaha,” the old man's voice thundered through the room, sending chills down my spine.Step.With a swift and ruthless motion, he lunged forward, his sword slicing through the air and slashing my throat, crimson droplets staining the darkness.“We'll see,” I whispered defiantly, my final words escaping as a mere breath against the impending darkness.Slowly, inexorably, my consciousness slipped away, and I descended into a deep, unfathomable slumber.“Huh!?” My eyes fluttered open, and I found myself seated in a bustling tavern, the air thick with laughter and the clinking of glasses.In front of me stood a captivating lady, her beauty juxtaposed with an angry furrow upon her brow, threatening to shatter the harmony of the jovial scene.“Don't follow me around!” Her words pierced the air like shards of ice, the intensity of her emotions palpable as she cast a resentful glare in my direction, before swiftly departing from the tavern....Am I trapped within the confines of a game? The fragments of my shattered common sense scattered before me, leaving me to question the very fabric of my reality.

(Playful, cute and naive young lady x gentle and abstinent financial giant)

Nan Ge has been wanting to replace his Lamborghini recently, but he is short of tens of thousands of yuan. Under her hard work, her brother found her a good job with a sense of mission—Galaxy Stomach Guard Team, referred to as food delivery.

On the first day of work, she was physically and mentally strong all the way, and delivered the takeaway to Shen Yanqing, a boss in the wealthy district.

——

Shen Yanqing, a myth in the business world of Huai City, is a low-key person. Those who have worked with him all say that he is a cold banished fairy with a gentle skin. He seems gentle and polite, but in fact he is very unfeeling.

Once by accident, Shen Yanqing met a little girl he liked very much. He thought it would be difficult to see each other again, until he ordered a takeaway on a snowy day, the door opened, and a familiar figure stood at the door:

“Mr. Shen, good evening, I am the takeaway staff of irelyn restaurant, I wish you a pleasant meal!”

Shen Yanqing thought that Nan Ge was a poor little work-study student, and since then, she has been taking care of her work. Until one day his car broke down and he had to go out temporarily——

Nan Ge heard that he was in a hurry: “I have a car!”

When Shen Yanqing was still hesitating how to reject her little electric donkey that was leaking from all directions, she turned around and saw her take out the car key and press it lightly.

Not far away, the lights of a Lamborghini worth three million flashed:

“Why are you standing there, get in the car!”

“…”

(Introduction in one sentence: I drove a Lamborghini to experience life, and I loved me so much after I was the master of self-raiding ￣▽￣)

have you heard of it?

If you turn on the music player in the dead of night, put on headphones, hide your head in the quilt, and listen to the looped single repeatedly.

Fall asleep after looping forty-four times. If you are unlucky and open your eyes again, you will no longer be lying on your own bed, but will enter a strange space that is completely isolated from reality.

That space… On the surface, it looks like the places we usually see, such as our bedroom, living room at home, underground garage, bathroom, basketball court, construction site, etc. But if you look closely, you will find that it is different. …Everything is different.

====

This is the experience of an ordinary person who, after acquiring superpowers, transforms and grows step by step in a blind corner, reaching the ultimate level.
