Being completely overwheld by both power and wits, Vanessa was truly defeated.
She couldn't grasp how powerful Shi Tian was, but just the fact that he decided to expose her bluff now proved sothing.
It ant that he was confident in detaining her if she was to attack him, and as for wits, she really had to praise him.
"Just kill . I would rather die than be humiliated." Vanessa finally said after a mont of silence. She could only bla her horrendous luck to encounter him after being severely injured by the people of White Syndicate.
anwhile, Shi Tian raised his eyebrow in confusion and tilted his head slightly.
"You are injured, but I didn't think your brain was injured as well. If I wanted to kill you from the start, then why would I even bother treating your wounds?" Shi Tian asked in disbelief.
"Hah, then what do you want from ? My body?" Vanessa snorted coldly.
9 out of 10 n she had encountered were lustful people that wished to obtain her body for sexual pleasure.
After all, she was a great beauty with an alluring charm around her that even if she didn't put any make-up on, n would still fall for her.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested in having a mont of pleasure when I could have sothing more practical." Shi Tian raised his hand and said in an upright manner.
Alas, Vanessa no longer believed a single word that ca out of his mouth.
Being fooled once could be counted as her fault for underestimating her opponent. But being fooled twice by the sa person, then she might as well jump down a well and commit suicide.
"It seems like you have been traumatized by ." Shi Tian chuckled softly when he saw how wary she was. If only she knew that he couldn't subdue her easily if they were to truly fight.
"I'm not traumatized, but rely allergic to hypocrites and heartless bastards like you." Vanessa seed to be grinding her teeth when she said that.
When had she ever received such humiliation and treatnt from others before?
"Alright, enough with bastard this and bastard that. If I was truly a bastard, then do you think you could still be barking like a mad dog here?" Shi Tian asked, smacking her with a reality check.
He might have seed heartless and cold, but that was a necessary trait to survive. No soft-hearted or kind-hearted fool would be able to live past 2 days in this world.
A few minutes later, Vanessa's agitated behavior seed to have cald down by a large margin. Although she was rude, Shi Tian didn't bla her because he would have done the sa if their situation was swapped, albeit calr.
Unlike her, Shi Tian had a passive ability that allowed him to remain calm and composed, which was a blessing.
"Alright, now that you're calm, let rephrase my wording from the previous. What I ant is that you owe 8 mid-tier Source Crystals, but I'm not telling you to repay right away." Shi Tian said, acting magnanimously.
Vanessa remained silent and didn't bother to even look at Shi Tian. Since that was the case, Shi Tian took it as her tacit agreent to his statent.
Suddenly, Shi Tian's stomach started growling again, reminding him that he hadn't eaten yet.
And coincidentally, Vanessa's stomach started growling too, except that she beca embarrassed. She was trying to remain silent and ignore Shi Tian, but her stomach sold her out.
"I'm going to head out to buy so food, so just patiently wait here. Otherwise, I won't be responsible if your enemy tracked you down." Shi Tian said, ready to head out.
When Vanessa saw that he already left the room without hesitation, it beca crystal clear that her bluff had really failed miserably.
'Just how did he manage to figure it out?' Vanessa wondered silently.
With Shi Tian gone, only she was left in the house, so she started to inspect her surroundings now that she had this chance to do so.
As her eyes glanced at the furniture, she suddenly detected a miniature cara that was placed in a sneaky corner.
"Damn it, there was a cara in his house. No wonder why I got caught off-guard repeatedly." She gnashed her teeth and was infuriated. Infuriated not at Shi Tian, but at herself for being so careless repeatedly.
Laying back down on the couch, Vanessa held a bitter smile. She was too exhausted to even get angry now, and if she was to be honest, she was afraid she would have gone ntal if she kept thinking about how Shi Tian had played her like a fiddle.
Once the anger was no more, the fatigue finally inflicted upon her, causing her eyes to be drowsy as she went into slumber.
While Vanessa went to sleep, Shi Tian was now back on the street with a new set of clothes, acting as if nothing had happened.
Walking through the street, Shi Tian was trying to find a decent restaurant to order takeout and searching for the latest news in Gearits City.
And sure enough, the incident of Vanessa being attacked wasn't even posted online. In fact, not a single person was talking about the incident, which shocked him deeply.
Although the commotion might not be grand, it should be loud enough to attract so attention. Yet there wasn't a single deploynt, much less a blockade to capture the culprit.
'Could the White Syndicate be that powerful enough to bribe the military or the organization to prevent them from investigating?' Shi Tian thought to himself, feeling perplexed by the situation.
Shaking his head, Shi Tian realized a crucial fact.
What does that have to do with him?
If the military decided to let so criminal syndicate do whatever they want in their city, then it's their problem.
And right now, his hunger was the problem.
Stopping at a restaurant that seed to be filled with people, Shi Tian decided on this place. 'Horology Restaurant… Ti to order so food here.'
