Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Alix met his chilled black eyes. She felt his arm firmly wrapped around her waist that left her unable to move much.

"Let go of her, you bastard!" Yuze's anger was through the roof.

Jin lowered his gaze, frost further forming on his expression seeing her ankle forcibly locked into his grasp. Taking a deep breath, he jabbed his boot upon his wrist until a vicious cracking resonated in the air.

"Ahhh fuckkk!!"

His fingers naturally loosened and Alix could finally release her foot but Yuze couldn't free his hand.

"Get the fuck off me!"

Jin only increased the pressure further that forced him to feel dizzy with pain. As he looked back at Alix, his gaze fell on her neck where he could see fine prints of somebody's fingers casting a red hue. The fury he felt was unspeakable at that point by just imagining that he had strangled Alix.

Yuze finally felt relief as his hand was now free from under Jin's foot's hold. His gaze darkened seeing the shoe marks on the back of his hand and a bone that almost dangled inside his skin.

"I will fucking kill-"

A punch broke his nose first. Then it hit his cheek and jaw in rapid succession. Yuze fell back with pain coursing all across his body. Blood oozed from his face. A lump of his hair was then grabbed mercilessly that brought him face-to-face with the devil itself.

"You have no idea how much you are going to suffer, do you?" Jin's clenched fist trembled with rage.

Yuze's body ached everywhere, yet he chuckled with ragged and broken breaths.

"You think you have won, huh? You think…" Blood dripped down from his nose towards his lips, "your love story is all tied up with a neat bow to it, right? But there is no way that will happen, Liu Jin. You are a fucking bastard and Alix…will be never be yours. You think I am afraid of you?"

A cold smile stretched Jin's lips.

"I don't care if you are not afraid of me right now. Soon, you will be. It is inevitable once you see what the underworld actually holds for people like you. That is what I am saying. You have no idea what you have just walked into. I have broken crazier people than you in there. You like to play with poisons, right? I would love to experiment how far your body would handle them."

He threw another violent kick to his chest that made him spew blood.

Seeing him displaced, Jin now turned his attention towards Alix. His blood pressure spiked with her neck becoming redder and redder.

"And this is why I told you not to wander alone by yourself!" He glared, his breaths becoming heavier.

He didn't wish to scold or rebuke her but seeing her in this state had flipped his worrisome switch.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Alix pressed her lips. "How did you find me?"

His jaw dropped, dumbfounded. "That is your concern?"

"I was fine really. I kicked him in his balls and he dropped like a broken kite."

Jin threw her a blank stare and then looked at Yuze writhing in pain. Part of his relief measures were also directed at his forbidden area.

She is crueler than me…

"Pot calling the kettle black?" She grimaced.

"What?"

"I can read your mind. I know all kinds of torture methods you might be planning so don't act innocent as if I am a monster. But how did you find me?"

He gritted his teeth and showed her his phone with the last call to Chyou.

But I told her not to leak my location to Jin! her gaze darkened.

He sneered. "She is closer to me than you so yes she will listen to me first. But you! You never listen to me!"

His hand instinctively reached out, his fingertips gently grazing against the redness. A faint hissing sound escaped his lips as if it was his neck that was hurt instead of hers. The anger from his eyes had now melted into worry.

"I will take you to the hospital right away."

"No need," her eyes widened. "I am still alive and kicking."

"Don't talk like that!"

She frowned. "Why not? I can joke about my life and death-"

"No, you cannot," his voice icier. "Life, yes but not death."

She folded her arms. "Why?"

He paused, unable to understand his turmultous heart.

"...Isn't it generally an untouchable subject?"

She smiled. "Not for me. Not for a long time now."

"Ahh!"

Mui's shriek snapped their attention and they saw Yuze's arm strangling around her neck and his other right hand held a base that could land on her head at any time.

"L-Leave me!" She cried.

Jin's eyes squinted. "That is utterly pointless, Kang Yuze. Let her go."

Yuze's pressed even more harshly. "Shut up!"

Alix said, "So now you are going to resort to this?"

He sneered. "I can resort to anything, Alix. So don't you or Liu Jin dare move if you don't want her head smashed into a pulp."

Mui's face turned white.

"Or maybe I should anyway? She will also go through the experience firsthand when you had hit your head after falling from the stairs."

Yuze didn't see them move an inch and he forcibly dragged Mui outside.

"Sis, s-sis please help me…"

"Don't resist if you don't want to end up in a coma like me. Just do as he says."

Her face palette paled further.

"Stop yapping!"

Yuze pushed her out by hitting the corner of the vase against her temple. He forced her to walk faster amidst the acute pain on his face and between his thighs.

"Forget it, Mui. Your sister won't be that stupid to help you after what you did to her. Your hands are equally smudged with blood like mine so now only we can rely on each other," he sneered.

"Let me go…" Mui burst into tears.

"Shut the fuck up!"

Yuze angrily banged the staircase door open. More than the elevator, he felt it was safer to climb down the lower floors to exit. But as soon as he made his way towards the last floor's stairs, the door opened at the same time and he came face-to-face with a woman he knew all too well.

"Shui…"
