Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 - Zhang Wei

[A bar in Xiwang City]

A middle-aged fat man was sitting in the VIP room of the bar. His eyes had red veins popping all over it. From time to time, the man would put something all over the edge of his right finger and put it up to his nose, breathing it in. His eyes were growing red with each passing moment, and he seemed to have lost himself in another world. Suddenly his eyes fell on a group of plain people drinking at the bar. They had two men and three women among their group. The man's eyes fell on the body of a young woman who was calmly drinking, and his eyes betrayed his desire. The man slowly walked up to the group of people who were laughing and talking.

"Chang Bao, do you remember the guy we saw today? He was so scared after what you did that he nearly wet his pants."

The man named Chang Bao smiled and said, "I really didn't do anything." His face and behavior made any person instinctively like him. His neat dress gave one the feeling that he was a businessman. His parted black hair complemented the fact that he was tidy in all his endeavors.

The rest of the group laughed except the woman who was drinking calmly. The group seemed accustomed to this behavior of hers and didn't mind it.

"Jiang Tai, Li Ling, you guys are getting married next month, aren't you?", said a woman who looked normal. Though the shape of her body was good, it wasn't as perfect as the calm woman's.

"Xiulin, how do you know about that?", another woman blushed red at this moment and asked.

"Heh, heh. Trade secrets.", said the woman called Yang Xiulin, winking at the blushing red woman called Li Ling.

Chang Bao suddenly asked, "Wait, then you guys are-?".

The man and the woman called Jing Tai and Li Ling, whose faces were red, simply extended their left and right hands respectively. A ring was present there on both of their ring fingers.

The calm woman who didn't speak till now suddenly said, "Congrats."

The man and the woman were being teased by the group when the fat man approached the table. The fat man looked at the calm woman and suddenly said, "Hey beauty, how much for a night?"

The group suddenly went quiet. The man named Jiang Tai stood up and said, "Get out of here. I'm warning you. Don't come here again or..." The hint of a threat was present in his words.

"Kid, fu*k off. I'm talking to the woman."

"Fine then," said Jiang Tai.

The group didn't watch them anymore and continued their conversation. The fat man, even though he was under the influence of drugs, was surprised that they gave up. Usually, a small fight would take place until the man called his bodyguards. This didn't happen today. The fat man smiled. He thought that his luck was growing bigger every day.

The calm woman raised her head and looked at the fat man. It was then the fat man saw it. Her face was beautiful. It was by far the most beautiful face he had seen. Then suddenly, as if waking up from a nightmare, he saw that her face was disfigured on the right side. There were many scars randomly placed there. The man felt like vomiting. It was like finding a diamond only to realize that it was fake.

"So, you asked me how much it was for one night, didn't you?", the woman slowly placed a glass of wine she was sipping and said.

"No.. I..", the fat man struggled to find words. His instinct warned him that he shouldn't have messed with this woman.

POW!

THUD!

The two sounds occurred almost simultaneously. Everyone in the bar saw an amazing scene. The calm woman that they had seen until now had disappeared. In it's place, a demon seemed to have come.

The woman slowly came up to the fat man and stepped on his leg.

CRACK!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! FU*K YOU, B*TCH. YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I-"

"Actually, I do know it, Mr. Hu Shen. You're under arrest for trying to force prostitution as well as for taking banned substances in a way that could harm people around you."

Everyone in the group of that woman stood up. The five people took out a shiny badge that was red, golden and blue indicating that they were-

"Cops."

The bar owner was shaking. His bar had done many drug businesses and this was the first time in 12 years that he had been caught unawares.

The man named Jiang Tai then sighed and said to the crying fat man, "Remember what I told you? You should've listened to me. At least then, your bone wouldn't have been broken. I was trying to help you get in safely, you fu*king idiot."

"Zhang Wei did it again", said a smiling Chang Bao.

The rest of the group laughed at this comment by him.

Soon, many police cars arrived at the scene. Many people in the bar was suspected of taking and supplying drugs. Among countless stares, the five of them talked and laughed as if nothing had happened.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. It was a small case. Nothing much.", the woman called Zhang Wei repeatedly said this.

"I heard that my baby girl broke his legs? I knew I shouldn't have let you serve in the military," said a stern yet caring voice of a mother coming through the phone.

"Well, she's my kid after all. Can't say that my genes aren't in her." said another voice coming out of the phone. This was her father, Zhang Yong and the person who spoke before was called Lin Qixian.

"Shut up, old man. It's because of my genes that she's like this."

"But I want to talk too."

"Did you finish signing and checking the contract? You didn't, did you? So go ahead and do it."

Zhang Wei smiled. Her father and mother always fought but she knew that they both loved each other too much.

"Why did you call me, Mom?"

"It's about your marriage."

"FU*K."

"Wei'er, don't swear. You're at least twenty years old now and you need to settle down someday. You haven't found anyone else. So, I know that you don't want it, but you need to find someone who will always stand by you. If you don't have someone like that, sooner or later you'll go crazy. I'll give you one month, Wei'er and I hope that you'll be able to find someone whom you like within that time."

"Mom, but I-"

"No excuses this time, Wei'er. You have to find someone who always be with you. If a man doesn't like you just cause of a small scar on your face, then dump him. You'll need to-"

"GOODBYE, MOM!"

Zhang Wei's face had turned dark to the point where everyone in police station had seen it. They had been working with her for a long time and knew that something bad had happened. Knowing her behavior, she would tell them when it was time.

[An building under construction in Xiwang City]

It was nighttime. All the workers were going home. No one noticed a black shadow enter the building. No one noticed him going up to the topmost floor.

After reaching the top of the building, Ye Chen looked at the sub-mission given by the system.

{DING! Host has to let go of his fear. Create a moment when the host will feel adrenaline pumping through his veins (No time limit). Sub-Mission reward:- "Become the wind" skill (Stealth and parkour). Host has to learn to summon the dark blade with his mind (No time limit). Sub-Mission reward:- "Dark Blade Summon." (Host will be able to summon the katana without extra will).}

Ye Chen took a few breaths and backed up. After all, this was the first time the system had given him two missions at once. He looked up at the starry sky and began to run.

[A street near where the abandoned building is]

Zhang Wei remembered her mother's phone call and sighed. She looked upwards. What she saw was an astonishing sight.

There was a person flying..., no he was falling. She blinked and rubbed her eyes. The person was still there. It was too dark and far away to see what or who it was, but she was sure that this person was going to die. She stood there without knowing what to do.

Suddenly, in the figure's hands, as he was falling down, a blade appeared and everything, including the figure, disappeared.

>13.7 billion years ago in a dark void<

An young and beautiful girl was sitting there. In the entire void, there was a single point of light. After a few seconds, everything exploded and many colors of light flew out of the small light, forming clusters and groups until the entire void was lit up. The young girl watched as she sighed and said, "Fu*k, I've been watching replays of this for an eternity. When the he*k is someone going to find me? Should've listened when the old man said that crossing time-space will create loop fields."

She yawned, and then, she fell asleep.
