Chapter 19: Deception

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Jin Yuchen’s voice fell, his hand had already reached into Nero’s head.

Nero’s flame was extinguished. He didn’t even have the chance to say that it was impossible.

With Nero’s death, the giant bone tower in the air collapsed. A large amount of lava was divided into two parts. One part returned to the lava river, and the other turned into a meteor and fell on Rome.

Pieces of charred bones, shattered bones, and golden lava fell onto Rome Inverted.

“Nero, you are a great artist now to be able to do this.”

Jin Yuchen deactivated the God-Summoning state and touched the coin in his hand, feeling the remaining heat.

Nero’s most precious treasure—the Nero Gold Coin.

At that moment, Bruny and the others outside the city subconsciously touched where they had placed their gold coins.

Aboveground, many people who held gold coins also felt they had lost something.

The tickets had disappeared.

‘Fortunately, it has the ability to control flesh and blood. Otherwise, my injuries would be really troublesome.’

Jin Yuchen activated Nero’s ability to control his body and stop the blood from flowing out. At the same time, he corrected his bones.

Although Nero had led an army before, it was just to gain experience, and he had no combat experience.

It was far inferior to the skeletal gladiators in the arena.

Therefore, he would only smash and destroy things like an alcoholic father when he was hurt.

Ordinary people would be frightened by this crazy behavior, but to Jin Yuchen, who had rich combat experience, it was a joke.

Humans stood at the top of the wild beasts because of their wisdom.

Nero’s most difficult part was his ability, but it was also his weakness. He believed in his own ability too much, to the point of conceit.

Jin Yuchen’s surprise attack failed to defeat Nero, which made him react and activate his ability. In fact, Nero was in an invincible position.

However, he was too proud of his own abilities to pull the distance between him and Jin Yuchen.

Jin Yuchen had missed the signal. The rebellion of their bones would have paralyzed a normal person, but he could force his muscles to move in his God-Summoning state, which was why he had launched such a surprise attack.

What Jin Yuchen did was bet that Nero would come to him if he didn’t kill him in an instant. After all, he had no power to move at that time.

Given Nero’s personality, he would not let go of such an opportunity. He had a high chance of winning.

Even if he lost, Jin Yuchen would admit defeat. After all, it was impossible for a person to control the entire situation.

Just as Jin Yuchen was concluding the battle, a gun was pointed at his head.

“Don’t move, virgin boy.”

Jin Yuchen raised his head and looked at Vera with his remaining eye.

“Hi, we meet again, Miss Cigarette.”

Vera looked angry and said, “Stop acting stupid! You must know me!”

Just as Jin Yuchen was about to say something, he heard a loud bang. His right arm was shot.

“I said, don’t move.”

Vera’s eyes were dangerous.

“This is just a small punishment. I’ll shoot your head if your answer doesn’t satisfy me.”

Jin Yuchen felt helpless. He had paid too much to deal with Nero in a short time.

It was true that a gun could take him out now, but he did not expect Vera to still dare to step forward after seeing the scene just now.

She had her own merits for being able to stay in McRae Corp. until the end of the Great Tombs Era.

“Okay, okay, okay, Miss Vera,” he said helplessly. “Just ask whatever you want. I promise I won’t move.”

Vera’s expression did not change. She carefully observed Jin Yuchen for any signs of battle intent and asked, “Who are you? How do you know me?”

Jin Yuchen didn’t feel like a prisoner at all. Instead, he said casually, “In order to prevent Miss Vera from shooting randomly, before I answer this question, I would like to ask you a question.”

Vera fell silent for a moment. “Go ahead,” she said.

“Miss Vera, do you know about reincarnation?”

Vera replied, “I know. I know about your eastern beliefs.”

“That’s good. The rest is much easier to discuss.” Jin Yuchen lied without changing his expression.

“Actually, I’ve been having a dream that confused me. Later, I went to the temple to dispel the dream, and I found out that it was a memory of my previous life.”

Vera fired another shot at Jin Yuchen. This time, Jin Yuchen’s intestines were about to burst out.

“Don’t try to fool me! If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely give you a hole in your head!”

Jin Yuchen took a deep breath. It was not because he could not bear the pain but because he was pretending to be in pain so that Vera would let her guard down.

This woman had fallen into his trap.

All of McRae Corp.’s official employees had mental problems, big and small, and Vera was no exception.

Her problem was that she was more emotional.

When ordinary people got emotional, they had a bottom line, and that was not to endanger their lives.

People who committed suicide or made sacrifices of their own accord would only do things that went against their instincts due to the emotional influence of years.

However, Vera was different. As long as her emotions were triggered, she could give up her life at any time. The priority of satisfying her emotions had long surpassed her instincts.

This was also the reason she had taken the initiative to hunt down Jin Yuchen with the cyborgs.

As for whether the mission was a trap or not, she didn’t care about the risk.

She would not hesitate to kill Jin Yuchen if she had the intention to do so. The fact that she did not kill Jin Yuchen at once meant that her curiosity had won.

Jin Yuchen had read Vera’s mind through this spear attack.

‘This woman must be extremely curious right now. She must believe most of my lies! Then I’ll just keep making up things.’

“If Miss Vera doesn’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do,” Jin Yuchen said innocently. “I can’t risk my life, can I?”

Vera did not say anything, so Jin Yuchen continued. “In my memories of my previous life, I actually had a lover. Her name was Vera.”

“You motherf *cker! You’re playing with me!” Vera wanted to shoot Jin Yuchen in the head right now, but she couldn’t do it.

“I’m not joking,” Jin Yuchen said innocently. “I’m just saying that my wife in my previous life was called Vera. It might not be you.

“I remember my wife Vera telling me that she was born into a single-parent family and lived in an RV on the outskirts of New York.

“Her mother worked hard, supporting her by working as a waitress and receiving church relief. She had a few boyfriends occasionally, but none of them married her.

“One of her boyfriends even left her mother a child. From then on, she had a younger sister.

“Her name was Louise.

“They didn’t have a good relationship when they were young. Vera thought that her sister had stolen her toy, so she often punished her in a corner where her mother couldn’t see.”

When Vera heard this, the veins on the hand holding the gun popped out. “Shut up! Our relationship is very good!”

Jin Yuchen raised his hand and stared at Vera.
