"Your severed toe also needs to be reattached in time, or it may be ruined, and the one cultivated from your own cells can never compare to the original,"
Hearing this, Xia Youyou’s hatred deepened, and her face turned from green to white, then from white to red.
She had already felt the countless mocking eyes around her, how they had mocked He Shu just a moment ago, and now they were mocking her in the same manner.
With that thought, Xia Youyou viciously kicked He Shu in front of her and ordered from her high position, "What are you kneeling there stupidly for? Aren’t you going to fetch my toe back? Remember, be careful with it, hold it in the palm of your hand."
"With those filthy hands of yours, holding my toe is your greatest fortune in three lifetimes."
Lin Fu frowned but, unlike last time, she didn’t immediately come forward to defend.
She wanted to see He Shu’s reaction, if He Shu willingly remained in a submissive posture, then Lin Fu didn’t want to get involved. After all, He Shu’s act of begging for mercy on behalf of Xu Jinglan earlier was utterly disgusting.
Even with goodwill, she didn’t like it.
If He Shu was unwilling, then Lin Fu would protect her just like she had protected Xu Jinglan.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze landed on He Shu.
Ivan stroked his chin with interest, eyes full of anticipation.
"I..." He Shu, crying so hard she hiccuped, looked back at Lin Fu with eyes brimming with hope, stirring a heart-wrenching sympathy.
Her careful and tentative call was filled with a plea to her good friend.
It moved many of the tough men present, gently shaking their resolve.
Some were even ready to stand up for her had their companions not promptly held them back.
Lin Fu was aware of this, and more than that, she spotted many condemning glances in the crowd, seemingly blaming her for her partiality and inaction.
Clearly, He Shu was willing to do more for her friends, yet Lin Fu treated them so unequally, a true disservice to He Shu’s recent sacrifices.
Lin Fu’s brows twitched, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, a dangerous glint passing through them.
"Uuu..." He Shu began to weep in disappointment, tears falling down her cheeks like pearls cut from their string, embodying such heartbreaking desolation, like a child abandoned.
She slowly got up, gently and carefully picked up Xia Youyou’s severed toe, and then, true to Xia Youyou’s command, humbly held it in the palm of her hand.
Step by step, she approached Xia Youyou.
The atmosphere in the hall was peculiar, filled only by Xia Youyou’s triumphant and manic laughter, "Hahaha..."
In her eyes, it was no longer about humiliating He Shu, but about humiliating Lin Fu and Xu Jinglan through He Shu.
As He Shu was their good friend and their proxy.
How could this not be satisfying to her?
The crowd was silent upon realizing this.
Even Ivan and Anton had grim faces, as if they wished they could kill He Shu themselves.
Lin Fu was furious; she finally understood why Xu Jinglan had fainted from anger earlier. She had never been this angry in her two lifetimes combined.
Without a second thought, Lin Fu swung her blade sideways.
A pair of intersecting flashes of cold light passed, and the toe He Shu was holding in her palm had been chopped into bits, not even the bone remained.
He Shu’s hand was also affected by the energy wave, drenched in blood.
Xia Youyou’s laughter came to an abrupt halt.
As if a crowing rooster had its neck suddenly grabbed.
"Ah!" After quite a while, Xia Youyou let out a piercing scream, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
She fainted from anger.
But everyone saw Lin Fu in a different light now, reminding themselves that she was not to be trifled with, someone who took revenge on the spot.
It was best not to provoke her if possible.
The aloof beauty who came with Xia Youyou also showed a hint of wariness in her eyes, regretting coming with Xia Youyou inwardly.
"Guard Team is here. Clear out fast," Anton’s voice broke the silence.
"Damn, it’s Lance. There’s no escape."
"Good luck with that, Twelve."
In an instant, most of the people on the third floor dispersed, but those involved couldn’t leave—and didn’t have a chance to.
Lance walked in with steady steps, his face pale, casting a complicated glance at Lin Fu before he waved his hand, "Take them all away."
