Chapter 631 No Intersection
Chapter 631 No Intersection
"I hope Dr. Tom will not mind that I came uninvited."
"Since you know you've come uninvited, you should have some self-awareness and understand that you're not welcome here."
Dr. Tom never expected that Jiang Nian would actually show up at his villa.
He knew that the snipers he had sent had failed, and that they had all been executed.
But how did Jiang Nian know all of this?
Dr. Tom did not believe that Jiang Nian had simply walked into his villa.
After all, he and Jiang Nian had no interaction at all when they were at the base.
"Not welcome me? Dr. Tom must be mistaken. I think you should be very welcoming to me right now."
Jiang Nian smiled faintly.
He dared to poison himself, yet he can still say such things so nonchalantly. It has to be said, Dr. Tom's skin is incredibly thick.
"Why should I welcome you? Jiang Nian, I don't recall ever having any dealings with you. Please, now, immediately, leave my territory. Otherwise, I'll have to be very rude to you."
Jiang Nian's nonchalant attitude made Dr. Tom very uncomfortable. This was clearly his territory, yet Jiang Nian acted as if it were his own domain—how could anyone feel comfortable with that?
Could it be that Jiang Nian has already breached the dwarf chef's side, and Jiang Nian came to settle scores with him?
Thinking about this, even a shrewd old fox like Dr. Tom felt a little nervous.
Jiang Nian's background is somewhat different. At the very least, Dr. Tom doesn't know much about Jiang Nian. He only knows that Jiang Nian is a researcher who was brought back by the three powerful figures and is being paid very high salaries.
After Jiang Nian modified the latest sniper rifle from Country Y, Dr. Tom set his sights on him.
If such a talent is developed, he will likely surpass me in status within the organization very quickly.
This was something Dr. Tom absolutely could not tolerate. But he was also unwilling to give up such a talented person, which was why he planned to use poison to completely control him. As long as Jiang Nian was under his control, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't be able to escape his grasp.
"You're welcome? I wonder how much more impolite Dr. Tom is going to be? Are you going to use my modified sniper rifle to send someone to attack me?"
Jiang Nian tossed the magazine onto the coffee table in front of him and said with a cold laugh.
This Dr. Tom may have a high status in the Shadow Organization, but what does that have to do with me?
Since the other party dared to attack me, if I were to hide, wouldn't I be just like a mouse that runs away from a cat?
Are you kidding me?
Jiang Nian said that it was already merciful of him not to kill the other party directly.
Dr. Tom's brow twitched violently when he saw the magazine lying on the table.
He glared fiercely at the sniper lying on the ground, who was completely dead—damn guy, he couldn't even handle this little thing properly, and Jiang Nian actually caught him red-handed.
"What do you want?"
Dr. Tom calmed down. He concluded that since Jiang Nian had come alone and so openly took out the magazine, he must intend to settle things privately.
What do I want?
Repeating Dr. Tom's words, Jiang Nian sneered, "How about I plant the Heart-Eating Gu in you?"
Has someone like Dr. Tom completely lost his mind? After doing something like this to himself, does he still think he can cover it up?
"you--"
Dr. Tom pointed at Jiang Nian, but couldn't say a word.
With a loud "bang," the person who had been guarding Dr. Tom suddenly moved. He leaped up and pounced on Jiang Nian.
"Don't be rude to the Doctor!"
He roared at Jiang Nian in a stern tone, and at the same time threw a punch.
Faced with this person's attack, Jiang Nian didn't even lift her eyelids, but simply raised her foot and kicked the man's fist.
Even though Jiang Nian only raised one foot, Jerris felt as if he had hit a solid iron plate. He was so shocked that he took a step back, pushing the coffee table quite a bit towards Dr. Tom.
In the instant Jerris froze, Jiang Nian stood up and kicked Jerris hard in the chest.
By the time Jerris realized what was happening, it was too late. He fell backward and crashed onto the coffee table with a loud thud.
This turn of events was completely unexpected by Dr. Tom. This was the first time Jerris had run into a brick wall. Dr. Tom had already stood up and moved to another spot before Jerris fell; otherwise, Jerris's head would have hit him.
While Jerris was unable to get up, Jiang Nian stepped forward and stomped on Jerris.
"Crack—" That was the sound of a rib being broken.
Jerris's face turned deathly pale instantly, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead. He couldn't help but cry out.
How could a single rib possibly satisfy Jiang Nian?
Seeing that Dr. Tom's expression wasn't much better, Jiang Nian's lips curled into a smile, and then he broke another bone on Jerry's foot.
"what--"
Jerris's screams nearly blew the roof off.
"Jiang Nian, Jerris is one of my men. Are you trying to break ties with me by doing this?"
Hearing Jerris's screams, Dr. Tom finally couldn't hold back any longer.
After all, he had been a subordinate who had followed him for many years, and he couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Nian abuse Jerry.
More importantly, Jerris's screams would unconsciously remind Dr. Tom of himself—after Jiang Nian dealt with Jerris, would he turn on him?
Dr. Tom felt incredibly guilty after saying those words. He had almost forgotten what Jiang Nian had said earlier.
Jiang Nian said he was going to use the Heart-Eating Gu on himself.
"Tear off the mask of civility? Dr. Tom, I thought you didn't even have a mask of civility."
Jiang Nian smiled.
Dr. Tom thinks way too highly of himself.
From the very beginning, Jiang Nian had no intention of having a proper talk with him.
Jerry was no longer capable of fighting. Jiang Nian turned around and walked step by step towards Dr. Tom.
For every step he took, Dr. Tom took a step back.
Jiang Nian was wearing boots, and the sound of his footsteps on the floor was as if he were stepping on Dr. Tom's body.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"Dr. Tom asked, his voice trembling."
If Jerris's tragic state hadn't happened in front of him, he might not have taken Jiang Nian seriously. But he watched with his own eyes as Jiang Nian broke Jerris's bones step by step.
Even if we send Jerry to the hospital now, once his broken bones are set, he will never be able to recover to his former state.
Moreover, judging from Jiang Nian's attitude, he had no intention of giving Jerry a chance to be treated at all.
"What do I want to do? Dr. Tom, don't you really know?"
Jiang Nian suddenly burst into laughter.
Dr. Tom is such a smart man, so why did he suddenly become so confused at a time like this?
"I...I don't know!"
Dr. Tom plopped down on the floor; he genuinely had no idea. *Thud—*
Jiang Nian slapped Dr. Tom hard across the face.
He didn't hold back at all, so Dr. Tom's right cheek quickly swelled up, and five finger marks were clearly imprinted on it.
Dr. Tom was completely stunned by Jiang Nian's slap.
He never expected that Jiang Nian would actually dare to attack him.
"Jiang Nian, you...you actually dared to hit me? I'm going to find the people in power and have them punish you!"
Dr. Tom finally couldn't hold back any longer. Even though he was sitting on the ground, he started fumbling for his phone in his pocket. He needed to contact the leader of the Shadow Organization immediately.
He had never been beaten like this before! Even the most powerful people were always very polite to Dr. Tom, and dared not say a harsh word to him.
"Snapped--"
No sooner had Dr. Tom finished speaking than Jiang Nian slapped him across the face without any hesitation, before he could even touch his phone.
Now, Dr. Tom's cheeks are symmetrical.
"You...I'll have the person in power kill you!"
Unexpectedly, he was slapped again. Covering his throbbing cheek, Dr. Tom gritted his teeth and said.
"Jiang Nian, you'd better not fall into my hands, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Snapped--"
"I don't think Dr. Tom's face hurts at all; he can still talk so fluently!"
As he spoke, Jiang Nian slapped Dr. Tom across the face twice more.
This time, Dr. Tom's lip was cut, and blood slowly seeped out.
He was still cursing, but no sound came out; Dr. Tom was in excruciating pain.
Jiang Nian casually pulled over a single sofa and sat down leisurely in front of Dr. Tom.
Seeing Dr. Tom sitting on the ground, covering his cheek, cursing incessantly, and glaring at him fiercely, Jiang Nian's smile widened.
"Since Dr. Tom is so energetic, how about we play a game?"
It sounded like a discussion, but it carried an air of absolute authority.
At that moment, in Dr. Tom's eyes, the smile on Jiang Nian's face was like the smile of a devil.
He regretted it, regretted attacking Jiang Nian at this time. At the very least, if he wanted to attack Jiang Nian, he shouldn't have been in the same place as her.
Jiang Nian is a complete madman.
"Host, this system has detected that Dr. Tom called you a madman."
The system suddenly appeared and left this message.
Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow slightly.
"So, in Dr. Tom's eyes, I'm a madman."
Jiang Nian spoke slowly and deliberately, a glass rod appearing in his hand at some point.
This glass rod was originally a small craft item placed on the coffee table, but now in Jiang Nian's hands, it seems to have become a handy tool.
Upon hearing Jiang Nian's words, Dr. Tom's heart tightened, and his gaze towards Jiang Nian was filled with terror. Was he a devil? Otherwise, how could he know what he was thinking?
"Judging from your expression, it turns out that in your heart I really am a madman."
In Jiang Nian's other hand, there was a flamethrower.
That's one of the advantages of what the system provides; you don't have to worry about running out of gas.
The blowtorch heated the glass rod, and the tip of the glass rod began to glow red and slowly melt.
When the tip of the glass rod had completely melted and turned into a red, semi-fluid liquid, Jiang Nian pressed the scalding tip hard against Dr. Tom's thigh.
"what--"
The piercing screams nearly lifted the roof off.
Dr. Tom was in excruciating pain.
He tried to cover his thigh, but Jiang Nian's indifferent, expressionless gaze remained fixed on him. In Jiang Nian's hand, the flamethrower was still burning the glass rod.
Dr. Tom curled up and rolled on the ground.
This was the most embarrassing moment of his life.
The pain prevented him from uttering a complete sentence other than screams.
Jiang Nian looked at Dr. Tom rolling on the ground with satisfaction, his eyes dark and devoid of any sympathy.
Since the other party dared to attack him, Jiang Nian would show no mercy.
Dr. Tom didn't know how long he had been rolling on the ground, but he felt completely numb.
My whole body was soaked in cold sweat from the pain, and I could no longer see the vigor I had when I first arrived.
"You... if you have the guts, then kill me!"
Dr. Tom glared fiercely at Jiang Nian, knowing that Jiang Nian wouldn't kill him, but would only torture him like this.
He secretly vowed in his heart that as long as he lived, he would never let Jiang Nian go.
"Kill you? That won't do. You're a key researcher in the organization, and they're counting on you to develop even more powerful weapons. Letting you die like this would be too good for you."
Just kidding, what Jiang Nian wants is for the entire Shadow Organization to serve China. Dr. Tom may not be the best person, but he's quite capable; that alone is enough to keep him from dying. As for his current disobedience, that's easy to handle.
For disobedient people, just teach them a few times until they feel fear from the bottom of their hearts and learn to submit.
Hearing Jiang Nian say this, Dr. Tom breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't die, he had a chance to turn things around. He would repay the humiliation Jiang Nian had brought him today tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.
"Looks like I haven't taught you a lesson enough; you still have the energy to threaten me."
Jiang Nian had to admit that someone like Dr. Tom was exceptionally vengeful.
If I don't tame him today, I'll have another enemy in the future.
If Jiang Nian hadn't felt it would be too much of a waste to just kill him, he wouldn't have bothered with this dog-training thing.
Dr. Tom was stunned by Jiang Nian's words. How... how was he going to torture himself again?
While Dr. Tom was still pondering this, Jiang Nian suddenly made a move.
"I think this flamethrower is pretty good, and the glass rod craft you prepared yourself is even better."
Molten glass dripped heavily onto Dr. Tom's thigh once again, but this time it was on the other leg.
Jiang Nian's only regret was that the flamethrower could only melt a very short section of the glass rod each time; otherwise, he would have tamed Dr. Tom long ago.
However, there's still plenty of time, so he's not in a hurry at all.
Dr. Tom couldn't remember how much time had passed.
Just when he thought the torture was about to end, Jiang Nian would press the molten glass onto his body again. (End of Chapter)
