Chapter 305: Fifth Superpower

Jake's expression turned icy, his dark eyes narrowing as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. For a moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"You slapped me?" he repeated, his voice dangerously low.

Xi Ping didn't flinch. She crossed her arms and nodded, standing her ground.

"Yeah, I did. What are you gonna do about it, uncle?" she shot back, her tone defiant.

Jake's jaw tightened, and for a split second, Xi Ping thought she might have pushed him too far.

But then, he laughed—a cold, humorless sound that sent a shiver down her spine.

"Wrong decision," Jake said and suddenly extended his hand. To Xi Ping's horror, his fingers wrapped around her neck.

Xi Ping's heart raced as Jake's grip tightened around her neck. She gasped, trying to suck in air, but it was like her throat was closing up. Her hands clawed at his arm, desperate to break free, but he was too strong.
