Chapter 7: Son, What Did You Say?
Chapter 7: Son, What Did You Say?
After wiping his hands, Jiang Tian stared at Feng Xingyu for a while, then slowly extinguished the red flames surrounding his body.
The other party's breath was weak. He was gradually fading, his vitality slipping away.
It seemed that losing his divine arm had caused severe damage to his body, making it difficult for him to continue.
He was going to die. There was no need to do anything else.
After stopping the burning of the flesh furnace, Jiang Tian burped in Feng Xingyu's direction.
Hearing the sound, Feng Xingyu, who was lying on the ground, turned so red with anger that blood spilled from his mouth.
But he was powerless.
At that moment, he suddenly saw Jiang Tian reaching into his pocket, as if searching for something.
Then, he saw him take out his phone and point it at his face.
---
Beep.
Face unlock successful.
---
"What are you doing?"
Feng Xingyu had thought Jiang Tian would take this opportunity to finish him off immediately.
But he never expected him to suddenly take out his phone.
Then, Feng Xingyu understood something.
He sneered, "You want to get organization secrets from my phone? Impossible..."
"The moment an operation begins, all information is automatically deleted to prevent leaks in case of failure."
"Besides, I'm about to die. There's no way you'll pry any secrets out of me. You—"
Here, Feng Xingyu kept talking, but he noticed that there was no disappointment on Jiang Tian's face.
Instead, Jiang Tian grabbed his hand.
---
Beep!
Another sound came.
Jiang Tian stared at the phone screen with a frown, then muttered, "Why do I have to unlock it twice? So annoying."
Then, he turned the phone towards Feng Xingyu again.
---
Swish!
At that moment, Feng Xingyu finally saw what was on the phone screen.
---
"Facial payment successful."
---
He was completely confused.
Jiang Tian had been fiddling with the phone all this time—
Just to transfer money?!
---
"What… what are you doing?"
Feng Xingyu couldn't help but ask.
The actions of the person in front of him were too bizarre to understand.
---
Jiang Tian looked at him calmly.
"What else?"
"You evil scum from Starry Sky Gate cheated me out of my tuition."
"Shouldn't I take back what's mine?"
---
He pointed to his torn, bloodstained school uniform and continued,
"You ruined my clothes and wasted my time. Shouldn't you compensate me?"
"Besides, your plans and organization secrets—"
Jiang Tian shrugged,
"Those are problems for the patrol officers to worry about."
---
"What does any of this have to do with a student like me?"
---
Feng Xingyu stared in disbelief.
Tuition?!
After thwarting their operation and slaughtering his people, this is what he was thinking about?!
---
A student?
He still remembers he's a student?!
---
After Jiang Tian was done, he stood up and—under Feng Xingyu's dying gaze—began looting the pockets of every dead Starry Sky Gate member.
---
Unlock with face scan.
Transfer the money.
---
Watching Jiang Tian's actions, Feng Xingyu felt his vision darken.
He was already on the verge of death.
Now, he was so furious that he felt like he would die a second time.
---
And on Jiang Tian's side—
Not only had he retrieved his tuition,
But he also claimed compensation for damaged clothes, wasted time, and mental distress—
Totaling 793,145.86 yuan.
---
"Huh?"
Jiang Tian checked the time on his phone and suddenly froze.
Then—
He ran out of the factory.
---
He had originally planned to wait for the patrol officers,
After all, there was a reward for eliminating Starry Sky Gate criminals.
But—
"Damn, it's getting late!"
If he got home too late, his parents would worry.
And in his current state,
If they saw him like this, they would definitely freak out.
---
Before leaving, Jiang Tian turned back, picked up Feng Xingyu's phone, and left a message in the memo.
Then, he threw away his blood-soaked school uniform, stripped a dead man's clean clothes, packed his backpack, and rushed home.
---
With a huge sum of money in his pocket,
Jiang Tian took a taxi, winding through the city streets before finally reaching his neighborhood.
---
As he stepped out, what came into view were rows of high-rise residential buildings.
Each 50 stories tall, each floor housing 60 apartments—cramped and crowded.
Since the Space-Time Disaster, many cities had fallen, and land became scarce.
For ordinary families like his, this was the only option.
---
Jiang Tian lived in—
Building 444, Unit 44, Floor 44, Apartment 44 in Sunshine Community.
The cheapest apartment available.
---
As soon as Jiang Tian reached his door and was about to unlock it,
He heard his parents talking inside.
---
"Our son hasn't come back yet. What are you doing?"
"I can't help it! The food my wife cooked is just too good!"
"If you have time to joke, you should be thinking about what we're going to do next!"
"Sigh, jobs are hard to find these days. If I really can't find one, maybe I'll work as a porter."
"No way! You know how dangerous it is near alien materials. One mistake and you could get sick!"
"But what else can I do? Our child finally has a dream, a path he wants to take. If his parents don't support him, who will?"
"But..."
---
Creak.
The sound of the door opening interrupted their discussion.
---
Liu Fang immediately smiled, set down her chopsticks, and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Son, you're back! How was class today?"
---
"Not great. I was scammed."
Jiang Tian dropped his school bag, shaking his head as he looked at his father.
---
In his past life,
His father had lost his job, started doing hard labor, and fell sick because of it.
No matter how much money Jiang Tian made afterward, it wasn't enough.
---
This time, he wouldn't let it happen again.
He didn't care if they were worried—
Nothing was more important than their lives.
---
"Scammed?"
Liu Fang froze, looking toward Jiang Yuan.
---
Jiang Yuan hesitated, then waved his hand.
"It's fine, son. Just take it as a lesson. You're still young—it's normal to lack experience."
---
"Yeah!" Liu Fang nodded in agreement, rubbing Jiang Tian's head affectionately.
---
Hearing his parents comfort him,
A warm feeling surged through Jiang Tian's heart.
---
But because of this warmth—
He couldn't let them make the same mistakes.
---
"It's okay."
"I got my tuition back."
---
Jiang Yuan and Liu Fang froze.
"...You got it back?"
Are scammers really that easy to negotiate with?
---
Jiang Yuan chuckled, pouring himself a drink.
"Our son really has skills! Tell us, how did you manage it?"
Jiang Tian looked seriously at his parents.
---
"I beat them to death."
"Then I used their phones to transfer the money back."
---
Jiang Yuan's hand trembled.
The wine spilled all over the table.
