Chapter 16: What else can You Do, Other than Empty Threats?

"I see that you're not a complete fool... Understand, I wasn't very interested in looking for the guy behind my kidnapping, but... Since you came to me, there's no way I wouldn't take this chance, right?" Luan said nonchalantly.

Bernardo started to scratch his waist as if he was trying to imply something. Of course, Luan understood that Bernardo meant that he was armed and to not act rashly. However, he was wrong to think that Luan would be afraid of a gun.

"Kidnapping?" Ingrid looked at Bernardo and then shook her head. She thought that this time Bernardo had finally gone too far. He just had to have Luan Dimas kidnapped... Bernardo was a real fool.

"Luan, he was the one who told my sister to drug me and negotiated with Rafael... Well, the rest you already know," Ingrid said with undisguised anger. She didn't care if Bernardo lived or died. After all, he was the bastard who sold her to be raped. If it hadn't been for Bernardo, as bad as her sister was, Monica wouldn't have planned to do anything like that.

"Oh. I see it seems that we are bound by fate in several ways." Luan smiled as he looked at Ingrid, but then he looked at Bernardo again with a cold look.

"..." Ingrid said nothing, but she hoped it was true what Luan had said about the two of them…

"My love, I can't breathe..." The voluptuous blonde woman next to Bernardo had just about passed out.

Bruna was at a loss as for what to do, as were the real estate employees, who when they heard of a kidnapping case and heard that Luan's name was Luan Dimas, they almost had a heart attack - since although there were several men with the name Luan Dimas, he was the only Luan Dimas with white hair and red eyes.

"My god..." Bruna covered her mouth in shock.

Pulling out a .38 chrome pistol, Bernardo pointed it at Luan.

""Kyaah!"" The women inside the real estate center screamed in fear.

Luan's silhouette blinked, and before Bernardo could notice, Luan was already in front of him holding Bernardo's wrist very tightly and with the sound of *Crack!* Bernardo's wrist bone was reduced to splinters, becoming as thin as a broomstick.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Bernardo cried out in pain and dropped the gun on the floor.

*Blen!* The metallic sound echoed the moment the pistol fell to the floor.

"And now, what else can you do, other than spout empty threats?" Luan's voice was emotionless. No one could discern whether his tone was incredulous or indifferent.

However, after Luan crushed Bernardo's wrist, Luan made the aura around himself cold and dense. It was as if he were the devil himself, causing almost everyone inside the real estate agency to pass out; only Ingrid and Bernardo remained awake. Bernardo only retained consciousness because of the pain he felt in his wrist that had been crushed by Luan. If not, with as weak as his mind was, it would be difficult to say when he would have been able to wake up again.

'What the hell is he?' Bernardo, looking at the pair of red eyes in front of him, was very afraid for his life. He strongly believed that with Luan's status, it was easy for Luan to kill him and not suffer any consequences.

"Man, I'm sorry. You are my God, my father. I will be your subordinate and do whatever you say, but please don't kill me!" Bernardo cried while begging for forgiveness.

Bernardo had never been as afraid as he was now, even when he had faced the police, since there were laws that had protected him. However, to someone of Luan's caliber, laws meant nothing. Even if he was caught, he could easily avoid punishment. In addition, Bernardo was someone hated by the police and society as a whole, a drug supplier who ran a slum; many wanted him dead, even other criminals who competed with him.

"Heh. If I said that I'm surprised by what you said, I would be lying. But don't expect that I would want someone like you as my subordinate. And as for killing you, well…" Luan didn't say, but it didn't look like he was going to let Bernardo escape with just the bones of his wrist being crushed into splinters.

Luan looked at Ingrid. "You are the one who suffered the most because of him, and I'm going to kill him if you don't want to do it. You don't actually need to get your hands dirty, but I'm still going to let you choose what you wish to do."

"No, no, no! You can't do that! Just let me go and I promise never to do anything wrong again, please! You need to give me a chance to redeem myself!" Bernardo didn't know what Luan had done to cause everyone to pass out, and he didn't know how Luan could be so powerful that he could shatter his wrist, however, he didn't doubt that Luan would kill him now.

"I..." Ingrid was undecided. She hated Bernardo and to be honest, she wanted him dead, but, she didn't know whether or not she wanted to execute justice with her own hands.

Seeing that Ingrid was in doubt, Bernardo saw that she was the only chance for him to get out of this alive. He shouted while looking at her, "Ingrid, you need to believe me. I know you have a good heart and you are an woman of integrity who wouldn't dare to commit something like murder. After all, you're just a woman- I mean, you're a woman and you don't want to have that sort of weight on your mind. Even if you don't kill me, you'll always remember it cause I died and you wouldn't be able to bear that weight..."

"Oh..." What Bernardo said now and the way he spoke, it was as if in his mind women were inferior to men in many ways, and that somehow made Ingrid angry. The more she heard Bernardo speak, the angrier she became, and that was when her body practically moved on its own.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Ingrid's hand struck into Bernardo's chest like a spear, with her five fingers together in a point. Bernardo's flesh tore as his heart was pierced; his eyes were still wide open, looking at Ingrid in total disbelief.

'How can a simple woman be that strong?' These were Bernardo's last thoughts as he died.

Ingrid's body shook and she felt shocked; she wanted to get rid of the blood on her hand as soon as she pulled it out of Bernardo's chest.

"What do we do now?" Ingrid didn't know what to do. She had acted on impulse and now she could only depend on Luan for guidance.

"There's a bathroom over there. You can use it to wash your hands." Luan, seeing her so shaken, remembered the first time he had killed someone. Although it may have seemed cruel, it was something that Luan expected Ingrid to experience eventually.

'Now I need to use some of my divine sense and change the last few minutes of their memories.' Although he had not started cultivating a Qi cultivation technique, Luan already had a stronger mind than normal people. Changing a few minutes of the memories of these normal people was easy for him.

The woman who came in with Bernardo before was the first person he changed the memories of the last few minutes and made her want to go to her house. Luan placed her sitting on a chair and made her wake up.

"I need to go home," she said as soon as she woke up, and then she left. She looked like a puppet, walking robotically.

After that, Luan saw a back door and carried Bernardo's body through it.

'Luan?' Ingrid, who came out of the bathroom with a pale face, saw Luan carrying Bernardo's body. She ended up feeling a knot form in her stomach and ended up going back to the bathroom to throw up.

After she threw up everything she had to throw up, Ingrid went to the reception and saw that the voluptuous woman was already gone. Ingrid was worried that the woman woke up and left scared and was possibly going to call the police, so Ingrid hurried to the back of the estate, where Luan had gone before.

"Luan?!" Spotting him, Ingrid said, "The woman who was with Bernardo is gone!"

"Mm, you don't have to worry. I made her leave. I simply hypnotized her a little and made her forget what she saw before," Luan replied nonchalantly.

"I see… That is good." Ingrid put her hand on her chest and sighed with relief. It was not known if it was because of this, but she was calmer after she did so. But then she frowned because Bernardo's body had now disappeared, "What happened to Bernardo's body?"

"I made him disappear forever. You don't have to worry; no one will find out what happened here," Luan said with a comforting smile.

Ingrid saw that Luan had many secrets, but she wouldn't try to find out if he didn't want to tell her. Ingrid took a deep breath and said, "I see. This is good, I think."

"Yes, he is better dead than alive. You don't have to feel guilty about something like him." Luan spoke as if Bernardo's life was even more insignificant than an insect.

"I will try." Ingrid nodded and asked, "And what about the people inside the estate? What do you intend to do with them?"

"I'm just going to erase the last few minutes of their memories, and then we can buy the house," Luan replied.
