The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 313: Amiability and Fury

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The car Torres prepared was a custom black seven-seater Lincoln Navigator.

In fact, since he cared about his convenience of transporting his wizard gus, Zhang Lisheng was most particular about a car’s size. For this reason, other than a long Bentley that acted as a guest-chauffeuring car, all the other cars were large-scale recreational vehicle like this.

As he breathed in the fresh air and listened to the sound of water flowing from the distant mountain, he threaded on the wet stone road to bypass the garden. When Zhang Lisheng saw this car that powerful appearance and had a feeling that it could climb over mountains and wade through raging water like it was nothing, he nodded with satisfaction. “Abigail, you’ve picked a good car!”

Then, he entered the driver’s seat.

“It’s my obligation! Be careful, Sir!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve always been very careful when driving. By the way, I will not come back today after returning to school. Goodbye!” Seeing Guo Caiying entering the co-driver seat, Zhang Lisheng said with a smile and switched on the car light. After starting the car’s engine, he slowly drove it downward to the foot of the mountain.

The two light beams overlapped each other as they broke through the night and illuminated the road. However, it had drizzled again, so the visibility of the light was only about 20 to 30 meters away.

The space of the SUV was impressive. However, no matter how big the car was, it was still a narrow and intimate space. Like being locked in an elevator that had suddenly come to a halt, when a young man and a young woman was alone with each other’s company for a long time, a subtle atmosphere would form.

Feeling that the situation would become even more awkward if she said nothing, Guo Caiying watched the slippery road outside the car through the front windshield and suddenly whispered, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother. I originally wanted to help you today, but in the end, the situation has been reversed.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister! I’m also a Chinese, so I understand your decision. It’s a virtue for a girl to be more decent.”

Guo Caiying was dumbfounded for a moment. Not knowing what was in her mind, her expression changed a little. “Then, does it mean that I’d have been decent if I had stayed in your house temporarily for one night? You have 14 guest rooms and the road has been flooded! How is it not decent for me to stay for the night?”

“Senior Sister, you know that I don’t mean that! Okay, I said something wrong. I’m sorry.”

“You really don’t have any temper! You’re too amiable, how boring!” As though sensing that she was being a little unreasonable, Guo Caiying whispered and stopped talking, silently looking into the distance.

This was his first time being called as ‘amiable’ after becoming a wizard, so Zhang Lisheng could not help but feel kinda weirded out right away. However, he merely smiled and fell into silence too.

The SUV drove down the mountain road and ran up to the highway that had seemingly become a river.

The car cruised in the dirty water that was half a meter deep. The road ahead had disappeared completely, so he could only rely on the trees planted by the roadside and the cars that had broken down to distinguish the road from the wilderness.

No matter how superior a car was, it could not speed up in such a harsh environment. However, Zhang Lisheng’s speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour still gradually cleaned up the apology and patience in Guo Caiying’s heart bit by bit.

“Junior Brother, are you driving a Lincoln or a snail? No! Snails are even faster than us! Even though the road conditions are bad, there’s no need to drive like this, right?”

“The situation is terrible now so safety is more important, Senior Sister! We’re only slightly over 20 kilometers away from Stanford, so even if I drive at a speed of 10 miles per hour, I can still send you back to the dormitory before your usual bedtime.”

“Do you still intend to use this turtle’s speed all the way? Wow, how f*cked up is this!?” The girl smacked her palm on her forehead and sighed. “This Lincoln is too unfortunate for having fallen in your hand! Get down, I’ll drive instead!”

“Of course we can change seats, but do you have a driver’s license with you now?”

“I’m wearing sportswear and I rode around the university’s campus on my bicycle. How is it possible that I have my license with me?” Not knowing whether to cry or laugh, Guo Caiying pointed at the road outside, that was completely empty except for the cars that had broken down. “Do you think we’ll come across any inspecting police officer at this time and this place right now?”

“This has nothing to do with the presence of police officers. It’s just that I’d always obey the law unless I really have no other choice.”

“I think you’re a completely meticulous old pedant. Your mental age is about the same as that of the old man in his 60s!” The young man talked in a calm and soothing way but gave off an irrefutable feeling. The girl was stunned for a moment before lowering her electronically controlled seat down, out of sight and out of mind. “Alright, continue your driving then. I want to take a rest...”

At this time, the SUV had already been driven out of the deepest section of the water. Suddenly, the girl was about to lie down when she saw three lights shining in the distant darkness. They could faintly hear a faint sound of yelping and sobbing in the night rain.

“Junior Brother, look, is there an accident or something in front?” Guo Caiying who noticed the abnormal situation disregard her agitated mood and nervously asked.

“They look like a group of thieves, who had planned to steal the tires of some cars that have broken down on the road in this rain to get some petty money for themselves they have encountered a few unlucky night pedestrians and have switched to become robbers instead.” HIs gaze cut across the rain and clearly saw five to six black young men wearing old jackets who were obviously indecent people. They were standing in a circle and were shouting in excitement. Zhang Lisheng watched them and casually said.

“Is that so? T-then, what should we do? O-oh yeah! Report to the police! Let’s report this to the police now!” When the girl heard it, she became more and more nervous. Taking out her phone, she dialed 911 but realized that the phone line was unfortunately cut off again.

Staring at the bar-less signal on the screen, Guo Caiying who had undergone several years of Western-style education and had become accustomed to ‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s’ did not show any intention of standing up to injustice and merely said with worries, “There’s no signal. Looks like we can only go to the university to inform the school police. Junior Brother, don’t ever stop! You must charge forward directly...”

As she was speaking, she suddenly felt that the crying voice gradually becoming louder as they became closer was somewhat familiar. Horrified, she stared with a dumbfounded look on her face and choked. Losing her coolness, she shouted, “AH SHIT! That crying sounds like Chuhe! Yes, it’s Chuhe’s sound! What should I do? What should I do? Chuhe and Luo Bingya must have come to find me and have encountered burglars on the way! I-I’m so stupid! Why must I told her the address? W-what should we do...”

Upon hearing Guo Caiying’s cries, Zhang Lisheng re-studied the group of thugs in the distance and saw the face of a desperate Asian girl between them.

“You’re right, Senior Sister, it looks like Senior Sister Chuhe is being robbed!” The young man frowned and pondered over it. Then, he changed the car’s gear and said in a calm voice, “Senior Sister, put on your safety belt. Sit tight! I’ll settle those problems first!”

Then, he slammed down on the accelerator pedal to the maximum.

The young black thugs who were surrounding their several preys in the distance had also found that there was a car was speeding towards them on the road. The youngest one of them, who was most likely still a teen, grinned at a dark-skinned boy with a mushroom haircut. “Bro, another car is coming over! Shall we go throw a few more stones to block it?”

“Don’t take the risk! The driver wouldn’t stop when he sees this situation even if we threaten with a bowl. If he loses control of his steering, he might even crash into us instead...” The leader who was the tallest and biggest, wearing a wide-brimmed sunglasses on the rainy night among the thugs, turned to look at the car that suddenly sped up like crazy several hundred meters away. Wisely, he shook his head.

As he was talking, without warning, he was surprised to find that the large SUV in the distance was not at all escaping; instead, it glared up its dazzling lights as it was aiming towards its target, charging straight into themselves like a ferocious steel monster.

With cold running down his spine, the tall black man shouted in astonishment, “F-F*ck! Sh*t! That driver is crazy! Take cover! Now!”

In the anguish shout of the leader, the thugs who had already been shrouded in dazzling lights panicked right away. Tumbling and rolling, they broke their circle formation and dodged to the roadside. After an ear-deafening loud ‘bang’ sound resonated, they saw that the two ragged small cars they drove here were smashed till they were sent flying in the air like a cardboard being thrown. They crashed into the roadside trees and turned into a pile of scrap.

Then, under the illumination of the car light that shone across the rain curtain, a bald, skinny figure who was wearing a loose black casual wear opened the door of the SUV driver’s seat that just showed an amazing brutal force earlier and threaded into the rain on his brown furry low top boots.

“B-buddy, you’ve really called for a lot of troubles...” Despite still having lingering shock and lips that were still trembling, as the leader, the tall black man reached out to his sunglasses from the wet ground and put it on with his trembling hands before pointing at the thin figure not far away and threatening toughly.

However, when he was only halfway through his sentence, he saw that the thin figure had already stepped out of his car onto the damp concrete ground and was already charging towards him. With a speed that was half as fast as a ghost, the thin figure appeared in front of him directly and waved his palm to break his finger off.

Watching this scene unfolding before his eyes in a peculiar angle with his fingers reversing to point towards himself, the tall black man already saw the fist of the thin figure being thrown on his chest before he could even feel pain.

A sudden itch appeared in his chest; he felt as though a mosquito bit him. He saw that bald, thin figure, whose face he could not clearly see and could only see his silhouette flashing around, bypassed himself.

“W-what the hell are you doing?” The thug leader was stunned for a few seconds before asking in a baffled voice. To his surprise, he found that he could not summon any strength to even turn his head, even his voice had become much fainter in volume compared to the drizzling rain now.

The itch in his chest became numb, and the numbness became a tingling sensation. The tall black man, whose arteries had been severed by an external force, opened his mouth wide and quickly breathed a few mouthfuls of air. Not even being able to feel the coolness of the night rain falling into his mouth, he muttered to himself, “W-What happened? T-this is really f*cked up! F*cked up...”

Then, he slumped down like a puddle of mud.

The shallow flood on the road was just high enough to cover his mouth and nose. When a few bubbles gushed up to the water surface, the world in the sight of this tough mob had become eternal darkness.
