I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Only the sound of retching, but nothing actually came out.

Perhaps it's because they've been tied up here, and the vile underworld didn't provide any dinner.

It took a minute or two before Koda Kaoru eased slightly and leaned against the wall, unable to stand upright.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Chen finally belatedly asked.

Koda Kaoru didn't speak, but the frequency of her gasping, clutching her chest, clearly showed how uncomfortable she was at the moment.

There's no doubt that she's an exceptional talent, excelling in multiple roles at the top of her field, yet ultimately, she's still just an ordinary person—or should we say, a normal person.

Which normal person has ever witnessed a sight like this?

Daring to live in a haunted house doesn't mean they're fearless; perhaps they're just determined materialists like Jiang Chen.

Moreover.

Often, people can be far scarier than ghosts.

The small building she bought at a low cost, indeed a haunted house with three buried corpses, but right now, the scene outside is the true Abyss Hell!

For some reason, possibly due to tonight's shocks, the usually considerate Jiang Chen is suddenly rather insensitive, watching passively while Koda Kaoru dry-heaved for so long, not even helping to pour a glass of water.

The water dispenser is right by the wall, extremely visible.

As for Tanki Liuli, there's even less need to mention; although they've met, it was only a meeting, and with her deep-rooted prejudice against Dongying, not having drawn her sword to cut down Koda Kaoru alongside her is already considered friendly.

No surprises.

Her arrival tonight and her proactive behavior might not truly be about "saving people."

Could she kill?

Her desires fulfilled.

Instead of entering the house to find someone after dealing with all the gangsters, she merely said—"I'm going to sleep."

After leaning against the wall for several more minutes to steady herself, Koda Kaoru finally stood upright, her once rosy cheeks now drained of color.

Never seen such a scene before?

She turned to look at Jiang Chen, then glanced towards the door at Tanki Liuli.

Both of them were dressed clean and neat, nothing amiss, except Tanki Liuli was holding something.

It's quite obvious who the instigator was.

Naturally.

She didn't confirm it, but in a strained and trembling voice she asked, "Call the police?"

When she was tied up, she didn't remember the people's police, but now she thinks of them.

Though it's a bit late, from the perspective of a normal person, it's still reasonable.

The officers may not be efficient at rescuing, but for cleaning up the mess, they're reliable.

Jiang Chen smiled; at times like this, there's no other expression to offer.

Although the main goal is to save people, so many corpses are a fact. Who knows what the Dongying standards are for self-defense?

Call Fang Qing for advice?

Forget it.

By now, Mr. Fang is most likely asleep.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, if you report this, I fear we'll have to tie you up again."

Jiang Chen's remark, though made in jest, made Koda Kaoru suddenly realize she had asked a foolish question.

They went through extreme efforts to rescue her, and now calling the police isn't that a betrayal?

Koda Kaoru evidently adheres to personal principles; knowing full well the risk of being an accomplice by not reporting, yet she didn't insist on calling the police.

"Let's go quickly."

She quickly said.

Tanki Liuli turned and left, genuinely looking sleepy.

Walking downstairs, Koda Kaoru gradually realized that the horrifying scene at the door was just the tip of the iceberg. Her steps were unstable, needing to hold onto Jiang Chen's arm to support herself, placing most of her weight on him.

One corpse.

Two corpses.

Five corpses.

...

If all the corpses were piled together from each floor, they could barely be considered a small burial mound.

Reaching the building, the air was finally clear, and Koda Kaoru lowered her hand from her nose, inhaling greedily like a drowning person surfacing, but she still clung to Jiang Chen's arm without relaxing.

The night was far darker than when they arrived.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, can we get a car here?"

Take a look.

Such pragmatism.

Koda Kaoru didn't respond.

Alright.

Seems like there's no chance of getting one.

Thus the odd trio of one man and two women walked out of the chemical plant deep into the night, along the road on this secluded outskirts.

Should someone pass by, they'd most likely be frightened.

Quite a leisurely stroll, indeed.

Tanki Liuli started off ahead, then fell behind, and finally moved back to the front.

After walking about two or three hundred meters from the chemical plant, Koda Kaoru glanced back, not as reactive as before though her complexion remained pale.

"Just leave them there?"

What else?

Take them back?

He isn't a corpse walker, and presumably, the Taoist nun sister hasn't learned such a skill either.

Of course, Koda Kaoru's intention was kind; so many corpses in such tragic states, come daylight, it will undoubtedly shock all of Dongying.

Leaving like this indeed seems irresponsible, and later the officers will surely come for a visit. Still, handling such a big chore with just a few people, even if they rushed through the night, cleaning up entirely is impossible.

Moreover.

Didn't she mention she wanted to sleep?

Taking a look at the young Taoist nun three steps ahead, Jiang Chen wasn't confident in instructing her to continue working under such circumstances; the only chocolate he had was already spent.

What constitutes a high-person demeanor?

Perhaps it's displayed in the act of killing but not burying.

"Can we still catch a flight now?"

Koda Kaoru looked up, stunned at the man she was leaning on.

Running away is indeed a rather cunning method, but.

Her?

What about her?!

She's not a Shenzhou citizen!

Koda Kaoru's lips quivered, unsure if she wanted to curse.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, if you're willing, join us; if Koda Kaoru is willing to abandon fame and fortune here."

Luckily Jiang Chen has a conscience and didn't ignore her.

Fame and fortune.

As an Imperial Tutor, and top-tier Ginza Pao Ji, she certainly deserves such a description.

Koda Kaoru's expression hardened, without a reply.

Working abroad differs significantly from exile, common folks find it hard to decide.

Furthermore.

She didn't kill anyone.

She's the victim.

Since she didn't answer, Jiang Chen didn't pressure her.

Fortune favored them.

After walking for another ten minutes, a vehicle surprisingly approached from behind.

Koda Kaoru quickly waved her hand to signal.

The car stopped.

The moment Koda Kaoru let go of Jiang Chen's arm, she hurried over.

No doubt about her communication skills; her world-moving appearance together with being a Dongying native ensured an expected outcome.

"Get in the car."

She turned back, reporting the good news to Jiang Chen and the others.

Pulling the car door open.

Before anyone got inside.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion shattered the silent night.

The car seemed to shake with the ground.

Koda Kaoru and Tanki Liuli instinctively turned their heads.

About a kilometer away, a fierce blaze accompanied by dense dust shot skyward.

It was precisely towards the chemical plant's direction.

Koda Kaoru turned sharply,

only to see Jiang Chen's composed face, lacking gentlemanly grace, opening the passenger door and getting in first.
