Trillionaire's Slice of Life

One hundred times gravity descended. The woman in the leather jacket, who had transformed into a blur just moments before, seemed to be suddenly halted by an invisible gravitational barrier. Her figure became evident in an instant, and at the same time, she finally stopped in her tracks five meters away.

However, the gravity that should have crushed the opponent into pulp was instead blocked by the red gas surrounding the woman. Though the gas was distorted under the immense pressure, it remained steadfast in its protection.

In the next moment, the woman in the leather jacket let out a powerful roar. The red gas in her body began to condense rapidly. In a matter of seconds, the gas formed into a bird resembling a phoenix. As the woman bent forward, the phoenix, composed of red energy, flapped its wings. Her feet pushed against the ground with force, and once again, she displayed a ghostly and terrifying speed.

In mere moments, the five-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye. When the blurred figure of the woman arrived beside Yu Wenjing, she raised her leg high, and the heel of her shoe swung down ferociously toward Yu Wenjing's face.

If this strike were successful, Yu Wenjing would likely be split clean in half.

At this critical moment, a soft sigh suddenly echoed:

"Phoenix, you should know what kind of place this is. In my bar, petty disputes are tolerable, but if lives are taken, I will not allow it. If you want to cause trouble, go outside the bar. As long as you're not on my turf, I won't intervene."

"But if anyone dares to stir up chaos on my turf... regardless of who you are, don't blame me for being merciless."

The elusive boss of the bar, who had previously acted indifferent, finally stepped forward.

This potbellied man was none other than the master of the Spatial System domain. In his realm, with just a single thought, all present would be immobilized, as if frozen by a paralysis spell.

At this moment, within the bar, all movement ceased—including the woman in the leather jacket and the dozens of system users inside. The only individual free to move was the middle-aged man.

"Phoenix, you injured Mi Tian for no reason. I've already refrained from taking action on account of your father. But now, you dare attempt murder on my turf? Do you truly take me for a fool?"

As the middle-aged man stepped out of the counter, his voice grew colder with each forward stride:

"Mi Tian is a valued guest at my bar and my closest friend. He's been coming here for over a decade. Despite being a system user, he's chosen to lead a simple life as an ordinary office worker. Year after year, he's worked diligently and never used his system powers for wrongdoing. For someone like him, what right do you have to leave him gravely wounded?"

The middle-aged man slowly approached the woman in the leather jacket, his sharp gaze revealing an imposing aura that exuded terror.

What happened next was simply unfathomable. Perhaps due to overconfidence, the man approached Phoenix without defenses.

Given the strength of his S-rank system, it was nearly impossible for anyone to break through his Spatial domain's confinement. Within the walls of the bar, he loomed like a god.

But at that moment, blinded by rage, Phoenix dismissed all warnings. In the instant he stepped close, her immobilization suddenly broke. She swiftly withdrew a dagger from her clothing. Without hesitation, her fierce gaze locked onto the man as she plunged the blade deeply into his chest.

"Crack..."

The sound of shattering glass echoed in the room. The Spatial force restraining the bar dissolved abruptly. When the confinement lifted, the bar's proprietor, the middle-aged man with the terrifying S-rank system, collapsed onto the ground in stunned disbelief.

The atmosphere inside the bar transformed into outright dread as a system user fell bleeding to his death.

In mere minutes, Yu Wenjing lay gravely hurt in a coma, and the bar owner—a figure of immense power—was stabbed fatally through the heart.

If system users showed indifference toward the lives of ordinary people, such as the gang of punks who had just barged in, treating their deaths as insignificant, the loss of fellow system users painted an entirely different picture. Witnessing the death of another peer was a stark reminder to all: even lofty system users could succumb to mortalities.

The events in just a few fleeting moments left the bar shaken—two system users critically injured or dead. Something unimaginable to everyone present.

Behind the chaos, Phoenix raised her dagger once again. Her back shone with fiery phoenix wings materializing behind her.

This was her system—the Power of Phoenix, granting her enhancements in speed, strength, and aerial mobility. Additionally, under the protective influence of the Phoenix, her wounds healed rapidly. Unless fatally harmed, most injuries would regenerate quickly. When using the full extent of Phoenix's powers, even severed limbs could regrow in mere moments.

This was the terrifying might of Phoenix.

Beneath her feet, the bar owner lay lifeless. Blood spilled across the floor, staining it crimson.

Nearby, the unconscious form of Mi Tian still showed no signs of motion. Phoenix's fiery wings flapped behind her, her killing intent intensifying rather than waning.

In such a scenario, the dozens of system users present were all cowed, unable to muster the courage to confront her.

Just then, the pony-tailed woman who had been slumped over the bar counter in a drunken haze stirred.

The same woman who had taunted Chu Mo earlier grabbed her Spiritual Power Wine and gulped it down heavily. Casting a disdainful glance at everyone around her, she sneered:

"A bunch of useless cowards!"

With her words still lingering, the woman—who, half an hour earlier, had hurt Chu Mo's shoulder and unleashed an Ice Arrow curse—finally stepped forward. A peculiar crimson glint sparked in her eyes, as an ice-arrow formation materialized atop her head.

Facing a prepared and system-powered opponent, Phoenix remained cold and focused, slightly hunching her body as her wings flapped behind her, bracing for a lethal strike.

In a flash, the drunken ponytail woman disappeared. Moments later, the two reappeared in the center of the dancefloor, spanning over ten meters in an instant.

Phoenix, dagger in hand, targeted her rival's heart. The drunken woman, fully prepared, countered with a swift kick to Phoenix's arm, retreating as an ice-arrow formation simultaneously launched deft barrages of sharp projectiles.

Unfazed, Phoenix swiftly shielded herself with her wings. As the ice arrows struck, the fiery heat from her wings melted them instantly, rendering them harmless.

Taking advantage of the brief attack interval, the ponytail woman prepared her next move. Her eyes flashed with fiery brilliance as a radiant pillar erupted across the bar's ceiling. In an instant, the pillar shot downward toward Phoenix's wings.

"God's Eye, Scorching Flame!"

A deafening explosion ensued, forcing Chu Mo to activate his Invincible Body Skill. Flames and dense smoke obscured the view.

Hovering above, Chu Mo had placed Yu Wenjing in a protective barrier. Surveying the devastation below, he finally grasped the brutality of system-user confrontations.

"If we don't intervene today, we'll face endless hunts by Phoenix in the future. We must fight!"

As the smoke cleared, Phoenix ascended with her flapping wings, while the drunken woman prepared herself for the next clash on the ground.

Standing by, Yu Wenjing uttered a calm caution to Chu Mo. Realization sank in—he had been dragged into a deadly war between system users. Fixating his gaze on Phoenix, Chu Mo let out a soft sigh before unleashing his domain power.

"Invincible Body Skill activated. Domain released. All skills—fully deployed!"
