Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 56: A Man Who Runs Isn't a Man



The chilly night stretched Su Chen's shadow long under the streetlights.

Su Chen walked alone down the street.

Utter desolation.

"Just because I nicknamed you Master of Extinction, do you have to be so vicious?" The thought of the remaining 20 kilometers home made Su Chen feel like crying.

That's right, after discovering Su Chen had saved her contact as Master of Extinction, Lin Xi kicked him out of the car.

"Stranding your own husband on the road in the dead of night, if that's not the extinction of humanity, what is? Not Master of Extinction, then what!" Su Chen kicked a can on the road while mumbling curses.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

"Holy crap, who the hell kicked this can!" An outburst of anger followed.

Screech, a green taxi stopped on the road.

Yang Lan got out and oh boy!

Her freshly repaired car now sported another dent.

She really couldn't figure out what kind of bad luck she'd run into recently.

It had only been a few days since the last repair, and now it needed fixing again.

Actually, a small dent isn't a big deal, but Yang Lan is a perfectionist; a dent in her car feels like a dent in her own body.

It had to be fixed.

Yang Lan was livid.

All because of that bastard. Ever since she met him, everything had gone downhill.

Having to repair the car twice was one thing; she had also received several tickets.

Today was even worse. She dropped someone off at West County Villa, and on the return trip, she didn't pick up a single passenger.

That was more than 20 kilometers completely wasted.

My precious gas!

To Yang Lan, burning her gas was like bleeding her dry.

And to top it off, someone had dented her newly repaired car with a can.

Meow that! She might look tame, but don't mistake her for a hello little Kitty!

Even if it were the King of Heaven himself, she couldn't let this jerk off easily today!

Yang Lan stormed out of the car.

Su Chen was also dreadfully uncomfortable; just kicking a can to vent, he somehow managed to hit someone's car with it.

"Beauty, I'm sorry..." What else could he do but apologize?

However, the moment Su Chen saw who was getting out of the car, he suddenly felt an urge to run.

"If you run, you're not a man!"

Su Chen, halfway into his stride, reluctantly reined his leg back in.

Right, he's a man. So what if he damaged someone's car? Does that mean he should run upon seeing her?

How could it be such an odd coincidence that randomly kicking a can would hit the same female taxi driver's car who had taken him to the police station?

Maybe this is what they call unavoidable bad fortune.

"Cough cough, hello there, beauty," Su Chen greeted with a forced smile at the fuming taxi driver.

"Hello? I've never been good!" Yang Lan glared with wide almond eyes.

Ever since bumping into this jinx, she felt as if possessed by misfortune, everything going downhill.

Just looking for a place to vent, and this guy conveniently shows up at her doorstep.

But seeing that Su Chen really didn't run, it seems he's man enough, barely.

"Um, beauty, if I said this was all an accident, would you believe me?"

"Accident, just like 'accidentally' behaving indecently towards that young girl and kicking my car door?" Yang Lan sneered.

Su Chen suddenly became unhappy and said, "Beauty, I indeed kicked your car door, but on what grounds do you say I have designs on that young girl? She's one of my female colleagues; she was drunk, and I was just taking her home!"

Obviously, Yang Lan didn't believe a word from Su Chen and huffed, "Speak, how do you plan to handle this?" Read ahead and get updates at M*V*L*E*M*P*Y*R.

"How about... I pay you?" Su Chen tentatively asked.

"Pay me? Do you think you can just solve everything by paying? Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused me, how much of a shadow you've cast over my life? Ever since I met you, I've been jinxed, nothing goes right, and my car has broken down three times!"

"But I remember, I only ruined your car twice!" Su Chen said innocently.

"That time, it was because I was chasing you and accidentally ran into a street lamp!"

"What does that have to do with me..."

"It was because I was chasing you that I had the accident. Whose fault should it be if not yours?"

Su Chen: "..."

Alright, Su Chen realized, he had encountered someone unreasonable.

Forget it, women are always unreasonable.

Because both Long Lan and West County Villas are located near the suburbs, those living in villas generally have their own cars at home.

So, it's basically impossible to encounter a taxi on the road.

Now that it's nighttime, the chances of finding a ride are practically nil.

Why not then just let this female driver take him back home?

Thinking thus, Su Chen said, "How about this, my home is in West County Villa. As long as you drive me back, I will pay for the car repairs."

"You live in West County Villa?" Yang Lan gave Su Chen a look. She had never believed for a moment that Su Chen could afford to live in a villa, but then she suddenly noticed that Su Chen was wearing a suit by Fan Xizhe.

Although she was just a taxi driver who had ferried many customers, she recognized some name brands.

The suit on Su Chen should cost upwards of 50,000.

It seemed quite possible that he lived in a villa.

"How far is West County Villa from here?"

"About twenty kilometers, don't worry, I'll pay you ten times the fare," Su Chen replied.

"Twenty kilometers?" Yang Lan thoughtfully touched her chin. As a taxi driver, she of course knew the distance from here to West County Villa was about twenty kilometers.

After a moment, she said, "Alright, you wait. I'll drive the car over!"

Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although twenty kilometers was nothing for his physical stamina, given the option, who would choose to walk instead of taking a ride?

Soon, the taxi drove up to where Su Chen was.

Su Chen reached out to open the car door.

But he couldn't.

"Aren't you supposed to drive me home?" Su Chen frowned slightly. Perhaps the female driver had changed her mind.

"I am driving you home, yes, but I never said I'd let you ride in my car," Yang Lan said with a mocking smile on her lips.

"You mean I should walk, and you'll follow by driving?" Su Chen asked, eyes wide.

"What? Don't like walking? Then you can crawl." Seeing Su Chen looking so troubled, Yang Lan found it extremely satisfying.

Dare to kick my car door?

Dare to cause me to smash into a street light?

Dare to hit my car with a can?

Dare to have unseemly intentions towards the young girl?

Twenty kilometers won't kill you to walk them!

That's right, upon learning that Su Chen was heading back to West County Villa, Yang Lan immediately changed her mind.

Think being rich is great?

For rich folks like Su Chen, a few thousand bucks is just a drop in the bucket.

Just making Su Chen compensate with money wouldn't ease the resentment that Yang Lan had built up over many days, would it?

Therefore, she decided to forget about the money and let him walk home instead, especially since at this time, it was nearly impossible to hail a cab on this stretch of road anyway.
