Chapter 14 But you can't use it.

As these words were spoken, several voices of agreement rose from the crowd:

"Exactly! The Living Area is a small society too; you can't just break the rules as you please!"

"Are you trying to declare war on behalf of the Film Academy?!"

"Our Polytechnic has the most people; is it really too much for us to occupy four villas?!"

Wang Mingyuan raised his hand and pressed down again, and the crowd fell silent.

"The tacit rule between the three schools is non-aggression. If you snatch ours from Polytechnic today, our people will snatch from your Film Academy tomorrow, and the Vocational College will get involved the day after."

"Won't this Villa Area fall into chaos then?"

He took a step forward, his tone as sincere as an older brother counseling an immature younger brother.

"You're a smart man; you should understand that rules are meant to protect you. Don't wait until you've become an enemy of the people and have to sleep with one eye open. What would be the point?"

He paused and held up two fingers:

"How about this? I'll propose a plan, and you see if it works."

"First, you head back for today. Once all the car owners in our villa have arrived, we’ll sit down and have a proper talk. We can negotiate for what you want."

"Second, if you absolutely must stay in a villa today, it's not impossible. For instance, those girls behind you—lend two of them to us. We can chat and make friends; surely that's fine?"

When Wang Mingyuan mentioned the second point,

Several boys behind him burst out laughing.

Wang Mingyuan waved his hand, signaling them to stop, his tone still just as sincere: "I'm just giving an example. If you want something, we can talk. We're all civilized people; everything is negotiable."

In Wang Mingyuan's eyes, women were just like clothes, weren't they?

It was like that before the apocalypse, and it was even more so now.

The girls from the Film Academy in front of him were each more exceptional than the last.

The one with long legs, the one with the cold face, the pitiful little thing hiding in the back, and the one with the look of disgust—any one of them was more than ten times better than the ones on the Polytechnic side.

He was secretly comparing them in his mind.

He could tell that this Chen Yu was the same kind of person as himself.

Since they were the same kind of person, it would be easy to talk.

Chen Yu wanted a villa? Fine, give him a room, or even an entire floor.

Villa No. 1 was big enough anyway.

But those top-tier beauties behind him were rare finds in the apocalypse.

As long as he could get two of them, even for just a week, it would be worth it.

He had even started calculating... how to trick Chen Yu later and make him understand the principle of "resource sharing."

Behind Chen Yu, the expressions of several girls darkened simultaneously.

It wasn't fear; it was disgust.

Wang Mingyuan spoke politely and smiled decently, but that contempt seeping from his bones was nauseating.

They exchanged glances.

They all leaned closer behind Shen Qingci.

If Chen Yu were to take action, the only one who could ensure their safety was Senior Sister Shen.

"No need for negotiations. Tonight, we are staying here."

"This villa can be cleared out now."

Chen Yu spoke indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand reached to his side, and a giant Boning Knife appeared out of thin air.

"?"

The faces of the thirty-odd people all changed, and they collectively took a step back.

Seeing this guy's stubborn-as-a-mule temper, Wang Mingyuan felt a surge of anger as well.

"Chen Yu, what do you mean? You don't rob the Film Academy, you don't rob the Vocational College, but you specifically come to rob our Polytechnic University. Do you think we're easy targets?"

At these words, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"Exactly! What did we from Polytechnic ever do to you?"

"The tacit rules between the three schools—you want to break them? Can you take responsibility for that?!"

"You're pushing the Film Academy into a pit of fire!"

"Do the people at your Film Academy know you're doing this out here?"

The shouts rose in waves. With thirty-odd people crowded in the yard, the noise made people's ears ring.

Chen Yu shook his head: "I see. You're worried about the imbalance between the three schools?"

The voices of the crowd gradually quieted down.

They stared at Chen Yu, thinking he finally understood the gravity of the situation.

Finally understanding that this wasn't something he could handle alone, that it affected the relations between the three schools, that he couldn't afford to provoke the entire Polytechnic area, and that he should back down.

But Chen Yu only spoke indifferently: "Then you don't need to worry, because the entire Villa Area is mine."

"?"

Instantly, the courtyard of Villa No. 1 became deathly silent.

Every single person doubted their own ears.

Only the sea breeze blew through the palm leaves, making a rustling sound.

Behind Chen Yu, the girls all turned their heads, completely unexpected that Chen Yu would say such a thing.

This was too crazy.

What did he mean?

Wang Mingyuan and Zhou Rui looked at each other, completely stunned for several seconds.

"*Cough, cough, cough.*"

Wang Mingyuan's voice was shaky: "You... what did you say?"

Chen Yu nodded, very seriously: "No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4."

He looked to the right.

"No. 5, No. 6, No. 7."

Then he looked further inside.

"No. 8, No. 9, No. 1."

He retracted his gaze: "They are all mine, so you don't have to worry about any conflict between the three schools."

"..."

The shocking words were repeated!

If a normal person said such things, it would only be taken as a joke!

But when this guy said it, he was full of conviction!

"This guy is absolutely insane... Who does he think he is, one person seizing ten villas? Is he dreaming?"

"Would the Film Academy agree? Would the Vocational College agree? We at Polytechnic won't agree either!"

"Does he not know how many people live in our Villa Area?"

"When he gets thrown out of the villa later, let's see if he's still so arrogant!"

"Hahahaha..."

Someone burst out laughing, but as they laughed, they realized no one around them was joining in.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Because Chen Yu had already started walking, the tip of his Boning Knife trailing on the ground.

"Next, I'm going to check in."

"In ten minutes, I will kill every stranger left inside the villa."

"Not one..."

"Will be left."

Wang Mingyuan frowned: "Chen Yu, I'm trying to negotiate with you nicely. Do you really think we're afraid of you? I know you're using a golden body card. You're not the only one with such a card, I..."

*Squelch!*

Wang Mingyuan's voice stopped abruptly.

The space in front of him went empty.

Chen Yu, who had been standing three meters away just a second ago, had vanished.

He looked down.

A giant Boning Knife had entered from his front and pierced through his back, right through his heart.

He wanted to look up, to see that face.

But his neck could no longer move.

Chen Yu pulled out the Boning Knife and lightly pressed it against Wang Mingyuan's chest.

"You have one too, right?"

"But you can't use it."

*Thud.*

Wang Mingyuan's corpse was pushed over, hitting the ground.

Thirty-odd people were crowded in the yard, but at this moment, not a single person spoke.

Only blood soaked out from beneath the corpse.
