5: Bullied Homelander

The Original Owner was born into a low-income single-parent Family in the Cold Country, where his parents barely scraped by on menial jobs.

In this land of cold indifference where chaebols held power, he was repeatedly bullied at school.

Gazing at the curled-up Superman poster in his home, the Original Owner's eyes were filled with longing, hoping that one day he could become an Incarnation of Superman, punishing evil and promoting good, to shatter this cold world.

With no background to rely on, he became the target of the male lead, Zheng Yunfei, to trample upon at will.

Zheng Yunfei, a chaebol heir, took pleasure in tormenting the Original Owner, forcing him to do all sorts of ugly things just to earn a smile from the female lead, Su Cheng.

Su Cheng feigned concern for the Original Owner to his face, but despised him from the bottom of her heart, even enjoying the way the Original Owner was tormented because of her, treating him like a clown for people to make fun of.

One day after school, Zheng Yunfei brought some thugs to surround the Original Owner again. When the Original Owner was being beaten, his father happened to appear.

But Zheng Yunfei didn't care at all and joined the thugs in beating the father and son.

The Original Owner's father was struck in the head by a thug and eventually died despite emergency treatment.

The Original Owner's mother couldn't handle the blow and chose to hang herself. Zheng Yunfei easily suppressed the matter using his Family's influence.

Over the next ten years, the Original Owner worked hard through his pain, founding a company and vowing to take revenge on Zheng Yunfei.

However, Su Cheng deliberately approached him, using his lingering affection to extract the company's core secrets, and then turned around to help Zheng Yunfei completely ruin him.

With no hope for revenge, the Original Owner, filled with grief and indignation, chose to commit suicide.

【Task: Help the Original Owner take revenge】

【This task's Golden Finger: Steel Body, Laser Eyes, Supersonic Flight】

Qin Jiuge finished reading the plot and revealed a smile like Homelander's.

"So I'm being asked to play Superman. Interesting."

When Qin Jiuge opened his eyes, he found himself standing on the rooftop, the very spot where the Original Owner had committed suicide.

The cold wind whipped the dust from the roof, sticking to Qin Jiuge's back, which was soaked in cold sweat.

Below him was a hundred-meter drop, and the city's neon lights beneath his feet looked like poison-tipped needles.

Zheng Yunfei's luxury car drove past downstairs. The window was half-down, and Su Cheng was leaning in Zheng Yunfei's arms, giggling. The diamond bracelet she was toying with was bought with the money from ruining the Original Owner's company.

Without a moment's hesitation, Qin Jiuge vaulted off the rooftop.

Supersonic Flight tore through the air, and he plummeted like a black lightning bolt, landing instantly on the hood of Zheng Yunfei's sports car.

His Steel Body caused the car body to cave in violently, and shards of glass splashed all over Zheng Yunfei's face.

Zheng Yunfei's angry cursing stuck in his throat. When he saw clearly that it was the "resurrected" Original Owner, his pupils shrank to needles: "You... you aren't dead?!"

He instinctively reached for the self-defense stick at his waist, but Qin Jiuge stepped on his wrist.

With a crisp "crack," Zheng Yunfei's wrist bone shattered directly, and he rolled out of the car, screaming in agony.

Su Cheng was so scared her face turned pale; she opened the car door and tried to run, but Qin Jiuge grabbed her hair and tossed her against the car body like a chick.

The back of her head hit with a sharp pain. Just as she was about to scream, Qin Jiuge had already stepped on her ankle.

The crisp sound of Shattered Bone mixed with her screams, sounding particularly jarring in the night.

This was the foot that had kicked the Original Owner's lower abdomen countless times, forcing him to kneel on the ground and crawl like a dog.

Zheng Yunfei struggled, trying to help Su Cheng, but Qin Jiuge turned around and smashed his elbow hard into his ribs.

With a dull "thud," Zheng Yunfei collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud, seven ribs broken simultaneously, the blood foam he coughed up mixed with Shattered Bone shards.

He looked up at Qin Jiuge, his eyes devoid of their usual arrogance, leaving only extreme terror.

This piece of trash he used to knead at will was now like an Asura from Hell, every movement carrying a lethal ferocity.

Qin Jiuge didn't give them a chance to catch their breath. He grabbed the two by their collars, and with Supersonic Flight, he charged toward the Zheng Family villa.

The wind along the way made their faces numb. Zheng Yunfei begged desperately, his voice broken by the wind: "I was wrong... I'll give the company back to you... Please spare my life!"

He had forgotten how, when the Original Owner knelt in his office begging him to spare the old house left by his parents, he had smiled and ordered security to drag the Original Owner out and throw him into the cold rain.

The Zheng Family villa was brightly lit. Zheng Mingzhe, the father, was drinking with officials. Seeing Qin Jiuge barge in while dragging his son and daughter-in-law, he was furious: "Presumptuous! Do you know who I am?!"

The bodyguards behind him swarmed up, wielding stun batons and machetes toward Qin Jiuge.

Qin Jiuge threw Zheng Yunfei and Su Cheng on the ground, raised his hand to grab the machete of the leading bodyguard, and his Steel Body crushed the blade into scrap iron instantly.

He backhanded the bodyguard into the wall, and the man's brains splattered, dying on the spot.

The remaining bodyguards were terrified, their legs weak, and they turned to run. A crimson flash appeared in Qin Jiuge's eyes.

Laser Eyes instantly shot through the knees of three men. They screamed and fell to their knees, the flesh at their knees instantly melted into charred holes, and they could never stand again.

Zheng Mingzhe was so scared he slumped on the sofa, his glass shattering on the floor.

He finally saw clearly that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, but a god of death he could not afford to offend.

"Money... I'll give you money! One billion! No, ten billion! Please spare our Zheng Family!"

He crawled over to hug Qin Jiuge's leg, but was kicked in the chest by Qin Jiuge, his chest bone collapsed, and he passed out on the spot.

Mother Zheng screamed and lunged over. Qin Jiuge dodged to the side and grabbed her arm with a backhand.

With a gentle twist, her arm bent at an eerie angle, and she rolled on the floor in pain.

This woman had once taken a photo of the Original Owner's mother, mocked her as a "slum bitch" in front of the whole class, and forced the Original Owner to kneel on the playground for an entire afternoon.

Qin Jiuge turned to look at Zheng Yunfei and Su Cheng, who were huddled in the corner.

Zheng Yunfei had long since lost his usual high spirits; his crotch was wet, and the smell of urine mixed with the smell of blood.

Su Cheng's face was twisted in fear, her once exquisite makeup melted like a ghost.

She crawled over and hugged Qin Jiuge's leg, her nails digging into her palms until they bled: "I was wrong... I shouldn't have tricked you for the secrets... I shouldn't have watched you get bullied... Please spare me!"

She had forgotten how, when the Original Owner treated her as the only light in the darkness and saved money to buy her a birthday gift, she had turned around and thrown the gift into the trash can, smiling and saying to Zheng Yunfei: "A poor guy's things are truly disgusting."

Qin Jiuge didn't speak. He bent down to pick up the two, grabbed the unconscious Zheng Mingzhe and the screaming Mother Zheng, and flew toward the Su Family.

Father Su and Mother Su were counting money in the living room. Seeing Qin Jiuge barge in with their bruised daughter and son-in-law, they were terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Just as Father Su was about to call the police, Qin Jiuge had already thrown Zheng Mingzhe at him, and the two collided, breaking ribs and screaming in pain.

Mother Su was a snobbish woman. Back then, to help Su Cheng cling to the Zheng Family, she personally handed the letter the Original Owner wrote to Su Cheng over to Zheng Yunfei, watching as Zheng Yunfei read it out in front of the whole school, crushing the Original Owner's sincere heart to pieces.

At this moment, she knelt on the ground, kowtowing non-stop: "Please spare us... It was all Su Cheng's fault! We cut ties with her!"

She had forgotten how, when the Original Owner's mother passed away, she had smiled and told the neighbors: "Good riddance, saves her from dragging my Su Cheng down."

Qin Jiuge raised his hand, and Laser Eyes shot through the load-bearing wall of the Su residence. The roof began to collapse, and bricks and stones smashed Father Su and Mother Su until they were bleeding.

They covered their heads and hid under the table, crying and begging for mercy. Their former arrogance and harshness had all turned into groveling baseness.

For the next three days, Qin Jiuge took everyone from the Zheng and Su families to every place where the Original Owner had suffered.

In the school alley, he made Zheng Yunfei kneel on the ground and repeat what he had forced the Original Owner to do: bark like a dog, eat rotten vegetables from the ground, and get slapped by passing students.

Zheng Yunfei initially wanted to resist, but Qin Jiuge directly burned a hole in his face with Laser Eyes.

The excruciating pain made him surrender instantly, lying on the ground "woofing," saliva and tears flowing all over the floor.

Su Cheng was tied to a utility pole. Qin Jiuge used Laser Eyes to burn her hair bit by bit, watching her once-proud long hair turn into charred ash.

She cried heart-wrenchingly but dared not resist in the slightest.

She had forgotten how she once smiled watching Zheng Yunfei cut the Original Owner's hair into a Yin and Yang style and forced the Original Owner to run laps around the school.

In front of the Original Owner's parents' graves, Qin Jiuge made everyone from both families kneel on the ground, kowtowing and apologizing non-stop.

Zheng Yunfei's forehead was smashed until it was bloody, Su Cheng's knees were smashed until the bones were exposed, and Zheng Mingzhe and Father Su were knocked unconscious, so Qin Jiuge splashed cold water to wake them up and continued to kowtow.

They kowtowed for a whole day and night until the ground in front of the grave was stained red with blood.

They had forgotten how, at the Original Owner's parents' funeral, they had walked by laughing, not even sending a single flower.

At the convenience store where the Original Owner used to work, Qin Jiuge made Zheng Yunfei and Su Cheng wear tattered clothes, bow and apologize to every customer, and endure the customers' beatings and insults.

Zheng Yunfei was beaten until his face was bloody by a drunkard, and Su Cheng was splashed with coffee by a customer, but the two dared not have the slightest complaint.

They had forgotten how, when the Original Owner worked here, Zheng Yunfei deliberately brought thugs to cause trouble, beat the Original Owner until his nose was bruised and face swollen, and made the boss fire the Original Owner, cutting off his only source of livelihood.

Three days later, Qin Jiuge had played enough. He waved his hand lightly, and a space rift opened.

He brought the six members of the Zheng and Su families to the front of the space rift. The inside of the space was pitch black, and the sharp roars of Goblins could be heard from within.

That was an alien world full of slaughter and torture, where Goblins took pleasure in torturing the weak, and those thrown into the nest would be cursed by Qin Jiuge with immortality, forever enduring the pain of being bitten and humiliated by Goblins.

Zheng Yunfei looked at the Goblin claws reaching out from the rift, trembling all over, struggling desperately: "No! Please don't throw me in! I'd rather die!"

He finally regretted it, regretted bullying the Original Owner back then, regretted causing the death of the Original Owner's parents, but it was too late to say anything now.

Su Cheng's throat was hoarse from crying, tears and snot flowing together: "I was wrong... I was really wrong... Please let me go home..."

She remembered the look in the Original Owner's eyes when he looked at her, so clean, so gentle, yet she had trampled that gentleness underfoot, treating it as a tool for amusement.

Only now did she understand that what she had lost was not a clown she could bully at will, but a person who had truly been good to her.

Zheng Mingzhe and Father Su and Mother Su had long since lost the strength to beg for mercy, just slumped on the ground, looking at the rift with hollow eyes.

They regretted indulging their children in doing evil, regretted using power to oppress others, but in this world, there is no medicine for regret.

Qin Jiuge didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand, and a powerful force pushed all six of them toward the space rift.

The Goblins' roars became clear instantly, and a few Goblins rushed up, grabbed their arms, and dragged them into the rift.

Zheng Yunfei's scream was the most shrill: "I was wrong! Qin Jiuge! I was wrong!"

His voice was swallowed by the rift, leaving only the excited roars of the Goblins.

Su Cheng's crying grew louder and louder; thinking that she would be reduced to a plaything and breeding tool for Goblins for eternity, she felt endless regret and fear!

She finally understood the Original Owner's despair back then, that feeling of calling to heaven with no response, calling to earth with no answer, a pain worse than death.

After all six were dragged into the rift, the space rift closed instantly.

Qin Jiuge stood in place, looking at the empty ground, without making any further moves.

The Original Owner's ten years of pain, the blood feud of two generations, finally concluded at this moment in the most tragic way.
