167: Don't blame others for your lack of ability

Lu Duoxin was so smug his tail was practically wagging to the heavens. “You’re unwilling to give up the shares, right? Well, you’ve missed your chance!”

He immediately pressed the button in his hand!

Everyone on the scene suddenly widened their eyes.

The more timid ones covered their heads and ducked.

Only Chen Tianming remained standing calmly in place.

There wasn't a hint of panic on his face.

Instead, a triumphant smile now graced his lips.

The moment his eyes met Chen Tianming’s,

Lu Duoxin actually felt a hint of fear in his heart.

Why? He was clearly in control now.

Why could Chen Tianming still wear that expression on his face?

And soon, reality slapped Lu Duoxin hard across the face.

The expected explosion did not come.

Silence reigned all around.

The quietness was somewhat eerie.

“This… this is impossible…”

Lu Duoxin was utterly shocked.

He immediately gripped the remote control in his hand and pressed it frantically.

But the explosives he had set up showed no sign of detonating.

At this moment, Chen Tianming’s ears were filled with the system’s frantic prompts.

“Protagonist Lu Duoxin is doubting his life, Devil's Value +782.”

“Protagonist Lu Duoxin hates you to the bone, Devil's Value +893.”

“Protagonist Lu Duoxin is doubting his life, Devil's Value +673.”

This guy’s luck was almost at its end.

A playful smile appeared on Chen Tianming’s face. “With such limited ability, you still want to trouble me?”

After speaking, Chen Tianming immediately shouted, “How many years in prison for privately possessing explosives in the city center?”

Gao Zhiman and Yan Yu, who had been hiding in the corner all along, could finally speak.

“Probably a lifetime of reflection inside.”

“Maybe more, after all, he also took so many people hostage.”

Chen Tianming sneered.

He had long guessed that Lu Duoxin and his group wouldn’t surrender obediently without any resistance.

That’s why he had people carefully guarding.

He didn’t expect them to be so bold, yet so foolish.

“Your mechanism has already been destroyed by my people. Surrender immediately.”

Chen Tianming took a step, slowly walking towards the two.

Gu Yuan, who was beside Lu Duoxin, was already scared stiff.

This Chen Tianming, was he really that strong? Able to perceive their plan in advance?

Gu Yuan’s heart was conflicted.

Looking at Chen Tianming’s handsome face again, she felt a hint of regret.

The opponent’s power was almost terrifying.

And he possessed a handsome face.

Why did she choose to be an enemy of such a person?

Before Gu Yuan could figure out why in her heart,

Lu Duoxin beside her had completely lost his composure.

No, he absolutely couldn't let Chen Tianming capture him!

He was the man with the sudden wealth system; as long as he could escape smoothly today, wouldn't a comeback be as easy as pie?

Lu Duoxin hardened his heart and directly pushed Gu Yuan fiercely towards Chen Tianming.

Gu Yuan was startled.

She was wearing a pair of high heels at the moment!

She immediately lost her balance.

And fell heavily to the ground!

The trust she had painstakingly built with Lu Duoxin instantly turned to nothing at this moment!

This man actually used her as a scapegoat to escape!

Gu Yuan felt a surge of resentment.

Suddenly, a warm hand pulled her into an embrace.

This prevented her from having intimate contact with the ground.

He carried a pleasant scent, and they were so close at that moment.

Gu Yuan’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

And soon, Chen Tianming’s magnetic voice came through.

“Luckily, you weren’t hurt…”

Was he concerned about her?

Soon, Chen Tianming helped her stand steadily.

“Look at the kind of people you trust; you don’t even keep your eyes open.”

Facing Chen Tianming’s soft scolding, Gu Yuan felt no indignation in her heart at this moment.

Instead, she felt a warmth…

Watching a layer of black mist rise above Gu Yuan’s head, Chen Tianming slightly narrowed his eyes.

He didn't expect that the dignified Gu family's young lady would fall for this.

However, he hadn't forgotten the most important matter at hand.

“Once I catch him, I’ll settle the score with you.”

After leaving this remark, Chen Tianming immediately got into the car. “Others handle the scene; wait for me to return!”

Lu Duoxin’s luck was nearing its end.

It was the best time to get rid of him!

At this moment, no one else could interfere.

The remaining people originally wanted to go together.

Upon hearing Chen Tianming’s words, they immediately stood in place.

However, Wan Yue followed him at an extremely fast pace.

“What are you doing here?”

Chen Tianming frowned slightly.

“Wherever you go, I go.”

Listening to Wan Yue’s words, Chen Tianming felt a hint of warmth in his heart.

She didn't even have a viable identity in this world, so letting her follow along was fine.

Chen Tianming pressed the accelerator and drove the car out.

City Village, inside an abandoned factory.

Darkness surrounded them, with only the moon still hanging in the sky, casting faint light.

In a corner of the construction site, Lu Duoxin was panting heavily.

He should have shaken off Chen Tianming and his group.

“Damn it, to think he detected it so early…”

Lu Duoxin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But luckily, he got his life back and wasn't caught by them.

Otherwise, he didn't know what kind of outcome awaited him.

“I can’t stay here any longer; I need to leave quickly.”

Just as he was pondering.

A large hand suddenly rested on his shoulder!

Lu Duoxin was startled.

He turned his head and saw Chen Tianming standing behind him!

His heart, which had just calmed down, immediately jumped into his throat.

His eyes were now wide open.

“I already… How did you catch up?”

The area was empty and deserted.

Silence reigned all around.

Chen Tianming could even hear his heavy breathing due to unease, and the violent thumping of his heart.

“To deliberately make trouble for me and expect to escape unscathed? Daydreaming!”

Chen Tianming pressed closer, directly forcing him to the high ground of the construction site.

“Your ability is still insufficient. No matter how powerful an ability you’re given, you’re only fit to be trash in front of me.”

Lu Duoxin’s eyes suddenly widened.

“You are…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Tianming made his move!

He reached out and pushed Lu Duoxin directly from the high place!

Along with the sound from below, Chen Tianming finally heard that pleasant sound.

“Ding! Protagonist Lu Duoxin died with his eyes wide open, Devil's Value +1000.”

“Detected that the host has successfully killed the child of destiny!”

“Host Devil's Value +2000.”

“Detected that the child of destiny has a system; it has now been devoured for system upgrade…”

Chen Tianming’s heart was filled with wild joy.

If he remembered correctly, the experience he had accumulated was enough for an upgrade.

Suddenly, the mechanical, cold voice came again.

“Ding! System upgrade successful!”

“After this upgrade, the system will automatically unlock the Five Elements Fusion Technique!”

“Five Elements Fusion Technique Level One: Can freely change Five Elements attributes, temporarily change Feng Shui aura, and adjust luck.”

This was the Five Elements Fusion!
