Chen Haoxuan was living a happy life in Chen Family Village, and both others and he himself felt the same. He wanted to lead a joyful life, but there was someone who wished otherwise. This person harbored a deep hatred for Chen Haoxuan, wanting nothing less than to drink his blood, skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and gnaw on his bones. This person was the Black Rose, who had lost everything—her family business and her loved ones—because of Chen Haoxuan.
In her quest for revenge, Black Rose struggled to survive. After escaping from Nameless Island, she went to Y Degree to study the world's most potent poisons, intending to use them for her vengeance. She knew that Chen Haoxuan was surrounded by many bodyguards and that her skills were formidable; even Chen Haoxuan would not be her match. However, she understood that one person could not easily defeat many. If her first assassination attempt on Chen Haoxuan failed, it would alert him. Therefore, she bided her time until she perfected her deadly poison before leaving Y Degree.
The poison she developed was primarily based on the venom of the black widow spider, supplemented with snake venom and toxic plants. When she created this poison, she tested it on various animals; any creature that came into contact with it would die within five seconds. Once, she even experimented in the ocean by dropping a single drop of the toxin into the water. She observed that all fish within a thousand meters around her location perished, leaving the surface littered with dead fish. This success gave Black Rose more confidence in dealing with Chen Haoxuan.
If Black Rose had informed Chen Haoxuan beforehand about her intentions to use poison against him, he might have felt reassured. He had encountered many poisons before, all laid by those who wished him harm. He had even tested some on himself without any adverse effects; thus, he feared poison the least.
What Black Rose did not know was that Chen Haoxuan was no longer the same person he used to be; his personal strength now surpassed hers by more than tenfold. While she had considered that his abilities might have improved over time, she could never have imagined just how drastically they had increased. Had she known his current power level, she might have devised a different plan for revenge.
Black Rose employed disguise techniques and dressed as a beautiful woman to blend into Chen Family Village. She wandered around daily not out of fondness for the village but in hopes of encountering Chen Haoxuan. If he did not come out, it would be difficult for her to poison him.
After two days in Chen Family Village, Black Rose finally crossed paths with Chen Haoxuan as he stepped outside. She stealthily followed him, realizing that the farther he moved from his villa, the greater her opportunity to strike.
Today, Chen Haoxuan intended to inspect the medicinal herbs grown in Chen Family Village since it was time for harvest. If they were ripe, he would send people to purchase them.
As Chen Haoxuan walked through the fields, Black Rose noticed that there were few people around and decided it was time to act. Carefully putting on two black gloves smeared with deadly poison—any contact would guarantee death—she approached him boldly. She believed that walking openly would lead Chen Haoxuan to mistake her for a tourist.
There were indeed many visitors enjoying the fields, so Chen Haoxuan paid little attention to anyone following behind him.
As Black Rose neared him, she made her move quickly; she aimed to choke him by grabbing his neck directly. With no clothing obstructing his skin, if her poisoned gloves touched him even slightly, it would mean his end.
Suddenly sensing danger from behind, Chen Haoxuan instinctively turned around without hesitation; he knew he could not gamble with his life.
The Black Rose missed her strike, and in a fit of anger, she let out a soft cry, turned around, and quickly advanced, throwing a punch at Chen Haoxuan. She was eager for a fistfight with him; if that happened, Chen Haoxuan would be doomed.
Chen Haoxuan was unaware that the gloves worn by the Black Rose were laced with deadly poison. He was furious, believing that anyone who was ambushed would be unhappy. He was no longer the same Chen Haoxuan from before; his strength was unmatched in this world. He unleashed a powerful punch that sliced through the air with a whooshing sound. With a loud thud, his fist collided with the Black Rose's hand, shattering her entire right hand and breaking her bones into several pieces.
The Black Rose's hand was crushed by the force of Chen Haoxuan's punch, demonstrating just how ruthless he could be against his enemies.
With her right hand gone and blood streaming from her shoulder, the Black Rose did not react like an ordinary person in pain; instead, she laughed maniacally. "Hahaha... Chen Haoxuan, you're finished! I'm going to send you down to join my father."
Chen Haoxuan was taken aback. He was unharmed while she had lost a hand; how could she say he was doomed? It should be her who was finished. "Hey, are you out of your mind? I'm perfectly fine, and you've lost a hand! How can you laugh at me being doomed? You must be crazy!" he questioned with a puzzled expression.
The Black Rose had great confidence in the poison she had developed. She believed that Chen Haoxuan would not survive, so she wasn't afraid of revealing her identity to him. She tore off the mask covering her face with her left hand and grinned wickedly at him. "Chen Haoxuan, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I'm the Black Rose you pretended to pursue back then. I said you're finished, and you definitely won't survive because my gloves are coated with deadly poison. This poison took me a long time to create; any living being that comes into contact with it will die within five seconds. You haven't died yet, which might mean your body has some resistance, but it won't matter. In just a few minutes, you'll still fall into Death's embrace."
Chen Haoxuan felt no surprise at all because he had known the Black Rose would come for revenge; he just didn't know when she would strike. Hearing her words made him smile; he was immune to all poisons. The fact that the Black Rose thought she could use poison against him was like showing off a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
"Black Rose, I really feel like you're quite foolish! You didn't realize how many times you tried to poison me before and even sent a Poison King after me, yet I came out unscathed. In fact, sending experts after me caused more harm to yourselves for one simple reason: I’m not afraid of poison—whether it's mild or lethal." Chen Haoxuan said with an expression of disappointment.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you not fear such powerful poison? How is that possible..." The Black Rose clutched her hair with her left hand and repeated herself in madness. Indeed, she had spent so much time developing what she believed to be the world's deadliest poison that no one could counteract it; those who were infected would die. Yet Chen Haoxuan remained unharmed and mocked her poison as ineffective—this blow to her confidence was devastating.
Chen Haoxuan didn't care whether the Black Rose had gone mad; anyone who wanted to kill him wouldn't be allowed to live in this world. If they had a powerful backing, he might spare them temporarily until he gained enough strength for revenge. But now the Black Rose was alone and had nothing; he had nothing to fear from her. Moreover, as a member of the Dragon Group, it was his duty to deal with villains, so he couldn't allow the Black Rose to see Tomorrow's Sun today.
With a loud roar, Chen Haoxuan declared, "If you want to die, don't blame me! Be a good person in your next life!" After saying this, he quickly stepped forward, his right hand clawing toward the Black Rose's neck.
The Black Rose slowly closed her eyes; she already knew she was no match for Chen Haoxuan. His earlier punch had already demonstrated his strength. Now that she had lost a hand, escaping from his grasp would be nearly impossible.
Black Rose closed her eyes, intending to embrace death. Despite this, Chen Haoxuan showed no mercy. Today, Black Rose was dealing with him alone, which was fortunate. If Chen Haoxuan let her go this time, she would target Chen Yina and the others in the future. If that happened, Chen Haoxuan would feel guilty for the rest of his life, so he absolutely could not let Black Rose go.
Chen Haoxuan's hand gripped Black Rose's neck; he applied a slight force and then twisted sharply. With a crisp snap, Black Rose's neck was broken by Chen Haoxuan. As soon as he released her, her body collapsed to the ground.
Chen Haoxuan was now in a field, surrounded by no one, but there were villagers in the distance! At least a dozen villagers had witnessed him commit murder, including several tourists, and some had already begun pulling out their phones to call the police.
Unaware that someone had already reported the incident, Chen Haoxuan took out his phone and dialed 110. He was not turning himself in; he was calling the police to handle Black Rose's body.
Since it was Chen Haoxuan who committed the murder, the mayor of New City personally came to the scene. The mayor couldn't understand how someone of Chen Haoxuan's status could commit murder; wasn't this self-sabotage?
Very few people knew about Chen Haoxuan's identity. People from the Dragon Group were like that; they would not reveal their Dragon Group credentials unless absolutely necessary. When the mayor arrived, Chen Haoxuan handed over his Dragon Group member ID. The mayor looked at it and was instantly shocked into silence.
A member of the Dragon Group! This official had a higher rank than him. If he were caught accepting bribes by Chen Haoxuan, Chen Haoxuan had the power to immediately revoke his position. This demonstrated just how powerful a member of the Dragon Group was. Most importantly, as long as there was sufficient evidence, members of the Dragon Group had the authority to act first and report later. Chen Haoxuan revealed Black Rose's identity, her motive for attempting to assassinate him, and various pieces of evidence. As a result, nothing happened to Chen Haoxuan; he didn't even have to go to the police station.
Chen Family Village was destined for an extraordinary day; every villager was discussing Chen Haoxuan's situation. Whenever he went out for a walk, everyone would immediately avoid him as if they were afraid of a plague god. This left Chen Haoxuan feeling quite speechless.
