Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 92
It hardened.
Xu Nian’s fist slowly clenched.
Su Qingya suddenly realized she couldn’t keep letting this little fox have her way.
Otherwise…
She would only become more smug and continue saying things that deserved punishment.
Originally, Su Qingya had intended to reward Xu Nian today—letting her take the initiative while she simply enjoyed being teased.
But now…
There was no reason to indulge her any longer.
Without warning, Su Qingya flipped Xu Nian over.
The difference in their strength was overwhelming.
Xu Nian was effortlessly lifted into the air.
“Pff!”
Su Qingya raised her fluffy tail and firmly pinched the small black star-shaped mark at its base.
A powerful tingling sensation instantly surged through Xu Nian’s entire body.
She bit her lip tightly.
Her tail thrashed wildly.
Her arms and legs flailed helplessly.
“I was wrong!”
“I really was wrong!”
“Please!”
“Let me go!”
Despite all her struggling…
Xu Nian was ultimately defeated by Su Qingya’s counterattack.
Not long afterward, she collapsed onto the bed and drifted into a deep sleep.
Youth truly was wonderful.
They could fall asleep almost instantly.
As expected…
The star really wasn’t something to provoke.
Meanwhile…
Lin Ye suddenly paused in the middle of reviewing documents.
“…Hmm?”
“I feel my control over one of the ritual targets has weakened.”
He slowly raised his head toward his assistant.
The assistant immediately understood.
“I’ll investigate at once.”
A short while later, the assistant returned.
“It appears a Fluxweaver has approached Wu Gensheng.”
“We haven’t identified the person yet.”
“But one thing is certain.”
“They severed your connection with one of the targets.”
Lin Ye quietly listened.
His desire for control rose another notch.
No one…
No one should be able to reject his domination.
Much less erase it.
“Hmph…”
“Interesting.”
“I didn’t expect someone capable of nullifying my ability to appear.”
The assistant lowered his head.
“President…”
“Should I send someone to eliminate them?”
Lin Ye shook his head.
“No.”
“I’ll meet them myself.”
“Someone with such an unusual ability…”
“…is worth seeing.”
“If I can place this person under my control…”
“They’ll become the perfect blade.”
“Especially against those brothers of mine who still harbor ambitions.”
“…Besides.”
“This also serves my ritual.”
“Understood.”
“I’ll arrange an investigation immediately.”
After sleeping soundly…
Xu Nian finally woke up.
The first thing she did was shift her consciousness toward her clone.
As for her real body…
Su Qingya had already helped her wash up.
She barely needed to do anything herself.
The moment her consciousness settled into the clone…
She sensed something unusual.
Near the doorway—
Though still maintaining a respectful distance—
Someone sat quietly.
Lin Ye.
The clone was still wearing yesterday’s clothes.
Since clones neither perspired nor became dirty, Xu Nian hadn’t bothered changing them.
It saved unnecessary effort.
Lin Ye looked at her calmly.
“So…”
“You’re the one who can nullify my ability.”
“Who are you?”
Xu Nian asked.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
“Me?”
“Lin Ye.”
“President of the Lin Group.”
“Stay where you are.”
“I dislike women approaching me.”
“But…”
“I’m quite interested in your ability.”
As he spoke…
His eyes flashed.
Xu Nian instantly recognized the familiar pressure.
He had activated his Domination ability.
Without hesitation…
She secretly activated her disguise ability, making it appear as though the clone had fallen completely under his control.
“…Boring.”
Lin Ye suddenly sighed.
He had only sensed the slightest resistance.
Barely an instant later…
It disappeared entirely.
He had expected an exciting contest of wills.
Instead…
The battle ended before it even began.
“How disappointing.”
“She’s no different from ordinary people.”
“Hmm…”
“Well, she’s only a One-Star Controller.”
“It’s only natural she couldn’t withstand a Three-Star Controller.”
“But…”
“How did someone like her manage to sever the domination I’d placed on those people?”
No matter how much he thought about it…
He couldn’t understand.
So…
He simply decided to let her explain.
The clone obediently spoke,
“I secretly approached those people while disguised as a cleaner.”
“I used my Fear ability to dispel the influence placed upon them.”
Throughout the explanation…
Lin Ye never noticed anything unusual.
“So…”
“You’re from the Fear Path.”
“Yes.”
“A fear ability capable of breaking others free from control…”
“Interesting.”
“What a pity.”
“Such a useful blade…”
“…should belong to me.”
Xu Nian looked directly at him.
“And you’re from the Domination Path?”
Lin Ye let out a contemptuous chuckle.
“Obviously.”
He regarded Xu Nian with mild amusement.
Someone possessing an unusual ability deserved a second glance.
Nothing more.
Then Xu Nian suddenly asked,
“Have you ever experienced your own power failing?”
Lin Ye frowned.
“…What do you mean?”
“I’m simply curious.”
“If one day…”
“Your ability suddenly stopped working.”
“Would you feel afraid?”
“Would you still possess the confidence you have now?”
Silence.
Then…
A smile slowly spread across Lin Ye’s face.
“Very good.”
“You’ve successfully irritated me.”
“But I won’t punish you.”
“That’s my generosity.”
As a Controller…
One needed a certain degree of tolerance toward subordinates.
After all…
No matter how they struggled…
They remained ants beneath his hand.
The question she’d asked…
Sounded no more than innocent curiosity.
Nothing else.
“I’ll never betray power.”
“I only acknowledge strength worthy of admiration.”
“As for weaklings relying upon others…”
He stood up.
“Curiosity isn’t a virtue.”
“Remember the saying.”
“Curiosity killed the cat.”
“Be careful.”
“One day your curiosity may cost you your life.”
He turned toward the door.
“Since you’ve joined Wu Gensheng’s side…”
“Do your job.”
“Monitor him.”
“I want every movement reported.”
“Yes.”
Xu Nian answered without hesitation.
Their conversation ended.
Lin Ye walked toward the exit.
As he stepped outside…
A single thought lingered in his mind.
My power… failing?
If such a day truly arrived…
Even he…
Would probably experience genuine fear.
Ridiculous.
What a meaningless assumption.
The door closed.
His footsteps gradually faded.
Inside the room…
Xu Nian quietly stared after him.
Then…
The corners of her lips slowly curled upward.
Her eyes sparkled.
She could barely suppress the laughter bubbling inside her chest.
He thought about it.
He actually imagined it.
That meant…
He had accepted the possibility.
“Hahaha…”
Xu Nian covered her mouth.
Her shoulders trembled.
The more she imagined Lin Ye one day discovering that his Domination no longer worked…
Watching everything collapse…
Watching himself descend into despair…
The harder it became to contain herself.
“He believed it…”
“He really believed it…”
“He actually believed it.”
Joy overflowed uncontrollably.
Her laughter echoed softly throughout the empty room.
The first seed of fear…
Had already been planted inside Lin Ye’s heart.
