Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 285: Chapter 186: Death Meeting with Gastella (Part 2)_3

Bai Zini had finished speaking and without turning her head, walked back into her room.

Ke Yinzhi spread his hands and said, “Mingye, if you hadn’t let mom confiscate my phone, I would have secretly messaged Dad to come home by now, served you right.”

Ke Mingye sneered, “Then I’d rather stand with you, this lowlife, a little longer, let’s go down together.”

Ke Xiaomo took a deep breath, “Please stop fighting. I don’t want to stand with you all night.”

“Alright… seeing you so pitiful, I’ll sneak downstairs and call Dad.”

Bai Zini said, then quietly slipped out of her room, bending over as she started her stealth mission, inching step by step toward the staircase.

The three brothers held their breath, pinning their hopes on her retreating figure, fearing that their breathing would disturb her sneaking.

However, in less than two seconds she froze in her steps under Bai Wenna’s scolding, trembling all over.

“Bai Zini, aren’t you going to sleep, but going downstairs to watch TV?!”

“No, mom, it’s all my third brother’s doing. He said he was bored standing, asking me to go downstairs and get a cellphone for him to play with!”

Bai Zini stammered her response, then quickly darted back to her room, peeking through the door gap with a “I’m not not helping, I just can’t do it!” look of pitiful eyes at the others, before she closed the door once more without another sound.

Ke Yinzhi shook his head and chuckled;

Ke Xiaomo couldn’t help but smile;

Only Ke Mingye really couldn’t find it funny.

“I’m really fed up, not only a quick death but also betraying your teammates?” he sighed, holding his forehead.

Bai Wenna walked out from her room, her tone icy as she interrogated, “You can’t stand honestly during a punishment, instructing your sister to sneakily fetch the phone for you?”

“Pure slander,” Ke Mingye hurriedly explained, “My second brother and elder brother can testify.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Ke Xiaomo and Ke Yinzhi. However, both turned away their gazes left and right, respectively–it seemed that between the protector-brother and protector-sister sides, they chose to support their sister.

“Man, I really can’t stand this family anymore, not a single decent person…”

Ke Mingye lamented hopelessly.

Feeling utterly isolated, as he was contemplating how to kneel and apologize to his mother, suddenly the sound of the door opening came from downstairs.

Click-click!

Such a crisp and pleasant sound seemed to blossom next to Ke Mingye’s ears.

Soon, their dad, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, came upstairs, glanced emotionlessly at the three of them, sighed, and then turned to say a few good words to Bai Wenna.

Following that, under the barrage like “Look at what the kids have turned into because you’re always away from home,” “Do they seem like they’ll become successful people in the future?” “If you don’t intervene now, what will this family turn into?” he finally managed to give the three a way out, finally allowing them to escape from Bai Wenna’s clutches.

Ke Mingye was the first to rush into the washroom, freshened up in front of the mirror, then quickly walked back to his room, lay on his bed, took a long sigh of relief, and picked up the spare phone that was by his pillow.

He unlocked the screen and opened the call log.

Sure enough, he had received a bunch of missed calls from Che Zhengchen, but the phone was set to silent, so there were no alert sounds.

He then clicked into the message page and saw the texts from Che Zhengchen’s number had piled up, casually opening two or three of them to see.

[Che Zhengchen: Are you alright?]

[Che Zhengchen: Blue Owl, are you still alive? If you get this message, please respond.]

[Che Zhengchen: Bai Yi said you were also seriously injured, why didn’t you wait for the Association’s rescue team to arrive before leaving the scene, it wouldn’t be too late to report to the Association before going back.]

[Che Zhengchen: I mean no blame, but if you are safely unharmed now, please respond to my messages quickly, your teammates and I are very worried about you…]

This was the first time Che Zhengchen had sent him a message, probably had remembered his backup phone number from the last time.

Fortunately, this phone number was bought off the dark web, untraceable by telecom services. Plus, Cai Bing had made further assurances, so there was no need to worry about information leakages.

But just to be safe, Ke Mingye still activated the “Spider Man Flirting App” designed by Cai Bing, entered Che Zhengchen’s number into the communication list of the APP, then replied to his texts.

By doing so, the possibility of his location being tracked was further decreased.

[Blue Owl: I’m fine. Any problems with Bai Yi and the others, I see Pioneer and the Nun were badly injured. Especially Pioneer, he even lost a hand.]

[Che Zhengchen: Glad you’re fine. They’re okay. Pioneer is a mechanized man, he just needs a new arm attached.]

[Che Zhengchen: I couldn’t reach you on the phone earlier, why didn’t you answer?]

[Blue Owl: I was on my way home just now, didn’t have time to answer.]

[Che Zhengchen: I didn’t expect Dice Monster to suddenly appear, I should have anticipated it earlier, this mishap is my fault.]

[Blue Owl: No, nobody knows what that thing is thinking, this is definitely not your fault.]

[Blue Owl: Commander, let’s talk more when I get to the Association Building tomorrow. I need to tend to my wounds, hanging up first.]

After sending this message, Ke Mingye stuffed the spare phone under his pillow, casually turned off the light, and slowly closed his eyelids.

Then, another silent night passed.

…..

July 11th, five o’clock in the morning.
