With the jade token in his possession, there was actually no need to fight for anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the jade token returned to its place, he would be able to control the entire Human Sovereign Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the inheritance grounds, Xu Zimo arrived at Mist City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the timing, the five major powers should arrive by tomorrow. There was no need to wait long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo originally planned to rent a room at an inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the entire Mist City had no vacant rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the emergence of the Human Sovereign Palace, countless people had gathered here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Mist City was the closest city to the Human Sovereign Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being overcrowded was to be expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you trying to do? Don’t go too far!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud shout suddenly rang out from the side of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was drawn by the sound and quickly looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wide street, three burly men were surrounding two people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One old, one young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man seemed to be some kind of servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the youth, his appearance was strikingly exotic, even somewhat androgynous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to tell whether he was male or female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man, you stepped on my shoe and think you can just walk away?” one of the burly men said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three men were all powerfully built, like towering brown bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had shaved heads and looked fierce and menacing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was their clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black, white, and red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All wore sleeveless vests, exposing their bulging muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, I won’t argue with you over this matter. Please leave quickly,” the old man said hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old bastard, are you stupid?” the burly man sneered. “You stepped on us, and now you’re saying you won’t argue with us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems we’ve been too gentle with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to live, then leave immediately. The farther, the better,” the old man said anxiously, even beginning to push the three men away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the middle grew angry and swung his arm, sending the old man flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, old fool, you’re courting death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man fell to the ground, looking weak and injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the youth, who had remained silent the entire time, slowly crouch down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved to the old man’s side and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Liu, you see? Reason is useless. What this world needs is slaughter. Blood. Corpses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth grew more and more unhinged as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>",1346,"2026-06-06T01:07:28.720Z",1,"novelbin.me","bb5d2c6a4e047c89018e04aa01bcfe10a6f537a45a4eaf7731d211ee8cec4d04","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1682","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1680",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
