The more you care, the more they can exploit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the waiter codenamed \"Number Four\" stood before Lu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed slightly, appearing humble, yet his feet subtly positioned themselves to block Lu Ce's path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple mask tilted up, giving him a meaningful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four and those behind him had anticipated ten thousand possible scenarios, but none prepared them for Lu Ce's next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce struck like lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the slap coming toward his face, his expression changed dramatically as he jerked his head back and slid his feet to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That movement clearly wasn't something an ordinary person could make!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling him a special agent would be an understatement - this person might very well be a player!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four dodged Lu Ce's \"attack\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to dodge \"Sin's\" attack definitely marked him as highly skilled, but he soon realized something was wrong - that wasn't an attack at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he jerked his head back, the earpiece on his ear disappeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce looked at him mockingly, weighing the object in his hand before bringing the earpiece to his own mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence from the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not going to say anything? Shouldn't you people be dying to talk to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce spoke with genuine curiosity while holding the earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat broke out on Number Four's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, could you return my earpiece? If you need anything, we provide all kinds of electronic devices here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" The purple mask gave him a sidelong glance. \"What's wrong? Without someone whispering in your ear, don't know what to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must have misunderstood. This is just a communication device our service team uses for unified coordination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What exactly did I misunderstand? Wasn't that precisely what I meant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the earpiece, the operatives gritted their teeth, completely unprepared for this turn of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he just snatch the earpiece for no reason?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he notice something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, doesn't matter - it's too late now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... could you please return the earpiece first—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce applied pressure with two fingers as if crushing a piece of dough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight rub, the earpiece instantly turned into a pinch of fine sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What earpiece?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, most of the players who had come to the island with them had found seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With free food and drinks outside, the East Sea Debate could wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, there seemed to be some juicy gossip involving the strongest player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's nothing else, don't block the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lu Ce continued forward, and Number Four instinctively stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he suddenly remembered his mission, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screw it - without orders, he'd have to improvise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing how much \"Sin\" cared about that woman, his primary task now was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To anger the other party while maintaining absolute politeness and subservience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting in front with a sidestep, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me sir, is there something you need? Perhaps I can assist you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce ignored him and kept walking. Number Four naturally didn't dare let their bodies collide, so he kept pace while continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, but may I see your invitation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you weren't invited, you're still welcome to use our complimentary entertainment facilities, but in principle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four kept talking nonstop as he chased after Lu Ce with his tray, creating quite a ridiculous sight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tower is reserved for our distinguished guests. You cannot enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, today is our young lady's engagement banquet. We wouldn't want any disturbances from uninvited guests!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much deliberation, Number Four stared intently at \"Sin's\" mask and emphasized the words \"engagement banquet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the mask, Lu Ce's lips curled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What clumsy provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to outsiders, he genuinely stopped and looked at Number Four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I being... too gentle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his persistent obstruction had finally produced results, he sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't actually have their people physically block the way - that would ruin the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, the target seemed properly provoked now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mission was accomplished; it was about time to make his exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I can basically confirm you weren't invited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We hope you'll respect our rules and not disrupt the atmosphere of our engagement banquet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" Lu Ce looked at him and sighed deeply. \"You know, I'm actually quite particular about cleanliness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don't want to dirty myself. I'll give you one more chance - a rare opportunity. Are you sure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Four had no idea what this \"opportunity\" referred to. From the corner of his eye, he saw his backup teammates arriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cameras were trained on them - showtime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sure!\" Number Four replied with righteous conviction, though he wasn't sure what exactly he was affirming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he watched in confusion as the man opposite him placed a hand on his mask and lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked up again, the mask's shape remained unchanged, but its color had shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a pale green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Wrath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the color suddenly change?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This became the final question in Number Four's mind during his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hell's Roar rose like lightning, pressing against his forehead. The next instant, it unleashed a roar from hell itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sunlight's silhouette, it looked like a watermelon being pierced, split open, and spraying its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's hurry this game along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",995,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2673f546c7fc5916bd24791a429a3596934338ccf68b9cb07de67ef9fbe4a9e","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-347","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-345",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
