Chapter 2872: Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day 33?

The bodyguard standing beside the metal door was shaken away, slammed into the opposite wall; the door frame Distorted deformed, and the wires flickered with sparks.

Amid the swirling smoke and dust, Jin Chen burst in.

He seemed to have barely lifted a finger, his clothes not even ruffled; only the black hair at his forehead fluttered slightly from the recent burst of power, his face showing little expression, behind him stood beastman bodyguards with ashen faces.

They had obviously tried to block him, so their eyes held only fear, their bodies trembling slightly, unable even to stand straight.

The big boss narrowed his eyes.

He had spent years in the underground arena, having seen every vicious, uncanny beastman there is?

Bloodthirsty werewolves, violent bear tribes—but none could give him this sense of oppression.

"This human named Jin Chen is no ordinary person. The secretary was right after all."

"You are Jin Chen."

Jin Chen's gaze swept straight past him and landed on the bound Yun Jian.

Yun Jian still knelt on the ground, his wrists and ankles cuffed in shackles, head lowered, dark brown curls falling to cover half his face.

But the instant Jin Chen looked his way, Yun Jian's body twitched, and he slowly lifted his head.

The big boss obviously noticed Yun Jian's change, chuckled, stepped forward two paces, and stood between Yun Jian and Jin Chen, deliberately blocking their view.

"Too bad, you came too late, and for nothing."

The big boss spoke, his voice laced with malicious delight: "Do you know? That rabbit you've been longing for isn't pregnant at all."

"A farce staged by his own delusional fantasies and ridiculous desires—a madman who can't tell reality from hallucination—is it worth you opposing the underground arena for?"

"I know, Boss Jin, you're capable, but don't do something stupid."

As his words fell, Yun Jian's body grew more rigid, avoiding Jin Chen's gaze.

He felt the vague bloating pain in his abdomen sharpen, as if a knife were slowly stirring inside.

His eyes were fixed, unblinking, staring hard at the ground, waiting for Jin Chen's reaction.

Would Jin Chen be disappointed, would he despise him, would he… also find him ridiculous?

Jin Chen's face indeed grew cold as he looked at the big boss, as if looking at a corpse.

"I know."

Yun Jian froze, as if he hadn't heard clearly; after two seconds his downcast eyes lifted again, faintly glowing.

Jin Chen knew……

Jin Chen had always known he was faking pregnancy?

Then why… why did he still indulge him, coax him.

The big boss's: "……"

He hadn't expected Jin Chen to react this way.

The big boss's voice turned cold; he stepped back, gestured to the surrounding bodyguards, and said, "Fine, fine! You know? That's really too bad! Since you like this madman so much and want to be with him, then die with him here!"

Another wave of bodyguards rushed forward, moving swiftly, their sharp claws glinting coldly, the foul beastly odor mingling, nauseating.

They lunged at Jin Chen.

And just then……

The chains snapped.

The shackles on Yun Jian's wrist, used to suppress his beastman strength, were forcibly broken; metal fragments sprayed, tearing his wrist skin, and blood dripped down his pale wrist onto the floor.

But he seemed to feel no pain; the aura of a high-ranking beastman radiated from him, slamming hard into each beastman lunging at Jin Chen.

The few beastman bodyguards at the forefront, like hitting an invisible wall, were violently flung outward, smashing into the walls.

"Yun Jian!"

Jin Chen shouted sharply, yet he couldn't stop him.

No one saw clearly how Yun Jian broke free of his ankle shackles or how he appeared behind the big boss.

By the time everyone reacted, Yun Jian was already standing behind the big boss.

A hand pierced through the big boss's chest from behind.

That hand was clean, long-fingered, even somewhat delicate, but now it protruded from the big boss's front chest, fingers splayed, fingertips dripping warm blood.

The big boss lowered his head, disbelievingly staring at the hand thrusting out of his chest; he opened his mouth, and only great gulps of blood poured out.

He collapsed.

In the secret chamber, only deathly silence remained.

The surviving beastman bodyguards froze in place, still holding their attack or defensive stances, yet they stared fixedly at the big boss's corpse on the floor, then slowly crept toward Yun Jian, who stood beside the body.

Yun Jian's hand hung at his side; he lifted his eyes, his blood-red pupils sweeping over everyone in the chamber.

"Anyone who dares move against Jin Chen will die alongside your boss."

"Now that's settled—no one dares to move."

Yun Jian turned and walked toward Jin Chen, his steps a little unsteady.

That blow had drained most of his strength; the weakness from his false pregnancy and the abdominal bloating surged forth together.

Jin Chen reached out, caught him, and held him steady in his arms, palm pressed against his back, feeling his slight tremors and cold sweat.

He lowered his head and lightly kissed Yun Jian's sweat-damp forehead, then muttered sternly, "Showing off."

Yun Jian leaned into his embrace and whispered, "…I said I'd protect you."

Yun Jian kissed the corner of Jin Chen's lips, then, summoning his strength, straightened his posture.

He turned, looked at the big boss's corpse on the ground, bent to pick up the red mask that signified his identity, still smeared with warm blood.

Yun Jian stared at the mask for a few seconds, then clenched his fingers.

——Crack.

The mask was crushed to powder in his hand, mixing into the pool of blood.

Then, Yun Jian lifted his foot and stepped onto it.

Beside him lay the corpse of the big boss still bleeding, the blood already spreading to his feet.

Yun Jian only held Jin Chen's hand, slowly raised his head, and looked toward the door where more and more beastmen rushed in upon hearing the sound.

They were the administrators of other areas of the underground arena, elites, and even a few high-ranking beastmen who usually kept out of sight.

Yun Jian looked at them and said, "According to the rules, I should sit firmly in this position."

Inside and outside the secret chamber, all was deathly silent.

The underground arena indeed had an unwritten rule: the victor is king, the strong are revered.

The big boss died, dying in the most common bloody way during the transition of old and new power.

And the person who killed him stood there, proclaiming his victory and takeover.

But no one expected that the one who killed the big boss would be a rabbit beastman.

A herbivorous, appearing gentle and harmless rabbit beastman.

Silence lasted for a full ten or so seconds.
