Chen Fan didn’t return to his room right away; instead, he walked along the hallway and made his way to the top deck. The Swan Princess was a multi-layered behemoth that weighed over a few thousand tons. The sun had set a few hours ago, so no one was walking about on the deck at this hour. People were either conversing in private quarters or engaging in intimate activities under the bedsheets.

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and looked at the distant s.h.i.+ning jewels on the sh.o.r.e of Victoria Bay. The sight would be more gorgeous up close, but Chen Fan’s vision was ten times sharper than an ordinary person, therefore, he could see everything: from the neon lights to the bustling dock hands, people finis.h.i.+ng their jobs at the dock.

Sweat glided down from their foreheads; scorched by the sun, their skin was darker than the night, a symbol of their low social status. However, in Chen Fan’s eyes, they were much more respectable and honorable men and women than Nie Shunchen.

Chen Fan was a man of the people, despite his wealth and power, he felt related to those who worked hard and lived a humble life. He had always wanted to revisit earth during the five hundred years of cultivation and to be reunited with the working-cla.s.s people on earth who had labored and sweated. People such as Nie Shunchen had no place in Chen Fan’s heart. He was just an insect, and he would kill as many of these worthless parasites as he could.

“I understand you guys have questions, you may ask me now.” Chen Fan looked back and saw Qiu Yilun and the other teenagers. Confusion and questions were written all over their faces. He managed to squeeze out a smile and said: “Don’t worry, you guys are my friends, I won’t treat you like Nie Shunchen.”

Qiu Yilun and the others were shocked by what they heard.

Liu Xiaojin hazarded: “So… you are saying that you killed Nie Shunchen?”

“Yes, and no.” Chen Fan shrugged. “He was about to die pretty soon, but I have saved him from waiting.”

Chen Fan recalled that in his past life, he had met the young heir of the Hua Yi Entertainment as the new owner of the Jin Xiu Group at banquets. By then, Nie Shunchen had also inherited the Hua Yi Entertainment and became an ever more influential heavyweight in the entertainment industry.

Rumor had it that a new rising called Xu Rongfei had offended a few top dogs in the industry and Nie Shunchen was one of them. After Xu Rongfei was blacklisted by the industry, the paparazzi magazines heaped groundless slander on her. In the end, the girl chose to end her life after being unable to handle the stress. Nie Shunchen was one of the vile men who orchestrated the death of the beautiful and innocent girl. Karma was a b.i.t.c.h, After a while, Nie Shunchen’s luck finally ran out and many scandals such as his s.e.xual abuse of actresses and murdering of his rivals were exposed by the media. In the end, he was thrown in jail and remained there for the rest of his life.

Since Chen Fan was quite removed from the entertainment industry in his last life, Chen Fan was not sure if Nie Shunchen really was involved in Xu Rongfei’s death. However, he still didn’t feel bad about killing Nie Shunchen. After all, Nie Shunchen had threatened to throw him and his friends off the s.h.i.+p.

If Chen Fan was an ordinary man instead of an immortal cultivator, he might have no other option other than bending his knees and to apologize.

“But we didn’t see you even lifting a finger.” Qian Lulu exclaimed.

“There are many things in this world that might seem inexplicable to you, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t real.” Chen Fan cracked a smile. “Yuan Hen, for example, he is a powerful spell caster and had cast an illusion on all of you. If wouldn’t be much harder for him to kill all of you using the illusion spells.”

So saying, Chen Fan gave Qi w.a.n.gsun a knowing look.

When Yuan Hen used the Illusion Dragon Bracelet to unleash the deadly illusions, Qi w.a.n.gsun was unfazed by the terror before him. It was as if he had seen such spells before. Therefore, Chen Fan was convinced that there was more than what met the eye about his best friend.

“Really?”

Qian Lulu, Liu Xiaojin and Zhou Qinya were set back on their heels

“Boss, do you mean you can cast spells?” Qiu Yilun was incredulous.

They were from well-off families of a small city, therefore, their level of attainment and achievement hadn’t broadened their views wide enough to even catch a glimpse of the spellcasters’ powers.

“Of course.”

Chen Fan shot out a finger and pointed at a table on the deck.

A dozen or so candles were placed on the wooden table. They wouldn’t be lit unless guests chose to use the patio. However, as soon as Chen Fan’s fingers pointed at them, fire burst out and lit up the entire patio. Despite the howling wind from the sea, the flames didn’t die down in the slightest.

“Ah!”

Qian Lulu and the others covered their mouths to stifle a surprised cry. They couldn’t believe the unimaginable scene.

They felt it was a frame by frame reenactment of a scene in Harry Potter where the lights in the academy suddenly went on with a wave of the wand. It was an impressive scene in the movie even though people knew that the scene was created using special visual effects, but to see the stuff of fiction in real life was a much more stunning experience.

“There are many powerful spellcasters in real life. I am just one of them.” Chen Fan pulled his fingers back and said lightly.

“Boss told us the truth. I remembered that when my family first moved into our house, we were hara.s.sed by a ghost in the house. My mother hired an exorcist and I remember that night, the house was turned into a battleground and things were knocked around by some unseen force. After the exorcist claimed that he had captured the ghost, we never encountered a single supernatural event since.” Qiu Yilun slapped his thigh and said abruptly. “However, I was too young to understand what was going on. But now that I think of it, that exorcist might have been a master spellcaster.”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Qiu Yilun’s story.

Many people had encountered inexplicable supernatural phenomena such as ghosts and what have you. Although the teenagers had often heard stories of supernatural elements, they had never believed in them since none of them had encountered any supernatural force in person.
