Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

There was no bloodshed, no corpses strewn across the fields, no madness or hysteria, no long monologues of unfulfilled desires. Today's victims were just a few bottles of innocent wine.

Oh, and Aunt Chen too.

The next day, when Mrs. Chen went to work, she found that her carefully maintained home had been mostly destroyed by the fight between two sickly girls overnight. She suffered a mental breakdown and screamed hysterically. The parrot in the broken cage sang "Good Luck Comes" in a crying voice.

Today's update, brothers!

Congratulations to the two yandere girls for illegally teaming up and defeating the white boss! (o゜▽゜)o☆

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Five Years Later (Part One)

The middle-aged couple sat on the sofa, embracing each other, their faces pale and trembling.

"...You...you...you don't need to worry."

"...We...we have finalized the list...Luo Xiaoxi is definitely among the nine who will debut."

"Yes, don't worry... She's very popular, our TV station will definitely focus on cultivating her..."

Bai Weiran sat opposite them on another sofa that was suspended in mid-air. The sofa tilted to the right and then to the left like a seesaw. Nana was happily sliding down the back of the sofa behind him, screaming loudly. He crossed his arms and gently tapped his upper arm with his index finger.

The couple in front of me are the executives of the TV station that funded Xiaoxi's talent show.

He has more say than the old lecher who tried to sexually harass Xiaoxi before.

They have the power to decide the script and the outcome of the show.

The recording of the show is already three-quarters complete, and the names of the "royal family" members who have been slated to participate in the show have begun to surface.

Even with Bai Weiran's support and the backing of a large fanbase, the production team was still able to compress Xiao Xi's screen time and use editing and post-production to make other members appear more outstanding. They also adjusted behind-the-scenes data to prevent Xiao hope's popularity from falling far behind the show's favored members.

In the later revised program rules, Xiao hope repeatedly found herself at a disadvantage in both the group and individual competitions, thus helping the royal family to gain popularity and being exploited by the program.

This is the arrogant world of capital operation.

Xiao hope's own agency was also not very supportive. Although they wanted to support Xiao hope and hoped that this cash cow would do well, they could not withstand the fierce competition from the capital coming from all directions.

Bai Weiran then arrived.

“I didn’t say I wanted her to be selected.”

The couple exclaimed "Huh?" and Nana, who was sitting on the back of the chair, also exclaimed "Huh?"

Bai Weiran lowered his hand, smiled slightly, and leaned forward instead of leaning back in his chair.

"I'm here today hoping that you two can arrange for Xiaoxi to be eliminated."

"Please, please, absolutely make sure she fails to be selected, and ruthlessly block her from the debut position."

The high-ranking couple looked disapproving and wanted to argue, but Bai Weiran flicked his finger, and a pot of boiling oil on the gas stove floated over to them. He first waved it threateningly in front of them. The oil in the pot was golden yellow and bubbling. They shut their mouths and stared at the pot in horror, not understanding what Bai Weiran was going to do.

Bai Weiran turned his head and smiled at Nana.

"Did you know? Mountains of knives, seas of fire, and cauldrons of boiling oil are essential parts of hell."

Therefore, a demon from hell should know how to use a cauldron of boiling oil as a weapon.

The oil pan rose steadily until it was above their heads; they looked up, trembling.

A bottle of premium mineral water floated to the edge of the frying pan, automatically unscrewed the cap, and poured into the pan. The hot oil and cold water caused the fryer to crackle and spray, scalding the couple below who screamed in pain. It wasn't fatal, but it immediately created a strong sense of psychological and physical threat.

Bai Weiran flew in the afternoon sun, feeling the breeze brush against his face, and squinted his eyes.

"Why aren't you making a fuss today?" he asked Nana, who was perched on his shoulder, treating him like a whirlwind.

Whenever something happens that affects Xiaoxi's interests, Nana is always the first to make a fuss.

Today he came to ask the TV station executives to kick Xiao hope out of the debut group. Nana watched the whole thing and remained silent.

The pink-haired, translucent girl pouted and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind.

"...Because Mr. William is a remarkable person, you always know things that Nana wouldn't think of."

Nana's tone was full of admiration.

“Nana and Xiaoxi are on the first floor, while Mr. William is on the fifth floor. Nana has no right to question what Mr. William is doing.”

Bai Weiran felt the sunlight was too bright, so he squinted and chuckled softly.

"What first or fifth level? I'm just a few years older than you and know a little more. Now that you understand, I'm not surprised anymore."

He patiently explained it to Nana.

There are plenty of talent shows like this nowadays, but most of them are short-lived, with the contestants reaching their peak right after their debut.

Without any period of adjustment and training, a hastily assembled group is difficult to integrate.

It would be even more terrifying if such a group also contained a variety of outstanding individuals.

Bai Weiran's former project senior once said with a smile that the easiest way to ruin a project is to throw big shots into it, the more the better, preferably everyone who has been able to take charge of their own project, and poach them all at high prices.

Throw them into a project and no one will listen to anyone else. A group of outstanding talents will cause the project to fall apart. What should have been a unified gaming empire will be turned into a collection of independent factions.

Everyone thinks they are the First Emperor, destined to unify the country, but in reality, no one is willing to submit to anyone else, and the Warring States period continues with its fragmented power.

Bai Weiran watched the recording process from the sidelines. Although the script of this program clearly favored the royal family, these royal family members were not mediocre.

They are all outstanding individuals who emerged from the trainee system of various star-making factories and were heavily promoted, each with their own strengths.

Xiao hope is very talented, but among this group, she can't match the second generation of singers in terms of singing, and her dance foundation is not as strong as that of the members who started dancing at the age of five. Xiao Xi stands out among them with her own strength, but the reason why Xiao hope became so popular is largely due to the persona marketing that Bai Weiran cultivated for her.

Xiaoxi's yandere characteristics are very prominent.

Once a group is formed, individual characteristics must be downplayed, and priority must be given to acting as a group. In that case, Xiao hope's biggest advantage will be gone.

The disadvantages began to emerge.

She's not royalty, and she doesn't have the support of a powerful agency or TV station executives. She definitely won't get more resources in the group, and she'll only be a regular backup dancer and singer. Of course, Bai Weiran could choose to "reason with them" and ask those executives to promote her to the center position.

After all, capital is valuable, but life is more precious.

Rich people are more afraid of dying than poor people.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Bai Weiran will leave one day, and Xiao hope will have to walk this path on her own.

Then we can't put her in a trap from the start.

Teaming up yanderes with ordinary people is inherently risky.

Bai Weiran chose to strike at the root of the problem.

When everyone was full of expectations for her and thought that Xiao hope would debut, she missed the debut spot. This was bound to cause a huge uproar among the public. Fans' sympathy surged to its peak in an instant, stirring up the audience's emotions and boosting her popularity to its highest point.

At the height of his career, he left his current agency and signed a new contract with a truly capable and well-established agency.

Let Nozomi continue on her solo yandere idol persona—

Nana listened quietly to Bai Weiran's explanation, then lowered her eyelashes and hugged Bai Weiran even tighter.

"Mr. William, are you leaving?" Her tone was filled with loneliness.

Bai Weiran smiled.

"The devil can't stay on earth forever; he has to go back to hell. Otherwise, hell will be empty while the devil is on earth. What will we do then?"

Completing this task will also be a way of repaying Gaga for the help she gave me.

"Nana is so sad—" The pink-haired girl buried her face in his shoulder, and Lotte's voice suddenly became tearful.

"...Nana had never felt so frustrated before. Why did Nana die so young?"

"If Nana were still alive, she would be able to feel Mr. William's body temperature!"

“...Mr. William, it must be very warm.”

No matter how tightly she hugs him now, she can't feel a trace of body heat.

Bai Weiran gazed at the afternoon sunlight, remaining silent.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Nana's passing.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Five Years Later (Part Two) (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Bai Weiran accompanied Xiao hope to sweep the tomb.

Now Xiao hope is practically a celebrity. She's always followed by paparazzi when she goes out, and she gets recognized wherever she goes. But as long as Bai Weiran is by her side, she can create a barrier so that no one can see her and she can silently evade the paparazzi.

Xiao hope was holding a large bunch of small flowers, colorful like a rainbow. They looked a bit like baby's breath in the real world, but here they were called rainbow flowers, and were specially made to mourn the dead. Legend has it that there is a bridge connecting the world of the living and the world of the dead.

The bridge was as colorful as a rainbow, and rainbow flowers bloomed all around it.

Bai Weiran stood two steps behind Xiao hope, silently looking at the tombstone.

Xiao hope was wearing sunglasses with large lenses that covered half of her small face. Her long pink hair was hidden under her baseball cap, making her look like a sporty girl.

Nana was always making a ruckus around, sometimes making people forget that she was a deceased person.

Although she has passed away, she remains full of energy, curious about the world, and eager to learn.

No matter how much she studies and understands, she cannot be brought back to life. No matter how hard she tries to convey her words, she remains alone, with only her own voice to hear, repeating herself over and over again.

Whenever Bai Weiran thought about this, he found it hard to imagine what kind of mental fortitude Nana possessed.

You haven't walked her path, so you don't know the suffering she endured.

Even just imagining it, he felt that the mental pressure was enough to break the shoulder of an adult man.

The person who will be most heartbroken when he leaves is probably not Xiao hope, but Nana.

No one could hear her, see her, or stay with her anymore.

Bai Weiran used to think that Nana was clinging to him to monitor him and see if he was doing anything that would harm Xiao hope.

Later, he had a deeper guess—Nana was afraid of being lonely and wanted to stick close to someone.

He is the only person who can have a normal conversation with her since her death.

Thinking of this, he reached out and gently patted the pink-haired little head clinging to his shoulder.
