After controlling both Liu Ruyan and Li Boxiao, Genichi's gaze fell on Li Boxiao.
The man was currently pinned hard against the floor by two black shadows, his face pressed to the cold tiles, his body trembling faintly with fear.
His suit had been wrinkled into a mess, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the handsome, carefree look from before.
Genichi crouched down and looked down at him from above.
"You recovered pretty fast."
His voice was soft, but it carried a bone-chilling cold.
"I remember those kidneys were taken not long ago, right? You already had them put in? You didn't even need to stay in the hospital for observation?"
When Liu Ruyan heard that, she froze.
She had been restrained by another black shadow and was kneeling not far away.
At Genichi's words, her gaze instinctively turned toward Ji Boxiao.
Before this, she had not thought too deeply about it. She had simply been happy that Li Boxiao had "recovered" from his serious illness.
But now that Genichi had pointed it out, she suddenly realized a problem.
If Li Boxiao had really undergone transplant surgery, where were the wounds?
Where was the postoperative recovery period?
Genichi had the shadows lift Li Boxiao's clothes.
Li Boxiao's waist was exposed.
Smooth. Flat. Not the slightest scar.
There was no trace of transplant surgery at all.
Genichi looked at that smooth skin and could not help chuckling.
The sound was soft, but full of mockery.
Liu Ruyan stared at Li Boxiao in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
"Boxiao… you lied to me?"
Her voice trembled, carrying a trace of disbelief.
Li Boxiao did not respond to her question at all.
At that moment, all his attention was fixed on Genichi.
That man was slowly walking closer, holding a scalpel in his hand.
The blade gleamed coldly beneath the lights, and dark red blood still stained its edge.
Li Boxiao's pupils shrank violently. His body began to struggle fiercely, but the shadows were terrifyingly strong, and he could not break free at all.
"No… don't come closer…"
His voice trembled so badly he could barely form a sentence. His face was as pale as paper.
Genichi ignored his struggle. He merely crouched down slowly and lightly patted Li Boxiao's face with the knife in his hand.
"You dug out two of my kidneys, so you can repay me with interest. Two from each of you."
Hearing that, Li Boxiao and Liu Ruyan finally understood.
Two.
Genichi had lost two kidneys.
And now, he wanted them to repay him with interest.
Liu Ruyan's body shook violently. Terror flashed through her eyes, but very quickly, she forced herself to calm down.
She looked at Genichi and squeezed out a pleading expression.
"Genichi, I was deceived!"
Her voice was tearful, and tears had already gathered in her eyes.
"I really didn't know Boxiao was lying to me! I thought he truly needed a transplant. Forgive me just this once, all right? I promise I'll treat you well from now on. Really!"
Genichi looked at her and laughed.
It was not a happy laugh.
It was the kind of laugh that came when a person was too speechless to do anything else.
Sure enough, when people were truly speechless, they laughed.
How could she even say something like that?
She did not know?
She had been deceived?
She was the one who had personally sent the female-oriented romance Genichi to the operating table.
The signed documents, the arranged procedures, the bribed doctors. Which part had she not personally handled?
And now she wanted to say she did not know?
Genichi ignored her.
He turned and walked toward Ji Boxiao.
Seeing him approach, Li Boxiao's body trembled violently.
His lips quivered as he tried to say something, but all that came out were meaningless sounds.
"No… no… please… please…"
Genichi did not give him the chance to speak.
The scalpel in his hand made a light cut, slicing open the skin at Ji Boxiao's side.
"Ahhh!"
Li Boxiao let out a shrill scream.
The sound echoed through the empty villa, piercing and desperate.
The sharp blade cut through skin and muscle. Blood surged out at once, staining the floor red.
Li Boxiao's body convulsed violently, but his limbs were bound firmly by the shadows. He could not move at all.
All he could do was watch the knife move inside his body and feel that bone-deep agony.
"Please… let me go… I'll do anything…"
His voice had become so hoarse it was almost inaudible. Tears and snot mixed together, leaving him utterly wretched.
Genichi did not stop.
With a light flick of the blade, he drew out a kidney slick with blood and dropped it onto the floor beside Ji Boxiao's face with a dull sound.
"Ahhh!"
Li Boxiao screamed again, the sound so sharp it nearly pierced the eardrums.
Genichi glanced at the kidney, then, right in front of Li Boxiao, stepped on it.
Squelch.
The kidney was crushed under his foot, blood and pieces of flesh splattering across the floor.
Li Boxiao's eyes widened, filled with terror and despair.
That was his kidney.
And it had been crushed just like that.
"No… no…"
He murmured, unable to form a complete sentence.
Genichi ignored his pleading.
He waved his hand, and a black shadow stepped forward, grabbed a handful of the minced flesh from the floor, and forced it into Li Boxiao's mouth.
Li Boxiao struggled violently and tried to spit it out, but the shadows clamped his jaw shut and forced him to swallow.
The taste of blood spread through his mouth. The sensation was more disgusting than a corpse.
After finishing all of that, Genichi raised his hand and began to chant.
"Heal."
A soft light enveloped the wound at Li Boxiao's waist. The hideous cut began to close at a visible speed. The bleeding stopped, and new skin grew over the injury.
In less than a minute, the wound completely disappeared, leaving only smooth skin behind.
Li Boxiao lowered his head and stared at his smooth waist, his eyes full of blank confusion.
The wound was gone?
But what about his kidney?
His kidney was already gone. It had been crushed and then eaten by him.
Genichi looked at him, a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry. You won't die. Until I let you die, you'll stay alive."
He paused, then added.
"Alive and well."
Li Boxiao's body trembled violently.
At that moment, he finally understood.
Genichi would not let him die easily.
He wanted him alive.
Alive to endure even more pain.
Genichi turned and looked at Liu Ruyan.
By now, Liu Ruyan was completely terrified out of her mind.
She knelt on the floor, trembling like a sieve. Warm liquid flowed out beneath her and spread across the floor.
She had wet herself in fear.
Genichi looked at her, a smile still on his face, Li Boxiao's blood staining his skin.
In Liu Ruyan's eyes, that smile was more terrifying than any devil.
"No… don't come closer…"
Her voice shook so badly she could barely form a sentence, and her eyes were filled with fear.
"You… didn't you love me?"
She tried to use the last lifeline she had to protect herself.
During those years, hadn't that humble bootlicker always loved her?
Couldn't that love become her shield?
When Genichi heard that, he could not help laughing.
The sound was soft, but full of mockery.
"Love?"
He crouched down and reached out to grab Liu Ruyan by the throat.
His fingers tightened, and Liu Ruyan's breathing immediately became difficult. Her face flushed crimson, and her hands weakly slapped at Genichi's arm, but she could not break free at all.
"Don't move."
Genichi's voice was soft, but it carried unquestionable authority.
"Relax. I'll only take one kidney from you for now. You can still live. Before I allow you to die, you won't die."
With his other hand, he lifted the scalpel and waved it in front of Liu Ruyan's eyes.
"Of course, if you move around, my hand might slip. Then it may not just be one kidney."
He leaned close to Liu Ruyan's ear and whispered.
"So be good. Don't move."
Tears poured from Liu Ruyan's eyes.
She nodded desperately, trying to show that she would behave, but with her throat gripped, she could only make meaningless whimpers.
Genichi released his hand and threw her to the floor.
Liu Ruyan lay there, gasping for breath. Tears and snot mixed together, leaving her utterly wretched.
But Genichi gave her no time to recover.
He pulled open her clothes, exposing her slender waist.
Then the scalpel fell.
"Ahhh!"
Liu Ruyan let out a shrill scream.
The sound was sharp and desperate, echoing through the villa.
Genichi ignored her screams.
He calmly cut open the skin, sliced through the muscle, and removed a kidney slick with blood.
The entire process used no anesthetic and no mercy.
Liu Ruyan's body convulsed violently. Her screams grew more and more piercing until they finally turned into weak whimpers.
Genichi placed the kidney in front of her.
Liu Ruyan stared at the kidney that belonged to her, her eyes filled with terror and despair.
That was her kidney.
And it had been dug out just like that.
"Don't worry. You won't die."
Genichi spoke softly. "At least, not now."
He stood and looked at the two wretched figures on the ground.
Li Boxiao lay collapsed on the floor, his eyes hollow, still mumbling something under his breath.
Liu Ruyan lay prone on the floor, her body trembling as tears flowed silently down her face.
Genichi looked at them, and satisfaction rose in his heart.
Still not enough.
This was only the beginning.
