Chapter 42 A Monster

[Trigger Warning: Cannabalism]

Bern, Switzerland.

A young man in a well-groomed clean suit as he sipped his glass of red wine. The young man had an extremely handsome face, his jaw was sharp and he had a domineering high bridge nose as he looked down at the pedestrians from his seat.

He had emotionless eyes, resembling the abyss.

Instead of fostering a gentle demeanor, he emitted an extremely cold and indifferent feeling. Anyone who entered his presence couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spine as they lay eyes on him.

Ye Zhihao stared indifferently out the windows before turning his head to look at the woman in front of him. The woman was none other than his assistant, who had been nagging him for days to return to China.

The woman wore gold-rimmed glasses as she smiled indifferently at him, "Aren't you going to attend your parents' funeral?"

Ye Zhihao hummed in a low tone as he swallowed the last bit of red wine, he raised his hand and ordered the waiter to pour more as he raised his head to smile at her.

He curled his lips into a dangerous arc.

"Why don't you enjoy the meal I ordered you first before we talk about business?"

"Business?" Assistant Yan frowned as she couldn't help but feel this young master is becoming absurd due to his attitude to his parent's death.

"It is good courtesy if you eat first, I can't allow my beloved servant to starve to death before she could talk with me."

He placed the side of his head on his palm with his elbow on the table, smiling gracefully.

He gestured silently to the fork and knife in front of her, Assistant Yan felt uneasy in her heart and chose to follow his words. She took the knife and tried to slice off a piece of meat.

For some reason, she struggled to cut the meat as she pressed the knife roughly against the slice of meat and couldn't cut it thoroughly. She clenched her teeth as she noticed a slender hand extended toward her.

Ye Zhihao smiled softly and offered to help, "It is quite simple."

He cut it off flawlessly into bite pieces and returned it to her table, he poured in red wine and raised a toast to her, with a gracious smile.

Although his parents had died in a tragic car accident, Ye Zhihao never harbored any resentment or displayed any sadness toward this incident. He appeared as though he wasn't phased by any of them and lived life as usual.

Drinking wine and looking out the wind, lost in his thoughts.

Assistant Yan placed the piece of meat inside her mouth and continued to chew it, the meat was extremely hard and tasted different from the meat she usually had at this restaurant.

She couldn't help but say, "It's quite hard to bite through. Did they overcook it?"

She didn't believe a Michelin restaurant would overcook their meat to rock-hard pieces of brick.

"Of course, I asked them to make it with my love. It is the top quality meat you could find."

He curled his lips into a wide smile with his squinted eyes, he pointed toward the meat and continued to explain.

"The meat, I ordered them from a special place where you couldn't find elsewhere in this country. It used to be raised in China but exported to Switzerland just for you."

Assistant Yan frowned and forcefully swallowed the whole meat into her throat leaving behind a sore and itchy throat, she coughed lightly and tasted the meat.

It felt rather pungent and overly moist.

"What do you think of it?"

Ye Zhihao asked with a knowing smile.

Assistant Yan was scared to offend this young master, she nodded her head in acknowledgment and continued to sip her red wine.

"It is edible but I prefer it to be medium rare, it is slightly overcooked."

"I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to consume the meat if it wasn't overcooked," Ye Zhihao's eyes glowed bright red above her head, glaring at her with vicious eyes.

"Good."

"Don't you feel it tastes like someone you know?" Ye Zhihao asked her all of a sudden, his voice was low and deep.

Assistant Yan was confused and replied, "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm asking does the meat remind you of anyone you know? For example, your friends? Your family?"

Assistant Yan started to feel anxious as the back of her spine produced cold sweats unconsciously, Ye Zhihao continued to smile and gestured to her.

"Eat them more and feel their presence inside of you."

As though she was under a spell, Assistant Yan began to uncontrollably shove chunks of meat into her mouth and causing her mouth to become full. She then took the glass of wine and poured it into her mouth, using her hand to push down the meat.

Tears started to form at the corner of her eyes as she stared at Ye Zhihao with fear and helplessness, she mumbled audibly with her mouth filled to the brim.

"Help…"

Ye Zhihao didn't bat an eye as he crossed his legs and continued to smile, "Eat them all."

Ye Zhihao got up from his seat and left the table, intending to return to his room to take a break from this madness. The woman didn't allow him to leave as she stumbled and held onto him.

She cried with pitiful tears and mumbled words that didn't sound right, the side of her mouth began to crack from the amount of pressure from the meat inside of her.

Ye Zhihao pushed her off with the tip of his finger, "Enjoy your meal. I have something to do."

He resolutely left her there as the customers from nearby noticed her strange state and rushed to ask what was her problem, she was unable to speak and suddenly grabbed the knife on the table.

She stood up and stared at them with fierce eyes, she raised the knife and began to attack the others around her. Stabbing one of them in the eyes as she cried with madness.

Her eyes glowed red as though she was possessed by a demon, everyone in the room panicked and dashed outside.

Ye Zhihao was unnoticeable from the start as he watched this happen with a cruel smile on his face, "Ah, ever since I came to this world. I get to enjoy this sense of feeling again."

"It isn't as gory as my past world but I'd wish to turn and transform this world into one. Since I, Ye Zhihao, am here due to the blessing of the Devils, I will make a home out of this universe."

"This is only the beginning of my journey."

"I guess killing those bastards wasn't enough, I had to kill my own parents and have my assistant feast on them to get this far," Ye Zhihao sneered with distaste, "If this system was a living human, I would kill it repeatedly."

"Was my display of power not enough to prove I am worthy of the title, 'The Villain' of this world? Tsk tsk!"

"I shall kill more of these people here."

Ye Zhihao narrowed his eyes into a dangerous arc.

With a swing of his hand, the woman got even worse with her attacks as she rushed to attack the other customers who were trying to escape. She opened her mouth and spit out the meat, she began to use her teeth as a weapon to attack others.

She bit onto the necks and twisted them, causing the skin to break and blood began to course out. It was a horrifying scene and the mastermind of this play was nowhere to be seen.

Or rather, he was unable to be seen.

Ye Zhihao smirked cruelly and hid behind the door.

The meat she had eaten was the human flesh, the human flesh that belonged to his parents. It was Ye Zhihao who had orchestrated everything from the start till their tragic end.

Ever since coming to this world, he wanted to gain control of his freedom and including his area. He was willing to blame his uncle for the death of his parents, framing him as the mastermind and the one who had ordered the brakes of the car to be broken.

Even though it had been him who had them killed.

With his system's habit of giving away weapons for him to commit atrocities, Ye Zhihao took the knife given by the system and chopped them into meat slices. He cleaned the traces of his crime using the system.

Due to the system's demands, he also fed it to his dogs and his subordinates. They didn't even know what meat they consumed, they believed it was normal steak.

In this life, he shall turn this seemingly plain and grey world into a world where evil and criminals rule.

A world he believed was his true home.
