“These aquatic animals seem to have had all their vitality drained by some mysterious force! This is just too strange!”

　　Hearing her grandfather’s words, Ivy White’s pretty face turned a bit pale. Yet at that moment, for some reason, the image of Evan Clark just walking out of the river suddenly flashed through her mind, making her delicate body tremble violently.

　　“Grandpa… that person just now… seemed to have come out of the river…”

　　What!!!

　　Ivy White’s words made both Old Master and Uncle Bell’s expressions change dramatically. Only then did they recall the scene from earlier.

　　But the more they thought about it, the more their hearts trembled!

　　Especially when they considered a certain connection, both felt their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end!

　　“If this really has something to do with that young man, he must not be provoked! Remember that!!”

　　In an instant, Old Master White seemed to have aged several years, his face filled with boundless terror and shock.

Chapter 5: This Plate Is a Bit Dirty!

　　Just as Old Master White had predicted, the corpses of those aquatic animals were indeed the work of Evan Clark!

　　Demonic Slaughter Art!

　　One of the Demon Emperor’s most powerful death skills!

　　To kill, anything that can be killed!

　　“Unfortunately, the life energy of those aquatic animals was too weak. Even after absorbing an entire river, I only gained a bit of power to protect myself!”

　　“Looks like I need to speed things up!”

　　Evan Clark clenched his fist and let out a long sigh, then once again stepped into another river.

　　……

　　Three days in a row!

　　Gone in a flash!

　　At dawn, by the Weishui River, a figure slowly walked out.

　　Evan Clark’s face was pale, his hair disheveled, and his clothes were already thoroughly soaked.

　　But as soon as he stepped out of the river, wisps of mist appeared, and in the blink of an eye, his clothes seemed to be dried by the sun, with not a trace of moisture left—utterly bizarre.

　　“It’s been three days! My power is now enough to dominate a region! Now, it’s time to go back!”

　　Although Evan Clark was the soul of the Demon Emperor, he had nevertheless fused with the memories of this body’s previous life.

　　To him,

　　There were still some things that needed to be done!

　　And some people that needed to be killed!

　　With that thought, Evan Clark’s figure flashed and he dashed madly toward Jiang City.

　　After a full twenty minutes, Evan Clark arrived at the gates of Jiang City High School.

　　Evan Clark, in his current identity, was still a senior in high school.

　　When the students entering the school saw Evan Clark, they all avoided him as if he were the plague. Especially, every student who looked at Evan Clark had eyes full of mockery and ridicule.

　　Not only that, but waves of mocking and sarcastic voices reached Evan Clark’s ears.

　　It was as if, in these students’ eyes, Evan Clark was nothing but a joke.

　　Seeing this, Evan Clark frowned. He knew the previous owner of this body was not well-liked, but he hadn’t expected things to be this bad.

　　However, Evan Clark didn’t pay much attention and walked straight toward the school gate.

　　“Well, well! Isn’t this Evan Clark, the one rumored to have spent the night with the most beautiful CEO? What, after hiding for three days, you finally dare to show your face?”

　　At that moment, a sarcastic voice rang out, causing Evan Clark’s steps to pause slightly.

　　Looking over, he saw a boy and a girl walking hand in hand.

　　The boy was tall and handsome, wearing a jacket on top and white casual pants below, looking quite impressive. But he had a pair of triangular eyes, giving off a sinister vibe.

　　Like a venomous snake, he gave people a cold, chilling feeling.

　　The girl was quite attractive, tall and shapely, her eyes seductive, with a hint of flirtatiousness.

　　Especially at this moment, the girl’s gaze toward Evan Clark was a bit unnatural. Only after tightly gripping the tall boy’s hand did she seem to gain some confidence, and her look toward Evan Clark was filled with disdain.

　　Charles Bell! Faye Reed!

　　Seeing these two, the names surfaced in Evan Clark’s mind, making his eyes narrow slightly.

　　According to memories from his previous life, this girl named Faye Reed was originally Evan Clark’s girlfriend, but after meeting Charles Bell, she dumped him.

　　The former Evan Clark had been infatuated with Faye Reed, heartbroken for a long time.

　　But unfortunately, the current Evan Clark was no longer the old Evan Clark!

　　“Heh heh… Evan Clark, I really didn’t expect a bastard like you to dare come back?” Charles Bell stared straight at Evan Clark, his lips curled in mockery:

　　“Now, you’re a celebrity in Jiang City! Not only is the Gong family looking for you, but even your Ye family is after you! Heh, looks like your days are numbered!”

　　Charles Bell’s expression was filled with endless delight.

　　He loved nothing more than stepping on Evan Clark, which was why he’d done everything he could to steal Faye Reed from him.

　　Every time he saw Evan Clark heartbroken and bullied, Charles Bell felt a surge of pleasure.

　　Listening to Charles Bell’s words, Evan Clark’s face was utterly indifferent, as if looking at an ant:

　　“Are you done? Then I’m leaving.”

　　As a former Demon Emperor, Evan Clark had no habit of arguing with ants, so he turned to leave.

　　Hmm?

　　This scene left both Charles Bell and Faye Reed stunned.

　　In their impression, Evan Clark had always been timid and cowardly, never daring to talk back even when insulted to his face.

　　But now, he ignored them!

　 Blatantly ignored them!
