Chapter 884: Chapter 858: Sorry, My Daughter-in-Law, It’s Still One Step Away
“Come, tell me about your competition results today. Did those people cause you any trouble?” Camden was especially curious about his wife’s championship process.
Kiara just didn’t want to let this thick-skinned guy succeed too easily.
“A week ago, there was a downpour in our neighborhood.”
Upon hearing this, Camden racked his brains. Was his wife hinting that the competition was as heart-stopping as a thunderstorm?
“A downpour, and then what?”
“The windows at home, they got dirty.”
The realm of a poet is to break up a few words with pauses, and accompany them with a deep expression and a slowed pace, to enhance the effect of posing.
Mario Yuno’s eyes shrunk to tiny dots for a good few seconds, then the top student Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ caught on.
“You mean— you want me to go back and clean the windows?”
Kiara gestured the number three with her hand, “The bedroom, kitchen, secondary bedroom, all need cleaning!”
If it isn’t clean, I’m not telling you anything!
The corners of Mario Yuno’s mouth twitched. She really knew how to take advantage of the situation.
“Wife, this personality of yours, isn’t it what the countryside folks describe as someone who won’t suffer the slightest loss, always taking advantage, even wanting to poke a finger at the dung cart passing by— Ah! Don’t start hitting me while I’m driving!”
“I’d rather just kill you!”
What was she thinking when she fell for this idiot?!
When it rains, it pours. She was already playing hard to get with him, and this guy was provocatively challenging her unawares. Was he aiming for a cold palace punishment rhythm?
As Mario Yuno drove, he earnestly apologized to Kiara with a playful smile. Sophia was genuinely acting haughty this time, giving him no friendly face.
It wasn’t that she was really angry, just a bit of the affectionate bickering between couples. Seeing this idiot try to appease her with a smile made her heart swell with joy.
The cars of Second Brother and the others were faster than Mario Yuno’s. Mario Yuno was driving slowly because he was “connecting” with his Society beauty, and while he was teasing Kiara, he saw a car in the rear-view mirror. His eyes narrowed instantly, and his relaxed demeanor turned alert.
“What’s up?”
Kiara also noticed he wasn’t his usual self.
“There’s a car that’s been following us.”
That car had been tailing Mario Yuno’s since they left the Broadcasting and Television Building, and Camden had thought it was a coincidence at first, considering the number of vehicles on the road.
But having been on the road for so long and still being followed, it meant there was something going on.
“They really are impatient.” Kiara could guess who sent them.
From set-ups to failed attempts at trapping her, all these plots had fallen through. Were they desperately resorting to violence to deal with her?
Dealing with her wasn’t the issue.
The problem was getting the agreement of the man beside her.
The car behind them was a small business van, which seemed unremarkable, but Mario Yuno discerned something off about it from his years of experience.
After exchanging a glance with Kiara, who nodded at him,
Camden turned the steering wheel and changed direction, driving toward a nearby Urban Village and accelerating.
The business van sped up to follow them into the Urban Village.
This Urban Village was also undergoing demolition. Some houses were already half-demolished, and the road was a mess. Those in pursuit turned into this area only to see Kiara’s red car stopped in front of a chaotically demolished building.
That building only had one wall left; the rest was in ruins.
Though puzzled about why Kiara had driven here, they followed in their car nonetheless.
When they stopped, they found that the red car was already empty.
Three men got off the business van, exchanged glances, and the leader spoke to his subordinates with a puzzled tone.
“Where’d the guy go?”
“He’s here.”
“Then why aren’t we chasing after him—huh?” Who was talking?
The minor leader turned his head at the sound and was greeted by an iron fist.
Before he could see what happened, he was punched in the eye socket by Mario Yuno and screamed in pain as he stumbled backwards.
The other two thugs only saw Mario Yuno standing with one hand in his pocket and the other bent above his head, striking a pose of ‘The Thinker’.
“Hi, are you guys all right?”
These two hadn’t even seen how he had emerged.
Snapping back to reality and trying to rush him, Mario Yuno turned and ran, all while throwing taunts over his shoulder.
“Come chase me!”

“Damn it! Chase!” The three men ran with all their might.
Mario Yuno’s pace was just fast enough to stay within their line of sight but out of reach.
He ran circles around several nearly demolished houses, Camden running with ease and pleasure, while the three behind him were gasping for air in dogged pursuit.
One of them, feeling like he was about to run out of breath, asked their boss between heavy breaths.
“This guy, could he be, could he be a runner or something?”
The speed was simply unbelievable.
Mario Yuno even turned to run backwards, waving at them with ease and cheerfulness.
“Hey there, pick up the pace, hurry up and catch up! Look at you, slack in your training like snails, slower than a toothless old lady. With such poor service quality, do you really have the nerve to take Money and act as tough guys?”
To be killed is bearable, but to be humiliated is not; this was infuriating! The three thugs were dying of frustration. They were there to ambush someone, and now they were being toyed with, running in vain circles. Where was the dignity of a thug?
The men gathered their energy and continued their mad chase.
Energy is especially quickly sapped when one bursts forth at full speed, and Mario Yuno, not satisfied, kept pouring it on.
“Look at you, with your pathetic stamina, who would ever trust you with the job of giving a beatdown again? If dumbbells like you call it quits, and those with better fitness take over such deeds, wouldn’t that pose an even greater danger to society? For the harmony and stability of Society, you must continue your efforts! If you can’t even cut it as lowlifes, what’s the point of living? Alive, you waste air; dead, you pollute the land, even your ashes scatter with the stench of human scum!”
The men, scolded, felt a burgeoning sense of shame and tried to accelerate, but their bodies were drained. When it comes to toying with, training, and tormenting someone to their limit, Camden was a pro!
One of them, completely worn out, stopped and bent over to gasp for air, feeling as if he had a stitch in his side. The other two were close to their limits too. It’s impossible to hover by the River without getting your shoes wet, and this time they had met a master of the trade.
They gave up the chase, but Camden wasn’t ready to let it go.
He wanted to perform for his daughter-in-law, what was the fun in all this if these folks wouldn’t play along?
While the three men were panting heavily, they suddenly saw Mario Yuno drop something and head straight towards them.
What, what’s happening?
It was the first time they had seen someone they were trying to hit with a sneak attack actually come back. What was he back for…
The question hadn’t even settled in the minds of the three winded men when Mario Yuno returned, standing less than three meters from them, a look of regret on his face.
“Actually, my daughter-in-law’s plan was to lead you guys over there—”
The three men followed his pointing hand to a wall not far away, the house demolished until only one shaky wall remained.
“My daughter-in-law had too much faith in you. She thought you could manage to run all the way over there, and then she’d kick the wall from the other side, trapping all three of you under it, but you, as enforcers, have such poor physical fitness you’ve let down my daughter-in-law’s anticipation of a good show. Sigh…”
Mario Yuno sighed and called out loudly.
“Daughter-in-law, I’m sorry I couldn’t let you deliver that crucial kick.”
