Chapter 1012: Anomaly

    Realizing that there hadn''t been any returns on his massive investment, Wang Jianshe''s attitude had been growing worse and worse.


    Wang Jianshe was a capitalist with a considerable influence on the surface world, and Anna wasn''t willing to give up on him just yet. Things would be much more convenient for her with Wang Jianshe handling some matters for her.


    The car stopped in front of a skyscraper that seemed to pierce the azure skies up above. The building was none other than the headquarters of the Wang Construction Group.


    When Anna arrived at Wang Jianshe''s office, she was surprised to find that he wasn''t alone.


    Four middle-aged men around his age were leisurely sipping tea in the chairs next to him.


    They were d in simple, in-looking clothes, but the designer watches on their wrist and the jade rings on their fingers told Anna that they were pretty wealthy.


    The men brazenly appraised Anna''s fair, long legs and started whispering among themselves.


    "What? Do you want me to kill these people and throw them into the sea?" Anna asked. Her words made the men cough out the tea in their mouths. The room was instantly filled with their coughing.


    Wang Jianshe''s face darkened as he sat behind therge desk. "Aren''t you a woman at the very least? Can you not speak so harshly?" Wang Jianshe asked.


    Anna sat down across from him and nonchntly said, "I think only dead people should hear our conversation."


    "These are my brothers who took on the world with me to establish thispany. Of course, they''re my business partners as well. The recent unusual cash flows in thepany made them think that I was being scammed," Wang Jianshe said.


    "<em>Heh, </em>they took on the world with you? By ''world,'' are you talking about the criminal world? It sounds like you made your fortune through mindless thuggery," Anna sneered, examining the men in her peripheral vision.


    One of the four men, a pot-bellied man, stood up. He sounded dissatisfied as he said, "Miss, how old do you think you are? Do you really think that doing business now is the same as doing business back then?


    "Let me tell you this—back then, everything was a mess. The daring ones survived while the timid ones starved. To put it bluntly, we brothers risked our lives to build thispany!"


    Anna turned to look at the pot-bellied man.


    Wang Jianshe saw that and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, Jinzhong, don''t brag about our past."


    Wang Jianshe had known Anna long enough to know that thetter disliked nonsense and preferred a direct and straightforward approach.


    "I think we can let them be privy to some things. Don''t worry; they''re absolutely trustworthy. We have all risked our lives for each other, after all," Wang Jianshe added.


    Anna ignored the middle-aged men and took out a knife from her handbag. "I got this from the Moth. This is useless in my hands, but it mighte in handy for you."


    "Is that an Anomaly?" Wang Jianshe asked, and her heart began to beat wildly against his chest. He had long be aware of the existence of Anomalies, and he knew that they were beyondmon sense, transcending reality.


    Despite being aware of their existence, he still felt very nervous staring at an Anomaly before him.


    <em>I wonder what special ability it has…</em> Wang Jianshe carefully picked it up. Before he could ask any questions, someone next to him spoke up.


    It was the pot-bellied man, and his face was filled with resentment as he eximed, "I knew it! You''re a scammer! I saw that kind of trick in Hong Kong a long time ago. All those so-called Feng Shui masters and Qi Gong masters aren''t real! They''re just going to swindle away our money!


    "Do you really think that all rich people are fools?!"


    Anna sighed lightly, looking stunned, before saying, "Can you shut up? You have no say here."


    Zhou Jinzhong was furious, and he became even more certain that Anna was a scammer. He pointed his chubby finger at Anna''s head and roared, "Any of your tricks are not going to work on me! The money you swindled from Boss… I want you to spit them all out… down to the veryst cent!


    "You''re in our territory, and I have connections everywhere. If you dare to y any tricks, you won''t even know that you''re already dead!"


    <em>Swoosh!</em>


    A ball of green corrosive mes appeared over Anna''s palm. The buzzing fly was making her feel annoyed.


    "<em>Hahaha,</em> what? You''re showing off your supernatural abilities now? I''m telling you, that''s an outdated trick~ I''ve seen plenty of those in the 80s, and they can only fool those who are dumbasses."


    The fats on Zhou Jinzhong''s face jiggled as heughed mockingly. He even reached out with his finger to poke at the green me.


    Zhou Jinzhong was unaware of it, but Wang Jianshe had learned from his son that Anna''s green mes were extremely powerful. He rushed over in a panic to stop Zhou Jinzhong from seeking his own death.


    After appeasing his brothers, Wang Jianshe turned around and gently asked, "Can you show them something to convince them?"


    Anna stood up and snatched the red knife from Wang Jianshe''s hand. Then, she rushed to the chubby man and thrust the red knife into thetter''s neck. With a forceful sh, Zhou Jinzhong''s chubby face fell to the ground.@@novelbin@@


    No one present had expected Anna to do something as outrageous as decapitating Zhou Jinzhong. Everyone was stunned, and a deafening silence descended upon the office.


    Soon, the silence was shattered by a shrill cry that sounded as if a pig were being ughtered.


    "<em>AAAAAH! </em>My head! My head! MY HEAD!" the head on the ground screamed miserably while the headless body next to it stood frozen in ce, iling its arms and legs.


    Everyone except for Wang Jianshe was terrified. Their faces distorted in fear as they frantically ran away from their decapitated brother. They couldn''t be med for their reaction. After all, the sight was just beyondmon sense.


    Anna turned to Wang Jianshe and exined, "If you slice up someone with this thing, this will keep their organs functioning. As long as the severed parts can be reattached, you can keep chopping and chopping."


    Anna picked up the head on the ground and proceeded to peel off the head''s facial features. Then, she cut the head into several slices as if it were a watermelon.


    Afterward, Anna haphazardly pieced together the severed parts to create a tiny monster made from just one human head.


    Anna stared at the three terrified men. When she stepped forward, they screamed and rushed toward the door, but unfortunately for them, the door was locked as soon as Anna entered the office.


    "This is all it takes to scare you all? <em>Tsk,</em> if you were thrown into the Subterranean Sea, you wouldn''tst even a day," Anna said. Then, she casually hurled the red knife toward Wang Jianshe''s shoulder.


    Anna walked toward the table and poured herself a cup of <em>Tieguanyin.</em> Upon taking a sip, she was pleasantly surprised by the taste. Although the tea was slightly bitter, it coated her tongue with a sweet aftertaste.


    "Stop scaring them, all right? How do we assemble him?" Wang Jianshe asked, holding his brother''s head with a troubled look.


    "Just put every piece where it belongs, but make it quick. If he''s not reassembled within thirty minutes, he''ll stay that way forever," Anna replied.


    With much difficulty, they managed to reassemble Zhou Jinzhong''s head to normal. His facial features were pasted back on, but his mouth still looked a bit crooked.


    The four men''s attitude toward Anna changed drastically. They lowered their heads and stood cautiously around her as if they were walking on eggshells.
