**Chapter 119: Trouble Comes Knocking at Home**
Katerina finally realized something was wrong!
Panicked, she ran over.
She dug Jiangnan out from under the cement slab, covered in dust.
Full of apology: "S-sorry about that! I didn't mean to!"
"Just a reflex! A reflex!"
Jiangnan felt like crying but had no tears.
He felt like the whole world was targeting him.
Even his god-tier handsome face couldn't turn things around!
He stood up, looking pitiful.
"You guys go on ahead. Stay away from me, it's too dangerous!"
So, the team walked on the left side of the street.
Jiangnan walked miserably on the right side.
Always on the lookout for any sign of trouble.
Just hold on a bit longer.
The hotel was almost there!
His sneaky demeanor made An Ning and the others laugh.
As they turned a street corner.
Only 300 meters left to the hotel.
They could already see the light of victory.
But at that moment, his body suddenly froze.
Jiangnan finally knew who left that bowl-sized pile of dog poop.
A fair-skinned girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was walking her dog.
That in itself wasn't a problem.
But the problem was.
She was walking ten purebred Tibetan Mastiffs!
Jiangnan: !!!
Girl!
Why does your family keep ten mastiffs?!
How much do you like them?!
Don't you sleep at night? Why walk the dogs?!
At that moment, the whole street went silent.
Jiangnan's eyes met the eyes of the ten mastiffs.
Cold sweat immediately broke out.
"Woof!"
What else was there to think?
Run!
Jiangnan turned and sprinted.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
The ten mastiffs went crazy, baring their teeth, looking vicious.
They charged at Jiangnan.
The blonde girl: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
She was dragged along.
Tumbling on the ground, getting scraped.
Like a sled.
No.
She wasn't just like a sled.
She WAS the sled.
Watching Jiangnan being chased wildly by ten mastiffs, she wailed in despair.
Disappearing at the end of the street.
Dragged along with them was the girl being scraped on the ground.
The team members exchanged glances, swallowing hard.
Chen Chen sighed: "He who sows injustice reaps disaster."
An Ning couldn't hold back a laugh: "Getting chased by dogs even while walking on the street... Pfft..."
Su Rui worried: "Boss Nan won't be okay, right?"
Katerina laughed slyly: "Don't worry! Good men die young! Scoundrels live a thousand years!"
Team members: ???
Yeah...
No lie.
Jiangnan's mind collapsed as he ran wildly.
Surrounded by ten mastiffs, his clothes were torn to shreds.
Full of holes.
He aimed for the mountains outside the city and teleported repeatedly.
Finally escaping the chase.
"The city is full of traps!"
"I want to go back to the countryside!"
In this deep mountain forest, surely there couldn't be any danger, right?
Jiangnan had just teleported out, catching his breath.
Then his body froze.
In front of him was a big black bear, currently engrossed in "ramming a tree."
A tree as thick as a person was shaking back and forth from its impacts.
Quite rhythmic!
Jiangnan: ???
Damn!
What the hell?!
A bear climbing a tree? Seriously?
The books didn't lie; bears really can climb trees.
Impressive! Impressive!
The black bear was also stunned.
Its pitch-black eyes looked at Jiangnan, emitting a blazing light.
It immediately stopped ramming the tree.
And charged at Jiangnan!
It was easy to imagine what Jiangnan's fate would be like the tree's if the black bear succeeded.
No way!
Enraged, Jiangnan fought the black bear right there.
He was already on top of the bear, beating it violently.
"Ha! You think I'm easy prey?!"
"Everyone wants to bully me?"
"I couldn't bear to hurt the girl's pet, but I can still take you on?!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
Black Bear: (╥_╥)
[From Black Bear: Resentment +666!]
But as the fight went on, something wasn't right.
The forest grew louder. Pairs of glowing green eyes lit up in the darkness.
Jiangnan immediately felt something was wrong.
Run!
Now, everything he did ended in bad luck.
Who knew what else could go wrong?
The forest turned into chaos because of Jiangnan's arrival, with howls and commotion.
Finally, Jiangnan spotted a large lake.
"The countryside roads are slippery too!"
"The water is awesome!"
Jiangnan burst out of the forest and made a big leap into the water.
Haha!
I'll just hold my breath and stay under, right?
There aren't any crocodiles in the lake!
Just ride out this streak of bad luck.
Boss Nan would still be Boss Nan!
But just then.
Jiangnan's eyes flew wide open, full of terror.
He felt something slimy slithering up his pant leg.
Jiangnan: !!!
...
In the hotel lobby.
The team members were all worried.
Three hours had passed, and Jiangnan still hadn't returned. Could those forces from the Hero Assembly have made a move on him?
Even Katerina couldn't stay seated.
She suddenly stood up: "I'll go look for him..."
Just then.
Jiangnan returned.
He had a dark expression.
His clothes were tattered and soaked, as if he'd been pulled out of the water.
And in his hand, he was holding a big yellow eel?
Team members: ???
What exactly did Jiangnan go through in those three hours?
How did he end up like this?
Where did the eel come from?
Jiangnan slumped onto the sofa.
Letting out a long breath.
"Phew~"
"Finally made it back alive..."
Back at the hotel.
Surely nothing could go wrong now, right?
He felt a mix of grief and anger.
The after-effects of the Lucky Little Cherry were way too strong!
Being targeted by the whole world was an indescribable torture.
Just then.
A screeching sound of brakes came from outside the hotel.
"Boom!"
A huge hole was smashed into the hotel's outer wall.
Under Jiangnan's horrified gaze.
A fully loaded truck was charging straight at him!
The hotel lobby was filled with screams.
The team members panicked.
Damn!
What's happening?!
A truck crashed into the hotel?!
Jiangnan was pinned under the truck, covered in blood.
He silently ate a Vitality Ginseng.
I'm sitting at home, and a truck still hits me?
Trouble comes knocking at home?!
Tears welled up in his eyes.
"If I ever eat Lucky Little Cherry again, I'm not human!"
"Snowy! Big Wolfie! Baby's wronged!"
"Baby wants to go home!"
...
At that moment, inside a villa.
Andrei looked serious and devout.
He boiled some water, took out a glass.
Put his Diamond treasure in the glass, added two goji berries.
Then filled the glass with hot water.
Clasping his hands together, he said piously.
"Undefeated Diamond Treasure King!"
"Strongest in nightly revelry!"
He chanted silently three times.
Then Andrei raised the glass, took a nice sip, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Slurp~ Ah!"
Andrei was taken aback.
Huh?
Why did it taste a bit strange?
Andrei scratched his head, took another sip.
Maybe...
Maybe that's how it's supposed to taste?
Just half a month, and he could become as strong as Jiangnan?
Thinking about it, he was kind of looking forward to it...
