Chapter 58: Chen Mu Never Shortchanges a Friend

Just as the Duke had said, after the capitalist anomaly slipped away from Scenic Water Garden, it felt a lingering sense of fear deep in its heart.

The joy of cheating death made it gasp heavily for breath.

"Damn it! I finally managed to save my life!"

The capitalist anomaly cursed loudly, venting the emotions churning inside.

Soon, once the relief of surviving subsided, a deep ache began to tug at its heart for its lost villas.

All those huge houses of mine, just given away for nothing!

The capitalist anomaly's heart was bleeding!

Along with the heartache, a fierce hatred toward Chen Mu welled up inside it.

Damn it! That brat just happened to have a few friends and, relying on that fucking Duke, snatched away the entire Scenic Water Garden, causing it to suffer a massive loss.

When thinking this way, it completely forgot that Chen Mu had initially been extremely sincere, and it was the anomaly itself that had tried to extort Chen Mu heavily.

If Chen Mu hadn't had such backing, the one kneeling, begging for mercy, and bleeding a fortune at this moment would have been Chen Mu.

"No way, I can't swallow this insult! Sooner or later, I will get my revenge on Chen Mu for what happened at Scenic Water Garden!

That fucking Duke might be able to protect Chen Mu for a while, but I refuse to believe he can protect him for a lifetime!"

The capitalist anomaly cursed viciously, failing to notice a taxi on the highway behind it, slowly trailing right in its footsteps.

"Sir, need a ride?"

The taxi pulled up beside it, and the driver rolled down the window, calling out to the capitalist anomaly.

"Get lost! I'm in a very bad mood right now, piss off if you don't want to die!"

The capitalist anomaly snapped viciously, completely oblivious to the fact that the taxi driver was also an anomaly.

"You look very angry. Could it be that you just can't swallow this grievance?"

"What happened just now? Huh? How would a driver like you know about my business!"

Sensing something was amiss, the capitalist anomaly looked over at the driver, only to be shocked to discover that the driver was not only an anomaly, but also possessed a level of power far exceeding its own.

"My boss said that if you can't swallow this grievance, then let me help you take your final breath instead."

The driver opened the door and stepped out, walking toward the capitalist anomaly.

"Your boss?"

The capitalist anomaly was struck with panic as it sensed imminent danger!

Suddenly, it remembered that earlier, when Chen Mu sent out a card, he had handed it to a taxi!

At the time, it had even laughed at Chen Mu, thinking he had no real influence and had simply hailed a cab to deliver a card.

Never in its wildest dreams had it imagined that this taxi driver was Chen Mu's personal chauffeur!

Furthermore, a mere driver of his possessed strength superior to its own!

The gap between their powers was simply too vast; what did it have left to fight Chen Mu with?

However, this time, no one would grant it a second chance.

The driver faithfully executed Chen Mu's command, ensuring that the capitalist anomaly could henceforth enjoy the sleep of an infant, complete with a full twenty-four hours of uninterrupted slumber every single day.

Scenic Water Garden.

Inside the villa.

The moment Chen Mu signed the contract, a surge of potent energy poured into his body.

This sensation was one Chen Mu had already experienced twice before!

Moments later, Chen Mu could feel that, at this very instant, the entire Scenic Water Garden had been incorporated into his domain.

This was forcibly protected by the supreme power of the apocalyptic anomaly realm—the Rules!

From this day forward, the entire Scenic Water Garden belonged to Chen Mu's sphere of influence!

"Congratulations to my young friend Chen Mu on moving into your new home," the Duke congratulated with a smile.

"Congratulations, Boss."

"Congratulations, Master."

"Congratulations to our esteemed Supreme Black Gold VIP."

Several anomaly friends all expressed their heartfelt congratulations to Chen Mu.

At the same time, Chen Mu's strength had also undergone a significant boost.

He had advanced from his initial standing as a junior anomaly commander all the way to a mid-level anomaly commander.

However, the progression stopped right there.

Chen Mu quickly figured out the reason behind this.

First, Scenic Water Garden itself was not a massive faction, but rather a luxurious villa complex primarily serving residential functions.

Therefore, the boost in strength it provided him was bound to be smaller compared to massive organizations like Midnight Hotel or Dark Night Academy.

Secondly, as Chen Mu's level increased, the speed required to advance further was bound to slow down.

Gaining a minor rank boost entirely from Scenic Water Garden already left Chen Mu quite satisfied.

After all, if he really thought about it, how many days had it been since his rebirth?

In just three days' time, he had transformed from an ordinary, unremarkable person into a mid-level anomaly commander!

Such a velocity could no longer be described as riding a rocket!

Witnessing the rapid growth of Chen Mu's strength, besides feeling happy for him, the Duke also felt a trace of envy.

It really is good to be a wealthy man!

Back in the day, he had fought tooth and nail on the battlefield, battling his way out of encirclements time and time again, just to earn an upgrade in strength.

It had taken the Duke three whole years to go from an ordinary anomaly citizen to an anomaly commander!

Chen Mu had done it in three days!

An upgrade speed hundreds of times faster! Even fantasy novels wouldn't dare to write it this way.

Such a growth rate was simply heaven-defying!

Feeling the surge in his power and having acquired Scenic Water Garden for nothing, Chen Mu was in a wonderful mood.

The entire Scenic Water Garden contained a total of forty-six villas.

Among them, the largest and most luxurious was the crown jewel of the estate—a super-large space spanning several thousand square meters, equipped with a swimming pool, a tennis court, a lawn, and a golf course.

Chen Mu intended to keep this most luxurious villa for his own residence.

The remaining forty-five villas varied in luxury and size.

They surrounded the crown jewel in a protective formation.

Naturally, Chen Mu could never live in all these villas by himself.

He glanced at his anomaly friends, none of whom had ever held anything back when it came to him.

Just now, in the dead of night, the moment his card arrived, they had dropped everything and rushed over to help him out.

When the Duke received the card, he had been hosting a dinner party at the Fog Museum, accompanying a few unlucky souls through an anomaly mission.

Upon receiving Chen Mu's invitation, the Duke didn't hesitate for a second, grabbing his coat on the spot and leaving, completely abandoning the anomaly mission.

Those few unlucky humans had watched their big boss walk away in a hurry halfway through the meal, staring at each other in blank dismay, wondering who could possibly make the big boss care so deeply.

Since the Duke and the others had shown such loyalty and come to back him up, Chen Mu certainly wouldn't treat his friends poorly.

With a grand wave of his hand, Chen Mu pointed at one of the villas and said to the Duke, "Duke, if you don't mind, let's consider this villa yours to use as a vacation home."

Hearing Chen Mu say this, a look of surprise appeared on the Duke's face.

He and Chen Mu shared an excellent relationship, and coming to help Chen Mu tonight was entirely out of mutual friendship; he had never expected any reward in return.

Yet with a casual wave, Chen Mu was gifting him a villa worth millions.

The Duke quickly declined, "No, no, no, my young friend Chen Mu is being too polite. I merely lent a helping hand; there is no need at all to give away something so valuable."
