Melody Summers watched Felix Ford’s manic display with cold eyes, remaining silent.
But it was as if a switch had been flipped in Felix Ford. He tilted his head back and looked at Melody Summers with mocking eyes, his face dripping with contempt. "You don’t know a damn thing! Heaven let me be reborn so I could build an empire!"
"Why do you think Heaven chose me, of all people, to be reborn? I’m this world’s Child of Fortune! Heaven is protecting me so I can establish a new regime, and when that happens, I’ll be the king of this world!"
After he finished speaking, Felix Ford tapped Melody Summers’s neck with the dark muzzle of his gun. With a look of utter contempt, he said, "A woman like you is just a waste of a rebirth slot! You have the chance to shake the world, but all you know how to do is cower here and scrape by... You women really are useless. Ha ha!"
Melody Summers’s eyes narrowed at his words, but Felix Ford’s index finger was already on the trigger.
He gave Melody Summers a lecherous once-over and said in a teasing tone, "It’s a shame... Your face and figure are actually right up my alley... If you were just an ordinary woman, I might have let you live. I’d have you stay by my side and serve me."
"But you just had to be one of the reborn, so I can’t leave a loose end like you alive. So long, little beauty. If you get another life... try to be a bit smarter next time!"
The instant Felix Ford was about to pull the trigger, an unbelievable scene unfolded before his eyes—Melody Summers, who had been right in front of his gun, had vanished into thin air!
In a flash, Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster locked eyes, each seeing the absolute terror in the other’s gaze—
Melody Summers vanishing on the spot proved she had a space!
’She really found the space!’
"Run!" Felix Ford yelled, turning on his heel. He knew a space could be used to kill, and he stood no chance against Melody Summers if she had one. He had to get out of there, now!
But it was too late.
The next moment, a pair of warm hands seized Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster by the arms. Melody Summers had reappeared right in front of them.
Before they could even get a clear look at her face, a wave of dizziness washed over them, and they both lost consciousness.
Melody Summers pulled both Sylvia Lancaster and Felix Ford into her space.
The alley was suddenly empty except for Melody Summers. The air grew quiet once more. She wiped the rain from her face and breathed a sigh of relief.
From the moment Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster found out she was one of the reborn, she knew she couldn’t turn them over to the police.
She had too many secrets. If Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster let something slip during a police investigation, the consequences would be unthinkable.
’Just as Felix Ford said, I truly have no desire to shake the world, overthrow the current system, or establish a new regime. All I want is to live a good life with my family. That being the case, I have to eliminate any and all destabilizing elements.’
’My only regret is that letting them die like this is getting off too easy. That Felix Ford has done nothing but evil and killed so many people. Death by a thousand cuts wouldn’t be enough for him!’
Melody Summers went home to find her family already asleep. She returned to her room and washed up quickly, but as she thought things over, a few worries gnawed at her.
’Sylvia Lancaster and Felix Ford are both reborn. This whole rebirth thing is mysterious enough as it is. If I just kill them now, will they simply be reborn again?’
’If they get another chance to be reborn, could they just end up in another timeline, continuing to wreak havoc?’
The thought gave Melody Summers a headache. ’But that’s not something I can control.’ She could only put the thoughts aside for now and enter her space to deal with the bodies of Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster.
But as soon as she entered the space, she was met with a shocking sight—
Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster, who should have been corpses, were lying on the grass, groaning in pain.
