第161章 "Betrayal's Scorching Blaze"

**161章：“The Fury of the Wronged”**

Chen Yang's eyes blazed with an unquenchable fury as he stormed through the crowded streets. How could Lin Xuan, his supposed friend, betray him so forcefully? The memory of their countless late-night conversations, their shared laughter, and their unspoken trust now seemed like a cruel joke.

As he turned a corner, he spotted a familiar figure sipping coffee at a street-side café. His heart racing, Chen Yang quickened his pace, his mind fixated on the traitor's face.

Lin Xuan, oblivious to the storm brewing, looked up and saw Chen Yang approaching. His expression faltered, and he hastily gathered his belongings, ready to make a hasty exit.

"Chen Yang, what's going on?" Lin Xuan asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

Chen Yang's mouth twisted into a snarl. "What's going on? You're the one who should be asking yourself that question, Lin Xuan. How could you, of all people, betray me like this?"

Lin Xuan's eyes darted nervously around the café, as if searching for an escape route. "Chen Yang, please... let's talk about this..."

"Talk about it?" Chen Yang's voice rose, drawing the attention of nearby pedestrians. "You've had your chance to explain, and now it's too late. You've sealed your own fate, Lin Xuan."

With a cold, calculated precision, Chen Yang reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag of medicine. "You know what this is, don't you? The same medicine I gave you when you were sick. The same medicine that saved your life."

Lin Xuan's eyes widened in terror as Chen Yang's gaze pierced through him. "What are you going to do, Chen Yang?"

Chen Yang's smile grew, cruel and unforgiving. "Oh, I'm just going to return the favor. You see, Lin Xuan, this medicine has a peculiar side effect. It can cure even the most life-threatening illnesses... but only if administered with the correct dosage."

As Lin Xuan's eyes glazed over, Chen Yang's grip on the bag tightened. "And I'm the only one who knows the correct dosage. So, let's see... how much of this medicine do you think you need, Lin Xuan?"

As the crowd around them began to disperse, Chen Yang's laughter echoed through the streets, a chilling reminder of the devastating consequences of betrayal. The medicine bag clicked open, revealing a tiny vial of liquid silver. Lin Xuan's eyes locked onto it, his fate sealed.

And as the night wore on, the shadows of deceit grew longer, awaiting their next prey...
