Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

135: Park Soo-ah turns darkKilling someone, especially a relative whom one sees day in and day out, is a heavy burden.

Even though Park Soo-ah’s temperament had undergone some changes, she found it hard to steady herself at this moment.

The Colt Python, still warm, slipped from her trembling fingers and hit the blood-stained ground with a clang.

A sense of emptiness and bewilderment surged into her heart like a burst dam.

She had really killed Park Hye-min.

That cousin who had bullied her since childhood and trampled on her dignity simply because she was favored.

How would those uncles and elders scold her?

How would Grandfather view her when she returned?

Would her mother, who had always been kind, be disappointed in her?

Perhaps the moment she made her move, she had already lost her place in the Park.

After all, Park Hye-min had always belonged to the more favored branch of the main Family.

At the thought of this, Park Soo-ah’s nose stung uncontrollably, and her eyes quickly turned red, filling with tears that rolled down like broken pearls.

Two clear tear tracks traced down her beautiful face.

”Wuu, why... why have I kept yielding to them, acting so servile, yet they never let me go!”

She squatted down and sobbed softly, her shoulders heaving like a helpless little beast.

Lin Fei walked to Park Soo-ah’s side and sighed inwardly.

Who said that children of chaebols must be happy? Park Soo-ah lived quite an aggrieved life.

After all, she was saddled with such Heaven-Defying relatives, and it seemed there was more than one.

Lin Fei gently patted her shoulder.

He didn’t offer any empty, feeble comfort like ”don’t cry.”

He simply placed that striking necklace into her hand.

”Park Soo-ah, how should I put this? In this world, not everyone has a heart.”

Lin Fei’s voice was calm, yet it carried a sharpness that saw through the ways of the world.

”Some people are just beasts, beasts in human skin. Giving them your kindness and dedication is useless. We must give our love to those who are worthy and deserving. For beasts, you only need to bare your fangs and let them know pain and fear.”

Park Soo-ah raised her tear-streaked face to look at Lin Fei, her voice choked with sobs: ”Mr. Lin, I killed my sister. Am I very cruel? Am I a bad woman!”

Lin Fei looked at her tear-stained, flushed face and suddenly grinned, revealing his white teeth.

He cupped the girl’s small face, his smile wicked.

With his sufficient strength, tall stature, and handsome face, he truly deserved the descriptor ”wicked.”

”Cruel? Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. As for being a ’bad woman,’ tsk tsk.”

He pretended to ponder, then said with a hint of playfulness.

”I actually think it’s more popular now to be a ’bad woman’ with personality. To love and hate clearly, to avenge wrongs—isn’t that quite exhilarating?”

”Mr. Lin!”

Park Soo-ah still had tears in the corners of her eyes, but the gloom between her brows had dissipated significantly.

Yes, Mr. Lin was right. Why use kindness to treat those who didn’t even consider her a person? Love should be given to those who are truly worthy.

”Alright, wipe your tears. We still have real work to do,” Lin Fei said, using his thumb to wipe away the girl’s tears.

”Mm!” Park Soo-ah nodded heavily.

Afterward, under Lin Fei’s lead, the trio spent the next hour sweeping through the island map, resource points, and wild areas like fallen leaves in an autumn wind.

Whenever they met anyone, they wiped out the team.

White Widow was responsible for quickly collecting supplies and looting, while Park Soo-ah gradually adapted to this high-intensity combat rhythm, her marksmanship becoming increasingly precise and ruthless.

Soon, Park Soo-ah’s Level 3 backpack was stuffed with ten epic-grade special items—from expensive red wine to limited-edition cigars, from antique art to rare gems.

They were dazzling and valuable! It was completely full; not one more item could fit.

”Mr. Lin, my bag is truly at its limit!” Park Soo-ah looked at the dazzling red glow in her backpack, her heart filled with unprecedented satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

”Okay, time’s about up, let’s prepare to evacuate.” Lin Fei nodded and glanced at the several evacuation points that had refreshed on the map.

He hadn’t come here to make money. The items in this place were useless to him; they offered no attribute bonuses and could only be sold for killing coins.

Moreover, strengthening them to Legendary grade wouldn’t fetch much more money.

Lin Fei had asked White Widow; even if someone dropped a Golden Legendary-grade decorative item, it would only sell for three or four million killing coins.

Afterward, the three chose the nearest and relatively safe coastline evacuation point.

They sped along the way, casually clearing out two teams that tried to intercept them.

When they arrived at the coast, a small speedboat was quietly anchored within the evacuation circle designated by the System.

”Park Soo-ah, if you can’t handle things with your Family, just come to me. I’ll welcome you in Luo Country anytime.”

”Mm.”

They boarded the boat smoothly and evacuated.

A flash of light passed before their eyes, and the familiar sensation of weightlessness washed over them.

Lin Fei returned to the Node Tower in New Jeju.

As for Park Soo-ah, she appeared inside the Node Tower in Seoul.

She left quickly and went to the luxury conference room in the adjacent building, which was used for the ”Successor War” post-match summary.

The heads of the major chaebols sat upright, waiting for the final scores and rankings of the young heirs to be displayed on the huge holographic screen.

Park Soo-ah took a deep breath, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, pushed open the door, and prepared to walk toward the Park Group’s seating area.

”Slap!” A crisp, loud slap struck her face without warning.

The force was so great that her fair cheek instantly swelled red, and a trace of blood even trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Park Soo-ah staggered, her ears buzzing, and she was momentarily stunned.

She raised her head, and what came into view was the face of her eldest brother, Park Jun-hyeok, twisted with anger.

”Aish! Park Soo-ah! You bastard bitch! Do you know what you’ve done? You actually dared to kill Park Hye-min during the match! Aish! Are you trying to rebel?!”

Park Jun-hyeok roared in fury. Apparently, Park Hye-min had sought him out to complain immediately after the match ended.

And he was already closer to Park Hye-min’s branch.

Killing Park Hye-min was equivalent to slapping Park Jun-hyeok in the face.

Moreover, he had agreed with Park Hye-min that they would merge their supplies at the evacuation point, and perhaps they could have vied for first place.

Park Soo-ah’s actions had completely disrupted his plans, which was why he was so furious!

Park Soo-ah covered her burning cheek, feeling the sting of the humiliation.

Her eyes, however, became cold and sharp in an instant.

She remembered Lin Fei’s words.

An unprecedented power surged from deep within her body.

She raised her hand sharply, gauging the force Park Jun-hyeok had used.

Then, returning the favor in kind, she slapped him back hard!

”Slap!”

This slap carried more force than Park Jun-hyeok’s, and the angle was even more precise!

Park Jun-hyeok had never expected his usually weak sister to dare to fight back, nor did he expect her to be so strong. Caught off guard, he was sent spinning in the air several times.

He crashed into the chair behind him in a sorry state, his nose bleeding profusely.

”Aish! You daughter of a bitch! You! You’ve lost your mind?! You actually dare to hit me?!” Park Jun-hyeok covered his face, screaming in disbelief.

The conference room was in an uproar; everyone’s eyes were focused on the siblings, their faces filled with shock and surprise.

”Park Soo-ah! What are you doing?! How unseemly! He is your older brother; what is wrong with him teaching you a lesson? You! You! You are simply bringing shame to our Park!”

One of Park Soo-ah’s uncles slammed his hand on the table and stood up, pointing at Park Soo-ah and scolding her angrily.

In their view, Park Jun-hyeok was the inevitable candidate for the future Clan Chief, so naturally, they had to take his side.

”A small conflict between juniors, and you’ve made such a scene! Isn’t this just letting other Families watch our Park make a joke of ourselves?!” another Family elder spoke up.

Park Soo-ah looked at them coldly, the blood at the corner of her mouth making her smile appear eerie and resolute.

Watching a joke? Were the grievances and cold eyes she had suffered in the Park over the years not a joke?

She had had enough!

The former her might have flinched out of fear and worry, but now, she felt much calmer.

Mr. Lin was right; with some people, the more you tolerate, the more they push their luck.

”A joke? That’s none of my business.”
