I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 130: Chapter 29: Leap of Faith

Hearing the mocking voice of his daughter ringing out.

Shang Zhengchuan’s face darkened instantly.

In his lifetime, there are a few taboo topics that he cannot mention, one of which is his wife.

Everyone knows where Shang Zhengchuan’s wife went, but no one dares to speak of it.

To meet the Can Shang Company executives’ timeline demands for the Mechanical Ascension project, Shang Zhengchuan deceived his wife to awaken as an Awakened, then sent her to the Mechanical Research Institute, where she became a test subject for the project.

The Mechanical Ascension project progressed smoothly, and Shang Zhengchuan received affirmation from the company’s executives, successfully becoming the next Captain of the Shang Family.

At that time, only five-year-old Shang Siteng witnessed it all with her own eyes.

Shang Zexian was only three years old then and not around, and Shang Siteng never told him about these events.

She watched as her father locked her mother in the Mechanical Research Institute’s laboratory.

No matter how her mother struggled, pounded, or pleaded, he seemed not to hear, staring numbly at it all.

What does this mean for a five-year-old child?

”Shang Siteng, today is your joyful day, I won’t argue with you,” Shang Zhengchuan said in a low voice.

”Argue with me? Why, just because you’re the Captain of the Shang Family?”

”Shang Zhengchuan, you are just a piece of trash who sold his wife for glory. I’m going to say this at the wedding, right in front of all the live broadcast cameras!”

”Enough!” Shang Siteng’s words finally infuriated Shang Zhengchuan, and he rushed forward, slapping her across the face.

The four Abnormal Skeleton Warriors didn’t dare stop him, stepping aside.

The slap landed firmly on Shang Siteng’s face, making her stagger and fall backward.

At this moment, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The supposedly solid floor-to-ceiling windows suddenly shattered into countless fragments, collapsing with a roar!

Shang Siteng’s body fell backward, unobstructed, tumbling out of the window, where it was a hundred-story skyscraper!

Shang Zhengchuan finally panicked.

He wasn’t worried that Shang Siteng would die from the fall but because it was his slap that caused her to fall.

All the Abnormal Skeleton Warriors saw this.

If Shang Siteng’s death caused the plan to capture Han Zhan to fail, then the Can Shang Company executives could impeach him, and the position he painstakingly climbed to over the years would be taken away!

This was unacceptable to Shang Zhengchuan!

But it was too late.

Watching Shang Zhengchuan frantically reaching down, hoping to catch her, Shang Siteng’s face finally showed a trace of mocking smile.

”You weren’t even interested in learning what my Contracted Spirit Ability was. Otherwise, my plan wouldn’t have succeeded.”

”Goodbye, ugly father.”

”Goodbye, disgusting family.”

”Goodbye, my dear brother.”

”And, goodbye, Han Zhan...”

Shang Siteng thought of this, her eyes showing a hint of sorrow and relief.

The Can Shang Company wanted to use her as bait to lure Han Zhan; this wedding was an outright trap.

The solution to breaking this trap was simple.

To make this ”bait” no longer valuable as a bait.

Breaking the game with death.

Her falling body opened its arms, diving down like a fledgling bird, resolutely learning to fly.

That was the freedom she yearned for!

The leap of faith, a rapid descent!

...

The entire city’s live broadcast showed two figures appearing in Tianhe Building’s square.

Everyone also saw the Abnormal Skeleton Warriors ambushing from outside, Can Shang Company’s combat forces assembling from all directions, and those Destruction Titans descending from the sky.

All these scenes were broadcasted on the ubiquitous large screens.

Every resident of Titan City was stunned.

What is this development?

Judith also saw this scene.

She saw the figure of the person she had been thinking about, along with the little robot inseparable from him.

”Mr. Bob!”

Judith exclaimed, surprisingly running out instinctively, heading towards Tianhe Building.

Neighbors who knew Judith tried to stop her kindly. ”Judith, where are you going? Can’t you see there’s a battle about to break out? Go back to your home and hide!”

”I want to go to Tianhe Building.”

”What for? Didn’t you see the broadcast? There’s a battle breaking out, that young man and that robot, they’re terrifying.”

”Mr. Bob is a good man!”

”What good man? You’re a foolish woman; anyone who provokes the Can Shang Company is a bad person. Don’t you understand? What relationship do you have with him?”

”I, I like him!”

”Are you crazy?” The neighbors looked at Judith in shock, as if meeting her for the first time.

Unexpectedly, Judith’s eyes were incredibly determined.

”No, you are the crazy ones.”

After saying this, she truly ran towards Tianhe Building without looking back.

The broadcast continued.

After Shang Jianyue summoned all the Destruction Titans he had prepared over the past three days, both sides concluded the phase of brandishing weapons and were about to start fighting in earnest.

At this moment, amidst the urgent sound of violins, cameras captured a figure rapidly falling from the high sky of Tianhe Building.

It was a woman in a wedding dress!

Shang Siteng!

Seeing the scene of Shang Siteng falling, everyone was once again shocked, their mouths open wide, incredulously watching the protagonist plummeting on screen.

There were no aircraft present, no means of rescue!

To capture Han Zhan alive, knowing he could perform space transfers with the Void Black Hole, the entire Titan City was filled with Space Stabilizers today.

Flight was impossible.

Shang Siteng’s death was inevitable.

The people outside the screen instinctively closed their eyes, not daring to witness the impending blood-splattered scene.

The violin music abruptly stopped at this moment.

At this time, a young man’s voice clearly sounded in everyone’s ears.

”Zither Tune No. 3, Joyful Wind!”

The owner of that voice was Han Zhan!

Due to using his Talent, Han Zhan’s disguise had vanished, returning to his original appearance.

Countless strands of dense, slender wind arose throughout Titan City, gathering in one place, lifting Han Zhan up into the air, and at the last moment, he caught the woman in the wedding dress in mid-air!

Shang Siteng felt a warm embrace.

This was different from her imagined sensation of death.

Surprised, she opened her eyes blankly and met Han Zhan’s gaze.

”You came. Long time no see.”

Looking at the docile-as-a-cat Shang Siteng in his arms, Han Zhan also spoke:

”I came. Long time no see.”
