Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 2218

The barbarian stared at his reflection in the mirror and found it unfamiliar and foreign.

He reached out and touched his face, his eyes shimmering as he tried to remember if this were the face of his memories. He tugged lightly at his ears, trying to make sure that he wasn't wearing a mask.

It took him a while before he finally concluded that this was indeed his face.

"Do you need to rest?" asked Jiang Ning as he stood by the side.

"It's fine. I've slept for decades. I don't need more sleep." The man waved the suggestion aside before turning towards Jiang Ning and glaring suddenly. "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why should I be?" asked Jiang Ning.

"Aren't you afraid that I might go on a killing spree and kill everyone here? They're not going to be able to stop me," snorted the barbarian with a hint of pride in his voice.

His every gesture appeared childish. If not for the traces of age on his face and the white in his hair, Jiang Ning would have thought him an actual kid.

"You're not a cruel man who kills innocents without reason," said Jiang Ning. "The person who cut your hair and shaved your beard is a kid in his twenties who hasn't had the chance to get married and have kids himself. Do you really have the heart to kill him and have him die with regret? The folks who brought you to the bath and gave you a massage, who drank and chatted with you, who served you and tailored your clothes are all ordinary men and women. Do you really have the heart to kill them?"

The barbarian shrugged in annoyance.

"I was just joking. You're such a bore, preaching incessantly at me. How annoying!" He glared at Jiang Ning. "But you're right. I don't kill ordinary people. If I'm going to kill anyone, it's going to be you. It's more fun."

The murderous air that had emanated from the barbarian was suddenly replaced by a mischievous and playful tone.

Jiang Ning smiled and didn't speak further.

His veneer of composure belied the notes of wary caution that he harbored against the barbarian. This was an incredible powerful fighter after all. Jiang Ning was probably the only man who was his match outside the mountain.

If the barbarian truly intended to go on a killing spree, Donghai would be transformed into rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

Jiang Ning made the necessary precautions and did not shadow the barbarian. Instead, he allowed the man to roam freely.

Everyone around him appeared to be slightly cowed by the barbarian at first and dared not approach him. But after some time, they realized that the barbarian harbored no ill will towards them and soon grew curious about the man.
