2 packages of instant noodles

Afterward, everyone scattered in fear, their souls nearly fleeing their bodies. Though they all knew chaos was inevitable, to think someone would commit murder? Or perhaps everyone was just frightened out of their wits.

However, at this moment, Cathy suddenly stood up and walked towards Christian. Christian's will was already beginning to dissipate, but when he saw his wife approaching, a glimmer appeared in his eyes as if reflecting light.

Cathy reached out and forcefully pulled the knife from Christian's throat. With a loud pop, the knife came out, and she plopped down on the ground. Christian held his wound with one hand and pointed at Eugene with the other, indicating that his wife had saved him from the attacker.

Cathy swung the knife, intending to strike Eugene. However, instead of aiming at him, the blade landed on Christian's face.

Splat!

The knife hit bone, unable to penetrate, but it blinded one of Christian's eyes. His remaining eye widened in disbelief, unable to fathom that his obedient wife would turn against him like this.

He stared incredulously at Cathy, finding her betrayal even more unbelievable than Eugene's attack.

Cathy pulled back the knife and struck again, repeatedly, until she was exhausted, then collapsed, sobbing uncontrollably. She felt wronged, she felt resentful! She had sacrificed so much for her husband, yet in the end, he not only failed to understand her but also sold her off for ten packs of instant noodles.

Once a woman madly in love turns dark, it's no longer a joke!

Eugene grimaced. He dared not sleep next to such a woman; who knew if she'd stab him in the middle of the night?

Yet, Cathy stood up once again, staggering towards Eugene. Her clothes were soaked in blood, giving her a terrifying appearance. However, she managed to flash a seductive smile at Eugene: "Can I use your bathroom? As a favor, I'll let you have me once, free of charge."

Such blunt words, she would never have uttered them before, but now she seemed unconcerned. It seemed the shock of being betrayed so harshly by her husband had taken a toll on her.

Eugene chuckled lightly, "Sure."

He took Cathy to the villa. Isabel, after a moment's hesitation, followed suit. Being alone with a corpse was too frightening.

Cathy took a bath while Eugene sat nearby, leisurely sipping tea. Isabel shivered in fear.

Half an hour later, Cathy emerged. How much water had she used? Eugene didn't bother counting. He didn't care. With the amount of water he had, he could wash for a hundred lifetimes, yet he wouldn't run out!

"Come on!" Cathy was only wrapped in a thin towel. She struck a sexy pose, teasingly letting the towel fall to the ground.

Eugene chuckled, "Do you think I'm a stallion? Just did it a moment ago, now again? Here, wear this new dress. If you want more tomorrow, you can come to me, but let me make it clear, once you've been with me, you can't be with any other man. I'm a bit of a clean freak."

He didn't want the hassle of blood tests every time.

So, he'd rather not have such a woman.

Cathy and Isabel left. Eugene gave them some advice, like locking the door tighter and not opening it for anyone, and making sure no one was lurking outside before leaving.

Of course, the latter was highly unlikely.

Because it was too cold outside!

Mystic Hills had never been colder than ten degrees below zero, and the winter clothes weren't warm enough. So, while it was okay to go out for a walk, staying outside for too long? Nobody could bear that.

This is still just temperatures in the teens below zero. If it reaches extreme cold temperatures of forty or fifty degrees below zero, the frigid air would be even more damaging to the lungs.

Just twenty minutes in such cold could severely harm one's internal organs, and it wouldn't be surprising if someone died.

So, as long as one pays more attention before going out, it should be fine.

Eugene was being so verbose because Cathy was attractive and had a good figure.

He wasn't ready to let go of such a sexual partner yet; if Cathy were assaulted by someone else, he certainly wouldn't want her anymore.

He pondered for a moment. If he publicly killed Christian, he would surely become a demon king in the neighborhood.

The downside was that everyone would avoid him, fearing they might also get attacked.

The upside was that most people wouldn't dare to provoke him either. It seemed like a balanced trade-off.

Eugene chuckled to himself. After this incident, people would surely speculate that he had a lot of resources, so many would be eyeing him.

He wasn't afraid of the obvious threats; he could always expose the secret of the alternate space and slaughter them all if need be.

But if possible, he still wanted to play with the "adorable" neighbors for a few more days. Being trapped in the neighborhood with just himself alive would be too boring.

Sex was indeed enjoyable, but one couldn't do it all day, right?

So, Eugene considered everyone in the neighborhood as his toys. Once someone had died once, what conscience or benevolence could you expect from them? Not doing evil was, in fact, the greatest good.

News of Christian's death spread rapidly throughout the neighborhood, causing a stir. As a result, several people gathered to hold a meeting, and of course, Eugene was the topic of discussion.

The one leading the charge was Garth, who had once been involved in gangs and ranked fourth. So, he was known as Garth, and he still had some reputation in the neighborhood. Therefore, under his leadership, a meeting targeting Eugene was convened.

The meeting took place at Garth's house, and to everyone's surprise, although Garth was forty years old, he had a woman in her twenties at home, who looked decent.

Someone recognized the woman and exclaimed, "Isn't this Forrest's wife, Kama?"

Upon hearing her identity revealed, Kama couldn't help but tremble, about to speak up.

Slap!

Garth swiftly slapped her, scolding, "Go back to the room!"

Then, Garth explained to the others, "This woman abandoned her husband for a meal and begged me to take her in with a pitiful face. I took pity on her and gave her a meal, and warmed the bed for her."

The others smiled knowingly, but in the next moment, they all glanced at Garth with a hint of disgust!

You, Garth, an old rogue, what food could you possibly have at home? So, instead of saying that the young bride coveted your food, it's more like you harmed the couple, killed the husband, stole the food, and abducted the wife. This interpretation would be more believable.

Don't believe it? Knock on the neighbor's door and see if Forrest will come out to answer! Guarantee no one would respond.

And if they were to break down the door, they might just find Forrest's corpse, but it was too cold now for the body to emit any odor; otherwise, they might smell it through a few doors and walls.

But why did that matter to them?

They had indeed come to discuss how to deal with Eugene, but was it really for justice?

Impossible!

Where would you find so many busybodies now?

They came because they speculated Eugene had a lot of resources, so many were coming for him. After all, Eugene had killed Christian without batting an eye. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a ruthless person? Only with many people could they muster the courage and confidence to kill him and seize all his resources.

Someone even grinned and asked Garth, "How's the taste of the young wife?"

"Tight!" Garth laughed heartily, seeing the other person showing some interest, he added, "I'll let you play with her for just two packs of instant noodles, or an equivalent amount of food. For meat, 400 grams would do."

The person thought about it but ultimately refused. Too expensive.

This Kama couldn't really be considered a beauty; she just had a good figure, especially her buttocks, round and plump. But worth two packs of instant noodles?
