"Brother Chen! It's not what you think." 

Zhu Dong tried to explain but he couldn't because he really did destroy the laptop.

"Why are you saying the lines of a guilty party? I don't blame you, Brother Zhu. I just expected better of you," Chen Kai replied. The chilling smile didn't leave his face.

A feeling of hot anger surged through Chen Kai's heart. This anger was from the remnants of the past Chen Kai's soul which assimilated with the stronger one.

The anger was from Zhu Dong's betrayal.

He was his only friend in this city, this school. They came from the same third-tier city. Zhu Dong was his only supportive friend in this big city. 

How can he not be aggrieved?

This guy destroyed his stepping stone for a good life for whatever those idiots gave him.
He chose them over him.

Chen Kai had all the right to be angry.

He clenched his fist tightly. The need to punch this guy was strong. He needed to feel how painful this betrayal is.

 The room suddenly felt too small for Zhu Dong, he can feel the walls closing in on him as Chen Kai came closer to him. Was the quiet bookworm always this fierce?  In his eyes, Brother Chen was a dangerous predator approaching him and he had no way out. It was getting too hard to breathe. He tried taking deep breaths but it didn't help. 

This beast was getting closer.

What is Chen Kai going to do? He watched on as the guy raised his hand and like a persistent snake, his clenched fist was coming towards him. He closed his eyes and raised his arms to defend himself. 
He can take this punch. Chen Kai was weak.

[Warning! Please return to the basic human state. Host, please retract Emperor's intimidation. Please settle Emperor's Rage.]

The swift punch stopped a millimeter shy of impact on Zhu Dong's arms. The guy fell to the ground when he felt a sharp wind that was following Chen Kai's punch. 

'What was that?!' Zhu Dong was at a loss for what happened.

"Tch! Fucking kids," Chen Kai muttered under his breath. He left Zhu Dong in a quivering mess and packed up his remaining belongings. He ignored the guy and left the room. 

Coincidentally, Li Feng and Lin Shen were returning, they eyed Chen Kai with a smug grin on their faces. Walking past him, they willfully bumped into him harshly but he only lowered his head and chuckled. The urge to bloody their noses was there but he pushed it down.

He was doing this for their own safety. Everything he gained from his past lives was still integrated into his body. It is the system's job to maintain his body to match the humans of this star but they can't put a seal on the host's brutal nature. 
Once provoked he will reciprocate the same actions, he wouldn't care if you're the son of the president. Just don't provoke him.

"They're just kids," he reminded himself and walked away from the two idiots.

"What a wimp! He can't even stand up for himself. He's done for. Let's see how he makes the deadline," Lin Shen commented with a triumphant smile on his face. 

Li Feng gave a snort in disdain as he watched Chen Kai leave the dorm building. He disliked the guy the moment they met in freshmen year. Everything about him was too perfect, everyone loved him even the faculty. His position in the school's popularity was in the top ten and it bother Li Feng. He was the reason why he couldn't get a girl to hook up with. They always had a motive when they approach him. They wanted to meet Chen Kai. But isn't that all he had, looks, academic superiority, and a few athletic accomplishments? What use they will have when he leaves the university?
Lin Shen's plan was the first stumbling block they created for him.
