Here To Rescue You

2.1

The Mafia Head's Little Princess

The night sky hung over the city like a vast canvas adorned with scattered stars, their distant glow muted by the ambient lights of towering buildings. The city sprawled beneath, a tapestry of lights flickering in the night. A sleek, black luxury car glided through the labyrinth of streets, its polished exterior reflecting the kaleidoscope of the city, its tires humming a rhythmic melody against the asphalt.

Within the luxurious cocoon of the black car, an air of palpable tension pervaded the massive interior. The driver, hidden behind tinted windows, gripped the steering wheel in nervousness, head perspiring with cold sweat. His eyes glanced on the rearview mirror towards the backseat of the car where the head of the Chinese Mafia, Qian Renshu, sat in stoic silence, his sharp gaze fixed on the city unfolding beyond the tinted windows.

Seated across from Qian Renshu, his loyal right hand man, Gao Yu, was currently on a call. The jagged scar that ran across his right eye turned sharper under the dim glow of the car's interior, making his visage appear colder and fiercer.

"Yes, I understand. I'll let the boss know." As Gao Yu spoke into the phone, the tension in the car seemed to escalate with each passing word. The ambient hum of the tires against the road felt like a drumroll building up to an ominous revelation.

When Gao Yu hung up the call, his cold gaze turned to Qian Renshu, and spoke, "Boss, the young lady is in Stellar Nightclub."

His voice was low and measured. He exchanged a brief, uneasy glance with the driver, who continued navigating the urban maze, now with a heightened sense of urgency.

Qian Renshu's expression remained stoic, but the intensity in his eyes betrayed the gravity of the situation. His fingers drummed lightly on the armrest, a subtle display of the simmering frustration beneath his composed exterior.

A tense silence hung in the air as the words settled like a leaden fog inside the luxurious car. The driver's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel, acutely aware of the storm brewing in the backseat.

Qian Renshu's jaw clenched, and finally spoke, "Drive there."

As if finally given a reprieve, both the driver and Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "Understood."

Qian Renshu closed his eyes. Nobody knew that his soul had been replaced just a minute ago.

It was at that moment, the childish voice that he hadn't heard in a while rang again in his mind.

[Welcome to the second world, Host! How was your first trip to the first world so far?]

"Adequate." He Qing Nian irritably answered, frowning due to the sudden transmigration into this new body.

[Allow me to brief you on your current progress. Acquired Soul Fragment of Rong Lu Xue: 1/10.] The childish voice explained, [You have now transmigrated into the second world in which the second Soul Fragment resides.]

"By the way, I forgot to ask. What about the soul of Rong Lu Xue in the first world? At that time, why do you take me away without warning? Can't I accompany her until she dies?"

[Her existence in every world that you're sent to, has and will always be an anomaly to the residents living in those worlds. With you taking away her soul fragment, her existence will no longer exist in those worlds. The original plot in those worlds will also be rebooted accordingly.] The childish voice cheerfully said, [The moment her happiness index was fulfilled, her soul fragments are ripe for picking, and you have no purpose living in those worlds longer than needed. That is the reason why I took you away.]
