Chapter 2—Psycho Villains {2 1/2}
Chu Dynasty, Imperial Capital, Chu Palace.
The southwest wing of the Chu palace housed more than 100 rooms within four floors—it is where female servants and maids stay, the female servants' quarters.
In one of those maids' rooms, a horrific thing was taking place. The wooden room was plain without any exotic decorations expected from royal servants. Though the room was plain, it was made from Rank 3 superhuman hundred-year Crimson Brown Wood.
Ordinary objects were used as furniture—delicate cotton yellow female servant robes given by the palace were hung over the west wall of the room, a wooden bed with rough patches of bedding was placed next to the right side of the wall.
A vase was placed at the corner of the wall, which was used to store water.
On the patched bedding, a handsome young man with long red hair, striking oval face, red soft eyes, sharp chin, medium build body, forced himself on a beautiful lady who seemed to be 18 years old.
She had porcelain white skin, a perfect body with perfect curves in the right places. She was a jade beauty who would make men feel happy with just her appearance.
But she had tears in her eyes as the young man pinned her down. If any man had seen her crying, they would get furious.
Seeing her red eyes with tears, the man tightened his grip on her throat and whispered in her ear, "Don't you want your family to live? If you cooperate, I will leave your family alive; if not, they will die a brutal death."
Hearing the cold threat from the young man, the woman replied, "Yes, yes, I'll cooperate— don't kill them, don't kill them. I'll cooperate, cooperate, your highness, tenth prince."

Time passed by….
After an hour, the Tenth Prince came out of the room. The hallway of quarters was decorated with calligraphy, trinkets, and statues of soldiers, animals on both sides, each statue was 5 meters apart.
In the hallway, guards were roaming with swords and spears.
The three servants who were waiting at the entrance of the room knelt before the Tenth Prince. These servants were his followers.
He placed his hands behind his back and declared to his servants, "I am rewarding her to you; three of you go enjoy her."
Hearing his words, the three followers had a gleeful smile and rushed towards the room. In their entire lives, they hadn't touched a beauty similar to her, much less do body combination exercise.
The Tenth Prince left the female servant quarters for his room, which was on the other side of the palace—the northeast wing, the prince's quarters. It was a massive area in the palace—it housed more than 100 rooms, with more than five floors.
Each emperor would have more than a hundred kids; the tenth prince entered the royal garden area and enjoyed the breeze, which carried the sweet smell of flowers.
He then entered the royal pond from the royal garden. The pond was clean with crystal clear water, and many kinds of fishes; aquatic life was brimming with life in it.
He then entered the training area in the palace, which was exclusive for royal family members; the shouts of the princes and princesses training echoed through the training arena.
In the northeast area of the training area, princes' quarters were housed.
Walking through the hallway of the prince's quarters, the royal elegance could be enjoyed; unlike the hallway in the servants' area, the hallway was decorated with clean carpet, which was embroidered with flowers and many delicate figures from Rank four Dark Tempered Gold metal.
The statues here were made from Rank fourth metal—White Iron.
He entered the tenth room on the first hallway on the fourth floor, after taking many turns and climbing stairs.
He entered the room, which was very big for a 17-year-old, with a 5-meter bed adorned with soft silk sheets on a soft mattress. The sheets on the bed were embroidered with the gold dragon symbol. The room had a nice smell of sandalwood.
The walls of the room were adorned with exotic trinkets, costly calligraphy, and paintings of beautiful women.
The bed was in the right corner of the room, sticking to the wall.
A mirror in the left corner of the room—a full-body mirror. He had a casket next to the bed, and on the ceiling was a chandelier, which would light up with spiritual energy in the night.
He sat on the bed cross-legged and clapped his hands, calling "Blood Shadow Four."
Without even a moment's delay, a person with black clothes appeared in front of him and knelt before him, who had a sword on his waist.
He was fully covered from head to bottom with black clothes. The only thing visible was his veiny red eyes.
"At your command, your highness," he spoke in a hoarse voice.
Blood shadow—a secret force exclusive to the Chu royal family. Every royal member is accompanied by a blood shadow for their safety.
"Kill her family. Her parents, her brother, her sister, while recording—no one should be left alive, and their deaths should be brutal." He ordered with a grin as he handed him a recording orb, which was a blue sphere that could be held in a single palm.
"As you command, Your Highness." He disappeared the next moment, accepting the command.
'What incredible speed,' Tenth Prince mused, amazed by the speed as he couldn't even get a glimpse of his movement.
------
Time passed by….
An hour later, Blood Shadow Four appeared with the orb, passing it to him.
Tenth Prince injected his blood qi into the orb. The orb projected an image of 5 meters. In the image was the house of the servant girl. The house was a simple hut in the slums of the outer Imperial capital.
The slums in the outer imperial capital were purposely created by the emperor to keep the undercover and illegal actions unnoticed by people.
All secret and illegal things take place in the slums, like assassination orders. And it is also where people who come to the Imperial city from far away for a better life live, imagining a better life. Until they had entered the Imperial capital, they couldn't have imagined such a dangerous life.
The image showed the deaths of the servant girl's family, who were killed by Blood Shadow Four.
And it wasn't a nice death; Blood Shadow Four didn't kill them all in one go.
He killed the middle-aged man first and waited for one minute as the remaining family members begged him to let them go, then killed another one and waited for one more minute. The cycle continued until he killed them all.
Seeing the deaths of family members of the servant girl, the tenth prince laughed, "Kekekeke".

The system notifications appeared in front of Tenth Prince—Chu Qi. Seeing the notification, he was nostalgic about the novels he read in his previous life.
