Chapter 1147: Chapter 356: Apocalypse Heroes 5

The darkness of the world hasn’t spared Liu Jianxin,

The treachery of the martial world hasn’t spared Liu Jianxin.

Despite experiencing various injustices, Liu Jianxin always maintained his original heart.

He dreamt time and again of a person named Liu Jianxin in the martial world. People advised him to abandon the Original Heart Sword Technique, saying such swordsmanship couldn’t survive in the martial world.

Because the improvement in the Original Heart Sword Technique requires chivalrous deeds. But in this world...good people only get guns pointed at them.

Learning other martial arts and abiding by other Martial Dao is the correct way.

But Liu Jianxin didn’t want to give up his Original Heart Sword Technique.

He firmly believed that once the sword technique was mastered, one could surely become a great hero like Ye Jianxin.

Just as Liu Jianxin believed that as long as he worked diligently, sincerly, and tolerated, demurely, he could survive in the corporate world.

After the incident of harassment by female colleagues and the event of robbing credit from his leader, he became more reserved.

He chose not to compete or strive, merely doing his duty. He thought it better to start by letting everyone know he was a good person.

He practiced this constantly.

Finally, one day, the company’s leader was impeached due to behavioral issues.

A new major leader was about to promote new talents.

Liu Jianxin’s experience and ability to execute tasks made him the perfect candidate.

He thought he was finally about to reap the rewards of his perseverance, just as Liu Jianxin held fast to his original intentions, mastering the Original Heart Sword Technique.

But what followed were rumors, countless defamations.

The storm of public opinion engulfed him.

Due to his past conduct, the harassment of female colleagues, greedy advancements, and retorts to leadership, other colleagues reported him to the new major leader.

At this moment, he was labeled as a - hypocrite.

But this was not the end, the suppression of the workplace didn’t destroy Liu Jianxin’s original heart.

On the internet, Liu Jianxin often spoke up for justice under certain videos.

Yet somehow, all his privacy, his internet accounts were exposed.

It seemed like someone hidden in the dark, knowing him like the palm of their hand, revealed everything about him.

Liu Jianxin’s comments online were selectively edited, made into an email, and appeared in everyone’s inbox at the company.

The content in the inbox completely destroyed Liu Jianxin’s reputation.

Like the sensible child who worked while studying to care for disabled parents, Liu Jianxin commented: Good job, that’s how we heroes should be.

But this comment was edited into another video, the content was of an elderly person faking an accident.

The traces of such editing were subtle, the opponent’s techniques were too advanced.

All of Liu Jianxin’s words were exposed.

At this moment, Liu Jianxin was trembling, witnessing an illusion.

In that treacherous martial world, the great hero Liu Jianxin, finally due to baseless accusations, became a prisoner, paraded in a caged cart, scantily clothed.

Their taunts were like thrown vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

...

Liu Jianxin, without a doubt...was not selected.

His cautious benevolence only earned him a grand feast of malice.

The colleague he once cared for became his leader.

Liu Jianxin also realized, all of this was orchestrated by that colleague.

Thinking of how he once chivalrously smoothed over troubles for this colleague, Liu Jianxin felt...utterly ridiculous.

He seemed like a clown playing martial world games, an idiot.

"Liu Jianxin, yes, you helped me bear the penalty, I should thank you, but now you’ve made a mistake, me reporting you is quite reasonable, isn’t everyone working for the company’s benefit? I also want to become a group leader, you can’t stop me from progressing, right? What selling out friends? I call this principled!"

These words didn’t shatter the last chivalry deep in Liu Jianxin’s heart.

But his heart indeed was broken.

He could no longer stay in that company. He could only leave for a change of environment.

Despite his talent, although no longer young, he soon found a new opportunity.

Because the person interviewing him was none other than Liu Jianxin’s starting point for chivalry - Chen Juan.

At thirteen years old, that introverted girl was always bullied by a group.

She once complained to the teacher, but the teacher advised her not to be petty.

She sought help from classmates, but they were only afraid of being implicated, distancing themselves from her.

Just when she thought transferring schools was her only option...she didn’t expect that someone named Liu Jianxin would gallantly step in.

To Chen Juan, at that moment, Liu Jianxin was shining brightly.

"Can’t believe...it’s you!"

On the day of the interview, Liu Jianxin actually didn’t recognize this old classmate.

But Chen Juan, through the resume and those traits, recognized Liu Jianxin.

Thus, Liu Jianxin was hired.

He was grateful for Chen Juan’s help and finally felt the fruits of chivalry.

But soon, Chen Juan made a critical mistake, entering the wrong number in a contract amount due to a slip of the pen.

This was a fatal mistake, their company faced compensation due to this project.

At this time, Chen Juan sought Liu Jianxin.

"You... you’re just an intern, can you help me once? Can you help me once...say it was you who made the mistake!"

Crying, Chen Juan pleaded with Liu Jianxin.

At that moment, Liu Jianxin suddenly felt the world was so dark.

He’d never been so weary.

He didn’t respond to Chen Juan.

That day, Liu Jianxin left work early.

As he was walking back, unexpectedly, tears welled up in his eyes.
