Chapter 219

After stepping off the platform, Bai Xingshu didn’t waste any time—he immediately sent a message to his classmate and attached the final call log with the scumbag Alpha.

Bai Xingshu thought that whether it was letting the scumbag know they already had the evidence, or the guy’s panicked reaction at the end, the victims deserved to see it all.

His classmate replied quickly, their excitement practically leaping off the screen: “Great! It’s even better if this bastard knows now!”

“Little Shang says tonight's perfect—let him taste what it feels like waiting for the axe to fall, that unbearable dread!!” The wait before death is always worse than death itself.

Reading this, Bai Xingshu chuckled and shook his head. Even though the original owner wasn’t around, seeing the victims satisfied still gave him satisfaction.

So he asked if they needed anything else, and as expected, got turned down.

“Thanks, Brother Bai! We’ve got it from here!!” came the reply.

It was the very same response the original would’ve received. Bai Xingshu smiled again and shook his head.

He wasn’t involved in any of these timelines. Since they said so, he didn’t ask further.

The next day, everyone showed up at the training grounds as usual—but for a change, no one jumped straight into practice.

At Capital Military University, nothing stayed secret for long.

Just like how, back in the original timeline, the details of Shen Geng’s pre-enrollment incident had made the rounds in the dorms before he even arrived on campus, Bai Xingshu’s harsh training session with Luo Yu was now common knowledge.

So when they arrived today, clearly nobody had practice on their minds. All eyes were fixed on where the scumbag stood.

Surrounded by a dozen cold-faced Betas and Omegas—male and female alike—was the scumbag himself.

Once they learned about his two-timing ways, the two victims Bai Xingshu had specifically named moved fast, quickly reaching out to others.

They really didn’t need Bai Xingshu’s help anymore. With one of them being a Comms Department student, once they had a lead, they wasted no time digging up a long list of people who’d dated the scumbag Alpha.

Students admitted to a top-tier school like Capital Military University weren’t exactly humble. Upon learning the truth, even those who had already broken up with him could barely hold back their rage.

So they stayed up all night comparing chat logs with the scumbag Alpha.

With the victims and their friends and allies working together, within just a few hours, they managed to map out a complete timeline of his romantic history since enrollment.

When the analysis was done, everyone was speechless.

Honestly, it was a miracle this guy had managed to stay in Class B without slipping further.

Almost as soon as freshman year started, he’d been playing the field nonstop, never taking a break between relationships.

In fact, having only one girlfriend at a time was rare—he was usually stringing along two or even three at once. A true master of time management!

He was always chasing the thrill of something new. The moment things stopped feeling fresh, he’d cut things off abruptly and start hunting for the next target.

Even worse, he was a pro at playing the victim—blaming them for everything, saying things like “being with you felt suffocating,” “I couldn’t handle the pressure,” or “I’m exhausted from always trying to please you,” twisting it all to make it seem like their fault.

Many of these victims had actually believed they were somehow flawed in the relationship.

Now, after uncovering the truth—

What the actual fuck?!

These guys certainly had grievances to air and scores to settle!

"I was wondering why you suddenly texted me 'baby' that day—turns out it was meant for someone back home (on another planet)!"

"Pfft, at the start of sophomore year, you messaged saying you missed me so much after not seeing me for a while. I thought, didn’t we go on several dates during the long vacation? Turns out it was meant for someone back home (on another planet)!"

"That day we agreed to meet at the library, but you suddenly said you were busy when the time came. So it was because someone hurt their hand while repairing equipment, and you had to take them to the infirmary—how *thoughtful* of you!"

"I kept wondering why you randomly sent me a cute sticker mid-convo. Turns out you were getting pretty cozy with someone else at the time!"

The victims' voices oozed sarcasm. Under the collective gaze of the entire school, Scumbag Alpha’s face was a mix of humiliation and shame, but mostly fury.

Still stuck in his self-centered ways, his inner thoughts were dominated by resentment toward these people, convinced they were deliberately trying to humiliate him!

Sure, he’d dated a lot of people, but didn’t they have fun too during the relationships?

But the scumbag Alpha also knew just how vile his thoughts were, so of course, he didn’t dare voice these retorts.

On some level, he knew he should apologize, but as the victims’ taunts continued, his fists clenched tighter and tighter until he finally snapped, shouting at them, "I already admitted I was wrong! Can’t you quit making a scene?!"

He thought this counted as an apology, but in reality, it only fueled the victims’ rage.

They were all military academy students, and quite a few of the scumbag Alpha’s exes were from the Combat Department. Someone shoved him right away, snapping, "You still think you’re right?!"

Already fried from last night’s drama and barely any sleep, the scumbag Alpha couldn’t handle the overwhelming pressure of being watched by so many. The shove sent him over the edge.

He swung at them.

Sure, Scumbag Alpha usually dated students beneath him academically—enjoying their slight admiration—but that only worked one-on-one.

One-on-one, he might’ve stood a chance. But now, he was up against a crowd.

Not everyone was Bai Xingshu, capable of taking on a hundred alone.

Outnumbered, he got pinned fast. Punches and kicks flew at him. As military cadets, regardless of their department, everyone had some training in close combat. They knew where to hit to avoid serious damage—and where it’d hurt worst. Soon, Scumbag Alpha was howling.

Bai Xingshu had originally planned to jump in when the two victims took action yesterday, considering it a way to complete the modified task left by the original host.

—Last night’s mecha fight could’ve been a lesson *or* payback, but it was hard to say if it fulfilled the task requirements.

However...

Bai Xingshu took in the scene silently, where he had zero room to step in, and mused to the system: [System, the original host’s request didn’t specify that I had to be the one to do it personally, right?]

[Besides...] Seeing the victims’ faces light up with satisfaction, Bai Xingshu smiled slightly, [I think he’d prefer this outcome over me doing it myself.]

The system pondered for a moment, analyzing what it knew of the original host’s personality from their interactions. A few seconds later, it agreed: [Received. Preliminary judgment: task requirements met. Submitting task now.]

The whole beatdown of Scumbag Alpha was recorded and uploaded to the task log.

Submission.

Bai Xingshu expected the evaluation to take a while, but after just a brief moment, a sharp *ding* rang out.

The sound of a completed task.

—The time flow in the original body's world was fast, so he confirmed it quickly too.

[Task completed.] Bai Xingshu listened to the robotic voice of the system announcing mechanically inside his head, but his ears also caught the voices of the victims nearby who had just exacted their revenge, waving at him.

Just as they’d planned beforehand, they raised their voices together in gratitude.

"Boss Bai, thank you for standing up for us!!"

Bai Xingshu leaned against the railing, watching them with a smile and energetically waving back. He shouted in response, "No need to thank me! I was just carrying out a favor—give your thanks to him!"

"Who?" the wronged group called out loudly.

"Someone just like you…" Bai Xingshu turned his gaze toward the bastard Alpha, completely sprawled on the ground, curled into a ball and still howling in misery, "…someone this guy betrayed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xingshu felt something in his mind begin to fade away.

He paused, instinctively doing what he always did—he tried muting the system again.

But this time, no operation prompt popped up.

That infuriating thing—the system that had brought him both trouble and help—was gone.

Bai Xingshu fell silent. He felt oddly unsettled.

Yet…

His eyes cut through the crowd and landed precisely on Shen Geng, standing at the entrance of the command room.

His eyes crinkled into a smile.

From now on, he could live exactly as Shen Geng once told him—

Free to live as he pleased.

To love whoever he wanted.
