1 Fifth Reincarnation (1)

Shing Restaurant, District 3 Main Street Branch

BOGSH!

A peaceful dinner of the citizens was interrupted by the loud crashing noise outside the restaurant. Everyone was startled and horrified. Some jolted by the sound while others trembled in fear and gripped their glasses tightly.

"What happened?!"

"What was that?!"

A few more seconds passed and the people who were eating in the Shing Restaurant abruptly stood from their seats. All of them worriedly looked and glanced in the direction of the sound. The staff of the restaurant also put down the spoons and plates and ran outside to see exactly what happened.

"Shit! Call for an emergency! Quick! Someone has had a car accident! It's a car accident! The car crashed on the cemented wall!" a panicked voice of a man sounded that caused everyone to come out of the restaurant and gathered along the sidewalk. The man was wearing the security guard uniform of the restaurant.

"I've got his identification card here. His belongings are all over the place," the other man stated. He was the waiter that hastily ran outside after hearing the sound. He thoughtfully collected the ID and the disfigured briefcase that were on the ground.

"Is he alive? Check the car! Let's break that window!"

"Maybe he is drunk?! Did anybody call for help already?"

"He really collided his car on the wall! Check if he is still alive!"

Hearing the chatter and panicked voices of the people, Lui Chen raised his head and scanned the area. The windshield of the car was cracked open and restaurant staff tried to take a peek from it. But the windows on all left and right sides were still locked, obviously unaffected by the impact.

'This is the same place where I was walking earlier... earlier... then?' he mentally analyzed and looked around the car floor, only to realize that he was on the seatbelt inside a car. He hastily removed the seatbelt and checked his arms and legs. 'Alas, I've reincarnated again! TSK!'

Lui Chen ignored the crowd and leaned his back in a comfortable position. He then closed his eyes. For a split second, he instantly retrieved the memories of the original owner of his current body.

'Lui Chen, age 17, a high school dropout?'

'In my first life, I was the unparalleled soul cultivator advancing my soul to the level of invincibility. In my second life, I was the martial prince winning hundreds of wars. In my third life, I was the nameless CEO owning billions of assets in the corporate world. In my fourth life, I am an anonymous expert programmer creating various formidable software in the virtual world... M-My fifth life... I w-will restart as a high-school dropout teen?! The heavens surely have its great way of making my existence more interesting!'

After dying several times and subsequently reincarnating, this routine seemed easy for him to accomplish. He was quick to accept his new identity with no confusion or whatsoever. And he always remembered everything in his past life. In fact, he could not care less. He had made necessary preparations for everything just in case such a case like this would happen.

But, at that point, he did not know whether to laugh or to cry about his situation. It was beyond his vast imagination!

After reading the memory of the original owner of his new body, his starting point this time seemed very amusing but also pitiful!

The original Lui Chen constantly received bullying online. No, his life actually revolved online with no social circle. It was almost unbelievable for him to know that there is a person that has no friends at all. No man is an island, right? But this boy is really a loner!

Even those squad members that he idolized treated him like trash. He was full of those unhappy and negative thoughts which caused the car accident ultimately causing his original soul to perish.

After a while, Lui Chen moved his hand and pressed the side button of the car door. The windows of the car slowly rolled down and the car doors were unlocked.

"Lui Chen, oh, Lui Chen, this new life will surely be an interesting one! Hehe... You online trolls, I'm getting tired of adjusting to a new life again, hmmph! My past lives would be useless if I would not teach you a good lesson," he muttered softly and a malicious curved appeared on his lips.

Three men quickly swarmed at the driver's side and hesitated for a minute when they heard him talking to himself and smiling ominously. Then, other people followed to form a circle on the passenger side to check his situation too.

"There is a blood-forming line on his face. But he is alive!" the first man shouted right in front of his face. Lui Chen instantly winced at the pitch of the man's voice and subconsciously covered his ears. His gaze slowly wandered at the onlookers with calm and clear eyes.

"Young man, what happened to you? Are you okay? Can you hear me?" the second man inquired with a worried expression on his face.

Lui Chen took a deep breath and pushed the car door open. He calmly took a step outside the car and felt a slight numbness in his legs. "I'm fine. Sorry for this trouble."

"What happened? Why did you crash your car here?" the second man questioned.

"Why are you interrogating him right now? We should send him to the hospital first!" the first man scolded and glared at the second man.

Lui Chen stared at them for a minute before he switched his attention and looked around. After scanning the area, he saw the man that was still holding a familiar briefcase.

The moment they made eye contact, the man instantly rushed to his side. "Here is your things, young man. I picked it right over there."

The man pointed at the location where he took the briefcase. It was exactly the place where Chao Cheung's body vanished.

The man also handed the identification card and the briefcase without thinking too much. Lui Chen quickly took it and kept the identification card inside his pocket.

If only the man had checked the face in the identification card closely, he would have noticed that the card did not belong to this young driver at all! It belonged to a certain man named Chao Cheung!

"Thank you for collecting my belongings, sir!" Lui Chen politely said and examined the damaged car and the wall. He carefully put his briefcase on top of the damaged hood of his car and opened it.

He was about to pull his calling card only to realized that the piece of paper was gone. Once the body vanished, the people he had meet as well as his trace of his former identity would also be erased.

But, he still holds an auspicious luck. Despite losing his previous lives and his identities, he still retained his memories as well as his enormous wealth and accumulated properties.

Lui Chen released a soft sigh and took a pen and a notepad. He then scribbled his number and his new name to the paper and before tearing it.

"Here is my contact number. The owner of this establishment may contact me for the compensation of the damages I caused," he casually spoke and gave the paper to the security guard.
