Chapter 51.2 The Young Master’s Deception (2)

“No!” He Shaoning blurted out without even thinking.

The other people had continued to remain taciturn all this while. From a rational point of view, it was quite cost-effective to exchange He Zhou for the lives of many children, but from a logical point of view, they couldn’t bear to do so.

Wen Renyi’s expression chilled, his gaze appearing frosty. The power of a Xiantian Late Realm cultivation rushed towards the kidnapper above the mountain while he grabbed He Zhou and pulled him behind himself.

He Zhou still had not spoken at this point. It was as if his soul had flown out of his body.

Gars hooked the corner of his ruddy lips up, and calmly stood at the side watching the scene unfold.

Although Wen Renyi’s power did cause the evildoer to feel a bit of pressure, his cold voice caused the people to shudder involuntarily. “Wen Renyi, your domain is useless here, so I would still advise you to heed my words and surrender the person you’re holding. Otherwise, you leave me no choice but to slaughter a person within every five minutes.”

The group of people immediately went into uproar.

Some people couldn’t help but gossip quietly among themselves, saying that it was better to surrender He Zhou. After all, wasn’t he just an array master? He wasn’t as important as those children.

Some members of the Zhao family were also present, and after hearing the crowd’s words, they couldn’t help but furrow their brows, especially Zhao Ke who felt that these people were too heartless. They deemed those children innocent, but what about He Zhou? He thought to himself. If all of the people rushed up together sharing the same goal, perhaps the scoundrel would not have enough time to care about the children.

Time slowly ticked by while the two sides were still facing an impasse. The people on their side gradually felt more and more anxious, their eyes flickering to He Zhou from time to time. He Shaoning frowned at this situation. He was worried about He Ye, but he couldn’t bear to give He Zhou up.

Although Zhao Jing loved He Ye dearly, they had no qualifications nor rights to ask He Zhou to rescue people.

Once the five minutes had passed, the evildoer’s voice sounded again: “Have you finished thinking about it? If not, I’ll go ahead and kill one first.”

Everyone’s heart leapt to their throats because nobody knew who the kidnapper would kill first. It was right at this moment that He Zhou made his move.

Wen Renyi grabbed his hand tightly, “Ah Zhou.”

He Zhou glanced at him. His eyes seem to want to express so many words, but he didn’t say anything at all.

Wen Renyi felt his heart quiver, “I’ll go with you.”

The kidnapper snorted hearing this, “I only want He Zhou..”

He Zhou appeared indifferent as he shook off Wen Renyi’s hand. He then slowly walked up the mountain under everyone’s watchful gazes.

He Shaoning had wanted to stop him, but he was secretly blocked by Wen Renyi. He then promptly turned around to look at Wen Renyi with eyes full of anger, accusing Wen Renyi of having a malicious heart.

Gars cast a glance at the worry-faced Auster and said. “Don’t worry.”
