Chapter 1654 - Meeting (6) (2/2)
Erea's breath hitched in her throat, and uncontrollable sob overwhelming her. She had once been a young girl with a bright future. She had countless pursuers, a talent that outshone most, and an elder sister and adoptive mother that had her back. Now, she had none of these… All that was left was despair.
Dyon didn't even bother with Erea's tears. No matter what her reasons, he was absolutely disgusted by her actions and even more enraged that she would dare to try and salvage the legacy of a woman Dyon hated to the core.
He proceeded to list many more perpetrators, digging them all up one by one. Their crimes were laid b.a.r.e, and no one could refute them. Dyon's words were so deadly accurate that they felt there was a target on their backs. They suddenly felt that they couldn't trust anyone around them anymore.
”Three years… You all stifled the growth of not just my dreams, but the dreams of your future generations … For three years… Give me one reason why I shouldn't just kill you all now?!
”Of what use are you to me? You're too weak to take advantage of the opportunities I give you, yet you also dare bar others from benefitting as well?! How dare you?!”
Every one of Dyon's words were laced a Presence that trampled upon their hearts. Even those who wouldn't usually feel guilt for such actions suddenly became incredibly ashamed.
”The tasks of working disciples are too harsh?” Dyon sneered. ”Do you have any idea how much the pills, the resources, the facilities, the technique books, I provide cost in the martial world?
”You all come from societies, clans and planets that would recognize mere 60% pure pills as heavenly treasures, yet I provide you with top grade pills. Those very same societies, clans and planets would never dream of laying eyes on even mere earth grade techniques, yet I provide you the opportunity to grasp heaven and even divine grade ones.
”Has anyone gone hungry under my leadership? Has anyone faced poverty and unconscionable hardship? Have you been a victim of unresolved crimes or tragedies?
”The answer is no. Then no again. And no once more.
”Today, forward, there will be resounding changes. With those changes will come severe penalties for those who fail to follow them.
”I am not a tolerant person, nor am I a patient one. I promise you all, from the bottom of my heart, that I've never meant the words I'm about to say more than anything else I've spoken in my entire life: If I ever catch you undermining my hard work again, I'll slaughter every last one of you.”
