Chapter 21 (1/2)
Actually, there were many things happening in the Illusory Perennial Domicile. For the people of the South Mountain Town, it was a big event that the Great Bandits Hall and the Chen family had been destroyed. However, with people of the Illusory Perennial Domicile, this event was a chicken mess. If saying that the Illusory Perennial Domicile was a small underworld, then it was the small underworld where all the scoundrels had gathered together.
An Zheng saw who was sitting at the door with that grim smile. He also saw what that person was sitting on.
Du ShouShou was tightly tied up, and his mouth was gagged. He laid on the ground. He must have fainted.
Chen Pu sat on Du ShouShou’s body. He had a grim smile at An Zheng.
– “Is it very surprising?”
Chen Pu asked.
An Zheng took a deep breathe, and he felt a little sorrow for himself. In this world, such a performance like that could never have stopped performing. When he was in the Tribunal, he had coped with cruel people every day. Living in the Blue Boorish Mountain, a place in the middle of nowhere, the most seeing was also the evils. Therefore, An Zheng saw that it was difficult to understand if his entire life was to simply eliminate all evils.
– “I was just thinking that there was another big power that destroyed the Chen family.”
An Zheng sighed:
– “But it has turned out to be a Trojan horse.”
Chen Pu shook his shoulder:
– “Because the Chen family had owed me. Over the years, how many things have I done for them? Over half of the Chen family’s properties were created by me. However, they always treated me like a dog. I just took back my possessions because they were created by me. Those big faces of the Chen family only lived on the fat of the land. They were wastes. I took back what had belonged to me, and I want you to pay your debts to me next.”
He pointed at his arm:
– “You disabled one of the arms of my son. It felt as painful as you if you did it with mine.”
An Zheng said yes shortly:
– “Because it was the critical time of your plan, you still could stand although I had disabled your son’s arm so that yours could have happened at that time as well. Having done this can be seen as your talent.”
Chen Pu had found that it was difficult to understand the emotionless and calm face of a ten-year-old child like An Zheng. Because he did not know that the people who An Zheng had faced before were many times crueler than he was.
– “You seem not to be scared?”
Chen Pu rotated the dagger in his hands. There was a hole in the dagger's head. He put his finger inside of that hole and rotated the dagger like a wheel. Under the soft moonlight, the dagger revealed it's coldness.
– “Actually, I shouldn’t be small-minded to a child like you. It is said that a big person must have a big heart.”
Chen Pu smiled while saying:
– “But it’s my personality. That I need to take revenge. It’s not because you are still a child that I should forgive your mistakes. This doesn’t suit with my life's principles. In my eyes, the younger you are, the more that I shouldn’t forgive you. Young age is hard to evaluate in the future. What if you get stronger in the future, how can I kill you then? However, I am not a violent person. It still depends on your behavior.”
He set loose his finger, and the dagger flew out and landed on the ground next to An Zheng’s foot.
– “If you disable one of your arms, I may spare your friend’s life.”
Chen Pu pointed at Du ShouShou:
– “This foolish kid did not agree to say ‘An Zheng is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d’ although he was near death.”
An Zheng turned down to see the dagger, and then he turned up to look at Du ShouShou:
– “It was because he knew that I was not a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, but you are.”
– “It’s fine!”
Chen Pu smiled while saying:
– “If I was not a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how could I have destroyed the Chen family? Now, only that cad Chen ShaoBai is alive. However, the Value a.s.sembly Courtyard will just protect him until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, when he leaves the Value a.s.sembly Courtyard, it will be his funeral day. Before that, you will have been waiting for him in h.e.l.l. I have never a.s.sumed that to be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d was a bad thing. In this Illusory Perennial Domicile, there are no bad people.
– ”I don't even think there's any ordinary people here. Let me tell you the truth.”
Chen Pu lowered down his tone:
– “Here, there are no normal people. Those who come to live in the Illusory Perennial Domicile are all criminals. Because they had used to commit their crimes, they came here on their beam-ends. After coming to the Illusory Perennial Domicile, they became normal people because they were weak. If they were stronger than the other people, would they have let the others bullied them? Don’t be so innocent like that! Except the children who were born here, no one here is not used to killing humans.”
An Zheng nodded:
– “I do not reject this, so the Illusory Perennial Domicile shouldn’t exist.”
Chen Pu pointed to the dagger on the ground:
– “Don’t try to temporize it. I know you so well. This fatty has an older brother in the JiuLi Sect, but he is just a little janitor. You are only an orphan, so you don’t even have a relative. Therefore, even though you temporize it, no one will come here to rescue you.”
An Zheng said:
– “I have!”
Chen Pu was surprised. He looked around carefully, and then he laughed out loud:
– “Don’t show off. You are only the one who has no parents. In this Illusory Perennial Domicile, if you are not valuable, who will save you?
An Zheng seriously said:
– “I really have a lot of people awaiting my orders.”
Chen Pu seemed to be doubtful, so he could not stop looking around. This was the weakness of such a person like him. Because he was dark inside, his doubts were too big.
An Zheng laughed out loud:
– “You're scared!”
Chen Pu got mad:
