Chapter 226 (2/2)

Olian viscountess heard and kept quiet. Then, she let out a sigh.

“Look,” she told her relatives that were dining together, “even if one is a noble when things are done ridiculously, he will come across courageous assassin. In this world, there will never be a lack of good men willing to sacrifice for justice!”

“But his action is wrong,” the secretary said. “Regardless of the reason, killing a noble is a no go!”

Olian viscountess nodded and sighed.

“This man; it is such a pity!”

After a few days, “Sui Xiong,” who was weary and hungry, finally exited the woods.

He arrived at a small village, stayed in an inn and slept for the rest of the day.

After he woke up, he ordered some food, packed and he left straight away. He continued to advance towards the north.

But, he didn’t manage to go very far.

When he got to the fork, a knight that seemed to have been waiting for him since the beginning stood up and blocked his way.

“I’ve waited for you for a very long time,” the knight said. “Did you have a good rest?”

Looking at the person’s symbol of a white balance and shield on his chest, Sui Xiong sighed.

It was a paladin that believed in the God of Justice and Law. Fighting against a lawbreaker, their ability would increase tremendously while their opponents’ specialized divinity would decrease.

The most important thing was that he remembered the person. He had seen this person before in the martial arts contest in the Void Mask Theme Park.

“I have seen you before, in the martial arts contest,” he said. “You won a round, right?”

“Good memory!” the paladin nodded. “Now that you mentioned it, I remember you too. You participated in the martial arts contest.”

Although it was said so, his posture didn’t change. He was obviously not relaxed at all.

Sui Xiong sighed and asked, “I have a few mates who I went on adventures with. Will this involve them?”

The paladin under the God of Justice creased his eyebrows. After a while, he said, “Your mates will be in great trouble. Strictly speaking, even the hotel boss will be in trouble.”

“That’s not right,” Sui Xiong smiled. “I killed the person. Beforehand, I had already fallen out with my mates during drinking. As for the boss, I cheated him. He is also a victim.”

The paladin looked at him in the eyes. After a while, he let out a heavy sigh.

“I understand,” he said. “Your testimony has been recorded. Don’t worry.”

Sui Xiong smiled and extended his hands. “Then do what you have to.”

The paladin saluted and tied him up with the magic rope that was prepared beforehand.

Later on, Sui Xiong underwent a trial in the territory. The criminal shook the feudal lord, especially when he received his sentence. He was composed and calm as he chuckled. That left the feudal lord’s mouth hanging. In his impression, after a criminal was caught, most of the time they looked terrified and anxious. How could he be so calm?

And, those criminals would try very hard to drag others down in order to minimize their own sentences and bring everyone to death together. Why would this man take up all the crime on his own shoulders?

“What is going on?” he asked suspiciously.

The leader of the guards that grew up with him, which was the paladin, too let out a heavy sigh. “A good person. Such a pity that he broke the law.”

The feudal lord thought and understood. He also sighed heavily.

“Death sentence!” he announced. “Don’t need to send it to the victim, just carry it out here!”

Sui Xiong looked calm until the very moment he died. When the executioner tied the rope around his neck, his hands and legs were slightly shivering, but he still had the mood to joke with the executioner.

“Bro, make it tight,” he said. “Don’t make me fall.”

He thought “make it tight” was a funny phrase, and he laughed.

In the end, the smile that was set on his face didn’t even disappear after he died.
