730 Justice? (2/2)
Around him were hundreds of people. They were all hostages held by him! In his words, these were his cute cannon fodder!
”Just because of that,” Hong Dali looked at Feiyun and said slowly, ”You can disregard the lives of these ordinary people and do whatever you wish? Who gave you that right?”
”Disregard?” Feiyun chuckled coldly. ”That's right, these ordinary people are nothing more than ants to me. Their days are ordinary—they eat, they sleep, and the cycle repeats. I was only trying to do them a favor and release them from their tedious lives earlier. But you,” Feiyun pointed at Hong Dali, ”you want to be the upholder of justice? Stop dreaming! You wear the same clothing as us, you have the same position, Honorary Aristocrat! You, too, are an Honorary Aristocrat! You want to help them? You can, but it's obvious you might not have the chance to do so.”
”Is that so?” Hong Dali looked straight into Feiyun's eyes. ”I can see that you did not use your full power when you were fighting with Brother Levis earlier. You are stronger than the other three. It seems that you have been holding back all along, right?”
”Hahaha, you are quite sharp.” Feiyun laughed and said, ”That's right, I have been hiding my true strength so they will drop their guard against me. When it's time for the qualification test, I will be able to win easily! Speaking of which, I have to thank you for getting rid of them and following me here. Everything is in place now!
”You used a technological weapon to kill Honorary Aristocrats, that's one charge against you! You caused the deaths of countless commoners, that's another charge against you! With these two crimes, so what if you have connections? We have the right to kill you on the spot! Also!” Feiyun continued excitedly, ”Once you are dead, I will have performed a great service and will be able to advance directly to orange-level Honorary Aristocrat! Manor, lands, riches, position! Everything that is yours will become mine! At that time, I will be a great hero! A hero who killed a despicable criminal! Hahahaha!”
”You plotted well, but…” Hong Dali's eyes narrowed slightly. ”Are you not afraid of retribution? In your heart, do you not have even a basic sense of justice?”
”Justice?” Feiyun paused and suddenly started laughing maniacally. He laughed so hard that he had to clutch his stomach. As he laughed, he said, ”Justice?! Do you even need to ask? The champion is always just! Hahahaha! Have you ever seen a champion who said he was evil, the antagonist? Never, right? That means, so long as I kill you, I am just! I stand for justice! If I say you killed all these people, who would suspect me? Hahaha!”
”That makes sense.” Hong Dali nodded. ”It seems I have to be the just one then.”
”I'm afraid you will not have the chance to do that!” Feiyun laughed evilly. ”I am different from those idiots. I have only used 40% of my real power! Hahaha!”
While laughing maniacally, Feiyun made his move!
He did not attack Hong Dali directly. Instead, he stepped next to a hostage and lifted him clear off the ground. He said to Hong Dali, ”You are very concerned about their lives, right? What a simple matter?”
The hostage struggled as he desperately pleaded for mercy. The tears streamed down his face as he wailed. ”Lord Aristocrat, have mercy! Have mercy!”
”As cannon fodder, you should be honored…”
As he spoke, he threw the hostage into the fire that was burning fiercely at the side!
”How can you disregard human lives like that!” Hong Dali fumed. The Mechanical Holy Garment activated. He dashed forward and caught the hostage.
”Hahaha! So what?” Feiyun laughed. ”I am an Honorary Aristocrat, an exalted Honorary Aristocrat! It is their honor to be able to die for me, haha!”
He threw another one.
The third one!
The fourth one!
Precious lives were thrown out like balls. Hong Dali was incensed. He gritted his teeth, but all he could do was save the hostages one by one.
”Wow, wow, wow. It seems that you are even more benevolent than I thought,” Feiyun exclaimed in surprise. ”You saved all of them. This time let's play something that's more fun, hehe.”
He approached a shivering couple huddled together and said slowly, ”Look, what a loving couple. I'm so touched…”
The young couple hugged each other close and trembled. They dared not raise their heads. The man pleaded desperately. ”Lord Aristocrat, Lord Aristocrat, please spare us, please spare us! She just got pregnant, it's not even been three months yet!” The woman only dared to cry softly. She was afraid that if she cried loudly, she might anger Feiyun.
”Three months? Haha, commoner, so what if she's three months along? When it's born, it'll still be a lowly peasant, isn't it?” Feiyun started laughing as he said, ”But this is good. Things are getting exciting…” As he spoke, he kicked the man away and lifted the woman up with one hand.
He walked towards the stairs at one side of the building. There was an external elevator without railings there. Feiyun stretched his arm out and dangled the woman outside. Below was seventy to eighty meters of empty air!
”So, Hong Dali, hehe.” Feiyun smiled and said, ”Once I let go, she will drop and, with a 'splat', become a meat patty. So, will you save her?”
”Feiyun! Don't you dare!” Hong Dali said through gritted teeth, ”If you dare let go, I swear I will chase you to the ends of the world and kill you!”
”Hahahaha! What a pompous proclamation. So…” As Feiyun spoke, he flexed his arm and suddenly threw the woman into the air!
