1691 A Failed Vile Person (2/2)
”I'm ignorant?” Lu Zhuo laughed.
Yang Ning could not stand him any further. She tossed a file containing a more detailed report of Mo Fan in front of Lu Zhuo. She said coldly, ”Take a good look at who he is before you judge him with your corrupted mind!”
Lu Zhuo knew he was going to die for sure. He remained stubborn, like a criminal who was sentenced to death. He picked up the file that contained information about Mo Fan, not related to his achievements as a Hunter.
”How...how could this be… why was Councilman Luo Mian...” Lu Zhuo soon stammered.
The file only contained some brief descriptions without any details. Lu Zhuo was initially scanning it with an indifferent attitude, yet when he saw Mo Fan was responsible for arresting Councilman Luo Mian, the disdain on his face soon vanished!
Yang Ning was seriously displeased by Lu Zhuo's twisted character. Mo Fan did not bother teaching him a lesson, but Yang Ning believed otherwise. She even recorded the achievements that Mo Fan had regarding his fight against the Black Vatican toward the end of the file.
Lu Zhuo was going to be sentenced to death. It would not matter if he had read the information. Even though Yang Ning was breaking the rules as a Hunter Mistress, she could not stand Lu Zhuo's ignorantly proud attitude!
As a matter of fact, Lu Zhuo was already losing his mind when he learned Luo Mian had fallen because of Mo Fan. He was dazed when he saw the information about the fall of the Black Vatican's Red Cardinal, the Cold Prince!
”A...A Red Cardinal...”
”Councilman Luo Mian, who you greatly admired, was like a three-year-old compared to the Cold Prince. What about a black-hearted dog like you, who Luo Mian never cared about?” Yang Ning spat at him.
Lu Zhuo finally understood what Mo Fan meant when he said he should be lining up in Hell for his number first. Mo Fan was already being respectful if he bothered comparing him to the others on the list!
”Impossible, how could he do all this? That's impossible… it must be his partner, he has a partner!” Lu Zhuo found an excuse to convince himself. He still had a final glimpse of light in his eyes.
”Partner? Are you referring to her?” Yang Ning almost burst out laughing.
An investigator who was familiar with Mo Fan's achievements shook his head in amusement when he heard Lu Zhuo's response.
The investigator came over and helped Lu Zhuo, who was stiffening up, to flip to the page with Lingling's information.
Lu Zhuo was reading Lingling's information carefully. He assumed Mo Fan's achievements were only possible with the help of his partner, but when he saw the information...
Lingling's information destroyed the final glimpse of light in Lu Zhuo's eyes. He completely lost his will to live, as if he was no different than a dead person.
”Can...can I take a look at it?” Gu Ying, who was watching them on the side, asked softly. She picked up the file that Lu Zhuo had dropped to the ground without waiting for Yang Ning and the investigator's permission.
The file only had simple information. Yang Ning would not write the details on the report, since most of the information about Mo Fan and Lingling was actually confidential. It did not take Gu Ying too long to finish reading, yet the few lines were already beyond her imagination.
She initially did not understand why Lu Zhuo had suddenly lost his mind, but she did after reading the information!
If an evil person was being full of himself when he was arrested, it was likely that he believed he was a notable character. At least the people were afraid of him and hated his guts... In simpler words, he was a successful crook! The Seven Stars Hunter Master that had brought him to his end was not even as impressive as he was!
However, his twisted sense of achievement collapsed instantly as soon as he read the information.
He had nothing left; he was comforting himself with his last hint of dignity, yet he finally realized it was never there...
It was already humiliating to be taken out by the man's Contracted Beast with a single move, yet the evil deeds he was proud of were not even worthy enough to include him in the list of scum the man had taken out!
------
The sense of failure had shattered Lu Zhuo's soul like lightning from the clear sky. He proceeded to confess all the things he had done.
What else could he say, if he had failed so hard trying to be a bad guy?
The investigator had no trouble settling the case after Lu Zhuo had confessed to it all.
To his surprise, apart from Jiang Hua, who knew about Lu Zhuo's true nature, the others in the Pancheng Hunter Group had no idea about Lu Zhuo's past. They were utterly shocked and relieved he was caught when they found out what he had done. They were glad that Mo Fan had gotten rid of him. Otherwise, they might have ended up as stepping-corpses for Lu Zhuo on his way up!
The Hunter Masters felt like they had escaped the jaw of death, and worked even harder to search for the Great Salamander Demons as a way to repay their debt to Mo Fan. They took the initiative to search through the caves and confirmed that the Great Salamander Demons were indeed hiding in the Cave Island!
