137 Its difficult to do good (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie was a born killer…. He had always been calm, cold-blooded and had barely ever shown any affection towards anyone. Even in his previous life, he had only cared for his master, and a handful of his mates. As for his present life, he was only concerned with the well-being of his grandfather, and his uncle. In fact, even Guan Qing Han, his sister-in-law didn't receive this kind of concern from the hitman, so there's no point in talking about others. Jun Mo Xie would often show compassion towards people in distress, but when it came to actually caring for them, he'd politely decline.
”Of course, kindness also has its limitations and drawbacks. If I was left standing on one leg someday, then these people will probably be the first ones to abandon me; but if we have the ability, we must bear in mind that a man doesn't need a reason to save another!”
Even though Jun Wu Yi was baring his emotions undisguised, Jun Mo Xie wasn't exactly being influenced by them.
But still, he agreed with his uncle's statement: A man doesn't need a reason to save another!
The ability to do good deeds isn't the natural temperament of a cold-blooded heart; however, doing good deeds is a hard task, and one must make sure that they only help people who are willing to help themselves, otherwise both men are consigned to eternal damnation together!
Jun Mo Xie obviously understood this truth far better than his uncle.
”Anyway, why did you come looking for me in such a hurry?” Jun Wu Yi asked.
”Well, I need some Xuan Beasts, low level and high level, preferably at least one beast of each level… as high as level eight if possible.” Jun Mo Xie smiled slyly.
”High level Xuan beasts? You must be dreaming, so wake up Mo Xie!” Jun Wu Yi looked at his nephew with a funny look in his eyes: ”And did you just say level eight Xuan Beast? Arranging lower level Xuan Beasts might be possible…. Level four or under. But once you start talking about level five, level six…. Even if we were lucky enough to find any, they'd certainly be riddled with disabilities, or loss of functions. As for level seven or above....you're literally dreaming.”
”Only low-levels? That's also okay, I can make do with them alone. By the way, even if you can find crippled level five or level six Xuan Beasts, get them. As long as they are alive, please send them to me.” Jun Mo Xie looked quite serious: ”I require them by tomorrow morning!”
”Understood; I'll arrange them.” Jun Wu Yi didn't show the slightest signs of hesitation, so much so that he didn't even ask Jun Mo Xie's purposes. He was too concerned with the expenditure of this venture of his nephew's….. Level five or six Xuan Beasts were immensely expensive… even the crippled ones!
”Thank you very much uncle!” Jun Mo Xie was very serious.
”Well, now that you're back, help me in taking a look at the children that we've managed to bring in. I've been busy in evaluating their situation for a long while now, and I could use a second opinion.” Jun Wu Yi's face looked a bit tired.
”Sure Third Uncle, I'll take a look.” Jun Mo Xie stepped inside the room.
The thirty-nine children in the room had obviously been washed more than once by now, and had already been provided with beds, and snow-white beddings, but even that wasn't enough to hide their stench. Apparently, some dirt had already infiltrated their skin, and had embedded itself deep into their bones; cleansing their bodies over such a short period of time was obviously not possible….
Each of these children was thin; as thin as a match. These thirty-nine children had only one thing in common; their limbs were deformed, while their tongues were amputated. In fact, more than twenty of them had been stabbed in their ears, which meant that they were actually deaf and dumb at the same time.
Jun Mo Xie sighed as his blood boiled with rage!
[The heavens cannot tolerate such acts! Once I find you, I will make you pay a hundred times over!]
These children had already eaten a meal, so there facial color was looking a lot better; they looked a lot livelier now. The moment Jun Mo Xie came in, they immediately realized that he was the man who had saved them, and although they were incapable of saying it, they expressed their gratitude with their eyes.
For the first time ever, whether in this life or the one before, Jun Mo Xie exposed a lukewarm smile to appease those poor children, and approached the one closest to him for inspection.
His speed of inspection was obviously a lot faster than that of his uncle.
Jun Mo Xie finished his inspection after a while, stood up with a heavy face, and winked at his uncle to make a gesture, and the two men stepped outside.
”Some of the smaller ones are hopeless.” Jun Mo Xie gritted his teeth: ”The bones of three of them have rotten to such an extent that their entire lower body, including their waist bones have completely rusted…. Their death is just a matter of time now…. even a miracle drug won't be able to save them. Even though they are still breathing, they are practically struggling on whilst at the door of death. However, with unconditional support, they might be able to carry on for about two more weeks, but these two weeks will be very painful and nothing more than pure torture!”
