903 Human Vice! (2/2)
”Then you… you fostered me!” Long Yingtai looked fiendish. ”Don't you know that? I became your son! I have the right to inherit everything you have! As long as your son is gone, I am the only one in the world who can be the new chief of Black Calvary Alliance!
”You know what, I have been struggling on this for three fxcking years! Devil and angel, they have been fighting inside my head, torturing my heart!
”I struggled! Many times! The angel always won, until devil defeated the angel. I have been wondering whether I should do such a vicious thing just to build my own future? Or maybe I should just be a subsidiary all my life…”
”This is all because of the opportunity you gave me.” He looked unreconciled. ”An influential force, over a hundred thousand cavalries… Countless wealth… The power… Commanding a great force with a wave of the coachwhip! I… I want it… I want it too!
”I was in the bottom of this place. You raised me up step by step. I know I owe you a lot. I know I shouldn't be so vicious. But… I was in such a high position… The power… is so close to me… I can't control my ambition anymore. Everything just started naturally…
”I introduced Ying Hongxian to Brother Tie. She was mine and she still is. I wanted to get this done without being noticed…”
Long Yingtai shouted, ”Father… I don't want to live anymore. I know I don't have the chance to live. Before I go, I want to say something to you. Next time… when you think of making such a decision… to treat somebody with your pure heart… you must make sure that person is worth your concern! Human beings are evil. I am just one of so many. We are all the same!
”Farewell… father!”
Long Yingtai was caught by the executors. Shangguan Zhuifeng looked at them leaving. He was shaking.
His face was twisting. His lips were trembling. He tightly closed his eyes.
The room was in silence.
Shangguan Tie was still lying on the bed like a dead body.
Shangguan Zhuifeng didn't spare his foster son. He did hesitate, but he didn't say anything to stop it. He looked so old at this moment. He was in great grief.
His foster son tried to murder his natural son for the power…
Shangguan Zhuifeng was heart-broken.
[How can a human be so vicious?]
[Shouldn't he have gratitude? Can't a little help bring much in return? You don't have to return the favor, but you don't have to hurt us, do you?]
[What is wrong with this world?]
Shangguan Zhuifeng kept asking this question in the heart.
After a while.
An executor walked in. ”Report, Chief. Long Yingtai and Ying Hongxian have been beheaded. Should we bring you the heads?”
Apparently, somebody purposedly sent him to ask about it.
Usually, they should just bring the heads and show it to the Chief, as evidence for their work.
”No need…” Shangguan Zhuifeng closed his eyes and shook his head in grief.
