Chapter 434: The Crackdown Begins! (1/2)
The Dog Trainer explained, ”There are three main gods in Indian mythology. Lord Brahma is responsible for creation, Shiva is responsible for destruction, and Vishnu is the God of protection. From this, you can see that creation, destruction and protection are the cornerstones of this world. If someone creates and maintains it, someone will inevitably destroy it. No matter how you advertise justice, you can't deny the fact that it is human greed and evil, not kindness and justice, that push history forward.”
With zero tolerance of his fallacies, I said, ”You’ve brainwashed others for too long, and in the process, you’ve brainwashed yourself. Have you seen those burning buildings outside? Every store is a home that a person has spent half his life running, but now they’ve been so easily destroyed by you. And here you are with these sarcastic words, pretending as if their deaths are worthwhile. What if this happened to you?”
”The law of the jungle is the way of the world,” he replied. “Song Yang, you have a sentimental heart, which is good, but it also restrains your talents. You could’ve been so much better!”
”Be a scum of society like you?” I grew sick of his viewpoint. ”Have you heard of a story? A teacher asked his student to find a man with great ability. When his student went to the market, he saw a crazy donkey breaking all the jars. The student thought it would take a lot of time to create a jar, but the donkey destroyed so many at once. Hence, it was much more capable than the man who created the jars, so the student took the donkey back. However, he was lectured by his teacher upon returning. Destruction is always simpler than creation and maintenance. No matter how you advertise your misguided beliefs, it seems to me that it’s all fig leaves. You’re no different from the donkey in the story. You’re just a criminal!”
There was a trace of humiliation in the Dog Trainer's eyes as he argued, ”Real destruction is art!”
I couldn’t be bothered to continue speaking to him. There was a fire raging in my heart at the moment. If I had the choice to start over, I would’ve killed him the very first time I saw him.
Sightly past eleven o'clock, we arrived at the underground parking of the airport. The SWAT officers jumped out of the vehicle and escorted the Dog Trainer to the waiting room, which was a great shame for all of us.
Just as I took a step forward, I stopped. ”What's the matter?” asked Xiaotao.
Looking around, I wondered out loud, ”There are four SWAT officers in each vehicle but why are there seventeen people?”
The SWAT team usually wore masks during an operation, so we couldn’t see their faces. Sun Tiger immediately shouted, ”Take off your masks at once!”
”Since you can't administer justice, then justice will be presided over by me,” the ”SWAT officer” said in a gloomy voice.
My eyes widened in disbelief. This was a voice I would never forget–it was my grandfather’s murderer!
The Dog Trainer screamed, ”W-why are you here!”
But like the rest of us, he couldn't move. He tried crawling forward, but it was in vain.
The Blade Master slowly pulled out a thin, sharp dagger from his sleeve. It was almost transparent like ice. ”Dog Trainer... or I should call you Liu Juncheng. You have sinned and God has sent me to eradicate you,” came the gloomy voice.
The Dog Trainer's calmness was completely shattered. ”Traitor! You traitor!” he screamed. “The organization will not spare you.”
The Blade Master pulled the Dog Trainer up and dragged him behind a pillar. ”Stop!” yelled Sun Tiger.
I gritted my teeth, desperately crawling forwards, one centimeter at a time. With a muffled moan, the Dog Trainer came out from behind the pillar like a drunk, then fell to the ground. Like the previous victims, his face was an unnatural bright red, his eyes wide open, and his entire body without any wounds.
The Blade Master walked out with something bloody in his hand. Perhaps it was just my imagination, but the Dog Trainer's heart seemed to beat.
I didn't care about the Dog Trainer's life at the moment. I just wanted to know who the Blade Master was. ”Stop...” I shouted with all my strength.
