I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 430 - 85: Acting Skills (4,100 Words)

Parental murder, especially killing one's biological parents, is regarded as a heinous crime in any region, country, or civilization.

But Tian En doesn't care.

When she acted, all she felt was the thrill of revenge.

Sometimes, Tian En really couldn't understand why for some people, killing seemed so natural, as if it didn't require any psychological struggle and could be done naturally.

For someone like her, who used to not even want to step on a bug, it was... beyond imagination.

But at that moment—after taking a life for the first time in the most brutal way, Tian En suddenly understood.

Taking another's life was never a difficult task, as long as you find your own "justifiable" reason.

For the Upper City People, killing Lower City People for a sliver of benefit or pleasure, was justifiable.

For soldiers, killing others for honor and merit was also justifiable.

For an Apprentice Death God to kill Mortals to show status... or for other strange reasons, is equally justifiable.

And now...

Tian En has also found her reason to kill, found that... justification that allows her to ignore all worldly rules and discard emotions like guilt and cowardice.

That would be "judgment."

Or rather, doing the "right" thing.

What she believes to be right.

The Frost Clan is guilty, from the Patriarch down to the servants and butler, all have countless sins buried within them.

To keep the family running, the patriarchal couple has killed countless civilians over the decades, including Tian En's foster parents.

The butlers and servants, under the family's protection, committed evil acts and immoral deeds.

They are all unforgivable, and so, they should die.

Killing them only satisfies Tian En, a mental stimulation thousand times more thrilling than any drug, surpassing the limits of pleasure provided by dopamine and endorphins.

So, Tian En has made this judgment her entire life and will continue this act.

Since the aristocrats consider killing civilians justifiable, then as a judge, killing the aristocrats should also be justifiable, right?

Only, the downfall of one family is clearly not enough to satisfy Tian En's desire.

This is by no means her ideal end, but a beginning.

All life-trampling nobles should die, and she will spare no one.

Since the laws of Nest City... cannot bring justice for her foster parents and the vast majority of civilians, she shall act as that judge and banish the guilty to Hell.

...

The destruction of the Frost Clan, for a time, caused quite a stir among the upper echelons of Nest City.

Though the Frost Clan has long been in decline, with scarcely ten members left, it was once an Overlord, having formed alliances with many noble families and established a vast network of connections.

Therefore, some major nobles were initially eager to investigate the matter.

However... Tian En hid very well.

She never displayed her strength in front of others, nor did she ever show hatred for the Frost Clan.

She even used a special Ability to fabricate a broken corpse for herself inside the family's manor.

No one would suspect a ten-year-old child, and the key is that this child is the heir of the Frost Clan, with no apparent motive for murder.

So, after investigating for a long time, these nobles could only draw two conclusions.

Either the Frost people died because of a Curse, or... an Apprentice Death God made a move.

If it's the former, there's no need to further investigate.

If it's the latter, even investigating is useless. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Frost Family was vast and naturally had Apprentice Death God Guards, but these guards couldn't even send out a distress signal before dying in the manor.

Such strength is beyond the intervention scope of the nobles.

They are unwilling to offend such a powerful Apprentice Death God for a Frost Clan that is already destroyed.

As a result, they not only failed to uncover the truth but even participated in the division of the Frost Clan's assets.

Among those most enthusiastic was Mokaka's father.

The Patriarch of the Hugo Clan, who appeared concerned for the main branch of the Frost Family, was the fastest when it came to dividing the assets.

Tian En vaguely remembered how, at a previous banquet, Caliduo Hugo had promised to help his eldest brother sincerely, to make the Frost Clan great again.

Yet now, before the couple's bodies were even cold, Caliduo pounced like a scavenging hyena.

It's the hallmark of Nest City's upper-class nobles, who feign propriety but become more frenzied than anyone when it comes to grabbing interests.

However, Tian En didn't care about these things.

In her eyes, she'll kill these people eventually; it's just a matter of sooner or later.

Notably, Caliduo Hugo was probably the only one who wanted to continue the investigation after the event.

Perhaps due to intuition, he believed that Tian En did not die in the manor and said that he would return the family assets to her or something...

But Tian En scoffed at this.

She didn't know Caliduo Hugo personally, but she understood the nature of Nest City's nobles too well.
