Chapter 555: True Purity
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone through the window into the room. It couldn’t give a pure aura, more of a shady chill instead.
“Three hundred and fifty million? Sorry, your reference is outdated. That was my net worth two years ago.” Lance looked coldly at Zazawi, who was screaming awfully because of the bleeding, broken arm. Lance smirked, showing a hint of praise, and his eyes slowly moved to Qin Fen, who stood in front of the window, “Young man, my current net worth is seven hundred million!”
Pride filled the eyes of Lance. As the weakest among the three major generals under the terrorist king, it was kind of glorious to be wanted with the highest reward price.
In the terrorist world, the amount of reward price set by the Federation was a symbol of net worth and glory for them.
The Federation ranked almost all kinds of sports activities, such as the world’s first astronomical ball and the world’s first football team.
In the terrorist world, this list of rewards was their ranking given by the Federation.
Seven hundred million were three simple words, which indicated not the surprising price, but the number of lives taken. A reward of three hundred and fifty million to seven hundred million for a terrorist only showed one possibility: they had executed something massive so that the Federation had to increase their bounty.
Qin Fen’s concerned eyes looked at the Flying Hearts and Miss Fiery. The aura stunned everyone in the villa, making the awful screams and the fact that terrorists were approaching with metal firearms seem like small details.
“Little girls…” Qin Fen’s palm stroked the two sobbing girls’ glossy hair, “I cared too little about you…”
The sad weeping sound echoed throughout the villa. Three months’ worth of grievances and Miss Fiery’s heartache could only be vented by crying inconsolably.
In the past three months, the two girls had never cried, not even once! How can you cry weakly in front of the terrorist? Qin Fen is here, it’s okay to cry now.
“Why are you crying?” Miss Fiery’s icy cold voice echoed in the room. She lifted her badly injured arm and gently hugged the two girls. The trace of tears on her face, because of the previous struggles and the fact that she didn’t want to be humiliated in front of the girls, had not yet dried up. However, her eyes had reverted to the cold arrogance she had when she first entered the room, “What is there to cry for? I’m still alive, right?”
Lance suddenly felt Miss Fiery’s cold gaze and the icy energy field even made him feel a chill.
“Wipe your tears. We can’t show our timidity in front of this kind of animal.” Miss Fiery straightened her ill-treated body, “Our tears are shed for our loved ones and kind people only. We will never shed a tear for these animals.”
“General, something happened…”
There were gunshots, and the terrorist who forced his way into the room had not yet finished his sentence when his kneecaps were shattered by bullets. He knelt on the ground, turning the carpet red, as if to atone for his sins towards Miss Fiery.
Lance looked at the gun in Qin Fen’s hand, shocked. It was Zazawi’s gun that was taken away from him when he broke his arm. Qin Fen’s shots were so accurate, the first person who appeared knelt to the ground without him even looking in that direction.
“There is an ambush!”
The sounds of the firearms’ safeties being disengaged echoed in the long corridor outside the door. Eight consecutive shots were then fired, followed by eight painful screams from the people who were hit by the shots, and the cracking sound of the fallen bullets colliding with each other on the carpet.
Ten shots and nine people injured. Moreover, all of the bullets hit parts that made people feel a throbbing pain but wouldn’t immediately faint from the pain.
Qin Fen casually threw the gun from his hand onto the carpet. He looked at the motionless Lance and said, “Seven hundred million? That is the value of the harm you caused to the society, not your own net worth. Scumbags have no value at all, not even seven cents. You have overestimated yourself.”
“Are you a martial dao master?” Lance observed Qin Fen quietly, “It’s rare to see such a young martial dao master in the world. Shang Guan Chuan Qi? Qin Fen? Or Solomon? Yang Lie? No! You are purely an oriental, Qin Fen!”
“In this room, apart from these three women, all of you are terrorists, right? Great, all of you shall not leave today.”
“Qin Fen, you must have felt it already. I only have fourteen-star strength, but why is it that I can survive until today? Don’t you want to know?”
“Little girls, don’t blink your eyes. The following scene may be bloody, but don’t blink your eyes.”
The voices of the two men in the room came one after another, and no one answered anyone, as if they were talking to themselves.
Qin Fen’s right hand lifted very casually, and he drew a diagonal line in the air in front of his chest. There were sounds of the wall being sharply cut, and at the same time, the terrorists who hid behind the wall screamed simultaneously. The two terrorists closest to the door crawled into the room in pain, and there was nothing under their knees. The Air Splitting Palm Cut had taken away everyone’s calves just now.
“General, run…”
“General…”
“Run?” Qin Fen calmly stared at Lance, “Do you think you have the ability to commit suicide?”
Zazawi endured his pain to look up at Qin Fen in shock. The ability to commit suicide? Qin Fen is too arrogant! Just by opening his mouth, everyone’s life in the room was controlled by him alone. If he wanted them to die, then they would die. If he didn’t want them to die, they couldn’t even commit suicide!
“Suicide? Qin Fen, didn’t you hear what I just said? Well, take a good look at this!” Lance looked at Qin Fen fearlessly and ripped away the last piece of his shirt to reveal the transparent skin near his navel.
That was not real skin. It could even be said to be glass, tempered glass with very high density. There was a bomb installed underneath this glass!
Qin Fen raised his eyebrows, “A personal portable nuclear bomb?”
“That’s right!” Lance lifted his chin, “As long as I want to die, everyone in this villa group will be buried together with me. Maybe you can survive because you are a martial dao master, but what about the others? Qin Fen, this is the difference between you and I. People call me the bad guy, and I don’t care about my life nor the lives of others, but you need to care! If you want to kill me, you also need to consider the consequences.”
Several times when Lance faced round-up attackers, he escaped danger by relying on the personal nuclear bomb in his lower abdomen. This time, he was still full of self-confidence. The people living in this small community were either rich or nobles. If they conducted a nuclear explosion here, the impact was something that even a martial dao master would have to consider.
“What did you say?”
Qin Fen’s words oscillated in Lance’s eardrums, and he instantly suffered a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. Immediately after that, the sound of broken glass was transmitted, and the personal portable nuclear bomb was in Qin Fen’s hand, covered with bright red blood.
Lance fell to the ground weakly, and he raised his neck to look at Qin Fen while trying to recall what just happened a moment ago. How did my nuclear bomb disappear in the blink of an eye? How are all my limbs crushed? How did he do that? Even if he is a martial dao master, it is absolutely impossible that I wasn’t able to see even a silhouette in a frontal battle!
“Does it hurts? I crushed your limbs and took the nuclear bomb. What else do you have?” Qin Fen turned to look at Miss Fiery, “I’m sorry I’m so late. I don’t know what else I can do now. There are guns and bullets on the ground…”
Miss Fiery looked at Ya Fei and Ya Xin in her arms, and she walked towards Qin Fen before squatting down to grab a gun.
She slowly walked in front of Lance, who was paralyzed on the ground, and decisively fired two shots!
The bullet passed through Lance’s shoulder blade. Miss Fiery looked back at Qin Fen and said quietly, “Killing him does not change the reality that had occurred. As a soldier, you are better than me in this kind of thing, in torturing people. I believe you will bring him to justice for me. I don’t want to let him die so easily.”
Lance’s wounds twitched incessantly. Seeing Qin Fen’s cold eyes, he shuddered subconsciously. The terrorists had studied too many ways to make people wish death upon themselves.
Even those who feared death would become fearless of death after going through terrorists’ tortures. Their only desire was to die quickly.
The moment Lance saw Qin Fen’s eyes, he remembered the eyes of those old professional torturing executors in the terrorist base.
Qin Fen looked at Lance’s bloody body and placed his concerned eyes on Miss Fiery again. She was hurt so badly, but she only fired two shots at the culprit. Can this really relieve her pain? If she can’t relieve it, then…
Suicide is not a rare occurrence. Some people can commit suicide by jumping one by one off the building because of unscrupulous businessmen’s oppression. Not to mention, the torment she endured was a million times more painful than that. A woman in the hands of these beasts…
Miss Fiery crossed her arms while being looked at by Qin Fen. She asked coldly, ” Why are you looking at me like that? What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will commit suicide?”
Qin Fen nodded slowly. There was nothing to hide since she had already read his mind, and this nod could also pass the message to both Ya Fei and Ya Xin, that Miss Fiery was likely to have such an idea.
“Humph!” Miss Fiery lifted her chin high, and the aura, despite being humiliated and exhausted, still couldn’t hide her glamorous beauty, “Don’t worry, I won’t do that. Why? You don’t believe me? Ok, then let me tell you my secret, which is only known to Ya Fei and Ya Xin. My loved ones were also killed in the terrorist attack. I want to avenge them…”
Miss Fiery raised her hand to wipe away the crystal tears that were shed because of missing her loved ones, “However, I don’t have the talent to learn martial arts. I also want to lead the whole society to anti-terrorism, so this is not just revenge for my family! Perhaps people will laugh and ridicule me if I talk about being righteous. Yet, only the people who have actually experienced it know about the pain of losing their loved ones. How badly we hope that no one will ever experience such pain again….”
“When I was sad because I didn’t have the talent to learn martial arts, I discovered Ya Fei and Ya Xin. Their music is full of power! I don’t have the musical talent or charisma like these two little girls! However, I do have organizing and propaganda skills. I can make their powers bloom to their fullest!”
Miss Fiery’s tired face beamed a kind of pure light at this moment as she smiled. After three months of living in hell, she still had a pure smile. She asked Qin Fen, “Do you think I have the reason to commit suicide? Just because I was humiliated by these scumbags, I will commit suicide? No! I am not as fragile as you think! Women are not as fragile as you think! Please don’t use a Machismoeyes to evaluate a woman so casually!”
Qin Fen nodded apologetically. Perhaps some people’s martial strength may not be strong, but it did not mean that they are not worthy of admiration!
Justice… Qin Fen looked at Miss Fiery. Is that the only thing I can do for Miss Fiery — bringing him to justice? However, like what Miss Fiery said, this justice still cannot change the reality that has already occurred. No one can guarantee how many people in the world will suffer from this like Miss Fiery in the future even if I bring upon justice to him.
“I know that there will always be such groups of lunatics in the world, influenced by the so-called doctrines, who think that they are worshipping the true God. They take the lives of others in the guise of religious freedom. They invade the culture and life of others in the guise of religious freedom.” Qin Fen looked at Lance indifferently, “These kinds of people are like bacteria that is impossible to eradicate. I used to believe that the government could control the scope…”
“Hehe…” Qin Fen’s laughter was ice-cold, “Maybe while you were practicing the terrorism ideology, you were too far away from the people around me. I couldn’t even feel the real harm of terrorism ideology, but I felt it today. I realized that my approach was not completely correct in the past. This cannot be justified with the simple excuse of not having time because I had to concentrate on martial dao.”
Lance listened to Qin Fen’s words. This was considered the most peaceful attitude I’ve seen, comparing to those who fumed with rage between gritted teeth when facing me. However, it gives people a greater sense of crisis. This sense of crisis even surpassed the pain!
“Is this Yang Lie?” Qin Fen looked away and made a call, “Send a military force here and bring all these terrorists back. Then, use iron wires to pierce through their arms and hang them in the open field. Install mines and ambush snipers around them. After that, spread the video via the network to the Federation, and tell everyone that a batch of terrorists on Saturn was caught.”
“Qin Fen…” Yang Lie, who wanted to say something but stopped after a second thought, looked at Qin Fen and said, “I don’t know what you have encountered, but in doing so, those human rights organizations will say that we are inhumane. Even civilians who don’t understand the situation will sympathize with the terrorists instead of us when they see us treating them so cruelly…”
“I know… but so what? It’s enough for a man to align with his own conscience.” Qin Fen shook his head and continued, “I know that when there is no deep sorrow, many people will always be full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality. The so-called letting go of hatred and human rights! If someone criticizes us for treating terrorists inhumanely, then tell them this! When terrorists throw bombs into your home, when they rape your parents, wives, and children, will you still think that this is inhumane?”
Qin Fen placed his palm over his heart, “Yang Lie, isn’t it enough for you and I to be honest to heaven and earth, as well as to follow our own conscience?”
“Okay, you are right.” Yang Lie’s fingers tapped on the desktop keyboard and continued, “But you have to be prepared. The consequences of doing so will probably lead to an attack from every terrorist organization.”
“Bring it on.” Qin Fen moved his shoulders, “Going after me is better than going after little girls, right?”
“Yes, I know.” Yang Lie said quietly, “I have given the order, you just have to wait for a while.”
The video call was cut off. Qin Fen’s five fingers flicked softly, and Lance’s unhealed injury was aggravated again.
