Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Chapter 79 First Kill

He felt angry. Angry at this man for being a F***ked up piece of sh*t eating eyeballs. He felt angry at the old man of the dark hall for waiting and not trying to save the children. He felt angry at Dongmei for making him go through this sh*t. But the angriest was Han Cai in this World. This messed up mother-effin tragedy-filled, good-for-nothing world. This did not need to happen. It was unnecessary. Couldn't this bastard have a normal meal? What kind of messed up fetish was this? But this world was filled with messed up dumb f**ks like these.

Han Cai disappeared where he was standing from and reappeared in front of the man sitting in the corner. Han covered his hands with celestial Qi and shoved them right into the eyes of a woozy man. The man yelped, trying to get away.

when the man tried to get Han Cai's hands away. Han Cai realized this man was a golden core cultivator. Because he was drugged, he was not able to fight back, or this man would have kicked Han Cai's butt to oblivion. Han Cai did not let the man go away. He dug his hands deeper into the man's eyes. When his hands were deep enough, he scooped the man's eyes and froze them using freezing Qi.

The man was on the floor now, yelping, trying to move, but the drug was making it hard for him to move. Han Cai covered his hands with the freezing sword Qi and sliced the man's neck. Qi passed through as if it was a knife in butter, and the neck was separated from the body.

After ending man's life, Han Cai came back to his senses. He noticed the old man was standing at some distance, looking at Han Cai with approval in his eyes. Behind the old man, there were five more people standing quietly. They were all dressed in black from Head to Toe.

Breaking the silence, the old man spoke and told Han Cai that he could not have saved the kids, even if he had wanted to, as the target was a golden core realm cultivator who would have escaped if he sensed anything suspicious.

*************************************************

Han Cai was back on his terrace, sipping his tea.

When they returned to the sect, the old man told Han Cai not to mention it to anyone. The dark hall missions were confidential.

What he had witnessed, It had shaken him to his core. This world was unfathomable. Even in his past life, he had seen cruelty but not something this sick. He had seen the worst of humanity - cruelty, greed, and a complete disregard for human life. And as he sat there, he couldn't help but wonder: how could this world be so cruel? 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

For Han Cai, this wasn't a new question. He had seen his fair share of hardships and injustices throughout his previous life and present life. Growing up in a remote town, he had learned early on that the world was a harsh and unforgiving place. But this latest mission had pushed him to his limits.

He realized he couldn't simply vent his anger and frustration. He knew that if he wanted to survive in this cruel world, he needed to be just as cruel as the people he was fighting against. He needed to be ruthless and uncompromising, willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. And as he thought about it more, he realized that this was the only way to survive.

Han Cai closed his eyes and sighed.

Han Cai's perception alarmed him again. Someone has entered his cave abode. Han Cai cursed. He needed to stop drinking tea on the terrace. Maybe this place is bad luck. He quickly opened his eyes and looked around, this time he knew the old man who had arrived. It was none other than Palpatine, aka elder Dongmei.

Palpatine walked in as if it was his cave abode. He looked around the terrace and nodded in approval. And spoke, "It is indeed a good place to enjoy a warm cup of tea."

Han Cai looked at the old man, but he did not get up and bow. He was still traumatized by the stuff he saw. He was just a run-of-the-mill, selfish scoundrel. Now he realized maybe he needed to be crueler. He will start by stopping pretending to be nice to this old man. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Elder Dongmei noticed Han Cai was not speaking anything. He came and sat opposite Han Cai.

Han Cai still did not say anything. Elder Dongmei coughed. He was waiting for Han Cai to serve him tea. But Han Cai ignored Palpatine and kept sipping his tea.

Elder Dongmei sighed and poured himself a cup of tea, and spoke, "I am sorry for what you have seen. We could not save those children, but with that guy gone. We have saved many children in the future."

He continued, "You resent me? Don't you?"

Han Cai did not pretend and nodded.

Elder Dongmei asked, "What do you think I should have done, so you did not have to resent me?"

Han Cai did not speak. But he cursed in mind, "You could have left me the f*ck alone to cultivate in peace. I know the world is filled with maniacs. That Doesn't mean I need to witness it."

Elder Dongmei continued, "If you close your eyes and pretend that evil in this world does not exist, does it really mean that evil in the world stopped existing? One has to take responsibility to end the evil."

Han Cai finally spoke in a sarcastic tone, "So you are saying you are not evil? But you are doing righteous thing and killing those who evil?" Han Cai's intentions were clear don't give me you are a righteous hero, bull crap.

Elder Dongmei was tongue-tied for a while. This child was not as naive as he expected.

Elder Dongmei coughed, "Since you are wise enough to understand I am not a righteous person, but my hall did end that evil man, why do you think we did that?"

Han Cai spoke, "Because he was hurting the interests of the sect?"

Elder Dongmei nodded. "He could eat as many eyeballs as he wanted to. We do not care if it does not hurt our interests. There are many evil people who are worse than him living in this world, but we do not try to kill them all. I did not intend to make you suffer through this, but I did want you to see what kind of harsh things dark hall disciples witness."

Elder Dongmei continued, "That man killed the patriarch of one of the vassal families of our sect, which was an important source of income to our sect. He had backing from the Li family and was always heavily protected. This was the only time when he went to indulge. The Cultivation world is very harsh, and you must compete for resources. Even you need spirit stones to improve your cultivation, don't you? The dark hall has the most important responsibility in the sect. It is to ensure no one can threaten the sect's interest."

Han Cai looked at him blankly, Han Cai did not speak, but that look said everything. The meaning was clear: "Do I look like I give a damn?"

Han Cai spoke, "Does master know about all this?" This was the only doubt Han Cai had as much as he knew his master. His master was a kind-hearted man, and Han Cai could literally feel the innocence, honesty, and uprightness of his master. How did his master cope with this buls**t?
