Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 430: Revenge is something that can’t wait a moment_1
These two individuals were quickly imprisoned. They dared not pervert the law for personal gain again, primarily because the matter had grown too large; a group of Spirit Masters holding Child’s Titles had jointly filed a complaint.
Under certain pressures, the two in custody confessed without reservation, admitting they had become discarded pawns with no chance to reverse their fortunes.
The Great Family needed their reputation, as this was considered a good deed, while the government officials used them to bolster their performance records.
As for the Great Family behind these two, it wasn’t necessarily a loss. They weren’t the only ones sent; other descendants went too. With skillful maneuvering, one of them might even cultivate a more upright and unyielding persona than the others. After all, it wasn’t all peace and harmony within the Great Family; there was rivalry between the main and second branches, and conflict between direct and collateral lines.
By sacrificing two unimportant individuals, everyone could benefit. Why not?
They hadn’t been executed yet because the matter needed to be reported to the central Court to further magnify the impact of this victory.
What kind of incident was this in Zhenhai City? Ideally, it would shock all of Dajing. Then, everyone involved could feast on the resulting political fortune and prestige.
Meanwhile, Wang Linchi, the one at the center of the incident, was gradually being sidelined.
How could the good stuff be shared with a commoner?
But what about my fortuitous encounter? Wang Linchi couldn’t stop thinking about this on his way back. He felt he had lost out. Otherwise, why would he return empty-handed?
When he reached the door, he squinted as he was about to push it open.
Someone had entered his house.
Some people really aren’t afraid of death, huh. Wang Linchi couldn’t help but muse, then pretended not to notice anything as he pushed the door open and walked in.
A middle-aged man stood in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Wang Linchi enter, the man said, "You are now a Spirit Master with a title. Why is your home still so dilapidated?"
"I’m used to it. And you are?" Wang Linchi retorted, bolting the door as he closed it.
The man didn’t notice Wang Linchi’s small action and said, full of himself, "Liu Yan. You should know who I am."
"Of course. The Liu Family Head, one of the few Lifted Persons in Zhenhai City." Wang Linchi naturally knew the name; Liu Yan was a prominent figure in Zhenhai City.
Liu Yan nodded. "You’ve caused quite a stir with this matter."
"A stir? Not really," Wang Linchi chuckled. "They were prepared to use my reputation to pave the way for others. Killing them wouldn’t even be going too far."
"Ruining someone’s future is like killing their parents. Family Head Liu, surely you’re not telling me you don’t even understand this principle?"
Wang Linchi figured it out. So, his son got taught a lesson, and now he’s here to make a scene? Or more bluntly, to bully the weak by flaunting his power.
"I am naturally aware of that," Liu Yan said calmly. But his meaning was clear: Wang Linchi was too arrogant, his reputation too great, and he needed to be suppressed.
"I’ll give you one more chance. Marry into my Liu Family, and this matter will be considered closed."
Liu Yan turned, looking down at Wang Linchi with a condescending gaze.
Liu Yan thought, In my eyes, Wang Linchi is insignificant. If this matter hadn’t blown up so much, requiring me to personally clean up the mess, Wang Linchi wouldn’t even dream of meeting me. If this were before, I wouldn’t have cared about these things. I would have waited until Wang Linchi became a Scholar before taking his treasure. But now, he’s just courting death. How dare a commoner like him provoke our Great Family!
So arrogant? Wang Linchi was surprised by the man’s bluntness.
"In your eyes, it might seem like arrogance, but you need to adapt. Otherwise, you’ll never establish yourself in Zhenhai City," Liu Yan said, as if lecturing Wang Linchi on some grand principle.
"No, what I mean is, I haven’t even been arrogant. What gives you the right to be arrogant with me?" Wang Linchi couldn’t stand it anymore. This guy is too much of a poser.
Hearing Wang Linchi’s words, Liu Yan was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
Liu Yan thought, This is the first time I’ve met someone so clueless.
"Excuse me," Wang Linchi asked, "are you here alone? Does anyone else know you’re here?"
Sometimes, when reason failed and absurdity wasn’t believed, Wang Linchi could only resort to physical persuasion.
"What do you mean?" Liu Yan didn’t grasp Wang Linchi’s intent. Could he possibly dare to kill me?
"I mean, if you didn’t tell anyone, then no one will ever know where you died." As Wang Linchi spoke, the figure of the Saint Master materialized.
Liu Yan’s hair stood on end. Completely unprepared and with no time to utter a word, the Saint Master ripped his head off, spine and all.
"Where did this idiot come from?" Wang Linchi spat, then began to loot the corpse.
After rummaging through everything, he found nothing.
This enraged Wang Linchi, and he gave Liu Yan’s corpse another kick.
"You dare come here seeking death without carrying anything valuable?" Wang Linchi couldn’t stomach this.
He tried to use me to build his prestige, and I retaliated, making him lose face. We should have been even then; it was fair play. I wasn’t petty enough to kill him for that. But to be such a sore loser, come here to threaten me, and act all high and mighty on top of it? That’s just despicable!
"No. Tonight, I must annihilate the Liu Family," Wang Linchi said, seething.
Since they’re pushing their luck, they can’t blame me for being ruthless. As the Liu Family Head, Liu Yan’s actions undoubtedly represent the Liu Family’s code of conduct. If he acts this way, it means the entire Liu Family acts this way. I’ll make sure not a single one is left alive. As for Liu Ling’er and any past connection? What connection? Her attitude was always condescending at first, then overly deferential later. If she had shown a good attitude and offered genuine help back in Baihe County, I wouldn’t have bothered much. But now, she comes looking for me only after I’ve made something of myself; her intentions are crystal clear. Isn’t it obvious she’s after my Potential? Surely not after me as a person.
"Dispose of it. Leave no trace," Wang Linchi instructed the Saint Master.
The Saint Master immediately used the Dragon Talisman to incinerate Liu Yan’s corpse. The intense heat quickly reduced it to ashes, which Wang Linchi collected and then flushed down the latrine.
No need to worry about it being found. The Saint Master’s ’one-stop’ cremation service is very professional.
He then took out his Combat Armor and equipped it.
I can go alone this time. No need for the Saint Master to tag along.
He activated flight mode. Flames erupted from the armor, propelling Wang Linchi straight towards the Liu Family residence.
From the sky, Wang Linchi had a clear view of the entire Liu Family estate.
These damn wealthy clans, living in such splendor. I wonder how many commoners they’ve exploited. Wang Linchi muttered, activating the laser cannon mode.
He pulled a massive cannon barrel from his back and stuffed a pile of Philosopher’s Stones into it for extra amplification.
WHOOSH!
A massive laser beam descended upon the Liu Family estate, sweeping across and instantly splitting it in two.
Fire Light, explosions, and the like erupted one after another, accompanied by various shouts and screams. Wang Linchi felt quite content.
"Damn it! Who dares to attack my Liu Family!" an angry roar echoed.
Wang Linchi pinpointed the source of the voice and blasted it with a three-second laser beam, charring the person beyond recognition.
"Damn it, you’re trying to escape!"
"Why can’t you all just obediently wait for death?" Wang Linchi felt a sense of exasperation, like scolding iron for not becoming steel.
What? They think they can escape? The Liu Family wouldn’t let me resist, so why should I let the Liu Family escape? Just because I didn’t follow their script and become their stepping stone, they came to condemn me, tried to force me into servitude as their Cattle and Horses, and even threatened my life if I refused. So, naturally, since they refuse to die obediently, I’ll have to use even more brutal methods.
"Just wait. I’ll increase the ports and boost the output frequency. Within a minute, everyone will be dead, and I’ll burn the entire Liu estate to ashes!" Without hesitation, Wang Linchi retrieved some Combat Armor components from his Storage space and began installing them.
This instantly increased the number of laser beams from one to ten, each larger and more powerful than before.
The effect of a single volley was incredibly satisfying.
"Ah, that’s better~" Wang Linchi picked off another fleeing Liu clan member and let out a breath. With this efficiency, he finally released his pent-up frustration.
"We were all minding our own business, but you just had to try and squeeze every last bit of value out of me. You shouldn’t have bullied the weak while fearing the strong. Well, now you’ve kicked an iron plate, and I’ve wiped out your entire family."
I don’t deny I’m committing an evil act, but damn, it feels good! Especially since they started it.
"Hopefully, no one will be so blind next time. Otherwise, I can have another killing spree." Wang Linchi reckoned there wouldn’t be any trouble for a while.
Others kill a chicken to warn the monkeys; Wang Linchi killed the monkey directly. The effect was far better than any mere show of force.
