The lavishly decorated carriage passed through the atrium garden and stopped in front of the brightly lit mansion.
The irritated old Perry caught a glimpse of the servant who was mowing the flower garden when he got out of the car. He had nowhere to vent his emotions, so he kicked the guy who happened to appear in his field of vision without thinking.
"Drag him down and give him a good beating."
Brandon the Windbreaker disappeared, and Old Perry didn't care much about this scheming piece, but the large number of loan certificates in this guy's hands disappeared with him, which made Old Perry feel bad.
As the vice-president of the Kelai Commercial Federation in Boyne City, Old Perry has many things that he cannot do personally, and Brandon, a guy who lives in the slums, is the black glove he trained.
Whether it was because he had evil thoughts and fled with the money, or whether he encountered an unexpected event, Old Perry was frowning. He had to make a judgment to deal with possible risks.
Pushing open the door and looking at the dark bedroom, Old Perry was angry again. Those useless servants forgot to check the lighting in their own rooms and didn't even light the heater!
Suppressing his anger, Old Perry activated his magic power to trigger the chandelier hanging above his head, but there was no response twice in a row.
The door suddenly closed, but old Perry didn't feel the draft. He turned around in confusion, but heard a slight clap.
The bedroom, which was dark just a second ago, was illuminated by lighting crystals placed in every corner. On the desk in the corner, a sphere emitting black mist caught Old Perry's eyes.
Panic occupied every corner of his heart.
"you you……"
"Guard, guard, there's a monster here!"
Old Perry stepped back to the door and tried to open it, but it didn't move. Instead, he kept banging on the door, making a loud "Peng Peng" sound.
"Don't try. After you stepped into this room, I put a soundproof circle here." Coal Ball said coldly, "Old Perry, we meet again."
Perhaps hearing the woman's voice, Old Perry gradually calmed down, but he was still nervous.
"Who are you……"
"More than three years ago, I gave you some gifts in the name of the Divine Chosen of the Theocratic Nation, and begged you to help take care of Qidian Welfare Home. I wonder if you still remember it."
Old Perry froze: "You... Meira's divine choice?"
"I'm very disappointed. That gift is precious enough. The dragon's blood collection is not a good thing that can be easily obtained through trade on the trading continent of Kelai, but you failed to fulfill your promise."
Old Perry quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained: "You must be here because of the threats to the Qidian Welfare Institute. This is indeed my lack of care. I only recently learned that the two deans were threatened by unknown sources."
If someone makes things difficult for you, please rest assured that I will be able to give you an answer to this matter soon."
"It's okay, I also have an answer for you."
Sera rolled up her tentacles and pulled out from the closet beside her a man whose skin was not covered with a single piece of flesh, as if his skin had been scratched by thousands of blades.
The shocking wounds made the seventeen-year-old Perry's eyelids jump. He recognized the man at a glance as the missing Brandon.
"Lend usury to poor people, and if they can't get it, they change the rules to make them fall into the abyss. In the end, they have to sell their wives and children, turn them into legalized slaves, and sell them to transcontinental slave traders at high prices."
"All the food sold to the slums is mixed with sediment and moldy substances, causing them to have vomiting and diarrhea, and they have to turn to the potion shop you opened."
"You deceive those poor people who don't understand pharmacology, and the potions you make not only have no therapeutic effect, but even have many side effects, in order to get them to buy other herbal medicines from you..."
"In order to survive, these people eventually became your slaves. You threw them into the death arena and staged a life-and-death duel with other people who also had no magic power, while you happily shared the objective income from watching the game with other nobles.
.”
"In addition, you also used living people to conduct pharmacological experiments, led puppet teachers and students to harvest their organs, allowed alchemists to try human sacrifices in order to achieve breakthroughs, and offered slave flesh and blood to foreign races to open up trade routes..."
After all, Brandon was made of flesh and blood. Faced with the slow execution method of the Judge of the Abyss, he spoke with a stiff mouth and screamed, explaining everything he had done for old Perry.
.
"You are not a human being at all!"
Lu Lu's voice was trembling, and her anger almost destroyed the consciousness of Lu Yu and Sera.
Lu Lu thought of her parents, who were so poor that they fought against monsters in order to change her fate, just to open the door to the magician world for her.
Here at Lulu, old Perry has a way to die.
"It's full of nonsense. Brandon and I have a grudge. They just bit each other before they died. Wouldn't you rather believe a gangster than me, a member of the Kelai Trading Consortium?"
There was a brief silence in the room.
Lu Yu suddenly laughed: "Old Perry, that's not what your son said."
The door that could not be opened no matter how hard it was knocked was unscrewed from the outside. Under Old Perry's horrified eyes, his three sons, his wife, and his two mistresses were all led in by a woman with eyeballs on her wings.
"For a moment, untie it."
After a moment of snapping his fingers, everyone with bewildered faces slowly woke up. After looking left and right, they looked at Old Perry in shock, and then shouted for help in horror.
"Each of them testified about the crimes of others. Now you refuse to admit that you did those things. It's very interesting..."
Lu Yu's words made the family's eyes dull.
"Since you have all said in private that you know nothing about everything, let's play a game."
"game?"
"Here is a deck of cards. Later, you can write on the cards to live alone or give up."
Lu Yu said: "First, choose to live alone. No matter who accuses you, your crime will be wiped out by me, and others will die for you. Second, everyone abstains together and everyone survives, but everyone has to pay for it."
cost."
Old Perry, who was proficient in transactions, swallowed and asked nervously: "What's the price?"
Lu Yu did not give an accurate answer, but placed the shuffled stack of cards in front of the seven people: "Please."
Old Perry tried to secretly activate the magic circle set up in the room to send out an alarm signal, but the next second he heard the demonic male voice.
"Stop trying so hard. Those little tricks of yours seem ridiculous to me. You don't have much time. It's time to choose your cards."
Old Perry gathered all his family members together and stared tremblingly at the deadly card in his hand.
Lu Yu did not disturb them and allowed them to struggle. After a while, the old Perry family distributed the cards in their hands and began to write nervously.
Everyone is trying hard to delay writing, hoping that outsiders will discover the abnormality here as soon as possible and rescue them quickly. However, their names obviously do not support their dawdling.
Lu Yu waved casually and received the cards written by everyone in his hand. With just one glance, he laughed.
Facing seven anxious faces, the magic power suspended the cards in mid-air, and each of them saw the answers of the others.
Seven uniform "alone lives".
Old Perry was furious: "You, you!"
"Father, didn't you also write 'Living Alone'? Why are you blaming us? This was the choice you made after repeatedly telling us and persuading us!"
"The traitor!"
Lu Yu took out another deck of cards, and the sound of the cards moving attracted the attention of seven people.
"Is this going to happen again?" they thought.
A black shadow appeared faintly. He held the card in his hand and knelt humbly on the ground, just like the servants in old Perry's house who could be called around.
The cards were scattered on the ground. Lu Yu looked at the one left in his hand and said calmly: "You guys are really getting an advantage."
The Judge of the Abyss transformed into a huge guillotine, and the sharp blade reflected the dull light, releasing a cold chill that made everyone in the room tremble.
"The game just now has no result. Seven people living alone are obviously outside the rules. Please continue!" Old Perry, sensing something was wrong, immediately requested.
"Rules?" Lu Yu said in surprise, "You tell me the rules?"
Sierra and Lulu reached out to the table with their tentacles, grabbed a stack of scrolls and threw them heavily in front of Old Perry.
Old Perry tremblingly picked up the scroll, and what came into view was a list of human experiments provided to the puppeteer and alchemist, as well as a contract of betrayal.
The lowest level is clearly the cooperation agreement he signed with Qidian Welfare Institute.
"Have you ever followed the rules?" Lu Yu's voice suddenly rose, "Why do you talk to me about the rules?"
"Because they are weak, you can trample on the rules. It's great, isn't it? It just so happens that I also like this kind of gameplay."
Old Perry's face was red, and the fear of death and the shame of being teased caused a surge of air in his chest.
"Here, I am the rule. I am better than you, so I can do whatever I want with you. You are just a toy to please me, just a clown on the stage I set up."
Resistance failed, and an invisible force emerged from the guillotine, forcefully suppressing Old Perry's son to step forward and kneel on the agreement he had trampled on countless times.
Old Perry tried to use magic to fight, but under the pressure of the magic released by Lu Yu, he couldn't even move a finger. Only then did Old Perry realize that in front of this monster, he couldn't even fight with all his strength.
No qualifications.
"Save me, father, save me!"
He couldn't shout many times before the blade fell rapidly, followed by a heavy "snap" sound, and the smell of blood spread in the room.
"Next."
Lu Yu looked like a judge reading out the verdict, his tone cold.
The son, wife, and mistress cried, scolded, struggled, or begged for mercy, but all to no avail. Old Perry's teeth were broken and blood was bleeding from the corners of his eyes.
Even though they had disobeyed me just now, they were all his own flesh and blood...
"It's very powerless, isn't it?" Lu Yu tapped the guillotine lightly and wiped the blood on the blade, "Those who were killed by you also feel the same way."
"Most of them don't even know who killed him. They just think that it was bad luck that caused one step and one mistake. They have no idea that it was just you, a big businessman, who wanted to make more money.
Let them end up in such a miserable situation."
"After all, you are not a kind person, you are a villain!" Old Perry shouted with blood in his mouth, "I will not let you go, even if I die!"
"Okay, if you become a spirit, please bring all your family members with you. I don't mind killing you again."
The Judge of the Abyss drew a card again, and this time he chose a bronze bull.
Lu Yu watched Old Perry being sucked into the body of the copper bull, watching the flames emerge from the surface of the copper bull, and the infiltrating shouts came and went...
He pushed open the door and went out, lifted the soundproofing circle, and let old Perry's voice spread throughout the mansion.
Watching the thugs captured by Old Perry coming from all directions, tentacles dancing wildly in the black mist.
The brightly lit mansion soon became silent, and blood gurgled down the stairs.
When the people of Beaune City learned about Old Perry's death the next day, they also learned about the news that came from nowhere - Old Perry was the mastermind behind Brandon's lending money and careless management of people's lives.
The original panic soon turned into a secret excitement that they dared not express openly but overflowed in secret. Those poor people who suffered deeply even thought silently that it would be best for more such people to die.
Imagination has become reality.
Nobles, businessmen, and notorious magicians died miserably one after another. The city of Boyne seemed to be stared at by a terrifying beast. Since the establishment of the business complex, there has never been such an intensive attack and killing incident.
So much so that it finally alerted the highest-ranking magician in the alliance to come to the scene to investigate in person.
This group of strong men who arrived at the eighth level after the magic wave looked at each murder scene, relying on the magic residue to restore the situation at that time, and then looked solemn.
"Very strong..."
"Ordinary sixth-level and seventh-level people are like toys in front of him."
"He has very little residue of mobilizing magic power, which means that his utilization and control rate of magic power is astonishingly high..."
"What kind of monster came to Boyne City...and how did these idiots offend it?"
"Perhaps the only good thing is that he is simply seeking revenge on these people and has no intention of targeting the Federation."
"But such people wandering around the territory of Kelai are a huge security risk... Maybe we should find them first and kill them. They must have experience in high utilization of magic power. By mastering it, we will definitely be able to survive in this chaos.
The era has taken a further step forward.”
"I agree with you, but the question is...where is he and who is he?"
The eighth-level magicians were silent. They suddenly realized that tracking such a powerful person who might be as powerful as them was simply a wishful thinking.
At this time, Lu Yu crossed out the last one on the list that Yinske gave him. He used the simplest and crudest way to seek justice for his own people, and at the same time, he shared the ugly faces of these businessmen with those who were still there.
Ordinary people who are kept in the dark.
As for whether they will continue to remain silent and continue to be preyed on, or whether they will stand up and resist while there is still a possibility of awakened people, that is their own choice.
