LOGIN“No problem—I should help you as satisfied customers!” Tian Sen replied with a gentle, relaxed smile, looking toward the women on the first floor. Seeing that Tian Sen seemed harmless, all the women were very pleased with his honest demeanor and thanked him. “If you’re thanking me, could you make me a meal for today? Tomorrow you’ll be opening the shop, so at least give me some comfort while you’re cleaning the upper floor!” said Tian Sen with a smile, looking forward to the meal he wanted to eat that day since he was indeed hungry. “Oh, of course, young Tian. Today, we’ll all be here just to serve you!” said the brothel owner happily. She didn’t feel she’d lost out because of what Tian Sen had done; on the contrary, she was happy because, thanks to Tian Sen, her brothel could open the next day after resolving the misunderstanding. That day, Tian Sen was truly treated very well by them—not a single one of them was unhappy. They danced, flirted, and gave everything to Tian Sen, just
“Captain, this is a major problem! The merchants’ deaths are raising questions among our superiors. None of the women who served them realized they were dead!” said the soldier, who seemed confused about how the perpetrator had moved. They had already checked the roof but found no signs of it being breached; thus, in one case, it was certain the killer had entered the room, but in the others, the victims died from poison whose source they themselves did not know. The absence of any objects or needles at the crime scene made it impossible for them to find evidence of how the perpetrator had acted. “This is going to be tough! The victims were major merchants in this city; if we can’t find evidence of their deaths, our superiors will question our performance!” He was also worried about the consequences he might face for failing to determine the cause of these deaths. Although, in truth, he himself was pleased by the deaths of the merchants who always raised prices on the city’s resident
“You! What are you doing here?” shouted the fat man, not expecting Tian Sen to be bold enough to approach him. He knew Tian Sen, and since they’d set out that morning, Tian Sen hadn’t been seen again. They thought the young man had left them, but some merchants suspected that Tian Sen might have gone into the forest and gotten lost there. Since they were in a hurry to get to the city, the guards had no choice but to leave Tian Sen there at the time. “Me? You’re asking what I’m doing? Of course, I’m here to kill you, you damn bastard! Because of you, they all died—innocent people who knew nothing became the victims. Since the government can’t punish you, let my sword do the talking!” Tian Sen said coldly to the fat merchant. Seeing how serious Tian Sen was, the fat man was terrified, but his body wouldn’t move—not only because the woman was on top of him, but also because he was still inside her, so he couldn’t pull out. “You—aren’t you afraid of being arrested by the city guards? We
“Hey, looks like we’ve failed!” said the merchant who had arrived in the city, but they had indeed failed in the plan they had devised themselves. The other merchants nodded in agreement; they had indeed failed, but it didn’t matter because they had already discussed it with the person who wanted the item. Besides, they’d already obtained everything they needed for their trade; you could say that a single failure wouldn’t stop the money from coming their way. Of course, they didn’t care about the deaths of the people on the train either; in their eyes, those lives were a mere trifle compared to their money. “This time we managed to get away using a bit of a sneaky trick, but after this it’ll be hard for us to get away. Luckily, I’d already made a copy of the item on the train, so that guy was satisfied even though it was just a copy!” said another, feeling that his plan had succeeded and that if he hadn’t acted, they might not only have lost the money but could have even had their he
The pain from that night resurfaced on yet another night, when rain and a storm struck once again. Not only had he failed, but he himself had caused them to be caught up in this chaos. If only he hadn’t tried to separate them back then, perhaps Tian Sen could have saved some of them—but now, not a single one remained. They were all truly dead, with no one left; their tragic deaths left Tian Sen with a blank expression. The sight of him kneeling in front of the corpse of a mother embracing her two children was truly heartbreaking.“Big brother, do you want to be an adventurer?”“Big brother, I want more candy!” “Ahahaha, I used to be a handsome young man! Don’t underestimate me, kid—my youth was more glorious than you can imagine, hahahahahaha!”Various memories of his conversations with his grandfather and the people on the train flooded Tian Sen’s mind. Just yesterday, they were still laughing and eating together, but now those people had turned into corpses—so Tian Sen himself didn
“Why? Why are you killing us?” asked a middle-aged woman lying on the ground, clutching her two children. She had come to her senses after those people attacked their train; even the people inside the train were killed without mercy. They also didn’t know why they were being killed, especially since her children had suffered torture that was heart-wrenching enough to break many people’s hearts—yet they were still killed by those repulsive creatures.“You’re not at fault, but they are guilty of having toyed with us!” said the man in the black robe, staring at the dying woman.“Then why…?” the woman asked once more, her voice hoarse and her heart aching. She could see something at the waists of the men in black robes—a symbol that represented the truth of this kingdom, a symbol of the kingdom’s pride—but why? Why, instead of protecting them, was that very symbol the one killing them? “Captain, everything’s taken care of, and we should have gotten what we wanted. Let’s head back!” said
