Chapter 2712
At that moment, Linna suddenly saw a figure in a corner. She was stunned for a moment and then shouted, "Faunus, Mr. Huang, save us quickly!"
Her shout attracted his attention.
It turned out that a figure was curled up behind a pile of debris that had been blown away.
It was none other than Faunus Huang, the editor-in-chief of Lichee Daily who had snuck away earlier.
Although he had noticed the danger in advance and snuck away, he hadn't expected the battle to proceed so quickly. Before he could get far away, the aftershock knocked him to the ground.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to get hit by anything, so he was uninjured.
Therefore, he hid behind the debris and pretended to be dead. He hoped that no one would notice him.
At first, even if Fade and Jaddua had noticed a nobody like him, they would never come to fight him.
However, Linna, who was being held hostage, had noticed him and called out to him in desperation. Immediately, several people turned to look at him.
Faunus glared at Linna and wanted to kill the stupid woman.
But at that moment, there was obviously no time for him to take action.
He looked at Jaddua and Fade. Without hesitation, he rushed straight to Fade, fell on his knees, and begged, "Mr. Chen, I'm a Chinese man. Please save me."
Linna was dumbfounded by this scene and could not think clearly. "Mr. Huang, you called for us to oppose Fade, but now..."
Faunus glared at her and said in a hurry, "Linna, don't talk nonsense. I always supported Mr. Chen and opposed these foreign warriors. Mr. Chen is the savior of our country. I will always be his supporter."
"You..." Shewas dumbfounded.
Fade looked at Faunus, who was smiling apologetically on the ground, and he found him absurd and ridiculous.
Faunus thought he didn't know him, so he denied what Linna said to survive.
He had to admit that this kind of shameless person was really tenacious.
Fade sneered and said, "Faunus Huang, Lichee Daily's editor-in-chief. You've published so many fake news stories about me. Do you really think that I don't recognize you?"
"Ah..." Faunus was stunned. He did not expect Fade to know him.
However, he reacted quickly. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong."
"I was forced to do what I did."
"Those foreign martial artists forced me to slander you, Mr. Chen. I was forced to do that!"
"Forced to do that?" Fade sneered. "Then, do you think it's necessary to brainwash these students and send them to oppose me?"
Faunus gritted his teeth and braced himself. "I had no choice. The foreign warriors forced me to do it."
Now, he had no choice but to push all the responsibilities to the foreign warriors.
However, upon hearing this, Jaddua sneered and said, "Mr. Huang, you didn't say that when you took the money from us. How did this become us forcing you?"
As soon as he said it, Faunus' face changed again. He quickly denied the accusations, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Linna was also surprised. "You mean that Mr. Huang only wrote those articles because he was being paid?!"
"Haha, of course that's what
BUT
happened. Otherwise, do you think such a shameless fence-sitter will really sacrifice himself for so-called justice and freedom?" Jaddua looked at Linna like she was a fool. "Only young and impulsive students like you will be deceived." "How could this be possible? We..." She was still in denial and was on the verge of collapsing.
Fade looked down at Faunus who was at his feet and said coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Faunus was stunned. He knew that he couldn't lie to Fade.
He could only grit his teeth and kowtow, crying and begging. "Mr. Chen, I know I'm wrong. I was tempted by money for a moment, so I published those articles. I beg you to give me another chance and I will never do it again. Mr. Chen, T..."
Splatter!
The sound of blood splashing interrupted him..Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
A finger-sized hole appeared in Faunus' heart, gushing blood.
Faunus fell backwards to the ground with his eyes wide open, full of surprise.
In front of him, a stream of energy gradually dissipated from Fade's left fingers. They still carried a whiff of blood.
Fade had killed him with his bare hands.
It was impossible for him to let Faunus live.
After dealing with Faunus, Fade
raised his head and looked at
Jaddua He took a step forward and said coldly, "Now, it's your turn." "Y-You..." Jaddua was shaking with fright.
Linna, who was held hostage by him, was dumbfounded and completely scared silly.
"It's your last chance." Fade took another step forward.
"I- I'll fight to the death with you." Jaddua gritted his teeth, ready to fight until the end.
His determined posture did not match his expression.
As he shouted that he was going to put up a fight, the energy between his fingers stabbed into Linna's body, causing the stunned girl to scream in pain.
Then, he threw the bleeding Linna at Fade.
At the same time, Jaddua turned and fled frantically.
Fade caught her and quickly pressed a few times on her wound to stop the bleeding.
Then, as he looked at the fleeing Jaddua, a cold smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Even a cunning and a cowardly person who is on the verge of death would act like this. He's really stubborn."
While speaking, he raised his right hand and pointed in the direction in which Jaddua was escaping.
In an instant, a burst of energy shot out of Fade's right fingers.
The energy, carrying bits of scarlet light, broke through the air, struck Jaddua in the back, and exited through his heart.
The retreating Jaddua suddenly collapsed to the ground, losing the last bit of his life.
At that moment, silence filled the air.
Right then, everything came to an end.
Every eye fell on Fade and all were filled with conflicted emotions.
Fade turned his gaze to the east. His gaze became sharp and he said coldly, "Go back and tell your master that it's his turn next."
