The raucous laughter at the table quieted.
Wen Yuâs eyes narrowed instantly.
The Black Light had flashed quickly, but it could not evade Wen Yuâs eyes.
This power is quite formidable,
he thought.
Itâs definitely not Bai Feifeiâs own.
The small Soul Beast on his shoulder swiftly merged into Wen Yuâs body. As the Touch of Greed rapidly extended, Wen Yu dashed fiercely towards Bai Feifei!
The tremendous force overturned the table laden with food and wine, and Wen Yuâs right hand swung directly towards the motionless Bai Feifei.
Then, the Black Light flashed again!
"DING..."
Wen Yu staggered back from the recoil.
This defense...
Wen Yu thought,
itâs practically indestructible!
"You! What on earth are you doing?"
Wen Yu roared at Bai Feifei, simultaneously raising his right hand again!
His dislimning ability activated.
Empowered by the dislimning ability, the Touch of Greed left a trail of afterimages as it once again shot towards Bai Feifeiâs head.
However, as the Black Light flashed, even with the power of dislimning, the strike was futile!
His dislimning right hand was abruptly halted by the Black Light.
Wen Yu felt an immense resistance against his hand. As his right hand continued to close in on Bai Feifei, his stamina drained rapidly.
Only after more than half of his stamina was depleted did Wen Yu finally withdraw his arm.
I canât penetrate the Black Lightâs defense,
This was Wen Yuâs conclusion; and indeed, it was the truth.
Seeing Wen Yuâs two consecutive futile strikes, Bai Feifei gasped a deep breath.
The killing intent Wen Yu had just unleashed made Bai Feifei shudder.
Fortunately, the voice in my mind didnât deceive me!
The item in my hand, once triggered, will make me impervious to any harm. Of course, to fully activate it, thereâs still one final step!
Before that, however, Bai Feifei decided to vent her resentment and also let these so-called âpowerful expertsâ die knowing exactly why!
"What am I doing? Didnât I just say? Iâm dragging you all to Hell with me!"
Bai Feifeiâs voice was calm, yet laced with mockery. Wen Yu didnât know what tricks Bai Feifei had, but he was certain of one thing: her confidence was definitely not without reason.
"You..." Bai Feifei began, looking at Sun Aotian, her voice soft in the silent private room. "When we first arrived at the camp, you saved my life. Iâm grateful for that.
"You killed that scum Er Gang and used a healing potion to save Xiaoâan. I was grateful, so I repaid you with my body.
"But why did you attack me just now? Is it because, in your eyes, I jilted you? Actually, youâre mistaken. It wasnât me jilting you; between us, it was just a simple transaction. Only an immature child like you would believe a pretty woman saying âI love youââsuch useless words!
"You hate me, donât you? Well, youâre going to hate me even more."
Then, Bai Feifei turned her head towards Zhang Lifei.
"You. You have strength, you have methods. Youâre much more mature than Sun Aotian. But, you killed my younger brother. You have to admit that.
"So, the ultimate reason I came today was to get revenge on you. You deserve to die!!!
"And most of the people who died because of this matter, itâs your responsibility!"
With that said, Bai Feifei ignored Zhang Lifeiâs ashen face and turned to Sun Ruixing.
"Youâre a good man. When we escaped from Hualin Town, you saved Xiaoâanâs life. I wonât forget that.
"But, perhaps you havenât realized it. As your strength has grown, your kindness has steadily been tainted. Right now, have you gone to see those helpless old people in the camp? Do you still care about the weak in the camp? This morning, did you feel any shame for Xiaoâanâs death? You didnât!
"Of course, thatâs not your fault. So, Big Brother Sun, Iâm sorry. Youâre the one here who most deserves to live!"
Bai Feifei bowed to Sun Ruixing, then turned her head to Wen Yu beside her.
"Do you know? The one who deserves to die the most... is you!!!
"You clearly have the power to change everything, but you act like some lofty god, putting on an air of being too bothered to deal with this or that!
"Donât you realize that with just one word from you, many people in this camp could live better lives? But you did nothing!
"You probably donât know that when they heard youâd returned, every single one of these people now eating and drinking with you was wary of you, afraid youâd snatch away everything that belonged to them. And in the places you donât see, those living in the garbage heaps, theyâd all say, âAh, our hero has returned!â
"What kind of hero are you?
"Youâre nothing!!!
"You! You treat those who truly revere you as ants. You think they have no connection to you, that their attitude towards you is worthless. You believe your power makes you fearless. How laughable!
"Is this the laughable mentality of a powerful expert?
"But youâve forgotten that when you first started, you were weak too. All powerful experts grow from weakness.
"I really want to see what youâll look like when you die!
"And all of you," Bai Feifei looked at everyone at the table, her voice slow and deliberate. "This whole group of so-called âpowerful experts,â so-called âpeople in power,â so-called âadultsâ! You believe your strength is great, that you can decide life and death for the weak and ordinary people in the camp.
"Youâve probably forgotten that these weaklings, these ordinary people, are human too. They are your own kind. Perhaps among them were your former neighbors, your friends. But as the power disparity widened, you selectively forgot their suffering! You built your own happiness on the pain of these weak individuals! You live only for yourselves!
"But we are people too! We have dignity! We also feel anger! And I... can... drag you all... to die with me!
"You probably never imagined that in the end, youâd all be buried alongside a pitiful weakling.
"Remember this: the one who killed you is me, Bai Feifei. And it was for revenge, for Bai Xiaoâan!"
As Bai Feifei finished speaking, she pulled a dagger from her waistband.
The dagger was common, its crude, handcrafted appearance marking it as a piece of rubbish.
A scraping sound was heard as Bai Feifei dragged the dagger across her left wrist.
As the Pain Perception spread, Bai Feifeiâs left hand slowly opened, revealing the black crystal clutched within.
