Chapter 37: 037: Beaten
No one in the world would have the audacity to offend someone like him. After all, these mercenaries could cause chaos in their country with just five of them alone. They may even have to deploy their troops just to fight them.
Although the Tang Sect had their own mercenaries, their quality and quantity were not of the same caliber as the Sanctuary’s.
He was the most powerful figure in the River Delta.
On this day that Saka died, she finally got to meet Z!
Dong Yuetong felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
A minute ago, she had envied her sister, but now, all of it had turned into joy.
If Saka and Z were good friends, the Tang Sect would be able to further expand with the help of the Sanctuary.
The immense pressure made it even more difficult for Dong Yuetong to breathe. She was already panting, but she tried to put on her best smile while looking at Z. Along with her swollen red eyes, she looked so pitiful that anyone who saw her would want to protect her.
By now, Z already stood in front of Dong Yuetong. Since she was only 165 cm, her height only reached his shoulder, which made her look even more helpless.
Xue Jinyuan, who was standing next to her, reached out his hand, prepared to greet the other party. However, before anyone around them could so much as react, Z had already grabbed onto Dong Yuetong’s neck at a terrifying speed.
“Xiao Yue!” Xue Jinyuan’s eyes shuddered and he screamed. He tried to attack Z in the ribs to loosen the grasp he had on Dong Yuetong.
However, before he could even touch the other person, Z had already kicked him in the chest and sent him flying.
Xue Jinyuan was also someone who knew martial arts.
Since he was Saka’s fiance and the young master of the Xue family, he had been trained by experts that were hired by his family. Being able to sit firmly as the future heir of the Xu family and even managing to become Saka’s fiance showed that he was an extremely talented man.
When he was attacked by Z, he tried blocking with his arms. It may seem like he wasn’t using much force, but in fact, he was already blocking with all his might.
The person that he was facing was Z!
He was someone who could command the international mercenaries.
The moment he got kicked by Z, he realized that he had made a mistake.
His efforts of perseverance for the past 20 years were like that of an ant trying to shake a big tree.
Even if he used all of his strength, he was still easily kicked away by Z.
When his butt touched the ground, Xue Jinyuan felt as if his brain and ego had both been smashed into pieces.
“Young master!”
When the bodyguards of the Xue family saw this spectacle, they quickly took out their guns and pointed them at Z. Two of them simultaneously went forward to support their Young Master, who was on the ground.
“Move back!” Xue Jinyuan screamed at his bodyguards even before he could stand up straight.
However, it was obvious that his warning was not as fast as the men from the Sanctuary.
Everyone around them, whether it be on land or sea, was already surrounded by the men from the Sanctuary.
These men were either retired soldiers or hired mercenaries from all over the world. They had the stamina and physicality of an iron-blooded army. The Xue family’s bodyguards simply could not contend with them.
The most important thing was that the Sanctuary had firearms businesses and most of their weapons were heavy machinery. The Xue family’s bodyguards, on the other hand, only held onto handguns.
While facing such a power disparity, the Xue family’s bodyguards were already trembling.
“Put your guns down!” The veins on Xue Jinyuan’s forehead were already pounding as he screamed.
Chapter 38: 038: You killed Saka
As the bodyguard’s heard the order, they immediately put down their guns.
However, the other party did not repay their kindness by putting their guns down. Instead, the mercenaries who were close to the bodyguards even mocked them as they pointed their guns against the bodyguard’s head while chewing on pieces of gum in their mouths.
As for Z, he didn’t even look at Xue Jinyuan. His hands were still gripping onto Dong Yuetong’s neck, and the sharp look in his eyes was like daggers piercing through her body.
“You’re the one who killed Saka.
Z finally spoke, but the words that he said shocked everyone around, their eyes widening.
???
What did they just hear?
Dong Yuetong’s eyes widened in fear as she stared at the man who was a head taller than her. At this moment, her entire body was trembling.
As she faced the suspicious looks from the elders of the Tang Sect, Dong Yuetong panicked and immediately explained, “I… I didn’t… Why would I harm my own sister? She… she’s my big sister!”
“The only person other than me who knew that she was coming to this island for a holiday was you. I wouldn’t harm her, so the only one that would could only be you!”
Dong Yuetong’s heart sank.
When did that b*tch become friends with Z?
Z even knew about her private schedule.
What was their relationship?
“No… it wasn’t me! You’ve got to trust me! She was already suffering from chronic depression, and it was incurable. There were already a few times that she tried to kill herself, and I was the one who stopped her. One time, she already managed to harm herself, and if it weren’t for me, she would have already died. If I were the one who killed her, why would I save her and try to stop her from harming herself?
“Big sister was always so nice to me. She even brought the Tang Sect to this level. If I’m being frank, I would’ve been able to earn a fortune had I stayed beside her. Without her, most of them wouldn’t even care about the Tang Sect. She was so important to me, so why would I kill her?”
As Z’s grasp on her softened, it was easier and smoother for Dong Yuetong, and in the end, Z even let go of her.
“I’m not going to kill you now, but not because I trust you, but that I don’t have enough evidence yet. Seeing as you’re her sister, I’ll let you go for now. However, if I find out that you’re the one who caused her death, I will make you regret being born in this world.”
Dong Yuetong’s face turned pale, and her lips wouldn’t stop trembling: …
“I’ll be taking over. Now, take your men and leave!”
“But… I’m Saka’s sister. I’m her only family. I…”
“Get lost!” Z didn’t want to even listen to her explanation.
Dong Yuetong had a pitiful look as she stared at Xue Jinyuan’s face that was pale and twisted. She said in a sorrowful tone —
“Brother Jinyuan!”
This weak and helpless white lotus look that she had on was entirely different from the strong, independent image that was on camera before this.
She was different from Saka, who was the kind that was born strong. As for Dong Yuetong, she was the type where even if she had the abilities, she would rather rely on a man. She’d play the role of the poor bird who needed a man to depend on, and the man would feel the need to protect her as well.
Which was why when she cried for help, it immediately triggered Xue Jinyuan.
Xue Jinyuan spoke with a dark face. “Mr. Z, we appreciate your help with searching for Saka’s body. However, Xiao Yue is Saka’s younger sister and I am her fiance. This is a matter for the Tang Sect and the Xu family. We won’t be needing your help, Mr. Z”
As he heard Xue Jinyuan’s words, Z chuckled and his cold laugh was like a calling of death from hell.
