Ronald’s spirit was engulfed in extre confusion for a mont.
His mind was filled with bewildernt.
Was this person in front of him the Second Generation Brave Warrior Qin Chu? Why was he here? Hadn’t Rose Vesper said he was on the front lines fighting demons?
Why were Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnts in his hands?
How did he know that he wanted to find Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnts?
Too many questions burst into his mind all at once, causing Ronald’s head to ache intensely. Faintly, he could feel a massive conspiracy enveloping him like a vast net.
If Ronald could calm down, he might realize where the problem lay in all this. Unfortunately, the poor chap had been tortured so severely by Luo ng that his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
The Soul Fragnt of Lord Jie Luo, resembling a transparent stone in Qin Chu’s palm, had completely captured Ronald’s attention, leaving him no ti to think about anything else.
He rushed at Qin Chu like a madman.
"Give it back to !"
"Ronald, you wouldn’t want to crush it, would you?"
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, issuing a shaless threat.
Grit!
Ronald had to slam on the brakes, stopping in his tracks, his eyes filled with intense resentnt.
"You know my na?" Ronald’s eyes narrowed into slits, filled with venom.
After knowing Qin Chu was the Second Generation Brave Warrior, his dislike for this man escalated to another level. If earlier he felt a slight guilt about killing this man who had saved him, now even that slight guilt had vanished.
"Of course, who doesn’t know the great na of the noble Swordsman Ronald?" Qin Chu smiled, "So graceful and dashingly handso, countless brainless Noble Ladies in the Imperial City are infatuated with you."
"What if they found out that the noble Swordsman had beco the White Burned Swordsman, even having to stick his butt up in the air on the demons’ territory, laying on the ground entertaining the demons? What would happen to the dreams of those Noble Ladies?"
"That feeling, it must be quite spectacular, right?"
Ronald’s body trembled violently, his face ashen. Qin Chu’s words reminded him of the past humiliations he had suffered, and he creaked open his mouth, emitting a scream like that of a woman, "How, how do you know this?"
Qin Chu rubbed his forehead with so irritation, "You used to be a very clever person, delicate in thinking. Can’t you see sothing so obvious?"
Ronald felt as if his chest had been struck heavily.
His throat convulsed violently.
From the mont the Second Generation Brave Warrior was summoned, to him now holding Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt before his face, and considering Qin Chu’s recent words.
A horrifying deduction began to take root in Ronald’s chest.
In a way, the man standing quietly before him was no longer a human but a thorough devil.
He gasped violently, as if his heart were tightly chained, his eyes even brimming with despair, "You and Luo ng..."
"Right, we’ve been in contact for a long ti; that guy is a very useful tool." Qin Chu admitted readily.
"Do you know how thrilled I was when Luo ng told he had gathered thousands of demons to entertain you?"
Qin Chu spread his arms wide; he was like a prayer, his face filled with holiness, "That feeling..."
"It was so delightful!"
And Ronald, he could not delight at all.
It was as if there was a burst of air jamd in his chest that he couldn’t vent, almost suffocating him with frustration.
It felt like a piece of his heart had been gouged out, that piece stuffed full of anger and vengeance.
His rationality was returning; he was gradually clarifying everything that had happened recently.
"Benson’s death..."
"Yes, the news about Benson was provided by to Luo ng, and along the way, I also took away Benson’s Pseudo Absolute Defense power," Qin Chu admitted with a smile, hitting Ronald hard again, "So don’t even think about killing , you don’t have the ability, understand?"
"And not to ntion, you’ve already beco a cripple, even if you still had your strength, you would not be able to kill ."
The words ’a cripple’ deeply stung Ronald.
His voice was hoarse, "My whereabouts..."
"I revealed them too."
"By the way, the fact that Aileen was helping you was also inford by to Luo ng, even the final massive attack was my suggestion."
"Simply put, without , Luo ng couldn’t have caught you, so you don’t have to stick your butt up..."
Ronald could not bear it anymore and roared, "Damn it, can you not ntion that?"
"Alright, it doesn’t matter to ." Qin Chu agreed magnanimously; he was really too rciful.
"So all this, it was your conspiracy?"
"Of course, but compared to conspiracy, I prefer the word ’strategy.’" Qin Chu nodded.
Ronald was extrely angry, his chest heaving violently, his lungs almost bursting, "You bastard, are you even fit to be a hero? You’ve betrayed humanity!"
"No, no, no." Qin Chu imdiately shook his head. He couldn’t bear the accusation of betraying all of humanity, "I haven’t betrayed all of humanity, apart from you mbers of the Hero Team, I haven’t hurt anyone..."
Well, the prince seed... Never mind, that guy wasn’t human in the end.
"Do you know what people are calling now? ’Descent Angel,’ ’Envoy of the Goddess.’ Compared to the First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo, I seem to be more popular now."
"Besides, even if it was betrayal, it wasn’t who betrayed you, it was you who betrayed ."
"You don’t think I know nothing about what your Hero Team has been plotting, do you?" Qin Chu dropped another bombshell.
Ronald’s pupils shrank dramatically, horrified and shocked. His body involuntarily trembled a few tis. This man knew everything? This was the worst possible scenario.
Only the Hero Team knew about the things discussed internally. How on earth did Qin Chu hear about it?
Could it an there was a traitor within the Hero Team?
This thought fueled Ronald’s rage.
This was a betrayal, not just of himself, but of Lord Jie Luo too.
"Think whatever you want. I won’t tell you who the traitor is..."
In fact, those who had survived, Aileen, Aili, Rose Vesper of the Mad Demon Muses were still normal. Catherine was a firm traitor, Asina was too, and even Silf was sowhat a traitor.
Qin Chu even wondered if, after a few more deaths, except for Rose Vesper, all the others would be traitors?
"One thing I can tell you, that fool Rose Vesper even suspected Augustus."
Hiss...
Ronald’s body trembled uncontrollably as he finally realized that the situation in the Hero Team was more dire than he had imagined. This devil, Qin Chu, had wreaked havoc on the entire team with his machinations.
"Even though I bear no grudges and no resentnts against you, you still wanted to kill for a Jie Luo who is long dead. Don’t I have the right to fight back? Where in the world are there such overbearing rules... This is just self-defense, so there’s nothing wrong with it."
Qin Chu’s face was all smiles, enjoying the sight of Ronald’s anger, hatred, and even despair. The more furious and desperate Ronald beca, the more delighted Qin Chu felt. Let these feelings co more intensely.
Ronald was panting heavily, feeling his consciousness fading in waves. The continuous shocks were too much for him to bear, and in his eyes, the future of the Hero Team was almost entirely dark.
His face was filled with sorrow:
"Aren’t you afraid these things will be exposed?"
Qin Chu seed a bit puzzled, finding Ronald’s words incomprehensible, "Why should I be afraid?"
"It was Luo ng who killed Benson and you. He will co forward to admit it."
"I killed Karsas in the na of justice. No one will bla , they will only thank for eliminating a nace... By the way, I should tell you, Karsas’s rampage and fall were also orchestrated by , just to have a justifiable reason to execute him publicly."
Ronald had almost lost all his strength; he sat down hard on the ground, aggravating his wounds. But his body seed to barely feel the pain anymore, just shivering neurotically.
This enemy was far more terrifying than imagined.
His mind was ticulous, his plans comprehensive.
He was malevolent and cruel, capable of anything.
His talent was also imnsely exaggerated, with his power growing extraordinarily fast.
This was the most terrifying, most despair-inducing enemy.
"Why must you be so cruel?" Ronald, having completely lost hope, asked in a whisper.
"Cruel?"
"No, Ronald."
Qin Chu’s voice was filled with cold detachnt and satisfaction, "Do you have the right to call cruel? Do any of you in the Hero Team have the right? You exploited all my value, tossed aside after using up, exploited my trust to stab in the back and then defad my reputation, wanting to tear into six pieces in front of a public crowd and suppress my torso and limbs at the End of the Sky, Sea Corner, Cloud Peak, Heart of the Lake, Tree Roots, and place my head under the Holy City to be eternally trampled by the masses..."
His voice turned into a venting roar.
"Compared to what you did to , I even feel I was kind..."
Suddenly, Qin Chu changed his tone, no longer as oppressive, but even filled with a joyful air, "By the way, Ronald, did you know?"
"Benson is dead, giving the Power of Pseudo Absolute Defense."
"Karsas is dead, giving the na of Divine Envoy and Descent Angel."
"And you, you’ve actually brought Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt."
"I thank you for that."
Pff!
Ronald, already engulfed in imnse oppression, couldn’t hold back anymore when he heard this; he suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood!
To strike at the heart, it was just so!
