Watching the raging flas burn, Abbas also began to go mad. The humiliation he had suffered before and the pain coming from the wounds now—none of it mattered anymore.
His enemy, the hated Xiang Yu, would perish in the blaze. At the sa ti, he wanted Wang Xiao to see that his newly appointed deputy leader could be killed so easily by Abbas himself. What could he do about it?
This was a catharsis, a thrill after exacting personal revenge on his enemy.
"Ha ha... see this? This is what happens when you cross ," Abbas shouted loudly.
Many people around were pulling Abbas to leave quickly, but he still showed no intention of moving. He seed to enjoy watching the fierce flas.
At this ti, many people had already started running toward the area. But when they saw it was Xiang Yu’s house, everyone wore an expression of schadenfreude; no one attempted to put out the fire.
So even turned off their lights and pretended to sleep when they saw it was Xiang Yu’s house.
After laughing heartily, Abbas suddenly realized a problem: he hadn’t heard any screams from inside, not even a single cry.
Could it be that Xiang Yu and his people had burned to death directly without making any sound?
Abbas was a bit puzzled. If that was the case, wouldn’t that be too easy for Xiang Yu and his gang?
"Deputy leader, let’s go," a few people advised him at this ti.
Things had co to this point; although they were not afraid of the leader seeing them, they still had to give Wang Xiao so face. Leaving now was the wisest decision.
Abbas gradually sobered up and then nodded, saying, "Let’s go. It’s just too easy for Xiang Yu’s group; letting them die like this was too easy."
Even so, Abbas still felt a sense of relief in his heart; the sense of pleasure was sincere.
Just as they turned to leave, they suddenly discovered three dark shadows chatting quietly not far ahead.
"Brother Yu, now that this place has burned down, where are we going to stay?" a big man said helplessly. This person was Tie Zhuzi.
Xiang Yu chuckled, "I’ve already picked out a place, just at the far end of the community; it’s perfect for us."
Tie Zhuzi nodded, "Brother Yu, so you’ve planned this all along."
The group with Abbas was sowhat incredulous, looking at the three people in front of them. They had a deep impression of Xiang Yu’s trio and recognized them at a glance.
"Are you human or ghost?" one of them said, trembling.
"What do... you... think?" Tie Zhuzi deliberately elongated his voice. Coupled with the surrounding environnt and the firelight casting on the trio’s faces, they looked like vengeful spirits.
"We didn’t an to hurt you," one of them was trembling all over with fear.
Although others didn’t believe in ghosts, they still felt a chill in their hearts.
After all, the whole situation was so mysterious. They had clearly seen Xiang Yu’s trio turn off the lights and go to sleep. They didn’t leave the room, yet after setting the house on fire, Xiang Yu’s trio were suddenly appearing there in front.
"You guys, don’t co near," they said.
Xiang Yu and the others moved forward slowly, while the people around Abbas retreated in fear.
"I died so wrongfully," Xiang Yu stared straight ahead, mouth half-open, hands starting to raise.
At this mont, another violent explosion ca from behind, along with a blast of air, and many people imdiately knelt down there.
Abbas couldn’t quite believe what was happening in front of him; his body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Xiang Yu, if you’re dead, just leave here and stop causing trouble," Abbas gathered his courage and shouted.
"Why are you trying to harm ?" Xiang Yu approached Abbas, reaching out his hand.
At this mont, the people around Abbas scread and ran in all directions; at this point, nobody cared for anyone, all wanting to get away from this haunted place.
Many of them believed they weren’t afraid of death, but faced with such matters, instinctively chose to flee.
In the end, only Abbas and Xiao Wu remained, trembling but not leaving.
The people hiding around didn’t know what happened; they only knew soone had burned down Xiang Yu’s house.
Hearing movent outside now, they had no intention of going out.
Everyone understood that it wasn’t anyone else who burned Xiang Yu’s house. It had to be soone from Group One.
As for who, none of them wanted to know. The less they knew, the better; they were happy to remain uninvolved.
Abbas and Xiao Wu trembled as they walked to the back.
Abbas saw that only Xiao Wu was left beside him and felt sowhat touched. "In dire tis, you see soone’s true colors. Xiao Wu, you’re my true brother."
Abbas was a bit moved; he didn’t expect that Xiao Wu was the one accompanying him at this critical mont.
But Xiao Wu was so frightened he was out of his mind. His lips quivered as he looked at the three people ahead, "It’s none of my business, none of my business. Abbas made do it; you’re already dead, so go find him. It’s nothing to do with ..."
Abbas then realized that Xiao Wu wasn’t unwilling to run; he was so scared he didn’t know to run.
At this mont, he truly felt an impulse to slap Xiao Wu to death.
"What a bunch of useless people," Xiang Yu sneered.
Tie Zhuzi also tapped the ground with his iron rod and laughed, "Brother Yu, how did you know they would co?"
Xiang Yu shook his head, "I just had a feeling there would be trouble tonight. I didn’t expect it to be them."
It turned out that after turning off the lights, Xiang Yu’s trio had jumped out from the back window, hiding in a dark spot to observe the situation around, precisely for this occurrence.
"You’re not ghosts," seeing the three of them talking calmly, Abbas gathered his courage to say.
"Does it matter if we’re ghosts?" Xiang Yu sneered and then walked calmly forward.
Realizing now that Xiang Yu was human, Abbas turned to flee.
Xiang Yu snorted coldly and threw a dagger directly.
Abbas, putting too much force, inadvertently pulled his wound, and he gasped, causing a slight delay in his movent.
And it was precisely this slight delay that caused him to narrowly avoid Xiang Yu’s dagger.
"Oh!"
Xiang Yu was sowhat incredulous, surprised that the opponent dodged his dagger.
Tie Zhuzi, at this mont, rushed up in two or three steps and brought the iron rod down hard on Abbas’s shoulder.
"Crack!"
Abbas scread miserably and knelt on the ground, his left arm dangling uselessly, already numb.
"Run, try running again," Tie Zhuzi kicked Abbas in the face.
Xiang Yu also approached, crouched down with a smile, and looked at Abbas, "You wanted to kill ?"
Looking into Xiang Yu’s eyes, Abbas trembled again. A deep fear rose from his heart and suddenly made him kneel down with a ’thud’.
"I was wrong from the start," Abbas cried, tears streaming down.
"Knowing your mistakes is the sign of a good child," Xiang Yu said, patting Abbas’s head as though he were a senior...
