Chapter 256

He explained to Huang Quan.

【Thank you very much.】

【As a token of gratitude, should the situation turn unfavorable to the Stelle Express during the standoff...】

【I will stand with you.】

【—I offer whatever little help I can.】

Stelle: "With those words from Huang Quan, we're set!"

Stelle: "I declare, Shajin is about to be cut down!"

Stelle: "I'm telling you to transfer 100 million credits to me right now, so I can talk Madam Huanquan out of this!"

Stelle: "Otherwise, you'll learn just how cruel Huang Quan's methods are... Hehehe!"

March 7th: "Wow, what's this, taking advantage of chaos?"

March 7th: "I think you're more suited to join Dangfan Sect than Shajin!"

Shajin: "Cut away, it's just my video self getting cut—has nothing to do with me."

Funingna: "Hehe, I'm actually curious to see how Huang Quan cuts Shajin!"

Funingna: "After all, Huang Quan hasn't even drawn her blade yet!"

Hu Tao: "Not quite."

Hu Tao: "She drew her blade before, against that Duke of the Underworld!"

Hu Tao: "Too bad the video didn't show Huang Quan drawing her blade."

Hu Tao: "By the way, will they not show it this time either?"

Miss Sushang: "Surely not?"

Miss Sushang: "If they don't show it now, we've just watched nothing!"

Guinaifen: "Tsk tsk tsk, never thought a commoner like me would witness a Ling's strike!"

Guinaifen: "If Huang Quan really draws her blade, I'll be staring with all my eyes!"

Guinaifen: "This might be the only chance in my life to see a Ling draw their blade!"

Amber: "Wow, that'll be a huge spectacle—I'm already looking forward to it!"

Shajin: "......"

Shajin: "What?"

Shajin: "You all want to see me cut down, right?"

Silver Wolf: "Don't flatter yourself."

Silver Wolf: "Who gets cut doesn't matter!"

Silver Wolf: "Everyone just wants to see Huang Quan draw her blade."

Silver Wolf: "You're merely the unlucky one who might be the target."

Stelle: "Exactly—we just want to see how Huang Quan strikes."

Stelle: "Seeing you cut down is just a side effect."

Truth Doctor: "Ha, gambler."

Truth Doctor: "You're the first to perform being cut on stage."

Topaz: "Too bad I'm not there—if I were, I'd definitely cheer and clap for your performance!"

Shajin: "Ha, funny—you're all so funny!"

Shajin: "Alright then, let's see if I'll get cut."

Shajin: "And whether I'll survive that one slash."

The video continues.

【Back here again.】

【Shajin actually chose such a conspicuous place...】

【This guy's going overboard—does he really think he's a big star?】

Upon arriving at the Klaok Film Park entrance,

March 7th couldn't help but complain.

【Empty?】

【The hounds drove off the tourists earlier, and now they're gone too...】

【Everyone, keep your eyes sharp.】

【The opponent is clearly prepared.】

Himeko glanced around,

and warned the group.

Then,

they began walking along the path,

heading deeper into the film park.

【Ladies and gentlemen, dream-chasers, tycoons, clockmakers, and honored guests of the family—】

【—and the famed unnamed passenger of the Stelle Express!】

【Welcome to the Interstellar Peace Corporation's stage!】

As the group walked,

they heard Shajin's broadcast voice.

The group paid no attention,

Keep walking forward.

【It's quite a late arrival, everyone from the Stellar Express, and you over here... an uninvited guest.】

The group reached the foot of the stage,

and heard Shajin's voice again. 【We've come as agreed, Mr. Shajin.】

【According to etiquette, you should have appeared by now.】

Himeko said loudly.

【I certainly will.】

【But before that, I'd like to properly introduce tonight's main character....】

【Please welcome—Young Lady Star Core!】

Shajin suddenly turned the spotlight on Xiang Xing.

【Mom, I'm on TV!!】

Xiang Xing cried out excitedly.

【Uh....】

March 7th looked at Xiang Xing's reaction and felt speechless.

【Allow me to remind you, this stage and Xiang Xing's identity have nothing to do with capturing the real killer.】

Welt raised an eyebrow,

and said directly.

【No, it does relate, of course it does.】

【Why else would I go to such lengths to earn your trust and invite you all here?】

【Because she is the only eyewitness to all three murders—the perfect person to prove that claims of no casualties in the dream are empty words!】

Shajin explained.

【Three murders?】

Himeko looked puzzled.

【Yes, madam, the third murder is about to happen.】

【Right here, in Klauck Film Park........】

【A truly grand death.】

【You, you, you, and you......】

【Everyone will die—and it's all because of you, Young Lady Star Core....】

【.... You will become death itself here.】

Shajin's words turned toward Xiang Xing.
