Chapter 495

Blood splattered, covering the ground.

Zhao Xian paused, cold sweat streaming down his face as he looked to his side.

A palm-sized paper puppet suddenly drifted down from where the Senior Master was sitting.

"The Senior Master is a ghost?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Bang!"

Su Kang finally finished the third kowtow, his ecstasy uncontainable, "Su Yang, you lost!"

Looking at his distorted facial features, Su Yang sat in the main seat unhurriedly and said slowly, "No, you lost."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Senior Master must have cast a vote in favor. Now that the person is dead, the vote count becomes three to three, and the tie result naturally doesn't count."

"You kowtowed quite loudly, but I'm sorry... you were one step too late."

Speaking of this, Su Yang curled his lips into a mocking smile.

Seeing that nothing happened, Su Kang retreated two steps in a daze.

"Impossible, the result is set. Even if the person is dead, it shouldn't change the facts!"

"Actually, you were wrong from the beginning. You underestimated the upper limit of the talent and underestimated the scope of the rules."

"As a player, one must follow the principle of fairness from beginning to end."

"Those who attempt to exploit loopholes and change the rules have never had a good ending so far."

"If you want to deceive a 'God', you must have the ability to do so."

"A mere 'paper puppet' is far from enough," Su Yang said.

Seeing his long-planned scheme shatter like a dream, Su Kang was furious.

Su Yang added at this time, "Besides, the 'paper puppet' in your hand is not a person, just a puppet without thoughts or consciousness."

"Even if I didn't fire this shot, you wouldn't have been able to take away what belongs to me."

"Taking a step back, even if you had snatched my things by trickery, as a paper puppet, you wouldn't have the qualifications to inherit them."

"I didn't come here for anything else today, only to settle scores!"

After saying that, Su Yang raised his gun and aimed at Zi Huai, lifting his eyelids slightly: "Starting with you!"

Zi Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Gang Leader, it has nothing to do with me, I was just following orders!"

"Whose orders? Su Kang... or the Warlord Leader?" Su Yang said with a half-smile.

"This..." Zi Huai was speechless.

Su Yang stood up and walked behind him, resting his hands on his shoulders, kneading them as he said, "From the first time you saw me, the lies haven't stopped."

"The Qianshou Hall is known as the number one intelligence agency of the Six Harmonies Association, yet I haven't received a single piece of information about the enemy in this past month."

"Even from the first day I arrived, you deliberately withheld information, allowing people from the Donghai Hall to break into our territory openly."

"And the subsequent Nanyang Street interception incident; in my view, the Qianshou Hall is dispensable, no different from a decoration."

"You said you saw Su Kang's back on the street and luckily saved the Warlord Leader's life, transforming yourself into his guest."

"Full of lies; you didn't see his back at all, but the person himself, right?"

Zi Huai's expression changed drastically, "Gang Leader, let me explain..."

"What use is an intelligence organization with zero utility?" Su Yang asked.

Speaking of this, he increased his strength slightly; Zi Huai looked pained but didn't dare to make a sound.

"What I can't accept most is betrayal. What's the use of keeping someone who eats inside and out?"

"May I ask Hall Master Zi, you must have dealt with no fewer than ten traitors in these twenty years, right?"

"If I remember correctly, Hall Master Feng helped you quite a bit. Many of those guys with slave brands on their faces were originally from the Qianshou Hall."

"So..."

Su Yang whispered in his ear, "In consideration of your hard work over the years, I'll give you a quick end!"

Without waiting for Zi Huai to speak, he aimed the muzzle directly at the back of his head and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

After the gunshot, Zi Huai slumped onto the table and died on the spot.

The eyelids of the Hall Masters twitched, their expressions remained normal, but a sense of sadness emerged in their hearts.

After all, Zi Huai was also a partner who had shared joys and sorrows with them.

Just as Su Yang said, even if there was no merit, there was hard work over these twenty years.

But no matter what, traitors would never be tolerated!

After settling the first one, Su Yang looked at Su Kang, "Are you satisfied with this result?"

"What are you trying to express?" Su Kang asked in a deep voice.

"For hegemony, one should honestly develop their own power, instead of being treacherous and thinking about how to steal the fruits of others' labor."

"Your game strategy was wrong from the beginning. Even if you were going to be stubborn, you shouldn't have targeted me," Su Yang said indifferently.

"Do whatever you want, why waste so many words?"

"Don't be impatient. Since you're here, wouldn't it be rude of me as the host not to invite you to watch a good show?" Su Yang smiled slightly.

Then he looked at the silent Lei Cheng and said, "Hall Master Lei, am I right?"

Lei Cheng's body trembled, and cold sweat couldn't stop flowing.

"I have never betrayed you; I was just loyal to my own heart!"

"What a 'loyal heart'!" Su Yang nodded secretly and said, "Eating the food of the current dynasty while thinking of the previous one, what is the difference in essence from betrayal?"

"Besides, from now on, warlords will become history, and there is no need for the Zhongyi Hall to exist."

"I'll give you two choices now: either I do it, or you commit suicide."

"Slap!"

Su Yang slapped the pistol in front of him.

Lei Cheng's heart also shook; he scanned the cold-eyed Hall Masters and felt dead inside.

"In consideration of your honesty over the years, I will have someone find you a burial site with good Fengshui after you die; consider it the last bit of decency I give you."

"You know very well that if you stand on the wrong side, you must accept the consequences!"

Lei Cheng tremblingly picked up the gun, aimed it at his temple, closed his eyes, and shivered, "Lei has no shame before heaven and earth, no shame in his heart. Su Kang is my benefactor; without him, there would be no family for me."

"My parents are healthy, my children are all here; Lei has no regrets in this life."

"At the moment of death, Lei has one unfeeling request: I hope you all can spare my family after I die. Misfortune should not reach the wife and children."

After speaking, he opened his eyes and looked up at the sky powerlessly, but all he saw was green.

"Every man has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the world!"

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, and he died!

Two Hall Masters of the Zhongyi Hall and Qianshou Hall both died today.

Hearing that last heartfelt remark, Zhao Xian couldn't bear to look and let out a long sigh.

Among all living beings, isn't he also just an 'ordinary man'?

Sometimes, choice is more important than effort.

Lei Cheng's loyalty wasn't wrong, but once the team was wrong, what was lost wasn't just as simple as gold and silver.

Su Yang waved his hand and ordered, "Bury them properly, send a pension and obituary to their families, and say that the two died on the battlefield."

Zhou Xiaoshi was stunned, then took the order, "Yes!"

Su Yang looked at Su Kang and said, "After watching for so long, are you still unwilling to show your true face?"

"Su Yang, I look forward to the moment of our decisive battle," Su Kang said.

"Soon, you and I will have to settle things sooner or later."

After speaking, Su Yang pulled the trigger directly.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a paper puppet drifted down slowly.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, "Su Kang is also a ghost?!"

Su Yang put away the gun and said loudly, "All Hall Masters, listen to my orders!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Xian and the others stood up in unison.

Su Yang's gaze fell on the Shadow Hall Master, retracted it after a moment, and continued, "Jinshan City is our root! It is also our city."

"How can we allow outsiders to violate our land?"

"Although the Six Harmonies Association is not big, it has a responsibility for its rise and fall. At present, only we can save the people from fire and water!"

"The Warlord Leader has been defeated and fled; expelling the warlords starts today!"

"Send troops..."

"Northern Expedition!"
