Volume 1: I Have a Dream Chapter 24: Death is So Near (Part 2)

  Just by the tone, I knew it was Peter who had arrived without turning my head. A hint of worry crept onto my mind: when did he arrive? Just now, I had been paying attention to the surrounding movements and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.

  "Are you in cahoots with each other?" Tang Chao asked cautiously.

  "A gang?" Peter raised his blond hair and glanced at me with disdain.

  I hastily bowed and said: "Fang Cheng has seen the master."

  Tang Chao fell silent, and I could guess what he was thinking. At first, when he saw that it was me who had stolen the information, he let out a sigh of relief, because at most I was doing it for revenge, which had nothing to do with politics. To put it simply, "our grudge is very simple". Now, seeing Peter, with whom he was discussing business, his mind couldn't help but turn more wheels.

  He walked past me and went straight to Tang Chao, "What should I call you? Little Tang? Young Master Tang? Big Young Master Tang? Or Lord Tang?"

  I was a bit surprised, his tone had a sharp and bitter taste, the two of them just met today, why so much resentment.

  Lord Peter was silent at the time, but gradually I guessed the reason from their conversation. It turned out that when Tang Chao took out the contract earlier, Lord Peter deliberately dragged on to delay the signing of the agreement in order to cooperate with my request.

  Tang Chaoyue was ridiculed by several sentences of cold words.

  But in my opinion, Tang Chao doesn't seem like the kind of person who would speak carelessly just because a deal didn't go through. I guess Peter's psychological endurance is too weak.

  "Give me the bracelet." Peter suddenly shouted at me loudly, I don't know what the two of them were arguing about.

  Without a moment's hesitation, I respectfully handed over the bracelet, and Peter took it in his hand to examine it carefully, a sly smile spreading from the corner of his mouth. "Perfectly intact."

  I secretly let out a sigh of relief, but just as I thought things were going to end smoothly, Piet suddenly shouted in a low voice, raised his hand and shot out three pale red air arrows, which swiftly flew towards Tang Chao's back.

  "Ah!!" The speed was really too fast, with my eyesight I only felt like blinking, and those three big men were holding their chests and fell into the pool of blood.

  Things happened too suddenly. When Tang Chao came to his senses and reached into his pocket, a pure white misty light had already covered his face.

  "Hmm, you think you're quite capable?" Piet's fingers slightly parted, and a pure white light burst out from his hand, like a huge net covering Tang Chao's face.

  Tang Chao's eyes, which had always been calm and composed, revealed a hint of terror. He covered his neck with both hands, as if he couldn't breathe.

  I just stood quietly by and watched, if I were to speak out and stop him now, Peter would definitely harbor resentment.

  Compared to Bi De, Lin Xuan's strength is higher by more than a notch. No wonder he's so arrogant. I estimate that even in the world of Soul Masters, at his age, he's extremely outstanding.

  "Haha, you're going to die, didn't expect that?" Peter sneered at Tang Chao, who was red in the face, and said with great satisfaction: "Don't you think it's unbelievable? At a young age, it's time to show off your skills, the imperial court is beckoning to you, sometimes thinking about the glorious days of becoming a superior person in the future, don't you always smile secretly?"

  Tang Chao struggled incessantly, his eyes bulging out, unable to utter a single word. Pietro burst into loud laughter and said: "Never thought death would be so close, did you? Dying so quietly, at the hands of someone as brainless as this young master? Heh heh, aren't you resentful? Or are you filled with regret?"

  "Can't think of anything to say? Hehe, you don't need to speak anymore."

  With a triumphant sneer, Peter's face turned serious, and with a light flick of his wrist, there was a crisp "crack" sound. Tang Chao's head slumped down powerlessly.

  "Hmm!"

  He let out a cold hum from his nostrils, shook his head and walked forward.

  I glanced at Tang Chao lightly and followed closely behind him.

  Life is actually more fragile than imagined, if Tang Chao hadn't met the narrow-minded Peter, he might have really achieved something in his career later on, unfortunately, he met the wrong person at the wrong time.

  He heard my footsteps close behind him, and he suddenly stopped, turned his back to me, raised his head to gaze at the moon with an extremely elegant demeanor, and asked in a cold voice: "You knew from the very beginning that the bracelet was on his body, didn't you?"

  Huh?

  My heart sank, Peter is a clever man, the hidden meaning of this remark is: since he already knew that the bracelet was not in the safe, why did he let him pretend to be a businessman and negotiate with Tang Chao, only to humiliate him?

  Thud! I knelt down without hesitation, knocking my head on the ground while wailing: "I had ulterior motives, I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."

  I crawled past on my knees, weeping, and this action undoubtedly satisfied Peter's vanity. He snorted coldly, turned his head to continue scolding, but just then a bright light suddenly flashed out from the dark alley, and the thin blade in my hand swept across his neck like a whip.

  This knife brought out the three major elements of speed, accuracy and ruthlessness to perfection. Without a single sound, Peter's blond-haired blue-eyed head shot up into the air, and the gushing blood splattered all over me.

  Killing, never needs to say more nonsense.

  Normally, the three of us wouldn't be able to kill him, but unfortunately, the hierarchical concept of the Soul Realm had been deeply ingrained in his mind. In this situation, he didn't think I would make a move at all.

  The huge skull rolled down, and that face full of terror, astonishment, and unwillingness was facing me.

  I smiled faintly and said as Peter had previously: "Death is indeed closer than you think!"

  As soon as Peter emerged from the darkness, I had already formed a murderous intent in my heart. The previous sentence of inquiry only strengthened my determination. For someone like him with such a narrow and arrogant temperament, my previous performance has made him extremely disgusted, and how he treats people he dislikes can be seen from Tang Chao's outcome.

  Don't kill him, and I will live a long life as his descendant.

  I took out Lin Muxian's bracelet from his arms, and I started to deal with the corpse. It wasn't very troublesome, just casually arranging it into a scene of mutual destruction would do.

  After finishing everything, I was about to leave.

  A flash of inspiration in his mind, Peter was a touring inspector and must have had many good things in his hands.

  After a search, I found a small black bag in his arms. After rummaging through it casually, I found that it was filled with some small stones. Although I didn't understand what was special about these small stones, I thought Peter wouldn't pick up trash and put it on himself.

  In addition to this, I also found two rings.

  In terms of color and texture, it's similar to Lin Muxian's bracelet, but Peter's is slightly better.

  It should be what they call a soul device!

  In the distance, the sound of a fire truck's siren gradually became clear. I stood up and looked around, making sure there was no mistake, then silently slipped away.

  Soon after, a gentle breeze blew through the alley, making a soft humming sound.

  Pete's body suddenly moved a little, and a cluster of white fluff that was extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye surged out of his body, slowly floating into the air.

  P.S: Hehe, I've been PSing a lot lately, and it's really effective! My new book is ranked second on the charts, woohoo!
