“…”

Standing in front of the gate, looking at the corpses all over the ground and Fang Zheng in front of him, Kurogane Ikki's face turned ashen.

Beside him, Kurogane Shushizuku and Stella were staring at him anxiously, waiting for his decision.

After a long moment, Kurogane Ikki asked in a low voice.

"Is there no other way?"

“Hehehe.”

Hearing Kurogane Ikki's question, Fang Zheng sneered.

"Well, considering your stupidity and ignorance, I will give you a political lesson."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his sword and pointed it at the Black Iron tribe members lying on the ground.

"Watch out, Kurogane Ikki. These guys are all vested interests. They are in cahoots with the Unified Enterprises Chaebols. They are willing to attack the Seimei Generation for the sake of their own comfortable lives. Moreover, they deliberately set the Bladebreakers against the Seimei Generation in order to provoke conflicts and contradictions within the Seimei Generation so that the Unified Enterprises Chaebols can smoothly control the Seimei Generation. These people gain power and status by selling out their compatriots and begging for mercy from the Unified Enterprises Chaebols. They deserve to die. Well... In fact, these corpses will be hung on street lamps in a while, so that others can have a good look at the final fate of these guys. And you..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced coldly at Kurogane Ikki.

"To be honest, whether you stand in the way or not, the outcome will not change. The only difference is whether I kill you and then hang your father, or hang your father directly. As the ruling family of the Felling Blade, the Black Iron Family cannot escape the blame for the situation developing to this point. In other words, this is the price you must pay."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed to the Gaoting compound beside him with a sneer.

"Look, such a magnificent house, such a high status, so much wealth, you don't really think that all this is without any cost. In fact, as long as the Star Vein is in power for generations, the Black Iron Family will be liquidated. Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, it will be useless. The Black Iron Family and the Bladebreakers have gained benefits by selling out their compatriots. Now they want to surrender and save their lives to keep their wealth and glory? What a dream, this is class struggle. A great man said it well, there is no compromise and no room for neutrality in class struggle. For example, if you swim in a big river and never go to the shore, and neither climb up one side nor the other, you will eventually be drowned. And the Black Iron Family is about to be drowned now."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kurogane Ikki bit his lips so hard that they almost bled.

"For Stella's sake, I'll give you one last reminder. If you stop now, you and Kurogane Shuzuku can still be considered as defectors, but if you continue to struggle desperately, you'll end up like these guys..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stepped on one of the corpses.

"Completely forgotten, completely dead, buried with the Black Iron Family."

“…”

Ikki Kurogane still held the sword tightly and said nothing, but at this moment, his sister suddenly walked in front of Ikki Kurogane.

"Shizuku?"

Looking at his sister, Kurogane Ikki was stunned for a moment, but Kurogane Shushizuku turned her head and whispered.

"I'm so sorry, Brother-sama."

As the words fell, the next moment Kurogane Jushizuku suddenly turned around and stabbed Kurogane Ikki in the chest with a sword. Kurogane Ikki obviously did not expect that his sister would actually attack him. He did not even have time to resist. He just stared with his eyes wide open, and then collapsed to the ground. In the blink of an eye, he turned into an ice sculpture.

"Shizuku? What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Stella was shocked, while Kurogane Jushizuku spoke silently.

"I have frozen my elder brother. Take him away from here immediately. The affairs of the Kurotsuchi family have nothing to do with him. After all, my father has severed the father-son relationship with him."

Oh, yes, I forgot about this.

After hearing what Kurogane Jushizuku said, Fang Zheng patted his head. He had forgotten that Kurogane Ikki seemed to have been kicked out of the house a long time ago...

So what is he trying to achieve by standing in front of me?

"What about you?"

"As the next head of the Kurotsuchi family, I have things I need to do."

Kurogane Jushizuku shook her head and spoke, while Stella hesitated for a moment and then nodded. She then looked at Fang Zheng helplessly, made a face at him, and then left angrily with Kurogane Ikki, who was frozen into a popsicle, spreading her flaming wings.

After Stella left, Fang Zheng looked at Kurogane Shuzuku, who hesitated for a moment, then knelt on the ground, put her hands on the ground, and then lowered her head.

Standard earthen seat.

"Let me make it clear in advance, if you think an apology is enough to solve the problem, then we have nothing to discuss."

No way, no one really thinks that a simple sentence like "轰豆泥私密马三" can solve the problem.

However, Kurogane Jushizuku didn't care about Fang Zheng's sarcasm. She just lowered her head and spoke word by word.

"I deeply apologize for everything the Black Iron Clan has done. I am truly sorry. Therefore, as the next head of the Black Iron Clan, I am willing to accept all punishments and completely disband the Black Iron Clan."

“Oh…”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Kurogane Jushizuku. Indeed, an apology cannot solve all problems, but the most important thing about Kurogane Jushizuku's approach is to show her attitude. Moreover, with her status, she does have the ability to do so. It's just...

"That's just the opinion of the next head of the family. What does the current head of the family say?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his head and stared at the serious-looking middle-aged man standing behind Kurogane Jushizuku - he was the current head of the Kurogane family and the leader of the Swordbreakers' management organization, Kurogane Yan.

At the same time, Kurogane Jushizuku had stood up, lowered her head and silently retreated to the side. She had made her position clear with her actions.

The latter put his hands in his sleeves and stared at Fang Zheng coldly, while Fang Zheng also carried a big sword and stared at him with a mocking smile.

"I thought you would run away like a rat, but now it seems that you still have some backbone. I think you will not be like these two juniors who are confused about the current situation. From the moment the Kurogane family defected to the unified corporate chaebol, your current fate..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his sword and circled in front of the corpse next to him.

“…It’s already destined.”

"yes……"

Hei Tieyan closed his eyes tightly and sighed softly.

"So, do you want to surrender voluntarily? Or do you want me to break your limbs and then take you away? Anyway, there is only one ending for you, and I think you know it very well."

"Public executions should not be allowed by law."

"That's true, but unfortunately, the Star Pulse Generation believes that the current laws need to be changed, and we also have the power to revise the laws."

"…Do you know what consequences this will bring?"

"It's nothing more than a further conflict between the Star Vein Generation and ordinary humans, but this kind of thing should have been discovered and resolved earlier. If you idiots hadn't been trying to cover up and suppress the Star Vein Generation to please ordinary people all day long, things wouldn't have come to this point. Selling out your compatriots to save yourself has a price."

“…”

Heitie Yan sighed silently.

"I just want to protect the Kurotetsu family."

"Yes, that's right, so the Kurogane family is finished. From today on, there is no Kurogane family anymore... Congratulations, your wish has failed. Okay, let's go, uncle."

After saying this, Fang Zheng didn't even look at Heitieyan, and turned away, as if he wasn't worried at all that he might run away. Heitieyan was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and silently followed Fang Zheng out of the courtyard.

Watching her father's figure going away, Kurogane Jushizuku said nothing. In fact, she didn't know what to say. Kurogane Jushizuku was very smart, so she naturally understood what Fang Zheng meant - the Kurogane family was the representative of the Swordbreakers, and what Fang Zheng wanted to do was to completely crush the pride of the Swordbreakers. When the head of the Kurogane family, who was the representative, was executed in public, the history, self-esteem, and everything that the Swordbreakers were proud of would completely disappear.

Just like Louis XVI who was taken to the guillotine during the French Revolution.

The royal family, once high and mighty, is no longer an object of awe.

The same is true for the sword cutter.

From then on, they could no longer act like "I am nobler than you" in front of the Xingmai generation.

And Fang Zheng’s speed is not slow either.

The very next day, all the top executives of the integrated corporate chaebol, including Kurotsuchi Yan, were executed in public. Their bodies were hung on street lamps and blown away by the wind.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.

The Xingmai generation applauded this, they had long hated these bastards. But ordinary people were disturbed by this cruel act. After all, as Hei Tieyan said, the laws of modern society have long prohibited public executions. Fang Zheng's behavior of not only publicly executing people but also hanging them on street lamps and whipping their corpses after death was seen by many as the behavior of terrorists and antisocial people.

For a time, public opinion changed, from sympathy for the Xingmai Generation to criticism of their cruel methods. The general idea was "Although the Xingmai Generation suffered a lot, is it too cruel to deal with those people in this way?"...ah, this familiar argument, Fang Zhengli was too lazy to pay attention to it.

Not only that, he then announced something that shocked the whole world.

That is, from now on, the entire Academy City will be completely independent and will become an independent country belonging to the Star Vein Generation!

I have to say, everyone was shocked when they learned about this.
