Chapter 89 Betrayal by All
Hua Jingxin decisively pointed and pressed the emergency button. The next second, the three shadows all rolled on the ground, clutching their headaches.
This is the second method of control besides poison manipulation. Shadow Two didn't know it until he died; a chip had been implanted in the brains of all four of them.
Once the patriarch activates this chip, they will immediately experience a living hell. Although it is not a slave ring, the effect is similar. However, the chip is more discreet, and even the person who has the chip implanted will not notice it.
"You four, hurry up and kill him! Since you're still useful to me, I'll delay giving you the antidote by five days this time, so you'll understand the consequences of betrayal," Hua Jingxin said sternly.
"Four? Heh, Patriarch, your eyesight is really not good enough. There are clearly only three." Bo Yiyan winked at him while looking at "Shadow Two" standing to the side.
The latter rolled his eyes at him, casually unleashing his ice-type ability to freeze Hua Jingxin's limbs, leaving only one hand, which he could move freely.
"Shadow Two! How dare you betray me? Don't you want to marry Huizi anymore?" Hua Jingxin asked, his eyes wide.
"Hehe, sorry, I already have a wife and children. You can have that Miss Huizi for yourself." Xiaobai said coldly.
"No, you are not Shadow Two! Each Shadow has a special chip implanted in its head. As long as I press the switch, the bio-battery in the chip will release a strong bio-current, making you wish you were dead."
"The three of them are in excruciating pain, but you're still standing here perfectly fine. Who are you?" Hua Jingxin asked in horror.
"Who am I? I heard you've been looking for me all over the world, so I've come to you of my own accord." Xiao Bai took off his mask, revealing his handsome and aloof face.
"Bai, Bai...you're that S-class escaped slave?" Hua Jingxin stammered.
"Patriarch Hua Jing, did you miss Speaker Long Ji's inaugural address on the StarNet tonight?"
Just half an hour ago, slavery on Silverwing Star was completely abolished.
"Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you, we two, the escaped slaves you mentioned, also contributed a little something," Xiaobai said sarcastically.
Hua Jingxin was now completely panicked. He quickly said to the three figures lying on the ground, rolling around with their heads in their hands:
“I can use my mental power to temporarily relieve your pain. As long as you hold them off for five minutes, the family suicide squad will arrive. Once I am safe, I can forgive your betrayal this time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobai took out a hammer and gently tapped his frozen left hand, which shattered into pieces.
Blood was spilled onto the carpet along with the ice, looking both eerie and bloody.
Hua Jingxin finally couldn't help but scream "Ahhh!"
Although he felt no pain when his frozen limbs were shattered, the scene of having his hand smashed in front of him was extremely devastating.
"Use your only movable hand to completely destroy the control chip in their brains, or I won't mind letting you witness your limbs turn to dust before you die," Xiaobai said calmly.
"I'll do whatever you say, please spare me!"
Lord Bai, our Hua Jing family did not intentionally target you. We simply spent money to buy slaves to mine.
The culprit is the authorities; we lost two branches because of it. We're all victims, don't you agree?
Hua Jingxin was in tears, but he still didn't forget to exonerate himself.
"Enough with the nonsense, destroy the chip first," Xiaobai said.
"Alright, alright!" Hua Jingxin immediately deactivated the emergency measures, and the three shadows temporarily stopped suffering, finally having the strength to get up from the ground.
All three were still shaken. They had thought that as long as they could get rid of the poison, they could escape Hua Jingxin's control. They never expected that he would add a double layer of protection to their bodies.
Poor Shadow Two betrayed the three of them for him, yet he never knew until his death that the patriarch had never trusted him and had only used him to monitor the three of them.
Just as the three of them caught their breath, they saw the study door being pushed open, and a tall, slender figure walked in.
"Ah Zhi, you're back! That's great! Quickly help your father kill these two runaway slaves, they've ruined our Hua Jing family!" Hua Jingxin shouted to the newcomer.
Xiao Bai and Bo Yiyan were both quite surprised to see who had arrived.
"Mu Ye, you're actually Hua Jingxin's son? The legendary Hua Jing family's only S-rank combatant, Hua Jingzhi?" Bo Yiyan said.
"That's right, but don't worry, I'm not here to be your enemy."
On the contrary, I should thank you for helping me get rid of this scum. After all, as his biological son, patricide is an ominous act, and I couldn't very well kill him myself." Mu Ye nodded.
“Ah Zhi, what nonsense are you talking about? Over the years, I have spent a lot of resources on you, nurturing you, caring for you, and giving you the best life. How could you turn around and collude with runaway slaves to deal with your own father?” Hua Jingxin said with great pain.
"Patriarch, have you forgotten how my mother died?" Mu Ye looked at him, his eyes cold.
"Your mother? She is your disgrace. I got rid of her early on in order to wash away the only stain on you."
As the future heir to the family head, you should have forgotten that woman completely long ago, instead of mentioning her in front of outsiders. Hua Jingxin's face showed no nostalgia, only annoyance and contempt.
"Heh, shame? My mother has never done anything wrong in her life, what is there to be ashamed of?"
You have so many women, yet back then you still raped Tao Zhen, the maid who worked in your mansion, despite her strong resistance.
Later, you found someone new, and she couldn't tolerate Tao Zhen, which gave her the opportunity to resign and leave.
A maid who has resigned has naturally no connection with you, the high and mighty head of the Hua Jing family.
After my mother found out she was pregnant, she didn't want to keep me, this bastard child, but she didn't have the money to have an abortion, so she could only let me live on in her womb.
Later, as we lived together day by day, she slowly fell in love with me, and then she decided to give birth to me by herself and raise me alone.
Unfortunately, my good fortune didn't last long. When I was five years old, I awakened my superpower, which was at level A. And this news was accidentally leaked, and you found out about it.
The Hua Jing family hasn't produced a genius like me in a long time, and it's laughable that I was proud of my talent back then.
I thought I could use this talent to join the hunting party and ease my mother's burden.
I never expected you to come here with your men, kill her, and then stage a fake accident where she fell from a building while cleaning the hotel.
You think I'm a five-year-old child who's easy to fool? You think that as long as you take me back to your family and provide me with good food and clothing, I'll slowly forget the poor and destitute mother I once had.
Unfortunately, you don't know that I have a particularly good memory. I remember clearly that my mother took half a day off that day.
Because she promised me that she would pick me up early when I got out of kindergarten and accompany me to the mall to buy me a gift—that day was my fifth birthday.
Therefore, it is impossible for her to have fallen from the building at 5:15 pm while sweeping.
From that moment on, I knew that my mother had been murdered.
Who would want to harm a regular hotel waitress like her?
With just a little thought, the answer becomes obvious.
It was you who killed her and staged the scene in order to take me away from her.
But I know that with my abilities as a five-year-old, if I were to tell this story, you might not even let me live to grow up.
So I kept quiet and pretended I knew nothing.
It wasn't until I was fifteen and broke through to S-rank that I began to plan my revenge.
I noticed four of your shadows in the yard. If I don't kill you with one blow, I won't have a second chance.
So I took the opportunity to sneak out, hoping to find some help to deal with you.
Fortunately, I met Mr. Bai and Dr. Bo, so I followed them into the zombie hunting grounds and developed a good relationship with them.
Later they came to Silvermoon City, and I naturally followed, discovering their deal with the three shadows.
I was so excited. I knew that the chance for revenge that I had been waiting for for twelve long years had finally arrived.
My dearest father, you no longer need to wait for your family's suicide squad to save you. I met them at the gate of the courtyard earlier, and I told them that I had accidentally triggered the alarm that summoned them. I specifically instructed them to tell them to go back and rest.
"Father, your time to die has come. No one can save your old life." Mu Ye smiled coldly, while Hua Jingxin was on the verge of madness.
"Ah Zhi, I am your father. How can you turn against me for the sake of a maid? For so many years, I have been dedicated to grooming you to be the next head of the family. How can you be so short-sighted?"
“Father, you’ve slept with at least dozens of women, so naturally you wouldn’t care about the life or death of a maid.”
But to me, she is my only family in this world!
And you, from beginning to end, never mentioned her name, only referring to her as 'a maid,' and you may have even forgotten that her name is Tao Zhen.
You don't even know that my mother named me Tao Muye. Muye's tone was full of sorrow.
"Mu Ye, please save me! If you save me, I will immediately pass the position of family head to you," Hua Jingxin pleaded.
“Unfortunately, I don’t care about this position of family head at all,” Mu Ye said coldly.
“Mr. Bai, you can get started now. By the way, there’s a filing cabinet over there with a seal inside. Actually, it’s a spatial key that contains a lot of treasures. You can take it as payment.” Mu Ye pointed to the filing cabinet next to Hua Jingxin’s bookcase.
Without hesitation, Bo opened the cabinet door, took out a metal stamp from inside, and put it away.
Xiao Bai froze Hua Jingxin, giving him no chance to speak or control the three shadows, and shattered him into dust.
The three shadows led Xiaobai and the other two away. Mu Ye then used fire magic to set fire to Hua Jingxin's study, ending his sinful life.
