The mayor's eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if he were lost in deep memories:
"Their heads are really tough. So many people took turns hitting them, and they still weren't killed even after everyone was exhausted."
"In the end, I had to personally get on the boat and press their heads firmly underwater before they finally sank completely."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mutou's eyes widened in fury, tears streamed down his face, his lips trembled with extreme anger, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
He knew it!
He knew it was the town mayor who did it!
The parents' deaths were neither accidental nor could they have been suicides!
The town mayor looked at the furious Zhao Mutou, and continued with a hint of pity:
"As they were about to die, they used their last strength to desperately surface and beg me to spare their son!"
"Hahaha, cough cough—"
"This is ridiculous! How could I possibly do what they want? I..."
"Pfft!"
A muffled thud brought the mayor's words to an abrupt halt.
The dagger in Zhao Mutou's hand had already plunged completely into the town mayor's chest.
Immediately afterward, he swiftly pulled out the dagger without hesitation, and then, with lightning speed, stabbed it back in forcefully.
"puff!"
The mayor's body trembled slightly from the immense force.
Zhao Mutou was as fierce and brutal as a wild beast that had been provoked.
one time.
Two times.
Three times.
......
Zhao Mutou's hands were like a constantly running machine, repeatedly thrusting the dagger in and out.
Even though the mayor had already stopped breathing, he still couldn't quell the hatred in his heart.
Li Yu witnessed everything but did not step forward to stop him. Instead, she stood aside and waited quietly, letting Zhao Mutou vent his anger.
Zhao Mutou's hands gradually stopped moving only when he had exhausted his last bit of strength.
The bright red dagger was still stuck in the mayor's corpse. Zhao Mutou was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
He slowly straightened up, looked at the dead mayor, and murmured in a hoarse voice:
"Father, Mother, I have finally avenged you..."
Two streams of hot tears slid down his cheeks, which were flushed red with extreme grief and indignation.
Zhao Mutou's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze reflecting both the exhilaration of killing his enemy and a deep sorrow.
After witnessing Zhao Mutou's revenge, Li Yu slowly walked forward, forcefully pulled out the dagger from the mayor's chest, and gently wiped it with a tablecloth.
The cyclone in his abdomen was rapidly absorbing the energy left by the mayor's death.
Zhao Mutou looked at Li Yu standing beside him.
At this moment, Li Yu's figure was incredibly tall in his heart, and his eyes gradually changed from empty to firm.
"Brother Li Yu... thank you."
Before he finished speaking, he knelt down again without hesitation, just to express his deepest gratitude to Li Yu.
Although his parents had taught him that a man should not kneel down easily.
But faced with Li Yu's kindness, he still willingly knelt down.
After absorbing the surrounding energy, Li Yu put away the dagger she had already wiped clean, and then gently patted Zhao Mutou on the shoulder:
"Since you have chosen to take revenge yourself, it means you have chosen the most difficult path. I hope you can continue on this path."
After saying that, Li Yu was about to turn around and leave when she noticed that there was still someone else in the office.
He looked down and saw that the mayor's assistant was already terrified, clutching his head tightly with both hands, lying motionless on the cold ground.
He didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that any careless move he made would cause misunderstanding or dissatisfaction from Li Yu and the others.
At this moment, Ma Yuanbai, who had been silent all along, suddenly walked over and whispered to Li Yu:
"Since the mayor is already dead, why don't we just raid his house?"
He then added:
"I have already sent people to completely seal off the town, and I have also sent out a perception team to strictly monitor everyone's movements."
"So in a short period of time, no one will be able to escape and reveal any information. We can stay here for a few days without any problem."
"Confiscate property?" Li Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "That's a good word."
Then he made a decision without hesitation:
"Let's go, let's raid their house."
After speaking, Li Yu turned her head, her gaze calm as she looked at her assistant who was still lying on the ground trembling, and said:
"Alright, stop lying down and stand up now."
When the assistant heard Li Yu call him, he hurriedly raised his hands, not daring to lift his head, and kept begging for mercy:
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
Li Yu pointed the crossbow at his assistant and said calmly:
"Now take us to the mayor's house, you won't refuse, right?"
When the assistant saw Li Yu's repeating crossbow aimed at him, he trembled. That was a weapon capable of wiping out the guard team in an instant.
He hurriedly stood up, trembling, and raised his hands, repeatedly saying:
"I know where the mayor lives! I'll take you there right now!"
The assistant's gaze involuntarily drifted to the lifeless mayor beside him, and a surge of fear instantly overwhelmed him.
At this moment, his brain was like a high-speed machine, spinning wildly.
In just a few seconds, all sorts of thoughts and solutions flashed through my mind, all in an effort to survive this terrible situation.
Just as he cautiously followed Li Yu out of the office, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
The assistant's eyes lit up instantly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his previously dull face. He thought to himself:
'Perhaps this method really can save my life!'
As soon as Li Yu stepped out of the office, she found a large group of residents had gathered outside.
Surprisingly, they did not scatter in the face of the sudden and tragic deaths of the guards, nor did they show any fear on their faces, as if they knew they were safe.
As soon as all the residents saw Li Yu walk out, her assistant behind her knew the time had come.
He immediately stepped forward, stood beside Li Yu, and shouted loudly to all the townspeople:
"The town mayor has been executed on the spot for the brutal murder of Zhao Mutou's parents!"
"All those involved in this case have been killed!"
The assistant's voice echoed through the streets, clearly reaching the ears of every resident.
Immediately afterwards, the assistant continued to shout:
"A life for a life! This is the law of nature! I hope everyone can learn from this and never make the same mistake again!"
After he finished speaking, he nervously observed the reactions of the people around him, silently praying that his plan would work.
"The mayor is dead?" a resident asked in confusion.
"Didn't you see that all of the mayor's lackeys outside are dead?" one of them said, pointing to the guards by the roadside.
"No wonder......"
When the residents learned of the mayor's death, not a single person showed the slightest sympathy or sadness; it seemed that no one cared whether the mayor lived or died.
