Chapter 842: PAID

Childhood Friend of the ZenithWords: 1542

“Ughhh…!!!”

A wretched scream echoed from the man collapsed on the ground.

Clutching his shattered jaw, he crawled along the floor in a pitiful state.

Blood and saliva poured down from his crushed jaw, and his bloodshot eyes showed the sheer agony he was enduring.

And then.

“What the hell is this bastard even saying?”

Crunch-!

“Guhh…!”

I snarled as I stomped on the head of the crawling man.

“Keep your nonsense to yourself, seriously.”

“Grrr…”

“If you’re going to open your mouth, use it to talk, not spew nonsense. Don’t you agree?”

The trembling was palpable.

Was he trying to get up?

It wasn’t even remotely amusing.

Crack!

“Gaaaaahhhh---!!!”

Kicking his shin, I watched as his leg bent at an unnatural angle.

He had tried to reinforce himself with Qi just before the impact, as expected of a deputy captain.

If he hadn’t, I might have torn the leg clean off.

At least he had some instincts left.

‘What a shame.’

I hadn’t intended to stop at breaking it. Should I just rip it off entirely?

The thought crossed my mind for a moment, but I held back.

“Guh… gurgle…”

The man groaned pitifully.

I glanced down at him and then raised my head.

And spoke.

“Stop.”

---!!

The people who had been ready to rush at me froze mid-step.

Before I realized it, the area was surrounded by members of the Star Dragon Division.

Judging by their stances, they looked ready to charge at any moment…

“Don’t take a single step forward. Can’t you see I’m having a conversation right now?”
