Free Web NovelChapter 447: Chapter 302: Killing the Enemy with My Own Hands (Part 2)
As his vision came into full focus, he saw Su Mo’s face clearly.
Su Mo grinned and said, "You’re awake."
Lucifer froze there, not yet reacting, when a heavy punch landed on his face, knocking him unconscious again.
After knocking out Lucifer, Su Mo picked him up and returned to the surface to join Chu Nanyi. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The battle continued, but the outcome was already without suspense.
The Black Tiger and White Tiger mercenaries were caught off guard, their morale unstable, and unable to reach their captain, they plunged into chaos from the start.
The Edge Mercenaries, however, came prepared and, fueled by the fire of revenge, quickly shattered the enemy into disarray.
Now, the fighting in the outer square was over, the ground littered with various metal scraps, numerous destroyed armored vehicles and stationary turrets burning in the flames, and enemy corpses everywhere.
At this moment, Su Mo’s communicator rang, and the mercenary responsible for aerial surveillance urgently reported, "Captain, a fleet of floating airships has been discovered in the northwest airspace, we’ve observed a double helix emblem on their bodies; they should be from Hegemony Company, heading your way!"
Su Mo muttered, "Must be people Mammon sent to fetch Lucifer..."
Chu Nanyi: "Captain, what do we do now?"
Su Mo: "Don’t get entangled in battle, everyone regroup and return to Edge Mansion."
...
"Splash—" A basin of cold water splashed on his face, jolting Lucifer from his unconsciousness.
Panic-stricken, he surveyed his surroundings and found himself locked in a sealed chamber.
Chu Nanyi coldly watched him from the side, while Su Mo was fiddling with a camera not far away.
There was no need to guess; this must be Edge Mansion. Lucifer, heart racing with confusion, stammered, "Su Mo, stay calm, if you dare do anything to me, my dad won’t let you off!"
Chu Nanyi sneered, "Give me a break! You’re locked up here and still dare to act so arrogant?"
"What did you say last time? You can’t stand anyone who looks better than you?"
"Well, I am better looking than you, and girls like me. If you don’t like it, tough! Here comes the punch!!!"
After saying that, he executed a 720-degree spinning Thomas kick that landed squarely on Lucifer’s face, leaving his nose crooked, his eyes askew, and front teeth flying.
Despite being covered in blood, Lucifer dared not say a word in anger. He knew there was no point arguing with Chu Nanyi, as he wasn’t the one in charge.
Swallowing his bloody spittle, he turned to Su Mo and tried to sound as placating as possible, "Su Mo, listen, there’s no need for things to escalate like this. Let’s reconcile, we still can! You can make any demand!"
"My dad is very rich! What do you want? Money? Blood codes? Blood circulation factor? Whatever you demand, he will give it to you!"
Su Mo ignored Lucifer and signaled Chu Nanyi, "Come over and see, how’s this angle?"
Chu Nanyi came over for a look, pondering, "Hmm... based on my experience shooting those kinds of little videos, it’s best to tilt the camera up a bit for a clearer capture of the protagonist’s expression changes."
Su Mo was dumbfounded, "You’ve shot those kinds of little videos???"
Chu Nanyi coughed lightly, awkwardly smiling, "Just... for thrills..."
Realizing the topic was a bit off, Lucifer panicked completely, "What... what are you planning?!"
Su Mo calmly said, "Relax, I won’t call a bunch of men in here to do something to you, I’m not that twisted."
With that, he left the room, and when he returned, he held a familiar weapon in his hand.
It was Nuobai’s Tang Blade.
"Swish—" The blade was unsheathed.
The Tang Blade glinted coldly under the light, as if eager to taste blood.
Standing beside Lucifer, Su Mo gently stroked the blade, saying meaningfully, "I had hoped Nuobai would take her revenge personally, but unfortunately, she’s still recovering and couldn’t come."
Fear flooded Lucifer’s eyes as he grinned maniacally and screamed, "Are you going to kill me, Su Mo?! Are you going to kill me?!"
"Do you know who my dad is? My dad is Mammon! The head of the company’s intelligence department! One word and he can call a thousand Razor units!"
"If you dare kill me, you’ll be declaring war on my dad, on Hegemony Company! He will level the Edge, ensuring none of you die well!"
...
[Lake Heart Island, Mammon Manor]
Members of the Fools’ Association gathered for a late-night snack.
Unlike the usual lively atmosphere, today’s meal was strained.
The butler tried to pour more wine for Shaya, who covered her glass lightly with her hand, signaling enough, then worriedly looked at Mammon, "President, your son was taken by the people from the Edge, what are you planning to do?"
Mammon chewed his steak as if it were wax, his gaze calm, and said with a grin, "Don’t worry, that’s my son after all."
"Su Mo won’t dare to harm him, I’ve already dispatched close ones to demand him back at Edge Mansion. Trust me, Su Mo will respectfully hand over my son."
No sooner had he spoken did a communication request come in.
Mammon: "Speak."
Confidant: "Mr. Mammon, the people from Edge aren’t letting us in, they’ve only given us a video, saying you need to see it yourself."
Mammon tugged at the corners of his mouth, laughing to everyone, "Mercenaries, always after profit first, probably demanding ransom or something, haha... connect the video."
The video was routed into the dining hall, projected on the screen.
Su Mo stood before the camera, Tang Blade in hand, calmly saying, "Mammon, it’s unfortunate to meet you through a video, especially since I can’t go to Lake Heart Island right now."
"I know you orchestrated the recent events with Nuobai, and I know Lucifer’s intrusion into Edge Mansion was at your behest."
"And now, your son is in my hands."
Su Mo stepped aside, revealing Lucifer, bound and kneeling behind him.
Mammon’s facial muscles twitched, wanting to say something, but realizing it was a recording, found any words meaningless and had to continue watching, his expression stern.
Su Mo continued, "For someone powerful like you, trying to imagine how difficult it is to simply stay alive is probably beyond your understanding."
"You and your Fools’ Association treat life as a plaything, recklessly toying with others’ fates, believing it’s your rightful privilege as superior beings."
"But you forgot one thing, death is fair. In the face of death, all are equal."
"You can harm my family and friends, and I can return the favor to your family with the death they deserve."
Hearing this, members of the Fools’ Association exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes collectively darting toward Mammon.
Mammon sat frozen, his eyes wide, yet forced a grin, "Quite the rhetoric, trying to up the ransom, a pathetic trick."
In the footage, Su Mo moved beside Lucifer, placing the Tang Blade against his throat.
The move triggered cries of alarm among Fools’ Association members.
Cold sweat beaded on Mammon’s forehead, his face still striving for calm but his actions betraying him as he paced around the dining hall, vocally shouting, "No way! Absolutely impossible!"
"That’s MY son, Mammon’s! No one dares touch him! A mere Crescent Seven Star dares touch my son? Unthinkable!"
"If he dares harm my son, Edge will be obliterated instantly!"
Su Mo stood unwaveringly in execution stance, solemnly asking Lucifer, "Any last words for your dad?"
Fear filled Lucifer’s eyes, his body trembled as he howled into the camera, "Dad! Save me!!!"
Mammon’s eyes, red with fury, screamed so loud he cracked, "Impossible! Su Mo won’t dare! He lacks the courage!"
Su Mo’s blade swung down decisively.
"Thud!" The Tang Blade sliced through Lucifer’s neck.
The head rolled off with a splash of blood, face frozen in terror, mouth opening and closing as if still calling for Mammon, yet the severed connections to the voice box rendered it silent forever.
"No!!!!" Mammon, his long-restrained emotions collapsing, vented his grief by savagely smashing the dining table and furniture, screaming with heart-wrenching agony, "No! No!! No!!!"
With seething anger blazing in his eyes, he pointed furiously at the screen displaying Su Mo’s cold visage, spitting with rage, "He’s finished! He, along with everyone from Edge, I’ll ensure they die miserably!!!"
