Eps. 171 — Past Jian Chen
The death of the Chairman of his organization made the members of the Demon Tower instantly kneel down and surrender, unfortunately Jian Chen did not care about the surrender and still killed them.
Jian Chen continued his steps into the assassin's headquarters, he then discovered the remaining members of the Demon Tower were holding the prisoners hostage to survive fearfully Jian Chen could kill them.
Jian Chen did not budge and continued to tread slowly.
The hostage takers gulped, he approached his knife to the neck of his prisoner closer. "Stop or I kill them..."
One of them tried to threaten Jian Chen but before he finished his sentence a small knife stuck into his neck, making him instantly fall to the ground.
Before the hostage-takers reacted there were other knives flying and this time more, the knives immediately felled them one by one.
The ones throwing the knife were of course the five twin girls who were with him, their ability in killing was already beyond doubt.
Jian Chen then released the hostages and said they were free and safe, taking the money at the base of the assassins Jian Chen gave to the prisoners. They immediately thanked Jian Chen and started leaving the headquarters.
As the prisoners were about to pass through the gate, their eyes found something terrible that they had never seen in a lifetime, hundreds of bodies lying on the ground with a fishy smell scented the air.
They immediately suppressed the sudden nausea, besides not daring to see the terrifying sight they also tried to hold their breath because the smell of blood smelled thick piercing the nose.
The prisoners seemed to be in a dilemma and were shocked to be saved by a cold-blooded figure even more ruthless than his own captors, they hurriedly left the location of the headquarters, he said, not because of the corpse but out of fear Jian Chen did something to him.
Jian Chen watched their actions from above the fortress only sighing softly.
Jian Chen's gaze then fell on the hundreds of corpses on the ground, slowly his memories in his first life sprung up.
In the past Jian Chen was not this kind of person, he did not dare to take one's life let alone look like he was slaughtering it now.
Let alone humans, Jian Chen did not even have the heart to kill animals or insects, not to overdo it he was a loving youth.
Jian Chen's attitude did not change even though his parents and clan had died but it was different if the deceased was his lover whom Jian Chen loved very much.
Jian Chen arguably already had a lover in the first life, he and his lover loved each other very long until at some time all his love feelings changed.
The lover Jian Chen died to save his life when both of them were surrounded by evil people, with blood on his lips, the Beloved Jian Chen gave his last words for him to go and live his own life without him.
It was death that made Jian Chen's love turn into deep hatred, without realizing it he killed all the evil people who surrounded him but unfortunately their death could not bring to life the person Jian Chen loved.
Since then Jian Chen had never hesitated to kill those who were at fault especially the assassins like the Demon Tower organization. Jian Chen did not want his past memories to be felt by others let alone to the point of losing a loved one.
After Jian Chen met his teacher and obtained a higher power, Jian Chen used that power to destroy the evil organizations. That was when he got used to killing people.
The Asura Sword might have impressed Jian Chen into a cold-blooded assassin but even without it, Jian Chen could have done the same.
The Asura God Sword that Lily said had such a dangerous effect as making someone bloodthirsty actually could not affect Jian Chen especially since he was already used to killing himself.
Lan Qiaoqiao walked over to Jian Chen and wanted to say an important thing but her words stopped seeing Jian Chen wiping the corners of her slightly watery eyes.
Jian Chen indeed unconsciously let out his tears when recalling the death of his lover.
"Hm, is there something?" Jian Chen asked making Lan Qiaoqiao immediately wake up from staring at him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just said that my sister just found information regarding this Devil Tower Organization..."
Jian Chen's forehead wrinkled, "Hm, could it be that any of them escaped or escaped?"
Lan Qiaoqiao shook her head slowly. "Not that, but I found a letter signed by someone important in the room of the Demon Tower Leader..."
It turned out that the work system of the Devil Tower was not as simple as kidnapping, killing, and robbing alone, they also turned out to have cooperated with one of the city governments.
From the letter the prisoners freed Jian Chen previously should be sold and made into slaves, the problem that established the slave sale transaction was a government from the city.
Slaves were a taboo in the Dragon Empire because they were considered human sales. Of course the Imperial government forbids it as well.
Even so, in fact in various places there are still many people who buy or sell slaves from other parties, the slavers are made from their own land.
Jian Chen sighed, hearing the enslavement in his ears was not the first thing he heard, in his past life even hearing of slavery was not a foreign thing anymore.
He only hoped that by destroying organizations like the Devil's Tower he could reduce the case of slavery itself.
Jian Chen chose to continue his journey after the five girls rested for a while, after destroying the 8 headquarters of their organization looking somewhat exhausted.
***
The news of Jian Chen's actions along with his five twin girls destroying the Demon Tower organization immediately spread widely to various regions.
The news of the action was quite horrendous in the martial world because they realized that the Devil Tower Organization was a powerful organization and was feared by even warriors.
At the same time as the news, a gleam was suddenly spread out by the Leader of the Wind Dragon Province.
It tells the story of a fugitive who had harmed the prince. Whoever sees and tells the government his location, he will be given ten gold coins.
Meanwhile, if you can kill it, you will be rewarded with abundant resources and wealth.
The sheet does not show the face of the perpetrator but has special characteristics that his body has.
About a young man who had red or gold eyes, was a dozen years old but had high strength.
The slab was almost spread throughout the entire point of the Wind Dragon Province so that almost everyone saw it, who received the news was quite tempted by the gifts promised by the government, he said, not least the robbers and hitmen who want to catch the perpetrator.
