Chapter 324: Promise.
Hao Ren immobilized Viktor and dragged him onto the deck, along with the rest of the people that he left alive. Han Lingshi was in a state of shock, Hao Ren looked at her and said, "All that you saw was a dream, some of it was bad and some of it was good. Do not worry, and sleep when you wake up, you will be in your home."
Han Lingshi looked at him in a daze, Hao Ren was speaking softly and he pressed a few of her acupoints. The girl fell asleep under the gentle massage, and he placed her on a recliner and covered her with a couple of towels.
He sighed, and said, "System, if you had not decided to fuck me up by throwing me in this alternate timeline, she would not have suffered like this. Do you understand? You fucking piece of shit."
*Ding: Host, it was the shitty author who fucked up the storyline.*
Hao Ren replied, "I don't care about any of this shit you understand? Fuck you, and fuck the author. I am not getting loved by the readers anymore."
*Ding: Sigh, I apologize. Unlocking your cultivation realm.*
After a few minutes, the young man took out his phone and called Stephanie, and he said, "It is settled here, you want to come up?" Explore more stories at empire
Stephanie replied, "We will wait for you to lower down a safety boat, the patrol is still around."
Hao Ren did not bother, and he turned to look at the living members of the Red Scorpion Mercenaries and then he snapped his fingers. The people woke up and groaned in pain, Hao Ren stood before them and said, "You know what you have done?"
Viktor sucked a cold breath and said, "If you have the guts, kill us."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Yes, I will kill you, that is without a doubt, but I want you to know why you would suffer what you are about to suffer. You could have done anything to Han Ming and I couldn't care about that at all.
But you, you low level trash dared to go after the one I love. You not only put her in danger, you dared to beat her."
There were ten people, and Hao Ren was going to kill them all, so looking at the man who was laying next to Viktor, Hao Ren grabbed the void.
The man flew over, and his neck was held by the young man, the people were shocked and they fell silent. Hao Ren said, "You were commanding the people to flank me, right?"
The man could not say anything but then, his ribs exploded and the man died. Hao Ren said, "There, you got flanked."
Viktor shivered and roared, "What are you!"
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I am your death, that is all."
One by one, he killed people, and Viktor was flayed alive, even then he was not dead. Hao Ren removed his organs and emptied his guts, even then Viktor was alive. Hao Ren looked in his eyes and asked, "So, what do you think? Was it worth harming her?"
Viktor could not reply, he was devoid of energy, and only thing that remained alive inside him was terror. Hao Ren smiled and then said, "Good bye."
He threw Viktor, or whatever remained of him to the side, and picked up Han Lingshi in his arms. He took a step and climbed the void, before he started walking towards the boat where Stephanie and Mal were waiting together.
...
Stephanie suddenly looked towards the horizon, as the sun peeked out, and she was about to take a deep breath, when Mal grabbed her hand and turned her head to where Hao Ren was walking in the void. The two people were shocked, the young man came over, and settled in the boat.
He looked at them and said, "Can we leave here?"
The two people nodded dumbly and they turned around the boat and headed to the port. Stephanie looked at Han Lingshi and asked, "Is she alright?"
Hao Ren nodded but did not say anything, he just sat there and brushed her forehead. After a few minutes, he said, "If your SID tried to go after her, I will kill them all."
His voice was so calm and cold that the two people almost peed their pants. They nodded hurriedly, another couple of hours, and they reached the airport where they boarded a private jet that was given to Stephanie, and flew back home.
Hao Ren despised Han Ming, and asked Stephanie to inform that Han Lingshi has been rescued. When they landed on the tarmac, Hao Ren carried the girl in his arms as gently as if she was a delicate treasure.
At the edge of the runway, a few cars were stationed and the Han Family elders were there as well. Han Ming dashed over and just when he was about to reach and touch Han Lingshi, Hao Ren looked at him, and that was it. Han Ming froze in his place. The young man walked ahead and came to stand before Yue Shi. This was the first time he saw her in this life, and said, "Auntie, Lingshi is safe, when she wakes up just tell her that she had high fever and fell asleep. Everything that she saw was a dream."
He did not tell them that she killed three people in the fit of rage. All these years the suppressed emotions in her heart exploded and that led to the explosion on the ship and she killed three people.
He handed Han Lingshi to her mother and turned to look at the middle-aged man who stood on the side. The person stepped forward and said, "Master Hao, please come with me, the President wishes to meet you."
Hao Ren replied calmly, "I do not wish to meet your president. I stated my intentions clearly, I do not owe anything to the Supernatural Investigation Department."
The man frowned and said, "I am respectful to the strong and that is why I am here, don't think that you can exceed your limits."
Hao Ren snorted, and the spiritual pressure emitted from his body flung the man back as if he was a rag doll. The young man said, "It is you who is talking out of your depth."
The man wanted to say something when he puked a mouthful of blood. His eyes were brimming with shock. Hao Ren just became a cold blooded demon from an amicable young man. Han Ming watched the scene from the side and his brain almost turned to mush. Stephanie sighed and rushed over, as she said, "Young Master Hao, I will arrange a car to drop you back to the school dorms, and you can return to your previous life."
Hao Ren nodded and then he turned to look at Han Ming and said, "If your actions cause Lingshi to suffer, then I will break your bones ten times over and keep you conscious while doing that."
He did not mind becoming a love obsessed person who cared about nothing but his love. Hao Ren took a car, and Stephanie personally drove the car with him. Mal and a few men rushed up to help the middle-aged man, who asked, "What happened there?"
Yue Shi had just helped Han Lingshi in the car, and all the other elders were there as well. They trained their ears to hear the details. Mal hesitated, but Yue Shi took out her ID card and said, "I have a level B clearance and know about SID. Tell me what happened?"
Mal took a deep breath and said, "Hao Ren killed more than fifty people alone, he killed Dmitri Karpov, the general manager of Ignite Fuel, and he also killed Viktor Chekov, the mastermind of the whole abduction stint. He did not spare any single person apart from eight patrolling people.
From what I heard before we took the flight, Viktor Chekov was flayed, and dismembered while he was kept alive. He was conscious throughout the process, and Hao Ren made him witness this all."
The people sucked in a cold breath and Mal said, "He is not someone we can mess with. His strength is already at the level where he can walk in the void, and he did that only after he finished killing everyone."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and asked, "Did you clean it up?"
Mal nodded and said, "We did, but everyone is shocked and they do not wish to see him ever again. He definitely held back when you tried to show off just now, Boss."
The man nodded and then he said, "Miss Yue, the situation has been sorted, we will handle the formal procedure, you should go home now."
The people nodded, and the Han Family got inside an extended car, and Han Ming was shaken. The old couple did not speak either and Yue Shi asked, "Say what you want to say Ming."
Han Ming took a deep breath and said, "I understand that I am not the most idol father, but that guy, he is so fixated on Lingshi that I am afraid, he must have done something to her mind, otherwise, how can everything that she went through would be tagged as a dream."
Smack!
Old Man Han slapped his son across the face and said, "If you dared to sully him again, I will disown you and throw you on the streets. He did not kill you, after your repetitive actions, yet you are so ungrateful. I wonder if you are my own blood."
Gao Yue looked at Han Ming and said, "You are hopeless."
Yue Shi looked at her husband who was clenching his fists and said, "You are just saying this because of your stupid promise to Bai Yuelong. However, that guy can never be as strong as Hao Ren, so relax and let me handle this, or none of us would be able to save you."
...
Hao Ren reached the school and said, "Tell your people, that I owe them one this time, if there is a national crisis, I will step forward, but until then, stay in your lane."
That said, he got off, Stephanie was so excited by his words, because this was a promise from someone who caused the entire Department to stay awake at nights, it was exhilarating.
