“If your flowery fist with the fancy footwork isn’t enough to kill me, you are going to be eating dirt when I knock you to the ground and step on your face!”
Mo Fan had the Shadow, Earth, and s.p.a.ce Elements. His ability to move around and track his enemies was outstanding. Secretary Richard tried his best to run away, but struggled to distance himself from Mo Fan.
“Do you know the consequences of harming a Secretary?” Secretary Richard dared him.
“Are you kidding me now? I’ve already told you everything and fought a few rounds with you, yet those are the last words you can come up with?” Mo Fan asked.
“Last…last words? You dare kill me?” Secretary Richard gasped in astonishment.
“Two of the Saints of the Parthenon Temple, one is my wife, another one is my in-law. Your general with long brows even said he wants to be my sworn brother, but I told him not to take advantage of me. You are just a Secretary, you aren’t even a local tyrant. Why would I have to think twice about killing you? You are in the military, too. Why don’t you ask around? General Ethan from Egypt wets his pants whenever he sees me. If I say I’m going to raze your military academy to the ground, if I say I’m going to kill Babbitt, I will do it, and that includes taking your life!” Mo Fan declared.
He did not even need to think with his brain to figure out Secretary Richard was with the Guild of the Wicked. He might not have any symbols of the Black Ornaments on him, but he could easily figure out the wicked acts an official of the military who had colluded with the Black Ornaments had performed!
“Thousand Lightning Crows!”
Mo Fan caught up to Secretary Richard and used the Lightning Tyrant.
Lightning was the real meaning of destruction. Even if Secretary Richard had a full set of luxurious magic Equipment and applied a layer of ice to himself, they were like a piece of paper against the Lightning Element!
The lightning crows penetrated Secretary Richard’s defenses. His body was spasming from the shocks, injured again as he was planning to kite Mo Fan around.
“Secretary Richard!” Babbitt felt like his heart was being electrocuted too when he saw Secretary Richard being scorched by the lightning.
If the st.u.r.diest protective umbrella in Crete could not stop the devil, did it mean he was going to die too!?
“Your supporter isn’t as reliable as he looks. He’s supposed to be an experienced Super Mage, yet he doesn’t have anything else except for that surprising ability he was using at first. He must have sat too comfortably in his position for too long,” Mo Fan stepped onto the rubbles, and slowly slid toward Babbitt without moving his feet.
“You mad man, you are a mad man, kill us and you won’t get away with it! The Guild of the Wicked is going to hunt you down, and you will be brought to trial by the International Military Tribunal too!” Babbitt yelled.
“I’m not too worried about what comes next. I’m more curious if you and Secretary Richard have any other last words. Do you really want to protect the culprit, even if it means sacrificing your lives?” Mo Fan wondered aloud.
“I don’t know anything, I don’t know what you are talking about! The culprit of Green Sprouts Island has nothing to do with me!…” Babbitt blurted out.
“I didn’t mention Green Sprouts Island. Ah, I get it,” Mo Fan smiled.
Babbitt’s face turned pale. Blue veins surfaced on his face and forehead.
“Secretary Richard, do you have something to say?” Mo Fan clenched his fist and dragged Secretary Richard toward him.
When Mo Fan dragged Secretary Richard to his side, the latter’s eyes suddenly glittered fiercely. He swung his right hand at Mo Fan’s head like a knife.
“Do you think I have no idea you are just faking your weakness?” Mo Fan grinned coldly. He remained still.
Secretary Richard’s own shadow tied him down as he was swinging his hand. He could not move his hand any further.
He turned his head and realized a shadow demon had appeared behind him out of nowhere.
The shadow demon was holding a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other. It aimed at Secretary Richard’s arm and struck the nail with the hammer.
“AHHHH!” Secretary Richard screamed in pain.
The shadow demon was targeting his soul. It felt like his heart and organs were being torn apart, even though the nail was on his arm!
“Secretary Richard, do you have anything to say? This military academy is located in quite a remote place. I’m guessing the backup you called for won’t be here any time soon. Are you familiar with being tortured by the Shadow Element? You just felt it, it’s very painful, and you will wish to die instead…” Mo Fan said.
“What are you trying to do!?” Secretary Richard yelled.
“We all know the answer, so there’s no point wasting our time,” Mo Fan said.
“Please… I’m begging you, give us a chance!” Babbitt suddenly interrupted.
Mo Fan was interrogating Secretary Richard. He was surprised that Babbitt would speak to him first.
“A chance to change your ways of living? Impossible, there’s no such chance for both of you for the rest of your lives. You forfeited your humanity when you had the chance, and now you are begging for mercy prior to your death. This world isn’t as merciful as you think,” Mo Fan replied.
“No, no, aren’t you trying to find out the truth? The two of us are only following orders. Really, give us another chance, just like what you told Kachasa. Let us go so we can seek shelter from our superior. I swear that the next guy will have the answers you are looking for. Please, give us another chance. Didn’t you say twenty-four hours? There is still some time left,” Babbitt said.
Babbitt finally realized how terrifying the man he provoked was. He was still in danger even after he ran to the military academy!
He could only ask that man for help if he wanted to live. Babbitt had a rough idea of what Mo Fan was looking for. If he did not give the devil something he was interested in, he would end up just like Kachasa and the tattooed man!
“Yeah, didn’t you want answers? You will get them if you let us go,” Secretary Richard finally realized how reckless Mo Fan was. It was meaningless to scare him off with rules and laws. He had already destroyed the military academy, so why would he hesitate to kill them?
“I’m sorry, I can only let one of you live. Someone has to die today. It depends on whoever is closer to the guy above. Otherwise, all my words would be in vain too,” Mo Fan told them apologetically.
Secretary Richard and Babbitt exchanged glances. Both of them claimed they were closer to their superior!
