Chapter 5

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heller pushed Jack off the top of the building again and again.

Did he want to die? Not so easily!

Every time Jack’s life was hanging by a thread and he was on his last breath—he even felt like he already had one foot in the grave—Heller would use the Thirteen Needles of Death to forcibly bring him back to the world of the living.

Then, he would push him off the rooftop again. This repeated again and again!

Many people were afraid of death, but they just forgot that many a time, being alive is actually more terrifying than death.

Not far away was the Nicholsons’ family graveyard.

In front of the Nicholsons’ ancestors, Jack had pushed Heller’s daughter down from the rooftop. In that case, right in front of his ancestors, Heller would push Jack down from the rooftop—ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!

He would have him repay it thousands of times!

“Mr.. Nicholson, please, spare me! As long as you let me off the hook, no matter what your conditions are, I will agree to them all!”

“15 million dollars! No! 150 million dollars! I’ll give you 150 million dollars! Spare me!”

However, Heller was unmoved.

“When you pushed my daughter down from the top of the building, did you think about letting her off?”

“She’s still a child! She isn’t even four years old yet!”

“If I hadn’t come back, would you have let Ruby off?”

“It’s obvious that you wouldn’t have!”

As they said, only do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

He wanted Heller to let him off? No way! He had sealed his fate!

An expressionless Heller dragged Jack up the stairs again.

“I give in! Mr. Nicholson, I give in!”

“If you refuse to let me off, then kill me!”

“Please! Give me a swift death!”

An indifferent Heller said, “Unfortunately, no, that won’t do! Without my permission, you’re not allowed to die!”

When he finished, Heller immediately let go.

Boom!

Jack fell from the sky once more and slammed onto the ground. The fall made him see stars and all his limbs and bones were broken. Even his internal organs were close to shattering.

Unable to live, yet also unable to die!

Torture like this was definitely more agonizing than death itself!

On the ground, a large hole soon formed—this was caused by Jack crashing down repeatedly.

Next to it, the bodyguard, who had survived by chance but lost a hand, was already experiencing severe loss of blood. But when he saw Jack’s tragic state, he became even more frightened. He trembled all over, scared out of his wits.

At this point, Lindsey came over gracefully and said respectfully, “Mr. Nicholson, your daughter is awake! Ms. Ruby is already at the hospital.”

Huh?

Upon hearing that his daughter had regained consciousness, Heller quickly reined in the baleful aura around him. He asked, “Nelly’s awake? How is she?”

Lindsey replied truthfully, “She’s very sensible. Although it obviously hurts, she doesn’t cry or kick up any fuss and just wants to look for her parents. She’s so sensible that it’s heartbreaking!”

Heller’s heart tightened—he wanted to return to his daughter’s side immediately!

However, blood debts must be paid with blood!

Jack’s punishment must not stop!

Heller turned to Lindsey and instructed, “Take Jack up and push him off the rooftop. Don’t stop!”

Lindsey said solemnly, “Yes, sir! I’ll definitely throw him off until he dies!”

“No!”

Heller said indifferently, “Don’t stop even if Jack is dead. Keep on throwing him down! Keep on throwing him down until he turns into a pile of mangled flesh; keep on throwing him down until he falls apart into countless pieces! Only then are you allowed to stop!”

Lindsey bowed and saluted. “Yes, sir!”

Heller raised his head and looked at the night sky. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Also, spread the word—inform all those who are qualified to appear in front of me that my daughter was pushed off the top of a building and almost fell to her death in L.A.!”

When she heard what he said, Lindsey’s heart suddenly tightened and she abruptly looked up.

She was used to being expressionless, but she was obviously shocked to the extreme in this instant.

Who was Heller? He was Hades! The man who was peerless in both medicine and battle!

Over the years, he had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and also saved countless true elite soldiers!

That wasn’t all; countless influential figures standing at the pinnacle, whose lives had been hanging on by a thread and would undoubtedly have died if not for Heller, had also been forcibly brought back from the Underworld and had their lives extended after Heller used the Thirteen Needles of Death on them!

Among those influential figures, every one of them wielded terrifying power capable of destroying a city by themselves!

On this day, once Heller’s instructions were officially announced, it would surely shake the whole world!

Those who wanted to repay Heller for saving their lives would surely gather in Los Angeles!

And those who were quietly awaiting death to befall upon them and wanted to beg Heller, the Miraculous Doctor, to save them, yet didn’t have any chance! For the sake of their survival, they would not show any hesitation even if they were asked to wipe out the entire Los Angeles!

How could a mere family like the Zoffs stand against such wrath?!

But…

Would Lindsey refuse to make the announcement?

She was Heller’s assistant, as well as his number one trusted subordinate!

Over the years, she had witnessed with her own eyes how Heller braved through life-threatening perils in order to protect the country and never once complained about it.

But now, his daughter had been pushed off the top of a building and almost fell to her death! And his woman had almost been violated!

This was too unfair!

Someone must pay for it!

And it wasn’t just one person or a group of them; rather, it was innumerable people!

All those involved must pay the price of blood!

“Phew!”

Lindsey took a deep breath and grimly drafted a message. Then, she sent it out via email.

It was just one very simple sentence, but the next moment, it instantly caused turbulent waves to rage and the world to shake!

…

In the Hades Lair in the northern mountains.

Ten people wearing black clothes, black armor, black boots, and ferocious-looking masks sat across each other in two rows.

“Mr. Nicholson actually has a daughter?”

“And his daughter almost died after being pushed off the top of a building?”

The ten of them raised their heads, looked at one another, and stood up in unison!

On this day, the legendary, most powerful, and also most fearsome Ten Judges of The Dead swarmed out in full strength and headed straight to Los Angeles!

At the same time.

The top ten assassins in the assassin rankings also all gave up their current missions!

The major leaders of the top ten mercenary units in the mercenary rankings also appeared one after another!

Countless dark figures from the underworld who didn’t wish to be in the light also suddenly all came out!

They came from all over the world, but they had only one destination—Los Angeles!

Although Heller had only asked Lindsey to announce a very simple message, everyone knew what he meant.

And everyone also knew how important having Hades owe them a favor was!

Even if they didn’t have any use for it at the moment, who wouldn’t want a few more lives?!

That night, as Heller sent the word out, storms raged and winds howled in the various major battlefields, the world of assassins, the mercenary world, and the dark underworld!

One must rise up in protest when they face injustice!

Since they had the guts to attack his daughter, then he wouldn’t just stop at Jack—he would destroy the entire Zoff family and leave not even a single survivor!

Terror was about to officially befall.

Pray tell, who in the world could bear the fury of Hades?!
