“Ahh!!”

A pale Sebastian screamed hysterically. Severe pain instantly spread through his entire body!

“Heller!”

“I’ve already conceded defeat! I’ve already surrendered!”

Heller lifted the severed arm with the black Hades Sword and held it up in Sebastian’s face. Without any expression on his face, he said, “I told you, you’re not allowed to surrender!”

Kneeling before one signified submission and defeat!

But Heller didn’t permit Sebastian to surrender!

“Sebastian fired his gun at me just now!” Heller’s gaze swept across the place as he said dispassionately, “I believe all of you saw that Sebastian fired his gun at me just now!”

Nathan took a huge step forward. With a sinister laugh, he said, “Sebastian attempted to assassinate Mr. Nicholson. In accordance with the law, not only is his immediate family to be executed, but the rest of his family—including even distant relatives—are also to be executed!”

Around him, countless experts clamored, “Execute his family! Leave not even a single survivor!”

Boom!

Sebastian felt thunderstruck. He was utterly stupefied!

Only then did he finally understand why Heller had forced him to shoot, as well as why there were so many experts around them, yet no one had stopped or killed him.

Obviously, this was intentional!

Undeniably, the Zoffs wiping out the Nicholsons five years ago was an irresolvable blood feud. However, Heller had just been Heller back then.

But now, he had become Hades, a man who had made great contributions to the country!

Had this just been a private feud between them, Heller would only have killed Sebastian’s immediate family. However, from the moment that Sebastian fired at Heller, it wasn’t just the direct descendants of the Zoffs who would die anymore, but everyone even remotely related to them!

Heller looked at Sebastian and asked rhetorically, “Oh? Even distant relatives? How many people would that make?”

Nathan obviously came prepared. He immediately answered, “If it includes even his distant relatives, then according to what we currently know, at least 1200 heads will roll!”

Heller nodded and said calmly, “Very well. In that case, I’ll use these 1200 lives from the Zoffs as an offering to the Nicholsons!”

“Heller! Y-you…!” A bitter Sebastian said hatefully, “How vicious of you!”

Heller said calmly, “Vicious? Sebastian, you deserved it!”

After he spoke, Heller suddenly turned to the Zoffs’ direct descendants and asked dispassionately, “I will ask this only once—do you wish to live?”

“If you do, then I’ll give you a chance!”

Heller pointed to Sebastian and said emotionlessly, “There are as many as a thousand direct descendants of the Zoffs here! Go! Everyone is to give Sebastian a slash each!”

“Remember, you’re not allowed to kill Sebastian or cause him any fatal injuries! I want him alive! I want him to suffer the pain of a thousand cuts alive!”

There was silence all around.

One slash per person!

This was tantamount to Heller wanting Sebastian to suffer at least a thousand slashes so that he would have a taste of how a thousand cuts felt! Only then would he allow him to die!

Sebastian abruptly raised his head!

Even lowly creatures deigned to drag out ignoble existences. Sebastian didn’t want to die! Much less die from suffering a thousand cuts!

After learning that Heller was the master of the legendary Hades Swords, Sebastian was very sure that he could never be Heller’s match.

Nevertheless, a trapped beast would still resist!

As a hero of a generation, Sebastian had called the shots for decades. He didn’t lack the courage to fight to the death!

Since all was lost for him, then he would risk it all!

Even if he had to die, he would bring Heller down with him! Leaving his name in history in this way was better than suffering a thousand cuts from others and leaving a bad name for himself for eons to come!

The moment he thought of that, the look in Sebastian’s eyes sharpened fiercely!

“Children of the Zoffs!”

Sebastian pointed at Heller with his only arm and shouted hysterically, “Fire!”

There were at least thirty or forty direct descendants of the Zoffs next to them. Without any hesitation, they pulled the triggers!

The next moment, Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless bullets sprayed forth!

“Hahahahaha!”

A sinister Sebastian laughed wildly and brazenly. “Heller, did you think you had me just because you’re the master of the Hades Swords? What a surprise this is, isn’t it? During these 20 years where I, Sebastian, served as the head of the Zoffs, I’ve secretly trained forty men of sacrifice who are absolutely loyal to me!

“If I must die, then I’m taking you, Hades, down with me!”

“I… Huh?”

Halfway through his speech, Sebastian was stunned.

With his hands behind his back, Heller stood less than three feet away from him. He looked absolutely calm and serene, and hadn’t taken any damage at all!

Forty guns had fired at him simultaneously, but he merely stepped forward very calmly and stood at the sole blind spot of all the bullets’ trajectories in the entire field!

Bullets rained down, but not a single one landed on him!

The man weaved through the projectiles without a single one even touching him!

In this instant, it was as if he was the center of the world instead! it was as if he controlled and ruled over everyone’s life and death!

Sebastian was dumbfounded!

At the same time.

After receiving Heller’s instructions, the countless powerhouses around them instantly attacked!

Men of sacrifice knew no pain, no fatigue, no fear, and neither were they afraid of death!

There was only one meaning to their existence, and that was to be loyal to their master! In order to fulfill their master’s orders, they were willing to even sacrifice their lives!

Sebastian must have spent immense effort training these forty men.

Every one of them was very strong, but unfortunately, they still weren’t strong enough.

At the very least, in front of these powerhouses who had rushed to Los Angeles on Hades’ orders, they simply seemed so weak and vulnerable.

In less than half a minute, all forty men died on the spot.

The icy-cold rain of bullets instantly stopped.

A pale Sebastian sat on the ground, unable to utter even a single word.

The Zoffs’ direct descendants, who were headed by Tyler, were silent.

Heller glanced around. His gaze focused on Tyler and he said indifferently, “A man only has one life!”

“Cherish it!”

“I’ve already given you a chance to live. This is the final kindness I’m showing you!”

“Decide for yourself whether you want to live or die!”

Heller held up three fingers. “3!”

Tyler’s gaze began to flicker.

“2!”

Many among the Zoffs started to fidget!

In the face of death, no one could guarantee what kind of choice they would make!

A foreboding feeling welled up vaguely in Sebastian.

“Heller!” Sebastian, whose eyes were bloodshot, roared, “Do you think you can sow discord among the Zoffs with that? The Zoffs are all real men! They’ll never listen to you! Nor will they ever raise their blades against me! I—”

Before he could even finish…

Splurt!

Tyler was the first to rush forward and raise the blade in his hand and he plunged it straight into Sebastian’s belly!
