Chapter 495 - Pity

Adam had ruthlessly sliced off one of the Serpent Powerhouse of the Black Dragon Gang's legs with ease and his expression hadn't changed in the slightest. Rather than disgust or guilt, he still appeared indifferent and nonchalant, while there was even a glint of enjoyment in his eyes.

"What happened Liao Wei?" asked his mother as she went to turn around, but Liao Wei who was on the verge of vomiting stopped her from turning around.

Standing on one leg, Huang Feng was howling in pain as blood flooded out from where his right leg used to be, and it became impossible for him to escape.

As soon as Adam had called out to Liao Wei to close his eyes, Huang Feng was preparing himself to bolt away as fast as he could, which became quite obvious to Adam who wasn't planning on letting that happen.

"You are not a victim and are insane. This is where you will die and it will allow the souls of many that you have killed to rest, including the souls of your parents that are unable to rest due to the worry they had for the son that they left behind," stated Adam, who with his Soul Vision activated could see many souls hovering around Huang Feng.

When a soul had unfinished business in the land of the living, they would become wandering souls and would resist and escape being taken into the underworld. Most would just give in and accept their death and it was rare to find wandering souls, but around Huang Feng, there were quite a few.

Hearing that, Huang Feng thought back to his parents from a young age and suddenly things started aligning in his mind. 

"I-It was me. I was the one that killed my parents," he realised.

He had been eaten up so much by the guilt he felt about what had happened, that he created a false memory and concealed what had truly happened from himself. 

The truth was, the cruel head of the Black Dragon Gang had given him two options. Either to die with his parents, or to kill them himself.

Too afraid to accept death, he closed his eyes and slashed his parents with the knife that had been placed in his shaking hands by the head of the Black Dragon Gang.

His parents weren't tied up or anything, but didn't fight back or stop him, knowing that it was better if at least their son could survive and they died reassuring him that it was all their fault and that he shouldn't feel any guilt.

The debt they were carrying was generational and had become too big for them to even begin to think about repaying, so death felt like a mercy for them, but they couldn't help but worry about their son, which was why they followed his body even after dying.

Seeing his parents smiling at him and reassuring him as he killed them made Huang Feng feel even more guilty and pushed him to lie and deceive himself into blaming someone else for their murder.

He had become crazy.

However, seeing the murderous glint in his eyes, along with the talent that he displayed in martial arts, he was nurtured into becoming a killer and martial artist by the head of the Black Dragon Gang.

Losing so much blood and already pushing his body too far, Huang Feng knew that death was inevitable, and as his life flashed past his eyes, he finally realised the truth and had no choice but to accept it and finally end his misery.

"Is it true you can see the souls of my parents?" he asked as he collapsed onto the ground, losing all his will to fight and live.

"Yes, and they are waiting for you in the afterlife. Just hope that you are luckier in your next life," answered Adam, who had no reason to hold any hatred towards him and was glad that he was finally at peace with himself.

However, he was shocked to hear what he had to say next.

"Save me, please. Stop my bleeding just so I can live an hour longer and watch you take down the Black Dragon Gang. I want to see the head of the gang die myself, and he deserves to die a slow and painful death and after he has done," he pleaded.

Adam didn't know much about the man's past, but he had nothing to lose by doing so and placed his hand over his leg, then using his Ethereal Healing Skill.

A few minutes later, the bleeding on his leg completely stopped, but he only healed it enough to temporarily delay his death, still wanting to make sure that he died. Adam pitied him, but his actions were unforgivable and death was a mercy for him, his parents and all his victims.

Watching what was happening, Liao Wei who was disgusted at first after seeing a man's leg be cut off, and also amazed by how fast and powerful Adam and Huang Feng were, became confused.

'Why did they suddenly begin to speak to each other and why did Adam heal him after cutting his leg off?' wondered to himself as he walked his mother to her bed and told her to make sure to stay there.

"Where are you going Liao Wei?" she asked, knowing that him attempting to get involved in what was happening was like an ant getting involved in a fight between elephants.

"Just to get a closer look. I will be fine, just promise me that you stay put," he answered, adamant about her not watching what happened outside.

"I promise,"

With that, he rushed out of their flat, unable to jump out of the window like Adam did, and made it to Adam's side just in time to hear Huang Feng's life story and understand what was going on.

"Use your phone to call your boss and tell him to bring everyone in the Black Dragon Gang right here.. I will end this in one fell swoop," instructed Adam, wanting to put an end to everything with the Black Dragon Gang so he could move on.
