Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 360 - 359: Passing the Throne

Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Passing the Throne

At that moment, these nouveau riche second generations seemed to become the protagonists, surrounding Michelle Miller and effectively keeping everyone else out.

"It’s such a pity to just kill such a beautiful Mermaid."

"She caused us so much misery and almost took our lives; we can’t just let her die so easily!"

"Sometimes, being alive is worse than death; I want her to wish she was dead!"

"Why don’t we each have our turn with her first? After we’ve had our fill, we can take her out and send her to a brothel. Such a beautiful Half Mermaid will surely interest many!"

"Hehehe, that’s right, but how do Mermaids reproduce, how do they...? Hope we don’t end up not finding the spot."

More than a dozen of these second-generation nouveau riches snickered indecently, seemingly eager to ’study’ Michelle Miller right then and there.

As the conversation went on, it became increasingly distasteful.

"Mu Ri brother, what do you say? Hand this Mermaid over to us, and we brothers will definitely make her regret being alive in this world!"

This group of pampered second-generations lacked many skills, but Lin Hao believed they were definitely most adept at tormenting people.

Song Qinghong and the other two were overshadowed by these nouveau riche second-generations but did not say anything, seemingly agreeing with what they suggested.

Louis Diobus had been watching Lin Hao all along.

This Huaxia youth, who claimed to be Mu Ri, had given him too many surprises.

Louis Diobus had watched everything that had happened today.

He was no simple pampered rich kid; he had brains, too.

He quickly guessed that Lin Hao had had an incredible fortune here and become a powerful person.

He might even be more formidable than Lin Hao, who had fiercely battled with the Eight Great Breaking Space masters.

This was a big tree to lean on!

"Stop it all!"

Louis Diobus understood something, suddenly stepped forward, and then approached Lin Hao: "Mu Ri brother, we are all brothers who’ve been through life and death together. From now on, you are our leader. Whatever you say about dealing with this Mermaid, we brothers won’t have a second word!"

These guys had been trying to steal the spotlight, although Lin Hao had already said how he wanted to handle things, yet they jumped out to ask again.

Clearly, they wanted to have their fun first, after all, such a beautiful Mermaid was indeed a novelty for these nouveau riches.

Yet, before Lin Hao could speak, Lan Xinxin couldn’t hold back anymore and stood up, looking disdainfully at Louis Diobus and the group of nouveau riches, and shouted, "Murder doesn’t require more than a nod of the head; how can you be like this?"

"It was Mu Ri brother who said to make her pay the price..."

A disgruntled second generation nouveau riche muttered on the side, but before he could finish, Louis Diobus interrupted him.

"Mu Ri brother, we’ll listen to you."

Lin Hao didn’t care about a mere Michelle Miller.

How she died was not of concern to Lin Hao.

Originally, Lin Hao had said beforehand that he wanted Michelle Miller to pay the price, and the solution of this group of pampered second-generations was indeed brutal.

But seeing the look in Lan Xinxin’s eyes, Lin Hao eventually took a deep breath and said, "Murder doesn’t require more than a nod of the head; step aside."

With that, Lin Hao took a knife and approached Michelle Miller.

"You, deserve to die."

"All that you have done, even if I kill you ten thousand times, it would not absolve your sins."

"If it were before, I would surely agree with their approach, and make your life a living hell."

"But now..."

"Murder doesn’t require more than a nod of the head, today, I will end you personally."

Saying this, Lin Hao thrust the knife forward.

To kill, is no more than a nod of the head.

Lan Xinxin was right, Michelle Miller deserved to die, but there was no need for insult.

With a single thrust, Lin Hao did not withdraw his blade but instead turned and walked away, leaving Michelle Miller clutching the knife in her abdomen, her eyes fiercely and terrifyingly watching Lin Hao’s retreating back.

"You... will... not... win!"

"I... will be... waiting... for you... below..."

Michelle Miller died, deeply unwilling, and in her dying breath, she still glared at Lin Hao, cursing him in the language of the Half Mermaid Clan.

Yet, Skeleton Island finally returned to complete peace.

In the sea breeze, people stood facing the wind.

Everyone looked at Lin Hao, their expressions full of excitement.

Before this, all residents of Death Island, including Lan Tianhao, thought they were heading to their doom.

But now, not only had they not died, but they had also killed Michelle Miller, a formidable member of the Half Mermaid Clan.

Although the process was fraught with hardships, it could be described as a total victory.

This victory gave everyone hope.

Could the ideals of the people of Death Island, held for thousands of years, finally be realized today? Could they finally leave the eternally sunless Sea of Death?

The sea breeze was cold, but the air seemed to be filled with an indefinable, overwhelming heat.

"Everyone, come over here!"

Lan Tianhao stood beside Lin Hao and called out to the people of Death Island.

Solemnly and earnestly.

The people of Death Island hadn’t seen such an expression on Lan Tianhao in a long time.

Could it be that another significant event was about to take place?

No one spoke, but everyone stepped forward, standing in lines atop the thigh bone of a giant beast’s foreleg.

Then, they saw Lan Tianhao walk beside Lin Hao, kneel down, and bow deeply!

Three kneels and nine bows were the grandest gesture of respect on Death Island.

Isolated from the world for thousands of years, the people of Death Island still preserved their most ancient customs.

But with Lan Tianhao, the Death Island’s Great Witch, paying such deep homage to Lin Hao, the islanders were puzzled.

"Listen, everyone, from now on, Mu Ri shall be the Great Witch of our clan. Our people shall follow the Great Witch Mu Ri as their leader, never to betray him for eternity!" This decision had been made by Lan Tianhao during the time he and Lin Hao were underwater.

Now, it was finally time to disclose it.

Lin Hao had demonstrated a strength that was fitting for the position of Great Witch among the people of Death Island. And for Lan Tianhao, relying on Lin Hao after leaving this sea area would only benefit the people of Death Island, without any harm.

However, the fact that the new Great Witch was not a member of Death Island made it somewhat difficult for the islanders to accept instantly.

With Lan Tianhao abdicating in favor, Lin Hao was the new Great Witch of Death Island, equivalent to the Emperor of the island’s people.

But the islanders stood foolishly, as if dazed, like hundreds of fools.

This made Lan Tianhao very displeased.

"What? You do not heed my decision?"

Lan Tianhao’s expression turned sour.

The people of Death Island were longing to venture into the outside world, a world unknown to them, and they needed a support, a figure of strength, and Lin Hao was just that.

He had good intentions, yet his people could not understand?

"Kneel and pay your respects to the new Great Witch!"

Lan Tianhao’s face could hardly maintain composure, and with a darkened expression he roared, prompting Lan Xinxin and Li Qi to come out of their shock. They hurriedly knelt before Lin Hao: "Greetings, Great Witch!"

When the two knelt down, the rest of the people came to their senses, and they too knelt down.

However, among the crowd, one person’s face turned particularly ugly, and he suddenly burst out, roaring at Lan Tianhao: "Why? Even if he saved us, what of it? For thousands of years, my Death Island clan has had its traditions. Why should an outsider be handed the position of Great Witch? I refuse to accept this!"
