Chapter 100: Chapter 67: From Passive to Active, the Demon’s Smile 【5000 Words, Requesting First Subscription!】_4

"In Starfire Town, there’s still some semblance of rules. There needs to be a clear reason for any action. Like in today’s situation, it is technically none of our business, so if we act without cause and this scum gets killed in the street, Wen Lei is likely to have his equipment and wrist watch confiscated and be permanently exiled to the wild, forbidden from entering any town again."

Ren Zhong asked again, "Is the Guard arresting people? Who conducts the final trial?"

"Yes, it’s the Guard. Typically, the Guard handles the trial, but sometimes Mayor Ma intervenes."

Ren Zhong nodded, "I understand."

The underlying purpose of Starfire Town’s fragile laws is still to give Hunters a legitimate reason to collect more brains.

One person dies, two brains are collected—sounds fair.

Last time, Yujin died in vain at the hands of the burly man with the surname Huang. The naive young man was goaded into making the first move under the watchful eyes of the crowd, so when the man surnamed Huang "retaliated" fatally, he was naturally without blame.

Understanding this, Ren Zhong slightly bent down and picked up a nearly two-foot-long alloy stick from the ground.

The tip of the alloy stick had a broken notch, looking somewhat sharp.

Ren Zhong weighed it in his hand—a fine weapon.

Beside him, Zheng Tian covered her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.

She noticed that although Ren Zhong’s face was expressionless, the murderous intent in his eyes was even more intense than Wen Lei’s earlier.

But if it’s him, he shouldn’t, right?

There’s no need for him to.

Suddenly, she gasped in surprise.

Ah!

Mr. Ren really rushed out!

She felt something strange.

Having dealt with Ren Zhong for three days, in her mind, Ren Zhong was a former high-ranking citizen, well-connected, resourceful, and very approachable, without airs, always smiling, very amiable.

Mr. Ren’s talent as a Mecha Warrior was high, but his talent as a Demolition Master was even more astonishing, indicating he was an exceptionally intelligent person.

Thus, the smarter someone is, the less likely they should be moved by external emotions.

Yet, the scene before her had completely overturned her understanding.

She wanted to dissuade him, but it was too late.

Oh well, the problem isn’t that big anyway.

In the next moment, Ren Zhong appeared beside Wen Lei.

He pushed Wen Lei aside and thrust the alloy stick in his hand towards the unconscious neck of the burly man with the surname Huang.

It sounded like tearing leather, and blood splattered.

Death!

Wen Lei’s grand, intense beating for almost a minute was nothing compared to Ren Zhong’s one second.

Moments ago, Wen Lei was as furious as a descending Heavenly God, yet he instantly calmed down and was stunned on the spot.

Zheng Tian also felt veins throbbing on her forehead.

It’s over, there’s trouble now.

All along, he wasn’t intending to provide Wen Lei with a weapon but to take action himself!

Publicly delivering a fatal blow—reckless.

Although there seemed to be no one openly on the street, many people were secretly watching, and it couldn’t be hidden.

There were better ways to handle this, such as letting that little girl deliver the final stab—that would have been truly foolproof.

But now...

Sigh.

"Mr. Ren, you should leave! This has nothing to do with you!"

Wen Lei finally reacted quickly for once.

No need for Zheng Tian’s reminder, he had already made his decision. As he spoke, he reached to snatch the alloy stick from Ren Zhong’s hand.

Ren Zhong turned, blocking Wen Lei’s move, and calmly said, "No need, you two should go first."

After saying that, he looked towards Zheng Tian, who stood at the street corner, bewildered and at a loss, "You should go too."

Seeing the two of them remain motionless, Ren Zhong stood up, pulled out the alloy stick, casually tossed it to the ground, clapped his hands, as if shaking off the blood from his hands.

"When I tell you to leave, just leave. This is no big deal to me, Zheng Tian, you know that."

He nodded slightly again, adding, "Yes, I have a plan."
