The Gentleman at the End
Chapter 377 - Chapter 377 Chapter 376 Flaws

Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Flaws Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Flaws Peeler Alex.

Born into a prominent family in the fourth largest city under the Organization’s control, he displayed a mental acuity far beyond his peers from a young age,

rarely spending time with others his age and frequently conversing with people more than ten years his senior, courtesy of his family status, discussing anything and everything.

Privately, he often brought home mice and frogs to dissect, especially finding the skinning process intensely fascinating and exciting, a topic he never shared with anyone.

Each animal carcass was meticulously disposed of, never discovered by his family.

After turning ten, he developed an insatiable craving for art, particularly art involving the display of flesh, beginning to visit art galleries and even risking trips to other cities in pursuit of more art, for art was scarce in such a world.

It wasn’t until he came across a painting in an antique shop named “Red Dragon and Sun-shielding Woman” that he spared no expense to acquire it for his home, immersing himself in it day and night.

He also ordered the family’s servants to bring more live mice, attempting to use their leather as a medium to perfectly replicate the painting.

But the skin of mice was simply too coarse, and even human skin wasn’t sufficient,

he needed better skin, the perfect skin to render the artwork, and upon learning about the direct relevance between the Gentleman Organization and skin, he began training relentlessly, striving toward a goal.

At last,

he became a Gentleman, even one of the elite, breaking physical limits to pass the [Watcher] assessment.

Finally, the opportunity came,

those budding young Gentlemen, their tender, eager skins just the material he was looking for, the grand plan commenced.

Dozens of promising young Gentlemen were killed, their bodies used as core material,

accompanied by the skins of hundreds of ordinary Gentlemen to serve as secondary material for his work,

Unfortunately, the final product was still imperfect, and just as he was contemplating what was lacking, he was captured by the Executioner Group that had rushed to the scene.

He thought everything was about to end, but the Organization had secretly initiated the ‘First Gentleman Project’ which rekindled the pathological flame within him.

Even if the Power Station’s apparatus completely scrambled and reshaped his brain, even if it stripped away his malignant instincts,

Alex’s pursuit of his work was never once affected.

When he saw before him a powerful opponent who harbored bright red killing intent and was adept with skin, a spark flashed through his mind. Wasn’t this the very thing his final work was missing?

Even as his brain was smashed by a direct punch, Alex’s body remained excited,

the skins on his body converging to form a grotesque visage of yearning, greed, and pursuit of perfection on his abdomen, the mouth near the navel screaming out loud:

“My long-standing confusion is finally resolved! Mandy Lussen, you will become the final piece of my grand work, the heart of the Red Dragon.

Restriction Removal, witness this grand moment!”

As soon as he finished speaking,

Alex’s skin and clothing turned into a bloody mist, hovering at the top of the church, the dense aura of slaughter coalescing within the clouds.

Boom! Suddenly, a totem over ten meters tall descended from the sky.

The totem was made of the Gentlemen Alex had once slaughtered, reformed into a form of slaughter and skin,

and at the base of the totem was a gap of flesh, something about to squirm or be born from it.

The Red Dragon!

Alex emerged in the ‘Red Dragon Form’ depicted by his tattoos,

with wings sprouting from his back, a bare head crowned with demon-like coiled horns, and a long tail dragging behind.

He spread his arms in an embracing gesture towards Mandy and reassured, “Don’t be afraid, I will quickly complete your skinning! Your consciousness will be stripped away too, witnessing together the birth of a great work.”

As he stepped forward, his wings flapped,

and Alex rushed towards his target with unimaginable speed, the airflow generated by the sprint visible to the naked eye.

All ten of his fingers transformed into skinning knives, ready to complete a full-body skinning in just one second.

The dream was right before him,

and as he gazed with endless greed, about to touch the stationary Mandy,

Buzz!

The Mandy before him vanished, leaving only a red tie floating in the air,

Due to the high-speed sprint,

the tie that was horizontal in the air just happened to strangle Alex’s neck,

at the same time, Mandy’s words spread among the churches, “First Gentleman, I’ll borrow your iron chains for a moment.”

Mandy grabbed the other end of the tie and directly hung the ‘Red Dragon’ on the iron chains,

the constriction from the red tie left Peeler Alex momentarily unable to move, or to say his entire body was becoming ‘sandbagged.’

A certain skin disease that was superior to Alex swept over his body,

causing him to develop various sizes of spots and rashes, muscle weakness, mucosal necrosis, and problems in all organs such as the heart and lungs… transforming into a human-shaped sandbag.

On Mandy’s end, her right fist, which had taken off the tie, was completely mutated, covered with butterfly-shaped ‘red lupus.’

[Mandy Lussen]

Executioner from Cesimani,

Profession -[Red Boxer], Illness – Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD).

“I once said, even if your consciousness remains, your nature has been stripped in part and the prolonged life in the laboratory further ruins your ferocity.

Incomplete and weak,

even if you are desperately showcasing what you think is perfection, but in my eyes, it’s nothing more than an ugly piece of art.”

As soon as the words fell,

the right fist, bearing the butterfly-shaped red lupus, shot straight down the centerline of the opponent’s body in one go!

[Direct Punch Six Hits]!

The collision of lupus with the flesh caused severe skin shock,

combined with the force of each punch, the intensity of the hit, and the hidden ‘killing intent,’ it caused Alex’s Red Dragon body to explode from the back.

The epidemic value frame on top of his head was actually completely emptied by these six punches,

the insides of the body–bones, organs, blood vessels, flesh–all burst forth in foam, spraying against the wall of the church behind.

Eventually, a bright red drawing of the Red Dragon was stained on the wall,

and Alex’s skin, except for a split in the back, hung almost perfectly intact on the iron chains.

This slaughter didn’t elicit any intervention from anyone, even the two from the research institute just watched silently, making detailed recordings… being able to dispose of a failed subject here also saved them a lot of time.

Mandy retracted the tie, wrapping it around her right hand.

The left hand, which hadn’t been used throughout, grabbed the skin and tossed it back to the observation platform.

When Mandy re-tied her tie, she immediately bowed apologetically with an honest and sincere appearance, “I’m terribly sorry, although I’ve been holding back a lot, I just couldn’t contain myself with this guy who’s even more inferior than an animal.”

Deputy Director Kimberly replied, “It’s alright, he would have just been executed if sent back anyway.”

“Sorry for the trouble… huh~”

Mandy took a small hop and returned to Yuri’s side, only to receive a very ordinary comment, “Not bad, being able to integrate the concept of ‘killing line’ into your punches, each punch equals a deadly blow.

The treatment of the sandbag-like skin quality was also good, taking advantage of the opponent’s psychological gap.

But you talk too much, why not just kill such trash, why say so much nonsense?”

“Ah, I was just a bit psychologically imbalanced~ When I first arrived at the organization, if I had a slight conflict with someone, you would discipline me.

Seeing such trash who killed so many people still acting proud just irks me.”

“Alright, take a short rest and get ready for the final match.”

“Ah~ I don’t want to fight monsters, can I forfeit?”

Smack!

Yuri directly slapped Mandy flying away, even leaving four terrible cuts on her face that exposed the gums,

but Mandy quickly scampered back, looking even more obedient.

“I understand, I’ll take it seriously.”
