death of hope

Chapter 899: "Wild Growth" (313) Man is about to die

"My...Ayane..."

Kondo Isao was touched by his granddaughter's loyalty.

He, who had always been arrogant and conceited, stood up tremblingly and bowed to Chen Xing and begged:
"Mr. Chen, it's me you want. Don't touch that child. I beg you..."

At this time, there was a burst of applause from behind the pillars, and through the glass screen, a figure was seen walking slowly towards them;
The visitor turned out to be one of the masters participating in the trial by combat; Hirotoshi Akutsu (Chapter 216), who had a brilliant performance.

Akutsu still had that disgusting, careless look on his face, clapped his hands, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Today I really opened my eyes. The gangster legend Kondo actually has a soft spot and would condescend to plead for others~ I am so moved~"

Yamagami Toru also recognized the other party: "Bounty hunter, a cunning guy like you should have taken a starship and left this place long ago."

"There's a saying in our business: Fortune comes from risk. The more dangerous it is, the more profitable it is."

"Tell me, how much did old man Kondo pay you for working so hard for him?"

"Guess~"

"Akujin, I advise you to mind your own business. No matter how rich you are, you won't be able to spend it if you lose your life." Tetsuya threatened.

"There's nothing I can do. People are always greedy, never satisfied, always wanting more~"

Akutsu Hirotoshi walked up to Kondo Isao and gave him an exaggerated salute:
"Old man, these ruthless people want to kill you. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't do anything.

You have to stay here today, but your granddaughter can still be saved."

After saying that, Akutsu spread out one palm and smiled obscenely.

Kondo Isao knew very well what kind of person this person was. He glared at him unhappily and then sighed.
He had been forced into a corner with no way out, so he could only trust this villain. He took off a crystal clear ring-shaped jade pendant from his belt and placed it in the other's hand.

Akutsu is nominally a bounty hunter and is controlled by the Hunter's Guild, but secretly he often engages in smuggling, robbery, and fraud.
As someone who often sells stolen goods, he has a keen eye for identifying cultural relics. He knew at a glance that the jade pendant was definitely something special.
This jade is a secret treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Kondo family. The interior of the jade is engraved with Indian Buddhist scriptures using the "micro-carving" technique.

Whether from the perspective of artistic appreciation or historical research value, this jade pendant is a priceless treasure. When it is brought to an auction, it will be a sought-after item that collectors will pay huge sums of money to buy.

After handing over the jade pendant, the old man pointed at Kondo Ayaka and said, "You have already received your commission, bounty hunter. Promise me that you will safely return my granddaughter to the home planet of Terra, to the castle of my relatives."

"Don't worry, I will do it, Mr. Kondo~"

Akutsu put away the jade pendant and bowed 90 degrees.

After doing all this, Kondo Isao breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and saw the corpses scattered all over the ground in the castle tower.
Those loyal gang leaders never betrayed him until their death, but he never treated them well and would often beat, scold and humiliate them.

Kondo Isao felt regretful and bowed deeply. He did not use the common language but spoke in his hometown dialect:
"Shen し訳ありませんが, all さん... private は目があっても玉がない,

あなたたちに神し訳ありませんが、かえっておべっかを使っているRicheり者を优 encounterしています...”

(I'm sorry, everyone... I'm blind and ashamed of you. Instead, I favor those flattering traitors...)
After saying that, he lifted his cloak, pulled out an antique musket from the Warring States Period from behind the general's armor, and lit the fuse on the trigger with a lighter.

Akutsu Hirotomo was startled and quickly jumped away from the old man, thinking:
(Matchlock gun... this broken thing must be a cultural relic in his collection...)"

"Old ghost! Who are you trying to scare with this broken thing?! Put it down!" The people of the Sanwang Society shouted, and they all raised their weapons.

Hundreds of black gun muzzles were pointed at this old and frail underworld legend:
The general armor that the Kondo family was proud of was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets.
If Kondo Isao dares to act rashly, he will be beaten to a pulp immediately.

Kondo Ayaka released Chen Xing's ankles and yelled "Grandpa!"

The little girl wanted to run over and hug the old man, but Chen Xing grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and held her up in the air, using her as a human shield. His expression became distorted and terrifying because of hatred:
"Old man! Come on! Shoot!

Hit her right in the heart! Don’t you care about her very much? ! "

Kondo Isao was stunned for a few seconds, then bent over and held his stomach and laughed.

Just when everyone thought the old man had gone mad, Kondo Isao suddenly raised the gun, pointed it at his own chin and pulled the trigger.
Although the short-barreled musket has poor accuracy, it is still powerful, especially when the powder pool is filled with gunpowder.

There was a loud noise and thick smoke coming from the muzzle, and the 13MM caliber spherical bullet easily penetrated Kondo Isao's skull and helmet.
The brain tissue inside the skull was blasted out through the big hole in the helmet...
