Why, why are you doing this to me?

A tremendous sense of shock exploded in Tachibana Masamune's heart.

His retreating figure stumbled and fell backward, but he still braced himself with his hands on the ground and kept kicking his legs backward, trying to get as far away from Lin Ye, this devil.

Although his vision was very blurry, he vaguely knew that Lin Ye was smiling, a very bright smile, as if he was excited about the upcoming torture and death of him.

Tachibana Masamune was internally devastated. What kind of disgusting pervert had he encountered? He was a thousand times more disgusting than himself.

"Why would I do this to you? Old friend, have you forgotten how you stabbed me in the back? Power, wealth, status, everything you have today was taken from me, Dr. Herzog."

Lin Ye deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice, pronouncing the guy's real name.

Lightning bolted down from the depths of the clouds, seemingly exploding in Tachibana Masamune's heart.

He shuddered violently, and the shock he felt upon hearing Lin Ye call out his real name was beyond words.

"You are, you are!!!"

Tachibana Masamune gasped in shock, his voice trembling with barely concealed fear.

Along his journey, he encountered almost no adversaries. Even the most powerful enemies were easily manipulated by him. Even after his defeat in that war, he was still able to survive in that port and live a life free from want.

He even managed to obtain a pure-blooded dragon in the Arctic to continue his experiments until he reached that forbidden door.

He even saw the hope of immortality.

He is cunning and powerful, and any adversary who targets him will face a miserable end.

But it must be admitted that there was one person, a man, who was enough to make him a true opponent, even an evenly matched one, and he almost died in that icy and snowy place.

Bondarev!

That fox-like man was truly cunning, yet possessed a towering charisma. Herzog still vividly remembers his agile and athletic physique, his handsome slicked-back hair, and his undeniable charm.

Back in Siberia in the Arctic, even the usually cautious Herzog couldn't ignore the charm of this fox-like man. At that moment, Herzog felt that cooperating with such a man would increase the chances of success many times over.

He did indeed possess the secret to becoming a god, but this plan could not be truly implemented by his own strength alone. Even if he eventually died of old age, the plan might not even be half completed. That's why Bondarev's appearance at that time tempted him.

The story goes that a man posing as a Tsarist nobleman, claiming to be from a powerful family, came from afar and offered to invest a considerable sum in his research. How could Herzog, who was already struggling financially, not be tempted?

Bondarev's offer was a timely help, demonstrating sufficient sincerity and ambition, which caused Herzog to temporarily lower his guard and defenses, a rare occurrence for him.

Deal done!

Just as he was about to leave Black Swan Harbor, this same fox-like man shot him in the heart again. The boy was still as charismatic and powerful as ever, firing without even blinking, even though they had just been drinking whiskey together, celebrating the successful conclusion of their collaboration.

However, unexpectedly, fate still favored this devil.

Just when he thought he was in dire straits, he not only survived, but also turned the tables on Bondarev in the Japanese seas, a truly exhilarating counterattack.

He has come a long way to become the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the King of the Demon Clan.

He uses shadow warriors to control Japan's two most powerful forces, one overt and one covert, directly controlling the country. In a sense, he is the king of this country.

He even secretly maintains a powerful army of Deadpools, capable of launching a war at any time if he so desires.

Moreover, he also possesses the secret to becoming a god, a plan that has been secretly implemented for decades, and now there is even hope for it.

All the glory and prosperity beckoned to him, but to this day, Herzog still harbors a shadow in his heart.

This shadow is Bondarev.

Herzog sometimes found it hard to believe that the man was really dead, even though he had pulled the trigger himself and mowed him down with a machine gun.

Just as he himself possessed a shadow warrior, how could Bondarev, this cunning fox, not have a backup plan?

Sometimes he would imagine that what he had actually killed wasn't Bondarev himself, but rather some kind of double, so that when he achieved fame and success, this guy would leisurely come out and reap the rewards.

They might appear right at his bedside, and when he wakes up, he'll see the other person staring at him, just waiting for him to wake up, and then say something sarcastic, like, "Old friend, you've had a tough time all these years, goodbye," before shooting him in the heart twice.

Herzog is always awakened by this nightmare, which he has had almost every few years over the years.

That's why he couldn't wait to implement his plan to become a god.

As long as I can become a god!

Regardless of whether everything before was a trap or conspiracy set by Bondarev, as long as one becomes a god, one can possess the most terrifying and powerful force in the world.

Even if Bondarev were to reappear, he would crush him with one hand.

However, Lin Ye's words were something Herzog never expected: Bondarev was really not dead, and had already come looking for him ahead of time!

This was a situation Herzog never dared to imagine.

So all the fear that had been building up in her heart over the years exploded at this moment, crashing against Herzog's heart like a tidal wave.

"You...you must have mistaken me for someone else. I am not Herzog, I am Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. I am really not Herzog, and I don't know him!"

Tachibana Masamune almost blurted out whatever he wanted; he was completely panicked.

"Hehe, you've already forgotten your old friend? Don't be nervous. I'm not one of those creditors chasing after debts. Besides, these days it's all about who's in charge. Dr. Herzog, you need to toughen up and show that ruthless approach you had in the Arctic."

Lin Ye stepped forward, placed one foot on Tachibana Masamune's chest, then bent down and repeatedly slapped the man's terrified old face with the back of his sword.

“But I am not him. You must have mistaken me for someone else. I am not your old friend. I am just the patriarch Tachibana Masamune. Over the years, I have devoted myself to the Hebi-Hachi family. I have no friends at all. All my old friends have passed away. Every year I wear a black suit to pay my respects to them, but soon I will rush off to attend other important meetings.”

Tachibana Masamune's voice was almost humble.

He was trembling all over, completely terrified.

Bondarev was his curse, and now that curse has taken effect.

Herzog had no reason not to believe that the nobleman in front of him was Bondarev, because only the two of them knew that secret. So when the other man addressed him as Herzog, he knew that the other man was definitely Bondarev himself.

Moreover, the other party even appeared as a high-ranking official, clearly knowing everything he had done in Tokyo over the years. It was as if a real evil spirit was silently lurking beside him, making him gloat and smirk as he carried out his terrible plans, as he rose step by step to a higher position, and even as he was about to achieve great success.

Herzog was truly terrified; he was so frightened he almost wet himself.

The only people who knew the name Herzog were the wild ghosts at the Black Swan Harbor in the Arctic, but those guys have been completely buried under the permafrost.

"Tsk tsk, the glory of the Soviet Union will never fade, old friend. We swore an oath together there back then. Have you forgotten the strong taste of that vodka?" Lin Ye said with emotion.

He knew the original plot of the Dragon Raja, so he naturally knew Tachibana Masamune and Herzog very well. They also planned to use Bondarev's identity to achieve their own goals.

Therefore, he felt that appearing as Bondarev was the perfect opportunity to deliver a double blow to that old man Herzog.

"It's you! It really was you! You're not dead, you damned devil!!!"

Tachibana Masamune could no longer bear it.

He knew Lin Ye must have recognized him, so he spoke in a broken tone at this moment.

“Dr. Herzog, I am not worthy to be called a devil in front of you, because you are the devil. You beat me to death on that speedboat, and even poured gasoline on me and burned me, leaving me with no complete corpse. You also shamelessly took away all my research results.”

It is because of my research findings that you have achieved the glory you have today.

You are a shameless thief!

What's even worse is that you've paid tribute to so many old friends over the years, yet you wouldn't even pour a bottle of vodka on me, Doctor! You have no heart!

Lin Ye slowly and deliberately 'rebuked' the other party for their heartlessness and ingratitude.

It's like someone who's extremely resentful inside, yet seems ready to burst into laughter at any moment.

He slowly put on a pair of white gloves.

Then, with great seriousness, he took out a fierce electric drill from the huge package behind him.

The auger, as thick as a bowl, was coated with a dark red, spicy sauce.

These juices are the essence extracted from the super ghost pepper, extremely spicy. If you accidentally brush against an ordinary wound, you will definitely howl for three days and three nights.

All of these were meticulously prepared by Lin Ye.

With a whoosh, Lin Ye pulled the switch, and the electric drill immediately began to spin violently.

"Don't come over here!"

Tachibana Masamune was terrified and struggled to move.

"Doctor, please turn around, we're preparing to attack from behind!"

Lin Ye kicked Tachibana Masamune, knocking him to the ground.

"Let me show you what it feels like to ascend! Spicy Heavenly Deity!"

Then Lin Ye held the electric drill and stabbed down with extreme force.

Poof!

Next!

"Yahoo... Ahhh!"

A piercing scream came from Tachibana Masamune's mouth.

But in an instant, his screams were drowned out by the rolling thunder outside.

It seemed that everything that happened inside the main hall startled even the heavens and earth.

Chapter 87 Unbearable Pain! Adrenaline Rush!

[Ding! The host dealt a critical hit to Herzog, rewarding 100 points.]

[Ding! The host dealt a critical hit to Herzog, rewarding 100 points.]

……

[Ding! The host has dealt consecutive critical hits to Herzog, rewarding 500 points.]

……

A cold, robotic notification echoed in my mind.

Lin Ye never realized that his own system could be so adorable.

They gave points as a reward when they destroyed the God's Toilet before, and now they're giving them another reward when they're ravaging Herzog.

This system is really good!

Lin Ye was delighted and worked even harder with his hands.

"Heave-ho...heave-ho...I'm the hardworking gardener, hehe, all the flowers and plants need pruning, hehe, if any of them are not satisfied, snip snip, my little bottom will cut them into flowers for you."

Lin Ye sang a cheerful children's song.
