Chapter 73: Reasons for Revenge

Shi Muxiong once had a happy family.

His parents were "immigrants" who came here to seek development when the City of Chaos was first established.

My parents built a small hotel here, which was barely their own business. It was at that time that they had Shi Muxiong.

Ishi Muxiong was born here, grew up here, and met his wife here. He is a complete local.

Born and raised in the City of Chaos, Shi Muxiong didn't think there was anything wrong with the City of Chaos. Rather, he thought it was very good because he met his angel here.

But the good times did not last long. Just when Ishi Muxiong and his girlfriend were preparing to get married, his parents were involved in a gang fight and both died.

During this most difficult time, it was Shi Muxiong's girlfriend who took care of him, comforted him, and helped him take care of everything in the hotel.

At that time, Shi Muxiong knew that he had to marry this woman.

The days that followed were uneventful. On a clear night, Ishi Muxiong proposed to his girlfriend at home, and then the two got married naturally.

His wife changed her name to Ishikumeko, and within two years they had their own child. A well-behaved and lovely little angel was born into their family.

Ishikio named her Miu.

Ishiki Miu.

Ishi Muxiong's life is happy up to this point. In this chaotic city, he has his own business, his own savings and connections, and he has a wife and daughter who he loves and who also loves him. Such a life has surpassed 80% of the people in this chaotic city.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shi Muxiong will live a peaceful and stable life until he grows old. He will witness his daughter grow up, watch her fall in love with someone else, watch her get married, and have her own family and children.

Then Ishikio will hand over his hotel to his daughter, and he and his wife will start traveling around the world.

He had already planned everything and was just waiting to implement it step by step.

But sometimes, accidents happen in just a moment.

Just one year ago, on my daughter’s birthday, my wife and daughter went to the mall to buy clothes and buy her favorite gift for their cutest and most beloved little princess.

This should have been a happy day. Shi Muxiong prepared cake and dinner at home, waiting for his wife and daughter to come back happily after shopping for clothes.

But when the evening came, Shi Muxiong received the bad news about his wife and daughter.

Jim from the Skeleton Gang went crazy that day in the mall for some unknown reason and suddenly started attacking passers-by.

That day, Jim hurt many people and broke up many families. Unfortunately, Ishi Muxiong's wife and daughter died at Jim's hands.

When Shi Muxiong learned the bad news, he was unable to react for a long time. He even thought he was dreaming.

It was not until he saw the bodies of his wife and daughter in the hospital morgue that he finally realized that it was not a dream.

it is true.

A perfect, hopeful and envied family was destroyed in an instant.

Jim should have been punished for going crazy and killing people in the daytime, even though he was a member of the Skull Gang. At that time, Ishikio naively believed that Jim would get the punishment he deserved.

However, the reality is that the Skull Gang said that Jim was exchanging fire with another gang member at the time and the passerby was killed accidentally.

Manslaughter...

Behind the simple words "manslaughter by mistake" are several innocent lives and broken families.

Shi Muxiong didn't even know how he got through that period.

Needless to say, what happened next can already be guessed.

The laws of the City of Chaos cannot protect Shi Muxiong and cannot bring him the fairness he deserves, so Shi Muxiong will pursue that fairness on his own.

He sold his three-story hotel, his home, and spent all his savings to hire mercenaries to help get rid of Jim and Jim's family.

Of course, he also knew that his only enemy was Jim, and there was no reason to vent his anger on others.

But he wanted to ask why.

Why is it that Jim's family can live well while his own family is broken up?

Why should I be alone while the culprit can enjoy the rare family happiness?

Anger and hatred overwhelmed Ishi Muxiong's few remaining rationalities. From the moment he decided to take revenge, he had already stepped into darkness and could not turn back.

So he decided to kill Jim's wife and his children.

Jim ruined his family, and he ruined Jim's family.

Fair enough, isn't it?

……

This is a cliché revenge story.

Molly thought.

But this story can indeed arouse the sympathy of others.

Unlike the calmness when they first met, Shi Muxiong's eyes were red as he stood here. He pointed his gun at Yager, who was tied to a chair, and told him his story, and asked loudly:

"So... why should I let him go?! Why should I let him go just because he's innocent?! He's innocent, so do Muzi and Miyu deserve to die?! Do they deserve to die?!"

"..."

Molly was speechless, she couldn't answer.

The cowboy looked at Yager who was tied to the chair. The poor boy had woken up, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't even utter a sound to beg for mercy. He just looked at Ishi Muxiong with tears and fear on his face, and the filth under his body soaked his pants.

Looking at Yager, the cowboy looked back at Molly.

He thought Molly would stand up at this moment to stop Shi Muxiong from killing Yager, but looking at Molly's appearance, she seemed to have no intention of stopping him.

It’s not that Molly didn’t intend to stop it, she just didn’t know how to stop it.

As the saying goes, one should not advise others to be kind unless one has experienced their suffering. It is easy for me to persuade Ishi Muxiong to be magnanimous, but what about Ishi Muxiong himself?

Put yourself in his shoes. If Molly were in Shi Muxiong's position, having experienced the tragedy of having her wife and children separated from her and her family broken up, and now meets the son of her enemy, would she really let him go just because he is innocent?

Molly felt that if it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing as letting the person go.

But Molly had to stop it because when Lydia died, she nodded and promised Lydia to take care of Yager.

Molly thinks that she is not a good person now, but there are still some principles that need to be followed, such as keeping promises.

As for this, Molly has actually been reflecting deeply. When she is not sure whether she can do something, she must not easily nod and agree.

Molly now deeply realized her mistake of agreeing too decisively before. Because of her insignificant conscience, she felt inappropriate sympathy for Lydia and agreed to her last wish before her death...

It's enough to have done this once. Remember this mistake in the future and never make it again.

While reflecting in her heart, Molly was thinking about how she should stop it.

But the cowboy seemed to see what Molly was thinking. Before Molly could take any action, he took the lead and stood in front of Ishi Muxiong.

Grabbing the other's gun with one hand and moving the muzzle away, the cowboy looked straight into Ishikio's eyes, which were filled with hatred, and said seriously:

"Mr. Shimu, no one deserves to die. Your wife and daughter are like this, he..."

The cowboy said, looking back at Yager who was tied to the chair: "...So is it."

"Are you going to stop me?"

Shi Muxiong asked hatefully.

The cowboy was silent for two seconds, then said, "I just don't want you to regret it."

"Will I regret it? How could I possibly regret it! I really want to chop this guy into pieces, how could I possibly regret it!!"

If it wasn't a mission to capture Jim and Lydia alive, the bid would be higher than expected, and Ishi Muxiong's commission would not be to kill, but to capture alive.

How he wished he could kill his enemies with his own hands.

But unfortunately, he didn't have that ability and could only entrust professionals to do it.

Now, although he failed to kill his enemy with his own hands, he could kill his enemy's child. How could Ishi Muxiong give up this opportunity?

"Mr. Shimu, so far, your hands have not been stained with any blood. Although you commissioned us, we were the ones who killed people. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with you. In this way, you... can still ascend to heaven and reunite with your wife and daughter.

"But if you want to kill someone, there is no turning back. Mr. Shimu, do you want to go to hell and say goodbye to your wife and daughter forever, or do you want to go to heaven and meet your wife and daughter again?"

The cowboy persuaded again, and in a religious way.

There are also religions in the City of Chaos, and there are quite a few of them.

Just in Christianity, there are many sects stationed here, and therefore the concepts of heaven and hell are quite popular among ordinary people.

It is better to say that it is precisely because the world is in such a terrible state that people place their hopes on religion, no matter what era it is.

Ishi Muxiong is not very religious, but he believes in these things in his heart.

So when the cowboy finished saying this, he put down his pistol with tears streaming down his face, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly with his hands covering his cheeks:

"Then...what should I do! Meko...Miyu...what should I do!"

Shi Muxiong cried sadly, but the cowboy was relieved and gave Molly a look that said "Done".

Molly silently gave the cowboy a thumbs-up.

It must be said that the cowboy's reaction was indeed very quick. If it were Molly, she probably wouldn't have been able to think of this reason to stop it, and there's no telling how things would have developed.

Shi Muxiong was crying, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances and resentment.

Molly and Cowboy stood by without any comfort, waiting for Ishikuni to calm down and make a decision.

But they didn't have to wait long before Shi Muxiong recovered.

With red eyes, he stood in front of Yager and said to him:

"You probably don't know who I am, so let me tell you, your parents died indirectly at my hands. I am the murderer of your father and mother, but I did this because, I believe you have heard clearly just now, your father destroyed my family first, so I did this.

“You shouldn’t feel resentment, and you can’t feel resentment, because your parents are scumbags among scumbags, and they deserve to die.

"But they deserve to die, and you are innocent. I agree with that, so I plan to let you go. I don't ask for anything else from you. I just hope that you don't become like your parents in the future and do more good deeds... Okay?"

Shi Muxiong said this to Yager.

Yager didn't know whether he heard it clearly or not. He stared at Shi Muxiong in a daze and didn't recover for a long time.

After a while, the fear on Yag's face dissipated a little, replaced by a little confusion and sadness.

But surprisingly, there was no resentment on Yager's face. He seemed to understand something, so after thinking for a long time, he nodded to Shi Muxiong very seriously.

Shi Muxiong and Yager looked at each other for a long time, as if they wanted to see something else from this boy's eyes.

Finally, Shi Muxiong withdrew his gaze, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and cut the rope on Yag.

He originally intended to use this dagger to torture Yager, but he didn't expect that it would bring Yager a chance of life.

But Yag, who was released, did not run away immediately.

He stood in front of Ishi Muxiong, bowed to him as if to thank him or to apologize, then turned around and ran away without looking back, escaping from the abandoned warehouse.

Chapter 74: Hoping for a Paradise in This World

Yager was let go by Shi Muxiong just like that.

Ishi Muxiong, who let him run away, sat in his seat as if he had lost all his strength.

After a while, Shi Muxiong remembered that Cowboy and Molly had not left yet. He looked up at the two of them and said:

"The commission is over. I will transfer the balance to you later. You can leave now."

"Are you OK?"

The cowboy asked worriedly.

Shi Muxiong's face was calm, as if he was not the one who was crying just now.

He waved his hand at the cowboy and said:

"I'm fine, you guys go."

Cowboy and Molly looked at each other, and then they both left the warehouse, leaving Ishi Muxiong alone here.

The abandoned warehouse is not big. Apart from a few broken chairs, there are all kinds of messy sundries, and human feces can be seen in the corners.

At night, this place is probably where some homeless people live, so it looks rather messy and smells bad.
