“It’s okay, it’s okay, the baby is fine.” Hong Dali held on tightly to the baby and descended slowly to the ground. He handed the child to a commoner next to him, then rushed to the mother who had fallen after being kicked. “Auntie, you are you okay?”
“Baby… where is my baby…” The lady’s face was streaked with fresh blood, but the first thing she asked about when she saw Hong Dali was her baby. “My baby…”
“Your baby is fine.” Hong Dali assured her. “I managed to catch her and someone is bringing her over now.”
At this point in time, Hong Dali hurried to direct the surrounding people. “Everyone, bring the injured to the hospital first. Hurry! Their lives may be in danger if there is any delay.”
“This… this…” When everyone saw that the armor-clad orange-level Honorary Aristocrat left his enemy to save the injured, they were first shocked then ecstatic. They all started working together to help the injured. Many of them even knelt down in front of Hong Dali. “Thank you, Lord Aristocrat, for saving our lives! Thank you, Lord Aristocrat, for saving our lives!”
“Move quickly!” Hong Dali shouted, “Move the injured and get away from here!”
“Okay!”
There was strength in numbers. Everyone first lifted the injured, then quickly left.
“Feiyun, I’m going to kill you!!” Once he had settled the surrounding commoners, Hong Dali clenched his fists so tight they almost burst and dashed directly into the shopping center!
Previously, he had been a simple-minded, happy prodigal with no worries. He was carefree. But today, he realized things in the universe were very much unlike on Earth!
In the universe, the level of technology was higher, and the difference between the different levels of the social hierarchy was more defined!
Commoners! Honorary Aristocrats! Galaxy Aristocrats! Level to level, the oppression was too much! The Aristocrats oppressed the commoners, and the commoners did not even dare to fight back! If they offended the Aristocrats, the consequences would be dire!
Here, if you did not have enough power, it was very hard to protect your friends!
The shopping center that Feiyun entered was a huge building that was about a hundred or so meters high. It covered an area of two hundred thousand square meters and was the largest building around the area.
After Feiyun dashed inside, he started setting fires!
“Hahaha! Since Hong Dali is so soft-hearted, his weakness is sure to become his weak spot. Hahaha!” Feiyun laughed maniacally. He had such power. With him setting fires unreservedly, the entire shopping center, which originally had a lot of oil-based and other flammable items, was soon burning fiercely. Even the fire sprinklers were unable to control the huge flames!
The fire grew bigger.
The thick smoke rolled.
“Ahh! Fire, everyone run!””Help!””Mama! Mama! Wahhh!””Dabao! Xiaobao! Be careful!”
“Hahahaha!” Feiyun roared maniacally and shouted, “Fear! Run! Be afraid! The more afraid you are, the angrier Hong Dali will be. He used a technological weapon. If I manage to kill him here, I will directly advance to orange-level Honorary Aristocrat. More resources! More benefits! Hahahahahaha!”
As he walked, the more he set things on fire. Soon, he reached the top floor, which was the fifteenth floor. Feiyun spread out his arms and laughed. “Cute lowly peasants, from now on, you will be my cute cannon fodder. Hahaha!”
“Boom—!!!”
A loud sound was heard. Hong Dali had crashed through the walls of the building to get inside! Once he entered, he first helped the injured by moving them all to a safe location, then he went back into the building again, step by step, looking for the perpetrator of all these, Feiyun!
“Hahaha! Hong Dali, are you looking for me?” Feiyun’s voice came from far above. “I am right here, above you. Yes, correct, level fifteen. Come, come, haha!”
“Feiyun!” Hong Dali was consumed with anger. Every step of his left a footprint. He growled. “I must kill you today!”
“Kill me? Hahahaha. Who are you to do that?” Feiyun’s voice laughed and said, “Just because of these lowly peasants? What a joke! What a joke! Hahahaha!
“We clawed through hundreds of millions of people to qualify for the test! Then we had to battle countless people and win before officially becoming exalted Honorary Aristocrats! How can these lowly peasants be compared to exalted Aristocrats like us? One hundred million commoners are not even worth as much as one exalted Honorary Aristocrat!
“But you, you who became an Honorary Aristocrat by pulling strings, how can you understand the difficulties of those of us who have clawed our way up?!”
One step at a time, Hong Dali moved forward. Soon, he arrived at the center of the fifteenth floor of the huge shopping center. Feiyun was right there!
Around him were hundreds of people. They were all hostages held by him! In his words, these were his cute cannon fodder!
“Just because of that,” Hong Dali looked at Feiyun and said slowly, “You can disregard the lives of these ordinary people and do whatever you wish? Who gave you that right?”
“Disregard?” Feiyun chuckled coldly. “That’s right, these ordinary people are nothing more than ants to me. Their days are ordinary—they eat, they sleep, and the cycle repeats. I was only trying to do them a favor and release them from their tedious lives earlier. But you,” Feiyun pointed at Hong Dali, “you want to be the upholder of justice? Stop dreaming! You wear the same clothing as us, you have the same position, Honorary Aristocrat! You, too, are an Honorary Aristocrat! You want to help them? You can, but it’s obvious you might not have the chance to do so.”
“Is that so?” Hong Dali looked straight into Feiyun’s eyes. “I can see that you did not use your full power when you were fighting with Brother Levis earlier. You are stronger than the other three. It seems that you have been holding back all along, right?”
“Hahaha, you are quite sharp.” Feiyun laughed and said, “That’s right, I have been hiding my true strength so they will drop their guard against me. When it’s time for the qualification test, I will be able to win easily! Speaking of which, I have to thank you for getting rid of them and following me here. Everything is in place now!
“You used a technological weapon to kill Honorary Aristocrats, that’s one charge against you! You caused the deaths of countless commoners, that’s another charge against you! With these two crimes, so what if you have connections? We have the right to kill you on the spot! Also!” Feiyun continued excitedly, “Once you are dead, I will have performed a great service and will be able to advance directly to orange-level Honorary Aristocrat! Manor, lands, riches, position! Everything that is yours will become mine! At that time, I will be a great hero! A hero who killed a despicable criminal! Hahahaha!”
“You plotted well, but…” Hong Dali’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Are you not afraid of retribution? In your heart, do you not have even a basic sense of justice?”
“Justice?” Feiyun paused and suddenly started laughing maniacally. He laughed so hard that he had to clutch his stomach. As he laughed, he said, “Justice?! Do you even need to ask? The champion is always just! Hahahaha! Have you ever seen a champion who said he was evil, the antagonist? Never, right? That means, so long as I kill you, I am just! I stand for justice! If I say you killed all these people, who would suspect me? Hahaha!”
“That makes sense.” Hong Dali nodded. “It seems I have to be the just one then.”
“I’m afraid you will not have the chance to do that!” Feiyun laughed evilly. “I am different from those idiots. I have only used 40% of my real power! Hahaha!”
While laughing maniacally, Feiyun made his move!
He did not attack Hong Dali directly. Instead, he stepped next to a hostage and lifted him clear off the ground. He said to Hong Dali, “You are very concerned about their lives, right? What a simple matter?”
The hostage struggled as he desperately pleaded for mercy. The tears streamed down his face as he wailed. “Lord Aristocrat, have mercy! Have mercy!”
“As cannon fodder, you should be honored…”
As he spoke, he threw the hostage into the fire that was burning fiercely at the side!
“How can you disregard human lives like that!” Hong Dali fumed. The Mechanical Holy Garment activated. He dashed forward and caught the hostage.
“Hahaha! So what?” Feiyun laughed. “I am an Honorary Aristocrat, an exalted Honorary Aristocrat! It is their honor to be able to die for me, haha!”
He threw another one.
The third one!
The fourth one!
Precious lives were thrown out like balls. Hong Dali was incensed. He gritted his teeth, but all he could do was save the hostages one by one.
“Wow, wow, wow. It seems that you are even more benevolent than I thought,” Feiyun exclaimed in surprise. “You saved all of them. This time let’s play something that’s more fun, hehe.”
He approached a shivering couple huddled together and said slowly, “Look, what a loving couple. I’m so touched…”
The young couple hugged each other close and trembled. They dared not raise their heads. The man pleaded desperately. “Lord Aristocrat, Lord Aristocrat, please spare us, please spare us! She just got pregnant, it’s not even been three months yet!” The woman only dared to cry softly. She was afraid that if she cried loudly, she might anger Feiyun.
“Three months? Haha, commoner, so what if she’s three months along? When it’s born, it’ll still be a lowly peasant, isn’t it?” Feiyun started laughing as he said, “But this is good. Things are getting exciting…” As he spoke, he kicked the man away and lifted the woman up with one hand.
He walked towards the stairs at one side of the building. There was an external elevator without railings there. Feiyun stretched his arm out and dangled the woman outside. Below was seventy to eighty meters of empty air!
“So, Hong Dali, hehe.” Feiyun smiled and said, “Once I let go, she will drop and, with a ‘splat’, become a meat patty. So, will you save her?”
“Feiyun! Don’t you dare!” Hong Dali said through gritted teeth, “If you dare let go, I swear I will chase you to the ends of the world and kill you!”
“Hahahaha! What a pompous proclamation. So…” As Feiyun spoke, he flexed his arm and suddenly threw the woman into the air!
