I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 473 - 104: Severing Hatred

Hearing Caliduo's promise, Tian En finally curled her lips into a faint smile.

The election campaign desperately needed financial support. In the past, Mokaka had some money, but it was merely pocket money given by her father. Compared to candidates supported by financial conglomerates, it was downright pitiful; even her speeches could only be delivered online.

But now, with the support of Hugo Pharmaceutical, Mokaka's election campaign is not a sure win, but her chances of success have increased significantly.

As long as the election is won, it would mean a successful step into the political arena, paving the way for a vast future.

"But speaking of which, Dolores... you're really not going to kill me?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

In the end, Caliduo couldn't help but ask an inappropriate question.

You couldn't blame him; after all, when Tian En wiped out the entire Fenshuang family, her methods were too ruthless, making it hard for Caliduo to believe the current girl would let him go so easily.

"Violence only begets more violence, and hatred breeds more hatred."

Tian En did not look into Caliduo's eyes again, simply saying calmly, "Rather than vengeance as an emotional release, I've found something more meaningful."

"Since the real culprit has already been executed, let it end."

"We should all move on to new lives."

With that, Tian En said nothing more, simply turning away.

She had planned to accompany Mokaka, but the trauma squad's surgery required a sterile environment, so after hesitating for a moment, she didn't follow.

The Trauma Company's medical methods were undoubtedly much stronger than hers.

"Let Miss Mokaka have a good recovery."

She thought silently.

And Caliduo, after a moment of silence, nodded and left with the hovering medical vehicle.

...

"Although I don't know exactly what's going on, it seems they've reconciled."

Watching the gradually departing hovercar, Jiang Wuji crossed his arms and said casually, "It looks quite touching."

"Touching, huh..."

Yun You glanced at this senior brother, softly teasing, "But why do I feel like your mood hasn't changed at all?"

After their recent conversation, the two had become quite familiar with each other.

Yun You had also figured out this senior brother's personality—although he was not young, he was carefree, with a touch of a streetwise demeanor, and even a bit of playful cunning, but overall he had a ranger-like character.

So in front of Jiang Wuji, the little girl didn't put on any formal air, treating him more like a friend, and occasionally making small jokes.

"This is just about keeping an unreadable expression, how can it be called having no emotional fluctuation?"

Jiang Wuji gently patted Yun You's little head, smiling: "The old man taught us long ago, saying the most taboo thing for us apprentice death gods is to let others easily perceive our thoughts."

"Wearing a mask to cover the face is a good method, like you do, but I don't like putting too many things on my face and I don't like being expressionless, so I just smile more often."

"Isn't that what they always say—smile, and you'll be ten years younger; this way, maybe you can live a bit longer."

Although his words made some sense, Yun You couldn't help but ask, "But in front of fellow apprentices, is it really necessary? After all, we're all on the same team..."

"..."

For some reason, after hearing this, the originally talkative Jiang Wuji suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, he shook his head, indicating Yun You should not continue this topic.

Could it be that fellow apprentices are not of one heart?

Yun You found it even harder to understand.

But out of respect for the senior brother, she did not press further.

"Speaking of which, how should we deal with this island afterward?"

The little girl stomped on the Floating Island underfoot, whispering, "Such a large public facility being damaged by us, the Nest City Council won't just let it go, right?"

The Nest City Council never takes losses quietly.

Though this operation was resolved with Jiang Wuji's intervention, successfully preventing the Floating Island from directly crashing and causing irreversible damage to the prison area, and saving countless lives, the Floating Island itself was still damaged.

If it were to be repaired, wouldn't it cost billions of Silver Cannon...

The council could not possibly let it go unaccounted for.

"Oh, this..."

Jiang Wuji touched his chin, casually saying, "Before I came, the old man told me to handle everything, but preferably keep things by the book and not blow things up too much."

"Of course, the most important thing is definitely to protect you."

"I know, his intention was for me not to always think about opposing the council and seeking trouble for them, so the best method is negotiation; maybe offer some money, give the council a way out."

"But after thinking carefully, even the lowest level of compensation, neither of us can afford."

Saying this, he rummaged in his pocket but only managed to pull out a few pitiable coins after searching for a while.

"Your senior brother is extravagant with money and never saves any, and you may own a company, but the cash you can muster would be at most tens of millions, far from satisfying the council's appetite."

"In that case, let's simply not compensate, after all, fundamentally it's not your fault but their own engine cutting corners."

During this time, Yun You had explained everything that happened on the island, except for her own ability, to this senior brother.

So in his view, the little girl should not be held responsible for the Floating Island's fall.

If there's no responsibility, what's the need for compensation?

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Hearing Jiang Wuji say this, Yun You grinned, feeling reassured.

Being able to get through this without paying any price would indeed be the best result.

But just as she intended to say something more, in the distance, two figures streaked across the sky like meteors and flew onto the Floating Island in an instant.

One of the figures was Akun, the head of Floating Island's monitoring department, whom they had met before with Jiang Wuji.

At this moment, he had lost his previously somewhat composed demeanor, being carried like a chick by someone else.

And the one carrying him, the other black silhouette, was a middle-aged man of forty or fifty years old, with red hair and black eyes, medium build but appearing robust due to his tight suit.

He treated gravity beneath him as non-existent, hovering in mid-air, coldly overlooking everything below, perpetually exuding a volcano-like volatile aura.

"Speak."

He glanced at Akun with his periferal vision, saying solemnly, "Who is the creator of the mechanical tree?"

"You should have seen everything."

"..."

Akun had his head down, a sweetened wind brushed against his cheek, filling his mouth with sweetness, but he felt bitterness in his heart.

Everything was going well; he had successfully met Jiang Wuji, and might have relied on a photo with a powerful figure to escape being held accountable in the future...

But who could have known, suddenly a guest crashed into the scene midway.

The suited man had begun to make his way here almost as soon as Jiang Wuji acted, finding Akun in less than ten minutes, and dragged him by his collar, demanding him to identify the owner of the tree and the culprit behind the Floating Island's fall.

If Akun spoke, he would immediately offend Jiang Wuji, but if he didn't, the suited man could take his life at any moment.

Though his family was influential, being in key positions in the Nest City Council for generations, almost reaching the top level in the "Police" sector...

In front of the suited man and the forces behind him, his entire family was like ants, differing from the commoners only in that it might take slightly more effort to crush them.

"Sorry, Brother Rebellion... I have no other choice!"

After struggling internally for a long time, Akun still reached out with a trembling hand, pointing apologetically at Jiang Wuji and Yun You below.

"It's... it's them..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the suited man casually let go of Akun, with his hawk-like eyes slowly moving onto the brother and sister.

The next moment, a "Sword Shield" emblem appeared on his forehead.

It was the mark of the [Guard] Sequence.

But unlike the typical Guard emblem, the suited man's Sword Shield mark was more ornate, with three blades.

This was the special design of a high-level Sequence.

This man's strength was definitely above Tier Four!
