The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 512: I’m Kindhearted

Hearing this, Obadiah Stan, who knew he was doomed, let out a loud, mad laugh.

"Hahahahaha, I knew it, demons only kill! They don’t save!"

"Remember! Tony, Pepper died because of your hypocrisy!"

"The weapons you created can’t bring peace to the world, they will only bring about greater disasters!!"

With a complex look, Tony Stark glanced at Obadiah Stan, opened his palm to reveal the dazzling [Greed Coin], and looked at the boy in black with a pleading gaze.

"I beg you."

Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips awkwardly.

"It’s not that I won’t save him... sigh... never mind..."

With a helpless sigh, Zhu Haomiao slid his finger open, squeezing out a Blood Pearl and dropped it into Pepper’s mouth.

In an instant, a vast flood of life surged into her flesh, granting the fragile human body temporary extraordinary self-healing ability!

"Mmm..."

A painful moan emitted from her throat, Pepper convulsing and trembling all over, a sickly flush appearing on her pale face.

In just a few minutes, the girl on the brink of death had fully recovered, opening her eyes in a daze, and instinctively touching Tony’s cheek.

"Tony, am I dead?"

Gazing tenderly and dotingly at Pepper, Tony shook his head with a smile.

"No, remember this?"

He waved a lavish gold coin in front of her, showing a bright smile.

"With this, even if you fall into Hell, I’ll bring you back!"

Saying this, Tony Stark handed the coin to the boy in black, nodding in gratitude.

"Thank you."

However, Zhu Haomiao just chuckled and shook his head.

"Keep it, consider it a grand opening special, buy one get one free."

Hearing this, Tony Stark was slightly taken aback, then solemnly nodded, carefully placing the coin back into the pendant Pepper wore close to her skin.

Immediately, Zhu Haomiao turned around, looking at Obadiah Stan, whose consciousness was already unclear due to excessive blood loss, and swallowed expectantly.

Gulp~

The shadow under the boy’s feet squirmed like a living creature, as if opening the Door of the Abyss, where a snake head as large as a small mountain gradually emerged from the massive shadow.

Upon seeing that terrifying monster, Tony and Little Pepper’s pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks, instinctively clinging tightly to each other.

"Tony, what is that?"

"Don’t ask, I have no idea either!"

"Tony, Zhu... Mr. Zhu... is a Fallen Angel?!"

Only then did Pepper truly see the boy’s magnificent and beautiful Dark Wings and shiver involuntarily.

It was the primal fear a mortal feels when facing a higher-dimensional being.

"Maybe..."

Tony Stark stared unwaveringly at the boy in black, shaking his head with a complex expression.

But as he watched the hideous giant snake open its bloody maw, he couldn’t help but speak.

"Zhu!"

"Hmm? What is it?"

Both his body and Dharma Form paused simultaneously, the hideous giant snake mirroring the boy’s actions, turning to look back, its icy and cruel green vertical pupils making Tony’s scalp tingle.

"Could you... spare his life?"

Pointing at the pale-faced Obadiah Stan, Tony boldly requested.

"He’s already like this, no longer a threat, just let him spend the rest of his days in prison."

However, the boy in black slightly tilted his head, raising the corners of his mouth with a teasing cruelty.

"No, I’m too kind-hearted, can’t stand such womanish charity."

As soon as the words were out, the hideous giant snake behind him snapped up Obadiah Stan, tossing him into the air, then opened its greedy maw.

Slurp~

At the instant Obadiah fell into the snake’s mouth, the massive jaws filled with sharp tusks snapped shut, producing a chilling, crisp chewing sound.

Crunch crunch~

The cracking sound of breaking bones filled everyone’s ears, and Tony forcefully pressed Pepper against his chest, not letting her witness the cruel scene.

Watching that joyfully swaying terrifying giant snake, Tony Stark shifted his gaze with a complex expression, staring at the boy in black, who was lost in ecstasy, a hint of dread deep in his pupils.

All this time, he had only seen the kind and amiable side of Zhu Haomiao.

Several times, he had saved him at critical moments, making Tony develop goodwill towards him.

Feeling indebted, he thought that even if in the end Zhu were to demand his soul, he’d be willing.

But today, he witnessed with his own eyes a cruel and merciless evil side that no one knew about.

Though this didn’t shake his heart of gratitude, as a Child of Destiny with a great responsibility, he instinctively considered what to do if Zhu were to threaten the whole world.

Just a moment’s hesitation brought him an answer.

Kindness is kindness; responsibility is responsibility!

If Zhu indeed leads to slaughter and suffering, even at the cost of his own life, he must stop him!

Meanwhile, not noticing Tony Stark clenching his fist in secret, Zhu Haomiao indulged in delightful enjoyment, savoring the exquisite and thick Source Quality flowing through his esophagus, infusing into the void stomach pouch, bringing a subtle sense of fullness.

While it was far less "nutritious" than the Holy Spirit, the [Heavenly Destiny] Qi Fortune it contained still granted Zhu Haomiao a momentary satisfaction within his endless hunger.

[Gluttony] devours the Source Quality

All Attributes +40 (20×200%)

[Greed]: LV.0→LV.4

[Jealousy]: LV.4→LV.5

Indeed, the driving force behind Hate is [Anger], and the driving force behind Obadiah Stan is [Jealousy] and [Greed].

These significant [sidekicks], and the [Heavenly Destiny] Qi Fortune they possess are almost only second to the [Main Character] in their storylines!

The "nutrition" is a thousand times more than that of a common descender!

Smacking his lips, Zhu Haomiao snapped back to reality, glancing at Tony Stark’s uneasy face, and shook his head helplessly.

"Tony, mercy is a virtue, but to show mercy to evil is to harm goodness."

"......"

Listening to Zhu Haomiao’s muttered words, watching his solemn and righteous demeanor, and then looking at the black wings behind him, alongside the hideous writhing giant snake, Tony Stark pursed his lips tightly with an indescribable absurdity of the Dao Fan Tiangang.

Do you even listen to yourself?

Isn’t the greatest evil you?

How about putting away that demon snake before you speak!

He opened his mouth to speak, but Tony dared not retort in the end, only giving a polite yet awkward smile.

"Yes, I’ve learned."

Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded satisfactorily, retracting the [Gluttony] giant snake, and his wings transformed into a cloak that hung down as he casually opened the Starfire Gate.

"Settle the aftermath yourself; don’t bother me unless necessary!"

Waving his hand with his back towards them, the boy in black casually stepped into the Teleportation Gate, disappearing in the dazzling shrinking circle of fire.

Only after he left did Tony and Little Pepper look at each other in disarray, meeting each other’s eyes amidst the chilly wind.

"Mr. Zhu, is he truly good or evil?"

"Can we really trust him?"

Opening the pendant, Pepper stroked the fine pattern of the [Greed Coin], murmuring in confusion.
