Translator: Paperplane, Zenobys
“Ah… My hand! I’ve lost all feeling in my hands!” The woman in yellow suddenly let out a horrific screech. Then, she raised both her frozen hands and blew them with her little mouth as hard as she could.
Han Moze continued to hug Liu Rushuang as they walked.
At that very moment, all the surrounding girls who wanted to get close to Han Moze automatically retreated a few steps. That man is frightening!
Liu Rushuang grinned in satisfaction.
“The deputy mayor has arrived!” All of a sudden, a loud and clear voice came from the stage.
Han Moze and Liu Rushuang’s eyes immediately turned to the stage.
All they could see was a man and a woman walk to the center of the stage. Evidently, they were the deputy mayor and his wife.
The handsome deputy mayor was dressed in white with a navy blue outer robe. He looked around thirty years old with a sharp face, distinguished facial features, and was overall elegant. He seemed like both a scholar and a chivalrous person.
The deputy mayor’s wife, Qin Siyue wore a purple and white dress. She had an oval face with captivating almond-shaped eyes, red glossy lips, and a young woman of around twenty years old. Her hair was combed high into a topknot with a row of teardrop-shaped, white jade which made her complexion look even more dazzling.
However, Liu Rushuang didn’t look too enthusiastic at the sight of the deputy and Qin Siyue. Her eyes were transfixed at the person tied up on the torture rack behind the two. To her surprise, the person upon the rack was Nangong Ba.
“W-what’s going on?” Asked l in shock, as she stood below the stage.
Han Moze squinted at Nangong Ba in an ashy-white robe with his sprawled loosely across half his face, then replied, “It looks like the deputy is pubically executing Nangong Ba!”
Liu Rushuang violently clenched her fists and looked at the deputy and Qin Siyue with murderous intent in her eyes.
“Everybody! Today, we gathered everyone here to make an announcement. That is Nangong Ba, the mayor of White Cloud City and the murderer of our former mayor! Today, I will avenge the death of my brother!” cried the deputy with a resounding voice.
With the deputy’s words, those in the pugilist world and other citizens were left stunned. Nangong Ba had actually killed his own adoptive father?
“What proof do you have to accuse me of killing his own adoptive father? From what I see, you’re the one fabricating all this!” Jin Yuyao screamed angrily from beneath the stage. You could tell with just one look that this deputy was a two-faced jerk. The hell she was going to believe what he said.
“Yes! Deputy, bring out the evidence!” yelled another member of the pugilist world.
Yes! Yes… The repeated sounds of agreement below the stage rang.
Lin Chenyi, the deputy, calmly smiled.
All of a sudden, six or seven elders of the Lin family got up on stage. The leader with a white beard and a terrifyingly ominous glint in his eyes stepped forward to shout in anger.
“Everybody, if you don’t believe the deputy, then can you believe me, Old Xiu? I am the second uncle of the former mayor and I saw that evil creature kill the mayor with my own eyes. However, that evil creature knows the demonic technique of confusion, so he ordered the former mayor to transfer all his businesses and power to himself after his death. Wouldn’t you all say that this evil creature is… heinous?!”
Another elder stepped forward and continued, “So, the deputy mayor shall take his place as mayor of White Cloud City, and this evil creature deserves a public execution!”
Qin Siyue smirked in satisfaction and took two graceful steps forward.
“Everybody, the beauty contest will resume as usual, and the woman who wins can choose between being awarded ten million taels or have Nangong Ba. However, the nerves in Nangong Ba’s entire body have been severed. I think nobody will want to marry him anymore.” She cried with an evil smile.
