Having delayed for a full twenty minutes or more, Kevin felt very relaxed. With such a long time, the Young Master must have already reached a place of safety. Now, all that remained was to find an opportunity to leave Huaxia!
"The Scepter of Kings!" Kevin chuckled, "I really want to see the look of shock on those old men's faces at the Church when the Young Master returns with the Scepter of Kings!"
Suddenly, an Iron Mask Man appeared before Kevin: "Kevin!"
Kevin stopped: "Mr. Xiao? Has our Young Master arrived yet?"
This Iron Mask Man was none other than Xiao from the United Hearts Gang. He said to Kevin, "Les has already reached a safe place. Les asked me to come and give you a helping hand. But it seems now that you don't need my help anymore!"
Kevin smiled faintly: "Those guys from the Papal Court of Light can't keep me here. Let's go, we need to leave Yanjing immediately and return to the Church!"
Xiao nodded: "Indeed, Huaxia has become very dangerous for you now, so..."
As he spoke, Xiao suddenly struck, slamming a heavy palm into Kevin's chest!
There was a spitting sound as the sound of bones breaking emanated from Kevin's chest. His body softened and he fell heavily to the ground!
"You..." Kevin's eyes widened; he had not expected Mr. Xiao to attack him from behind!
Although Xiao had just fought a great battle with Ling Feng, a surprise attack on Kevin, who was already gravely injured, was a simple matter for Xiao, with his original S-class strength!
"Why!" Kevin spat out blood continuously, not understanding why Xiao, clearly an ally, would attack him.
Although he had many unanswered questions, by now Kevin no longer had the strength to demand answers! Xiao's blow had shattered all his bones and meridians, and within just a few breaths, Kevin's eyes gradually lost their luster.
"We were indeed allies, but I think your death will be more beneficial to our organization," Xiao said indifferently, looking at Kevin's body: "But rest assured, Les is still useful to us, and I will take good care of him!"
Having eluded Ling Feng, Les soon arrived at the base of the United Hearts Gang. Not long after, Xiao also appeared.
"Mr. Xiao, please..." Before Les could finish, Xiao interrupted him with a deep voice, "Mr. Les, I have a sad piece of news to tell you!"
Les, seeing Xiao's demeanor, felt a bad premonition rising within him.
"I just went to meet Kevin, but unfortunately, I was too late!" Xiao said with a voice filled with sorrow: "Kevin has already fallen in battle, tragically!"
Buzz! Les's eyes bulged. He incredulously asked, "What? Mr. Xiao, that's not a funny joke at all. What did you say? Kevin has fallen in battle? How is that possible!"
Xiao sighed, clapped his hands, and two people carrying a body walked in.
Les was struck as if by lightning, for the body was none other than Kevin!
"How is this possible! How could you possibly be dead!" Les threw himself onto Kevin, shaking the body continuously, screaming hoarsely, "Get up now, stop pretending to sleep! You, this joke isn't funny at all, get up!"
Xiao quietly stood beside Les, watching his frenzied behavior, and did not stop him. Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
As Les shouted, two tears slid down his face, "Why? You promised to protect me forever, why did you break your word?"
Les lay on Kevin's body, crying painfully as tears streamed down one by one, landing on Kevin.
Les still remembered that bright afternoon, Kevin kneeling at his side, swearing to become the most solid shield for him! In a blink, more than a decade had passed, and he had always silently guarded him, and he had long grown accustomed to his presence.
"Get up, if you just get up, I promise I won't be lazy anymore, I'll cultivate properly!" Les choked out, "Don't you know, in the Church, you were my most trusted partner, my friend! It was only you who truly cared for me, Kevin, wake up, don't abandon me!"
The longing and hope in Les's eyes faded bit by bit, and a deathly stillness and despair emerged in his gaze.
"Death cannot be reversed!" Xiao sighed beside him, "I think Kevin's spirit in heaven wouldn't want to see you either!"
"Why! Why did he have to die!" Les stood up, turned, and glared at Xiao, grinding his teeth, "Those hypocrites from the Papal Court of Light could never have killed Kevin! He was known as the Iron Wall Werewolf, how could he just die like that?"
Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's right, when Kevin was battling Alessandro, he was not at a disadvantage, on the contrary, Alessandro was consistently suppressed by him! But then, a masked man suddenly appeared on the battlefield, showing up behind Kevin, striking him with a palm... I immediately went forward, but... but Kevin's life force had already been severed, I was helpless!"
"Masked man? A sneak attack?" Les's eyes reddened, "It must have been the Dragon Group, definitely someone from the Dragon Group! I knew it, if they didn't kill me, they would definitely go after Kevin!"
At that moment, an image of Ling Feng with a mask appeared in Les's mind, "Very well, China Dragon Group, I, Les, will remember this vendetta, there will come a time when I'll reclaim everything with interest!"
A slight smile appeared on Xiao's face beneath the mask, harbor resentment, feel the anger! Only resentment and anger can destroy a person's rationality, only then can one deal a devastating blow to the China Dragon Group!
"What are you going to do now?" Xiao asked, "The situation in Huaxia is critical, and the people from the Papal Court of Light are watching you like a hawk; I think you'd be safest going back to the Church..."
"Back to the Church?" Les laughed bitterly, "Go back in such a sorry state? Could I, Les, return in such a shameful defeat?"
Les looked coldly outside, "China Dragon Group, although you are formidable, don't forget, our Dark Church's thousand-year foundations are not something your fledgling China Dragon Group can catch up to in just a few decades! Since you've killed my most trusted partner, then don't blame me for not playing by the rules! I'm actually curious to see just how much backbone the so-called forbidden area of the Underworld really has!"
Listening to Les's words filled with hatred, the corners of Xiao's mouth curled slightly up, "Let Les test your limits first, Dragon King! When everything is ripe, we'll let you know what the return of a King is like! China Dragon Group, you are destined to become the chief's blade, and that Scepter has been in your hands for far too long, Dragon King!"
