105: Section 105

Charles heard this and sneered, "Oh? Then do I have to thank City Lord Mark as well?"

"I understand!" Morgan said in a low voice, "Everyone, put down your weapons!"

"Hmph!" Charles sneered, "As expected, even at a time like this, you still chose Mark!"

"Charles, are you really going to rebel?!"

"You forced my hand!" Charles said crazily, "Today, it's either his death or my end! Law Enforcement Office and City Defense Force, listen to my command: kill all the Wasteland Hunters!"

"Charles!" Morgan roared, nearly passing out from rage again.

"Wait! Wait!"

Suddenly, one of the people in the Wasteland Hunters' team ran toward Charles.

"Lord Leader! I'm on your side!"

Charles glanced at the man, knowing he was a plant he had arranged within the Wasteland Hunters.

Charles was extremely angry that they had failed to complete their mission.

A gravity body from the Law Enforcement Office pointed its gun at the Wasteland Hunter.

Charles said even more coldly, "You still have the nerve to come here!"

He froze for a second and hurriedly said, "Lord Leader, I have information to report!"

The man also knew that failing the mission was a capital offense. So at the final moment, he hoped to exchange the intelligence in his hands for some credit.

He took out a portable computer and performed a holographic projection, playing a video.

The footage showed a scene in the Nirvana hall, where Jing Yuan was fighting Phage Beasts.

Jing Yuan could slay a Phage Beast with a single strike.

However, a scene appeared in the footage where Jing Yuan waved his hand, and a black object instantly pierced through a Phage Beast!

With another wave of his hand, the object pierced through another Phage Beast.

While fighting the Calyx Beast, many people had seen with their own eyes Jing Yuan controlling a conical object to stab into the Calyx Beast's body.

Finally, during the final battle with the Calyx Beast, that conical object flew around attacking the beast, clearly under Jing Yuan's control.

Charles was shocked at first, but then he smiled.

Holding the video, Charles walked slowly toward Morgan to let him see it more clearly.

He also said loudly, "Jing Yuan, oh Jing Yuan! I didn't expect... that you were actually a monster!"

Jing Yuan didn't care about Charles's words.

But when he saw Morgan's face change drastically because of the footage, Jing Yuan realized something was wrong.

What did Morgan's expression mean?

What was he so angry about?

Morgan stared at Jing Yuan with a sinister gaze, as if he weren't looking at a person, but a monster.

Morgan said viciously, "Wasteland Hunters, City Defense Force, and Law Enforcement Office, listen to my command: seize Jing Yuan! At any cost!"

Chapter 107: Today, No One Can Kill Me!

Everyone was stunned!

Why seize Jing Yuan?

Especially the Wasteland Hunter Team Members; one moment they saw Morgan stopping Charles, and the next moment he was turning against Jing Yuan?

Jing Yuan's abilities were a bit special, but how did that make him a monster?

After Morgan gave the order to arrest Jing Yuan, Charles had his subordinates lower their weapons and looked at Mark with a smile, saying, "Captain Mark, didn't you hear City Lord Morgan's order? Seize Jing Yuan!"

Mark asked in confusion, "City Lord, why arrest Jing Yuan?"

Morgan's face was full of rage, and even a hint of fear.

"Haven't you noticed? He's a monster!"

Jing Yuan had a helpless expression. Things had come to this point, yet another unexpected turn of events had occurred!

"How did I become a monster?"

Morgan pointed a finger at him and said, "Have you ever seen a normal human who could control objects with their mind?!"

Mark was startled. Earlier on The Surface, Jing Yuan had already demonstrated his abilities in front of everyone. He was puzzled but hadn't had the chance to ask yet.

Morgan continued to point at Jing Yuan, "You're just like that woman on The Surface—you're both monsters!"

At this point, Jing Yuan neither wanted to explain nor hide. He raised his left hand, and the black scale disk beside him flew up with it.

With a thought from Jing Yuan, the 108 blades of the scale disk instantly disassembled and floated around him, looking magnificent!

Jing Yuan stared at Morgan and said, "I don't know what's going on with that woman on The Surface. But on what grounds do you call me a monster?"

"You are a monster!" Charles said hurriedly, "Captain Mark, seize this monster already!"

To Charles, it would be perfect if the Wasteland Hunters and Jing Yuan fought until both sides were wounded.

Jing Yuan waved his hand, pointing the 108 blades toward Charles, and said coldly, "Blondie, if you don't shut up, I'll turn you into a sieve!"

"You..."

Charles also had a day where he was too afraid to speak despite his anger; he was truly intimidated.

Jing Yuan cut through Phage Beasts like slicing melons and vegetables; killing a person would be even easier.

Morgan practically forced himself to stand up, and Jing Nan quickly supported him.

Jing Nan's face also wore an expression of disbelief.

Morgan said, "I think I understand now! You're in league with those people on The Surface, aren't you? The reason the Lighthouse has ended up like this today is because you've been making trouble behind the scenes!"

"Me, making trouble?" Jing Yuan didn't understand why Morgan would think that. "City Lord Morgan, your son is rebelling! Did I damn well hold a knife to his throat and force him to rebel?"

Mark hurried forward and said, "City Lord, I encountered humans on The Surface. Just now, Jing Yuan was helping us deal with those Ground People. How could he be in league with them?"

Jing Nan also spoke from the side, "City Lord, I've checked Jing Yuan's records. He was indeed born on the Lighthouse. Could there be some mistake?"

"There's no mistake!" Morgan remained convinced. "With that kind of ability, there can be no mistake! The people on The Surface have the ability of Body Seizure!"

"Body Seizure!" Charles acted surprised while feeling ecstatic inside. "Isn't that something only a Demon could do?"

"Demon!"

The Law Enforcers began to hurl insults in unison.

If he could brand Jing Yuan as a 'Demon' and implicate Mark by association, Charles would have a chance to make a comeback!

"Mark!" Morgan ordered Mark directly. "Seize him!"

Jing Yuan looked at Mark. "Mark, what's your choice?"

Mark was dazed at this moment.

Jing Yuan had been helping him all along, even predicting that Charles would use the Hall of Dawn against him and preparing in advance.

When Mark insisted on going to The Surface to get medicine for Morgan, Jing Yuan was willing to go along, and even when facing the Calyx Beast, it was thanks to Jing Yuan that the Wasteland Hunters didn't suffer heavy casualties.

It was strange that Jing Yuan had special abilities.

But Mark was certain of one thing: Jing Yuan was a good person.

He hadn't done anything to hurt others.

Penny rushed out from the armored vehicle, stood in front of Jing Yuan, and said to Mark, "Captain Mark, Jing Yuan isn't a monster, let alone a Demon! Have you forgotten what he did for you and Ran Bing?"

"Penny, go back to the armored vehicle!"

"No!"

"Don't worry! Today, no one can kill me!"

Jing Yuan said in a very calm tone, "Mark, I won't make things difficult for you. You and everyone in the Wasteland Hunters just stand aside and watch. I don't want to hurt you. As for these riffraff from the Law Enforcement Office and the City Defense Force, I can handle them alone! Once I've cleared these obstacles, the City Lord of the Lighthouse will still be you!"

Then, Jing Yuan turned his head and looked at Morgan. "City Lord Morgan, I don't understand why you're so afraid of The Surface! Afraid of Bai Yuekui and those people! And now, you're even afraid of Superpowers!"

"I don't want to waste any more breath on you! I've done so much just because I didn't want to see the people on the Lighthouse fighting among themselves, causing half of the remaining humans to die!"

"But I've only just realized that if you people don't die, the Lighthouse has no future!"

At that moment, someone in the Wasteland Hunters' team shouted, "Vice-Captain Jing Yuan saved my life! He's no monster! Those bastards from the Light and Shadow Society are the real monsters!"

Jing Yuan looked back and saw it was Chu Feng.

As expected of a brother of many years; that shout of his caused those who had been saved by Jing Yuan to waver.

"Right, Vice-Captain Jing Yuan isn't a Demon. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have made it back today!"

"Exactly. We risked our lives to get medicine for City Lord Morgan, yet he's pointing guns at us!"

Mo Cheng also said, "Back when we were set up by Charles and surrounded by Phage Beasts, it was Jing Yuan who came alone to save us!"

"Mark, don't listen to him. Have you ever seen a Demon who would help us hold back Phage Beasts so we could leave first?" Snow Peak's final words completely woke Mark up.

Jing Yuan hadn't been on the team for long, but he had saved quite a few people, directly or indirectly.
