Chapter 3: Punishment!

Right now, I am still the strongest man on the continent, no one has the ability to kill me currently.

The most logical thing for me to do right now would be to kill everyone who betrays me in the future. While I can easily end their lives, I don't have the ability to kill the girls with my own hands.

The memories of seeing how they grew up make me treat them as if they were my real daughters.

I heaved a sigh. According to the story of the novel, the attitude of the 5 girls changed due to a series of tests that Ye Xiu showed them.

Although the evidence was not definitive, that seed of doubt was planted in their hearts. Added to the unreasonable affection they felt for him, the seed grew slowly.

Because of this, the relationship deteriorated between the man and his disciples.

Mo Hei Xin, knew deep in his heart that there was no longer affection in their gazes. But he refused to believe that even the daughters he raised since childhood were also going to betray him.

That blind faith is what made him take the cup of poison that temporarily reduced his power, allowing the protagonist to deal the final blow.

In the novel, it was described that the man didn't show a face full of anger, nor the will to want to fight back. He died voluntarily, allowing them to do whatever they wanted with him.

The last thing he did was look at the heavens with sadness, hoping that in his next life he could have a normal life, and with parents who loved him.

I felt my heart being torn apart by the end he suffered. I could avenge my past self, but I know you don't want your daughters to hate you forever.

"You have a heart too soft for your good."

After my death; As expected, the story ended with Ye Xiu ruling the Bai Yin Continent alongside his great harem.

I don't know what became of them, since the author did not write anything else. I also don't know if there was a continuation of the story. But I hope they were able to find their happiness.

I stared at the ceiling of the great palace, pondering what the next step would be. I am unable to kill the girls, nor can I kill Ye Xiu.

One possible option is to clear up all misunderstandings with them, but I am reluctant to do so. I have done everything in my power to protect and nurture them, but in the end, they betrayed me for a man.

"I know you want to stay with them, but they are not worthy of your trust Mo Hei Xin. You deserve much more than this, don't hold on to the past. Let's go find our long-awaited affection."

After deciding on my next steps. I called the only person I can trust.

"Shadow"

As soon as the word left my mouth, an guy dressed entirely in black and covered in a black robe appeared before me.

From the memories I was able to know that the most trustworthy person right now is Shadow, since I have absolute control over his life through a blood oath.

While I place my trust in him, it's only due to the control I have over his life.

"Bring me all the people on this list and inform my five disciples to report to the dining room."

"Yes, my lord."

After a short wait, a group of 17 people stood in front of the throne, with Shadow next to me.

I scanned them one by one with my scrutinizing gaze, as if I could read their inner thoughts. Each one reacted in different ways, but one thing they all had in common was the fear they had of me.

It's ironic that they can betray me despite the postures they are showing me. Greed is a scary thing.

"I know what you are up to in my backs. I gave you the opportunity to make amends, but you let the boy escape, I don't think it's necessary to explain more."

Upon hearing my words: three ran towards the exit without further consideration; nine confronted me, wanting to counterattack; and the rest simply knelt.

'Sight.'

Seeing their reactions I only slightly moved my index finger, before this movement that could be considered the most trivial; everyone stayed still.

With this single movement I restricted their movements, causing them to slowly float towards me.

By replacing Mo Hei Xin's body and merging with his memories, I have complete control over his entire strength.

I created an invisible cube with my Qi and locked them in there.

"Thud!"

After throwing them into the box as if they were nothing more than useless garbage, I restored their ability to move.

Although they regained movement, they were unable to make any sound.

Watching their pathetic attempts to escape. I raised my right hand, palm open, and proceeded to slowly close it. Followed by the movement of my hand, the box slowly reduced its size.

The betrayers felt terror in their hearts, knowing that this would be the last moments of their lives. They tried to beg on their knees and beg for forgiveness. But all I gave them was an indifferent look.

I think my heart has become too cold. Of the two lives I have lived, neither of them ended well.

But thanks to them, I know not to have any regard for these rats. I know it's hypocritical to just take them out and let the six main culprit's escape. But the heart feels what it feels, I will respect its will not harm its disciples.

The subordinate next to me showed slight trembling all over his body, reacting with fear at the terrifying scene in front of his eyes.

He was by my side all his life, knowing that I have never tortured anyone as Mo Hei Xin. That I do it now shows the inner anger I'm repressing.

The box continued to slowly compress, making sure that they could feel themselves being crushed like the mere ants that they are.

Silence reigned in the palace, the box had already reached the moment when everyone was pressing tightly together.

The scene that followed was watching blood leak from their bodies, flooding the box with a deep crimson color.

I continued shrinking the box until I obtained a dimension of one cubic meter.

I lowered my hands, releasing the invisible cube. Letting the cube of flesh and blood will land heavily on the ground.

"How pathetic."

Having finished off these damned rats, I turned to Shadow, and said.

"Prepare to leave, I am going to leave the palace. Don't tell to anyone else, just report to me in 1 hour."

Nodding at my words, Shadow disappeared before my eyes.

I let out a sigh, focusing my gaze on the mass of bloody flesh. I snapped my fingers, storing the corpses in the ring on my finger.

Even though they are already dead, I can still use their corpses to make some pills.

I'm not a saint, but I don't consider myself as hero of justice either. If it were, I wouldn't have tortured the young man who destroyed my life.

I'm just a hypocrite who has enough power and will to do everything I want.

I will kill, if I consider him evil; I will torture him, if he angers me; and I'll let it go if I want. No one on this continent has the power to stop me.

I got up and proceeded to walk slowly towards the dining room, where my dear disciples are waiting for me. I felt my body tense every time I took a step. I guess it's hard to say goodbye to them.

"Relax Mo Hei Xin, I will quickly end everything."
