Chapter 175 Revenge
175 Revenge
The tense conversation was promptly cut short once Xu Feng realized the woman finished drinking all the water bottles he had placed out. Cleverly avoiding this topic, Xu Feng explained, "Alright, let's continue to move forward."
A few seconds later, he began walking ahead while Clara and the other women followed, albeit at a fixed distance. It was clear that they were still afraid and wary of Xu Feng. To gain their trust was definitely not something you could do in a matter of seconds. Sometime later, they exited the hideout, and OneManMedia's voice quickly echoed, "You're finally out. I was wondering when you—" Before OneManMedia could continue his words, he noticed multiple frail-looking women behind Xu Feng, causing him to be stumped. His eyes widened in shock and surprise, clearly not expecting these women to be in the hideout. He took another quick look at the frail women before turning his attention to Rolph, a disgusted expression appeared on his face.
'No wonder Lin Feng butcher them all like they were some chicken on a farm.' OneManMedia finally realized the actions behind Xu Feng. Given that he didn't have information earlier regarding these women, he couldn't comprehend the brutality. However, that changed completely now that he had obtained this information. He might not have truly understood what he had undergone in the hideout, but any sane and those with common sense could tell these women were not treated right. And thinking further ahead, one could imagine what these women were used for when the rebels were a bunch of men.
"Where's Rolph?" Xu Feng promptly asked, ignoring the realization OneManMedia had. "Rolph…" Dazed for a moment, OneManMedia quickly snapped out of it and pointed in a direction. "Rolph is over there, Mister Lin Feng." He then said, referring him to Mister once again.
Nodding his head, Xu Feng patted his shoulder and said, "You can work on the video I just sent. I prefer it to be done within an hour, and you can leave now." Stunned briefly, OneManMedia snuck a glance at the women behind Xu Feng and realized they were all somewhat terrified of his presence. Understanding that his presence was causing them anxiety, OneManMedia nodded. "The video will be done in 30 minutes, Mister Lin Feng." He said with a determined expression. The mere possibility of other hideouts location might have a similar situation, he would be damned if he didn't hasten the pace in urging players to raid them. Pleased, Xu Feng also informed OneManMedia of the other location that he found out from the documents drafted by Rolph. "Just say that it's a continuation clue in the video to explain the origin of how you know the other locations." Xu Feng said, giving him context to make an excuse.
Not even bothering to ask the details, OneManMedia patted his chest and vowed to complete the video as soon as possible. Once he finished his vow, he swiftly exited the scene, unwilling to be the cause of the women's discomfort. However, he would be mistaken if he thought he was the cause of their discomfort. Their main cause of discomfort was the tied-up person behind him all along, Rolph. Looking at the pathetic sight of Rolph with a stoic expression, Xu Feng turned around and glanced at Clara. "My duty was to bring him back dead or alive. So whatever his state would be, I'll let you all decide. It's your rights after all." He said calmly, and stepped aside, letting them have a full view of Rolph.
As if that wasn't enough, Xu Feng placed multiple weapons on the floor that he had purchased from Fiona. All different types of weapons for all sorts of classes and one of them was guaranteed to be a fit for them. 'Is this why he wants us to have strength?' Clara gazed at the weapons with a solemn expression. If it had been before they regained some of their strength from the refreshing water, it would be hard to say they could even lift the weapon up. Sometime later, Clara took a deep breath and picked up a few daggers. Reflected by the sunlight, the daggers flashed a sharp glint, aligning with Clara's firm and fierce expression as she gazed at the tied-up Rolph.
Rolph, upon sensing an intense killing intent directed at him, began to wiggle around, trying to loosen the ropes. "Don't you dare! I'm the future town mayor!" Rolph started shouting in anger. "If you kill me, then you will never gain citizenship status. Only with me can you all become human." Despite his threat and exclamation, it fell on completely deaf ears. None of his shouting affected her determination as she started stabbing his limbs. Blood sprayed across, with some of them landing on Clara's face. "You really stab me you damn slut!" Rolph shrieked in agony and cursed vulgarly. "I should have roughed you up more back then if I had known you were such a ruthless whore!" Ignoring the remark, she remained unaffected and continued to stab him a few times. Her eyes remained wide open despite the bloody scene. Suddenly, Clara paused her stabbing. She bit her lips softly and turned to Xu Feng. Surprised, Xu Feng questioned, "Are you not going to kill him?" Clara shook her head in response, nearly stunning Xu Feng in the process until her next statement.
"I can't be greedy and end his life by myself when many others suffer at his hands." Clara explained and with much difficulty, she requested, "Is there a way to heal him?"
Amused, Xu Feng didn't expect her first request to him would be about healing her enemy, so that she could torture him longer without killing the latter. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Revenge was indeed a powerful motive that could bring the best of a person. "I'm a healer, Clara." Xu Feng commented, casting heal on Rolph. As Rolph's injuries recovered swiftly, the bloody mess remained stuck on his skin. "Feel free to vent to your desire. I can ensure he won't die unless you order it." Like a gentleman, Xu Feng offered his service.
