Chapter 780 You Must Pay the Price
Could it be that Liu Jie's relationship with her own husband wasn't as good as it seemed.
Was it all just an act before?
It well might be.
In the moment Su Chen was distracted, Liu Jie suddenly turned around and ran towards the door.
Su Chen frowned and followed suit.
Liu Jie, once outside, headed straight towards the boundary of the area.
Slaves are forbidden to casually cross the boundaries between different areas.
They can only labor in their own designated region.
Once someone crosses the border without being seen by a Guard, it might be fine.
But if caught by a Guard, one would be shot and killed.
Su Chen realized Liu Jie's intent.
Indeed, when a woman cries and makes a scene,
it might not be serious yet.
What's truly frightening is calmness,
the calmness after she loses all hope.
"Stop, or we will shoot!" the Guards spotted Liu Jie from a distance.
They raised their machine guns, aiming at Liu Jie.
They weren't just threatening her.
If Liu Jie really dared to continue running forward,
they would definitely shoot.
They don't care if she's a beauty or not.
But at this time, Liu Jie,
having heard about her husband's death, had already lost her will to live.
She was seeking death, naturally she would not stop.
The Guards had already unlocked their safety.
Ready for a bullet feast.
They just needed to gently pull the trigger.
Liu Jie's body, envied by many, would be riddled with holes.
Without surprise, she would soon be sent to nourish the Titan Arum.
"Stop."
Just as the Guards were about to pull the trigger.
Su Chen timely stopped them.
Seeing no Guard firing, Liu Jie kept running forward.
She directly crossed the border, then charged into millet fields.
"I'll handle this!" Su Chen said to those Guards, and chased after her again.
About a hundred or two hundred meters into the crop fields, Su Chen grabbed hold of Liu Jie.
Liu Jie struggled fiercely but couldn't break free.
"Liu Jie, listen to me!" Su Chen shouted.
But Liu Jie was beyond listening now.
"Let me die, please, my husband's dead, there's no meaning for me to live…" Liu Jie, unable to resist after a short struggle, screamed at Su Chen with a face full of sorrow.
"By dying, do you honor your husband? Do you honor his enduring such torment for so long, yet refusing to take his last breath? His limbs, even his organs, all..." Su Chen roared back at Liu Jie.
Remembering the sight of Liu Jie's husband in the cellar, Su Chen couldn't help but shed tears.
What kind of willpower was it that sustained Liu Jie's husband, letting him wait for that opportunity to speak?
"He lingered without dying, just to tell you that he loves you, to urge you to live on!" Su Chen's emotions wavered slightly.
Liu Jie was stunned.
She never imagined that after her husband's limbs were eaten by that Monster, even his organs consumed, he managed to survive for three days and nights.
Of course, the 'three days and nights' was fabricated by Su Chen.
He didn't know how long Liu Jie's husband had really endured.
Perhaps a day, perhaps half a day, or maybe just a few hours.
But with such injuries, if he were an Ordinary Person, he'd probably have passed out from the pain long ago,
and then could never wake up again.
Liu Jie's husband must have known that if he closed his eyes, he might never be able to open them again.
So he kept his eyes open all the time.
Even when buried by bodies, he never once closed his eyes.
Perhaps this was the power of love.
"Alright, I'll do as you said; I'll live on, and I'll live well, better than anyone!" After a long period of daze, Liu Jie burst into tears.
Indeed, the power of love is great.
After hearing her husband was killed, Liu Jie gave up her desire to live.
However, for the sake of her husband's last words, she was determined to live, and to live well.
Of course, perhaps her reason for living was to avenge her husband.
"Who is it, who caused his death!" Liu Jie said, trembling all over.
Su Chen intended to announce Hellboy directly.
But Hellboy was already dead.
And this news would soon spread everywhere.
It would be impossible to conceal it from Liu Jie.
Thus, he said: "It was Black Night Demon. Your husband was initially taken to her area, where she tortured him inhumanely, and in the end, gave him to Hellboy, where he was eaten by Hellboy's Puppets..."
Su Chen's account was close to the truth.
Indeed, Liu Jie's husband had first been taken away by Black Night Demon.
And then he ended up in Hellboy's hands.
But he wasn't delivered to Hellboy by Black Night Demon.
It was Hellboy who took him by force.
Black Night Demon actually hadn't tortured Liu Jie's husband.
However, Su Chen knew that Liu Jie needed a reason to live on.
Black Night Demon!
Sure enough, upon hearing the name Black Night Demon, intense hatred surged in Liu Jie's eyes.
She found a new hope to live.
That was to kill Black Night Demon and avenge her husband.
But there lies the problem.
Her chance of avenging her husband was nearly nonexistent.
Like Red Luo,
who wanted to avenge her brother.
Enduring disgrace for so many years and still failing to succeed.
If Su Chen hadn't stopped her in time,
she might have died under Sofia's Gun Drawing Skill long ago.
And Black Night Demon was even stronger than Sofia.
Even having lost the power to use Mayfly Golden Cicada Silk,
Liu Jie alone couldn't pose any threat to Black Night Demon.
The power of Black Night Demon was something Liu Jie had witnessed herself.
She knew,
with her strength,
she would never be able to get revenge in this life.
The only hope for revenge was one person.
Su Chen.
Su Chen was now the Godfather.
To kill Black Night Demon was actually not difficult.
"Help me kill her!" Liu Jie clenched her fists.
Su Chen looked at her and said indifferently, "To kill her, fine, but you'll have to pay a price!"
"I'm willing to pay any price!" Liu Jie didn't hesitate at all.
Su Chen's eyes narrowed, scanning the somewhat hysterical woman before him.
