Chapter 170: Taking Revenge Personally
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When they saw that the gasoline was gone, they retraced their steps. He Zhu couldn’t stand by and watch people in danger. Seeing some of them trapped in the fire, he rushed in to save them.
Ji Zan and the others were deeply moved by He Zhu’s fearlessness. After He Zhu carried the White-brow clan leader out of the flames without pausing, they followed suit. He didn’t ask anyone for help.
His dedication was astonishing to them. Ji Zan, Sun Han, and MO Cheng exchanged glances and then joined in the rescue efforts.
At this moment, only Molly and the coughing White-brow clan leader remained outside.
Molly smiled radiantly, approaching slowly. She squatted down beside the White-brow clan leader and spoke gently, “Are you having trouble breathing?
It must be very uncomfortable.”
The White-brow clan leader nodded and continued to cough.
Molly extended her hand, her lips curved in a smile, but she used all her strength to forcefully cover his mouth and nose.
The White-brow clan leader struggled desperately, but in his old age and the smoke-filled air, he lacked the strength. He could only gaze at her with fear in his eyes, silently questioning, ‘What are you going to do?’
Molly continued to smile, her voice so gentle, yet her words were chilling, “Old man, in order to save your own life, you sacrificed my parents and my little sister to the High Priest for his experiments! Do you think I don’t know? My poor little sister was only seven years old, and she was brutally mutilated… You also handed me over to him to be played with. After he was done with me, it was your turn… I remember all of this!”
Seeing the White-brow clan leader’s terrified and pleading eyes, Molly tightened her grip even more. “And those people, in order to save their own lives, let us die… In that case, you can accompany my parents and my little sister! I prepared this bonfire just for you. Do you like it? I love it!”
The White-brow clan leader wanted to move, but he couldn’t break free. In no time, his legs gave out, and he was out of breath. He died without closing his eyes.
Molly wiped her hands clean, stood up quickly, and her demeanor once again turned weak and helpless.
At this point, Ji Zan and He Zhu returned with a few more people, and they seemed to have some strength left.
Seeing this, Molly clenched her teeth and quickly ran over to take the people from Ji Zan. She said, “The fire is too intense. Don’t go in. These old houses will collapse quickly.”
He Zhu coughed and said, “Let me try again.”
Ji Zan continued towards the raging fire.
Molly watched in disdain, cursing these people for meddling. She was about to suffocate them when MO Cheng and Sun Han rushed out.
“We can’t go in anymore. The fire is too big. We need to leave quickly. There are trees all around, and the fire is spreading,” MO Cheng urged.
He Zhu became anxious, saying, “No, I heard the cries of children just now…” He was about to charge in again, but Ji Zan held him back. “The fire is already out of control. We must leave immediately! The premise of saving others is ensuring you stay alive. Sun Han, MO Cheng, carry the living ones and let’s go!”
He Zhu understood that Ji Zan was right. If they waited any longer, they might not be able to escape the valley. They had no choice but to leave. However, when they tried to carry the Clan Leader, they found his body stiff. He Zhu was startled, “Is the Clan Leader dead?”
Ji Zan checked the Clan Leader’s pulse and confirmed that he had indeed passed away. However, there were still two survivors. They quickly carried the living and headed towards the creek.
The fire was spreading rapidly, and as they reached the creek, the flames stopped at the bank.
Just as they got to the other side, they saw Xia Dong. Ji Zan asked, “Are you all right? How did the fire start inside?”
Xia Dong replied, “Ji Brother, are you all right? Inside, what happened to Fu Shinan?
Without waiting for Xia Dong to explain further, Ji Zan hurriedly ran towards the courtyard. MO Cheng, upon hearing about the High Priest, also became anxious and left Xia Dong with the unconscious person.
Fu Shinan and her group were still on alert when they heard hurried footsteps. They all stood up, and then Ji Zan rushed in, his clothes charred, his face covered in soot. Fu Shinan immediately asked, “Where’s MO Cheng? Are you all okay?”
Ji Zan’s gaze darkened as he took a quick look at Fu Shinan before saying,
“We’re all fine.”
Fu Shinan let out a sigh of relief. As long as everyone was unharmed, it was a relief considering the magnitude of the fire.
Shortly after, MO Cheng rushed in and asked her, “Sister Fu, that bastard, where did he go?”
