The murderous intent swirled wildly within the carriage, causing the temperature to drop suddenly!
Chen Yifei was trapped in his seat, staring blankly at Han Meng, whose killing intent was palpable. For a moment, his mind was a blank...
Han Meng had left District Three and suddenly appeared here, even shooting and destroying the train's driving wheel. This was no coincidence... The only explanation was that he was here for Chen Yifei.
But how did he know that the Star Cluster Merchant Association was planning to take action against him?
Locked in Han Meng's gunsight, the man felt a wave of murderous intent enveloping him. He frowned and gazed at Han Meng for a long time, as if remembering something.
"Han Meng... I seem to have heard that name," he said, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"I heard that a few years ago, there was a new law enforcer in District Three who killed the nephew of the president of the Star Cluster Merchant Association in the Ancient Military Treasure. After being detained, he endured three rounds of soul-crushing interrogations and remained sane... This incident even shocked the high-level executives at the headquarters. That law enforcer... was called Han Meng, wasn't he?"
"Is that so?" Han Meng replied calmly, "What a coincidence."
His fingertip rested on the trigger, and under his black trench coat, a domain rapidly expanded around him!
Feeling the terrifying aura contained within this domain, the man's face turned even more unpleasant. He hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to sketch something in the void. However, a thick beam of light flashed past his temple in an instant!
The invisible destructive force was like a bullet, wiping off his temple hair directly and piercing through all the carriages of the train in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a huge circular hole!
"What makes you think your words can be faster than my gun?"
Han Meng remained in the same position, holding the gun with one hand, and a faint trail of smoke drifted from the muzzle. His face remained expressionless.
However, at this moment, several beads of cold sweat had slid down the man's forehead... A hint of fear and horror flashed across his pale face.
If Han Meng's gun had been a little off just now, his head would have been deconstructed into nothingness... He was alive not because the shot was off but because Han Meng hadn't intended to kill him.
"This is a warning... Never try to attack a 'Judge' directly, idiot," Han Meng said, pointing the gun at the man and gesturing towards Chen Yifei, "Undo the words on him; otherwise, the next shot will be aimed at your head."
The man was now both surprised and angry. As a fourth-tier powerhouse, he was being suppressed heavily by Han Meng's 'Court of Judgment,' which made him feel extremely suffocated... He had a wealth of Book God Path skills, but in front of that gunsight, everything he did was too slow.
But he had no choice. The frontal combat power of most God Paths was almost impossible to surpass the War God Path, and the 'Judge' path was the most lethal among all War God Paths!
As a Book God Path practitioner, what could he do against a 'Judge' when the latter had already locked him down?
Could words be faster than bullets?
The man's face kept changing expressions. He stared at Han Meng for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying,
"Do you know what will happen if you offend the Star Cluster Merchant Association..."
"No one knows it better than me," Han Meng said, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a trace of murderous intent spread in the carriage again, "Don't let me repeat it for the third time... Let him go."
Seeing that the second bullet was about to be fired, the man gritted his teeth and wiped his hand in the void, undoing the characters controlling Chen Yifei from a distance.
Chen Yifei immediately felt his body lighten, and control returned to him!
"Don't think that hiding outside Aurora City will make them helpless against you..." The man stepped backward slowly, and as he walked, mysterious characters emerged on the ground of the train carriages.
"Next time we meet, you won't have the chance to point a gun at me again."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the next moment, those mysterious characters suddenly lit up!
His body turned black in Chen Yifei's sight, as if the ink was being split into strokes, horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling, hook, disappearing rapidly into the void.
Could he turn his body into words?
Chen Yifei witnessed this scene with great surprise. All the skills of the Book God Path seemed to be beyond his comprehension...
Seeing the man leave, Han Meng calmly put his gun away and glanced at Chen Yifei,
"Aren't you leaving? Do you really want to follow him to Aurora City?"
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the train.
The station attendants and other passengers were shocked by the sight of Han Meng, who had shot and destroyed the train's driving wheel. They watched in disbelief as Han Meng, wearing a black trench coat, walked out of the station, their expressions resembling those of people seeing a monster.
Chen Yifei walked through the crowd and came to his side, "How did you know I was here?"
"There's only one train going to Aurora City each day, and it departs from Winter Harbor, so it must be here."
Chen Yifei wanted to ask how he knew the Star Cluster Merchant Association would secretly take him away... But recalling the man's words just now, he didn't ask this question.
According to what he said, Han Meng had offended the Star Cluster Merchant Association in the Ancient Military Treasure a few years ago and had undergone three rounds of soul-crushing interrogations... What Chen Yifei had experienced and even hadn't had the chance to experience, Han Meng had gone through years ago.
No one understood the methods of the Star Cluster Merchant Association better than this victim;
The two walked through the snow together in silence.
Han Meng didn't ask Chen Yifei what happened in the Ancient Military Treasure, and Chen Yifei didn't ask about Han Meng's past experiences. They both remained silent, like two people silently heading home together.
Finally, Han Meng's voice sounded again:
"I underestimated you."
"What?"
"I thought you would only kill a few people at most... I didn't expect that only you would come out in the end." Han Meng's voice didn't reveal whether it was praise or complaint, "This time, you've stirred up too much trouble."
Chen Yifei suddenly remembered the words Han Meng specifically left for him before he went to the Ancient Military Treasure:
"If you encounter some... things in the Ancient Military Treasure, don't be too timid. You are our law enforcer from District Three. Even if you cause some trouble, I will be there to support you."
Chen Yifei wasn't timid;
Han Meng did support Chen Yifei indeed...
When Chen Yifei walked out of that small room, all the law enforcers and judges chose to close their eyes.
Only Han Meng rushed hundreds of miles, shot and destroyed the train, and pointed his gun at the powerful authority within Aurora City... If he hadn't been there, Chen Yifei would probably have been forcibly taken to Aurora City, and his ultimate fate would be unknown.
Chen Yifei was silent for a long time, then said seriously and solemnly,
"...Thank you."
Han Meng turned to look at him, and the black trench coat continued to walk towards the end of the snow.
"...Being alive is enough."
