The issue was passed to Abigail, and all eyes were focused on her.
"Indeed, but..."
Abigail wanted to explain a few words for Sterling, but Edward pulled her away and scolded:
"You need to avoid suspicion. Someone! Take her away and lock her up!"
As Abigail was taken away, she was still struggling desperately.
"Dad, Sterling is a good person. He killed to protect us!"
David and the other students surrounded Edward, arguing in a cacophony of voices.
Other H-nation people were all denouncing Sterling.
"Killers must pay with their lives, they should be executed immediately!"
"Exactly, why are we excusing the murderer?"
Most of the onlookers who didn't know the truth were employees of Charles, and their discussions grew louder, with unfavorable comments taking the majority.
On the contrary, Sterling's face was as calm as water, as if he didn't care at all as if he was oblivious to everyone around him.
The scene became more and more chaotic. The rich second-generation, with an air of arrogance, pushed David and the other students away with Charles' employees.
"Move aside, this is none of your business, all of you shut up!"
Charles and his people surrounded Edward.
"Diplomat, I ask you one last time, are you not going to enforce the law?"
"I warn you, without the support of my people, your embassy won't last a few days. You figure it out!"
Edward was also very troubled. Special circumstances require special treatment. The best solution at present is to cooperate with Charles and unite to ensure the survival of more H-nation people.
Sterling's appearance had created a rift in the cooperation, and now, no one could disrupt the partnership!
Edward, surrounded by Charles' men, came to Sterling.
"Did you commit murder?"
Sterling stood straight and was not panicked at all.
"Yes."
"You are bold enough to admit it. Since you plead guilty, you should accept the punishment."
Sterling faced a thousand accusing fingers with a cold gaze and asked coldly:
"What if I don't accept?"
Edward really didn't expect that Sterling would be so unyielding.
"You, do you want to commit murder in the embassy?"
Sterling put the axe in his hand on the ground.
"Clang"
The heavy mutated fire axe smashed the marble floor tiles.
"If I want to kill, can you stop me?"
"Arrogant! Too arrogant!"
The rich second-generation started clamoring again, shouting with his neck stiff:
"In school, he was like this, killing without blinking, not distinguishing good from bad, killing at the slightest displeasure!"
"He also forced me to kneel and kowtow to him, and he molested female students!"
"Abigail can testify, Sterling is a beast, a scum of humanity!"
The rich second-generation splashed dirt in all directions, venting all the grievances he had suffered in school by distorting the truth.
After shouting, he looked at Sterling triumphantly, full of provocation, as if to say, I'm setting you up, so what? If you have the ability, try to kill another one in public!
Captain George was really anxious.
"Kid, you should explain a few words!"
Sterling's face was gloomy, and he said coldly:
"I am an orphan, and I have been wronged since I was a child, I am used to it."
"I study hard, just to learn how to reason, but when I find out that reasoning is useless, in the end, I still need to rely on force to solve things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a blur in front of them.
"Puff"
Suddenly.
A dagger was stabbed into the rich second-generation's forehead, who was distorting the truth.
"Ah!"
In the screams of the whole scene, the rich second-generation fell to the ground, dead with his eyes open.
The scene was in chaos, and everyone was retreating, running as far as they could.
"He's crazy, he's crazy!"
"He has no sense, he's a zombie!"
"Shoot, kill him, kill him quickly!"
The guard, seeing someone dead, subconsciously raised his gun and aimed at Sterling.
The responsibility fell to Abigail, and all eyes were on her.
"He's not a zombie, guys, put your guns down!" George was still trying to defend Sterling.
Charles collapsed to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
"My nephew! How can I face your father now that you're dead?"
"You are an embassy, not a den of thieves."
"Indulging a murderer to kill at will, there's no justice in this world!"
Edward was also stunned; he truly hadn't expected that Sterling, a student, would dare to kill in public without any warning.
One moment he was speaking, the next he was committing murder, without even blinking.
"This kid has gone mad, he's really gone mad!"
George hurriedly defended, "Diplomat! Sterling is not what you think!"
At that moment, a sound of metal scraping against the ground echoed throughout the area.
Everyone turned to look and saw Sterling dragging a fire axe, approaching Charles step by step.
Sterling's gaze was cold, devoid of any emotion, his presence was so intimidating that it sent chills down everyone's spine.
"I didn't take you on, but you thought I was an easy target."
"Does money give you the right to do whatever you want?"
"When the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. You must know what kind of person your son was."
"Back in school, he was never serious, always chasing after women, causing trouble."
"The world has changed, and he even colluded with outsiders to harm his fellow international students. I kill anyone like him I come across, and they deserve it."
Charles was terrified by Sterling's god-of-war-like aura, crawling backward involuntarily, and said in panic:
"What are you going to do?"
Sterling had already closed in, standing about 4 meters away.
"Since you care so much about your son, why don't you join him in hell?"
Charles was so scared that his gallbladder shattered, and he shouted:
"Help! You can't stand by and watch him commit this crime!"
Seeing the situation was uncontrollable, George drew his gun and warned:
"Young man, calm down. You have a bright future ahead of you; don't go astray!"
Sterling looked at George with a crooked head and gave a cold smile.
"You're a good man, but in the apocalypse, good people don't live long. But I won't let scourges stay in this world!"
With that, the fire axe swung fiercely, and with a swift motion, the blade fell.
"Puff"
Charles's head flew high into the air, landing and rolling a few meters away.
A few breaths later, the scene erupted again in terrified screams, almost everyone was pale with fear.
"Shoot, kill him!"
Edward was also panicked, and in his terror, he shouted an order.
"Protect the people!"
All the armed soldiers flicked off their safeties, even George, and collectively aimed their guns at Sterling.
"Calm down!"
"Are you going to betray your country and become an enemy of the world?"
"You're still human, not a beast, don't take the wrong path!"
Other soldiers approached with their guns and shouted:
"Drop your weapon, put down the axe!"
"Hands on your head, squat down!"
Sterling scanned the crowd with a cold eye and said disdainfully:
"You fools, what kind of world is this now? If you continue to stick to the old ways and keep your pedantic notions, it will eventually kill you all!"
Edward scolded:
"Stop talking nonsense, are we supposed to lose our humanity and kill innocent people like you?"
"Innocent?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sterling slowly squatted down, picked up the red cards that had exploded from the two men.
Others might not know, but Sterling was very clear in his heart.
These two people already showed signs of mutation, at least, they were in the mutation phase.
Killing them was ridding the people of a menace.
