Chapter 16: The God of Revenge (2)

Gulp!

Candice abruptly swallowed, glancing around with her head, fearing that a third party had overheard the exchange between the two.

The specific action routes of the Hero Team?

This was truly significant news.

In the human world of the entire Sky Dome Continent, the former Heroes held a transcendent status.

Just below the Heroes were the three highest authorities, the Emperor, the Church Venerable, and the Pope.

Further down, there were the ten members of the Hero Team, the Thirteen Sages, the president of the Mercenary Association, the vice president...

These individuals were extremely powerful and commanded immense prestige throughout the human world, especially the members of the Hero Team. They, alongside the Hero, together pushed back the demons for hundreds of kilometers, turning around the tide of battle, and earning humanity a chance to breathe, with countless admirers.

Now, this mysterious man had directly informed her of the whereabouts of a member of the Hero Team—this information was of no small consequence.

"Which one is it?"

"Unmoving Shield Guard Benson!"

Qin Chu had many targets for his revenge.

Holy Court Pope Augustus and Earth Mother Goddess Sect Venerate Saint Monica, it was they who used the Heavenly Prison shackles and the embrace of the Earth Mother Goddess to lock away his magic power and fighting energy.

Emperor Wozworth of the Oville Empire, it was he who ordered his soldiers to unseal the Dark Witch and inject Shaye with the Frenzy Potion, leading to his severe injuries in battle.

The former Mercenary Alliance, now president of the Guardian Alliance Post-War, Carlson, it was he who used the Sword of Damocles to behead him.

Lex, president of the great commerce guild that controlled ninety percent of the Sky Dome Continent's news media, weapons manufacturing, and food and medicine production—it was he who created the filthy poison that corrupted his body, and he who commanded his media subordinates to tarnish his reputation.

And the twelve Sages, excluding Nadia, who summoned him to this world and reinforced the power of the Heavenly Prison shackles, the embrace of the Earth Mother Goddess, and the destructive force of the Sword of Damocles with a mighty magic array at the execution site, tearing his body to shreds.

Of course, the enemies Qin Chu hated the most were his former comrades-in-arms, the members of the Hero Team.

The Crimson Valkyrie, Catherine!

The Twin Thieves, Aileen and Aili!

Great Mage Asina!

Gentleman Swordsman Ronald!

Mad Demon Knight Calmus!

Ghost Shooter Silf!

Unmoving Shield Guard Benson!

Death Knight Karthas!

And then, that woman who called her beloved, who fed him medicine mouth to mouth, who looked after Qin Chu diligently over a long period and earnestly wished for his quick recovery, the woman Qin Chu loved the most—Saintess Rose Vesper!

One could truly say he had enemies all over the world.

Although Qin Chu was angry with people like the Emperor, the Pope, and the Church Venerable who wished to kill him, it wasn't as unbearable as his other feelings.

What Qin Chu couldn't tolerate the most was deception, was betrayal.

The deeper the former love, the stronger the brotherhood once felt, the fiercer the current hatred burned.

His brothers, who had once fought side by side with him, now sat on that high tribunal, looking down at him being torn apart with faces full of mockery and triumph. They picked up his body parts, drained his blood,

And they suppressed his remains in the most remote corner of the Sky Dome Continent, burying his head under the Holy City, enduring the trampling of millions of people every day.

What kind of malice, what kind of hatred, would drive such actions?

He considered them as brothers, as sisters, and her as a lover... but in their eyes, he was nothing more than a pitiful clown.

All the beautiful memories were fucking fake!

Qin Chu dearly wanted to eliminate all of his enemies, but he didn't possess the strength for it now; he couldn't defeat any of them, and could only choose despicable methods. Of course, compared to the torture he once suffered, Qin Chu felt that no matter how dirty the tricks he used, they couldn't be considered excessive.

The members of the Hero Team, who usually fought against demons in various corners of the Sky Dome Continent, were summoned to the Orville Royal City after Qin Chu was called forth. Before the hero could grow up, he took on the role of the hero's teacher, teaching Qin Chu Fighting Energy, Martial Arts, and Magic.

Fortunately, even though they detested him deeply inside, they had to pretend to be very close to him, warmly chatting and sharing everything they had seen and heard along the way. Thus, Qin Chu was very clear about the movements of the Hero Team members.

The reason for choosing Shield Guard Benson was that he was the easiest target to attack. Being slightly solitary in nature, he didn't have companions around him and would find it difficult to get support immediately when attacked.

Secondly, like Qin Chu in the first week, Benson was a loyal lapdog to Rose Vesper, blindly obedient to her.

Therefore, Qin Chu wanted to use the claws of demons to sever this arm of Rose Vesper!

With past events resurfacing in his mind, anger in Qin Chu's chest surged instantly. His eyes turned a shade of deep red in a flash, while a chilling aura emanated from his body.

Candice trembled all over. Although Qin Chu had not released any remarkable strength, an indescribable aura directly invoked a profound fear from the depths of her soul. For a moment, the handsome young man sitting in front of her seemed like a terrifying demon from Purgatory.

"Sorry, I lost my composure," Qin Chu noticed Candice's condition and reigned in his aura, returning to his unfathomable, calm demeanor.

Candice's throat moved slightly, her pale cheeks forcing a smile, "It's, it's okay..."

"Do you wish for me to report this message upward?"

"Of course."

"But how can I be certain this message is true?" Candice started to recover, "Who can assure this isn't a trap set up by humans?"

Despite how Qin Chu just behaved, Candice was very convinced that he harbored hatred towards the members of the Hero Team.

But it was a matter of great importance.

If it really was a trap, then the demons would certainly suffer severe losses. As the informant of this intelligence, Candice would unavoidably receive a brutal punishment. Considering the ways demons punished traitors, Candice felt a shudder down her spine.

Qin Chu had returned to normal, and chuckled softly as he picked up a feather quill and circled another spot next to the Royal City. The moment Candice saw the location, her face dramatically changed.

"Eternal Monarch Nag's seventh son should be hiding here, right? It seems he's here for the hero, wanting to kill him before he grows up, to prevent the emergence of another Jie Luo..."

"Tell me, if I share this information with those people, will your Prince still have a chance of survival?"

Candice understood Qin Chu's meaning; he had no intention of wiping out the demons, he simply wanted to use the demons' hands to eliminate the members of the Hero Team.

"Why don't you act on your own? With your abilities, even Shield Guard Benson wouldn't stand a chance against you," Candice asked, curious.

This question, Qin Chu hadn't thought through in detail, pausing briefly, his fingers lightly tapping on the counter as his mind rapidly fabricated excuses.

Candice, though, suddenly came to a realization: "Ah, sorry, I'm being nosy. It seems like a question I shouldn't be asking, right?"

Candice puffed her cheeks, mumbling softly, knowing too much could be deadly.

She was truly a sharp and clever girl, capable of self-censorship, which was very convenient.

With an air of mystery, he glanced at Candice, "Smart girl, it's good that you understand."

Candice was clever but clearly also driven by curiosity. Her heart teemed with questions, particularly those relating to her, such as why this mysterious gentleman was so well-informed about her circumstances.

Yet, she feared asking too much might displease Qin Chu.

Her lips kept moving uncontrollably as if it were quite difficult for her to contain herself, resembling a kitten scratching behind its ears.

The look was even rather adorable.

Such a person was still too green to be a spy gathering intelligence.

After much effort, Candice couldn't help herself; she wanted to know why Qin Chu knew so much about her. At that moment, she realized she didn't even know the mysterious person's name—quite impolite for someone of his stature.

"Excuse me, I still don't know how to address you..."

Qin Chu certainly wasn't foolish enough to reveal his identity outright and pondered briefly.

"You can call me..."

"Horus!"

The God of Vengeance!
