Chapter 4648
Qiu Tu froze, wanting to speak, but the overwhelming murderous intent radiating from Kai silenced him. Reluctantly, he stepped aside.
Master Luan also quickly backed away. For the sake of the youngest sister, confronting Kai now wasn’t worth it.
To them, the youngest sister was less than an ant.
“Master Qiu! Master Qiu!”
Panicked, the youngest sister’s brother called out desperately, but Qiu Tu didn’t even glance at him.
Seeing Qiu Tu and Master Luan abandon him, terror surged through him like a tidal wave.
He stumbled backward until he could retreat no further, his back pressed against a large rock. His face turned as pale as paper, his eyes wide with despair and fear.
“B-Brother-in-law… no, no… Chen… Kai! Please spare me! I-I was wrong! I shouldn’t have hurt Xiong Ying! I shouldn’t have turned against my own sister!”
His voice quivered, thick with desperation and regret.
But Kai remained unmoved. His icy gaze seemed to freeze the youngest sister’s brother to his core.
“Your sins can’t be erased with mere apologies. You didn’t just harm Xiong Ying and your sister—you destroyed your own soul and humanity.”
Kai’s voice was cold and merciless, like a death sentence.
Hearing this, the youngest sister’s brother’s legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.
“Sister! I was wrong! Please, save me!”
In his fear, he could only beg his sister for help.
The youngest sister stared at him, tears falling once again. Her heart ached for his wickedness, yet she feared Kai’s unshakable resolve.
She knew that no amount of pleading could change Kai’s decision.
“Kai, I… I’m willing to give my life in exchange for my brother’s. Please, just give him a chance to change.”
Suddenly, she dropped to her knees, hands clasped tightly, her tear-filled eyes pleading for mercy.
The youngest sister couldn’t be as heartless and cruel as her brother. No matter what, he was still her brother, and she couldn’t abandon him.
Kai’s expression softened slightly but quickly hardened again.
“Little sister, I understand your compassion, but justice and evil cannot be blurred by personal feelings. Your brother’s actions have crossed my bottom line.”
With those words, Kai moved like a phantom, appearing before the youngest sister’s brother. He slowly raised his hand, crackling with lightning—ready to deliver a fatal strike.
“No! Please, don’t! Kai, I was wrong! I truly was wrong!”
The youngest sister’s brother screamed in despair, but it was too late.
A flash of lightning burst forth, engulfing his entire body. All that remained were charred clothes and the lingering scent of burnt flesh.
His life ended in that instant.
Kai lowered his hand and looked at the youngest sister with a complicated gaze.
“I hope this teaches you a lesson. Greed and evil, once indulged, will drag people into the abyss.”
“Some mistakes can be forgiven, but some people never should be. Don’t blame me…”
The youngest sister could only cry helplessly. How could she blame Kai? This was entirely her brother’s fault.
On the side, Qiu Tu and Master Luan stared at the spot where the youngest sister’s brother had vanished. Their expressions grew increasingly grim.
Kai’s strength and methods repeatedly shattered their understanding.
But the most terrified was Qian Yue. He had thought that joining the Qiu family would bring wealth, fine clothes, and endless luxury.
Now, he realized how wrong he had been.
Regret overwhelmed him. He wished he had chosen to mine fairy stones with Kai instead of siding with the Qiu family.
But it was too late. He couldn’t escape the consequences awaiting him.
Desperately, Qian Yue glanced at Qiu Tu and Master Luan. He knew Kai wouldn’t spare him, and his only hope now was to rely on them.
