Chapter 1615: Karma

“Jetson is a cyborg that was transformed from a human. This is what you want to say to me, right?” Yang Ming smiled, as if saying something very common, “Everything inside his body is made of machinery, so it can be said that now Jetson can no longer be called a normal person, he should be a cyborg. This is why he could be vigorous and lively for many years after he was about to die of a chronic sickness.”

“You- How do you know?” Wich was suddenly surprised and wondered. He thought that he had discovered the matter himself. How could Yang Ming know about it?

Wich had accidentally discovered this secret! Wich was very depressed during Jetson’s first night in the Lancer Family. He knew that he had no chance as Kevithan would sit firmly in the seat of the Family Master as he had Jetson as a powerful backer.

The family master position was supposed to fall on his head after a few years, but now it seemed like it was an illusion. How could Wich not be depressed?

So, Wich didn’t sleep that night. Instead, he sat in a remote corner of the manor, quietly watching the night sky, and reminiscing about the things he had done all these years. He thought about the joy of being the family master’s heir and having Grandfather’s guidance, the mood when they deliberately had troubled the Butterfly Family after Goode was in trouble, and his depressed mood now.

A series of things flashed through his mind like a movie. Wich really had the urge to cry. He had a great future but it was ruined by such a thing.

I want to blame Goode, but that is not necessary. If I hadn’t tried to help Goode to come up with an idea at first and trouble the Butterfly Family with such a trick, how could this series of things happen?

I can only blame myself for being nosy. If I had stopped in front of Grandfather, it probably wouldn’t have ended like this. But who can I blame? To put it bluntly, Wich had helped Goode just because he wanted to pretend and show his strength to feel good from the admiration of others.

But for this momentary feeling, he had lost the family master position; it was extremely sad.

However, just as Wich was complaining, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard. Wich was shocked. He didn’t want others to see him so depressed, so he quickly hid in the bushes at the side, and was afraid to even breathe aloud. If someone in the family like Slade or Lecroft saw me, they might laugh at me!

Wich didn’t want to be the subject of ridicule, so he just wanted to wait for the footsteps to go away before coming out.

The moment Wich held his breath, he heard a weird sound!

“How many years has it been since I lay in bed at night and slept? I’m really not used to it!”

The strange words suddenly made Wich feel somewhat inexplicable. Through the faint moonlight, Wich suddenly noticed that the person who spoke not far away was Cousin Jetson!

Wich didn’t dare to breath when he saw someone from Kevithan’s side. Although he was curious about Jetson’s words, he was reluctant to ask. After all, he was depressed with tears on his face. He would lose face if he was seen by others.

“However, this body is really good. Dr. Benjamin is really amazing. He actually replaced all the internal organs in my body with precise electronic components. But I still retain my previous memories and it gives me the free-will to think. It’s incredible!” Jetson sighed again and said to himself, “I never thought that such an opportunity would let me see Cousin Kevithan again. I have become a superman in his eyes!”

Wich’s was suddenly agape after he heard Jetson’s words! He never thought that Jetson’s real identity was a cyborg and not a normal person! When he thought about it, Grandpa Thomas’s words about Jetson crushing a marble conference table with one hand during the day didn’t seem so strange anymore!

Jetson seemed to have become the Terminator. This made Wich shocked and scared. He didn’t even dare to speak out. He was afraid that Jetson would kill him without hesitation after realizing that he knew his secret.

He waited for a while, and finally heard the sound of Jetson’s leaving footsteps along with a mutter, “Go back and pretend to sleep. Although I’m not used to it, I don’t want some clues to be found out by people in the Lancer Family.”

After knowing Jetson’s true identity, Wich also disregarded the position of family master. It was not as pressing as before. This was because he already understood that it was simply impossible for him to succeed the position while the powerful backer Jetson exists. He was not the opponent of a cyborg.

Naturally, Wich dared not talk about Jetson’s secret. Who knows what Jetson would do to him after the secret was spread!

However, now that Jetson was dead, Wich wanted to use this secret to achieve his purpose of an exchange with Yang Ming. Originally, he felt that it was a sure thing, but Yang Ming had disturbed his plan with just a few words.

Yang Ming knows it! Yang Ming actually knew that Jetson was a cyborg, so the information Wich talked about had become useless. Although Wich was extremely frustrated, he also realized that Yang Ming hadn’t deceived him and he really knew Jetson’s secret.

“You already know, so how can I not know?” Yang Ming twitched his lips and said plainly, “What you said about Central is not a secret at all. All the big families in the upper-class society basically know. Do you think I don’t know?”

“I didn’t mean that. I was talking about Jetson’s secret…” Wich didn’t expect that what Yang Ming really didn’t know about was indeed Central.

“Jetson’s secret? He jumped into the burning pool by himself, and his exterior melted away. The internal machinery was naturally exposed. After a while, it turned into a pool of molten metal. I saw it with my own eyes. What’s hard to know?” Yang Ming shrugged and said naturally. Of course, Yang Ming was simply talking. Yang Ming could not tell Wich that he discerned it through his special ability of x-ray vision. Even if Wich was a person who was about to die, Yang Ming had no plans to tell him his secret.

“So that’s it…” Wich sighed and bitterly said, “It seems that my information is one step behind and has become useless…”

“It’s good that you know.” Although Yang Ming felt that Wich was a daring and knowledgeable talent, he couldn’t be left alive because he was a talent. So he said, “Okay, I should kill you now. If you have the opportunity to be born in the next life, be born into an ordinary little family. This big family is not good for you.”

Wich’s face showed a complicated look. He knew that he couldn’t escape, so he calmly said, “I never expected and unexpected character like you. No wonder the Buffon Family suddenly made a good deal with the Butterfly Family. You must’ve connected them, right?”

“Yes!” Yang Ming didn’t hide from Wich’s question.

“Hehe, so that’s it. No wonder, no wonder…” Wich said “no wonder” repeatedly. “Sure enough, the people of the Lancer Family aren’t smart. We’re arrogant to a certain extent. We should have known that there must be a powerful person in the midst when such a proud family like the Buffon Family descended to make friends with the Butterfly Family. But all of us have ignored this… It’s not a loss to lose in your hands!”

Thomas looked at his grandson with a decisive look on his face, and his expression was gloomy. It was so simple. Why didn’t they think about it at first? If they had thought about it, could they have avoided this disaster?

“Yang Ming, do it, but please give us a quick death. Don’t torture us.” Thomas was calm in the situation of despair.

Chapter 1616: Escape From Detainment

Yang Ming looked at the bodies of Thomas and Wich lying on the ground in front of him and sighed slightly. If they had known earlier, things would have gone differently.

Yang Ming did not torture Thomas and Wich but killed them quickly. The two had not actually done anything wrong. They wanted to avenge their grandson and cousin, but that was human nature. They simply chose the wrong person to take revenge on.

In fact, this was nothing; this was just the law of the jungle[1]. If Yang Ming had not appeared, the Butterfly Family would likely have been slaughtered by the Lancer Family. It was just that their respective standpoints and ideas were different.

Yang Ming did almost everything silently; these people didn’t even have a chance to shoot, so the other members of the Lancer Family were not alarmed.

Yang Ming had already checked with his special ability. The Lancer Family’s important people were now gathered in the Lancer Family’s ballroom, waiting to celebrate Jetson’s victory.

Although everyone knew about Goode’s death, Slade and Lecroft did not show any peculiarity at all. This person had nothing to do with them. Anyway, as he had asked someone to inform Thomas, others would not bother about how he dealt with it.

Since they were all sitting together, Yang Ming could avoid looking for them one by one. It was a lot easier. Yang Ming quickly ran towards a warehouse in the Lancer Family Manor.

Yang Ming had searched this warehouse with his special ability before. It contained a large arsenal of firearms. Yang Ming’s goal this time was exactly here.

“Who-” Around the arsenal, several of the Lancer Family’s gatekeeper disciples fell to the ground before they could respond. They could only ask the word “who” before their eyes rolled, apparently dead.

Yang Ming knew that this was not the time to be soft-hearted. This was the enemy’s territory, and being a little compassionate might cause problems.

He easily opened the arsenal’s door with the master key and destroyed several infrared alarms and monitoring devices. Yang Ming went straight to the second floor of the arsenal.

There was something on each floor of the arsenal. Yang Ming had already known it through his prior investigation, so there was no need to search one by one. On the second floor of the arsenal, Yang Ming took a bazooka before he quickly left.

Looking at the luxuriously decorated large restaurant not far away, Yang Ming smiled coldly and blasted it with the bazooka. The originally beautiful restaurant instantly turned into a pile of rubble. Most likely everyone inside had been killed if there were no cyborgs like Jetson.

However, Yang Ming still carefully used his special ability to explore the pile of gravel, then smiled with satisfaction. The entire backbone of the Lancer Family had been gathered in the restaurant. But Yang Ming’s shot had turned them all into vengeful spirits under the gravel.

Yang Ming dropped the bazooka in his hand and ran to the place where Wang Songshan was held without stopping. It was lucky that the Lancer Family’s firearms facilities were comprehensive. Otherwise, Yang Ming would have to go to the restaurant and kill them one by one.

Although all the members of the Lancer Family were dead, there were still some servants and disciples. Such a great deal of activity alerted these people and they also heard the explosion at this time. Yang Ming was afraid of encountering more problems, so he rushed to Wang Songhan’s place of capture.

It was very easy to open the loft door with the master key. Yang Ming quickly ran to a room on the second floor. Yang Ming had already searched for and confirmed Wang Songshan’s location, so there was no need to look for him in each room. He went directly to the designated door and opened it with the master key.

Wang Songshan had also heard the explosion outside, but because his hands and feet were tied up with iron chains, he couldn’t go to the window to watch. Although he was confused, there was nothing he could do.

Wang Songshan suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, so he was immediately vigilant. Did something serious happen in the Lancer family? Someone is opening the door at this time, what could it be?

Subconsciously, Wang Songshan felt that it would not be a very good thing. After all, he had never encountered any good things while he was in the Lancer Family.

“Uncle Wang!” Yang Ming quickly opened the door and strode in. The familiar voice made Wang Songshan’s nervous heart suddenly relax.

“Yang Ming! Why are you here?” Wang Songshan’s eyes held an unspeakable joy. He thought that he wouldn’t ever be able to leave in this life if he didn’t agree to the Lancer Family’s proposal. The Lancer Family might even lose patience and kill him.

Therefore, Wang Songshan was prepared to die. After all, in this environment, it was a blessing to be alive for an extra day. He didn’t want to cause any trouble to Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming, and he couldn’t ruin his daughter’s lifetime happiness for his life.

But Wang Songshan did not expect that Yang Ming would break through the door and rekindled his hope of survival.

“Of course I’m here to save you. Uncle Wang, let’s leave here first. The Lancer Family has likely become messy!” Yang Ming said this while keeping his hands busy. He quickly unlocked the chain on Wang Songshan’s hands and feet with the master key, then quickly massaged the bruised parts.

Wang Songshan was also an assassin, so naturally, he was clear on what Yang Ming was doing. His gaze towards Yang Ming became kind and grateful. Wang Songshan secretly thought that he did not pick the wrong person, but most importantly, Yanyan did not find the wrong person!

Yang Ming was able to rescue him by risking his life, which was a good illustration of Yang Ming’s heart. Even if the rescue was unsuccessful, Wang Songshan would not blame him.

“Uncle Wang, why don’t you move around to see if it’s okay? If you can walk, let’s leave quickly; let’s not delay any longer.” Yang Ming said as he stopped the massage and stood up.

“I’m fine, let’s go!” Wang Songshan was not a shy person. He stood up. Although his ankle was a little painful, he didn’t care. He followed Yang Ming out of the room and ran out of the loft.

“Uncle Wang, just follow me!” Yang Ming said as he started to run. This was the escape route he had found when he entered the Lancer Family Manor. They could quickly leave this place using this route.

“Yang Ming, did you cause that explosion?” Although Wang Songshan asked Yang Ming this question, his pace did not slow and he ran closely with Yang Ming.

“En, I caused it.” Yang Ming did not deny and said truthfully.

“It turns out to be creating a diversion. But we still need to be careful. I battled Jetson before, and he is simply not a normal person. I couldn’t harm him no matter what weapon I used. If we encounter him, we will be in trouble!” Wang Songshan nodded, then reminded.

“Jetson?” Yang Ming was slightly stunned then immediately knew that Wang Songshan had misunderstood. He thought that Yang Ming first created an explosion to attract the attention of the Lancer Family, and then came over to release him using the resultant diversion.

“Yeah, you’re lucky that you haven’t met him. If I had known that you would take the risk and come, I would have planned first!” Wang Songshan was very pleased that Yang Ming could come to save him, but he didn’t intend for Yang Ming to take risks. After all, Wang Xiaoyan had lost her father; the blow to her could be imagined if she lost her lover too.

Because of this, Wang Songshan didn’t want Yang Ming to take risks! Anyway, I’m not young anymore. It’s okay if I die as long as Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming are happy in the future.

“Uncle Wang, you misunderstand… I killed Jetson.” Yang Ming was somewhat dumbfounded as he explained.

“Oh, Jetson was killed by you…” When Wang Songshan said this, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face, “What are you talking about? You killed Jetson?”

“Yeah,” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “This guy was the most difficult one. If I didn’t settle him, you think he can let me open the door and let you out? When I came, he was sitting in the courtyard at the front of the loft!”

“Jetson… is really dead? He was killed by you?” It was not that Wang Songshan did not believe Yang Ming; he was just too shocked. Wang Songshan was clear about Jetson’s strength. This strong person who I couldn’t even run away from was taken down by Yang Ming’s hands?
