Chapter 2559 - 2560: Farewell

Chapter 2559: Chapter 2560: Farewell

Lin Chen faced the life-and-death torture of the Little Tyrant, feeling a particular hatred, yet helpless because he had not only lost his powers but was also tightly bound by chains.

Lin Chen felt the red-hot branding iron, tearing his flesh layer by layer, with pus continuously flowing from his stomach.

The Little Tyrant immensely enjoyed this moment. Ever since he saw Lin Chen, he was determined to eliminate him someday.

"I’m telling you, I did all this myself, meant to frame you. But what can you do to me?"

The Little Tyrant was very influential in this place. Whenever he made a request, everyone would strive to fulfill it, because in many people’s eyes, only by pleasing him could they secure a position within the family.

"You’re quite ruthless."

Though Lin Chen felt unbearable pain, he remained calm and composed, believing that a person’s resolute will is far scarier than physical strength.

"Do you know that you will die tomorrow?"

The Little Tyrant seemed somewhat disappointed, because when he captured Lin Chen, he had hoped to see fear in Lin Chen’s eyes.

He had been waiting for this moment, but after so long, he still hadn’t seen Lin Chen show any corresponding emotion in front of him.

"I know."

Lin Chen always chose his words carefully, saying only a few words in response to the Little Tyrant, which further made the Little Tyrant feel an unprecedented sense of insult.

"I want to see how long you can keep up your stubbornness."

The Little Tyrant then heated five or six branding irons, glowing brilliantly red in the air, chilling anyone who saw them, as he slowly took steps towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen understood that if those branding irons touched him, he might die a violent death today, causing no impact on the Little Tyrant.

Because he could fabricate a perfect excuse to escape the sins he committed.

Just as the branding iron in the opponent’s hand was about to land on his body, suddenly a girl’s voice was heard outside.

The Little Tyrant put the branding iron into the hot pot and turned around to find Nangong Xue standing at the door, trembling slightly in anger.

"What exactly are you doing?" Nangong Xue shouted with questioning and reprimanding.

The Little Tyrant appeared somewhat embarrassed, knowing Nangong Xue still couldn’t let go of Lin Chen, despite his attempts to torture him.

Finally having a chance to be with Nangong Xue in the future, but realizing his recent actions might make this slim hope vanish.

"It’s not what you think, Xue, let me explain."

Coming to Nangong Xue’s side, preparing to find an excuse for his actions, but Nangong Xue acted decisively, striking his chest directly.

The Little Tyrant, with skills surpassing Nangong Xue, quickly evaded and then moved outside the cell.

"I still say, you better stay away from him."

Ever since Nangong Xue’s father left, she managed many large and small family affairs, but the elders were not convinced.

Many people in the family appeared loyal to Nangong, yet in reality, they had already changed allegiance to the Little Tyrant.

Being the actual controller of the Nangong family, if the Little Tyrant desired, the Nangong family could be destroyed at any time.

Nangong Xue walked slowly towards Ling Chen, her heart immensely conflicted at this moment.

"Why did you do this?" Nangong Xue looked at Lin Chen, asking slowly.

Despite her reluctance to harm Lin Chen, Nangong Xue still told herself that for the family’s lasting stable rule, she must bear the pain and sacrifice.

"Do you believe I didn’t harm them?" Lin Chen looked at Nangong Xue, weakly replying.

Lin Chen now felt unprecedented calm, holding no resentment towards anyone, including the Little Tyrant.

He only resented himself.

He shouldn’t have gotten involved in their matters, and if Nangong Xue had made a request from the start, he could have chosen to refuse, then none of what happened afterward would have occurred.

"You’re going to die tomorrow, why are you still arguing?" Nangong Xue looked at Ling Chen in front of her, feeling disappointed, not expecting him to be someone who wouldn’t own up to his actions.

"If that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say. But thank you for choosing to give me a unique manner of death." Lin Chen faintly smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Nangong Xue intended to push him into the abyss because of the legendary gemstone hidden within.

It is rumored the gemstone absorbs human blood.

Unless encountering a supreme life form, the gemstone would swallow anyone falling off the cliff, making the cruelest death for the Nangong family to fall into the abyss.

"You’re not a supreme life form, so you’ll be devoured by the gemstone, experiencing unprecedented pain."

Nangong Xue knew her complete sacrifice of him for the family’s benefit seemed ruthless and inhumane.

But from a certain angle, this was inevitable.

"Is it? Why?" Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly burned with hope because he had just ruled out being a supreme life form.

Nangong Xue never thought she might be a supreme life form.

"Did I not tell you before? The gemstone only becomes precious when combined with a supreme life form."

Many people knew this, hence despite having such a supreme treasure, the Nangong family remained at peace over the years, with no one competing for it.

Understanding that if their physique didn’t meet the gemstone’s requirement, it would just be a worthless object, civil wars were not worth it.

"Soon the Eastern family will attack us. I must focus all my energy on the family affairs." He looked calmly at Lin Chen before him and said.

"Alright, I hope you can defeat the Eastern family in the future." Lin Chen still expressed his inner blessings.
