Cleaning Up

Zuo Yi did not kill Bai Jingqi, despite the latter's monstrous crimes.

As Zuo Yi had said, giving Bai Jingqi a quick death now would be far too easy on him.

When the Giant Worm had burst from the ground, Zuo Yi had smelled the heavy stench of blood and clearly sensed the blood-soaked malice radiating from it.

Who knew how many wronged souls and how much resentment clung to that monstrous worm? As its master, Bai Jingqi had amassed an unimaginable weight of sin.

So Zuo Yi would not let him die easily. With one punch, he knocked Bai Jingqi unconscious and shattered his Superhuman Source.

With Bai Jingqi dealt with, the hall fell completely silent.

Perhaps the fighting had been too fierce, or perhaps Bai Jingqi had given orders beforehand. Either way, no other members of the Bai family had come running.

But through his Mental Network, Zuo Yi sensed plenty of people around the villa.

Frightened and bewildered, they hovered at a distance, too afraid to approach.

Zuo Yi ignored them. He put away the Desert Eagle and took out his phone.

Ring, ring!

The moment he had it in his hand, it rang.

The caller was Wu Yongjian.

Wu Yongjian had called earlier, while Zuo Yi was on his way to the Bai Estate. After learning where Zuo Yi was headed, he had sounded deeply worried.

Clearly still anxious, he asked, "Chief Zuo, how are things?"

"One moment."

Zuo Yi answered with those two words, then switched on the video function in the call interface.

His phone was a custom model issued by the Superhuman Administration, with more powerful features than an ordinary phone. Its ultra-high-resolution camera transmitted a live view of the hall to Wu Yongjian.

That included Bai Jingqi, lying at Zuo Yi's feet.
