Immense fear became a shadow that shrouded everyone's hearts. Not one of them dared move. The armed guards felt cold all over, unable even to feel the weapons in their hands.
It was as though they held not guns and cannons, but sodden sticks of firewood.
"Who said we came to save you?"
A voice filled with disgust rang throughout the space.
Su Wuwei took a step forward, crouched before the man trembling in terror, and curiously patted his cheek.
"You knew enough to be afraid, yet you still went looking for death. Did you think no one in this world could punish you?"
"I only did what I was supposed to do..."
During that brief respite, the terrified man gradually calmed himself.
What storms hadn't he weathered? As long as these people could still communicate, they were bound to have selfish desires. And anyone with selfish desires had weaknesses.
What in this world couldn't he give them?
"What do you want?"
Ye Buyu thought he had gone mad. Death was staring him in the face, and he was actually asking what they wanted.
"I possess things beyond your imagination. Money, power-as long as you're willing to save me, I can give you anything you want."
Ye Buyu tilted her head and pointed at the Warden, who had become a Calamity. "Can you turn him back into a human? All right, you can't. Let's try something else."
She murmured, "Can you bring his wife and child back to life? Can you bring back the people of Panshi Star? Can you revive those who died in the battle? Can you spare your planet the suffering of disaster?"
She pressed the silver muzzle against his forehead and coldly pulled the trigger.
The cold bullet embedded itself in flesh and pierced his skull.
