Chapter 1064
“Boom!”
Dylan’s head suddenly dropped like a ball and rolled twice on the ground.
His eyes were wide as bells, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Even in the face of death, he hadn’t anticipated that Scarlet would abruptly end his life.
The one who was supposed to be their saviour had turned into a catastrophe.
“Ah?”
The sudden scene shocked everyone, leaving them dumbfounded.
Their expressions were as if they’d seen a ghost.
What was going on?
As the head coach of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, wasn’t Scarlet, the God of War, supposed to defend Trent?
Why was he taking lives now?
Exactly?
“Dead…dead?”
Trent’s eyes widened in shock and bewilderment.
“How could this happen? Why did Scarlet, the God of War, kill Dylan?”
Kate looked stunned and unable to fathom it.
“No…impossible…”
Jacob was thunderstruck, standing rooted to the spot, struggling to accept it.
He even questioned whether he had been mistaken. How could something so outrageous occur?
At this moment, nobody was composed.
The scene before them was truly unforeseen.
When they encountered Scarlet, they had assumed Dustin would be in jeopardy soon.
Who would have imagined Dylan would be the first victim?
And throughout the entire ordeal, Scarlet gave no explanation, no excuse, not even a moment’s pause. Just a swift, uncomplicated execution, as straightforward as slaughtering chickens and dogs.
Yet, it was also confounding to witness.
Could it be that a person was put to death solely based on a sentence?
That seemed far too extreme, didn’t it?
“Sir, what… what are you doing?”
At that moment, Zhao Weiwu, standing nearby, was also stunned and trembling for an instant.
Dylan’s severed head came to rest right by his feet.
His unflinching gaze sent shivers down his spine.
“Naturally, I’m cleansing the ranks. What else?” Scarlet flicked the blood away from his sword, and with a “clang,” it was sheathed once more.
“Cleansing the ranks?”
Zhao Weiwu raised the corner of his mouth and ventured, “Sir, have you perhaps misconstrued something? Dylan is an officer of our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He is an honourable man with exceptional abilities. He seems to have committed no wrongdoings. Isn’t it a tad peculiar to dispatch him in this manner? Inappropriate, if I may say so?”
There must be a justifiable cause for such a killing, surely?
Even if you’re not going to inquire, brandishing a sword like that is too much for anyone to bear.
“What? Are you instructing me on how to carry out my duties?”
Scarlet’s cold glare made Zhao Weiwu tremble in fright, prompting him to explain hastily, “The general wouldn’t dare, the general is merely of the opinion that Dylan’s transgressions do not warrant death.”
“Didn’t you hear just now? This man hired an assassin and took innocent lives. Shouldn’t he pay with his own?” Scarlet spoke matter-of-factly.
“These are all the biased claims of that man, hardly reliable.” Zhao Weiwu braved on.
“I have faith in him, and that’s sufficient.” Scarlet was resolute.
“Ah?”
Zhao Weiwu was momentarily flummoxed, struggling to react.
Was this an explanation?
Wasn’t this too hasty?
“Zhao Weiwu, as a general, you’ve failed to maintain proper discipline among your subordinates, allowing them to commit crimes. You’re guilty of dereliction of duty. Upon your return, you’ll be demoted by one rank and confined to the wall for three months.” Scarlet pronounced.
“Sir, I…” Zhao Weiwu began, but was cut off by Scarlet raising his hand, “Speak out of turn again, and you’ll be put on kitchen duty.”
Zhao Weiwu fell silent, not daring to utter another word.
He wore a mournful expression, as if his parents had passed away.
If he’d known, he shouldn’t have spoken up for Dylan.
Up to this point, not only had he gained nothing, but he’d also been demoted.
Who could he even reason with in this situation?
