Many people began to tremble, some even wet their pants in fear, crying out to Muto Dongying for help:

“Mr. Muto! Save us!”

“I don’t want to die! Please!!”

“Mr. Muto… please stop… otherwise we’re all finished…”

“Father!!! Waa!!!”

Watching the chainsaw hover above his son’s head, Muto Dongying’s psychological defenses wavered, and cold sweat soaked the haori he wore.

He trembled as he removed the strangling rope from around the little girl’s neck, speaking in the calmest tone possible: “Brother Su Mo, let’s all calm down and not act recklessly.”

“This is a showdown between us, it has nothing to do with my family, they’re innocent!”

Upon hearing the word ‘innocent,’ the smile vanished from Su Mo’s face, replaced by a coldness: “Innocent?”

“Yes, your family indeed has nothing to do with this matter. But have you ever thought, the Nannan you hung to death, was she not innocent?”

“Crow’s Nest keeps saying everything is for the borderlands. Are you really for the borderlands? Bullshit, you’re just for the royal election, trying to avoid being ousted by the wolves, so you can continue to rule the borderlands.”

“If Crow’s Nest truly had balls, they’d blow up the City Council, trample the Public Security Bureau—then I wouldn’t say a damn thing. But you? Too cowardly to face power, backhandedly killing an innocent 7-year-old child?”

“Were you happy when you killed her? Proud? Were you thinking about the glorious future Hong Quansheng was about to reward you with?”

“You’re trash that’s worse than a beast, now pretending to be pitiable, telling me about innocence? You talk shit, just die!”

Su Mo raised and dropped the saw, cutting Muto Kenta completely open.

“Kenta!!!” Muto Dongying screamed a heart-wrenching cry.

The crowd in the square was also shocked, both the rioters and the security fighters were scared stiff.

No one expected such a lunatic, publicly sawing a live person without hesitation.

Muto Dongying’s eyes turned red, his saliva flying as he roared like an enraged bull.

He pinned the little girl at the windowsill, placing the prosthetic blade at her neck, screaming in a hoarse voice: “Fuck! I’ll chop off her head!!!”

Su Mo wiped the splattered blood off his face with his sleeve, his smile crystal clear: “Go ahead, chop her, I don’t care. I already said, those hostages have nothing related to me, whether one or ten die, what does it matter to me?”

“Hey, let’s have a competition then. You chop one up there, I saw one down here, let’s see who breaks first, woohoo~”

He let out a light-hearted laugh, and the chainsaw roared back to life, raised above Muto Xiaonai’s head.

To saw a living person in half and still retain such a pure smile, Muto Dongying was completely chilled.

Is this man a Mercenary?

He’s a lunatic who escaped from an insane asylum, isn’t he!

The authorities must have sent a mad dog to throw everything in chaos!

“Vroom——” The sound of the rotating teeth was deafening, the pungent smell of tar assailed the nostrils, causing Muto Xiaonai to wet herself in fear.

This obese woman screamed heart-wrenchingly, like a pig placed on the slaughter block, crying out to Muto Dongying: “Dongying!!! Save me, I don’t want to die!!!”

Grief tore at Muto Dongying’s heart like claws, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

He recalled their impoverished childhood, when the siblings couldn’t fill their bellies, his sister always let him eat first, ending up hungry and pale, leading to her obesity from retaliatory eating in adulthood.

The scenes of their sibling childhood made him sob uncontrollably.

Life-for-life?

Trading the lives of some Inner City brats for a fatal exchange with his most important family members?

How is he supposed to accept this…

The blade at the little girl’s neck kept trembling, unable to chop down no matter what.

Muto Dongying withdrew the prosthetic blade, suppressing the pain of losing a son, his voice hoarse and eyes red, saying: “Listen… It doesn’t have to come to this… Isn’t your goal to save people? Let’s make a deal!”

“You release my family, and I’ll release the same number of hostages! Double the people! Triple even! How about it? Save so many, enough to make you a hero!”

Su Mo grinned, his stark white teeth contrasting sharply with the blood not yet wiped off his face: “You seem to misunderstand something, Muto Dongying.”

“Negotiations require the proper bargaining chips. I have what you care about, but you lack what I care about.”

“So, where do you get the audacity to bark at me?”

“Vroom——” the chainsaw revved again, sawing the crying Muto Xiaonai in half.

“Sister!!!” Muto Dongying screamed, his entire being nearly fainting.

Amid the cries of shock, Su Mo scanned the Muto family crowd, patting one on the shoulder, touching another’s head, like a butcher inspecting prey: “Let me see, who’s next to saw~”

Muto Dongying cried so much he kept hitting his head against the wall, this malicious thug perhaps never thought, the cruelty he inflicted upon others would be repaid so mercilessly upon himself.

Just as Muto Dongying was consumed by unbearable grief, an elderly voice shouted: “Dongying!!!”

Muto Yusuke was bound hand and foot, kneeling on the ground, but his back was straight, resembling a noble old samurai facing death.

His face exuded authority, his eyes fierce like a guardian deity: “You are a man, no crying allowed! We have already pledged to dedicate ourselves to Crow’s Nest, offering everything without hesitation!”

“Even if we all die, we stand tall and offer our lives to Crow’s Nest, defending the group’s honor! This is the Samurai Way of the Muto family!!!”

With that shout from Muto Yusuke, Su Mo set his sights on him.

“Vroom——” The chainsaw roared.

Su Mo approached Muto Yusuke’s side, rubbing the back of his head like a hand on a pig: “Well said, don’t say it again in the next life.”

“Father! Father!!!” Muto Dongying reached out from the windowsill, as if trying to grasp Muto Yusuke, he shouted in agony, “Don’t harm my father! Or I…”

“Slash——” Muto Dongying’s impotent threat was interrupted, the chainsaw went for Muto Yusuke.

“This is… The Samurai Way… of our Muto family…” Initially, Muto Yusuke held a stern expression, attempting to use the willpower honed over years of martial arts training to endure the agony, determined not to scream before the enemy.

“Our… Samurai… Ah… Ah! Waa!!!!” That resolve lasted barely seconds, shattered under the saw blade.

Muto Yusuke’s so-called Samurai Way, his resolve and dignity collapsed instantly, his entire being screamed, howling like an old dog.

Finally, this “samurai” convulsed for several minutes, enduring inhuman torture, before dying from excessive blood loss.

Su Mo picked up the loudspeaker, joked: “Ah, already gone? I expected you Samurai Way practitioners to be invulnerable~”

Muto Dongying’s face was streaked with tears, his mouth gaping, his voice rendered mute from shouting.

Su Mo roved the chainsaw around the Muto family crowd, gleefully urging: “Mr. Muto, we agreed you kill one, I saw one, so why aren’t you acting? If you don’t, I’ll keep going~”

Finally, Muto Dongying’s psychological defenses collapsed, he begged Su Mo with swollen eyes and clasped hands: “Please… I beg you… stop killing… stop killing…”

Su Mo’s face twisted in a sinister grin: “Now you regret? I’m telling you, it’s too late!”

“We’re nowhere near done, die!”

“Vroom——” The chainsaw roared the fourth time, raised above the head of the sobbing Muto Kazue.
