“Charon, as a human, you’re utterly inferior.” Winnie lowered his head slightly, spinning the smoking cylinder of the [Sixfold Hell] as he spoke.

“Oh my, Mr. Winnie, why must you be like this? Honestly, I truly can’t understand you. Since you already understand how filthy and murky this world truly is, filled with injustice, appearing civilized on the surface while its underlying laws remain no different than the primordial chaos from the dawn of creation, then why not join me and shatter this world instead?”

“Since the essence of this world is exactly as it is, why must you still maintain your purity and keep yourself untainted? Wouldn’t it be better to join it, then destroy it from within?” [Bloodied Debt] continued trying to seduce Winnie.

“Winnie, how dare you, a wicked young villain, talk to me about justice and morality?!” Charon’s face darkened as he clenched his fists, clearly speechless from Winnie’s retort. “Everyone knows exactly what kind of rotten scum you are. Even if people find out I killed you, they’d all consider it a public service!”

“Mr. Winnie, I truly admire your courage and determination. But no matter how lofty your ambitions may be, without life, nothing else matters. At the very least, you must survive first, right? Before pursuing ideals, shouldn’t one first face reality and remain grounded?” [Bloodied Debt] continued persuading.

“Just give me a definite answer. Choose to touch me, and this hypocritical bastard spouting righteousness while harboring a wolf’s heart and a dog’s lungs will instantly become your nourishment.” [Bloodied Debt] wasn’t in a rush, after all, it held all the power. “All these people who annoy you, you may slaughter them freely.”

“What exactly are you babbling about?!” Charon roared in anger.

“Master Charon, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. I offered you one, but you’re too stubborn, never decided. You crave power yet wish to commit evil, while still wanting to preserve a respectable facade. Honestly, it’s quite unimpressive.”

“I think any [Divine Weapon] , unless blind, could never possibly choose someone like you.” [Bloodied Debt] continued mocking. “Only a garbage dump like me, desperate and indiscriminate in its hunger, would even consider you. Although honestly, even I wouldn’t look twice at you if I weren’t used to feeding on trash.”

“You!” Charon was humiliated, yet dared not speak further. After all, if [Bloodied Debt] got in his way, he’d never be able to carry out his plan to kill Winnie. Worse, he’d end up becoming [Bloodied Debt] ‘ nourishment instead.

“Think carefully, Mr. Winnie. Is it worth dying over this filthy world and these filthy people? Will you truly accept that fate?” [Bloodied Debt] ignored Charon. “Why not just slaughter all these hateful people however you please?”

“And then, let me form a contract with you?” Winnie gripped the [Sixfold Hell] and calmly stared at the crimson demonic blade before him.

“Naturally. I’m merely a medium, I can’t kill on your behalf. Tell me, if you don’t firmly grasp me, how could I possibly assist you?” [Bloodied Debt] ‘ voice carried a hint of amusement.

“Heh.” Winnie remains noncommittal.

Of course, Winnie didn’t believe a word of this nonsense. If it truly couldn’t help, how had it used its autonomous consciousness to save Charon earlier?

Without [Bloodied Debt] ‘ interference, Winnie would’ve already crushed Charon. After taking a direct hit from a [Sixfold Hell] bullet, Charon should have had no chance of survival.

Winnie tightened his grip on the [Sixfold Hell]. Three bullets remained in the magazine, perhaps enough to deal with Charon, but far from sufficient against [Bloodied Debt].

The magical bombardment left on [Bloodied Debt] was rapidly regenerated and healed by the living blood vessels it extended, a blood shield capable of infinite regeneration.

“Hurry up and decide, Mr. Winnie. Although I’m quite interested in you, my patience isn’t limitless.” [Bloodied Debt] continued. “Are you willing to die at the hands of such a hypocritical villain?”

“…Fine. I accept your terms.” After a moment of silence, Winnie suddenly smiled coldly. “But first, you tear this bastard limb from limb.”

“Mr. Winnie, I’ve already said, this requires you to act yourself. I’m more than willing to lend you my power.” [Bloodied Debt] naturally wouldn’t fall for Winnie’s act, not before receiving tangible benefits.

“You bastard, Winnie!” Charon gritted his teeth, suddenly slashing through the air with a concealed flame blade aimed directly at Winnie.

He’d decided to strike first.

Yet, [Bloodied Debt] wouldn’t grant him such an opportunity.

“Pathetic.” Countless blood vessels shot out, firmly binding Charon mid-air.

“Damn it! You bastard!” His sword clatters to the ground. Helplessly bound in midair, Charon could only roar in fury.

“Master Charon, please remain quiet and don’t disturb my transaction with Mr. Winnie.” [Bloodied Debt] completely ignored Charon’s insults.

“Mr. Winnie, this man is already a fish on the chopping block. Step forward, form a contract with me, and his life will be yours.”

“You!” Charon naturally refused to accept his fate, but the power gap was too vast, he couldn’t break free from [Bloodied Debt] ‘ control.

“The choice is yours, Mr. Winnie. But let me make one thing clear, I won’t tolerate any deceit. If you attempt to trick me, you’ll be cutting off your own path to survival. I won’t spare you any further patience.” [Bloodied Debt] added.

Winnie remained silent, staring at [Bloodied Debt] , then glanced at Charon, and calmly stepped forward.

“You rotten schemer, I knew you’d turn out this way!” Seeing this, all Charon could do was unleash impotent rage.

Would Winnie really form a contract with [Bloodied Debt] ?

Of course not. That possibility had never even crossed his mind.

He was searching for an opening.

If he approached [Bloodied Debt] and Charon, was there a way to eliminate both?

Perhaps, but the likelihood of success in time was extremely low.

What should he do?

Moreover, he felt his feigned compliance wouldn’t fool [Bloodied Debt] . This was an ancient demonic entity who’d lived for who knows how many years, how could such a wily old fiend possibly be deceived?

Just as Winnie found himself at a loss, two people suddenly entered, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Winnie, we finally found you. You” Upon taking in the scene before her, Fanya’s earlier joy instantly turned into hesitation and shock, her eyes widening.

Winnie’s heart tightened as he turned to see the two who’d hurriedly arrived.

Amisa and Fanya.

Winnie inwardly cursed. Their timing couldn’t be worse. This scene was too easily misunderstood, especially if someone deliberately twisted it.

Before Winnie could think further, his worst fear came true.

“Fanya! Amisa! Run quickly! This guy Winnie has gone insane! Harboring hatred towards me, he’s actually colluded with the ultimate evil weapon [Bloodied Debt] to set up this trap!” Charon performed a classic theatrical face-change, just a moment ago, he’d been a terrifying demon from hell, now instantly transformed into a noble senior brother sacrificing himself for justice, a moral upright knight who valued the greater good.

Winnie turned his stern gaze toward Charon.

The scene was undeniably damning, Charon bound and controlled by [Bloodied Debt] , while Winnie walked toward the demonic blade, hand seeming reaching out to grasp it. Anyone testifying this would naturally draw the wrong conclusion.

“What?!” Fanya was dumbfounded, looking back and forth between Winnie standing mere steps from [Bloodied Debt] and Charon, who was restrained yet appeared defiant unto death.

“What are you hesitating for, Mr. Winnie? Didn’t we agree? I’d help you kill your enemy, then together we’d destroy and overturn this filthy, disgusting world?” [Bloodied Debt] naturally wouldn’t pass up Charon’s assistance, immediately continuing right where he left off, its voice laced with amusement.

“Adding two more witnesses doesn’t matter. We’ll kill them along with this knight, and the matter’s settled.”

[Bloodied Debt] was pushing Winnie toward opposing the entire world, leaving him no choice but to board its cursed ship.

After all, given the current situation, Winnie clearly understood that if he let Fanya and Amisa go, his collusion with the ultimate evil weapon would be confirmed. He’d have no place left in human society.

Only by decisively eliminating every witness present could he proceed, but doing so would mean there’d be no turning back.

With [Bloodied Debt] stirring the pot, the situation only grew blacker. Now, this misunderstanding was impossible to clarify.

“…” Winnie could only remain silently indignant, quietly shifting his gaze toward Fanya and Amisa.

He was all too familiar with this kind of scene.

Back in childhood, it had been exactly like this. Although he’d done nothing wrong, based solely on others’ words and misleading appearances, the blame had been pinned on him. No one believed him.

After that, Winnie’s steadily worsened, gradually turning his reputation into a universally overlooked street rat. Once this stereotype formed, no one ever believed him again, even when he wasn’t present, every evil deed was blamed on him.

Would it be the same this time?

Winnie stared deeply at Fanya and Amisa.

“Mr. Winnie, what exactly is going on?!” Fanya looked uneasily at the terrifying fleshy demonic sword.

This was undoubtedly the ancient evil artifact that had been hiding within the academy recently.

Could it be… Winnie was involved with it?

Fanya refused to believe it, but the current scene was far too misleading.

“I have nothing to do with it. It was Charon it sought out.” Winnie explained calmly.

“Hah! Winnie, at this critical moment, do you really think your nonsense will be believed?! Do you take everyone here for blind fools?!” Before Winnie could finish, Charon interrupted, his voice loud and self-righteous.

Indeed, Mr. Winnie, stop hesitating. Decency won’t feed you, will it? Stop clinging to appearances. Everyone knows what kind of person you are, don’t they?” [Bloodied Debt] chimed in, deepening the misunderstanding.

“Do you know what kind of person I am?” Winnie suddenly laughed, then turned and smiled at Fanya and Amisa. “And you two, do you know?”

“I’ve never done anything utterly despicable. Never. Will you believe me, or believe them?” Winnie asked Amisa and Fanya once more.

After speaking, Winnie slightly lowered his gaze, only for a small, jade-like hand to gently cover his own.

“Winnie, we believe you.” Amisa had somehow approached Winnie without notice, Fanya followed closely behind her.

“Winnie, me and little Fanya will always believe you. We’ll always follow you.”

Winnie’s eyes widened, staring at the pure, golden-haired girl before him. At this moment, Amisa was like a guiding light in the darkness. He glanced at Fanya behind her, who also nodded firmly.

“You’re… willing to believe me?” Overwhelmed and astonished, Winnie was deeply moved.

Even now, Winnie, your eyes remain crystal clear.” Amisa held Winnie’s hand, as if trying to warm his frostbitten hand with her own.

“So then, what really happened?” Fanya asked as well.

“Charon secretly colluded with the demonic sword, brought it here, and previously attempted to kill me.” Winnie told the truth.

“Winnie! You’re slandering me! Fellow juniors, look at the current situation, clearly, he’s the one blinded by greed, colluding with [Bloodied Debt] to eliminate me here!” Charon shouted.

“You’re lying.” Amisa’s soft voice carried firm conviction. “The magic gun in Mr. Winnie’s hand is still smoking, clearly having been fired recently. If Mr. Winnie had colluded with the ultimate evil sword, why would he have used his gun, and failed to kill you?”

“So then, what exactly was Mr. Winnie’s magic gun fired at earlier?”

“Senior Charon, right now, your eyes are filled with filthy, murky lies, hiding the deepest, bubbling poison pit within… What exactly have you done to make the very color of your eyes appear so terrifying?” Amisa stepped back.

Charon was instantly rendered speechless.

“…Ah, so it’s the [Flawless Eyes] after all.” After a moment of contemplation, [Bloodied Debt] spoke with some frustration. “To encounter such a thing…”

“You little girl, at this moment, I really want to gouge out your eyes.”

“You dare?!” Winnie pulled Amisa back, shielding her behind him while aiming the [Sixfold Hell] at [Bloodied Debt] .

“How boring. With such a thing present, there’s no fun left.”

“To think I finally found a suitable host, only for a [Flawless Eyes] to ruin everything.”

“Little girl, do you know that sometimes pretending to see nothing, or acting like a mute, can make your death far less painful?” With that, [Bloodied Debt] released its bindings, and Charon fell to the ground.

“What are you doing?!”
