Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 470, 469: Repaying Kindness and Taking Revenge
The once solid and stable embankment is now reduced to half a wall in ruins.

Standing at the gap in the ravine, Abbott looked down at the surging river below and felt his heart tremble.

If it weren't for the mute Jin holding him tightly, Abbott would have loved to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Didn't you come here to try and find a solution?"

Abbott shouted, "Have you figured out the problem yet?"

Since reaching the shore, Jin the Mute has never spoken again.

He was staring blankly at the surging, roaring river in front of him, lost in thought.

Receiving no reply, Abbott looked up at him and exclaimed, "Are you deaf?!"

But then the mute man's lips parted slightly: "Repay kindness...take revenge..."

The sound of the water was too loud for Albert to hear clearly: "What did you say?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Swish!
A flash of cold light, and a bloody gash appeared on the back of Abbott's hand. He shuddered in pain, and the mute Jin seized the opportunity to snatch his cane.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that Dumb Jin was holding a razor blade between his two fingers.

A look of panic flashed in Abbott's eyes, and he instinctively reached for his cane.

Dumb Jin threw his cane directly into the river.

"you--"

Abbott stared at him, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.

Dumb Jin remained calm and said indifferently, "I know, that's your protective artifact. Having been by your side for eight years, I know almost everything, both what I should and shouldn't know."

Abbott gripped his wrist tightly and slowly backed away, blood trickling through his fingers into the mud, only to be washed away by the heavy rain in an instant.

Abbott said in a low voice, "King Koan, do you know what you're doing? I advise you to think it through..."

"It couldn't be clearer."

Dumb Jin stepped forward: "I know killing you would be troublesome, and your bodyguard will be back soon."

He paused, then chuckled, "So I'd better hurry. Before I take you and jump into the Heavenly Waterfall River, I'll make sure you feel as much pain as possible."

"You are crazy!"

Abbott's pupils constricted sharply, and he turned and ran without hesitation.

However, he was too slow to run fast, and since Dumb Jin was prepared, he hadn't run more than a few steps before Dumb Jin grabbed him by the collar from behind.

The blade sliced ​​through the puddle, and one of Albert's ears fell into the water.

"what!!"

Abbott screamed in agony, covering his ears, and collapsed to the ground.

Dumb Jin mounted him, flipped Abbott over, and swung his knife twice more, leaving two deep gashes on his face.

“Mr. Abbott, don’t beg for mercy yet, this is just the appetizer.”

At this moment, Abbott's face was covered in blood, and he was no longer dignified. He rolled around on the ground frantically, and even the mute Jin could hardly hold him down.

While holding him down tightly, Jin the Dumb spat out words through gritted teeth: "I've seen big fish break free of fishing nets, just like you now—do you know how the boatmen operate?"

As he spoke, Dumb Jin pulled a rusty iron hook from his pocket, grinned maliciously, and plunged it into Abbott's mouth, then out through his lower jaw.

Abbott let out a terrified howl—his tongue was also pierced by the hook, his mouth unable to close, and he couldn't speak fluently at all. Dumb King tore off Abbott's tie, tied one end to the iron hook ring, wrapped the other end around his hand, and then dragged Abbott towards the water.

As the long dike was destroyed, the exposed soil foundation formed a "low cliff," and the foundation continued to collapse due to the constant erosion of the turbulent water.

This is the auspicious site that the mute Jin chose for Abbot and himself.

Killing officials and foreigners are both heinous crimes, so from the beginning, Dumb Jin was determined to take all the blame upon himself and exchange the boat for the lives of the rest of the crew.

As if sensing death approaching, Abbott struggled even more violently, clinging tightly to a rock exposed on the ground and refusing to let go.

Dumb Jin had also expended a lot of energy and, unable to drag him away, turned around and kicked Abbot in the stomach: "You damn foreign devil, don't waste my time!"

With the determination to abandon everything, the bandit-like nature of the boatmen gradually emerged in Dumb Jin.

Seeing that Abbott still wouldn't let go, he pulled out the razor blade again and cleanly severed the tendons in his hands and feet.

Now Abbott was completely unable to resist, his limbs curled up, and he could only let the mute Jin drag him away.

When he arrived at the edge of the cliff, Dumb Jin was already drenched in sweat. Since he was soaked to the bone, he simply took off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles.

Dumb Jin squatted down in front of Abbot and said to him, "I originally wanted to cut you into a thousand pieces, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time, so I had to keep it simple—I'll just cut you open."

Abbott stared at the mute King in terror, trembling all over, his whimpers seeming to beg for mercy.

Dumb Jin used a knife to cut open Abbott's outer garment, revealing his plump, white belly inside.

Just as he was about to strike, a shout suddenly came from afar.

"Stop!"

"Let him go!"

The mute Jin reacted quickly, immediately pressing a razor blade against Abbott's throat before looking up at the other side: "Don't come any closer!"

The newcomers were Albert's two bodyguards.

When he saw the reinforcements arrive, hope immediately rose in Abbott's eyes.

Dumb Jin really didn't expect the bodyguards to arrive so quickly—if there was anything he didn't know about Abbott, it was only these two bodyguards.

For many years, Abbot had not encountered any danger, so the mute man had never seen the two bodyguards make a move. He only knew that they came from the Hertoze Empire like Abbot and were the people Abbot trusted most.

Unsure whether they were carrying firearms, just to be safe, he pushed Abbott up and used Abbott's body as cover, crouching behind him.

The blade had already sliced ​​through the skin of Abbott's throat. He couldn't speak, and could only frantically wink at his bodyguard.

The bodyguards, however, seemed not to see it and ignored Dumb Jin's warning, striding forward directly.

Dumb Jin gave a helpless, bitter smile and whispered in Abbott's ear, "You got off easy."

Just as he was about to finish off Abbott, the bodyguard suddenly stopped.

At this moment, the two sides were only ten meters apart. The two bodyguards moved in unison, taking out iron masks from their pockets and covering their faces.

While Jin was still in a daze, he heard one of the bodyguards say, "Let blood be the witness to our duel."

A flickering, phantom firelight flashed across the mask's eyes.

In an instant, Dumb Jin felt an inexplicable fire surge to his head, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, and he could see no one else but the bodyguard.

He didn't know where his anger came from, he only knew that at this moment, the only thing he wanted to do was to fight the bodyguard to the death!
Dumb King abandoned Abbott and strode toward the bodyguard.

Beneath the mask, the bodyguard grinned maliciously, pulled a meteor hammer from his back waist, spun it around twice to accelerate, and then swung his arm horizontally, the spherical hammer whistling as it smashed towards the oncoming mute Jin.
