From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 50 Old soldiers never die, their tracks crush them.

"Honey, I got promoted!" The man's joy was palpable. "Hehe, I only helped the director deal with a little bit of trash, and I successfully got a new position!"

"Ah, of course! We're going to Hawaii this weekend. We just got a big sum from the pensions of two veterans yesterday, it'll definitely be enough for us!"

"What? Afraid of being investigated? Who doesn't do this throughout the entire department? The entire Department of Veterans Affairs has hundreds of thousands of employees and a total budget of over one hundred billion US dollars. Is the little money we take even worth mentioning?"

"Then the bureau chiefs and deputy bureau chiefs take millions every year, and the directors of various hospitals siphon tens of millions, and they're all fine?"

"Let's not even talk about them. A few months ago, the president wanted to cut our department, but it was rejected by the Supreme Court judge."

"Honey, you need to understand, this is America! As long as you have money and pay taxes, it doesn't matter where the money comes from. Once it's in your hands, it's ours!"

Hearing these words, Remus clenched his fists!
He had initially believed the other party's lie that "the money was given to veterans who were in greater need," but he never expected that there were no veterans in greater need, only the veterans themselves!
These able-bodied men, relying on their power, recklessly embezzled the money they had earned with their lives!

And they were so brazen, so shameless!
Or rather, in this country, there is no such thing as shame, only "profit." For such profit, these people have already sold their souls to the devil!

Thinking about this, Remus suddenly realized, "So, I came here to collect debts for the demons!"

Remus had a feeling that these malicious souls were exactly what the demons loved most.

Therefore, instead of standing outside the counter, he walked to the door to the side, which led to the backstage area.

The man who was speaking was oblivious to this; he was still basking in the joy of his promotion and imagining his future girlfriend when someone grabbed him by the neck.

Remus glanced at his name tag. His name was Martin Tannate, a seemingly sunny white man who did shady things that crawled in the shadows!
Before Martin could catch his breath, he realized his predicament: the raggedly dressed man was choking him and lifting him up!

"Security!" A shrill scream rang out, instantly turning the previously quiet and somewhat boring Veterans Affairs Department into a noisy mess!
Several security guards grabbed their stun guns and started running. When exactly did this man get backstage? How come they didn't know?
If this person manages to do something behind the scenes, their job will be over!
Therefore, several security guards arrived at Remus's side almost in the blink of an eye, holding stun guns to him. "Sir, we won't say it a second time! Put Martin down and put your hands up!"

"You are suspected of intentional assault, and we have the right to detain you and hand you over to the police!"

After all, they are an organization affiliated with the military, so they naturally have no shortage of connections with the military and police, and they have enough power to make a case airtight.

In a situation like this, the Department of Veterans Affairs would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, so they would definitely kill this man, no matter what the reason.

Of course, none of this was within Remus's considerations. He came here for a simple reason: revenge!

He has done so much for this country, and all he wants is a pension. Is that so hard?
“I’ve been here many times, but every time, you tell me that I can’t withdraw my pension right now!”

"This isn't your money, it's my money, it's compensation from the federal government!"

"I've fought so many wars and gotten nothing in return. Now I can't even get my own money back?"

Remus roared, gripping the neck of the man named Martin tightly, and demanded an explanation!

"I...I'm sorry!" Martin said with difficulty, his face flushed red. "Put me down...I...I'll approve your application right away!"

Remus put him down and watched Martin stagger toward the security guards, and he roughly understood what the other man was thinking.

Sure enough, the man showed no intention of paying him. Instead, he went directly behind the security guard, clutching his neck and shouting menacingly, "Quick! Grab him!"

Remus knew he couldn't have any expectations of these morally bankrupt people, and thankfully he never had such thoughts in the first place.

A group of security guards surrounded him, each holding a stun gun. With the press of a button, even a rhinoceros would tremble and convulse under the immense electric current. This was their confidence, and also the reason why the surrounding employees hadn't left; instead, they were watching the spectacle.

But just a few dozen seconds later, these people wished they had two more legs so they could leave this place as quickly as possible.

Because, in those few dozen seconds, this strange man, enduring the electric current from five stun guns, used his fists, which seemed harder than steel, to knock down the security guards in front of him one by one.

These seemingly incredibly strong security guards fell asleep quickly, like babies, under his fists.

None of the six security guards lasted a minute, and fear gradually crept onto the faces of those watching from the sidelines—except for Martin, who had just escaped danger.

His face was still flushed, and he kept coughing, but he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a sickly smile appeared on his face. "Great! You actually beat them!"

"Now, you should raise your hands and surrender!"

Martin raised his gun, released the safety, and aimed at Remus!
“Retired soldiers, go find a job and work! What’s with you begging here like parasites?” he shouted, his mental state clearly becoming dangerous after such a dramatic ups and downs. “You disgusting parasites, we spend so much money on the Federation every year to support you, yet you’re a bunch of useless trash!”

"Now, put your hands up and kneel before me!"

Martin had already planned how to torture his opponent. Even if the man knelt down, he would still strike the man's arm joints and knees. He wanted to cripple the man for life!
Damn it, that lowly Marine actually dared to threaten them with his fists and feet. When has he ever suffered such humiliation?
However, he was unaware that Remus, who had already signed a contract with Baphomet, gained the ability to see through the layers of the Netherworld.

This ability, in the eyes of humans, is simply "superficial mind reading"!
He could already sense the other party's malice—a deep, terrifying malice that was completely undisguised, making Remus feel that he hadn't been lenient enough!

"You're more devilish than the devil! You're the ones who robbed us of our money, yet you blame us for not working hard enough? You even call us trash?" Remus shouted, walking step by step towards Martin. "Now, look me in the eye and shoot!"

Looking into Remus's eyes, Martin felt a surge of fear!

Because the other person's eyes had no pupils, no whites, only black voids, like an abyss that could suck him in!

The fear overwhelmed him, causing him to break down completely! He couldn't even lift his gun, and with a scream, he tried to run away!

However, he didn't have time to escape. With each step he took, his body emitted a strange sound, like water and fire colliding.

With each step he took, his body seemed to shrink, making his steps even more unsteady!
Martin looked back in utter terror and realized that he was now just a head.

His calves, thighs, waist, chest, and abdomen transformed into four flames, which ignited along the four paths he fled, burning slowly.

This "turning back" is a true "turning back" in the real sense!
Martin tried to shout, but he couldn't make a sound.

“Silent fire, so that’s what it means…” Remus nodded from the side, but showed no sign of having avenged his great enemy.

He looked up at the upper floors of the building; the real pain came from there!

　Why is the follow-up reading for the intelligent price increase similar to that for the regular price increase? It's weird...

　　Following along is a daily routine, and it's really important. Now that the recommendation system has been updated, following along is even more crucial.
　　(I already have seven or eight chapters saved up for this book. I'll be updating like crazy once it's released, I mean it!)
