Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

“Great Lord Bondarev, please don’t kill me. I am just a maggot. Killing me will only defile your hands and your noble soul. As a maggot, my fate will eventually be in the cesspool. I’ll scurry away now. See, I can scurry.”

Tachibana Masamune lay on the ground, looking just like a maggot, gurgling around, a sight that made one want to vomit.

He shuffled to Lin Ye's feet, wanting to reach out and grab the other's trouser leg, hoping that this would make his pleading seem more humble.

At this moment, Tachibana Masamune had none of the airs of a patriarch, nor the arrogance inherent in Herzog's bones; he was simply a sycophant.

As long as Lin Ye is willing to give him this opportunity, he will definitely flatter him.

Lin Ye remained unmoved and stepped on Tachibana Masamune's outstretched hand.

"Doctor, I must say your analogy is very vivid. You are a disgusting maggot, but don't forget that maggots can also evolve into flying flies. At that time, they will inevitably be disgusting people flying around, and may even carry those even more disgusting eggs."

Once these eggs hatch, they will become maggots, and in the future, they will become flying flies.

So... do you think I can let you go?

Lin Ye's tone was cold yet playful.

"No, no, no, that's not how it is, Your Excellency Bondarev. I, a maggot, will only stay obediently in my own cesspool. I will never evolve into a fly, nor am I worthy, much less dare. Please... please spare me."

Tachibana Masamune pleaded humbly, bowing his head very low.

That way, no one can see his increasingly ferocious face.

"Letting you go... it's not impossible, as long as..." Lin Ye's tone clearly relaxed a bit.

"Very good, very good indeed! My Lord Bondarev!"

Tachibana Masamune suddenly grinned maliciously.

He suddenly pulled a Beretta pistol from the lining of his tattered kimono.

A chilling aura suddenly burst forth from him, like a venomous snake leaping out of the grass, baring its fangs, and viciously tearing at the ankles of passersby.

It must be said that Tachibana Masamune's forbearance is truly chilling.

He knew from the beginning that he was no match for Lin Ye. It wasn't until the other party lowered his guard that he finally revealed his true colors, unleashing a torrent of chilling killing intent.

This is true cunning!

Tachibana Masamune suddenly sprang to his feet, about to pull the trigger.

At such close range, no matter how fast Lin Ye was, he couldn't dodge the shot.

Moreover, this Beretta has also been enhanced by alchemy from the Snake Clan, and it can kill even a snake-shaped Deadpool with a single shot.

In Masamune's view, no matter how strong Bondarev was, his physical strength was only about the same as Deadpool's, so with this shot, the outcome was already decided.

"The advantage is with me, the advantage is with me, hahaha! Bondarev, you damned bastard, die!!"

Tachibana Masamune laughed maniacally.

He felt confident of winning.

Even if this shot doesn't kill Bondarev, it will at least seriously injure him. In addition, this Beretta is very powerful and makes a lot of noise when it's fired.

That was a sound even more intense than thunder from the sky.

Once this shot is fired, dozens of family guards outside will notice.

They were all powerful hybrids with rich combat experience, and he was sure they would take Bondarev down completely. So he was excited that the situation was back in his control.

Tachibana Masamune gritted his teeth, his heart filled with deep-seated hatred.

He is a demon who will endure until the end, until he has completely taken control of his target, then cruelly slices and devours him.

With this intense conviction, Tachibana Masamune instinctively pulled the trigger.

With a hissing sound.

An extremely cold and sharp slash burst forth.

Caught off guard, Tachibana Masamune's hand holding the gun was instantly severed.

The air was suddenly quiet.

The next moment, Tachibana Masamune let out a shrill scream.

How is this possible! How could the opponent be so alert! And how could their sword strikes be so fierce!

When did Bondarev learn swordsmanship?!

"No, you're not Bondarev! You can't be Bondarev! Who are you?!"

Tachibana Masamune's face was full of surprise and uncertainty.

An even greater sense of terror exploded within me.

It's like waking up in bed on a sunny morning, only to find your body covered in colorful venomous snakes when you lift the covers.

In Tachibana Masamune's mind, Bondarev was the biggest shadow in his heart, even the nightmare of his life.

Therefore, when the nobleman appeared in the main hall, he immediately imagined him to be Bondarev.

Because the other party knew his past well, and even knew what had happened between him and Bondarev, things that only the two of them knew, various subtle influences led Tachibana Masamune to believe that the nobleman who appeared in the main hall was Bondarev himself!

However, his character was clearly inconsistent with his previous persona when he was being brutally beaten by his opponent. In addition, the opponent's sudden, deadly sword move made Tachibana Masamune lose his composure.

Bondarev is definitely not a nobleman!

But it’s someone else!

No, there's something else going on!

The other party is definitely a demon lurking in the deepest darkness. This demon knows everything that happened in the port of Black Swan in Siberia, and also knows everything that happened between him and Bondarev.

The thought was terrifying, and Tachibana Masamune trembled all over.

This time, he was truly terrified, not because of death, but because of the unknown enemy.

As Herzog, both he and Bondarev believed themselves to be the true masterminds, controlling everything behind the scenes, but in reality, there were other things operating deep within.

Herzog suddenly remembered the invisible man who had escaped from that port.

The other party was present the whole time during the transaction, and even when they finally slipped up, they couldn't catch them. They were like a ghost.

Now this ghost has reappeared!

No, this ghost has always been there, coldly watching everything they do.

"Oh dear, we've been spotted!"

Lin Ye stood there and picked at his ear.

At this moment, he stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table, using his own voice.

"You, you are!!!"

However, upon hearing this voice, Tachibana Masamune experienced a dramatic shift in his mindset, becoming even more terrified.

He recognized the voice!

It's Lin Ye! It's that boy who kept grinning at him!

……

Chapter 89 Reappearance of the Perfect Cross

"Lin Ye, why are you doing this to me?"

"I've treated you well, and I even agreed to let you date my daughter Erii. If Erii knew how you tortured me, she would hate you!"

……

Tachibana Masamune roared hoarsely.

There was fear, and also deep confusion.

Although he had secretly attacked Lin Ye, his methods were extremely discreet, and the other party would never have been able to detect that he was the one behind it.

He even went so far as to make a show of it, not stopping the other party from interacting with Erii at all.

Even so, the other party now wants to torture and kill him, using extremely perverse and ruthless methods, which even Tachibana Masamune himself has never used.

"Tachibana Masamune, now that I know about your past, why don't you try to guess what other shameful things I know about you?"

Lin Ye smiled knowingly.

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Masamune couldn't help but shudder.

Although he couldn't see Lin Ye's face, he knew the boy was definitely looking at him with a sneer, just like when they were diving into the underground river, the Red Ghost River, and the other person was smiling at him from inside the submersible.

Yes!

At that time, Tachibana Masamune clearly sensed that something was wrong with Hayashi.

The boy's smile was so pointed that, though he didn't understand why, he felt it very strongly.

As a demon, he could sense the same demonic gaze in the other's eyes.

He had originally planned to make some arrangements for Lin Ye after he had some free time, but who knew that this guy would strike first and catch him off guard.

The boy must know a lot about himself, and not just about his deal with Bondarev.

The other party was very purposeful. He attracted Erii by being the top male host right away, and then used the girl's psychological weakness to deceive her until he gradually won her heart. In doing so, he also infiltrated the Sheqi family.

Lin Ye even won the favor of Yuan Zhisheng, who regarded him as his only good brother-in-law.

The other party's purpose in doing this was to target them.

Tachibana Masamune was shaken.

He even speculated that Lin Ye might be related to that ghost from before, and perhaps the two of them came from the same force.

"Who exactly are you? Who is your superior?" Tachibana Masamune asked.

"Tsk tsk, what's the point of asking so many questions? Since I dared to reveal my identity, I naturally have no intention of letting you go."

"But you said before that you would consider letting me go."

"I did say that, but I didn't finish my sentence. What I meant was that once I've had my fun, I'll let you go naturally. As for how badly you'll fare then, that's none of my business."

Lin Ye's tone was playful.

He bent down and picked up the Beretta from the ground.
