Chapter 490: Gazing Upon Death
The man wearing the red wristband was dressed in the extravagant golden attire unique to nobility. He sized up Xu Huo with a glance, seeming to weigh something in his mind. After a moment, he said, "There are plenty of prey to go around. No need to be so tense."
After speaking, he walked straight away.
Xu Huo waited until he saw the man disappear around the corner of the corridor before closing the door. Looking at the panic-stricken Palada, he smiled faintly. "You're beyond saving."
Palada was still clutching his neck, but blood kept flowing out. The potion he had used was completely ineffective. He couldn't speak and could only plead for help with his eyes towards Xu Huo.
Xu Huo leaned against the nearby table, lit a cigarette, and looked down at him with a cold, detached gaze.
The pleading expression in Palada's eyes gradually turned to anger. He slapped the badge symbolizing his identity forcefully, then pointed at Xu Huo, as if demanding to know how he dared not save him!
Unfortunately, Xu Huo didn't even change his expression. He continued to watch him, as if observing an insignificant animal on the roadside making its final struggle.
Palada gradually grew frightened and turned to run towards the door.
Xu Huo, who had just been leaning against the table a second ago, now stood blocking the doorway. He raised the Crimson Sword and with precise accuracy, sliced the badge on Palada's chest in two.
