Chapter 469 Fooling, Fury, Slaughter
When Hakuto saw Kogoro again, Kogoro had completely changed from his previous image of a slovenly uncle, appearing somewhat domineering instead.
Hakuto looked at the Kogoro before him and said, "I'm curious. Weren't you worried that your plan to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea would backfire and leave you with no way out?"
Kogoro said calmly, "Putting an end to my fate, putting an end to the fate of the Mori Clan—that wouldn't be bad either."
"So your goal is actually to break free from the fate of the Mori Clan, even if it means dragging the entire world into the abyss?"
"I can't worry about that anymore. The fate of the Mori Clan is like a snowball rolling down a mountainside. This snowball gets bigger and bigger, and now it's completely unstoppable."
"Kudo Yusaku already revealed the matter about Eri and Mrs. Yukiko. Originally, your plan shouldn't have been like this, but you divorced Eri. Was it out of pity, or did you truly fall in love with Eri?"
"Who knows?"
Kogoro said indifferently. Hakuto just shrugged. "I was just asking casually. Since you don't want to answer, fine. Now, let's have a proper talk. Spit out everything about you."
A cyan wind appeared in Hakuto's hand. Mori Kogoro looked at Hakuto with a hint of mockery in his eyes—mockery of fate, of himself, or perhaps of something else.
"Compared to this, I'd much rather choose another path."
Kogoro said to Hakuto. The muzzle of the gun was already pressed against his own temple. Kogoro chose death.
Hakuto didn't care. Even if Kogoro died, he would use Annihilation Maker to devour Kogoro's body. Hakuto only wanted Kogoro's memories. Kogoro himself wasn't actually important.
With the sound of a gunshot, Kogoro fell onto the table. Hakuto walked up to him, and then a mass of black liquid appeared in his hand. This mass of black liquid instantly eroded Kogoro's body.
However, something Hakuto hadn't expected happened. After being eroded, Kogoro had turned into someone else. Or rather, from beginning to end, this wasn't Kogoro at all!
"Vermouth!"
Upon seeing this person, Hakuto's expression instantly turned ugly!
So that's why Vermouth was able to find Kogoro. It turned out she simply didn't know where Kogoro was, but Vermouth had disguised herself as Kogoro!
Furious!
At this moment, Hakuto's heart was filled with thunderous rage!
And the most obvious sign was that the entire sky instantly turned overcast, with lightning flashing in the clouds!
"Ara ara, who made Hakuto so angry, and this furious at that?"
Yae Miko looked at the dark clouds in the sky and couldn't help but tease.
"I'm afraid this matter isn't simple. For him to be this furious, it's probably a big trouble."
Makoto said helplessly. When the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses litter the land. Although Hakuto was no longer the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, the consequences of his anger were still unimaginable.
"Should we go take a look?"
Ei asked Makoto. Makoto shook her head without hesitation and refused.
When Hakuto's rage was this intense, even Makoto didn't want to face him. So she was firmly opposed to Ei, this idiot, actively walking into the line of fire.
Ei didn't say much about Makoto's refusal. According to Ei's way of thinking, as long as her sister decided something, it couldn't be wrong. Since her sister said not to go, then there was no need to go.
At this moment, Hakuto looked at Vermouth with eyes full of fierce killing intent!
"Vermouth, you really dare. You actually dared to fool me like this!"
The rage in Hakuto's heart was burning. Vermouth's action, thinking she was saving Ran, was instead constantly jumping back and forth on the edge of Hakuto's tolerance.
"Do you think that by dying, you can bury this matter forever?"
Hakuto looked at Vermouth, whom he had transformed into a magical beast, his eyes full of killing intent.
Vermouth was silent. She hadn't expected Hakuto to even resurrect her. Although it was just an alternative form of living, Vermouth knew she had caused a huge disaster.
Now, her fate was probably sealed!
Her life didn't matter. The main thing was Ran!
Vermouth's understanding of Hakuto almost confirmed that he would vent his anger on Ran.
"Since you want to protect Ran, then let your own hands torture her to death."
Ran was just one person. Hakuto wouldn't let go of the opportunity to torment Vermouth just because of Eri.
Ran's life or death didn't matter much to Hakuto. He didn't care whether she lived or died.
What Hakuto wanted to do now was make Vermouth regret fooling him!
Since she fooled him, then prepare to pay the price!
Vermouth's eyes were filled with fear. She had wanted to use her life to protect Ran, but it backfired. Not only did she fail to protect Ran, but she also put her in danger.
"Then go. Kill the Ran you protect with your own hands."
Hakuto looked coldly at Vermouth, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.
Unable to move at all, Vermouth was like a puppet, controlled by Hakuto to find Ran and then prepare to kill her.
Vermouth prayed in her heart, praying that those diary holders could stop her, but...
When Vermouth saw Ran, still no one came out to stop her. Despair filled Vermouth's heart!
"It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this at all!"
Just as Vermouth raised her blade, just as Vermouth was in despair, a person appeared!
Kogoro appeared and stopped Vermouth from harming Ran.
