Chapter 402 A life for a life
"Captain Chen! They're definitely up to something! They're always causing trouble!"
One of the researchers was furious, feeling that living in the same neighborhood as these people was affecting the reputation of their community.
Chen Ping pacified the crowd, then looked at the old woman still sitting on the ground trying to extort money, and then at Gavin, who was suppressing his anger. Chen Ping asked Gavin, "Mr. Gavin, this situation has put us in a difficult position. What do you plan to do?"
Gavin coldly observed these so-called benefactors, hardened his heart, and said, "Send them back to Xiyue."
Upon hearing this, the people became enraged, and the old woman even stood up and started yelling, "Gavin, what do you mean by this! You ungrateful wretch! Have you forgotten how we took care of you?! If it weren't for us, you would have been dead long ago! You wouldn't be here today!"
Their angry curses made Gavin clench his fists. He would rather have died or been sent to an orphanage than have any further involvement with these people.
Seeing his expression, the old woman could tell what he was thinking. She started crying and shouting, "You heartless wretch! If we hadn't kindly taken you in when your parents had their accident, you would have been dead somewhere long ago!"
As they questioned him, the others looked at Gavin with a hint of inquiry. Gavin couldn't even defend himself. At that moment, Chen Ping smiled and took out a black iron box.
"It's quite a coincidence that our base just launched a new product developed by the laboratory. It contains a mental ability box that can see relevant information by examining the genetic tissue of the person in question, such as hair or nails."
"You can show everyone just how unfilial he is," Chen Ping said gently to the old woman.
The old woman felt inexplicably guilty. "Who knows if this thing of yours will reveal some of our privacy? Don't even think about it."
Chen Ping looked at her with surprise, then at the old man beside her. He was clearly thinking, "Aren't they aware of their needs at their age?" "It's alright, respect that."
"Don't worry, it will absolutely not involve personal privacy, and it will not show any scenes that are inappropriate for children."
She wanted to say more, but Gavin sensed something was off about her expression and, regardless of what she said, cut off a section of her hair.
The old woman immediately started cursing and tried to snatch it back, but was stopped by the people around her. Gavin put his hair and the old woman's hair into the device at the same time, and then recalled the events from fifteen years ago.
The footage clearly shows that this family, coveting Gavin's parents' money, deliberately sneaked in, but were discovered. Without hesitation, they killed them and set a fire to destroy the evidence.
As for Gavin, who was still unconscious, he was lucky enough to escape unscathed. They were afraid that the boy would find out something, so they adopted him to legitimately seize Gavin's parents' property. Meanwhile, they watched as Gavin developed a morbid mentality and continued to suppress and insult him.
As it turns out, this kid, like his researcher parents, was smart. Even without their money, he took out loans to go to college and even started to live a better life. Fearing that the truth would be exposed, they began to torment Gavin even more severely.
He messed up his work, studies, and life. Unexpectedly, the apocalypse came and he was the only one who awakened his superpowers. They had no choice but to follow Gavin to survive. Then he was hired by the South Ridge.
Why should he live a good life while they have to suffer? Gavin's should be theirs, so after discussing it, they shamelessly followed him here.
Now all the mistakes they've made, and the torment they've inflicted on Gavin over the years, are being projected onto the scene. Some people who previously had reservations about Gavin now look at him like he's just a cabbage in a field.
Tragic, this is more than just tragic, it's absolutely horrific!
Gavin's eyes were red as he looked at the group of people who acted like benefactors. They all knew about this, even those younger than him!
But no one told him the truth. In fact, these people who killed his father were still exploiting him and trying to ruin his life. No wonder no matter how much he argued, it was no use. No wonder he couldn't shake off these people no matter what. It turns out that these people never wanted to let him go from the beginning!
Gavin punched the man he had called "Dad" for years. This man was the same one who had killed his parents and made him call him "Dad" for so many years.
Gavin is a psychic, while the person he attacked was an ordinary person. Although his ability only enhances the brain, he is still a psychic and there is a clear difference between him and an ordinary person.
Seeing that he was about to kill the man, the family cried uncontrollably, shouting that it was all a misunderstanding, that Chen Ping had fabricated and deceived them. They cried pitifully, but no one believed them.
Seeing this, they wiped away their tears and turned to run away, but were kicked over by a passerby who had intervened. One of the shark-like sea monsters then swung its tail, knocking all of them to the ground.
After doing all this, he flicked his tail and said with a smile, "Sorry, I've only been learning to be human for a short time and haven't quite mastered my form yet. You beasts should understand, right?"
"You, you all!" The old woman pointed at them angrily, but quickly sensed Gavin's murderous intent and became frightened. She began to shout, "We want to go back to Xiyue. We are not from your Nanling. You can't lay a hand on us!"
Chen Ping looked at them and chuckled, "Is that so?"
After speaking, he activated his ability ring, and on the other end of the video call was Xavier, the leader of their Xiyue. Xavier had long harbored resentment towards this family, who frequently caused trouble at the base, but because he lacked evidence, he could not take action against them arbitrarily.
"Now is the perfect time," Xavier said with a wave of his hand. "According to base regulations, their crimes are enough to warrant their expulsion. Whether they live or die is none of our business. Since they are in your South Ridge, then punish them according to your South Ridge regulations."
Xavier was easy to talk to, and so was Chen Ping. He glanced at Chen Si beside him and asked, "Chen Si, tell them how our base usually handles this kind of situation."
Chen Si usually couldn't stand reading even a single sentence in a book, but now she was interested in this. She could recite the rules by heart. Chen Si's eyes were bright. "According to the base's regulations, anyone who murders another person must pay with their life!"
Upon hearing this, Gavin abandoned all his remaining concerns. His anger surged to the heavens, and he used his psychic abilities to invade the minds of these people, directly strangling them without hesitation.
Seeing the body with its eyes still open, falling straight down, the other dozen or so people who initially thought Gavin couldn't bring himself to do it started to panic, crying and kneeling down to shirk responsibility.
