Chapter 136 Scum
Chapter 136 Scum
After a long search yielded no results, Melissa and the guards had no choice but to leave the scorched earth together.
However, just as Navisleit was about to turn and leave, he suddenly stopped. Then, he slowly turned back.
Their gazes were fixed on the scorched earth they had just been searching. In Vilette's deep eyes...
It shimmered with an elusive light, as if he had already seen through the truth hidden behind this desolation. However,
He didn't linger there for long; after only a brief glance, he turned around again and slowly left the place with steady steps.
Meanwhile, Qiuhe and his group finally arrived at the seaside. The sea, shrouded in night, resembled a giant mirror.
It was so calm that one could barely feel its movement. Qiuhe stood there quietly, gazing at the tranquil sea before him, his heart filled with anxiety.
Without further hesitation, Qiuhe suddenly unleashed the Void Rift Intersect. In an instant, an incomparably powerful and invisible energy emanated from him.
It spread rapidly in all directions like a surging wave. In just a few seconds, this energy covered an area of several kilometers in radius.
However, despite this, Qiuhe still couldn't sense even the slightest trace of Kailu's presence. A strong sense of unease gradually spread among them.
Worry and tension involuntarily appeared on everyone's face. Qiuhe briefly considered the current situation.
He then turned to his companions behind him and said in a deep voice, "Don't wander around. Just wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Before he finished speaking, he resolutely leaped into the vast, unfathomable sea. Clayville panicked instantly upon seeing this.
After all, Akikawa wasn't wearing any diving gear, and Peruvieri and Chehui, who reacted quickly, also stopped Clementine.
“Crevi, don’t worry. If Lei would do something like that, he must be confident. You should trust him,” Chehui said.
Clay then glanced at Peruvieri beside him, who nodded slightly in agreement. Seeing that Peruvieri also agreed...
Finally, she forced herself to calm down, but the tension in her eyes hadn't faded at all. Seeing this, Peruvier gently hugged Clementine.
"Don't worry, Ley will be fine," Peluvelli reassured her, and Clementine gradually calmed down.
Soon after, Qiuhe's figure gradually returned to the sea surface. The people on the shore looked anxiously at Qiuhe, but they did not find Kailuo beside him.
Only Qiuhe remained adrift on the sea. Back on land, Qiuhe remained silent, only clenching her teeth, filled with intense hatred.
Then he swung his fist and slammed it into a nearby tree. "Damn it! Why? Why does something always have to happen in the end?!"
Seeing this, no one knew what to say, except for Qi Hui, who slowly walked forward and gently grasped Qiuhe's shoulder.
"There are no man-eating fish in the waters of Fontainebleau, and the underwater creatures will not attack unconscious and non-aggressive humans."
The fact that you couldn't find him underwater is actually a good thing; it means he might not be here now, and he might have swum ashore.
They might be looking for us now. I've known Kailer for so long, I know him very well, given his intelligence...
"There will be no danger," heard Chehui's comforting words, and Qiuhe's turbulent heart gradually calmed down. Meanwhile, Ranach, lying beside him...
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was tied up like a dumpling. He was very flustered, but when he turned his head, he saw Qiuhe and the others.
Seeing that they hadn't noticed him, Ranach suppressed his fear and slowly moved his body to try and escape, but before he could crawl for long...
A sharp, gleaming katana was thrust directly in front of his eyes, instantly causing Ranah to widen his eyes and tremble violently.
After stiffly turning his head, he met Peruvieri's fiery gaze, and Ranach was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and began frantically kowtowing.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. What happened at the bottom of the Gray River... I really didn't mean to. We're just ordinary merchants."
Those kinds of things are really beyond our ability to handle, sob sob. And... and I didn't reveal anything about you guys, I didn't say anything!
"Please, please, please let me go," Ranach pleaded, looking at him kneeling before them, terrified and incontinent. It was clear how terrified he was.
But Clementine, seeing Ranach awake, was also furious. She raised the Moonbeam of Siphus in her hand and pointed it at Ranach's head.
Seeing this, Ranach was so frightened that his soul seemed to be scattering in all directions. Clayville, looking angrily at Ranach, said:
"It was you who poisoned my mother's drink!" To be honest, it's usually quite shocking to see a petite, cute little girl giving you such a fierce look.
A beast like Ranach wouldn't normally be afraid; in fact, it would only fuel his lust. But now, the situation is that the other party is holding a sharp knife.
And with herself bound like a dumpling, and hearing Clement's words, even a fool could guess that she must be the daughter of the fourth seat of the Fatui.
When all of this is put together, the person standing before him is no longer a cute little girl; this is someone who has come to take his life. Ranach loudly begged for mercy:
"No. No! It wasn't me, it wasn't me. It was Delibo, it was Delibo's idea to poison your mother's wine."
All of this has nothing to do with me! Please, please let me go. I have elderly parents to support, young children to raise, and a baby who hasn't been weaned yet. Everything I did was for my family!
Please, young lady, have some mercy! I really don't want to die! I didn't do any of this! Waaaaah!
Hearing Ranach's words and seeing him kneeling on the ground, weeping and begging for mercy, Claymore predictably felt a pang of sympathy.
If all of this was orchestrated by that guy named Deribo, and Ranach was only forced to do these bad things...
Krewi would certainly not kill Ranach, considering his elderly parents and young children, and that still-weaned child.
If it were anyone else, they might think, "I am your family," but as expected, Clement once again slowly lowered the sword in his hand. But then...
Qiehui, standing to the side, chimed in, "Oh? You have elderly parents and young children, and a baby who hasn't been weaned yet. Haha. You mean your mother who you threw into the mountains to fend for herself?"
Below you are the child you strangled with your own hands, and the child who conspired with you to kill your wife and then gave birth to your still-weaned child.
"Oh dear, what a fine situation, having elderly parents and young children to care for. By the way, what did I find out from your intelligence last time? You said you wanted to capture Clementine's mother, and then... tsk,"
Hearing the list of crimes confessed before him, Ranach stopped crying, a growing fear rising within him. And then, upon hearing the final addition...
She was so terrified that she trembled violently, her teeth chattering. Ranach's earlier reactions were expected, but when Chehui saw Ranach's reaction after hearing the final words...
Chehui couldn't help but think to herself, "Huh? Is that really true?" Meanwhile, Clay, listening to the recounted crimes, was utterly shocked, her worldview shattered.
Her heart pounded like a raging tsunami, and when she heard the last sentence, Clay's anger reached its peak.
Clay was kind and innocent at heart, but that didn't mean she was naive. Anyone could understand what those words meant, and Clay couldn't help but think the same thing.
Clay, his eyes filled with murderous intent, instantly raised the Moonlight of Siforth in his hand, realizing he had actually sympathized with such a person.
He wanted to finish this scumbag off with a single blow, but just as his blade was about to touch Ranach, Qiuhe gently grabbed Clay's hand.
“Kree, leave that scum to Mother and the others. Don’t get your hands dirty,” she said, though her mind was still racing with the crimes Chehui had just recounted.
Unable to avenge her mother, Clay, as expected, broke down in tears once again, overwhelmed with frustration.
After comforting Clementine for a while, Qiuhe handed her over to Lily, then walked up to Ranach and grabbed his hair tightly.
"Don't worry, don't think I'll send you to Fontaine to be punished by Fontaine law. Your crimes aren't something that can be dealt with by just being imprisoned in Mello Petersburg."
"A person like you, even if you die hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of times, you still won't be able to atone for the sins you've committed."
In the darkness, Qiuhe's eyes gleamed with a demonic light. Under Ranach's terrified gaze, Qiuhe grabbed his head and slammed it violently into the ground.
A crater was also smashed into the ground.
