Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1126: Choose or be chosen

The Royal Guild Chief knelt on the ground, and blood flowed from his mouth.

To evolved, injuries that continued to bleed were irreversible injuries. Ye Zhongming didn’t hold back. The head of one of the rings didnʼt have long to live.

Although the wheels were magical, and there were many potions and jobs that could save lives, those weren’t things the royal guild chief would enjoy.

“This is Bright Water World, it is… Five Ring Money’s territory… You,... Dare to kill me?” Even if he was badly injured and sensed that his life force was draining, Chi E still had some hope. He used Five Ring Money’s home-ground advantage to hold Ye Zhongming hostage.

Ye Zhongming glanced at the battlefield and slowly grabbed the chief’s throat.

The chief was right. This was Bright Water World, Five Ring Money’s home ground. If Ye Zhongming killed the chief, who was one of the five deacons, that was a problem.

But no matter what, they attacked him first. He had no reason to let him go and allow him to continue to find trouble with him in the future.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming was very calm after reviving. He didn’t fear any evolved. His ideals were very simple: he would try to keep those on his side alive and would kill his enemies if he could.

The reason why he didnʼt kill the chief immediately was because he wanted to know why he attacked himself. Be it time or location, this wasn’t the best opportunity. This question wrapped around his mind.

When he heard that question, Chi E laughed. His twisted arms and legs started to twitch.
He looked at Ye Zhongming with a complicated expression.

He was filled with fear towards this guy due to his strength. When he realized that his team was about to lose, he didn’t expect himself to be so easily defeated. He was a seven-star evolved, so he didn’t understand why their gap was so huge. Why was he unable to last for even ten seconds before this kid?

On the other side, he felt like he had something to rely on and that this guy wouldn’t dare to kill him. That guy had to fear Five Ring Money’s home-ground advantage.

So when he heard this question, he laughed and wasn’t prepared to reply.

Ye Zhongming squinted and noticed that this person was just laughing coldly and not speaking. His patience was gone, and he used more strength, wanting to crush his throat.

Evolved were sensitive towards killing energy. He sensed it right away when Ye Zhongming wanted to kill him. He reacted. Be it his eyes or body, he transmitted a message to Ye Zhongming.

He had something to say.

As for why he wasn’t speaking, his throat was being grabbed.

Ye Zhongming released his fingers, but there was still killing intent in his gaze. He was telling him that he would continue to kill him if he was unsatisfied with his answer.

“When… You reach a certain level… You…” He struggled. Even if Ye Zhongming held back in time, his throat was badly damaged. If he weren’t an evolved, he would already be mute.

“You need to make a choice.” He spat some blood, and he looked like he was in a bad state.

“Even if you don’t choose, someone will choose you, hehe.” He smiled weirdly. His face that had turned purple, and started to twist, “I want to kill you because our choices are different!”

Ye Zhongming looked at him and analysed his words.

What choice? Whose choice? What were they choosing?

The Royal Guild chief laughed again, “You are strong, but your background and previous position have decided that you will fall behind. You will become a chess piece that will be abandoned at any moment. Don’t be too happy. Your strength might be what kills you.”

The Royal Guild chief was very smooth when he said those words.

He looked at the guy he had defeated and became more confused. He didn’t think this person was lying to him.

“Don’t be anxious, you will find out. Also, what I said was wrong.”

“What?” Ye Zhonngmingn asked.

“You might know what my name means when you are still alive, but… You will be in pain when you do find out.”

Ye Zhongming took a deep breath and bent down to look at him, “Be more direct. You might not die today. That is a good thing, right?”

The chief smiled, “Who will dare be more direct without permission? Don’t be anxious; you will know soon.”

“So, you have no value now?”

“You will kill me regardless, I can tell.”

“Then, goodbye.”

Their voices were soft, but they were talking about life and death.

“Wait!”

When Ye Zhongming was about to attack, the three deacons and their subordinates appeared nearby. Dozens of speedboats broke the red ocean and drove quickly over.

Ye Zhongming took a look as expected from the person who controlled Bright Water World for now. He could even make speedboats while others had to swim.

The time was enough for him to kill the chief, but he hesitated and didn’t kill him.

He wanted to hear what the deacons said.

Of course, he had enough confidence. Not mentioning those wooden puppets, his understanding of Bright Water World meant he wasn’t afraid of these people.

The few deacons didn’t bring many people, which was one reason he was more relaxed.

The three deacons came to shore, and a hundred guards were behind them. Even if they knew the outcome, they were still shocked when they saw the Royal Guild’s situation.

Someone on their level was kneeling before others. That made them feel a sense of defeat.

Their gaze toward Ye Zhongming became complicated; this person was already so strong?

“You came to give me an explanation?”

Ye Zhongming held up the chief like he was holding a bag he could tear apart.

The three deacons looked at each other. Deacon Tong spoke, “Mr Ye, there might be another better way to handle this.”
