Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 769: Chapter 79: Understanding & Awakening

If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, they would certainly use conventional means to uphold justice, but Hai Dong was different. He was an assassin and knew that with the opponent’s wealth and social status, he couldn’t seek justice for his son through normal means. He didn’t care about the opponent’s compensation or whether they would go to jail.

Hai Dong’s revenge began. He took just one day to fully investigate the ins and outs of the matter, but the opponent reacted even faster.

Zhang Xutian’s father is a real estate tycoon in the city, named Zhang Da. In the real estate business, you come across all sorts of people. For this reason, upon learning Hai Dong’s identity through special channels, he knew immediately that this matter couldn’t be settled by paying money or legal avenues.

As the saying goes, if you start something, finish it. If the young one dies, the old one should too, to end things cleanly. Since the opponent is an assassin, even better, there’s a high chance no one will investigate the assassin’s death. Zhang Da, through his friends’ introductions, contacted some ’assassins’.

Upon meeting, Zhang Da discovered these ’assassins’ were just a group of inexperienced thugs, some hadn’t even touched a gun, just daring enough to kill.

Realizing this, Zhang Da didn’t give up. The opponent being a professional assassin was true, but he had money, and money makes the mare go. He couldn’t find professional assassins, but there was no problem getting more amateurs. Besides, they were on the defensive, waiting for the opponent to strike back.

Zhang Da was ruthless enough, hiring several individuals. Though their techniques were lacking, they were brave. Four days later, both sides clashed, resulting in Hai Dong getting hit by three stray bullets.

Overall, this matter didn’t need to be assessed by right or wrong. Neither side was good, so the most primitive method was used to solve it, and Hai Dong lost.

...

At the edge of the city lies a villa estate, this is Zhang Da’s home, luxurious beyond disbelief.

Currently, a gathering is taking place inside the villa, the main character of the gathering is a short, stocky middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was well-dressed, yet his demeanor and actions exuded a faint gangster vibe. He is Zhang Da, who started by forcing demolitions and later entered the real estate industry.

”Everyone, I can’t thank you enough for your help.”

Zhang Da raised a glass of wine. He didn’t let these amateur assassins leave immediately; he feared Hai Dong wasn’t dead.

Others at the table raised their glasses somewhat half-heartedly; they were still inattentive, having just escaped death. Today, they saw the difference between being professional and amateur. If it wasn’t for a few stray shots hitting, they would all be dead. The opponent moved like a ghost, killing them like slaughtering chickens and dogs.

”Boss Zhang, you’re too kind. About the remaining payment...”

These amateur assassins couldn’t care less about drinking; they just wanted to get their money and leave.

Screech～

A sudden braking sound came from outside the estate, chilling Zhang Da to the bone.

A man in a black suit pushed open the villa’s main door. Upon seeing him, Zhang Da relaxed.

”Who is this?”

Zhang Da stood up to greet the man in the suit. As they got close, Zhang Da suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face.

Slap! After a loud slap, the room was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Zhang Da had never been so humiliated. The veins on his face bulged, his whole body trembled. Despite his anger, he instinctively felt something was wrong.

”Who gave you the gall to mess with anyone? You’re just a real estate developer. I was already overwhelmed with work, and now there’s an even more terrifying guy.”

”You...”

Zhang Da stopped himself. He saw soldiers in black combat suits rush into the room, armed with weapons only seen in movies.

”Captain, all related personnel have been controlled. Please give instructions.”

A military officer saluted the man in the suit with a standard salute.

”Very good.”

The man in the suit sighed. The people in the villa were all bargaining chips, providing leverage for a negotiation with someone later.

”Sir, I and...”

Just as Zhang Da was about to make a connection, the man in the suit raised his hand and delivered another hard slap.

”Don’t tell me who you know. Just wait here quietly.”

At that moment, Zhang Da’s phone rang from within his pocket. The man in the suit took out the phone, answered it, and hung up after a few words.

Zhang Da’s eyes showed anticipation; this was his backup plan.

”It’s enough for you to die alone. Don’t drag others down with you.”

The phone slipped from the man in the suit’s hand, and he crushed it underfoot. The floor slightly dented, causing the nearby officer to look askance.

That’s right, the man in the suit was a Contractor, a member of the Cleaners, who primarily suppressed or placated Contractors in the real world.

Most unruly Contractors were below the Third tier; those above the Third tier, barring special circumstances, typically didn’t cause trouble in the real world.

If they were Third-tier or above Contractors, even the Cleaners couldn’t do much. High-tier Contractors didn’t care for the Cleaners’ treatment and refused to be controlled by others.

Even so, the state apparatus is not an ornament. A few high-level Contractors work for the state apparatus. They are cautious and won’t easily act in the real world. They are the final resort. If they act, the real world would descend into chaos, and then Reincarnation Paradise would reveal its fierce side, as the real world holds a unique significance for it.

Around the villa, men in black suits stood ready. Su Xiao helped them resolve a Second-Tier Contractor before, but today, Su Xiao was not on their side.

As they waited, time dragged on like years. As night fell, the street lamps surrounding the villa lit up, revealing a lone figure and a dog standing under the light.

”Is this the place?”

Su Xiao tossed aside the documents in his hand, which contained information and photos of Zhang Da and Zhang Xutian. Over the past ten hours, he had already understood everything.

Right or wrong is a matter for children, especially since there is no right or wrong in this matter. In the end, it’s just about who has the harder fist.

Hai Dong’s fists weren’t hard enough, but his friend Su Xiao had a pair of ’titanium alloy fists’.

In the night where the winds howled, Zhang Da and Zhang Xutian both had to die; if they didn’t, Su Xiao would. There was no room for choice.

As he approached the vicinity of the villa, Su Xiao spotted the Cleaner’s men, recognizable by their distinctive black suits.

”Hey, friend over there, been waiting for you for a while.”

A man in a suit approached. He was the same person who slapped Zhang Da twice. Su Xiao didn’t conceal his aura, so being discovered was expected.

”With the Cleaner showing up, should I assume you’re on Zhang Da’s side?”

”Of course not. We’re on your side. After all, we’ve faced life and death in the same place. We’ve looked into Hai Dong’s situation. I won’t offer you any comforting nonsense. I can only say that maybe it’s just fate.”

The man in the suit handed over two photos.

”Your friend has been laid to rest in East City. The scenery there is quite nice.”

Su Xiao took the photos, surprised by the Cleaner’s attitude. In truth, the Cleaner was also forced by circumstances, and the situation in Lin City was even more difficult to handle.

The man in the suit tentatively asked, ”Do Zhang and his son have to die?”

”Yes, it’s either they die or I die. Not to mention that keeping vicious dogs is not allowed in the city. Since they chose to kill to stop killing after the incident, I’ll go along with it to the end. Don’t tell me you concern about innocence—if there truly were innocent people, it would be Hai Dong’s son.”

Hearing this response, the man in the suit let out a wry smile.

”Is it worth having a killer as a friend? These people won’t survive. They will receive the punishment they deserve.”

”Friendship is just that, it’s not about whether it’s worth it or not. As for deserving punishment, do you believe what you’re saying?”

Hai Dong had once helped Su Xiao kill someone, and today it was Su Xiao’s turn to help him eliminate his enemies.

”Fair enough, Zhang and his son aren’t good people. They’ve caused a lot of trouble. As for those amateur killers, forget it, do what you will. Just one thing: don’t make a big scene, like using automatic weapons or explosives, or else it won’t be good for either of us.”

Su Xiao walked past the man in the suit and headed straight for the villa. By this time, all the Cleaner personnel had withdrawn from the villa.

Su Xiao pushed open the door and walked into the villa. A group of amateur killers, dressed in mismatched attire, stood ready with chair legs or clothes hangers in hand. Their weapons had been confiscated, and now they exemplified what it meant to be shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

The faces of Zhang and his son were ashen, but upon seeing only Su Xiao, they both breathed a sigh of relief, having guessed the situation.

”Kill him, I’ll give you ten times the reward!”

The amateur killers didn’t move, unsure of what was truly happening.

”What are you standing there for? It’s either him or us today.”

Zhang Da brandished a baseball bat. In his younger days, he was a thug with some combat strength.

Su Xiao walked straight toward the crowd in the room, casually grabbing a steak knife from the dining table. Seeing his actions, the amateur killers began to show fierce expressions.

Ten seconds later, there were no other living people in the living room besides Su Xiao.

...

Ten days later, in East City, the sun was high, and the breeze was gentle.

A man sat in front of two graves, one large and one small.

”Dongzi, here to see you again, brought some roast chicken.”

Su Xiao lit a cigarette and placed it in front of Hai Dong’s tombstone.

”Maybe you were right; the life of a killer is hardly a life. It’s just survival. Luckily, I found an interesting place where I can find enjoyment. If I once fought for revenge, I later discovered my interest lies in fighting—there’s joy in battling others. If I can stand at the pinnacle, perhaps I can see a different landscape, no longer driven by some existence.”

Su Xiao now seemed strong, but in reality, he was still under the control of Reincarnation Paradise. As for the idea of destroying Reincarnation Paradise, it hadn’t crossed his mind yet. Whether being manipulated or not, Reincarnation Paradise was helping him get stronger, though in extreme ways.

To achieve true freedom, he must stand at the top. The stronger his power, the broader the scenery he could see, and the more he could achieve. Rather than living a mundane life, Su Xiao preferred to enjoy the journey of becoming stronger. Regarding spiritual sustenance, a person with a strong enough mind doesn’t rely on such things.

A powerful body nurtures a stronger mind—a mind so unyielding that even the collapse of Mount Tai would not change its expression. Su Xiaogang possessed both, which was why he could survive in the harsh Reincarnation Paradise.

Understanding this point, Su Xiao found the entire world different. The gloom in his heart gradually dissipated, and his previously lifeless aura transformed, becoming purer, sharper, and more aggressive. These were precisely the qualities a swordsman needed most. He hadn’t realized this before, but now he did.

”Hai Dong, thank you for making me understand certain things.”
