The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 344: Chapter 160 Villain vs Savior (11)

Zhang Cheeng and Liu Er died, their deaths were pitifully tragic.

The angry survivors, having seen blood, grew even more excited.

They pointed out other murderers among the small-time thugs who had been subdued or had their pressure points pressed by He Tiantian.

He Tiantian continued her COSPLAY of a magistrate, investigating the case; with a series of inquiries and collection of evidence (primarily witness testimony), she ultimately confirmed that none of these people were innocent.

Their hands were either stained with blood or had violated innocent women.

Without another word, He Tiantian sentenced those with more severe charges to death.

”...Heavenly King is wise!”

”Heavenly King is truly a just magistrate!”

Ma Kui, trembling, curled up his body, trying hard to minimize his presence.

The outcome of Zhang Cheeng and the others truly frightened him.

Despite strutting around the base behind He Xiaothian, flaunting the posture of a ”Superior”,

He acted as though he truly had the power to dictate the fate of others, or to bully the weak at will.

In reality, before the apocalypse, Ma Kui had been just a lowly security guard.

The sudden swell of power had twisted his heart.

But the apocalypse had been around for just over a month; such a short time was not enough to develop a true ”Kingly Aura.”

Deep down, he was still nothing more than a small-time thug who bullied the weak and feared the strong, greedy for life and afraid of death.

Because of an impulsive decision, he had fallen out with his former boss and been brutally beaten to the ground.

Then he had to watch as Second Owner, who once incited him, was directly thrown out by the boss as a sacrifice to the heavens.

Ma Kui’s fear was indescribable.

Even as foolish as he was, he knew that He Xiaothian was not joking this time; he was really going to kill his former brothers.

Maybe it was because of dissatisfaction with the betrayal of people like Ma Kui, or perhaps it was the irritation at Zhang Cheeng, who secretly infiltrated their ranks – of course, it could also be the simple-minded He Xiaothian engaging in power plays, yearning for unrivaled supremacy...

Ever fond of overthinking, Ma Kui’s mind was filled with all sorts of plausible and implausible guesses.

But regardless of whether ”He Xiaothian” intended it or not, today’s maneuvers had accomplished one effect — there was now only one boss left in the base!

Everyone who posed a threat to ”He Xiaothian” had been eliminated.

And ”He Xiaothian,” through the ”trial” of Ma Kui, Zhang Cheeng, and others, had won back the ”public’s heart.”

He distanced himself from the scum and beasts.

If in the past, the common survivors of the base hated no one more than He Xiaothian,

Then, as of today, He Xiaothian was not only no longer the prime villain but had become the just magistrate, acting on behalf of the people.

The numerous sins he had committed seemed to have been diluted.

As long as he could control himself in the future, as long as he could build the base well, as long as he could provide a way of survival for the survivors... some things, they just didn’t matter anymore.

Heroes of the Troubled Times, Demon Lords of Mayhem, it has always been so throughout history.

”He Xiaothian” couldn’t quite be said to be whitewashed, but he was no longer the Devil everyone hated.

His underlings, however, bore all the infamy and hatred of the victims.

Zhang Cheeng had already been beaten to death, and several underlings who were pushed out into the crowd of victims were beaten with sticks and fists until they were all thoroughly dead.

Only one Ma Kui was left—

Ma Kui shivered and shook; he was really scared.

But he dared not plead for himself, fearing that saying a word would remind everyone present — look! Here’s another Executioner as hateful as Zhang Cheeng!

However, such things can’t be avoided by Ma Kui trying desperately to hide.

Even if He Tiantian didn’t take the initiative to find Ma Kui, up-and-comers like Liang Yong, seizing the opportunity to rise, would desperately drag down former small-time leaders.

It’s only when all of Heavenly King He’s old henchmen are gone that the ”new blood” can truly stand out.

”Heavenly King, I, I want to report Ma Kui!”

Liang Yong, having just killed those underlings with a group of survivors, gasped for breath as he squeezed out of the crowd.

Without even catching his breath, he turned his spearhead towards Ma Kui, who wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Ma Kui’s cowering body trembled violently.

Before Liang Yong could finish his sentence, Ma Kui hurriedly kowtowed to He Tiantian, ”Brother Tian, no, Heavenly King, I truly realize my wrongdoing!”

”Please, for the sake of our brotherhood in the past, spare me this once!”

”Bro! Heavenly King! Ancestor! I have always followed you!”

Ma Kui was both urgent and afraid, tears and snot flowing out together.

He Tiantian watched the wretched Ma Kui, while the images searched from the original host’s memory were of him high and mighty, cruelly and savagely bullying the weak.
