Chapter 369 - 280: Crushing a Heart from Afar! (Part 2)
If the traitor had any sense, he would know to run by now.
There’s no way to find him through normal methods.

Meanwhile.
In a tavern three blocks away.
The shifty-eyed traitor sat at the bar, drinking and nervously scanning his surroundings.
He seemed to be on guard for something.
Suddenly, something seemed to tap his shoulder.
Slap!
He was startled, his whole body trembling violently as he collapsed to the ground. His arm knocked over the glass in front of him, which shattered with a crash, scattering into countless shards, the amber liquid spilling onto the floor.
The other patrons turned their heads to see what had happened.
"Buddy, what’s wrong? I only tapped your shoulder!" a man exclaimed, spreading his hands in surprise.
"You... You’re not here to kill me?" the traitor said, trembling all over.
"Kill you? Are you crazy!" The man looked at him like he was nuts, quickly turning away, afraid of getting into trouble.
The traitor quickly realized that his reaction was too big, but it wasn’t entirely his fault. Ever since he learned that Rein had taken over the gang, he knew danger was imminent and was constantly on alert, fearing someone might suddenly point a gun at his head to kill him.
After paying for the glass, he put his hands in his pockets and left the tavern, planning to sit alone for a while in a nearby alley.
He bought a pack of cigarettes from a nearby store, lighting one as he walked into the alley.
This damp, narrow alley gave him an inexplicable sense of security at the moment. It was inconspicuous and unlikely to be noticed by others.
Even if "Rein" were looking for him, it was highly unlikely they would find him here.
Just as the traitor took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
He suddenly felt something cold against the back of his head.
Click! Along with the sound of a safety being released.
The hair on his body stood on end instantly. As a gang member, he was all too familiar with the cold metal cylinder and the sound of a safety being released.
It was definitely a gun!
He realized immediately that someone was pointing a gun at him from behind!
He quickly dropped the cigarette, raised his hands, and slowly knelt on the ground,
"Don’t... don’t shoot! Let’s talk this out! I have money, I can give you hundreds of thousands!"
"Stop talking, follow me!"
The next moment, a hood was thrown over the traitor’s head, and he was violently shoved into a car.
The car drove very fast, on a very bumpy road.
With the hood over his head, the traitor was thrown against the inside of the car multiple times, leaving him bruised and bloodied, his nose bleeding through the hood.
About five minutes later, he was violently dragged out of the car and forced into a basement.
When the hood was removed from his head, he was faced with a dark room,
filled with the metallic scent of blood and a suffocating chemical odor, overwhelming him.
In front of him sat a man wearing a demon mask, clad in a tight black suit, exuding a peculiar aura of stillness and heaviness.
Seeing this familiar demon mask, the traitor’s heart sank.
There was no mistake; the man before him was Rein, the leader of the Sloos Gang!
Since Rein managed to find him, it meant his betrayal of the Sloos Gang had been exposed!
Every gang has zero tolerance for traitors. Punishments are notoriously brutal, akin to torturous death, like being buried alive. He didn’t even have to think to know he was doomed to die today, and it would not be a good death.
Ignoring the blood on his cheeks, he glanced around.
He saw numerous figures forming a semicircle, all aiming their guns at him.
Suddenly, his heart sank to the bottom.
There was no escape!
Then.
A dull voice emerged from underneath Rein’s mask, "Snitching to the police and other gangs right under my nose... you’ve got guts. Did you consider the consequences before betraying me?"
"Give me another chance, we can negotiate!" the traitor’s tears and snot flowed, his pants soaked with urine, clearly terrified.
"There’s no more chance." Rein remained seated, extending his hand, fingers slowly curling inward.
In an instant,
The traitor felt a deadly pressure, hastily pressing both hands against his chest, mouth agape, tearing at the corners, blood oozing out, but unable to make a sound, his eyes brimming with tears, pupils trembling fearfully.
His kneeling posture twisted grotesquely, rolling and staggering to his feet, casting desperate, pleading gazes at those around him as his face grew increasingly flushed, blood filling it, turning a dark purple.
The onlookers didn’t know what was happening; they just saw Rein stretch out his hand, and the traitor acted as if suffering a heart attack.
They glanced at each other, a hint of confusion in their eyes, but none reached out to help the traitor. These people were Terry’s handpicked core members from the gang, not only fiercely skilled in combat but also with exceptional composure, unshaken by any situation.
Gradually, the traitor’s movements slowed, his desperate will to live slowly turning to despair; he knew he was going to die but didn’t know how.
As his vision darkened in waves, he saw Rein’s hand slowly clenching toward him in the distance, severe pain emanating from his heart, realizing his cause of death at last.
The eyes behind Rein’s mask flickered crimson as his outstretched palm suddenly clenched.
Snap!!!!
A violent cracking exploded from the traitor’s chest, and thick blood gushed from his mouth and nose, vomiting onto the floor, and he collapsed heavily, lifeless.
The surrounding people, after a brief shock, swiftly recovered, promptly removing the traitor’s body and cleaning up the scene.
Wang Ye also rose from his seat, unhurriedly departing the rancid basement.
As if the earlier gruesome scene had left no burden at all on his mind.
His method of murder just now was a new use of telekinesis he developed recently.
Killing from afar.
He needed only to use the invisible telekinesis to grip an organ inside the victim, killing them instantaneously.
No physical contact was necessary.
The way Wang Ye killed the traitor just now was by squeezing the traitor’s heart with telekinesis,
first gently blocking the arterial blood flow, causing a cardiac arrest.
After a period of torment, he would then directly crush it, killing the person completely.
This method not only tortured the victim’s mind but also accomplished a perfect, traceless kill.
It’s an impeccable criminal technique.
However, this ability has many flaws, the most significant being its ineffectiveness against distant enemies. Ultimately, telekinesis is Primordial Qi, which is not a stable energy. It typically manifests as mist, erratic and elusive. With Wang Ye’s current control, he cannot achieve precise control over it, so if the target is slightly distant, he cannot accurately target their heart for a precise strike. In that case, he could only crush the entire body, making the scene much more brutal, lacking the elegance of a precise heart crush.
