Chapter 636: The Unresisting Caihe Masaki—Die!!
"Apologies, Grand Duke Lu. Before this, I didn't know Sasaki had any conflict with you. Had I known, I would have immediately delivered him to you."
"In the Second Circle, our Tai Island and your Great Han maintain a very friendly cooperative relationship. To put it bluntly, Tai Island's development in the Second Circle up to today..."
"...has been entirely dependent on the care and support of various powerful figures within Great Han."
"As a special envoy, you represent..."
SLAP!!!!!
A hand shot out, precisely gripping Saika Maki's neck and lifting her entire body off the ground.
Lu Ding's voice followed immediately: "Threatening me?"
Though not explicitly stated, Lu Ding wasn't stupid—he clearly recognized this as Saika Maki cutting ties with Sasaki while simultaneously revealing her powerful backing as both threat and warning.
But would he tolerate such warnings?
Lu Ding looked at the woman held in his grasp who showed no resistance: "Come, tell me, who stands behind you? Who exactly is taking care of you?"Engaging in unrestrained human experimentation.
Lu Ding found it hard to believe that Saika Maki had only bribed the Path of Dry Bones 749 Bureau.
He was someone who preferred thoroughness—killing entire families, eliminating descendants, and digging up graves.
Since you mentioned having powerful backing...
Then Lu Ding wanted to hear exactly who it was.
To see if he could eliminate them all together.
Saika Maki's face turned crimson, her hands hanging limp, allowing Lu Ding to choke her.
She understood that intelligent people must learn moderation—non-resistance was the best form of submission.
Tears welled in Saika Maki's eyes as she looked at Lu Ding with a pitiful expression, struggling to speak: "Grand Duke Lu, you may have some misunderstanding about me."
"I know nothing about any matters. I simply had previous acquaintance with Sasaki."
"As friends, when he came, I hosted him. This... this is simply proper hospitality."
"You... as a powerful figure, he offended you... I... I tied him up, this was my way of ensuring survival..."
"I can submit to you absolutely... absolutely without resistance... no..."
When she uttered the words "without resistance,"
Lu Ding raised his hand, fingers pointed straight, and thrust forward.
Piercing through Saika Maki's chest from front to back, completely penetrating through!!!
The force carried blood onward without diminishing.
The wall behind Saika Maki instantly shattered open into a large hole.
Sunlight streamed in from outside.
"Pfft!!!!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed from Saika Maki's mouth, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why?
Then Lu Ding's voice answered her confusion.
"You really don't resist?"
Lu Ding found it interesting.
Acting!
Keep acting.
Saika Maki looked up, blood trickling from her mouth, disheveled hair stirred by the breeze from the broken wall, radiating complete fragility.
"Lu... Grand Duke... are you satisfied now..."
To be fair, this woman was intelligent.
But... she didn't know that Lu Ding had already learned about her human experiments from Zhan Tingzhou.
Based on this alone.
Even if Saika Maki could talk a hole through the sky and summon the highest deity through it today, Lu Ding wouldn't let her live.
"If... if you're not satisfied, you can contin..."
Pfft!!!!!!!
Again, before she could finish speaking, Lu Ding withdrew his hand from her body, raised it, and [Way of the Jinche] sliced through.
Directly cutting Saika Maki in half at the waist.
Blood gushed like a fountain, splattering across the entire room.
The pain made Saika Maki's mind go blank for a moment!!
This man was completely insane!!!!!!
She swore she was only demonstrating her attitude!!!
She hadn't actually asked Lu Ding to continue attacking.
According to traditional Great Han etiquette concepts of hierarchy and respect between superiors and inferiors...
Shouldn't the subordinate beg for punishment and injury, while the superior combines kindness with authority, administering minor punishment as major warning?
Moreover!!
She had collected some information about Lu Ding.
From it, she understood.
Those who could survive under Lu Ding needed to meet several conditions: first, foolish but not harmful to allies;
second, intelligent people who commit no evil;
third, not demons or monsters.
She believed that because her ancestors' human experiments were exposed, leading to the Saika family's complete extermination...
She had hidden her activities extremely well, ensuring absolutely no one else knew she was conducting inhuman human experiments.
And her attitude had been perfectly demonstrated.
When Lu Ding first pierced her heart, she hadn't moved at all, even forcibly suppressing physiological reactions to pain.
Just to demonstrate her attitude.
Logically, she should have survived.
Lu Ding shouldn't have attacked her a second time.
And with such severity.
How could this...
Lu Ding held back, wanting to know who Saika Maki's protector was, so the woman wasn't dead yet, but severely injured with irreversible damage.
After all, the [Way of the Jinche]'s slash attack wasn't something she could withstand.
Now she regretted it—she should have fucking resisted!!!
Ambushed him!!!
But things had reached this point—she hadn't resisted when in good condition, now bisected and unable to rejoin, wanting to resist was too late.
She could only commit to the role of top actress, continuing down this path, still begging for mercy, playing pitiful, demonstrating attitude as she said:
"Lu... Grand Duke Lu... I... I'm dying. Even like this, can't you see my attitude?"
Lu Ding nodded: "Hmm, I see your attitude, but it's not what I want. You haven't answered my question—who stands behind you?"
"Tell me, just tell me, and I'll spare you."
That's right, Lu Ding was lying to her.
Principles are for dealing with people—can beasts conducting human experiments be considered human?
"After all..."
Lu Ding paused, scanning the half of the Tai Island beauty in his hand, his eyes showing no appreciation for feminine charms, only contempt for an enemy's weakness.
"You pose absolutely no threat to me. Killing you or sparing you brings no significant change in value."
"If you can tell me who stands behind you, perhaps I might weigh the pros and cons and show some caution. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Lu Ding retracted the black smoke covering his body, making his smile appear as warm as possible.
Hearing this, Saika Maki felt somewhat shaken. She wanted to speak, but couldn't guarantee she'd survive after revealing the information.
After thinking briefly, Saika Maki used her pale, cracked lips—resulting from massive blood loss from being bisected—to say: "Could you allow me to bandage..."
Lu Ding's smiling expression froze.
"Bandage?"
A reasonable request, but also a psychological test—with her life hanging by a thread, still playing alternative compliance tests with him???
This precedent couldn't be set—once started, it would be endless, increasing costs.
Saika Maki continued with a difficult nod: "Yes, my injuries are too severe. I beg Grand Duke Lu to let me band..."
"Bandage your mother!!!!"
BOOM!!!!!
Black smoke exploded from Lu Ding's body, red light flashing in his eyes as he gripped the half of Saika Maki and slammed her downward with the tremendous force of [Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking]!!!!!
Lu Ding's voice seemed to gain reverb at this moment.
"GO DIE!!!!"
Saika Maki's expression couldn't change fast enough before she felt tremendous force throwing her downward.
When her body contacted the thirty-second floor of the consulate building.
A visible ring of white mist exploded outward, rolling in all directions.
Bang bang bang bang...
Saika Maki's body smashed through floor after floor downward.
Eighty or ninety bones from her half-body, twenty or thirty pounds of flesh, continuously collided with floor slabs during this process, shattering.
Until Saika Maki's body struck the ground floor lobby of the consulate, causing floor tiles to crack, concrete to collapse, foundations to sink simultaneously.
SPLAT!!!!!
Exploded!!!!!
Lu Ding stood at the edge of the broken floor, looking downward.
His icy gaze fell upon that pool of shattered bloodstains.
"Take your information held for ransom and go bandage in hell."
If he could obtain intelligence, of course that would be best.
But if he needed to play along with this human-experimenting scum while dealing with half-truths in the intelligence, then sorry.
Whoever wants to can deal with it.
He absolutely would not be manipulated by such things.
Until her death, Saika Maki never imagined that she, believing herself intelligent, thinking she understood Lu Ding's approach to non-resisting intelligent people, could survive.
Instead, she received Lu Ding effortlessly first severely injuring, then killing her. Most importantly, this woman's cleverness proved her undoing—she didn't resist.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA died well, died well indeed!!!!"
With Saika Maki's death, Sasaki finally broke free from some control restraints.
He just started speaking, hadn't even enjoyed a second of happiness.
Red light shone on his face—the crimson from Lu Ding's gaze.
"Laugh at your mother, your turn now!"
