I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 603 164: A Good Man and a Good Official?

"Oh, you've finally come?"

Yun You chuckled lightly as she watched Shen Ye, the familiar face, step onto the stage.

"I thought you might play the coward, waiting until the last moment to dare claim the victory."

To be honest, among Yun You's four enemies, Shen Ye was indeed a very special presence.

The other three, especially the eldest, Zhao, hardly ever showed up, so Yun You didn't have much of a stereotypical impression of him. Yet the hatred remained because he was the true culprit.

The third and fourth, Hikamu and Yang Lie, were the ones executing the massacre orders on the front line. Most importantly, they genuinely enjoyed the slaughter, finding amusement in a sea of blood.

But Shen Ye... was different.

To be fair, the civilians who died at his hand were not fewer than those killed by Hikamu and Yang Lie. After all, he was responsible for setting fires and locking down the city. That night, not a single person could escape the massacre, because of him.

Yet, his killings weren't for his own pleasure.

That one page, Yun You vaguely saw Shen Ye never had the slightest hint of a smile on his face but instead a kind of helpless sigh and resignation.

Therefore, in Yun You's heart, her level of hatred towards Shen Ye was probably the lowest.

But that was only in comparison with the other three demons. When it comes time to act and avenge, she would still have no hesitation.

"Miss Wu Ming..."

After a long silence, Shen Ye finally spoke.

"I want to know, who exactly are you?"

Yun You lightly shook her head, not rushing to reveal her identity, and casually replied, "I'm your friend Vitinya's junior disciple, oh, and your opponent in this match."

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

Shen Ye sighed lightly and said, "The venue for Hikamu's match looked just like a typical Nest City slum, but you and I both know that it's a unique district. We also know what happened there a year ago."

"So what I intend to know is, Miss Wu Ming, who are you really? Were you one of the participants in that incident? Or... a forgotten victim?"

"I can sense your extreme hatred towards Hikamu, which suggests you're not just simple opponents. There's a personal vendetta between you. But the issue is, Hikamu never mentioned someone like you to me before."

"Moreover... just three months ago, Yang Lie suddenly died, and I heard his death was extremely tragic, as if he was executed, just like Hikamu..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who killed Yang Lie should be you, right? And with that, everything makes sense..."

"The person who killed Yang Lie took over his Tiger Head Heavy Industries, reorganized it into the Huangxing Group, chose to support Mokaka, and became her trump warrior here."

Unlike Hikamu, who had a bit of petty scheming, Shen Ye's mind was indeed quite sharp. With a few analyses, he almost guessed the situation accurately.

"Does it matter?"

Yun You tilted her head and asked, "No matter who I am, it doesn't seem to change what you all have done, does it?"

"Or are you trying to whitewash Hikamu, saying he's a good person in daily life, a good husband to his wife, a good father to his children, an inspiring figure who helps others in the community?"

Though Yun You didn't explicitly admit it, this emotionally charged speech indirectly confirmed her identity.

"No."

To her surprise, Shen Ye shook his head.

"Though Hikamu and I were like brothers, I must admit, that guy is complete scum."

"A normal person wouldn't take pleasure in others' deaths, yet he did. So I won't make any excuses for him, nor would I defend my own actions on that night as innocent."

Upon hearing this, Yun You's expression gradually turned serious.

She remained silent for a while before slowly asking, "So what exactly are you trying to express?"

Shen Ye stood upright, his back straightened, then, under the astonished gazes of countless people in the Great Colosseum, he bent down and bowed to Yun You—a bow so standard, even the most ancient noble couldn't find any flaw in it.

"I deeply apologize for what I did, for the harm I caused you during that incident, and so I apologize to you."

"..."

"..."

At this moment, the entire Great Colosseum fell silent.

The Supreme Heaven Purification Field is renowned for its bloody battles and kills. Although warriors generally bear no deep hatred, once they stand on this stage, they implicitly abandon ethics, mercy, and kindness, retaining only the hunger for victory and glory.

Yet now, Shen Ye had performed such an act of "yielding before the battle," wasn't this boosting others' morale while diminishing his own prestige?

The middle-aged Main Combatant, Tang Jin, Vitinya, and others all wore a look of confusion.

They understood Shen Ye, knowing that while he usually appeared gentle and graceful, always displaying elegance, he had his own set of principles and rarely bowed down for anything.

"It seems there are some hidden connections between Brother Shen and our little junior disciple."
