Chapter 9: The Time of the Hunt

A sharp-eyed guest saw the abnormality on Joseph’s neck. A thin dark red line appeared on Joseph’s neck. It looked extremely abnormal.

“Uh…”

Joseph covered his neck with both hands. He felt that it was getting more and more painful.

Moreover, something was flowing down.

When he stretched out his hand to take a look, it was a shocking red color.

“Blood… It’s blood…”

Joseph’s pupils instantly dilated. Where did the blood come from on his neck?

The hand that was covering his neck exerted even more force, trying to stop the blood.

However, by accident, his fingers peeled open the wound that was originally just a thin line and penetrated into his neck.

He felt warm liquid, pieces of flesh, and seemed to feel many lines and tubes.

Those were his blood vessels and trachea.

“Ho– Ho–”

Joseph panted heavily. He felt that he could no longer breathe fresh air.

Then, he began to walk towards the crowd. He opened his mouth to speak, wanting to seek help from the people.

“I– Ho– Help– Ho!”

The severed trachea made it impossible for him to say a complete sentence. His actions earlier had also caused the wound on his neck to completely split open.

Blood flowed down like water.

“Ah!”

The crowd screamed as they watched Joseph, who was covered in blood, walk towards them.

The timid ladies turned around and ran, while the brave men continued to retreat as Joseph walked towards them.

“Save… Save… !”

Joseph felt his life draining away. He was going to die here very soon.

All he wanted now was for these people to call an ambulance for him instead of backing away from him like he was doing now.

Joseph was panting as he walked, his mouth and nose breathing heavily, greedily.

He felt that his brain was starting to run out of oxygen.

Because air could only enter his brain from his severed trachea, not his lungs.

His entire body was like a dilapidated bellows.

More and more blood flowed out.

The amount of blood that flowed out of his body was several times more than the most generous man in the blood donation cart.

Finally, he could not hold on any longer.

“Pu-!”

He fell to the ground weakly, and the wound on his neck opened up because of his fall.

His flesh and blood, his blood vessels, and his windpipe were displayed in front of his guests without reservation, bringing a truly spectacular show to his guests.

“Ah!”

The crowd was filled with ear-piercing screams. The people could not accept and understand what was happening in front of them.

Just a second ago, he was still fine. The biggest bully of Z-City, the one who had done all the bad things but was able to escape the law. The dignified leader of the gang of Z-City, Joseph, had died just like that?!

Furthermore, the way he died was so miserable and terrifying. His entire throat had been slit open. It was almost as if he had wrapped it around his neck. It was as if half of his neck had been slit open.

Joseph’s blood vessels and trachea were exposed to the air, and fresh blood spurted out. His mouth was spitting out blood foam, and his body was twitching on the ground from time to time.

Under such a terrifying scene, even those who had good mental fortitude were all pale-faced.

Those who had poor mental fortitude had already run out of the place on the spot and started vomiting.

Some even threw up on the spot.

Those with even worse mental fortitude were so frightened that they fainted on the spot and lost consciousness.

“Hey, is that the police?! Come here quickly! Come here quickly!”

“Doctor! Doctor! Call a doctor!”

“Ambulance! We need an ambulance!”

People shouted in panic, calling for an ambulance, calling for a police car, and finally, even the fire alarm of the fire department was called over. The entire scene became a mess…

Adams, the instigator of the incident, had already returned home.

He opened the door and entered the house.

Adams first poured himself a cup of coffee, then touched his pocket to light a cigarette to calm himself down.

But after touching for a long time, he only found an empty cigarette box. Adams smiled wryly. There were no more cigarettes.

He wanted to go downstairs to buy cigarettes, but there was another problem — He had no money.

Previously, he had taken a taxi to [Desire Night]. There was a taxi fare.

Then, he ordered a glass of wine. Although it was only one glass, it wasn’t cheap.

Finally, he took a taxi back. The money in Adams’ pocket wasn’t even enough to order a cup of coffee from the coffee shop.

“I don’t know when the audit will be completed. It’s only after confirming that I’ve completed the task that they will send me a remittance.”

Adams sat on the sofa and turned on the television. He tried to watch those boring television programs to relieve his boredom.

It was his first time killing someone. Although he was a little nervous, the feeling of surprise wasn’t bad.

Even though it was his first time killing someone, Adams didn’t have the disgusting feelings and guilt that others had described in novels and television dramas.

Perhaps he was born to do this.

Since he had killed a notorious villain, he didn’t feel any burden at all.

When he thought about the 100,000 USD that he was about to receive, Adams’ heart burned with passion.

100,000 USD. An ordinary person would need to work for countless months to earn it, and the time he spent to earn it was only an afternoon!

Ding!

The notification and vibration of the cell phone on the table caught Adams’ attention. Could it be that the bounty had arrived?!
