When Trede Pemton opened the front door, he saw Chen Zhao outside.
âMr. Chen, what a surprise.â Trede was rather startled that Chen Zhao actually visited him at this hour.
âMr. Trede, I want to talk to you.â
âAbout what?â Trede looked at Chen Zhao, puzzled.
âI received a document on the wineryâs accounts,â Chen Zhao said, smiling, as he took out a thumb drive.
âWhat do you want?â
âWhy donât we have a chat inside?â
âCome in.â Some gloom flashed across Tredeâs eyes.
Chen Zhao took a look inside Tredeâs house, after which he sat on a chair right away. âMr. Trede, your home looks really simple. Where did you spend your money? Rumors outside claim that your winery had been in a bad state, but I know youâre richer than what most people think.â
âI donât understand.â
âDeppler gave me this thumb drive,â Chen Zhao said, waiving the thumb drive in his hand.
âDo you know Deppler?â
âTo be precise, Deppler left it with me as a deposit. He showed me the information inside, so I lent him five thousand. He said that if he couldnât return the money, the thumb drive would be mine. Also, he told me an interesting piece of information⊠You burned down your own winery.â
âHaâŠâ Trede laughed. âMr. Chen, he is but a small gangster.â
âI donât care if heâs telling the truth.â
âJust say how much you want.â
âTen million.â
âMr. Chen, I thought that youâre a good kid. Do you know what youâre doing? Youâre blackmailing.â
âWhatever you like to call it. Anyway, if you donât give me ten million, Iâll publicize the information in this thumb drive. By then, everyone will know that you have enough money to pay the victimsâ families, but you chose to hide your wealth. Youâll face more than just the victimsâ relativesâ questioning; your reputation will be ruined.â
Chen Zhao had a gentle smile on his face. âApart from that, I also suspect that you killed Deppler.â
Crash!
Suddenly, the window broke without warning and someone jumped into the house.
âWinry? Why would youâŠâ
âWhat⊠Whatâs this?!â Chen Zhao stared at the unrecognizable face of Winry in horror.
âI need blood!â Winryâs face was filled with bloodlust. Although she looked like she was in a bad shape, she was still extremely dangerous.
âI donât want money anymore⊠I donât want money anymoreâŠâ
âMr. Chen, itâs too late to regret now.â Tredeâs face was occupied by a cruel smile. âYou can now go and accompany Deppler.â
âYou really killed Deppler? Mr. Trede, I promise I wouldnât tell anything to anyone! Please let me go⊠Please! I wouldnât trouble you anymore!â
âItâs too late. You know what? Deppler only wanted five thousand from me, and I killed him. And you wanted ten million! Youâre much greedier than Deppler.â
Trede looked at Winry. âWinry, heâs yours.â
Bam!
Winry leaped towards Chen Zhao but was sent flying away by him with a single punch. Chen Zhao felt as if he had just punched an iron plate.
âYouâŠâ Trede was clearly astonished.
He knew well how strong Winry was.
However, could she not even withstand a single punch from Chen Zhao?
âMr. Trede, thank you for your confession.â Chen Zhao smiled brightly. In fact, he was not holding a thumb drive, but rather a voice recorder pen. He had merely placed a thumb drive casing outside the voice recorder.
âWhat do you mean?â
âYouâve already confessed that you did kill Deppler.â
âArenât you here to blackmail me?â
âDo you wish to be blackmailed instead?â Chen Zhao smiled.
Trede stared at Chen Zhao with a gloomy look. âBut are you sure that you can walk out of this place alive?â
âIf you think that old witch can stop me, youâll be very much disappointed.â
A fierce look blasted out from Winryâs eyes. Although she was severely injured at the moment, she was still dangerous.
âLooks like you knew Winryâs true identity long ago.â
âA perverted old witch.â
âThen how about mine?â
âYours?â Chen Zhao was somewhat stunned.
Just then, Trede slowly stood straight. His originally humpbacked body gradually straightened and became bigger.
âYouâŠâ Bewilderment was written all over Chen Zhaoâs face.
âIâm delighted to see the fear on your face.â
âYouâre⊠not human? Youâre a demon?â
âI am human, at least most of me is.â Tredeâs body was still growing. Very soon, he reached three meters in height. Trede glanced at his sturdy limbs. âDemonic bloodline only occupies a small part of me.â
âErr⊠Right! I still have something to do at home. Iâm leaving first⊠Bye.â
At the instant Chen Zhao turned around, he felt an air current from behind.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao took out an angelic crystal and threw it towards the incoming Trede.
Trede obviously did not recognize the angelic crystal, so he did not dodge at all.
When the angelic crystal landed on Tredeâs body, it blasted into a beam of light. Chen Zhao smelled a burnt smell.
âAh!!!â Half of Tredeâs body was enveloped in the white light. The light came and vanished quickly, and soon, only the half-dead Trede was left on the floor. His left shoulder was complete burnt and his flesh and skin were all crumpled. Smoke was even coming off from his body.
Winry watched as Trede collapsed onto the floor. Suddenly, she dashed beside him, grabbed him, and then charged out of the window.
Although one of Winryâs legs was almost totally disabled, she was still as fast as a wolf.
She was carrying Trede, but her speed was not quite affected.
âYou wanna run now? No way!â Chen Zhao immediately began to chase.
Winry was indeed very fast, but Chen Zhao was not slow either.
After all, Chen Zhao had consumed superman potion before and his body was way stronger than normal humans.
As the two parties raced against each other, they slowly entered the depth of the mountain.
Chen Zhao realized that Winry was running towards the Gate of Hell.

Whatâs she doing? Is she going to open the Gate of Hell?
Chen Zhao did not think so. She had yet to collect enough sacrificial souls.
However, Chen Zhao had to chase them. If they did not die here, they would recover and one day find him again for revenge.
Even if they did not choose revenge, they could still complete the sacrifice and open the Gate of Hell, which would lead to a massacre.
