Chapter 156: Leaving the Kaoshan Association, if I can’t do it, I’ll do it! (Seeking continuous readership)

Listening to the man’s narration, many people around him showed anger.

Ji Muxue’s face was expressionless, but seeing her clenched fists and trembling scars, one could tell that she was also on the verge of an outburst.

Xiao Xi’s death was too tragic.

The scars on her body and her tattered clothes all seemed to narrate the painful torment she had endured.

She was a very cheerful and optimistic girl.

She was a good friend who had been with Ji Muxue from the very beginning.

Now, she had been humiliated in such a way.

How could Ji Muxue not be angry?

Huo Qichen, the President of the Kaoshan Association, said in a deep voice:

“Without evidence, if we go to confront him, we won’t even be able to see him.”

“Dou Xiujie has done so many bad things, and no one can deal with him, nor can we.”

“If I go looking for trouble with him, the result will be more people dying because of it.”

“The Kaoshan Association still has over two thousand people relying on us for their livelihood, and the loss of even one person must be avoided.”

“You are in pain, you are sad, so work hard to become stronger, and then use your own strength to resolve it.”

“I cannot take everyone and risk so much.”

These words calmed down the others around them.

Although somewhat cold and ruthless, that was the reality of the situation.

It was normal for hundreds of people to die in the base every day; as long as there wasn't a major riot, no one would investigate.

Moreover, they didn’t even have evidence, only suspicions that Dou Xiujie was responsible.

The most likely outcome would still be an unresolved matter, and if Dou Xiujie’s Commander father found out, the pressure he would exert on the Kaoshan Association could lead to countless deaths.

They also didn't want to involve themselves and their families.

The man said in despair:

“But I am just an auxiliary ability user with mental probing, even if I become a Fifth-Tier ability user, I am no match for a Second-Tier combat ability user, I can’t possibly avenge her with my own strength!”

“President, isn’t the purpose of the Kaoshan Association to be our support and give us a fair life?”

“Why can’t we seek justice and truth now!?”

After seeing his girlfriend’s body, his mental power erupted, causing his hair to turn white in an instant.

The immense grief almost made his heart bleed, yet he could do nothing.

Huo Qichen calmly replied:

“There is never absolute justice in this world, and not everything requires knowing the truth.”

“The Kaoshan Association can only offer you limited fairness and limited help.”

“And precisely because I need to consider the fairness of others, I cannot help you confront a Commander!”

He paused, then said seriously:

“I can tell you clearly.”

“I will not get involved in this matter, and neither will the Kaoshan Association.”

“If you still want justice, then leave here, find a way to become stronger, and bear all the consequences yourself!”

These words were utterly devoid of emotion, even humanity.

But this was the result of his weighing the pros and cons as a person in power.

The white-haired man slumped to the ground, glanced at his girlfriend’s corpse, and then bit his teeth fiercely, saying:

“Alright, I’m leaving the Kaoshan Association!”

With that, he stood up, bent down, and picked up his girlfriend’s body.

Just then, a voice suddenly came.

“Wait.”

He looked up and saw Ji Muxue standing up.

Ji Muxue looked calmly at Huo Qichen.

“I am also leaving the Kaoshan Association.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Qichen was startled, and just as he was about to speak to dissuade her, Ji Muxue raised her hand to stop him.

“President, don’t try to persuade me.”

She turned to look at the white-haired man.

“If the President won’t handle it, I will!”

“If the Kaoshan Association can’t do it, I’ll do it!”

“I am leaving the Kaoshan Association, and everything I do will be unrelated to the Kaoshan Association.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to seek justice!”

Huo Qichen shouted:

“Ji Muxue, think clearly, you haven’t gone to find your family yet, you have more important things to do.”

“The greatest possibility today is that you won’t get any justice, you’ll end up fleeing in disgrace, and he will die!!”

To be able to make Ji Muxue willingly acknowledge him as her boss, Huo Qichen was not a bad person.

On the contrary, he was a very upright person, especially in personnel management, where he paid great attention to fairness and ensuring the rights of everyone.

As a result, he gained the support of many people.

His words were still a warning to Ji Muxue from a rational and factual perspective.

Ji Muxue looked at the white-haired man.

“Are you afraid of death?”

The man answered without hesitation:

“No!”

“If you are willing to seek justice for Xiao Xi, I can immediately go and fight Dou Xiujie to the death.”

Ji Muxue nodded, then looked at Huo Qichen.

“You heard it, both of us have prepared for the worst.”

“President, no, Brother Huo.”

“I heard that a new order will be established in the Aerial Safe Zone, where people live in the sunlight, and no one can kill indiscriminately anymore.”

“I hope that when Tianquan Base also has an Aerial Safe Zone, you can lead everyone to live up there.”

“Don’t let such tragedies happen again.”

“After all, I will no longer be here.”

After speaking, she turned and walked out the door.

And as she walked out, a set of purplish-red full body armor with golden patterns appeared on her, and a long spear also appeared in her hand.

This was her ability, Purple Dragon Armor.

The prototype of the armor came from an esports game character she used to play; probably because she played this game frequently, the armor that materialized was in this style.

The armor provided her with comprehensive enhancements: defense, strength, reaction speed, and so on.

She had almost no opponents at the same tier, unless she was ganged up on.

The scar on her face was sustained when she was Third-Tier, injured by a Fourth-Tier Frost Centipede.

Now that she had advanced to Fourth-Tier, she had already solo-killed five Fourth-Tier Frost Centipedes, demonstrating how powerful her combat ability was.

It was this strength that gave her such confidence.

However, what drove her to do this was not just confidence, but also because she was inherently a compassionate and responsible person.

The lines that her armor’s game character always muttered proved this point.

‘Young man! Do you see it? That is the light of justice!’

When she hastily consumed the crystals, this was the sentence she thought of, and then she awakened this ability.

Everything has a cause and effect.

She felt that if she went against her true nature, her ability might never improve again, or even fail to condense successfully.

Because she would no longer be able to believe.

Repeatedly escaping danger with her life was by the power of belief!

She could definitely do it.

Huo Qichen watched Ji Muxue’s departing back for a minute, then sighed and said to his subordinates:

“Announce publicly that Vice President Ji Muxue was stubborn and had a conflict with the Kaoshan Association, and has now been expelled from the Kaoshan Association, with no further connection to it.”

Ji Muxue’s supporters immediately said anxiously:

“President, we can’t do this! We can’t be without the Vice President.”

Huo Qichen said in a deep voice:

“Ji Muxue’s departure is for the protection of others; do not disappoint her good intentions, go and do it quickly!”
