Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 358 - 23: You Shouldn’t Have Come Back

The young man standing at the door also clearly realized something was wrong, his face changed, but his action of closing the door was a beat too slow, and Sun Hang kicked him right in the chest and abdomen!

The young man’s feet left the ground and he flew backward; the next moment, his lower back collided with the dining table leg in the living room, and he fainted without even uttering a scream.

Hearing the commotion outside, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the room. Seeing the young man on the floor, she wailed and threw herself upon him, shouting hoarsely, "What did this man do to my son?! Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, say something!"

Lu Hongming glanced at his son, who lay on the ground with an uncertain fate, and his wife sobbing beside him. His gaze towards Sun Hang was filled with fear and anger, and he shouted, "Do you know what you’re doing?! You... If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police!"

"Go ahead and call the police," Sun Hang said indifferently, "be my guest."

Lu Hongming took a deep breath and shakily pulled out his phone, but just as he was about to unlock the screen, a steel nail suddenly shot from somewhere, pierced the phone screen and his palm, pinning both to the dining table.

"Ah—"

Lu Hongming let out a wretched scream, and under the impact of the severe pain, beads of sweat instantly seeped from his temple.

"I never said you couldn’t call the police, but I didn’t promise I wouldn’t stop you." Sun Hang walked into the hallway, "Back to the point, I’m doing this for your own good... think about it, if you actually called the police, and the Sheriff accidentally found something that shouldn’t be in your study, what would you do?"

Upon hearing "study," Lu Hongming’s screams halted, he jerked his head up and subconsciously glanced towards the study’s door.

"Oh? Haven’t you taken care of those things yet?" Sun Hang showed a disdainful look, "That’s not very professional."

For a moment, Lu Hongming seemed to forget the pain; he jumped up, disregarded the wound in his palm being torn by the nail, and rushed towards the study.

However, he had barely taken two steps when the mycelium, which had unknowingly spread throughout the living room, entangled his ankles, tripped him to the ground, and dragged him to Sun Hang’s feet.

"Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me! I was forced into this!" Lu Hongming screamed, tearing his heart out, "I never wanted to retaliate against you! Believe me! Really! It was all because of that letter! That letter! If I don’t do what it says, my life... my family... it’ll all be over!"

"You followed the letter’s instructions, and what now?" Sun Hang eyed him playfully, "Isn’t your family going to be finished as well?"

"No... please... it’s not... please! I’ll do anything you want!"

"Really? Then go turn yourself in." Sun Hang laughed, "But before that, sign a property transfer agreement, transferring all your money and assets to me. How about that?"

Lu Hongming froze, a hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes.

"You’ve got to be kidding... facing death, yet you’re still craving for such worldly possessions?" Sun Hang said in surprise.

"No... no, I’m willing! I’m willing to give you all my property; just spare my family!" Lu Hongming knelt down, continuously bowing his head to Sun Hang.

"Too late." Sun Hang shook his head, "If you had agreed immediately, I might have given you a chance, but you hesitated... how does the saying go, ’He who hesitates is lost’... opportunities are always fleeting, you understand what I mean?"

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!" Lu Hongming cried, tears streaming down his face, "Please, give me another chance!"

"I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t seize it." Sun Hang drew out a handgun and pointed it at the trembling Lu Hongming like a leaf in the wind, "When you had your son put that thing in my car, did you think about giving me a chance?"

Sun Hang never intended to spare Lu Hongming from the beginning.

He didn’t truly know he was wrong, he just knew he was really about to die.

Sun Hang forgot where he had seen this saying before, but looking back now, it was damn classic.

"No—"

Amidst Lu Hongming’s howl, Sun Hang pulled the trigger.

"Click."

A dry smashing sound came from the chamber, and Lu Hongming’s head didn’t burst open like a watermelon hitting the ground.

"Oh, sorry." Sun Hang smiled at Lu Hongming, whose face was ashen and features frozen, "I forgot, this gun ran out of bullets."

"However, thanks to you, I found a way with more impact in the Surrendered Area." Having said that, Sun Hang turned the gun around and used the handle as a hammer, smashing it heavily on Lu Hongming’s forehead.

...

A dozen seconds later, Sun Hang stood up, pulled two tissues from the box on the dining table, and began wiping the red and white matter clinging to the handle.

His face and clothes were also stained with lots of blood, so Sun Hang simply took off his shirt, and then used the mycelium to "weave" a new outfit for himself.

Grasping the handgun again, a liquid metal bullet formed in the chamber, and Sun Hang aimed at the head of Lu Hongming’s son, who lay on the ground with an uncertain fate, and pulled the trigger.
