Strange Cards

Chapter 225 My pain is greater than yours.

At that very moment, Shigure's severed arm slowly began to grow back, and soon a brand new right arm grew from the spot where Shigure's arm had been severed.

Shi Yu looked at Liu Rong, who was so frightened by the severed arms that she fell to the ground, and then severed both of Liu Rong's arms and crippled her vocal cords.

"This is the punishment you deserve; you can't escape it."

"At this moment, bullets from the past have struck the present."

"And I am finally whole."

Shi Yu put away her weapon and staggered out.

Just then, Shi Yu's eldest sister, Shi Xue, stepped forward and loudly rebuked her.

"Do you realize how sad we'll be if you do this!"

"You have suffered and toiled for so many years, and we have endured the same pain."

"And all you're doing now is passing on the pain. When will that pain ever be understood?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shi Xue.

The purple, circular eye was devoid of any emotion, only filled with chilling killing intent.

"Is the suffering you endured just this while you're here eating, drinking, and having fun, and helping your adopted brother beat your own brother?"

"ridiculous."

In fact, Shiyu had originally planned to leave and ignore it, but Shixue's words reignited her anger, which had already subsided.

Shi Yu slowly drew his demonic blade and pointed it directly at Shi Xue.

"People who have never experienced pain..."

"They cannot truly understand the existence of suffering."

My pain...

"Above you!"

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he suddenly swung his sword, and a sharp blade of energy cleaved Shi Ming in two. Shi Ming's internal organs then leaked out continuously.

After killing Shi Ming, Shi Yu suddenly found himself facing a gate leading to the underworld, and behind the gate, a small figure was staring straight at him.

Shi Yu ignored the wailing and crying behind her, and stared blankly at the small figure.

That figure was none other than Shigure when he was six years old. After completing his revenge, six-year-old Shigure nodded and then entered the underworld without looking back.

At this moment, Shiyu was truly reborn.

……

At this moment, Shiyu sat on a rock by the sea, quietly feeling the waves crashing against the rocks.

Shigure held a can of beer in his hand, quietly watching the sea under the moonlight.

Shi Yu carried Xiao Bo's dagger, and stood there quietly, admiring the ocean under the moonlight.

After Shigure finished his beer and put the can away, A's voice rang out.

"I'm telling you, you little rascal."

"You used to be so ruthless, but you still killed someone today. Why did you let those three women go?"

"Aren't you afraid they'll use the 'don't underestimate a young man' tactic and then stab you in the back'?"

Shi Yu laughed out loud at A's words, then took out a new can of beer, opened it, and took a sip.

"Those three can't even buy groceries properly, yet they want to go to Zhenxing Shi's house? You'd be better off believing I'm Qin Shi Huang!"

"Sometimes, for certain enemies, death is not the greatest punishment."

"With the old man gone, the two disabled people and those three good-for-nothing daughters who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun are definitely not enough to support the Shi family."

"The Shi family will be split up and devoured by the families in Kyoto, and they will be reduced to people who are not even as good as beggars."

"This is exactly what I want to see. For them, being without money and power is worse than death."

"And for them this is more painful than death, and my purpose has been achieved."

"Not bad, you're starting to look more and more like me back in the day."

Shi Yu looked at the sea at night and murmured to herself as she listened to the sound of the tide.

"Having shed the old shackles of the past, I now know who I truly am."

……

After tonight, the sky will fall over Kyoto.

The Toki family, the head of the Kyoto families, fell from grace overnight when their enemies came knocking on their door.

Meanwhile, other families were frantically devouring assets other than those left by the old man.

The other families weren't fools either; they all knew something about the huge commotion Shigure had caused.

However, no one dared to touch the assets that Shi Yu had donated, after all, there was still a vivid example before them, and they did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Shi family.

The hunters also noticed that the worry that used to often appear on Shigure's brow was gone, replaced by happiness.

According to Liu An, Shi Yu only became a real teenager at this time.

In October, Shiyu traveled to many places and shed all the shackles of her past. She felt incredibly relaxed.

Now, Shiyu has people who love her, her lover, her daughter, and people she wants to protect.

For Shigure, these people are his whole world, a small but warm world.

October passed quickly, but just as the hunters gathered again to bid farewell to the chief hunter, Fengchuan handed a strange card to Shiyu.

"for you."

"I just remembered that you became the last seat of the thirteenth rank and the headquarters hasn't given you a reward yet. Consider this card your reward."

"This is..."

Shi Yu looked at the seven of spades with a big black cross drawn on it and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Why is the symbol on this card an 'X'? Does it have no effect?"

Feng Chuan coughed lightly and then spoke.

"You yourself are a user of the Spade suit, so you naturally know those strange and unusual rules for using the Spade suit."

"This seven of spades has only ever recognized one owner, who was the hunter who first took it."

"This card has only one effect: sealing."

"Those sealed by this card will be transported to a special space and will never be able to escape."

"And this card will disappear after it is sealed, and we will only have the possibility of finding it again when it reappears in the world."

"Since the death of its original owner, every hunter can use this card, but it cannot be made to recognize another owner, which is why this card is not used by many people."

"Moreover, if this card is used improperly, it can even seal away the user, so you must be careful."

"However, Qi Wu told me that you need to gather the power of the spade faction to fight the Joker, so I'm giving you this Seven of Spades, one of the spade factions."

"Be careful when using it. I don't want to hear the news of you being sealed away one day."

"Those who are sealed away have not yet escaped, so be careful in everything you do."

Shi Yu looked at the Seven of Spades, put it away, and patted his chest.

"Don't worry, it won't be sealed."

"Thanks, Chief Hunter. I'll come visit you again when I have time."

"If the country holds a top-level meeting, remember to come with Qi Wu!"

"knew!"

Shiyu waved goodbye to Fengchuan and then boarded the plane back with the others.
