Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062

The captain wore a benevolent smile on his face, then walked to the old man’s side and was about to help him up from the ground.

But no one expected the old man to suddenly make a move, snatching the necklace from his chest, then swiftly slashing it across the captain’s neck, a line of blood suddenly appearing.

Immediately, blood gushed out, splattering the old man’s face, yet he smiled cynically.

The captain clutched his neck, backing away in terror, then collapsed to the ground amidst the gasps of everyone present.

Everyone was dumbfounded, no one expected the old man to act so suddenly, and with such ruthlessness and precision.

The pendant of that necklace was actually made from extremely sharp obsidian.

With just a gentle slide, the major artery ruptured instantly, and the captain lay twitching on the ground, trying to call for help, but unfortunately, even Zhang Yang, who was present, was powerless to bring him back.

Zhang Yang could buy some time, but without timely blood transfusion due to excessive blood loss, the captain would die anyway.

So Zhang Yang didn’t intervene, but he did feel a slight fear towards the old man.

This old man was definitely not a simple character, even the Guo Family were shocked speechless.

Could their own elder be such a ruthless and merciless person? Never had they thought of him this way before.

Killing someone was child’s play to him, and he could still laugh after killing. It was truly terrifying, truly insane.

Now they finally believed the old man really intended for everyone here to die without a trace.

Even those bodyguards who had previously attacked the old man were now avoiding him like the plague.

They felt a sense of luck, having attacked the old man and him not fighting back.

It felt like they had picked up a new life, and now they dared not provoke the old man any further.

But those Maozi were thoroughly enraged by the old man, each drawing a gun and aiming it at the old man.

One young man roared in anger at the old man, “Drop your weapon, or I’ll shoot you right away. How dare you kill my teacher, on what grounds? My teacher only wanted to mediate your conflicts, and you killed him.”

Seeing the young man filled with righteous indignation, the old man merely smiled calmly, wiped the blood off his face, and sneered, “So that was your teacher, huh? Then you better learn, never be like your teacher again, unable to see the situation clearly and spouting nonsense.”

“I’ve already told you how to get out of here. As soon as you kill Zhang Yang, everything can end, but you still childishly try to convince me with useless words, which I don’t want to hear at all.”

“If you have the guts, go ahead and shoot. Once you shoot, you’ll completely lose the way out. Even if you kill Zhang Yang, it will be useless.”

Saying this, the old man nonchalantly tossed the sharp necklace onto the ground.

The Maozi were infuriated, but beyond anger, they also felt a deep despair. The old man had truly gone completely insane.

He truly intended to take everyone down with him.

At this moment, a bodyguard shouted, “Maozi, capture Zhang Yang first, then we can discuss other things.”

As this was said, everyone fell silent.

In fact, this statement had struck at the heart of those present. After witnessing the old man mercilessly kill a captain, everyone understood there was no room for negotiation.

They could only follow the old man’s instructions; killing Zhang Yang was the only possible way out.

Even if they resented the old man’s actions, to save their own lives, they had no choice but to comply.

The bodyguard’s words merely tore away the facade of hypocrisy covering these people.

The Maozi didn’t know what to do either. Although they occasionally committed unethical acts, being forced to kill someone was something else altogether. Even if they got out, they wouldn’t be able to keep their uniforms.

For a moment, the atmosphere became silent, and within this silence, the captain quietly stopped breathing.

Time ticked away, and after ten minutes, there were only fifteen minutes left on the countdown.

This meant they had to resolve the situation with Zhang Yang within fifteen minutes, or there would truly be no way out, since the fire downstairs had been extinguished.

Now everyone’s target was singular, but no one dared to be the first to act.

Ironically, not even those Maozi dared to move against the old man.

Because the old man held the only way out.

Even if they wanted to punish the old man, it would have to wait until after they got out.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, shielding Xu Mengyan behind him, ready to make a move.

At this moment, a woman ran over, looking quite young, even younger than Guo Xiao’ai, and had an attractive figure.

Her face streaked with tears, she ran crying to Zhang Yang.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze focused there, curious to see what the young girl intended to do.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and kneel down in front of my grandpa to apologize.”

“For your own sake, and so that we can all survive, beg for my grandpa’s forgiveness, and then we can all leave safely.”

Hearing this, everyone turned to Zhang Yang, waiting for his response.

They all felt that only the person who tied the bell could untie it; Zhang Yang should indeed do as the girl said now.

Zhang Yang felt like laughing; were these people that naive?

But Zhang Yang didn’t outright refuse, because he saw that if he refused, more people would stand up to accuse him, and would then make their move against him.

To put it bluntly, these people were always searching for a reason to strike against him.

Although Zhang Yang wasn’t afraid of these people, he still wanted to disgust them a little.

So Zhang Yang said to the girl, “If you want me to apologize, it’s not impossible. I might even save you all the trouble by committing suicide right here.”

Zhang Yang’s words excited these people instantly, seeing a gleam of hope for survival. If it happened this way, it would be for the best, even the Maozi thought so, as it wouldn’t be proper for them to act against Zhang Yang considering their positions.

However, they also realized Zhang Yang seemed to have a condition.

The girl directly asked Zhang Yang, “Then what do you want to do this?”

Zhang Yang laughed, “It’s actually quite simple. I want to enjoy myself one last time before I die.”

“I want all the women here to strip naked, stand before me, and bend over.”

“I don’t need to say what happens next, right? Just let me enjoy once, consider it payment for sacrificing myself to save you all.”

Among the women present, there were over a dozen, and upon hearing Zhang Yang’s words, all of them stared at him in stunned silence.
