Chapter 1907 Killing and Punishing the Heart, Ruthless Means
The women counted the number of people, and found that the absent people were Xia Ruisi, Lingdie, who couldn't even be a bodyguard, and Death Girl. Death Girl and Ling Die said something else. Although they said it was a bit difficult, they were already hovering on the verge of unemployment because they couldn't even do bodyguard work well. But Xia Ruisi, she is the key to supporting their escape.
Now that Xia Ruisi is not here, although they will not suspect that Xia Ruisi betrayed them, they will inevitably worry about her situation. Why didn't she appear here, and why did they return to the starting point? Did something go wrong, or was there an accident? No one knew the answer, and because of the unknown, they were even more at a loss.
The bad situation made it hard for them not to imagine the worst possibility, and once it was such a result, none of them could accept it. Ada and the others couldn't imagine how Zhou Yi would react after losing his sister, and Zhou Lan couldn't believe how terrible it would be if he lost his daughter.
The more you think about it, the more terrifying you become, the more you think about it, the more frightened you become. So that Zhou Lan immediately distorted his face, and asked Smith Zhou in a sharp voice.
"What the hell did you do? Where did you get my Charis!"
"Don't worry, Alan. I didn't do anything to hurt her. I just let her go where he wanted to go."
Seeing that Zhou Lan was still a little puzzled, Smith Zhou simply explained in detail. "It's as if opening a door can lead to the other side of the door. I just made some manipulations in it, so that the place that the door leads to has changed from one place to many. And each of you walks in This door leads to a direction that I set up alone. I have deliberately arranged it inside. Some people who are not so important, or who may cause trouble, I let them go .And like you, I'm bringing you back to where you started. Unexpected, isn't it?"
No one gave a positive response to this question, because they all knew that doing so was nothing but fueling Smith Zhou's arrogance. It's bad enough for a madman to have the last laugh. And if they were to go along with a lunatic and praise his crazy behavior, it would undoubtedly be extremely bad.
No one wants to add another block to their already bad enough mood, but the problem is that Smith Zhou doesn't intend to just let them go. He may not take action against these women present, but for Stark, he has no need to show mercy.
So the next moment, with a casual pinch, he already lifted Stark up.
"How about the surprise, Mister Stark. Did it come as a complete surprise to you?"
It's not about holding up high,
Instead, Stark, who was held up by the neck, is now enjoying both psychological and physical torture. Physically, he was a little out of breath, after all, his throat was tightly strangled. Psychologically, the pain of depression and complete failure is even more tormenting.
He struggled a bit, but couldn't break free from Smith Zhou's steel-like palm. And this seemed to consume all his energy, making him completely lose the idea of resistance.
Winner and loser, he can only accept this fate now. And he didn't want to accept more humiliation at the hands of Smith Zhou. At this moment, he could only glared at Smith Zhou and growled.
"I admit that you won, so why are you still hesitating, kill me!"
"Do you want to die that much? Or do you think this will be a relief for you?"
I feel that I understand Stark's mood at the moment, but Smith Zhou does not have the idea as he wishes. Maybe he had, but after Stark played him like that, he decided to take revenge on the friendship.
And when it comes to revenge, killing a person is the most superficial means after all. Killing and punishing one's heart, after all, punishing one's heart is the most ruthless method. But it is not easy to punish the heart of a person like Stark.
Stark is not that easy guy. Some simple people just need to create a few hurdles for him to get through, and they can kill his heart and turn him into a walking dead. Living is not as happy as being dead. But there are also some people, even if people from all over the world block him, he can still strengthen his will and be the kind of person who carries the burden.
These are the toughest people to deal with, and Stark, unfortunately, is one of those types of people.
It is often a thankless task to kill such a guy. Normally, Smith Zhou really didn't have that kind of leisure and elegance. He was more used to destroying the opponent directly. But this time, Stark really pissed him off, even if it took unnecessary effort, he still had to kill this guy.
And how can he crush his heart and make him feel the deepest despair? Smith Zhou put himself in the situation and conceived a little bit, and he already thought of a few possible solutions. Before these plans are implemented, there is only one problem to be solved, and that is to keep him alive.
Live, it's a simple matter. Logically speaking, it would be fine to let him go here. But he was a little uncertain. When he told him all about his plan, he would choose to live instead of declaring his plan to end with death.
To hide it from him? That would lose most of the fun. And the despair created that way is not deep enough. And speaking out, is there really no problem?
With such concerns, Smith was a little undecided on Monday. But soon, he figured it out. Stark shouldn't be the kind of guy who would easily end other people's plans with death. Perhaps this is the easiest way, but unless he has no other choice, he will definitely try his best to stop himself. And this kind of futile struggle is the real punishment for him.
Only when you realize that all your efforts are in vain, only when you realize that everything you do is wrong, useless, completely meaningless and worthless. Only in this way can his heart die completely.
This should be very interesting, if everything is as he envisioned, the final outcome must be as he described before, making Stark feel a hundred times, a thousand times more painful. In this regard, he is almost seventy-eight percent sure. And under the premise of having such a certainty, he already showed a malicious smile at Stark.
"You know? Stark, I suddenly don't want to kill you. Think carefully, if I kill you now, it seems that there is no other meaning except to vent the anger of this time. After all, I was put on by you, even if you did not cause any actual loss to my plan, after all, you still left me a stain. And use your blood to wash away this stain, I I think it's a little too cheap for you. So, I have another idea."
"Another idea?" As soon as he said this, Stark already had an ominous premonition in his heart. He knew very well that if Smith Zhou let himself go at this time, if he didn't shoot himself, he would definitely shoot the people around him. And if he wants to avenge himself by hurting the people around him, then he must do more cruel and unimaginable things to them.
It doesn't matter if you hurt yourself, anyway, he has already made up his mind to die. But hurting the people around him, his innocent wife and children and a whole bunch of humans who did nothing? How could he agree to such a thing.
"What the hell are you going to do? I will never allow you to do anything to my family and friends! Do you hear me, you bastard."
"Ah, you guessed it. That's right, it's not difficult to guess."
The furious roar didn't make Smith Zhou feel unhappy. On the contrary, seeing Stark performing according to his script, the smile on Smith Zhou's face also became more intense.
"As you guessed, it's a better way to get revenge on the people around you. But, simply doing it? I don't think it's enough."
"Killing them will certainly make you feel painful. But it's not like letting go of the shackles in your heart, so that you can fight me with a more decisive attitude. Although this can indeed give me a moment Happy, but in the end, I still have to pay for it myself. I don’t have the time to be so boring. So compared to this crude method, I have a better idea.”
"I have a question for you, Stark. In your heart, is the country you fought for more important? Or is your family more important?"
This question was a bit abrupt, and it also made Stark a little at a loss. Although he has always been firm in his family's position in his heart, when he really needed to compare the two, he couldn't give an accurate answer at all.
One is what he misses the most emotionally, and what he means as a father and husband. The other is the significance of him as Iron Man Tony Stark, President of the United States Tony Stark, and the deposit of his ideals and career.
He has done so much for the United States, sacrificed countless precious things, not just for fun. He really regarded it as an achievement worth fighting for all his life, and if he said that such an achievement had no value in his heart and was inferior to other things, he was simply deceiving himself and others.
Maybe he will choose his family in the end, but that doesn't mean that the meaning of the country has no value in his heart. It can only be said that he made the choice Stark should make and chose his family.
At this moment, Stark had the answer in his heart, but he didn't intend to tell Smith Zhou. Because this sounded like a proposition, the premonition that whatever the answer was, he would suffer too much. He would rather keep his mouth shut and remain silent at this time.
Of course, silence can't dispel Smith Zhou's thoughts, he doesn't need Stark to give an answer, he can see his thoughts clearly. It's nothing more than worrying that I will choose his most important side to hurt. This worry is really unnecessary, because both of them are in his calculation. And for this, he expressed quite candidly.
"Are you worried that I will play tricks on them? There is no need at all, because in my vision, they are both the main actors. What I would like to see is when your son puts all the Blame it all on the country you fought for and then what do you do when he takes revenge? And what do you do when your country characterizes your son as a villain like me ?”
"Don't think about it! Frank will never do this, and the US government will not do what you want!"
Stark's tone was a little excited, but not sure. He said this not so much to deny the possibility, but to comfort himself. And Smith Zhou wouldn't let him have any luck.
"Don't think about it? It's not certain. Your son is still young. For a child of this age, family members, especially parents, are more important than everything in the world. Suppose you are dead in his eyes, and his My mother has some mental problems because of this. So, as long as I make some arrangements and think that there is a government conspiracy behind your death, what do you think he will do?"
"As for the government, it's even simpler. Maybe they were a little bit lenient towards your son at the beginning for your sake. But, as the situation got serious, you felt that this lenient How long can it last. Nick Fury, who they are, you should know better than me. In the face of this pure national interest, do you think they will care who your son is?"
In all fairness, what Smith Zhou said were some big truths. And it was this kind of truth that made Stark's not-so-strong line of defense crumble in an instant.
He has already realized what kind of terrifying situation he is about to face, and facing this situation, he can only have one idea now.
For a moment, as if a dying beast was making its final struggle, Stark almost desperately used all the means he could use, and unreservedly launched a fierce attack on Smith Zhou who was close at hand.
His intention was very simple, he didn't want to take this opportunity to kill or hurt the other party, he knew very well that it couldn't be done. What he has to do is to provoke him and make him kill himself. And only if he killed himself, his statement that he didn't want to wash away the stain with his own blood would be self-defeating.
Although Smith Zhou was unscrupulous, he shouldn't be so serious that he wouldn't even admit what he said. When things deviate from the direction he expected, no matter how much he hates himself, can he continue to compete with a dead person?
Of course, he wasn't completely sure. It is more like an expectation than an analysis. He hoped that things would be as simple as he imagined, and he hoped that he could use the easiest way to solve everything. However, this is doomed, it is just a luxury.
