Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 156 Coins

A prison in City X, heavily guarded, is no longer part of City X; it has been occupied by the nation's elite military.

Cao Shou, once a powerful and influential figure in X City, is currently being held in temporary custody. He is notorious for his numerous crimes, so heinous as to be utterly despicable. According to normal procedure, he must await further instructions from higher authorities before being transferred to the outside world for a public trial.

Just then, something unusual happened in the peaceful prison. A dark shadow flashed past like lightning, so fast that it was almost imperceptible.

The guards immediately became alert. One of them chased after the dark figure in the direction it had disappeared, shouting, "Who goes there? Stop!"

However, the man didn't return for a long time. The other guard left behind felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something was wrong. He quickly drew his pistol and warily scanned his surroundings. A moment later, he saw a figure slowly walk in.

"Monster... Ah!" Before he could finish speaking, the figure extended a sharp claw with lightning speed, instantly tearing him in two. Blood splattered everywhere, the scene extremely bloody and terrifying.

As the black mist gradually dissipated, the newcomer revealed his true form. It turned out that this mysterious figure was Cao Yu, who had transformed into the alien Oz. He walked step by step to the cell where Cao Shou was located, his eyes flashing with anger.

Cao Shouze sat quietly in his cell, his face expressionless, as if he were indifferent to everything that was happening before him.

"Brother! You've done so many bad things, did you ever think you'd end up like this?" Cao Yu asked through gritted teeth.

Cao Shou remained silent, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "You shouldn't have killed those two people."

"Hmph, those two are nothing but ants, they deserve to die." Cao Yu sneered, "You're so calm, do you think I'd come to your rescue?"

Cao Shou raised his head slightly. "You won't, but I also know you won't let me die at someone else's hands so easily." Cao Yu clenched his fist. "That's right, you must be dealt with by my own hands. Only your blood can wash away my hatred for your sins!"

Cao Shou sighed deeply: "You've changed. You actually killed those two innocent guards. You weren't like this before!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yu instantly flew into a rage, hysterically roaring at Cao Shou, "So what? All of this was forced upon us by you! It was because of you that she died! How could you be so cruel!"

Faced with the emotionally charged Cao Yu, Cao Shou remained unusually calm. He simply gazed at his younger brother and slowly said, "At this point, there's no point in saying anything more. Come on, let's do it and settle this once and for all."

In truth, Cao Shou knew perfectly well that after X City was destroyed, his true identity was impossible to verify. X City, once filled with sin and darkness, was about to undergo a complete transformation and rebirth.

He had already arranged for people to secretly send out the lists of high-ranking officials involved in corruption and bribery. He felt utterly satisfied with the mission he had undertaken.

However, regarding the cause of his brother's fiancée's death, although he didn't directly commit the murder, he did personally cut off her head. Even if he did it out of sheer desperation, no matter how he explained it, this fact remained unchanged, and he knew his sins were grave.

If he ultimately dies at the hands of his younger brother, it might be a relief for him.

Upon hearing Cao Shou's words, Cao Yu stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, his gaze fixed on Cao Shou's face, which was filled with relief and liberation. His body trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if he were being violently impacted by an invisible force.

At this moment, Cao Yu's eyes were filled with endless pain and deep struggle. Those emotions surged like a tidal wave, almost drowning him.

For some reason, at that moment, memories of the past surged into his mind like a flood. He couldn't help but recall his childhood.

At that time, he was frail and sickly, and always needed someone to take care of him. The person who was always by his side, caring for him meticulously, was his older brother.

Back then, the older brother, Cao Shou, had exceptionally good grades and should have been able to enter a prestigious university, embarking on a brilliant future. However, in order to provide his younger brother, Cao Yu, with better educational opportunities, Cao Shou gave up the chance to study at a renowned university and chose a vocational college instead. This way, Cao Yu could earn a substantial scholarship based on his excellent grades to support his dream of becoming a police officer.

At this moment, it felt as if two little people were arguing fiercely inside Cao Yu's heart. One was telling him to let go of his hatred, while the other kept urging him to take action quickly.

"Cao Yu! What are you hesitating for? You chose this person, and now you're afraid to kill him? Are you kidding me?!" The alien Oz kept urging him on.

In the end, reason prevailed, and Cao Yu slowly released his hands, letting them fall limply to his sides.

"Brother...why? Why were you so kind and upright before, but now you've become so cold and heartless?" Cao Yu's voice trembled, choked with uncontrollable sobs. The familiar yet unfamiliar figure before him began to blur.

Just then, a deafening roar came from outside, followed by the heavy, hurried footsteps of numerous soldiers. "Your time is running out." Cao Shou stood up with a grave expression, his eyes coldly fixed on Cao Yu. "If you don't kill me now, you won't have a chance once they break in."

Cao Yu gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he still couldn't muster the courage to harm his own brother. "I..." He felt his legs go weak, his body involuntarily retreating until he finally collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a group of well-trained soldiers burst through the door like a tidal wave. They quickly spread out and, with lightning speed, firmly subdued Cao Yu, who was still in a dazed state.

"What a useless piece of trash!" the alien Oz inside Cao Yu roared angrily. "You picked this person yourself! Now that things have come to this, you don't even have the guts to kill anyone! I must have been blind to trust you back then!"

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Cao Yu's body. His previously dazed eyes were instantly shrouded in a layer of blood red, and he seemed to lose consciousness. A strong aura burst forth from his body, instantly breaking free from the soldiers' restraints and transforming him back into the form of the alien Oz!

"Since you don't dare to do it yourself, let me control your body to complete your task for you!"

Seeing this, Cao Shou's eyes flashed with a resolute glint. He looked at the group of soldiers and shouted, "Shoot me dead!" The soldiers were stunned. Their orders were only to support and arrest the intruders, not to kill them. Besides, they hadn't expected the intruder to be a monster!

In that instant, Cao Yu, controlled by the alien Oz, lunged at Cao Shou: "Die! Killing you will complete my mission!"

It would be good to die like this.

Cao Shou closed his eyes, preparing to face death.

The moment the alien Oz touched Cao Shou, a beam of light suddenly appeared on Cao Shou's body!

The next second, an astonishing scene unfolded—red, green, and yellow coins appeared out of thin air without warning! They hurtled towards him like three bolts of lightning, slamming into the alien Oz.
