Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1502 - 449: Swept Away
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
Finally, he cast his gaze on the woman kneeling in front of him and spoke slowly, his voice surprisingly indistinguishable from the original Mayor’s.
"You did well."
The Mayor’s Wife was instantly full of excitement: "I am willing to offer everything to the True God!"
The Sacrificial Priest placed a hand on the woman’s head, with a hint of kindness in his voice: "You have already done enough, child. The True God will remember everything you have sacrificed."
The woman’s expression became increasingly excited, but just as she was about to say something, the Sacrificial Priest had already withdrawn that trace of kindness in his gaze, and his tone turned cold.
"Where have we gotten to now?"
"That fool indeed acted just as we all predicted!
I had the adjutant suggest he evacuate overnight, but this suggestion indeed triggered his suspicion, and he refused to evacuate overnight, choosing instead to stay in Gusanka and summon the troops to gather here—everything is proceeding according to our plan!"
The Sacrificial Priest nodded: "What about the forces?"
"Both the first and fourth mining districts have dispatched troops over, with the total number likely exceeding eight hundred." The Mayor’s Wife looked somewhat excited: "They took the bait, we’ve succeeded!"
"Very good, everything is within the plan," the Sacrificial Priest nodded, glancing out at the pitch-black sky.
"That suspicious guy was worried about being ambushed while fleeing in the wilderness. But he didn’t realize that the troops he sent, marching overnight, would encounter an ambush instead!"
"That’s because from start to finish, he thought his enemy was merely the South District hillbillies he looked down on. He never imagined that his adversary would possess the power to ambush a large military contingent in the wild," the Sacrificial Priest’s tone was relaxed: "Our ’buyer’ tonight gathered over a thousand troops outside to set up an ambush ring—our Mayor’s family is completely finished this time."
As the Sacrificial Priest spoke, he walked over to the real Mayor’s body on the floor—the Mayor had already died.
The Sacrificial Priest’s gaze carried a hint of disdain: "Did you really think Gusanka was your world, foolish man."
With that, he slowly raised a hand and waved it gently.
A speck of black ember fell onto the corpse, and subsequently, under the contamination of this ember, a mass of black flame erupted from the corpse, rapidly disintegrating its existence!
It didn’t look like "burning," but more like decomposing!
The corpse scattered like sand in the wind, little by little, disappearing into the air.
In a mere ten seconds or so, the corpse on the ground disappeared, not even leaving a trace of blood behind!
"After tonight, Gusanka will change hands—I hope the next Mayor will bring us more benefits..." the Sacrificial Priest smiled "...before we harvest him."
The Mayor’s Wife was visibly excited, her body even trembling slightly.
"Now, execute the final step, the cleanup plan! We must deliver a clean Gusanka to the buyer."
The Sacrificial Priest gently finished speaking, and the Mayor’s Wife immediately nodded vigorously.
She walked over, presenting the dagger to the Sacrificial Priest, and after he retrieved it, she picked up the handgun once more.
Bam!
Bam bam!
Three shots in succession, hitting the adjutant’s chest on the ground!
All three shots were right in the chest, and the poor adjutant’s last breath was finally completely snuffed out.
After the three shots rang out, the Mayor’s Wife heard urgent footsteps and shouting from outside—the guards, having heard the commotion, were coming this way.
She took a deep breath, forcefully tousled her hair, adjusted her face to show a terrified expression, and let out a loud scream, running over to yank open the door.
"Guards! Guards!! The adjutant betrayed the Mayor!"
·
The guards rushed into the study, only to see their Mayor standing sternly and angrily behind the desk.
In the corner of the study lay the once vibrant but now thoroughly dead adjutant!
"This guy tried to assassinate me! He’s the spy behind this attack!" the Sacrificial Priest bellowed, mimicking the Mayor’s tone, angrily roaring: "Today’s assault was a betrayal from within! Someone colluded with those rats from the South District!
The one who betrayed us was the adjutant! And those loathsome termites in the conference hall downstairs! For profit, they leaked the marching route and made a filthy deal with those guys from the South District!"
The guards were entirely stunned by the Mayor’s words, the overwhelming information leaving them speechless for a moment.
"I have already executed this traitor!" the Sacrificial Priest slammed the table forcefully, snarling with a twisted face:
But there are a few wicked traitors in the conference hall downstairs! What do you think we should do!!!"
The captain of the guard, ultimately recovering first, was swept over by the Sacrificial Priest’s fierce gaze, immediately recalling the Mayor’s usual conduct, his body shook, instinctively shouting loudly: "Kill all those traitors!"
The Sacrificial Priest nodded with satisfaction, slamming the table once again.
"Go downstairs! Kill all those traitors! Don’t leave a single one alive in the conference hall!"
These guards, always those most loyal following the Mayor, even if their minds hadn’t quite caught up, even if they hadn’t quite figured out the cause and effect, upon hearing the order, reflexively straightened up, responding loudly.
Then, with the sound of military boots, the guards, faces full of murderous intent, rushed out, running down the stairs!
Moments later, screams erupted from the meeting hall in the front of the Governor’s Mansion, quickly followed by gunfire!
Amidst the gunfire, there were also shouts of rage and wails of suffering.
This gunfire only lasted for about two to three minutes before it all came to a stop.
In the conference hall, those once commanding figures of Gusanka City, those local industry leaders, had all been gunned down!
Even the bodyguards they brought were eliminated right on the spot!
The gunfire was heard far and wide, but whether it was the people hiding in their homes in the North District at night, or the ones hiding in the darkened slums of the South District...
The vast majority of people did not know that just moments ago, in that brief time, the original group of power-players standing atop Gusanka City had been completely wiped out!
