Chapter 216: Sixty-three, have you come to pick me up? Father
Gerard walked out from the darkness, looking at the face that was oh so familiar.
Just like in his memory, not even a hint of aging, still so young, as if it was only yesterday that he had been pleading to join the Night Star Team.
It made Gerard feel somewhat dazed.
Then he heard Yong Xin speak again, “You have aged a lot, Father.”
That voice pulled Gerard out of his daze.
He looked at the face again.
It was indeed over ninety percent similar to his memory.

The only difference was that the once youthful and spirited smile had turned into a highly uncomfortable… fake smile.
But for Gerard, that was the most significant difference.
“You…” he slowly began, “what exactly are you?”
Hearing this, Yong Xin sighed lightly, “Isn’t it a bit too much to call me ‘a thing’? Father, have you forgotten who I am? Or is it that an illegitimate son doesn’t need to leave such a deep impression?”
Gerard ignored such low provocation from Yong Xin and just quietly looked at him.
Yong Xin’s gaze gradually moved down, looking towards Gerard’s feet, where one of his subordinates lay—previously an elite of the Devil’s Army, but in front of Gerard, he had no chance even to utter a warning.
It must be because…
His gaze gradually moved up, focusing on Gerard’s left eye, that very special eye, which still faintly glowed in such darkness.
“You got yourself a fine eye,” Yong Xin chuckled, “I never figured out why, upon your return from Rhein, you suddenly could see so much more clearly. Our cover-ups appeared merely as decorations in front of you, all your actions were transparent to you, all plans laid bare as if you had changed your eyes… And I never imagined, it was literal.”
He paused, then while showing a letter he had opened to Gerard, he sighed lightly,
“What a pity, the news I received from Rhein came too late. If I had known earlier that the eye might have ended up with you, I would never have waited until now. But I still really want to know, how did you get that eye, according to my information, it should have been a Rhein Priest named Ulu who took that eye… What deal did you make with him that he gave the eye to you?”
“Or did you… kill him?”
“If that’s the case…”
His gaze shifted again, this time to Gerard’s left hand.
“Then you have more than just an eye.”
“No wonder, you were able to defeat Bishop Hallman.”
Yong Xin kept muttering, as if talking to himself, yet also as if speaking to Gerard.
But he didn’t answer any of the questions, just stepping closer to him, his heavy footsteps ticking like a second’s hand in a pocket watch.
Then, Gerard stood in front of Yong Xin.
A metallic friction sound.
The massive Chainsaw Sword then rested on Yong Xin’s shoulder, the ferocious and sharp teeth closely pressed against Yong Xin’s neck, swiftly slashing the skin, blood uncontrollably flowing down.
“You still haven’t answered my question,” Gerard gazed at Yong Xin, slowly beginning, “you, what exactly are you?”
Yong Xin finally stopped talking to himself. He looked down at the Chainsaw Sword set against his neck, fully aware that if Gerard were to activate it, his head would fall off instantly.
But even then, his expression hardly changed.
“Do you want to kill me? Father,” Yong Xin smiled as he looked at Gerard, “ten years ago you abandoned me… now ten years later, are you going to kill me personally?”
…Ten years ago?
Gerard seemed somewhat dazed.
“It seems you really have forgotten, Father,” Yong Xin gently said, “ten years ago, in the Abyss, when I could no longer walk, you told me you would come back, asked me to wait for you, wait for you to return to pick me up, I waited and waited, but never did until… now.”
Yong Xin spread his arms, as if wanting to give Gerard a big hug.
“Now, have you finally come to pick me up?”
“I really have been waiting… for a long time.”
After he spoke, Yong Xin slowly moved towards embracing Gerard, while Gerard showed no extra reaction.
Until Yong Xin’s hands were about to touch Gerard’s body, he heard a faint click.
Yong Xin hadn’t figured out what it was when the worn chainsaw sword on his shoulder suddenly roared louder, like a beast bellowing.
The crazily spinning teeth instantly sliced through Yong Xin’s neck and then effortlessly continued downward, splitting his entire body in two.
Among the bursting spray of blood, Yong Xin widened his eyes, staring hard at Gerard, seemingly unable to believe Gerard had acted like this.
“Why… did… you…”
By the time he managed to speak, he was already a half-body lying in a pool of blood.
He stared intensely at Gerard, his eyes filled with shock, loss, and pain.
“Father… why…”
Gerard looked at Yong Xin’s twisted half-body, calmly saying, “My son died ten years ago. You are merely a monster that came back using his body.”
Yong Xin opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something more, but the huge loss of blood still drained the remaining life and strength from him, eventually his eyes wide open, motionless.
