Chapter 894: Crippling Her Special Ability!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone fell silent.

The Great Elder’s crimes were indeed unforgivable.

But could Vulture really be forgiven?

Xue Xi took a step forward and slowly said, “Grandpa changed what the Superhuman Organization stood for in order to protect me. Before my matter came about, the Superhuman Organization had never killed anyone!”

The Great Elder lowered his eyes and was determined to drag someone down with him. “Was I the one who’d held a gun to his head and forced him to kill someone? If he did something wrong, it means he did something wrong! No matter how good the reason is, it’s no justification for the Superhuman Organization to kill!”

This was common sense.

All these years, in order to protect Xue Xi, the Superhuman Organization had actually killed countless espers.

The members of the Chinese special department included, many who had stood in the Superhuman Organization’s way had been killed.

This was also the reason why, after Ji Silin had appeared, Jing Fei and the special department no longer stood firmly behind Xue Xi..

It was also why Xiang Huai had declared himself to be Vulture!

On the way here, Xue Xi knew that after exposing her maternal grandfather’s identity, she would no longer be able to receive absolute respect in the special department.

However, she could not let Xiang Huai bear the infamy.

She would bear Grandpa’s mistakes.

Xue Xi took a step forward and said, “Grandpa is already old. I’ll bear the consequences of his mistake!”

She said firmly, “I will accept all the judgment from the esper court!”

Given the reason he had for his actions, Grandpa’s crimes were no longer worthy of death.

However, the Chinese lawyers still needed to continue arguing to determine how many years he’d need to be imprisoned.

Moreover, she believed that no one would reject her suggestion.

With her and Xiang Huai around, China was too strong. If they could imprison her for a few years and give everyone a chance to develop, everyone would definitely be happy.

As expected, the Great Elder’s eyes lit up. The rest were clearly tempted by this condition and their eyes revealed excitement.

Xue Xi knew that there was nothing unexpected about this.

Before coming, she had already said that she would not let Grandpa be hurt.

The Great Elder snorted and said, “Xue Xi, do you know how he will be punished for his mistake? The punishment is for him to cripple his own special ability! Are you sure you want to carry it out for him?”

Self-cripple.

This was indeed the best outcome for them!

Xue Xi clenched her fists.

Her special abilities no longer belonged to her alone but also to China!

At this moment, she heard someone say, “Xixi, stand down.”

Xue Xi paused and turned to look at him. “Grandpa…”

“Stand down. Otherwise, Grandpa will immediately bleed on the spot to make up for his mistake!”

Although Ye Lai’s voice was gentle, it carried the pressure of an elder, making Xue Xi retreat subconsciously.

Ye Lai looked at her and slowly said, “Xixi, do you know why Grandpa went crazy?”

Xue Xi shook her head.

Ye Lai said, “Because I feel guilty too.”

Xue Xi paused.

Ye Lai smiled. “Vulture is famous in the world arena. In the end, I can’t let the younger generation help me take the bullet. Xixi, do you know? Being able to accept punishment and being allowed to atone for my previous crimes are the greatest comfort to me.”

His hair was white and there were many wrinkles on his face. “If you took the blame for me, then for the rest of my life, I’d still live in self-reproach and guilt.”

Xue Xi’s eyes turned red. “Grandpa, you…”

Ye Lai looked at the Great Elder. “I’m willing to accept the punishment from the esper association!”

Following this, he suddenly reached up and threw a pill into his mouth.

In just a few seconds, he spat out a mouthful of blood. “Pfft!”

“Grandpa!”

Xue Xi rushed in front of him and held his shoulders. She activated her special ability and realized that her grandfather’s special ability had been crippled.

“Old Ye…”

Behind him, Song Wenman’s eyes were red as she sobbed.

Ye Lai coughed a few times and said, “After killing so many people, it’s already the best outcome for me to still be allowed to live and accompany you.”

If an esper’s special ability was crippled, his bodily functions would also be damaged. Grandpa was already old, so after his special ability was destroyed, his body became even weaker.

Xue Xi pressed her grandfather’s shoulders and used “Heal” to temporarily transfer the pain in his body to herself.

After her grandfather’s health improved, she turned to look at the Great Elder with red eyes. “Now, it’s your turn!”
