Chapter 1280: A Tragic Death

“How is it?” Master Hairwood asked when he saw the female a.s.sistant return.

The female a.s.sistant immediately got into the car and smiled. “Everything went smoothly. They’re just a bunch of fools.”

Master Hairwood smiled and got the driver to drive to the airport.

At that moment, a screeching sound of braking could be heard. Following that, taxis blocked their path. They blocked the entire road completely!

“What’s going on?” Master Hairwood was stunned.

Then, a group of people alighted from the taxi and walked over angrily. Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Master Hairwood’s car.

When the female a.s.sistant saw this, her face instantly turned pale. “Master… there seems to be something wrong.”

Hairwood said, “Calm down, it’s fine. With those brains of theirs, I’ll deal with them.”

With that said, Hairwood rolled down the window and said, “Students, why are you stopping my car?”

Li Qing said coldly, “Master, where are you going?”

As an experienced liar, Hairwood maintained his confident smile and said, “Something happened at the branch in America. I’ll be rus.h.i.+ng over immediately to discuss it. I’m planning to fly to America. I’ll fly back tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Although everyone already believed that Master Hairwood was about to abscond,

Master Hairwood’s Future Sect covered the entire world. He often flew around the world, so the reason for flying to America at the last minute seemed believable.

Red Boy looked up and said, “Master, this Hairwood is smart.”

Fangzheng said with a faint smile, “No matter how cunning a fox is, it’s time to reveal its tail.”

“What do you mean?” Red Boy was stunned.

Fangzheng said, “Do you not read the news when playing with the cell phone?”

Red Boy scratched his head. “Should I read the news while playing with your phone?”

Fangzheng: “…”

At that moment, a taxi driver said, “That’s not right. The news just now said that all the flights to America have been canceled because of the weather. Could it be that you are flying over yourself?”

Upon hearing this, the calm Master Hairwood’s smile froze on his face.

Li Qing hurriedly took out her cell phone and checked the recent news. Indeed, there was one such announcement. Then, she said with a cold expression, “Master Hairwood, it looks like you won’t be able to leave. Shall we go in and have a seat?”

The others stepped forward one after another. Hairwood gulped his saliva.

At this moment, he really wanted to strangle that busybody taxi driver. However, he knew very well that if he didn’t go back now, these people would go crazy and kill him.

Hence, he tried his best to compose himself and smiled. “Alright, let’s go back.”

With that said, Master Hairwood alighted from the car. At this moment, the female a.s.sistant could no longer calm down. When she walked, her legs were trembling…

Upon seeing this, Li Qing and the others were filled with sorrow…

Back upstairs, in the cla.s.sroom.

There was no longer the usual harmonious atmosphere. It was extremely gloomy.

Hairwood was still sitting at the podium. The students sat below, but both sides were silent. They silently waited for the time to pa.s.s, waiting for the fateful appearance of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p!

“Students, Master is tired…” The female a.s.sistant wanted to find an excuse for Hairwood to leave.

Cheng Hao sneered. “We’re tired as well, but no one can leave this room before the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p arrives! It’ll be bad if we miss out on boarding the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Besides, we have plenty of time to rest on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. A day won’t make a difference.”

The female a.s.sistant said, “Master’s health has always been poor…”

Master Hairwood suddenly held his chest and took a deep breath. “I can’t take it… I need a doctor!”

Just as the female a.s.sistant was about to step forward, she heard Li Qing say coldly, “As long as he doesn’t die, that’s fine. I believe that the medical technology of the Pleiadians would definitely nurse Master back to health. Of course, if Master dies, there’s nothing we can do.”

When the female a.s.sistant heard this, she stopped in her tracks.

Hairwood, who was lying on the ground, felt powerless. He could pretend to be sick, but to play dead? That was too difficult!

In the end, Hairwood lay down for awhile and realized that no one cared about him, so he had no choice but to sit up again. The ground was a little cold after all… After lying down for so long, his old joints really couldn’t take it anymore.

Everyone sneered.

Seconds and minutes pa.s.sed as the night went on.

Hairwood really couldn’t take it anymore. He sat there dozing off, but when he closed his eyes, he saw a pair of handcuffs swinging in front of him. There were also bullets flying towards him, pa.s.sing through the ring in the middle of the handcuffs…

Then, Hairwood woke up from the shock.

That night, Hairwood kept oscillating between dream and reality endlessly…

The next day, Li Qing said, “Master, it’s about time. We can head to the landing area of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.”

Master Hairwood’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had once lied by pointing at a mountain range and saying that the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p would land there.

Now that he was going, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the path to death… At this moment, Hairwood was truly terrified.

Hairwood did not want to get up, but Chen Long and Cheng Hao held him up.

Li Qing forced the female a.s.sistant to fork out some money and hired two big buses to drive to the mountains.

When they arrived at the place, everyone got out of the car and stood in the ravine.

Hairwood looked up at the sky. He was still trying hard to support his lie. “It’s coming soon. Everyone be patient.”

Li Qing enunciated each word. “Then let’s wait patiently…”

However, every word she said was extremely cold and heavy. It was as if a knife was held at Master Hairwood’s neck, ready to slash at any moment.

Hairwood looked at the people around him, and the pairs of alert eyes. He closed his eyes in despair, awaiting for final judgment.

Far away on the mountaintop, Red Boy was eating a lollipop as he looked at Fangzheng. “Master, I think he will die a tragic death.”

Fangzheng also sucked on a lollipop as he nodded. “It will indeed be a tragic death.”

Red Boy asked, “Are you not going to care?”

“Of course? The police are already on their way.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the bad guy not die?” Red Boy exclaimed.

Fangzheng smiled. “Sometimes, living isn’t necessarily better than death. However, with his sins, he probably won’t live even if he wishes to.”

Red Boy said, “How sinful is it to run a cult?”

Fangzheng’s expression gradually turned solemn. “The sins he has on him aren’t as simple as deception. He cheated people of money, s.e.x, causing families to be destroyed. If he were overseas, he still has a chance of living. But in China, the death sentence is most suitable for a devil like him.”

As time pa.s.sed, the sky darkened. The sun set and the stars rose…
