Chapter 168: Killing Without Drawing Blood

"Don't, don't kill me!"

Terrified, he kept backing up, but the sea was behind him, leaving him nowhere to go!

"Relax, I won't kill you."

Howard, with a smile, looked at the man on the ground. Truth be told, he felt a slight fondness for this fellow.

Initially, Howard had wanted to shatter the girl's beliefs, make her see reality, and then kill her with one blow.

Unexpectedly, this man had acted first, striking the girl on the head with an axe.

This turned out to be quite serendipitous.

If Howard had directly killed the girl, this man, even in death, might still believe he was in the right, dying with hatred for Howard.

Such a death, for her, would have been a victory.

But to have her die at the hands of those she was protecting was the greatest irony!

To kill a person, you must first destroy their heart!
