Chris was definitely dead! That much was beyond doubt. From the moment it publicly challenged Zhang Beixing online, this outcome was inevitable!
If it had been in the past, Zhang Beixing certainly wouldn't have been so ruthless, so merciless. But then again, it was a Black Ghost—especially a Black Ghost that challenged the authority of Great Xia and behaved atrociously within its borders! Exceptional cases called for exceptional measures.Killing it, Zhang Beixing felt no psychological burden whatsoever. Instead, he was even a little disappointed, feeling that letting it die so easily was letting it off too cheaply. This kind of scum deserved to die a thousand times over and it still wouldn't be enough!
As for whether publicly killing a Black Ghost under such scrutiny would get him into trouble, the answer was a definite yes. But Zhang Beixing didn't care! He had already made thorough preparations for this very eventuality.
