Three Sins Against Heaven

Chapter 6 – Pledge



Dylan Chen initially intended to let Thomas Yang vent his anger by taking a few punches. However, when he heard Thomas curse his mother, rage surged through him. He quickly got up from the ground and threw a punch with all his might at Thomas's jaw, engaging in a brawl with him.

"Say that again?"

Thomas was stunned that Dylan dared to fight back. He dodged another punch from Dylan and kicked him, sending him flying.

"Screw you! I'll curse you all I want, what are you going to do about it?"

"Bastard, I'll kill you!" Dylan, like a madman, swung his fists wildly, showing a desperate determination to fight Thomas to the death.

Unfortunately, Dylan had never been much of a fighter, and Thomas was naturally stronger and more experienced in brawls. Dylan was quickly overpowered and pinned to the ground by Thomas.

Thomas straddled Dylan, raising his fist and pounding it down with all his strength, punch after punch, as if to vent all his pent-up anger and frustration from that night.

"That's for keeping an eye on me!

That's for being so sneaky!

William Li died because of you!"

Dylan blocked Thomas's punches with his arms and then sneered, "Do you really not know who caused his death? Aren't you afraid he'll come back as a vengeful ghost to claim your life?"

Thomas froze, his raised fist suspended in mid-air, as he recalled William's gruesome death. He glanced around fearfully.

"The Immortal said that those who die in private fights must be avenged. Go ahead, kill me. I'll trade my life for yours!" Dylan glared at Thomas with an unprecedented ferocity. "If you have the guts, don't sleep. The moment you close your eyes, I'll kill you!"

Thomas glanced at Little Tiger, who stood nearby with clenched fists, ready to charge at any moment. Then he looked at Dylan's fierce eyes and realized that Dylan's words were not mere threats.

If William were still alive, Thomas wouldn't have to worry. But William had died because he believed Thomas's words.

The relationship between Little Tiger and Dylan was well-known. No matter what Dylan said, Little Tiger would follow.

Living under the same roof, if Dylan really intended to kill him, Thomas wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

Thinking of this, Thomas forced a smile, his voice ingratiating.

"Come on, brother, don't be mad. I apologize. I was wrong. I take back what I said."

"Screw you!" Dylan cursed harshly, flipping over to pin Thomas down, and started punching him in the face with all his might. "You cursed my mother? Try saying it again!"

Thomas, remembering Dylan's earlier threat, didn't dare fight back and could only raise his arms to block the blows.@@novelbin@@

The roles reversed, and as hard as Thomas had hit Dylan before, Dylan now hit Thomas just as hard.

"Ouch, brother, take it easy. Don't be so angry!

Calm down, stop hitting me!

Ouch, it hurts!"

Thomas kept begging for mercy, but Dylan ignored him, punching him repeatedly in the face until Thomas's face was bruised and swollen. Finally, Dylan grabbed Thomas by the collar and said viciously, "If you curse my mother again, I'll kill you. Do you believe me?"

"I believe you, of course, I believe you. Let's talk this out." Thomas, sounding submissive, struggled to get up as Dylan moved off him. Forcing a smile on his pig-like swollen face, he said, "Brother, are you calm now? I was wrong, I apologize. Don't hold a grudge."

Dylan snorted coldly, not saying a word.

"I knew you were magnanimous, brother. Let's put this behind us." Thomas forced another smile, picked up his bedding, and turned to leave. "I'll sleep elsewhere tonight, so I won't be in your way."

Dylan watched Thomas leave, his chest heaving with residual anger.

"Dylan, you seemed so fierce today. You weren't like this before," Little Tiger said softly.

Dylan was taken aback, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yes, he wasn't like this before.

The old him would never have dared to confront Thomas so fiercely.

Perhaps it was because he had seen so much death recently and knew his life could be lost at any moment, making him no longer as cautious as before.

In this dark, hopeless place, even the most timid person would eventually be driven mad.

The weak couldn't survive here.

But what really enraged him was Thomas insulting his mother.

He could tolerate being bullied, but he would never accept anyone insulting his mother!

Dylan slammed the door shut, laid out the bedding on the bed, and pulled Little Tiger to lie down.

"It's nice to sleep on a bed again. Dylan, I was worried you really trusted him because you seemed to get along so well with him these days. I'm glad you don't," Little Tiger said with a simple smile.

Dylan was surprised. "You also think we shouldn't trust him?"

"Of course," Little Tiger nodded. "My mother always said, never trust someone who has bullied you once. He used to bully me a lot, so I don't trust him."

"Your mother is wise. I'll remember that. Thomas won't come back, so let's sleep," Dylan said gently.

He knew Thomas had backed down tonight because of his threats.

Thomas feared Dylan would kill him in his sleep, so he had no choice but to leave. He wouldn't be living with them anymore.

As for where Thomas would stay, that wasn't Dylan's concern.

Little Tiger, though puzzled about why Thomas wouldn't come back to sleep, didn't ask further questions. He quickly fell asleep, snoring softly.

Dylan looked at Little Tiger, who could fall asleep so easily, and smiled helplessly. He touched the copper coin on his wrist, his excitement gradually calming down.

Just a moment ago, he almost couldn't resist asking Little Tiger to help kill Thomas.

If it weren't for Brian Qin's warning that killing would be met with death, he would have killed Thomas.

He didn't want to fight Thomas to the death unless absolutely necessary, nor did he want to stain his and Little Tiger's hands with blood.

His original plan was to endure and then make a move, but he couldn't hold back when his mother was insulted.

But this was also good. With Thomas gone, he and Little Tiger could finally sleep peacefully.

Even though the matter was over, recalling William's gruesome death still made him uneasy.

If he hadn't pulled Little Tiger back at the crucial moment, they might have ended up like William, losing their heads.

At first, he didn't know what Thomas intended. When Thomas talked about escaping, he found it suspicious.

With the Immortals' abilities, they would be caught quickly. Even if they escaped the Demonic Extreme Sect, they had been flown far away by Dennis Li and didn't even know the way home. What was the point of escaping?

Such an obvious problem, he didn't believe Thomas hadn't thought of it.

It wasn't until William's death that he realized Thomas had planned to use their heads as a pledge to gain Brian Qin's trust.

But Dylan didn't fall for it, so Thomas had to sacrifice William.

Despite William's bullying, he was loyal to Thomas. Yet Thomas sold him out without hesitation.

Thomas was like a venomous snake, ready to bite anyone. No matter how friendly he appeared, Dylan would never trust him.

From the beginning, Dylan had been wary of Thomas, which allowed him to escape at the crucial moment.

But Brian Qin's timely appearance was too coincidental. William had just crossed the line when he was beheaded, making Dylan suspect Brian had been watching the whole time, unseen.

If that were the case, Brian must have heard their conversation. Dylan realized this and didn't report Thomas.

But if Brian knew everything, why did he pretend nothing happened?

Moreover, Brian specifically warned them against private fights when he left. Brian didn't care about their lives, so why was he so concerned today?

Dylan couldn't figure it out. He was exhausted and had no energy to think about it.

All he knew was that from tonight, he could sleep peacefully.
