Chapter 57

"Sure enough, he's a thug, damn it! Soldiers, kill him quickly!"

"Protect the President!"

"Block the passage immediately, we can't let him escape!"

"Ah! My brother..."

Although everyone knew that Tang Cheng was a madman who dared to kill a military officer in front of countless people, no one thought he would kill in the highest military court. No one expected that Tang Cheng, who had surrendered himself three days ago and had been obedient in the dungeon, would do such an outrageous thing.

With this act of killing, the meeting room first fell into a shocking silence, then quickly descended into chaos. People were screaming, giving orders, and even the Supreme Commander Darius was momentarily stunned.

Among them, the fastest to react was the 1.6-meter-tall... uh, the captain of the Survey Corps Special Operations Squad, Levi, who was also known as the strongest human. Although he was only 1.6 meters tall, shorter than most girls, his strength was undoubtedly the No. 1 in the human camp.

As soon as Levi moved, his small and lean body was already lightning-fast behind Tang Cheng, grabbing his wrists... This was a grappling technique that wouldn't be fatal but would instantly incapacitate the target.

However, his speed was fast, but Tang Cheng's was even faster. At the moment his wrist was touched, Tang Cheng's arm vibrated, his fingers formed a claw, and he grabbed Levi's arm instead. Out of instinct, Levi had to change his move; his right hand, which was originally going to grab Tang Cheng's weapon, now pinched Tang Cheng's left shoulder.

But at the same time, the muzzle of Tang Cheng's Desert Rose was already pressed against Levi's head.

"I know what you're trying to do, but unfortunately, once I made my move, it was already decided that this matter can't be resolved by you. And I'm not like Eren, who would let you beat him up," Tang Cheng said with a smile.

Bang!

The next moment, a gunshot rang out, but it wasn't from Tang Cheng's Desert Rose; it was a soldier from the Military Police who shot at Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng, with his keen senses, was fully aware of his surroundings, even while facing the strongest man of the era, Levi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the time to talk to Levi.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Tang Cheng had already pulled his left arm free from Levi's grip, kicked him with great force to push him back, and used two fingers to catch the bullet that came from the side. Then, he flicked his finger, and the bullet shot back like a gust of wind.

"Ah!" The Military Police officer immediately clutched his mouth and screamed, his hand covered in blood and a few teeth.

Catching a bullet bare-handed was not a particularly advanced skill for Tang Cheng. Even before entering the cycle world, when he activated his supergod mode and adjusted his vision and neural reflexes, he could catch most rifle bullets. Of course, with the physical limitations of a normal human, his hands would still take some damage.

With the improvement of his physical abilities, he could use the supergod mode more skillfully. Although he might not be able to catch a Desert Rose, the firearms in this world were relatively primitive, so catching a few bullets was no problem.

As for the "finger flicking" technique, while it might not be practical for killing, with his current strength, he could easily knock out all of a person's teeth.

However, what was a simple task for Tang Cheng was a terrifying power to most people present. Some of the Military Police who were about to shoot were now hesitant, their hands trembling.

In fact, the Military Police were not supposed to be so weak. After all, those who joined the Military Police were the top ten graduates of each training class, and in terms of initial combat strength, they were undoubtedly the best among the three military corps. However, the Military Police, which ostensibly maintained human order, was actually a corrupt and decadent organization that oppressed and exploited the people. In such an environment, even those who initially had a sense of justice would gradually be assimilated.

Once they got used to this corrupt life, their attachment to life grew, and they became more afraid of death. They also stopped training, and maintaining their strength was already a challenge... For example, after five years, a Military Police officer might not even be able to beat a Garrison soldier from the same training class.

As for the Survey Corps, they were even further behind.

Those who truly dared to fight for humanity and face the Titans would not choose to become Military Police but would join the Survey Corps, even though the Survey Corps had a high death rate. But those who survived, no matter how weak they were initially, would eventually become strong.

Those who joined the Military Police, even if they started as gold, would eventually become trash.

Since they were just a pile of trash, Tang Cheng didn't take them seriously. The next moment, with a step, his figure flashed to Darius's side. The two Military Police officers protecting Darius didn't have time to react and were kicked away in an instant. Then, the muzzle of the Desert Rose was pointed at the head of the highest human commander.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Darius Zakrei was not a member of the royal family, but he was the man who commanded the three major human military branches, with a status and power second only to the king. If he wanted to, he had the strength to initiate a political revolution that could overthrow the human political system. Whether such a revolution would succeed or not, he was the only one who could do it.

When such a person had a gun pointed at his head, the reactions of others were predictable.

Of course, the people present were not familiar with the gun in Tang Cheng's hand. Many were wondering what it was, but the fact that Tang Cheng had used it to kill a merchant was enough to show its threat.

Only a few, like Erwin, Levi, and Pixis, as well as Darius himself, who was being held hostage, could remain calm.

"What do you want?" Darius looked at Tang Cheng and asked calmly.

"Indeed, the highest commander of humanity, to remain so calm in this situation is truly rare," Tang Cheng said with a smile. "Of course, my goal is not to assassinate you. I just want to say a few words..."

"Flattery!" Before Tang Cheng could finish, an angry voice shouted, "You murderer, how dare you..."

Bang!

Tang Cheng fired a shot, and the person's head exploded.

"You..."

Bang!

"Ah..."

Bang!

It wasn't until the fourth person's body fell that the meeting room finally became completely quiet. Tang Cheng repositioned the gun at Darius's head, his gaze sweeping over the room, and he smiled warmly, "Is there anyone else who wants to speak?"

No one dared to respond.

"Very good," Tang Cheng nodded. "I like obedient people. I don't like being interrupted when I'm about to do something or speak. Since you're all so obedient, I think I can speak now."

Most people instinctively swallowed, their eyes trembling.

"First, I have to admit that I'm a madman. I think you've already realized that. Such crazy actions can only be done by a madman, right?" Tang Cheng said with a smile, then pointed, "That... what's your name? The commander of the Military Police, right? Come here, I want to talk to you."

"You... what do you want?" Nial Deker's face changed when Tang Cheng called his name.

"Don't worry, I'm a reasonable person and won't kill people easily. As long as you behave, even if you curse me to my face, I won't touch you. So... are you obedient?"

A reasonable person? Won't kill people easily?

No one in the room agreed with these statements, not even those who had a good impression of Tang Cheng, like Eren and Mikasa, who thought he was lying. As for Nial Deker... the more friendly Tang Cheng acted, the more terrifying it was for him.

Of course, as the head of the Military Police, even if he was terrified, he couldn't back down. He had to gather his courage and step forward.

"Very good," Tang Cheng patted his shoulder, looking very pleased. "I remember you said you wanted to dissect Eren, right? That's a good idea, I support you. So... go ahead, this great task is yours."

As he spoke, Tang Cheng casually took out a dagger and handed it to him.

This dagger was not the Frost Blade but a common military dagger, costing only 5 survival points. Tang Cheng had exchanged it mainly for backup, like for peeling apples.

Although Tang Cheng's backpack hadn't been upgraded and only had eight slots, it could still hold quite a lot of things. The capacity of the backpack was not based on the number of items but on survival points. The higher the survival points of an item, the more space it took up. For example, his Frost Blade and Desert Rose each took up one slot, but food, drinks, and other daily necessities, when combined, only took up one slot.

Leaving that aside, when Nial Deker received the dagger, his expression became incredibly complex. Although he had proposed dissecting Eren, he didn't have the courage to do it himself, especially since everyone could see that Tang Cheng and Eren were on the same side. Dissecting Eren was no different from suicide!

"What? Afraid?" Tang Cheng asked, then grabbed his hand and pressed the dagger against his own chest. "Then dissect me. You said you wanted to dissect me, right? Go ahead, I won't dodge or resist. My heart is right here. Just stab it and cut around to take it out. It's simple, go ahead."

Tang Cheng poked the dagger into his chest a few times, and when he let go, Nial Deker was so scared that he was sweating and his hands were trembling.

Tang Cheng sneered, raised his hand, and slapped him, sending him flying. "You're afraid of this and afraid of that. Since you can't do anything, just go hide in the pigsty. The world outside isn't as simple as you think, you're a waste!"

Please recommend, collect, and like!

I just realized that the Desert Eagle is a banned term, so I had to change it to Desert Rose.
