"I killed those guys because they were utterly despicable."
"Everyone has been awful lately."
"Enough to drive anyone crazy."
"This isn't the reason I wanted," Murray looked at Arthur and continued to question him.
"Okay, that's it, you're crazy."
"So you're using this as an excuse for killing three young people?"
【"no."】
Arthur denied it again, his tone flippant, as if he were telling a joke.
"They lost their lives because they were tone-deaf."
[Arthur laughs smugly. My God! That's another absolutely brilliant joke.]
"Ugh..."
[The audience booed again. Arthur was speechless, then instantly looked up at the ceiling and rolled his eyes.]
These idiots!
Chapter 140 Evil will be punished!
Why is everyone so sad for those guys?
Hearing the continued boos, Arthur shouted angrily.
"If I were to die on the street..."
"You'll just step over me."
"I pass by you every day, but you don't notice me."
"But these people, why, just because of Thomas Wayne!"
"Did they go on TV to cry and plead for them?"
Arthur spoke while gesturing wildly to vent his frustration.
Thomas Wayne?!
Murray instinctively swallowed hard upon hearing that name; that was Gotham City's richest man!
This guy! He's so outspoken!
"You also have a problem with Thomas Wayne?"
【"Yes."】
Upon hearing Arthur's admission, Murray knew that this had to stop immediately!
This is too big of a problem; I can't handle it anymore!
However, Arthur had no intention of letting him go. He slumped in his chair, glaring at Murray with eyes full of hatred!
His eyes were moist, as if hatred was mixed with sorrow! He spoke hysterically.
"Have you ever seen the real world outside, Murray?"
"Are you really going to leave this studio?"
[“Everyone was yelling at each other; not a single person was polite anymore!”]
"Nobody considers how the other person feels."
"Do you think someone like Thomas Wayne has ever considered the feelings of someone like me?"
[“Have they considered how people other than them feel? They don’t.”]
They thought we would just sit and passively accept it!
"Like a good boy."
"We thought we wouldn't turn into werewolves and become wild."
Arthur became increasingly frantic! He gestured wildly! He broke down emotionally!
He loudly denounced the injustice of the world!
He wanted to express the hardships faced by ordinary people! He wanted to awaken the hearts of more people struggling in life!
They... are capable of resisting!
They can transform into werewolves and devour the flesh and blood of those who plunder and exploit them!
They can gnaw on their bones and crush them!
"I understand! Behind Arthur's repeated suicidal attempts lies the true metaphor of the bitterness and tears of the underprivileged struggling with no hope in sight, the self-destruction of the little people!" Xia Ling, in the world of Soul Street.
"It is self-destruction, and it is also self-redemption." Nasita, from the world of Genshin Impact.
"Every hateful person has a pitiful side." - Zhang Chulan from Under One Person World.
"Arthur is now on the verge of a mental breakdown!" Seven Worlds of Me, Shen Yizhen.
"What truly drove him to despair was the bottomless pit of human nature!" First Sequence World, Luo Lan.
"Sigh~ There's no solution to this problem!" - Liao Duoduo, The Heart Hunter World.
"No! Perhaps I can change all of this." — Tony Stark, Marvel Universe.
"Mr. Stark, thank you! Thank you!" (Marvel universe, passerby.)
"Are you finished speaking?"
Murray interrupted Arthur's excitement; in his eyes now, Arthur was nothing more than a self-righteous, arrogant loser who refused to accept reality.
"So much self-pity, Arthur."
"You sound like you're making excuses for killing those young people."
"I'm telling you, not everyone."
"Not everyone is hateful."
Seeing Murray's hypocritical accusations, Arthur gritted his teeth and spoke each word fiercely.
"You're awful, Murray."
Murray remained completely unfazed, even seeming to want to laugh.
This is the first time he's met Arthur, but in Arthur's eyes, he already seems awful. How ridiculous!
"Me? Am I awful?"
"Really? How am I so awful?"
Arthur stared intently into Murray's eyes, but detected only a trace of pretense and panic.
[Don't you even feel a little bit of remorse for insulting yourself?!]
"Because you broadcast my video and invited me to this show."
"You're just making fun of me."
"You're just like everyone else."
Murray was speechless. Just because of this? So many people would love to speak for themselves, but they're too lazy to even lift a finger. Stepping onto this stage is the highest honor for everyone else!
[But what did he hear? Because of jokes? So he's dissatisfied? Dude, if it weren't for that, why don't you use your knees to think about it? What right do you have to be on this stage?]
"You don't know me at all, buddy."
Murray was speechless. It seemed there was nothing more to dig out of Arthur.
"Look at what your actions caused and what consequences they led to."
"A riot is breaking out outside, and the lives of two police officers are in danger."
Arthur laughed. Only those who are mentioned are remembered; the dead are erased even from memory, not just how they died.
Everything was filled with deception and lies; everyone greedily wanted to tear flesh from others and devour it.
Murray was still criticizing Arthur.
"But you're laughing, you're laughing."
Arthur's grin widened, and his body seemed to tremble slightly with excitement.
"Your actions today have resulted in a person's death."
[Upon hearing the final words, Arthur even laughed out loud, gleefully admitting everything.]
【"I know."】
"How about another joke, Murray?"
"No, I think we've had enough of your jokes."
Murray decisively rejected Arthur, having already achieved his goals: an exclusive interview, media attention, Arthur's outrageous remarks, and a positive public image for himself.
Now, all we need to do is capture Arthur, and it will all be over.
However, Arthur ignored him and continued talking to himself.
"When you piss someone off..."
"I don't want to hear it."
[Morry tried to interrupt Arthur, but Arthur ignored him, his expression contorted with rage!]
"...abandoned by society and treated like trash."
"A lone traveler suffering from mental illness!"
"What will happen to them?!"
Arthur's emotions completely erupted! He roared furiously! His eyes were brimming with hatred as he stared intently at Murray!
"Call the police, Gene, call the police!"
Murray completely ignored what Arthur was saying, and he no longer even looked at Arthur. Trash with no use for him should be disposed of quickly.
"Let me tell you what will happen!"
"You've got what you deserve!"
【then.】
Arthur suddenly drew his gun!
[It was aimed squarely at Murray's forehead!]
Without hesitation, pull the trigger!
【"Snapped!"】
The bullet pierced Murray's forehead instantly!
Chapter 141 Arthur got arrested! This was just a joke, though~
"Awesome!!" Kayalge shouted with exhilaration as the healer restarted his life world! Watching Arthur's breakdown and cathartic outburst, he really wanted to enter the sky and shoot for him!
"It was satisfying, but why did Arthur have to shoot in front of so many people, even on a live stream? He wouldn't have been able to escape now." - Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.
"Hooray, this must be Arthur's final revenge." —Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes, from the world of Sherlock Holmes.
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Konosuba, God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!
"Thomas Wayne is running for mayor, and Arthur's killing of Murray will likely escalate the city's clown riots to another level!" — Heiji Hattori, Detective Conan World.
"For public figures like Murray and Wayne, even if Arthur is prepared but unprepared, it's almost impossible for him to exact revenge on them in a short time." —Hakuba Saguru, Detective Conan World.
"Arthur carried out his revenge against Murray, while the other clowns carried out their revenge against Wayne. By killing two birds with one stone, Arthur accomplished his entire plan." —Detective Conan world, Rei Furuya.
"Huh? How can Arthur be so sure that the other clowns will attack Wayne?" This hero is clearly incredibly strong, yet he is overly cautious. World, Ristarte.
"There's no need to be certain. Arthur's goal is to completely ignite a riot throughout the city, leaving Thomas Wayne with a huge problem." Genshin Impact, Elheisen.
The bullet pierced Murray's forehead in an instant!
