The six billion beastmen watching got an up-close front-row view of the brutal strike.
[Where did Black Rick drag us just now?]
[It’s pitch black. I can’t bear to keep watching.]

[I think I just saw a ruby. How can such an ugly monster have such a beautiful beast crystal inside its body?]
Once the fight ended, a blood-red beast crystal the size of a child’s fist rested on Merrick’s sword blade.
Long eyelashes cast faint shadows over his eyes. His eyes blazed sharp and cold, piercing every viewer’s heart.
He twisted his sword around and stabbed Norris, who was barely clinging to life.
This blow nearly finished him off entirely.
He spun the metal blade in a quick flourish and tore the beast crystal right out of Norris’ chest.
The whole audience watched as two glowing red crystals landed in Merrick’s palm.
Merrick said, “This beast crystal is identical to that of a Phoenixkin beastman. That is because these creatures parasitize Phoenixkin bodies.”
The night wind lifted the loose hair at the nape of his neck. Merrick’s eyes shone bright as stars, making every viewer swallow hard.
He smiled, but his next line left countless people speechless.
Merrick said, “You all watched me dig these out with your own eyes. Surely you aren’t blind enough to miss the evidence.”
The viewers sat frozen, stunned.
This was rock-solid proof that the man he had killed was a parasite, not an innocent Phoenixkin.
Gillian tapped her terminal.
[POG!]

[Good heavens, Commander Cole is absolutely fearless. I always heard he robbed treasure, but now he steals my heart.]
[I need three copies of this man. One to discipline brats, one to kill pests, and one to keep me in line.]
Gillian snickered out loud.
She never expected him to become such a fan favorite.
Freya controlled the main signal transmitter, and a private message popped up on her screen right away.
The long block of text made her eyes ache just reading it.
The sender wrote, “This broadcast must end here. If you keep digging up secrets, both the Phoenixkin and Griffinkin clans will suffer massive losses. Shutting down the stream is the only win-win choice for both sides.
“If you refuse, we will expose Merrick’s darkest scandal and run him out of even Wasteland City.”
Freya scoffed. When Norris started this live stream to frame Merrick for murder, he had fully intended to wipe out the entire 9th Legion.
Now he dared to pretend that calling off the broadcast was a fair compromise.
Did they come up with that using their tiny little brains?
She took a screenshot and forwarded the message, then typed, “Gillian, Commander. They just sent us a direct threat. Should we keep the stream running?”
Merrick laughed bitterly. He typed back, “Keep broadcasting. I have nothing to hide.”
Gillian replied, “Keep going, of course we do. These crimson hides will never gain real power on the Outer Planet. They are just stalling until reinforcements arrive from Capital Planet.”
Merrick typed, “They can keep dreaming. I am going to strip these monsters of their beastman disguises once and for all.”

Travel between the two planets took many days. Even if the Department of Justice sent an urgent message via special comms equipment, there would be nearly a full day’s delay.
By the time their allies reacted, the whole matter would already be settled here.
Freya understood Merrick’s plan. He was ready to burn all bridges and lay out every last secret.
