Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 496

Chapter 496 Reborn from the Ashes: Act II - The Death of Olivia

Jack was terrified, really, as a kid who was barely fourteen and knew only stories and books about the war, he was terrified by what he saw.

Hideous demons howled and roared in front of him, Jack looked around for anything that could be called a weapon, but he couldn't find anything, bricks couldn't kill those demons.

"Jack." Aunt Olivia called to herself, but Jack didn't react at all. He fell into a trance amidst the sound of gunshots and hacking.

Seeing that shouting was useless, Olivia grabbed Jack's shoulder and slapped him on the head to make him react. Jack looked at his aunt's face with a panicked and bewildered expression.

"Aunt, this, we should"

"Jack, listen, whatever happens afterward, stay calm, think about what we taught you, and remember your duties as governor."

"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Jack didn't understand, and he also noticed that Olivia had an extra necklace around her neck today, with a gem on it.

"Remember your identity, don't be afraid, for Victoria, you must be brave."

"What?" Jack asked in surprise, still didn't understand, but Olivia stood up with a smile, she rubbed Jack's head, and then looked at Wen Ya Naer again.

She smiled, "Take care of him for me."

Gunshots sounded, and before the words landed, a beam of light pierced Olivia's chest, and she fell forward to the ground.

Jack was stunned for a moment looking at the fallen aunt, his mind went blank, as if he had turned into a tree, and then he saw Stern holding a pistol.

The latter looked panicked and looked towards Anthony, but the latter stepped back a few steps and pointed at Stern's arm, "Traitor! He's a heretic!"

"No, no! Wait, me!" Stern begged hurriedly, but it was too late.

Jack, with a blank mind, suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He lay down on the ground, pulled out Olivia's gun, aimed at the guy and pulled the trigger mercilessly.

The laser shot through Sten's head, and he collapsed to the ground with his voice choked in his throat. Jack held up the gun, looked at him, and then looked at Tierfan, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Wen Yanar rushed up, she came to Olivia with her blood-stained skirt to check her injuries, and Jack also rushed up, he looked at his aunt with tears in his eyes.

While he was crying, he heard gunshots from behind him, and Vito who saw Olivia fell to the ground rushed over, and he knelt down on one knee and took Olivia in his arms.

She was lying in his arms, looking at the man in front of her with blurred eyes, she smiled with blood on her face, touched Vito's face with her blood-stained hand, then slipped her arm and closed her eyes.

"Auntie!" Jack shouted in despair, with tears on his face, and he also noticed the instant anger on Vito's face, and several cultists behind him who were about to attack him by taking this opportunity exploded instantly.

Vito looked at Olivia's face with cold anger. He gently smoothed the blood-stained hair on her forehead with his hands, and then pulled out the gemstone pendant on her chest.

Jack looked at Vito, he put Olivia flat on the ground and slowly got up, he stared at Anthony in the distance with his eyes, Jack noticed the flash of fear on his face.

But Vito didn't say anything, he turned around and clenched the sword in his hand, and said in a cold tone, "Kill them all."

The people behind Jack panicked for a moment, especially Tierfan, who was relieved when he noticed that what Astartes and Vito slaughtered were demons and cultists.

But they were still scared enough, they were trembling all over, Jack looked at the pale faces of many of them, and some of them turned their backs, scraping something on their arms, even if the blood flowed horizontally, it would bring Continue with a terrified expression.

But Jack didn't care so much now, he knelt on the ground, looked at the aunt on the ground in front of him, he looked at her calm face, blood stained her clothes, and left a blood hole in the chest.

Jack couldn't remember what happened after that. He forgot when the demons were wiped out and all the cultists died on the spot. He also forgot how he got out.

He stood in a daze at the door of the church, staring blankly at Olivia's body being carried on a stretcher. Her body was covered with Wen Ya Naer's wedding dress, like a corpse wrapped in white cloth.

Several Mechanician priests he didn't know carried the aunt's body onto the Arc'teryx transport plane. Doctors in white coats appeared on it. They were talking in low voices, but Jack couldn't hear them.

He stood blankly in front of the blood-stained church, most of his trousers were also stained red when he came out of the church, and Wen Ya Naer, who was also covered in blood, stood beside him, comforting him.

But Jack didn't listen to what his fiancee said at all. His ears seemed to be ringing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

Vito came to him, he raised his head, and looked at him with red eyes.

"Olivia, what did you say to you in the end?" he asked.

"Like a real governor."

Vito was silent for a long time, he looked down at Jack, and he spoke after a long time.

"Then let her wish," he said, "don't let her down."

"Your Excellency the Marshal."

While Vito was talking with Jack, Bell leaned in from the side. The legs of the leader of the Ultramarines were covered in blood, and the gun seemed to be painted with a layer of blood red paint.

"We have received news that a chaos rebellion broke out in the eastern part of the planet." Bell said holding the data plate, "Your Excellency Anthony provided a reliable location, and I believe the culprit of this shameful attack is there."

Jack noticed that Vito didn't answer Bell, he just raised his head coldly and looked at Anthony. The latter tried his best to put on a nonchalant expression, but Jack could see that he was very scared.

Vito looked at him with cold eyes full of murderous intent, but in the end he did nothing. He stared at Tirvan and the others, who were terrified under the gaze of the marshal.

"Remember, child." Vito said to himself suddenly, "No matter what happens, face them bravely, hold on, and defeat them."

Jack was indifferent for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a while, and he gradually began to understand.

Vito also nodded to him, and then handed the gem in his hand to a war group priest, and then strode away, Bell and Lancelot led the company to follow him.

Jack and Wen Ya Naer looked at the Thunderhawk that took off.

"Governor Jack."

He looked behind him, Anthony was calling himself, he had a heated argument with Tiervan and a few others, and then tried his best to reprimand them, and then looked at himself.

"Now the situation is chaotic, we must hold an emergency meeting." He said.

"As the new governor, you need to chair this meeting."

"Yes."

Jack looked at him and said, then exchanged glances with Wen Ya Naer, he understood.

"In the name of the Emperor, I will."

"I will defend my duty." He swore inwardly, to his aunt and to the marshal.

At this moment, this fourteen-year-old child is as tall as the golden statue of the emperor.
