"Hu Jianjun, 39 years old, a husband and also a father of two," Kang Jiayi mentioned the first one who did not come back from the portal. He felt the room temperature was dropped even more.
"Han Guiren, 35 years old, a husband and also a father. They did not return from the portal," the old man looked toward the man who sat with an expressionless look, "They are the soldiers who joined the empire."
"From my understanding, the sixth portal is a survival game, and the participants would be paired randomly. They are a pair as the others returned with their partner. So we don't know how they die."
Tang Shaoyang did not respond to the old man. He slammed the table hard once again before leaving the house. Kang Jiayi was about to follow Tang Shaoyang until he saw the table crumble into pieces.
'Oh my... my bone would be crushed if he hit me with his hand...' Kang Jiayi thought to himself before he snapped out of his thought, "What are you doing old man?" The old man slapped his forehead himself, "I should look for Kang Xue or Zhang Mengyao to calm him down before this turn bloody!"
Tang Shaoyang came out of the house, he scanned the group. It was half than the usual group, meaning not everyone was partying. It was a relief but it did not lessen his anger at these people.
He could hear them singing and clinking their glasses, drinking, and feasting even after knowing their comrades were dead inside the portal. He could not believe these people could do this.
"B*stards!!!" Tang Shaoyang yelled out furiously. The bustling party immediately stopped as everyone was looking toward him. Most of the people were confused as they did not know what happened which made their Boss angry.
"Who's initiating the party!?" He walked toward the crowd and scanned the people. No one dared to meet with his gaze, whether it was the women or the men. Everyone lowered their heads.
Tang Shaoyang stopped in front of a man. The man looked in his late twenties, older than him. But age did not matter for him, "Look at me!" He told the man to look at him.
He walked to the side road, "Line Up, all of you!" Tang Shaoyang shouted as he pointed to the left side, "Men!" Before pointing at the other side, "Women!" There were a few kids, "Let the kids leave!"
"Having fun, huh!?" Tang Shaoyang looked toward the men before he looked toward the women's line. He was relieved inwardly that none of his women were among them.
"Do you know, your comrade, Hu Jianjun and Han Guiren did not return from the portal? Do you know that two families are grieving because they lost their husband, the children lost their father? Do you know that?" He questioned all of them at once.
No one answered him as all of them lowered their heads. He was surprised to see this, meaning everyone knew that two people did not return from the sixth portal. Even after knowing this, they had the nerve to make a party, singing and dancing cheerfully while enjoying the food.
"Haha..." Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle, "This is unbelievable, I thought myself is cruel but you guys are crueler than me, I guess."
"I killed people without hesitation, yes, I will if they threaten my life. But look what you are doing now, dancing and singing while our two comrades died while fighting bravely inside the portal?"
At this time, Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue came with Kang Jiayi. The two girls had a clear understanding as to why those people were gathered like that.
Kang Xue shot a glance at his father, "Look, there's no beating here..." she had not finished her words as Zhang Mengyao interrupted her, "No, not yet but they will get their deserved beating."
"What do you mean?" Kang Xue asked. She saw that Tang Shaoyang was not that angry. She thought he would just reprimand these senseless fools.
"You will know soon," Zhang Mengyao shook her head.
"My hand is itchy," when Tang Shaoyang said that, the people's bodies in the line were shaking simultaneously, "Do you think I will just reprimand you? No! No! No!"
"I will reward my people if they are contributing to the empire. And if my people make mistakes, then they deserve punishment, no?" Tang Shaoyang licked his lips while scanning the group.
