Chapter 3: Assistant
In a scenic park, Molei, Yueshitu, Hao Mei, and Su Xiao sat on a bench. Among them, Su Xiao had the calmest expression.
Hao Mei's gaze was hesitant, as if considering something. Yueshitu, who had been exhausted from running, simply leaned back more comfortably, looking like she had given up entirely.
Molei, on the other hand, seemed eager to try, looking like she might at any moment push things to the limit and shout, "One-on-one!"
"To be honest, the three of us have made significant progress in strength recently. I advise you not to be ungrateful and try to swindle more than 300,000 Soul Coins from us."
No matter how you interpreted Molei's words, they were a bit confusing. Calling it tough talk obviously wasn't right, and calling it cowardly didn't fit either, since she directly threw out a harsh line like "don't be ungrateful." All that could be said was, that's Molei for you.
"In your impression, am I the kind of person who would extort Soul Coins from you?"
As soon as Su Xiao said this, Hao Mei almost blurted out, "Aren't you?"
"... ..."
After being stared at by Su Xiao for a few seconds, Hao Mei turned her head away and stopped meeting his gaze. It wasn't that she was backing down; she was avoiding harm.
"Let's skip these unnecessary steps. Come on, one-on-one, the three of us against you. If I don't fight you and just let you take my Soul Coins, I'll have a bad feeling in my heart, and it'll hinder my strength improvement."
Molei stood up, walked to three meters in front of Su Xiao, facing him with her back to the setting sun. Her short pink hair, illuminated by the sunset, had slightly whitish tips. This made one wonder if her positioning was deliberately showing off her newly styled gradient hair, with the one-on-one and bad feeling being secondary.
"Um~, isn't that unnecessary?"
Yueshitu firmly opposed the one-on-one. The reason was that every time they had a three-against-one fight, Molei and Hao Mei would recover after a while, but she would be in pain for several days.
"I heard from a friend that there's a rare crystalline substance called 'Moonstone' in the Witch Realm."
"Of course there is, it's one of the top-grade ores."
Molei became interested. After sitting back down, she took out a picture book, opened the first page, and showed it to Su Xiao. On it was an illustration of 'Moonstone.' The ore was semi-transparent overall, with scattered starlight dots inside, and the center had a moon-like energy aggregation color, looking magnificent.
Molei looked at the 'Moonstone' illustration with hopeful eyes, but soon her gaze dimmed a bit. She said, "It's a pity. The Witch Realm is firmly controlled by the Wizard faction. Without a mining vein permit, if a contractor mines here and gets caught, the consequences are severe."
"Wait here."
Su Xiao stood up and walked toward the direction of the Witch Guild. He already had a premonition that a large sum of Soul Coins was beckoning him.
On the park bench, Yueshitu, who had rested enough, looked hesitant and said, "Maybe we should sneak away."
Yueshitu said this because she was afraid Molei would suddenly get stubborn again and want to fight Su Xiao one-on-one. Every time they fought, Yueshitu was the most injured. With her small build, she was always the fastest to run away, but before she could get far, she would be knocked flat by the shockwaves from the battle behind her. After that, she wouldn't know what happened. When she woke up, she would only feel pain all over, while her two friends, who had clearly been beaten badly, had already mostly recovered.
"Don't panic, I promise I won't fight him one-on-one."
Hearing Molei's guarantee, Yueshitu breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but complain, "You get beaten every time, so why are you still so reckless?"
"I will never admit defeat to Bai Ye in spirit, unless he hurts me too much. But even then, I only admit defeat for a little while."
"Alright, you win."
"Gulp gulp gulp~, Ah~"
Hao Mei, who had already entered her female-drinking-swordsman mode, let out a comfortable breath. After spending a sum of Soul Coins, her depleted Elemental Brew was replenished.
When Su Xiao returned to the park, the sky was dyed blood-red by the setting sun. Molei asked with some expectation, "Did you really get the mining vein permit?"
"... ..."
Su Xiao took out a parchment document. When he opened it, it was indeed the highest authority mining vein permit from the Witch faction. Although the time limit was only one month, it covered all types of minerals. Of course, this was a personal mining permit, meaning that excessively powerful mining equipment could not be used, and the number of hired personnel could not exceed 100.
"Bai Ye, name your price."
"Free."
"!!"
Hearing the word 'free,' Molei, Yueshitu, and Hao Mei almost shivered simultaneously. They had suffered from Su Xiao's 'free' offers before, and the memories were still fresh.
"100,000 Soul Coins, plus one-tenth of the minerals obtained this time."
"Half."
"Impossible, at most three-tenths."
"Deal."
"Ah... no, I spoke too fast. It's two-tenths."
"... ..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Sitting next to Molei, he placed one hand on her shoulder, preparing for physical persuasion. This made Molei smile confidently and say, "As expected, we still need to fight to determine the final distribution of benefits. Hao Mei, Yueshitu, let's..."
Just as Molei said this, Hao Mei and Yueshitu simultaneously stood up and moved a seat away. Seeing this, Molei immediately said:
"Fine, three-tenths, deal."
Of course, Molei wasn't afraid of getting beaten in a spar with Su Xiao, but she was afraid of being the only one getting beaten. That was hard to accept.
"By the way, Bai Ye, what are you doing in the Witch Realm this time? Can you disclose it?"
"Dark God Cult."
There was no need to keep this secret. Su Xiao would start hunting after dark, and besides, he and the Dark God Cult were already mortal enemies.
"We're here to catch a violator. She committed a major crime."
Saying this, Molei's gaze turned serious.
"Did you accept a mission from Dawn Paradise?"
As a Battle Angel who had reached the Ninth Rank, Molei naturally knew some information about Dawn Paradise.
"How could it be something that terrifying? She used to be a violator but later reformed. However, in the process, she changed her mind again and ran away. We need to catch her and bring her back."
"... ..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Compared to the violators in Reincarnation Paradise, this was practically a walk in the park. Thinking about the violators on his side—Sfenke, Feishi, Huishenshi, Platinum Apostle—the more he thought about it, the more his head ached.
Actually, this was also why Battle Angels couldn't beat Hunters. The enemies they encountered in the early and mid-stages were quite different.
After obtaining the mining vein permit, the Apocalypse Sisters quickly left. Before leaving, they took a communicator. In the past, Su Xiao wouldn't care if the Apocalypse Sisters encountered danger in a mission world, but this time was different. This involved three-tenths... ahem, it involved deep friendship.
Su Xiao tossed a Soul Coin in his hand. This time, coming to the Witch Realm, he had naturally contacted Kaisa. Kaisa's attitude was exceptionally firm: no matter what, he would definitely come. He had already conceived over a hundred plans for conspiring to rob the Dark God Cult's treasury.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang, on the bench beside him, barked, reminding Su Xiao that someone was approaching, and they had some strength.
A few seconds later, a figure wearing a witch's hat and a purple-black robe walked over. The newcomer had bright eyes, white teeth, excellent temperament, and impeccable looks. However, correspondingly, the arrogance in her words and actions was hard to hide.
"Are you Mr. White Night? I am the assistant sent by Lady Serhilice. From now on, if you have any questions about the Witch Realm, you can ask me. I will fully cooperate with your cleanup tonight. My name is Felice, and I am honored to have been granted the title of Dark Star Witch."
The Dark Star Witch, who called herself Felice, slightly bowed to Su Xiao in greeting, then sat on the bench, one seat away from him.
The so-called Dark Star Witch was not a title but a rank of wizard. The wizard power system had clear levels. The lowest level was 'Apprentice,' and wizards at this level were all in academies or under the guidance of a mentor.
Above that were First to Ninth Rank wizards, corresponding to the most mainstream power system classification. Above Ninth Rank wizards, upon reaching Absolute Strength, they could be called Dark Star Wizards. Further up were Star Wizards.
At the Star Wizard level, it wasn't directly related to strength. The Wizard faction could have at most three Star Wizards. Two of them would each manage a main city of the Wizard faction, while the last Star Wizard had to stay in Moon Ring City to assist the Moon Wizard.
The entire Wizard faction had only one Moon Wizard, who was the leader of the faction and held the greatest authority. However, given the vast system of the Wizard faction, the Moon Wizard couldn't act arbitrarily. The Transcendent Primordial World: Witch Realm was too large. Just the area of Moon Ring City alone was larger than the entire territory of a prosperous empire in an ordinary world.
This situation meant that the Moon Wizard couldn't hold absolute power. Not to mention the Witch Realm, even in the war-torn Wind Sea Continent, the old Beast King of the Beast Clan didn't have absolute power. He also needed the support of several major families and over a hundred lords to control the situation.
The Dark Star Witch, Felice, was a newly promoted Absolute Strength powerhouse. Calling her a new-generation genius was not an exaggeration. The Witch Realm had abundant resources and relative stability, so the number of strong individuals was naturally high. However, the quality of their strength was questionable.
Su Xiao and Felice were both at the Absolute Strength level. Within at most one minute, if Su Xiao couldn't kill Felice on the spot, he wouldn't be worthy of being called a Triple Technique Grandmaster. Her physical strength was simply not enough. Her attack power had reached the Absolute Strength level, but her physical survivability was only slightly better than the Ninth Rank. She was a typical example of someone pushed to Absolute Strength with a massive amount of resources. Only the wizard families of this world could be so wealthy.
Since she was currently a friendly target, Su Xiao could use his Mark Authority to check a small amount of her information. He quickly obtained her surname: Ero. Then, through the team channel, he had Bubu Wang look up this surname.
The Witch Realm was not a technologically backward world. After Bubu Wang infiltrated part of Moon Ring City's database, information about the Ero family was revealed.
This family rose to prominence over 300 years ago. At that time, the Wizard faction decided to re-establish the 'Hunter Agency' to deal with the increasingly rampant Dark God Cult. The current head of the Ero family was appointed as the highest person in charge of this 'Hunter Agency.' Unfortunately, the 'Hunter Agency' was only active for a little over a hundred years before being forced to disband due to the high probability of internal members 'turning evil.'
In the highly competitive Wizard faction, opportunities for rising were scarce. The Ero family had always been nostalgic about this former glory. Now that the Dark God Cult was rampant again, the Ero family was obviously trying to take the opportunity to propose re-establishing the 'Hunter Agency.'
Half a year ago, the proposal to re-establish the 'Hunter Agency' was submitted by the Ero family to the Wizard faction but was not approved. Among the four major forces of the Wizard faction, the Witch Guild and the Ancient King City opposed the proposal, the Star Research Society agreed, and Sky City remained neutral.
Given the scale of the Ero family's influence, the fact that their proposal could even get a vote from the four major forces was surprising. However, upon closer inspection of the data, it was found that the Ero family's backing was the Star Research Society. The current head of the Ero family was a loyal supporter of the society's president. Thus, the proposal regarding the 'Hunter Agency' was not surprising.
The high-ranking officials of the Wizard faction were well aware of the open and secret struggles between the Witch Guild and the Star Research Society. The Dark Star Witch, Felice, who had come to find Su Xiao, was a representative figure of the younger generation of the Ero family.
Su Xiao being invited this time to deal with the Dark God Cult effectively took away the Ero family's opportunity. If he really cleaned up the Dark God Cult in this world, the Ero family could forget about the 'Hunter Agency' proposal in the future.
Would a Dark Star Witch from the Ero family, backed by the Star Research Society, be sent by the leader of the Witch Guild, Moon Witch Serhilice, to assist a Law Destroyer in dealing with the Dark God Cult?
This wasn't just a question of whether she would cause trouble. If the opportunity arose, and the Dark Star Witch Felice didn't secretly stab Su Xiao in the back, it would only mean that this Dark Star Witch was far too kind.
Su Xiao recalled what Moon Witch Serhilice had said earlier. She had mentioned that there might be some 'minor issues' later. Now it seemed this 'minor trouble' was waiting for him here.
If she were truly an assistant sent by Moon Witch Serhilice, their meeting place wouldn't be here but in the Moon Witch's office earlier.
"Mr. White Night, what should we do next?"
The Dark Star Witch Felice spoke with a smile in her eyes, appearing to follow Su Xiao's arrangements completely. In reality, her task was clear: as long as she made Su Xiao's subsequent plans go smoothly, she would consider it a success. As for whether she would be killed by this Law Destroyer for hindering him, this was the Wizard faction's territory. Even if there was a conflict, directly attacking would certainly be the worst choice.
"The Moon Witch mentioned you earlier and praised your personal abilities highly."
"That is my honor."
Although the Dark Star Witch Felice said this, she was inwardly hesitant. She didn't think the Moon Witch would praise her. What she really cared about was how the other party could have foreseen her appearance.
The Dark Star Witch Felice raised a finger to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and asked, "What do we do next?"
"... ..."
Su Xiao stood up and walked toward the bus train station. After boarding, he began to rest with his eyes closed. Once the train entered the underground tunnel, it quickly exceeded supersonic speed. This was a very convenient mode of transportation within Moon Ring City. As for teleportation stations, they were too expensive, costing 150 Soul Coins per use. Riding the bus train all night wouldn't even cost 1 Soul Coin.
Su Xiao seemed to be familiarizing himself with Moon Ring City. He took the bus train to various districts. After briefly stopping in over 60 districts, at 11 PM, he arrived at District 109, located in the outer area of the main city.
Sitting on a bench by the street, Su Xiao held the day's newspaper. Beside him, the Dark Star Witch Felice sat elegantly, maintaining a faint smile.
"Mr. White Night, do you have any instructions?"
The Dark Star Witch Felice spoke politely. Hearing this, Su Xiao took out some small change and said, "Go to that shop across the street and buy me a cup of strong tea."
"Huh?"
The Dark Star Witch Felice was stunned for a moment. She was just being polite; she didn't expect this Law Destroyer to actually order her around.
"Wait a moment."
The Dark Star Witch Felice walked toward the drink shop across the street. After a while, she came back with a paper cup of strong tea. She stopped in front of Su Xiao and said, "Your tea."
Baha, on Su Xiao's shoulder, asked, "How was the investigation?"
"What?"
Seeing the Dark Star Witch Felice's confused expression, Baha explained, "That drink shop is suspected to be a secret stronghold of the Dark God Cult. My boss had you pretend to buy a drink to investigate. How did your investigation go?"
"This..."
The Dark Star Witch Felice's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. She was barely holding it together. In a relatively polite tone, she said, "Next time you want me to investigate, could you inform me in advance?"
"Ah, our mistake. Get another cup of strong tea and investigate."
Baha handed over the small change.
"Haah~, fine."
The Dark Star Witch Felice struggled to maintain her smile, turned around, and walked into the drink shop across the street. After a moment, a commotion erupted inside. The shop's outer door slammed shut with a clatter, and the sounds of fighting could be heard from within.
The fight inside was extremely intense. Across the street, Su Xiao was drinking the local specialty fragrant tea and reading the newspaper. Beside him, Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha sat in a row, eating grilled skewers.
This was an outer district of Moon Ring City, a remote pedestrian street with few people. The sounds of fighting from the closed shop didn't attract outsiders. Both sides were deliberately trying to limit the scope of the battle.
With a clatter, the shop door opened. The Dark Star Witch Felice walked out, her fair hands stained with blood. Drops of blood dripped from her long, manicured nails. She wiped her hands clean, threw the handkerchief into a trash can, and looked across the street.
Clap, clap, clap, clap~
Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha applauded together. The Dark Star Witch Felice's eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "Mr. White Night, when fighting as partners, it's not right for you and your subordinates not to help."
Hearing this, Baha knew it was time for him to step in. When it came to messing with people's minds, he was a Grandmaster. He said, "You're right. This was indeed our oversight. We won't let it happen again, we won't let it happen again."
The first half of Baha's words sounded pleasant, but then he changed his tone and said, "It's mainly because the Dark God Cult members in this secret stronghold were all Ninth-Rank-level small-time leaders. We really didn't expect that Ms. Felice, as an early-stage Absolute Strength witch, would struggle so much against these few small-time leaders. It was inconsiderate of us..."
The Dark Star Witch Felice couldn't listen anymore and said, "This is Moon Ring City. How could I use Absolute Strength methods?"
"Ah? If you don't use Absolute Strength methods, you struggle that much against a few Ninth-Rank small-time leaders?"
Baha looked shocked.
"I..."
The Dark Star Witch Felice wanted to say that in that indoor terrain, she couldn't use overly powerful methods, so it naturally took some effort.
"Oh~, I understand. Ms. Felice must have deliberately..."
"Don't talk to me."
The Dark Star Witch Felice was clearly a bit broken. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. Her mission in her heart changed from making Su Xiao's plan fail and killing this sharp-tongued demon hawk to simply making Su Xiao's plan fail. Damn this feathered beast!
Of course, if Su Xiao died, the Dark Star Witch Felice would also be happy to see it. This would be a severe slap in the face to the Witch Guild. Conversely, if Su Xiao really cleaned up the Dark God Cult in this world, it would undoubtedly prove that the Ero family, which had once managed the 'Hunter Agency,' was incompetent.
To avoid family disgrace and, more importantly, to protect family interests, the Dark Star Witch Felice would certainly be happy to see Su Xiao die in this world. If the opportunity arose, she wouldn't mind stabbing Su Xiao in the back.
Su Xiao walked to the drink shop, pulled open the outer door, and entered the messy interior. He raised one hand, and Cyan Steel Shadow Energy gathered into a crystal core shape, beginning to semi-crystallize. He threw it to the ground. With a crack, a one-time 'Law-Destroying Teleportation Array' appeared. This teleportation array could only be used once and couldn't perform ultra-long-distance teleportation, but it was sufficient for the current situation.
Today, Su Xiao had been wandering around Moon Ring City, having Baha set up highly concealed spatial coordinates near over 60 Dark God Cult secret strongholds in various districts. Then, through teleportation, they could quickly reach these strongholds and clear them all within an hour.
The 'Law-Destroying Teleportation Array' was half-activated. Su Xiao stepped onto it, followed by Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha. This simplified 'Law-Destroying Teleportation Array' only had 80% of the power of the full version, and the three of them could already withstand it.
After the Dark Star Witch Felice stepped onto the teleportation array, it activated.
"Wait...!"
The Dark Star Witch Felice's eyes widened slightly.
Boom!
When the spatial teleportation ended, the Dark Star Witch Felice felt dizzy. She was about to lean against a wall to rest for a moment when she saw Amu already in front of a metal door. With a loud bang, he kicked the door open. Su Xiao drew his longsword and walked inside.
The Dark Star Witch Felice took a deep breath for over ten seconds, gritted her teeth, and charged into the back door of the three-story building. As soon as she entered the dim building, she saw a Dark God Cult member sitting against a dirty wall, both hands clutching his spurting throat, struggling meaninglessly like a fish out of water.
Continuing forward, she reached a dark corridor. Opposite her, a half-open armored door was covered in bloodstains. Broken bones had been blasted into the over-ten-centimeter-thick armored door, leaving it full of holes. It felt as if an enemy had been shattered by some attack and evenly distributed across the door, with the broken bones acting like shotgun pellets, blasting through the door panel.
Several Dark God Cult members were hanging in the corridor by semi-transparent energy threads, lifeless. The Dark Star Witch Felice walked forward on the blood-slicked, greasy floor. The sight of the fully opened armored door made her breath catch. She had seen brutal battle scenes before, but this scene still made her pause for a moment.
A Dark God Cult leader was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. His neck and head were pierced by several crystal spikes. He trembled and pleaded, "I don't know... I really don't know where the two lords are."
Zheng~!
The longsword swept through. Su Xiao turned and left the room. He pushed open a storeroom door and formed a one-time 'Law-Destroying Teleportation Array' on the ground.
"Let's go. There are still dozens of dense strongholds to clear."
Baha spoke. Hearing this, the Dark Star Witch Felice reluctantly stepped onto the teleportation array.
Boom!
The teleportation array activated.
The Dark God Cult's secret strongholds in Moon Ring City were actually quite hidden. Unfortunately, they had encountered Su Xiao, who possessed 'Hunting Vision.' As the owner of 'Hunting Vision,' his followers, Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, could also use this ability to a certain extent. Amu had a locking derivative, Bubu Wang had a scent derivative, and Baha had an aerial view derivative.
Baha observed from above with 'Hunting Vision.' Any area emitting black particles had a 90% or higher probability of being a Dark God Cult secret stronghold.
With Su Xiao's current strength, dealing with the defenders in these Dark God Cult secret strongholds was a complete massacre. There was also good news: he found that every time he cleared a Dark God Cult secret stronghold in Moon Ring City, he gained 100 points of reputation with the Witch faction.
Judging by the amount of reputation gained, the Witch faction's reputation value was quite valuable. However, there was one point: the Wizard faction had four faction stores: the Night Temptation Witch Guild, the Star Research Society, Sky City, and the Ancient King City.
Su Xiao couldn't activate the reputation store of the Night Temptation Witch Guild. This was a specific condition set by Moon Witch Serhilice when she submitted the mission notarization to the Void Tree. It seemed that this Moon Witch had heard about the incidents where Su Xiao and Kaisa had teamed up to empty faction treasuries.
As for why the reputation stores of the Star Research Society, Sky City, and the Ancient King City weren't included, these three factions often caused trouble for the Moon Witch. The Moon Witch was practically telling Su Xiao outright not to be polite with them.
At this moment, in District 150 of Moon Ring City, on a narrow street shrouded in night, Su Xiao looked at the stained alloy door opposite and said, "This is the last secret stronghold of the Dark God Cult in Moon Ring City. It's very dangerous. You don't need to go in."
If Su Xiao hadn't said this, the Dark Star Witch Felice would have had a 30% chance of choosing not to enter. But since he said it, given Felice's suspicious nature, she had a 90% chance of going in.
Moreover, this was the last secret stronghold. As long as Felice entered, regardless of whether she killed anyone, she would have participated in the entire process. Afterwards, the Star Research Society could attribute the credit for clearing all Dark God Cult secret strongholds in Moon Ring City to her.
The somewhat pale-faced Dark Star Witch Felice took a deep breath. She hadn't actually fought while clearing these 60-plus strongholds, but the 60-plus teleportations had nearly cost her half her life.
Looking at the open door ahead, the Dark Star Witch Felice stepped inside. In the dim environment, the smell of blood hit her. When she reached the innermost room, Felice stopped. After the large slash marks dissipated, a fatal sense of danger rushed toward her. Her pupils rapidly contracted, and she turned to flee.
Almost simultaneously, the barrier devices that had been pre-attached to the building's exterior walls activated. A powerful barrier completely enveloped the building. Clearing the Dark God Cult's secret strongholds naturally required preventing them from fighting desperately.
A devastatingly powerful twisted Abyss energy was detonated, violently filling the entire building. The external barrier creaked and groaned. Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha were blasted out of the alternate space. Amu had half his body eroded by the twisted Abyss energy. Fortunately, Bubu Wang and Baha quickly took out injection guns and administered a suppressant to Amu, who soon recovered.
Inside the building, a Dark God Cult leader, driven to despair by a single slash from Su Xiao, activated a 'Twisted Abyss Energy Object' on the spot, causing it to explode.
When the darkness, dense enough to devour all light, dissipated within the building, Su Xiao, with black smoke wafting from his body, stood up from a crouching position. The crystal layer on his body gradually fell off.
Not far away, the Dark Star Witch Felice, whose body had been riddled with holes by the intense twisted Abyss energy, struggled to raise her broken arm to gather elemental power to heal herself. Just a few seconds ago, while Su Xiao had slashed and killed the Dark God Cult leader, he had 'accidentally' also slashed and destroyed the dozens of defensive barriers Felice had constructed.
Faced with this assistant's malice, Su Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite and would eliminate this hidden danger as quickly as possible.
As a traditional system witch, Felice's physique was much stronger than a Ninth-Rank peak, but it was unremarkable among Absolute Strength powerhouses. Moreover, her promotion to Absolute Strength was achieved by consuming a large amount of rare resources. Of course, this was also related to Felice's own talent.
"You..."
The Dark Star Witch Felice, her body broken and severely eroded by darkness, spoke. Her eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, as well as a fear she could barely hide. Her life was rapidly fading.
Su Xiao didn't pay attention. Instead, he picked up the weapon of the Dark God Cult leader, confirmed it was non-toxic and had no other dangerous properties, then wiped the blade across his own chest. He then sat against the wall, black mist wafting from his body, looking seriously injured.
After witnessing all this, the Dark Star Witch Felice became even more unwilling. However, her vision gradually darkened, and she ultimately died from the severe erosion of the twisted Abyss energy.
Soon, the Wizard faction's people arrived. After sensing the aura of Moon Witch Serhilice, Su Xiao controlled his heartbeat, making it slower and slower, until he eventually 'fell unconscious' there.
A few hours later, in the early morning, when Su Xiao 'awoke,' he was lying in a ward of the treatment center directly under the Witch Guild. The white gauze curtains were gently swayed by the morning breeze. In reality, he had never been unconscious. Being in Moon Ring City, he naturally wouldn't let himself fall completely unconscious.
"Lord White Night, you're awake."
A sweet female voice came from beside him. A witch around 20 years old was all smiles. This was the assistant sent by the Witch Guild to assist Su Xiao, named Alanna.
Don't be fooled by Alanna's sweet and obedient appearance. This witch was actually quite scheming. But at this moment, her obedience was definitely not an act. The first thing she faced after becoming Su Xiao's assistant was handling the remains of her predecessor, the Dark Star Witch Felice. After seeing how miserably her predecessor had died, Alanna immediately resolved to be a diligent and responsible assistant.
Compared to the new assistant, Su Xiao was more concerned about one thing: how to deal with the speed violator. At this moment, the violator was a few kilometers away, using tracking red dots and speed movement to form a series of taunting words. It could be said that this speed violator had reached a height few could achieve on the path of seeking death.
