Chapter 34: Target
The teleportation array beneath his feet activated, and when the spatial mist dissipated, Su Xiao had already returned to the guest room of the luxury cruise liner.
For some reason, Shen Su, who had always carried a defiant gaze, now looked somewhat dazed after accompanying Su Xiao and Kaisa on a supply run. It seemed his long-held goals had taken a heavy blow, leaving him in a state of existential doubt.
Perhaps feeling stifled, Shen Su tentatively asked, "Are Hunters and Arbiters always like this?"
"Of course not."
Baha, as Su Xiao's follower, answered with absolute certainty.
Hearing this, Shen Su visibly relaxed, but just as a smile began to bloom on his face, Baha added, "We're Hunters and Arbiters with particularly high reputation in Reincarnation Paradise."
"?"
Shen Su couldn't help but show a bewildered expression of a fool, asking incredulously, "You're Hunters and Arbiters with high reputation in Reincarnation Paradise?!"
"Heh~, you've never seen a Hunter use the emergency assistance privilege to bait Battle Angels, Guardians, or Executioners."
"Hunt... Hunters do that?! Aren't you hunters who obey the Paradise completely, without daring to have any other thoughts?"
Shen Su clearly had a misunderstanding about Hunters. Thinking about it, aside from Violators like Shenfu and the Platinum Apostle, ninety percent of Violators held this impression of Hunters. When the two sides met, they were mortal enemies, understanding more about each other's ability systems rather than their usual code of conduct.
"Hehehehe~"
Baha couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Shen Su with confusion, not understanding why this Violator thought Hunters were obedient and docile hunters. That was the perception of Battle Angels, not Hunters.
What was a Hunter? As long as they could complete their hunting missions without being forcibly executed by Reincarnation Paradise, they could act entirely on their own. However, over ninety percent of hunting missions had no penalties. Completing them increased corresponding authority and brought generous rewards. No Hunter would give up such gains.
Shen Su left with a heavy heart, seemingly regretting his choice to become a Violator. Su Xiao paid him no mind, instead checking the gains from this raid on the Dark God Cult's treasury. The total was as follows:
[You have obtained 128,600 ounces of World Force.]
[You have obtained Soul Crystal × 116.]
[You have obtained Origin Stone: Dark Erosion.]
[You have obtained Origin Stone: Soul Resonance.]
...
There were only four types of gains. It seemed Kaisa, when distributing the spoils, had allocated combat-enhancing materials like Soul Crystals and Origin Stones to Su Xiao, various odds and ends to Shen Su, and the strange and peculiar items to himself.
Even so, the categories of materials obtained this time were too few. Moreover, a full 128,000 ounces of World Force far exceeded the limits of material storage. To put it in a common analogy, would a billionaire with assets of one billion convert ninety percent of his wealth into rare materials and store them in his own home?
Su Xiao contacted Kaisa and obtained the total list of gains from this haul. He saw 285,778 ounces of World Force at the top, and the list had few item categories. Previous raids on other treasuries had tens of thousands of categories; this time, there were only a few dozen. Aside from Soul Crystals, Origin Stones, and other super hard currencies, the remaining materials were nearly depleted.
Clearly, the Dark God Cult was mass-selling materials to obtain Soul Coins, then using this universal currency to purchase World Force. Within the entire Dark God Cult, only the Archbishop of the Abyss had the authority to issue such an order.
Besides purchasing, the Dark God Cult could also plunder World Force from other worlds. It was likely that nearly half of this 280,000 World Force was plundered, and who knew how many seventh-rank and eighth-rank worlds had collapsed.
Collecting so much World Force was clearly for a major scheme. This made Su Xiao think of the long-planned plot by Shenfu, the Platinum Apostle, and the Archbishop of the Abyss. It was probably related to this.
World Force differed from Space-Time Power. The former was of a lower tier and had more limited uses, mostly for accelerating resource cultivation, restoring eroded areas, or matters related to World Children.
Accelerating resource cultivation took too long and didn't fit the Dark God Cult's style. Restoring eroded areas in their own world? Don't be ridiculous. The Dark God Cult was lucky not to be the culprit. So, it was more likely related to World Children.
The problem was, this was the Witch Realm. There wouldn't be a true World Child here, at most a Pseudo-World Child.
Su Xiao took out a map of the Wizard Continent. First, he ruled out the central area, the Moon Ring City region, as a possible location for a Pseudo-World Child. The situation there was stable. The triggers for a Pseudo-World Child to appear were chaos, war, disaster, and the like.
Su Xiao looked at the lower half of the map. Falling Star City was also ruled out; it was practically Moon Ring City's favored son. Further away, Ancient King City was also excluded. The nobles there indeed didn't listen much to the Wizard Faction, but that was a conflict of interest.
In the overall structure, if anyone dared to challenge the Wizard Faction there, the Ancient King City nobles would be the first to act. The nobles were greedy and craved power, but they weren't stupid. They would definitely cling to a powerful thigh like the Wizard Faction.
The nearby small fishing village, known for producing heroes and villains, was worth noting, but upon second thought, it was unlikely. Any of the ruthless characters from that village could easily crush a Pseudo-World Child.
The lower half of the map was also ruled out. Su Xiao looked at the upper half: Giant Armor City (Fortress City), Eternal Winter City: Longlu, and Sky City (one of the three main cities). Each of these was more significant than the last. It was almost certain that the Pseudo-World Child of this era would appear here.
Connecting this to the Winter King's fate being devoured by the Platinum Apostle, Su Xiao formed a rough outline of the scheme planned by those three old yinbis. He couldn't yet determine whether it was Sky City or Eternal Winter City.
As for stopping this plan, that was absolutely impossible. Stepping into this quagmire now would only leave him embarrassed and defeated. Su Xiao never had a habit of being arrogant. He certainly didn't think he could stop a plan that three old yinbis had been plotting for so long.
Compared to that, there was something more important at hand. The trio of Molei, Hao Mei, and Yueshitu, who had been mining near Silver Moon Port, had been robbed. Molei and Hao Mei were injured, while Yueshitu, who covered their retreat, was unharmed. What really upset them was that all the 「Moon Stones」 they had painstakingly mined were taken.
These were among the top-tier Immortal-grade ores. Each standard-sized piece cost 25,000 to 32,000 Soul Coins. There were 94 pieces in total. More importantly, rare Origin Stones, which were hard to acquire, could be exchanged directly for 「Moon Stones」 in Reincarnation Paradise at a ratio of about 1:5 (1 rare Origin Stone = 5 Moon Stones). The exact ratio depended on the specific rare Origin Stone.
Currently, to increase the enhancement level of Dragon-Slaying Flash, he could only rely on rare Origin Stones. Therefore, Su Xiao didn't plan to sell the Moon Stones he would get from this.
Furthermore, the Immortal-grade enhancement system was different from before. Taking Dragon-Slaying Flash as an example, it was currently at Enhancement +5. Under the old system, failing to reach Enhancement +6 would cause it to drop to Enhancement +4. Now, even if it failed, it would remain at Enhancement +5. The levels enhanced with rare Origin Stones were as solid as a rock.
While the risk of enhancement had significantly decreased, the success rate had become increasingly pathetic. He could only pile on rare Origin Stones one by one. The good news was that this should be the final stage of enhancement for Dragon-Slaying Flash.
Stealing Su Xiao's Moon Stones = hindering him from obtaining rare Origin Stones = Dragon-Slaying Flash unable to increase its enhancement level = limited combat power increase = possible death when facing a strong enemy = death.
Su Xiao had no enmity with this five-person team, yet these people wanted him dead. That was... too vicious.
Given the enemy's viciousness, Su Xiao took out a communicator and called the great noble of Ancient King City, Shiao. This guy had been faking his death for a while and must have achieved his goal.
As expected, the communication was quickly connected. The great noble Shiao's voice was full of vigor. Considering his far larger-than-normal physique, such a voice was normal.
"Bai Ye, what do you want?"
Because of their previous cooperation, Shiao's tone carried a hint of friendly laughter.
"Help me with two things."
Hearing this, Shiao laughed heartily a few times before saying, "Of course, no problem. I still owe you a favor."
"Help me find a few people..."
Su Xiao roughly described the characteristics of the five-person team.
"No problem. I'll have my men look into it shortly. What's the second thing?"
"Those three brothers under your command."
"Alright, I'll have them follow your orders for ten days."
"..."
Su Xiao ended the communication. After all, he was temporarily on the Wizard Faction's side, and so was Shiao. Although this guy paid lip service to Moon Ring City, he was well aware that the Wizard Faction couldn't fall. If the Wizard Faction declined, what awaited Ancient King City wasn't freedom or a chance to grow stronger, but a full-scale assault from the tribal camp in the southern Great Marsh Wetlands.
Shiao knew clearly that Su Xiao, as a Law Destroyer, had been invited to solve the Wizard Faction's problems. Understanding this, he was naturally willing to help wholeheartedly.
The horn of the giant ship sounded. Su Xiao checked the time. It was the middle of the night. The Winter King certainly wouldn't be resting at this hour, given his limited time. He pressed the communicator to contact the Winter King.
It took a while for the communication to connect. He could faintly hear noisy discussions and pleas for mercy on the other end. After another moment, the Winter King's weary voice came through.
"Bai Ye, we've both been set up."
"World Child?"
Hearing this, there was a long silence on the other end before a response came, followed by the question, "In your opinion, is there any way to salvage the situation?"
"No. Just wait to die."
Su Xiao wasn't being sarcastic; he was stating the facts.
"You... just accept defeat like that?"
The Winter King's voice carried a hint of displeasure.
"No. When I said wait to die, I meant your Ice Descendant royal family. I won't die. I've clashed with those three many times. We know each other well. Without thorough preparation, they won't rashly attempt to kill me."
Su Xiao's seemingly 'arrogant' statement made the Winter King fall silent again before he asked, "What are they afraid of?"
"It's not fear. They just don't dare."
Su Xiao's tone was calm. If Shenfu, the Platinum Apostle, and the Archbishop of the Abyss heard this, they wouldn't scoff but would strongly agree. In their view, the difficulty of 'killing Su Xiao without bearing the cost of Original Sin' far exceeded the difficulty of setting up this plan in the Witch Realm.
After this exchange, the Winter King's tone carried a hint of laughter. This was because he had once again become wary of Su Xiao.
At the beginning of the communication, Su Xiao could feel the Winter King's subtle threat. It was a sense that, 'I am about to die. If you don't want to be dragged down, you'll have to put in more effort when dealing with Shenfu, the Platinum Apostle, and the Archbishop of the Abyss.'
Faced with this dying old wolf king of the north, ninety-nine percent of collaborators would choose to give in. But Su Xiao directly pushed back. The reason was that he had the ability to destroy the entire 「Eternal Winter City: Longlu」. The endless insect swarm activated by his War Lord title was no joke.
Faced with Su Xiao's direct pushback, the Winter King was clearly surprised. After weighing the options, he decided not to antagonize Su Xiao and maintain a cooperative relationship based on interests.
Although the Winter King had generously given Su Xiao a 「Primordial Source Matter」 before, that was payment for Su Xiao helping him extend his life. As for personal friendship, Su Xiao's relationship with the Winter King was truly not as good as with the seemingly arrogant and treacherous great noble Shiao. Therefore, when asking the Winter King for help finding people this time, he couldn't be as direct as with Shiao. He had to exchange information.
"An old friend and I visited the Dark God Cult's headquarters treasury..."
"Cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough~"
The Winter King, who had been sipping a strong drink on the other end, coughed repeatedly. It wasn't that he lacked composure, but the act of raiding the Dark God Cult's headquarters treasury was truly shocking. Over the years, no one had ever plundered that treasury; it was always the Dark God Cult plundering others.
"We found a lot of World Force in that treasury."
"Oh? How much exactly?"
"280,000 ounces."
"Understood. Tell me about your matter."
"Find five people..."
Su Xiao described the appearance and aura characteristics of the five-person team, then ended the communication.
In the dim room, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. The person on the other end of the communicator was no longer the old wolf king of the north from a while ago. He had become extreme and short-sighted again. The Platinum Apostle's ability to devour fate was more troublesome than imagined.
This communication made Su Xiao clearer about the situation in the north. There were only two possibilities there: either they would become cannon fodder in the three old yinbis' plan, or one of the Winter King's sons would quickly ascend to the throne and turn the tide through personal ability.
Two of the Winter King's three sons had such ability. The problem was that to take this step, the first thing they needed to do was kill their father. The former old wolf king of the north had now become the culprit who would bring about the north's destruction.
Su Xiao looked at the full moon outside the window. He certainly wouldn't go looking for the five-person team himself. Instead, he would have the wizard family behind Serin, the noble system of Ancient King City, and the royalty of Eternal Winter City use their respective intelligence channels to find them. That way, as long as the five-person team hadn't gone out to sea or were in Sky City, they would have no escape.
Dong dong dong~
The window was tapped. A figure made of black mist stood outside. This black mist figure was about 50 centimeters tall and had a floating-type flight ability. It made a throwing motion, allowing an earring to pass through the glass undamaged. Su Xiao reached out and caught it, and a prompt appeared.
[You have obtained Alice's Beloved Earring (Right).]
After checking the earring's attributes, Su Xiao realized it belonged to Alice from Demon Castle. Speaking of which, he had a grudge with this woman. He had originally planned to kill her when the opportunity arose, but later, there was never a good chance. As his strength increased and his horizons broadened, he felt it wasn't worth wasting a world progression to seek revenge on just Alice.
From the dried blood on the earring, even if Alice wasn't dead, she had experienced a terrifying ordeal. The person who would send this at this time must be Sha.
Sha must have encountered Alice a long time ago and, knowing about her grudge with Su Xiao, had given her a proper 'greeting,' even killing her. However, Sha hadn't mentioned it before. In her view, such a matter wasn't worth mentioning.
Now, Sha sending this black mist figure with the earring wasn't to remind Su Xiao of old ties, but to express that she hadn't had her judgment eroded by Abyss Force and still had clear self-awareness.
This method of communication was incomprehensible to outsiders. Realizing that Sha still had such judgment, Su Xiao thought of one thing: Sky City was clearly richer than the Dark God Cult. So, could he cooperate with Sha to raid the treasury of Sky City's Top City? The items stored there were not only valuable but might also include ancient treasures.
Dong dong dong~
The door was knocked. Serin entered the room. It was clear she was a bit sleepy, which was inevitable. After obtaining the 「Library Badge」, she had been itching to use it and had spent her rest time in the Soul Library. If not for the important matters at hand, she would have wanted to stay in the Soul Library for a long time.
"Mr. Bai Ye, two good news. First, information on the Dark Blood."
Serin opened a file folder and summarized the known information using the illustrated intelligence inside. First, there were five portions of Dark Blood, representing: Mind, Will, Power, Strength, and Wisdom. The holders were as follows:
Black Hole: Azler (Dark Blood: Mind) - Already slain.
Sha (Dark Blood: Will).
Ancient King (Dark Blood: Power).
Strongest Defiler: Dark Prophet (Dark Blood: Wisdom).
Dark Eldest Son (Dark Blood: Strength).
...
Su Xiao had already obtained 「Dark Blood: Mind」. As for Sha's 「Dark Blood: Will」, she would naturally hand it over to Su Xiao after she finished 'fleecing' her targets. This meant Su Xiao would have to deal with the Ancient King, the Strongest Defiler: Dark Prophet, and the Dark Eldest Son.
Earlier, Su Xiao had wondered why the legendary Strongest Defiler: Dark Prophet was willing to help Black Hole: Azler. Now it seemed they were both holders of Dark Blood and were connected to the 「Star Observation Tower」 faction.
The family behind Serin was indeed strong in intelligence. Thinking about it, as one of the three strongest families in the Wizard Faction, such capability was normal. Moreover, this family had sharp foresight. When the Moon Witch: Seshirius hadn't yet taken power and was just beginning to rise, they had strongly supported her. If the next Moon Witch were Serin, this family would usher in its most glorious period.
Besides the news about Dark Blood, the second piece of intelligence from Serin's family was that the five-person team was located in a seven-star hotel in Giant Armor City.
Su Xiao's principle was that revenge, if possible, shouldn't be delayed. He laid out a 「Law-Destroying Teleportation Array」 on the carpet. After confirming that the spatial blockade of Sky City hadn't yet taken effect, he activated the array. This wasn't out of fear of being intercepted, but to avoid alerting the enemy.
Meanwhile, in Ancient King City, at a small restaurant in the backstreet.
The occasional clink of dishes was drowned out by the sounds of hearty chewing and swallowing. The three brothers from the small fishing village, all at the Absolute Strength rank, were feasting around a small table. They were anomalies among the Absolute Strength rank. Many at this level lacked rare resources, but being at Absolute Strength and still short of money was something only these three brothers could manage.
They had used too many resources with strong Abyss and Dark characteristics to enhance themselves, resulting in conceptual defects. The eldest had 'persecution delusion.' When it flared up, he had a constant headache and saw everything as extremely terrifying enemies. The second brother's 'conceptual defect' was poor eyesight, affecting both vision and perception. The third brother's was even more severe: his 'conceptual defect' was low intelligence, the kind of dull, blank-minded low intelligence.
These three brothers together were each a heavyweight. Moreover, they all had Absolute Strength combat power. It was simply absurd to the extreme.
As 'top-tier assassins,' the three brothers hadn't had a job in six months. If not for Lord Shiao's support, they might have been forced to rob small restaurants and bakeries.
Even though all three were at the early stage of Absolute Strength, it was too exaggerated for them to have fallen to such a state. Wasn't there anyone who wanted to use them? There were, many people.
Not to mention other ill-intentioned individuals, the Dark God Cult was powerful enough, right? After using the three brothers for a while, they politely asked them to leave. These three ate more than anyone else and worked very hard, but they often caused collateral damage. After they arrived, the mortality rate of the Dark God Cult's leaders skyrocketed from ten percent to ninety percent.
Finally, under the joint protest of many leaders and senior leaders, the three brothers' journey with the Dark God Cult ended. It was a sunny morning. When the third brother opened his confused eyes, he found the base was empty.
To put it bluntly, how could they fire them? How would they dare? These three were Absolute Strength rank, and they were the kind who didn't like to think and were ruthless and vicious. So, the Dark God Cult members at that base fled overnight as a group.
The three brothers were very sad. Among the many evil forces they had served, the Dark God Cult had the best food. They were very melancholy.
Friendly factions certainly wouldn't want them. Neutral factions didn't dare to want them. Evil factions had been mostly ruined by these three, who had become infamous in this circle. Moreover, the three brothers had a rule: unless they were starving, they must not rob ordinary people or the weak of their money or belongings. This was their code as top-tier assassins.
This rule made the three brothers very uncomfortable. In their understanding, even ninth-rank strength was considered weak. And to fight against another Absolute Strength rank for the price of a meal, even with their not-so-flexible thinking, they felt it wasn't worth it.
As for doing other work, the three brothers firmly believed they had inherited the ancient and serious code of assassins. How could a top-tier assassin have a side job? Absolutely impossible.
As for making money through assassination business, ever since the third brother backhanded an employer's head flying dozens of miles away, choosing to collect the payment directly and skip the assassination part, very few people came to them for assassination commissions.
Inside the small restaurant, the three brothers were dressed in black suits, black hats, and black shoes, looking quite intimidating. However, their eating manners didn't match their attire. The stuffed third brother burped, his eyes, each pointing in a different direction, making him look full of 'wisdom.'
The eldest brother said seriously, "Lord Shiao has arranged a job for us. We're to work for a Law Destroyer."
"Really, big brother!"
The second brother was a bit excited. They hadn't had a job in a long time.
"Mm, we absolutely can't mess up this time. Here are the target's photo and information. This person is a high-ranking official in Sky City. She'll appear at the Central Park in Sky City's Top City tomorrow at noon. We'll assassinate... assassinate her."
Saying this, the eldest brother held his forehead, feeling a throbbing headache. He slowly exhaled, stuffed the photo and information to the second brother, and instructed, "Second brother, make sure you get a good look at the target's appearance this time."
"Got it, big brother."
The second brother took the photo and brought it so close that it was only 0.5 centimeters from his face, carefully examining it. After a moment, he identified the target as female. After further scrutiny, he noticed the target had white hair. This led him to deduce that she was a female high-ranking official in Sky City. White hair indicated she was older, and she should have bodyguards. Summarizing these clues, the second brother felt it was foolproof. A smile gradually spread across his face. He picked up a chicken leg to reward himself, but when he took a bite, his expression twisted. It was a big piece of ginger.
...
Giant Armor City, District 9, 38th floor of a seven-star hotel, in a conference room. The five-person team was discussing. In fact, they weren't all from Death Paradise. The captain, Minglong, and the main tank, Baluomiu, were from Death Paradise. The melee specialist, Baiyinxing, was from Sanctuary Paradise. The summoner, Weijiniya, was from Apocalypse Paradise. The mentalist, Aimier, was from Holy Light Paradise.
"Everyone, I'm still worried about that Battle Angel's mention of the Hunter, Bai Ye. If..."
Before the mentalist Aimier could finish, the main tank Baluomiu interrupted in a rough voice, "Don't worry about that. If they had really encountered the Hunter Bai Ye, they would be dead by now."
"But they said they signed a contract with Bai Ye. Maybe..."
The mentalist Aimier was still a bit worried. Their team was all ninth-rank strength. If they had truly offended an Absolute Strength rank, they would be finished.
"Don't worry. There's no trace of that Hunter on their fate trajectories."
Baiyinxing spoke. Although he was a melee specialist, he also dabbled in the Fate system. As for his claim that there was no intersection between Molei's trio and Su Xiao on their fate lines, that wasn't true. They had cooperated several times. The fact was that Baiyinxing, a half-baked Fate user, couldn't yet peer into Su Xiao's fate.
After a brief discussion, the five divided the 94 「Moon Stones」. To be safe, they decided to stay here for two or three days to avoid being targeted by other strong enemies for these 「Moon Stones」. Even if they did nothing else, the 「Moon Stones」 they had obtained this time would make them a huge profit.
The group took the elevator to the 102nd floor. Captain Minglong opened the door to the guest room, and the others followed. The last one, the mentalist Aimier, closed the door.
Just as Captain Minglong turned a corner in the inner hall, his peripheral vision caught sight of a man holding a long knife standing against the wall beside him. At such close range, he hadn't sensed him at all.
Instead of asking who he was, Captain Minglong chose to act decisively. His eyes turned into vertical pupils, and then...
Bang!
Captain Minglong's head was embedded in the wall behind him. Only then did he open his mouth in terror. All he had received was a side swing of the knife's scabbard.
Blood splattered from the severed neck. The main tank Baluomiu's pupils contracted, and he immediately activated his tank-type domain ability.
Zheng!
A diagonal slash. Baluomiu felt his upper body lighten before being swallowed by endless darkness.
With a thud, half of Baluomiu's body hit the ground. Baiyinxing, who had leaped backward with all his might, was caught by the same slash that had killed Baluomiu, his throat cut open. A flood of damage prompts flashed before his eyes. At the bottom, a blood-red near-death warning caused his field of vision to shrink sharply. Over ninety percent of his strength vanished, and the blue electric arcs surging over his body paralyzed him completely.
Crackle~
The soul electrocution effect spread, paralyzing the nearby summoner Weijiniya and the mentalist Aimier. Weijiniya felt an unprecedented terror. She looked at the man in front of her, holding a long knife with a faint red gleam in the center of his eyes. At that moment, she truly experienced the power of an Absolute Strength Hunter from Reincarnation Paradise.
"Don't kill me. I can tell you where the Moon Stones are..."
Before Weijiniya could finish, she saw Su Xiao stop in front of the severely wounded Baiyinxing. His hand, clad in a black arm guard, grabbed Baiyinxing's head and pulled out a semi-transparent gelatinous substance from his body. The Hunter held it with both hands, forming it into a sphere. Then, with a pull of his hands, various soul memory images flashed out, finally stopping at a scene of the five hiding the 「Moon Stones」.
Seeing this, Weijiniya was stunned. The villainous boss vibe was too strong. Not only could he pull out souls, but he could also read soul memories.
Su Xiao now knew the hiding place of the 「Moon Stones」. These precious stones hadn't been certified by the Paradise yet, so they couldn't be stored in storage space. Otherwise, the five wouldn't have been able to steal them from Molei's trio.
Su Xiao flicked the blood off his blade and stepped towards Weijiniya, who was still paralyzed by the soul electrocution and kneeling on the ground. He noticed that the skill description for soul electrocution's control time was 0.2 to 3 seconds, but it had already paralyzed this Contractor for over ten seconds without showing signs of wearing off. It seemed the skill description applied to enemies of the same rank.
"Wait, I have a secret I can tell..."
Zheng~
The long knife slashed through Weijiniya's neck, leaving a trail of blood in the air. Her voice stopped abruptly.
Su Xiao looked at the mentalist Aimier and made a motion to slash horizontally at her neck. Aimier shouted:
"200,000 Soul Coins! Sign a contract!"
Zheng~!
The blade stopped just before Aimier's fair neck. She swallowed and added sincerely, "I can offer 200,000 Soul Coins. I can pay now."
