Chapter 15: The True Plan

Chapter 15: The True Plan

Within the deep underground hidden sanctuary beneath the Lord's Mansion in Muyu City.
This location had been surrounded by the insect nest, serving as a second layer of insurance. As Su Xiao stepped out of the metal lift that bore a somewhat insectoid style, sensing his arrival, the dark silver door panels liquefied and opened outward.
The hidden sanctuary contained quite a few things. Besides the alchemy workbench and various mixing instruments, a Skill Upgrade Pod occupied most of the area. Su Xiao walked inside, and as the pod door closed, relevant prompts appeared.

[Detected that your current area is not an internal Paradise environment. Activating Paradise facilities in this environment will consume Space-Time Power at a "massively" increased rate, costing 216 ounces of Space-Time Power per hour.]

Su Xiao chose to pay and adjusted his state. This time, upgrading Azure Shadow King wouldn't allow him to drift into slumber. In his exclusive Skill Upgrade Pod back in Paradise, it didn't matter—he could sleep as long as he wanted without consuming Space-Time Power. But now, with this Skill Upgrade Pod, simply entering it meant it was activated by default, meaning an hour of unconsciousness would cost 216 ounces of Space-Time Power.

Leveling up Azure Shadow King one step at a time was too slow; he might not even exhaust the 80 Law-Destroying Skill Points within 24 hours. So, it was time to showcase the resistance he had accumulated from mastering various Law-Destruction System abilities for so long. He chose to continuously upgrade Azure Shadow King by 26 levels.

With a hum, the Skill Upgrade Pod began operating, and Su Xiao was successfully sent into slumber.

Knock, knock, knock～
A tapping sound came through. Su Xiao sat up from inside the Skill Upgrade Pod and glanced at the prompt log. He had paid a total of 864 ounces of Space-Time Power. Ignoring the lingering stinging sensation throughout his body, he stepped out of the pod. Bubu Wang was waiting at the door, following Su Xiao's instructions to have Little Bu Number ram the Skill Upgrade Pod hard every hour.

Overall, this Space-Time Power expenditure was worth it. After this world progress ended, he could sell this Skill Upgrade Pod, which he had already obtained certification rights for, to Reincarnation Paradise for 5,000 ounces of Space-Time Power.

Returning to the fourth-floor terrace of the mansion, Fenny was indeed there, reclining in a lounge chair while sensing nature. This was her method of improving her "Grant Passive." The "Grant System Buff" was indeed powerful, but its improvement conditions were harsh, only achievable through self-cultivation or Soul Stones.

"I like the scenery of this city. It has a sense of renewed vitality after decay. Bai Ye, you..."
Fenny's words cut off abruptly. She sat up in surprise and rapidly fired off three questions.
"Bai Ye, were you ambushed with these injuries? Where's the assassin? Will they come for me?"
"..."
"You absolutely have to protect me! Now that we're in the battle zone, you won't find another healer of my strength level whose interests are completely tied to yours."
Fenny was genuinely panicked. As a life winner—only 21 years old yet already an Absolute Strong Rank healer—she just needed to survive this, and every day afterward would be happy. She wasn't a combat type; she never had to risk her life. Wasn't that why she chose the healing profession in the first place? Otherwise, how could she have developed this career, which had mediocre combat power but enhanced others, to this level?
"..."
Su Xiao leaned back in the lounge chair and let out a comfortable sigh, though his whole body still ached faintly.
"Don't just stay silent. Damn it, this assassin is so strong that even my Eternal Rank perception equipment didn't react. It's over, it's over!"
Despite panicking and fighting imaginary foes, Fenny immediately began treating Su Xiao. Fenny's pseudo-deep recovery was excellent, and the stinging sensations throughout Su Xiao's body gradually faded.
"I just upgraded my professional inheritance ability."
"Huh?"
Fenny's innocent big eyes seemed to say: 'I've been gaining strange knowledge lately. Don't try to fool me—I'm not that easy to trick anymore.'
"..."
Su Xiao never had the habit of explaining. With his body feeling comfortable after treatment, coupled with the afternoon's slaughter of the Troll Legion, and now in this quiet, cool summer night with occasional insect chirps and frog calls, it was perfect for a short nap.
"Your injuries... are they really from upgrading your professional inheritance ability? It feels like you got hit by a star."
"..."
"Your Law-Destruction Faction must have very few members."
"..."
"I actually really enjoy chatting. It seems like after I advanced to Ninth Rank, I became 'aloof.' After all, some people call me a top-tier Battle Angel. But now I realize, the Star Realm is so vast, boundless. How did you monsters in this tier reach such strength?"
"..."
"Indeed, it's more comfortable to live as my original self. Compared to you monsters, our Absolute Strong level doesn't seem so impressive. Why keep up the facade? You might not believe it, but since advancing to Absolute Strong, these past few days have been the happiest for me, even though I nearly had a heart attack from tension a few times."
"..."
"I find that confiding in you seems pretty good. But... are you asleep? It's very rude to fall asleep while I'm baring my soul."
"..."
"Huh? Really asleep? Bai Ye is a dog."
A moment later, Fenny, with a bruised eye socket, sniffled. The cool night breeze made her drowsy as she lay back in the lounge chair. But in her half-asleep state, she seemed to see two sisters in ornate Gothic dresses approaching. Their dresses were adorned with a bit of gold, making her even sleepier. The elder sister had a black cloth strip over her eyes, while the younger sister's eyes lacked any pupil light. Wherever they passed, everything fell into deep slumber.

At this moment, in the back district of Muyu City, inside an old two-story building, the Female Leader Xina, Little Giant Modo, One-Eyed Snake, and the Dwarf Mechanic were all present. The Blind Twin sisters sat hand in hand on the sofa, leaning back with black cloths over their faces, embroidered with golden ring patterns.
"Have the twins infiltrated?"
Female Leader Xina spoke. One-Eyed Snake nodded. Seeing this, Xina picked up her gun holster, strapped it to her waist, and stood up: "I'll take a few laps outside to make sure no rats get close and harm the twins. It's up to you here, Modo."
"Ugh."
Little Giant Modo responded, clearly having some speech impairment.
Xina nodded to One-Eyed Snake and the Dwarf Mechanic before heading out. The reason for deciding to act now wasn't just because of witnessing the expressions of Chief Executive Officer Gilbers and the others earlier, but also due to the new Lord's subsequent terrifying slaughter—a brutality unmatched by any previous Lord.

Walking through the alley, the coolness of the early night at past eight o'clock prompted Xina to take out a cigarette. After exiting the alley, she lit it.
"Phew～"
Xina tilted her head back slightly, exhaling smoke. She could feel that her body wouldn't hold up for many more years. The excessively violent body energy was gradually eroding her Primordial Life Force. Even so, she hadn't given up. She felt she would surely wait for a Lord willing to protect Muyu City to arrive.

The faint musty smell of the back street mixed with tobacco—this was Xina's most familiar scent. But suddenly, she caught a whiff of meat aroma that made her salivate.
Following the source of the smell, she found it coming from the tailor's house. Thinking of this tailor's abysmal skills, her alcoholic husband, and her seriously ill son, Xina's eyes twitched. In a family as miserable as this in Muyu City, the meat aroma wafting out—what was being stewed? It was something one didn't want to guess.
Thinking of the mischievous, innocent little brat from yesterday, she quickly stepped forward, her hand unconsciously moving to the grip of the large revolver at her waist. If hunger had driven this family mad, that was a matter for the city guards. But the problem was, sometimes Abyssal Spawn would appear, possessing innocent people and doing horrifying things.

Knock, knock, knock.
Xina tapped on the window. Due to Muyu City's year-round rain, the windows were designed to flip upward. After a moment, an elderly cough sounded, the coarse linen curtain was pulled aside, and the window flipped up.
"Oh, it's Xina. Have you eaten?"
The tailor's smile was very kind, not forced. This made Xina relax. She smiled, placed one hand on her hip, and asked, "I've eaten. What? Did your drunkard husband dare to go hunting outside the city today?"
Hearing this, the tailor looked puzzled: "Hunting? What hunting?"
"Then what meat are you stewing? My nose isn't so dull that I can't smell meat."
At Xina's words, the tailor grew even more confused and countered, "Didn't you go to the guard station this afternoon to collect the resident welfare? They said it was meant to last five days, but there's enough meat for several months, plus a water ration. They said once the pipeline renovations are done, every household will have clean running water. For now, we have to fetch water from the guard station ourselves, with a limit of two buckets per person per day."
Hearing this, Xina was stunned. Her first reaction was disbelief, because Muyu City had never had anything like this before.
"Our district's stingy Executive Officer Georg would give you food? What big favor did your family do for him?"
"Not him—it's for all residents in the district. People are still lining up for welfare over there. By the way, didn't you get the message from the city guards this afternoon?"
Hearing this, Xina said nothing. She didn't think that the officer who had tried to assault her neighbor's daughter and whom she had hung up and kicked until he nearly lost his 'little friend' would notify her about district welfare.
Xina sighed, "It seems I don't know our district's Executive Officer Georg well enough. I didn't expect him to do something like this."
"It wasn't the Executive Officer. It was the new Lord. This afternoon, several Executive Officers died. They said they had embezzled the resident welfare the Lord gave us. They deserved to die, but they were all beheaded."
At this, the usually gentle and timid tailor couldn't help but show righteous indignation. She didn't notice that after hearing her words, Xina was frozen in place.
"I also heard that after learning Muyu City gets cold during rainy weather, the Lord is going to renovate the steam hub. You know, tonight, the steam pipes occasionally rumble. I thought the main pipes in our slum area had rusted through long ago."
Though the tailor had opened up, the meat aroma from the pot kept her gossipy spirit from fully igniting. She had forgotten when she last had stewed meat. Just as she was about to invite Xina to join her for this late dinner—delayed by queuing for welfare—she found Xina had vanished, leaving only a half-smoked cigarette still smoldering on the ground.

...
The door to Xina's second-floor home burst open with a bang. Little Giant Modo, One-Eyed Snake, and the Dwarf Mechanic all looked shocked. Ignoring their reactions, Xina strode forward. Though anxious, she gently lifted the black cloth from the twins' faces and patted their cheeks, trying to wake them. Unfortunately, it had no effect.
"Find a way to wake the twins."
Xina's eyes were bloodshot. She had just rushed at top speed to the steam hub in the underground area of the city center. Seeing the completely renovated hub, ready to run at full power when the rainy cold came, she knew the tailor hadn't lied. Moreover, repairing this nearly defunct steam hub would require exorbitant costs without incredibly advanced technology. If it was just a show to win hearts, there was no need to go this far.
One-Eyed Snake said gravely, "Xina, stop dreaming. At this stage, the twins should have succeeded. You can say goodbye to the new brutal Lord."
Hearing this, Xina staggered back a step. She pressed a hand to her temple, feeling as if she were about to split apart from pain. She muttered, "Our brains have been corroded by violent body energy. We act without thorough investigation, trusting our own judgments. Too stupid—stupid enough that I want to shoot myself in the head now, since it's not thinking clearly anyway."
This muttering left the others baffled.
"Ah!!"
Xina roared in fury, swinging her arm sideways and smashing it into a nearby pillar, breaking it nearly in half.
Just then, the elder of the twin sisters sat up straight on the sofa. Her movements were strange, as if controlled by an invisible giant entity behind her. She tore off her blindfold, her eyes now a demonic black-blue.
The elder twin suddenly grabbed her sister's throat. Xina was startled, then uttered the smartest words of her life: "The twins failed. Thank goodness."
Hearing this, the elder twin, like a puppet on strings, didn't immediately snap her sister's neck. Instead, she turned her head to look at Xina.
Seeing this, Xina exhaled and said firmly, "I'm their leader. I ordered the assassination on you. I will pay the price now, immediately. Spare them."
Having assassinated eight minor Lords and witnessed all kinds of their ugliness, Xina decided to gamble. She didn't have many years left. This Lord, who had just arrived and built a steam hub, was worth the bet. She wasn't naive enough to think an apology could make up for an assassination attempt—that was a life-taking act that required blood debt.
With the gun muzzle pressed under her chin, Xina muttered a crude backstreet curse and pulled the trigger. Bang! The gold-element bullet grazed her cheek, blasting debris from the upper half of the small building. One-Eyed Snake had transformed into snake form, pulling Xina's head to the left with one hand, while Little Giant Modo on the other side pulled her right hand away from the wall.
Normal people wouldn't be as extreme as Xina. She was right—as the price for gaining power to protect Muyu City, her mind had indeed been corroded by violent body energy into being less sharp, though her combat instincts were exceptionally strong.
"Come. See me."
From the darkness behind the twins, this voice sounded, and then the twins fell unconscious.
Xina and the others exchanged glances. After a brief discussion, they carried the twin sisters toward the Lord's estate. After they left, Baha flew out from the darkness atop the opposite building. With these six subordinates who were wholly devoted to Muyu City, the situation at this base camp would stabilize.

Was all this coincidence and chance? Of course not. Almost every step was part of the plan, except for Xina's sudden brain snap and that gunshot. Xina loved this broken city more than expected and was more extreme than anticipated. This made her a better subordinate—such a personality could be used for many things.

At 9 PM, in the inner hall on the third floor of the Lord's Mansion, Su Xiao, dressed in pajamas, looked at the several people kneeling in a row before him. Behind him stood the Head Maid, glaring at them with malicious intent. Her downcast eyes, as if looking at trash, made Xina's mouth twitch.
"So, you organized this assassination."
Su Xiao spoke with a hint of drowsiness—a minor side effect of using Azure Shadow King. Every ability had its cost.
"Yes."
Xina admitted directly.
"Reason."
"Well..."
Xina was somewhat inarticulate. She elbowed One-Eyed Snake, wanting him to speak, but hit him hard in the kidney. With Xina's arm strength, she nearly sent One-Eyed Snake to the afterlife.
"So, you assassinated me for no reason and now want to pay with your lives."
Su Xiao looked at Xina with a gaze of pity for the foolish. Xina's expression was complicated. She sighed and pointed at Bubu Wang, who was sitting beside Su Xiao, saying, "We can be your dogs like it."
"Woof?!"
Bubu Wang was shocked. Its innocent eyes seemed to say, 'Insult yourself, don't drag me into this. I am a Space-Rending Evil Hound, not a dog.'
"So, you assassinate me, and I still have to find you stable jobs."
"Uh... well..."
Xina scratched her head and could only give an awkward smile.
"I'm indeed short-handed lately. No pay. Will you do it?"
"Yes!"
"Dirty work."
"As long as it doesn't harm Muyu City's interests, yes!"
"..."
Su Xiao raised his hand. The Head Maid behind him bent down to listen. After hearing Su Xiao's low instructions, she walked out of the inner hall. Just before leaving, she frowned at Xina and the other five still kneeling and demanded, "What, do you want to live on the third floor where the Lord resides?"
Hearing this, Xina and the others got up and headed downstairs. The Head Maid arranged separate rooms for them, but soon, Xina was brought back alone to the third-floor inner hall to see Su Xiao.
"You're dying."
Su Xiao glanced at Xina, gesturing for her to sit in the opposite chair.
"Yeah, I probably have a few more years."
"Within half a month, you'll die for sure."
"Is that... really true?"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't answer. He got up, walked to the collection cabinet, pushed it aside to reveal a hidden compartment, and took out several bottles of potions. After sitting back down on the sofa, he raised his hand. Xina immediately stood up, leaned forward, and took the secret medicines from him.
Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder and said, "We offended Scarlet Lord and Great Lord Gurbak's group and came here. My boss, as an alchemist, doesn't lack money or resources. Your method of eating 'Core Food' to boost power, causing life force erosion, is common among Lord cities in the Great Swamp Zone. These are relief potions. Drink them, and you'll really last a few years. Each of you needs to drink at least three bottles. Restoring your original lifespan is impossible, but recovering half will let you live quite a while."
After hearing this, Xina looked at the potions in her hand and was about to speak. Baha said, "Go back. It's late. Get some sleep. There are important things tomorrow."
Xina didn't ask further. She stood up and left the inner hall. Seeing this, Baha asked, "Boss, I'm a bit worried. Should we swap the casino side for me and Amu? Dangerous as it is, me and Amu can hold out."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, so Baha said no more. Baha never questioned Su Xiao's plans, only mentioning concerns and always volunteering to take the most dangerous role for maximum stability.

The next morning, as the first rays of dawn rose, Su Xiao opened his eyes and picked up Beini, who was sleeping on his face.
In this war world, Beini couldn't go traveling and seemed a bit bored. Combat, infiltration, and intelligence gathering weren't her strengths, but Su Xiao's team couldn't do without her. With Beini managing finances, their profit conversion rate from gains to Soul Coins was 25% to 30% higher. However, Beini's investment ability and financial skills were at quite different levels.

After breakfast, Su Xiao went to the underground level. Xina and the other five were already waiting. The Dwarf Mechanic was studying the teleportation array, muttering exclamations like "miracle" and "masterpiece."
Hearing this, Fenny, standing nearby, had a complicated expression. Even though the teleportation array hadn't activated, she wanted to stay far away.
Baha, on Su Xiao's shoulder, repeated the plan once more, and then the teleportation array activated. The group arrived in the Gobi region. Except for Xina, who sat on the ground with legs spread, the others bent over, roaring like dragons at the ground. After Baha "comforted" them that they'd get used to it after a few more teleports, they roared even harder.
Half an hour later, the train started, heading toward Gold City.

At this moment, in the top-floor office of the Platinum Casino in the central-west district of Gold City.
"Boss, everything is ready."
Compared to the title "Lord," Great Lord Gurbak preferred being called "Boss" by his subordinates. In his view, those Lords were useless except for grabbing territory, with their sights only on this Lord Continent. The Void Star Realm was Great Lord Gurbak's goal—or rather, becoming one of the overlords of all realms.
"Good."
Great Lord Gurbak glanced at his flea-like trusted subordinate, Laswo. For some reason, since yesterday, he had found his subordinates increasingly irritating, especially when Laswo reported losing one "Realm-Level Teleportation Array" and six Troll Legions.
Taking the casino's private elevator, Great Lord Gurbak descended to the first floor. Looking at the opulent lobby, his mood improved. His goal was to build the largest casino in all realms, letting money flow in like waves.
Surrounded by a crowd of subordinates, Gurbak boarded a capsule train and soon arrived at the front district of Gold City. He ascended to the top floor of the city's tallest Lord Tower. From here, the entire Gold City and its surrounding areas were fully visible. A holographic map displayed real-time changes outside the city. The remaining two "Realm-Level Teleportation Arrays" were naturally the focus, with separate bird's-eye views of the First Transfer Station and the Third Transfer Station.
Great Lord Gurbak sat down in a leather chair. Seeing this, the subordinates at various posts continued their work. Gurbak picked up a cigar roasted by his men. This limited-edition cigar from Wind Sea Continent required roasting before lighting to remove 90% of its moisture and release its unique aroma.
Smoking leisurely, Great Lord Gurbak waited for the prey to arrive. Just then, the holographic map reacted. He looked at the bird's-eye view of the Third Transfer Station. A figure descended from the sky, landing before the "Realm-Level Teleportation Array" there. The next second, Gurbak received feedback from his subordinates: perception complete—this was the Law Destroyer.
Through the bird's-eye view, Great Lord Gurbak heard a hum. The "Realm-Level Teleportation Array" at the Third Transfer Station was enveloped by multiple layers of defensive barriers, with three more large-scale barriers and space interference devices outside. The Law Destroyer was trapped with no escape.
Taking a puff of his cigar, Great Lord Gurbak shook his head with a smile. Such a reckless fool would at most cause painful losses in a first surprise attack. The trap he set at the Third Transfer Station was only a one-percent precaution against the enemy attacking that array. He never expected the enemy to actually walk into the snare.
But on second thought, Gurbak broke out in a cold sweat. The enemy had used reverse thinking—precisely because it seemed unlikely, they did it. If he hadn't set up these barriers as a precaution, today's losses would have been severe.

Meanwhile, on the 12th floor of the Platinum Casino, in the VIP area, Bubu Wang quietly arrived at the empty crystal stage and placed a Soul Stone engraved with spatial runes. The Soul Stone exploded, forming a Law-Destruction Teleportation Array.
Boom!
All space-shielding devices in the Platinum Casino collapsed. The adjacent space-blocking tower exploded, instantly killing over a dozen space-system mages inside.
Four figures appeared on the crystal stage of the 12th-floor VIP area. Each wore a perception-blocking mask and tech-side disguise devices. The leader raised a kinetic firearm modified by Bubu Wang, aiming upward.
Bang!
"Everyone, get down!!"
Xina shouted while shooting several security personnel over a dozen meters away in the head. She led the way to the chip exchange counter, banging the butt of her gun against the defensive glass. With a slap, she stuck an Apollo bomb on it with her other hand. The casino staff inside had no choice but to obediently shut down the barrier.

At the same time, on the top floor of the Lord Tower, Great Lord Gurbak, smoking his cigar, listened gravely to his subordinate's report. Upon hearing that the casino was under attack, he shot to his feet. The casino was his lifeline.
"You... bastard!"
Gurbak ground his teeth audibly. He now realized that the attack on the Third Transfer Station was a diversion. The enemy's true target was the Platinum Casino.
Had Su Xiao himself appeared at the Third Transfer Station? Of course not.

[Pseudo-Mannequin]
Type: Special Equipment.
Equipment Requirement: Charm Attribute below 1 point.
Equipment Effect: Pseudo-Figure (Active): This equipment can create a pseudo-figure. By using the target's blood, a small amount of Fate Power, or items highly causally linked to them, it can impersonate that person. After the pseudo-figure exists for 120 hours, this ability enters a 120-hour cooldown. During this time, paying Soul Stones can shorten the cooldown.
Note: The pseudo-figure has three disguise levels.
Disguise Level 1: No contact with the impersonated target. At this level, the pseudo-figure only has 100% of the target's appearance, voice, and aura.
Disguise Level 2: Brief contact with the impersonated target. At this level, the pseudo-figure not only has 100% of the target's appearance, voice, and aura but also their unique temperament.
Disguise Level 3: The pseudo-figure turns into a semi-fluid, enveloping the impersonated target for 10 minutes. At this level, the pseudo-figure has 100% of the target's appearance, voice, aura, temperament, subtle habits...
Note: This equipment has sufficient intelligence, so it has a loyalty judgment.
Current Loyalty: 99/100 points (Temporarily loyal due to the holder's negotiation skills).

...
When Great Lord Gurbak rushed back to the casino with his subordinates, the attackers had already withdrawn. They had only robbed the VIP area's chip exchange of some Soul Coins.
Learning this, Gurbak frowned. Suddenly thinking of something, he took the private elevator to the top floor. Only after opening the top-floor vault and confirming nothing was missing did he breathe a sigh of relief.
What Gurbak didn't notice was that Bubu Wang, a dozen meters away in the same top-floor office, had quietly recorded the casino's treasure vault.

The "Third Transfer Station" wasn't Su Xiao's goal. The "Platinum Casino" was also a feint. So what was Su Xiao's real purpose? The answer was: Gold City's Number One Vault.
Gold City had two large vaults in total. This time's goal was to "stock up" at the Number One Vault. The process was already familiar. Su Xiao's faction hatred with the Gold Faction was as high as 375,262/500,000 points.
The process had four steps:
Step One: Through Kaiser, the financial officer of Gold City, Fenny successfully joined the Gold Faction.
Step Two: With Su Xiao as the current ultimate enemy boss of the Gold Faction, Fenny, after completing faction tasks issued by Kaiser—such as "Capturing the Ultimate Boss," "Infiltrating the Enemy Base," and "Obtaining the Ultimate Boss's Highly Confidential Documents"—gained absurdly high reputation with the Gold Faction. In return, Fenny's strange knowledge grew again.
Step Three: Amu and Baha, along with Fenny, used the Law-Destruction Teleportation Array during the casino team's assault to reach the southern material exchange point—where the faction's shop opened. After Kaiser's manipulations, with Fenny looking on in existential doubt, her Gold Faction shop opened, and the "stocking up" on the Number One Vault began.
Step Four: Kaiser, at considerable cost, changed his replaced identity within the Gold Faction because the Number Two Vault hadn't been "stocked up" yet.

When Great Lord Gurbak, in the casino's top-floor office, learned of this news half an hour later, he slumped into the leather chair behind the wide gold desk, his gaze hollow. Even facing assassination attempts that nearly cost his life, he had never felt like this. But the Number One Vault being completely looted struck him like a thunderbolt.
"Between me and this Law Destroyer... one of us must die. Must!"
Great Lord Gurbak gritted his teeth. His trusted subordinate Laswo was terrified, not daring to breathe loudly.

First attack the "Third Transfer Station," then raid the "Platinum Casino," with the ultimate goal of "stocking up" at the "Number One Vault." Was this Su Xiao's plan? The answer was: no.
Boom!!!
A massive explosion came from the east of the city. This time, the Law-Destruction Thunder Pillar was so fierce that it even struck the golden city wall on Gold City's east side, electrifying the metal wall to a glowing red. Even the Platinum Casino in the central district felt a faint tremor.
Great Lord Gurbak stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and watched the Law-Destruction Thunder Pillar pouring down outside the city. The pre-prepared "Thunder Defense" barrier had inexplicably been shut down from the inside, completely useless.
This meant that while the casino and Number One Vault plans were underway, the Law Destroyer had indeed attacked the "Third Transfer Station." The initial destroyed decoy had made the Dark Soul Clan legions at the "Third Transfer Station" believe Su Xiao's target wasn't there.
Yes, single-handedly taking on the six Dark Soul Clan legions at the "Third Transfer Station" was Su Xiao's ultimate goal. He urgently needed "Law-Destroying Skill Points," and nothing killed faster than Law-Destruction Thunder.
Great Lord Gurbak's losses were as follows:
