# Chapter 3144: If You Have a Threat, Tell Him
Having finally found Carmen's study, naturally everything in the study had to be taken away.
As for books, blueprints, and similar items, they all went to Xu Huo. As for the others, Xu Huo didn't let them leave empty-handed either—he distributed some fragments of the angel's head to them, "One piece each, so you didn't come for nothing."
The others didn't know what to say. How grateful they were—there was actually something to share.
The most dissatisfied was naturally the young man. Even if he had gained nothing, he wouldn't stoop to picking up these scraps. But when Xu Huo personally handed him the metal shard, he still accepted it with lowered eyes, because at this moment, Xu Huo appeared to him like that red-eyed statue he had seen when entering—capable of taking his life at any moment.
There were quite a few items, and since the game panel was temporarily inaccessible, Xu Huo had to borrow the backpacks of everyone present. He himself only carried the angel's left eye Primordial Stone and a few books, while the others carried the rest.
"So trusting? Aren't you afraid we'll run off with the stuff?" the young man said, testing the waters.
"Go ahead and try." Xu Huo's tone was flat, completely lacking any threat or warning.
The young man fell silent again. He wasn't stupid. Xu Huo had already demonstrated the ability to materialize space entities, which meant he could easily destroy instruments and props, as well as restrict space teleportation channels. If he could escape before Xu Huo successfully intercepted him, fine... but if he failed... there would truly be no room for negotiation.
Xu Huo took out the ring instrument the young man had contributed earlier. The nested rings began to rotate, projecting a circular portal two meters ahead.
Worried about another disappearance incident like with the sculpture, Xu Huo brought everyone along. They all successfully exited without anyone getting lost, but the outside wasn't the restaurant space from before—it was a greenhouse.
Their timing was also quite coincidental, landing right between two groups of players who were in the middle of fighting. The group's emergence made them shields for both sides.
Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly and immediately activated instruments for protection. However, Fu Kuan's defense barrier was still sliced open at one corner, and it happened to cut through the backpack behind him, causing some draft blueprints to fall out.
"Those are Carmen Field's manuscripts!" The two groups that had been fighting stopped immediately, charging toward the scattered blueprints and Xu Huo's group's backpacks.
Some wanted to snatch, naturally some wanted to defend, and others wanted to flee. But whether it was defense or attack, the moment the colored space filaments appeared, everything turned to nothing. Space tangents, defense barriers, metal flying swords, metal shields—all collapsed and disintegrated the instant the colored space filaments passed through, including the player who had almost touched the papers on the ground.
The disappearance of the space barrier wasn't obvious, but the destruction of metal weapons was very clear. They weren't directly cut into several or dozens of pieces, but collapsed from within, turning into sand-like fine debris. When applied to a person, countless fine cracks burst out like porcelain, then turned into a spray of human-shaped blood mist!
With the pattering sounds of falling, blood spread across the ground, gradually staining the nearby manuscripts red.
No one paid attention to the dead player. Those who had wanted to act immediately retreated. Fu Kuan quickly gathered the manuscripts and sighed in relief, saying to Xu Huo, "It's okay, still legible."
Xu Huo nodded. He didn't retract his space power but instead tried his best to control the space filaments around him, preventing them from spreading out and destroying the entire greenhouse space.
Among those who had been fighting were people from player families and ordinary players from other zones. The two sides had originally formed alliances against each other, but now they all turned their gazes toward the group in the middle.
"Gene Anderson!" Someone called out the young man's name. "Hand over what you're carrying, or you'll never leave here alive!"
The young man, Gene Anderson, smiled and stepped back, revealing Xu Huo behind him. "I don't have the final say here. If you have a threat, tell him."
Only then did the others focus their attention on Xu Huo—this unremarkable person in the crowd.
The players responsible for guarding the player family side had some experience. The sudden incident had caught them off guard, but now that the battle had stopped, they naturally understood that the attack just now hadn't come from an instrument but from this young man in the middle!
Like Gene Anderson earlier, the two young masters in the greenhouse similarly didn't take players like Xu Huo seriously. Just as they were about to shout, they saw Xu Huo cast a glance at them, and their words seemed to get stuck in their throats, turning into pained groans.
Blood flowed from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths. They had no room to resist, instinctively falling to their knees with their heads in their hands. It was only when their bodyguards reacted in time, activating defense barriers while using jamming instruments, that they managed to save the two young men's lives.
With just this exchange, they understood they had run into no ordinary player. Without a second word, they forcibly broke through the partition formed by the space filaments and withdrew from the greenhouse.
Xu Huo didn't pursue them. Instead, he looked at Gene Anderson. "It seems your family's conditions aren't as good as those two. Their instruments can withstand the kaleidoscope world, but you don't have such instruments."
Gene wanted to retort, but his lips moved and in the end, nothing came out.
It wasn't that he didn't have them, but instruments of this level were limited. Having even one was already impressive—how could they be used casually?
But now he could calmly say something polite: "Materializing space entities, in terms of space evolution, you've already reached the level of a Super Player."
Instruments capable of withstanding a Super Player's attack—even the wealthiest player families couldn't have one for every member.
Xu Huo smiled faintly and turned to the other side. "I can't give you my things. Instead, what were you fighting over just now?"
"The items have already been taken by the Carter and Paine families! We have nothing!" The younger player blurted out. "Picking on the weak—why didn't you stop them? Afraid to offend the player families?"
"You're lying." Xu Huo looked at these people. "I'll only give you one chance."
As he spoke, the kaleidoscope filaments moved closer to them. The few people couldn't withstand the pressure, and one of them threw out an hourglass.
"This is an instrument we found. When the sand starts falling, people within a certain range will experience a feeling of weightlessness."
Xu Huo caught the hourglass and added, "If those people haven't left the instance venue yet, tell them the instrument is with me. If they want it, they can come and ask me for it."
The few were reluctant. Even if it was just an ordinary instrument, it was still found in Carmen Field's instance venue. With that name attached, many people would want to collect it. They could sell it at several times or even over ten times the premium, which was better than getting nothing.
But since things had come to this, they could only leave quickly, afraid that Xu Huo might change his mind.
