After taking down Luo Wang, Su Hao and his group acted as if nothing had happened, going about their daily routines.
Su Hao even found tto fulfill his promise and invited President Gu Yin out for a meal. But President Gu Yin was clearly in a bad mood, so who would feel like eating?
Even Ah Xing and Ah Wang were on edge all day, worrying both that Su Hao and the others might quietly approach and take out the eight people of the Luo Wang, and that Su Hao and the others were just joking and would let the Luo Wang leave like that.
The mood was indeed very complicated.
Until a investigation team arrived in Huai Shui Town.
After Ah Xing learned the news, he exclaimed, “What? Luo Wang and the others are missing?”
Ah Wang shrugged, suppressing his laughter, “That’s right. It’s said that after so long, Luo Wang and the others haven’t returned to Ming Chuan City, completely lost contact. Now the investigation team is following the traces left by Luo Wang and the others as they left, but… it’s impossible to find them.”
Ah Xing immediately recalled what Yashan had said and quickly judged what had happened. Indeed, it was impossible to find them. Judging by the methods of Yashan and Ah Feng, they would definitely not leave a trace.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that Su Hao and the others weren’t joking and actually took action!
Ah Xing’s mind was a bit dizzy, his heart beating faster and faster, and after a while he said, “Ah Wang, let’s go find President Gu Yin now.”
Ah Wang was shocked, “Ah Xing, are you crazy? Are you going to betray us?”
Ah Xing reached out and hooked Ah Wang’s neck, dragging him away, “Am I that kind of person? If Luo Wang goes missing, it will definitely be pinned on our team in the end. We need to find President Gu Yin first to coordinate our story, deny any conflict with Luo Wang and the others, and even claim we had a ‘pleasant conversation’. Otherwise, we won’t be able to explain ourselves later. Let’s go!”
Ah Wang’s eyes lit up, giving Ah Xing a thumbs up.
However, things went beyond Ah Xing’s imagination. Even if they had a pleasant conversation with Luo Wang and the others, they were still required by the investigation team to return to Ming Chuan City for further investigation as ‘directly related individuals’.
After Yashan and Feng Cheng learned about this, they casually buried the ‘troublesome’ investigation team.
The two of them were currently involved in an experiment project with Boss Wei, respectively focusing on ‘feasible solutions for transforming specific substances’ and ‘analysis of the products of combining sources with different mental states’. They didn’t have tto play games with these investigation teams.
If someone bothered them again, they might just directly go to Ming Chuan City and blow up that so-called royal mansion.
But watching Yashan and Feng Cheng burying people throughout the process completely stunned Ah Xing and Ah Wang. The progress of the situation had exceeded their imagination.
Never did they think that their teammates would be so audacious.
In the end, Ah Xing asked, “What if the Luo Wang’s mansion continues to send people? What should we do?”
Yashan chuckled, looking like a sincere and honest young man, “There are plenty of places around, just find a piece of land to bury them! If that doesn’t work, we’ll rebel against them and take over Yi Xuan City, becoming the royal family of Heng Xuan District.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeng Cheng also said, “This doesn’t require much technical skill. I think I can handle it too.”
Ah Xing and Ah Wang: “…”
Seeing the serious look on the faces of these two teenagers who were not even eighteen years old, what could they say? There was nothing to say.
……
Another month passed, and Su Hao successfully developed the ‘Tier 2 Space’, confirming its ability to isolate any known attacks. He decided to officially venture out and understand the true face of this world.
Simply put: to collect the knowledge treasures of this world.
Whether it’s historical literature, philosophical theories, source energy technology, or research achievements, he welcomed them all, collecting them all into his dimensional space. Even if he didn’t read them now, who knows, maybe he would in the future?
For someone who had seen various world views, having such a penchant for collecting was perfectly normal.
That night, he flew high in the sky, heading straight for Ming Chuan City.
He heard that the Luo Wang’s mansion was there, so he decided to go and see if there were any good treasures to collect.
His flying speed was extremely fast, and he arrived over Ming Chuan City in just a few hours, overlooking the not-so-small city.
After sthought, he teleported directly onto the street, blending into the crowd, and quickly inquired about the location of the Luo Wang’s mansion.
Su Hao eagerly entered the Luo Wang’s mansion and took a look around. What he saw was beyond his expectations.
The entire mansion seemed noble and peaceful on the surface, but in the basement of the backyard, there was a kind of hell on earth.
Various women were imprisoned here, with numb expressions, seemingly used for entertainment and venting, of course, it wasn’t just that.
There were no precious treasures, on the contrary, it was a place hiding the utmost darkness of humanity.
How to describe such a thing? It could be seen in every world. There would always be speople who, relying on their power, would recklessly release the darkness within their souls, depriving others of their right to live freely.
Su Hao appeared on the spot, “The Luo Wang is dead. I can take you all out. Those willing to leave, stand up.”
No one moved, instead, they all shrank back into a group, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Su Hao.
Su Hao sighed, disappeared again, quietly leaving the Luo Wang’s mansion, and then sneaked into the hall of the Mage Association in Ming Chuan City, searching for valuable information.
This time, he did gain something, obtaining sresearch reports on the source devices.
But Su Hao didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart, appearing unusually calm.
After collecting the information, he flew into the night sky and headed towards another city.
He thought that he should still be able to gain something from the Mage Associations in other cities, and at the stime, see if there were any extrdarkness hidden in other cities.
In larger cities, they were generally designated as fiefdoms of the royal family, with corresponding royal mansions, exercising the responsibility of oversight, while also enjoying the right to appoint spositions.
In a city, a prince couldn’t dominate everything, but their power was not small either, belonging to an existence that ordinary people looked up to. To sextent, they could indeed do as they pleased. Those who wanted to control couldn’t, and those who could control were too lazy to do so. Over time, a kind of tacit balance was formed.
It was this kind of tacit understanding that often unleashed the dark side of human nature.
Soon, Su Hao arrived at the second city, successively sneaking into the royal mansion and the hall of the Mage Association, taking away valuable information without stopping for a moment before rushing towards the third city.
He didn’t need to specifically investigate. With his careful search, the appearance of the entire city, including any hidden dirt, was clear to his mind.
“This peculiar world, the unique civilization of source energy, should have been magnificent and desirable, but unfortunately… sflaws have ruined this sense of beauty,” Su Hao sighed inwardly.
As Su Hao approached the third city, his divine sense sensed an anomaly in the third city, “Huh, is there a battle?”
Generally speaking, when battles occurred in cities, it was mostly due to disasters erupting, and source masters would intervene to handle the disasters.
There are exceptions, such as the battle that occurred in Chao Nan City, which was not a disaster but a battle between source masters.
Battles between source masters are not uncommon. When fighting for source pearls in the wilderness, they don’t hold back at all. However, direct battles erupting in cities are quite rare.
Driven by curiosity, Su Hao’s mind moved, and he teleported to the sky above the battle, looking down.
The battle took place in a luxurious mansion. He was quite familiar with this type of architectural standard. Wasn’t it a royal mansion?
Using the word ‘battle’ to describe it wasn’t accurate; it should be called a ‘massacre’!
Yes, a team of about ten source masters were crazily massacring the people in the mansion.
There were still a few guards desperately resisting in the mansion, protecting a fat man in pajamas in front of them. It seemed that the battle would end soon.
…
On the rooftop of a loft in the mansion, three slender figures stood. A neatly dressed girl with a ponytail on the right turned her head to look at the man in the middle and asked softly, “Zhipeng, the prince has been surrounded in the backyard. It won’t be long before we can catch him. Are you going to kill him yourself?”
The man referred to as Zhipeng by the beautiful ponytailed girl looked like a messy scholar. His face was thin and wrinkled, his beard was unkempt, as if it hadn’t been groomed in a long time. His eyes were bloodshot, and under the dim light from afar, they appeared sharp and piercing.
Zhipeng remained silent for a moment before shaking his head slowly, “No, just kill him directly!”
The ponytailed girl didn’t say more. In her eyes as she looked at Zhipeng, there was a hint of pity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhipeng was too pitiful. He had been living a happy secluded life with his beloved wife, but suddenly one day, his wife caught the eye of the prince and was secretly abducted by him. After being released two days later, his wife couldn’t bear the oppression in her heart and committed suicide.
The ponytailed girl couldn’t imagine how Zhipeng could bear such a blow. His heart must be in great pain right now.
The ponytailed girl secretly decided that she must help Zhipeng seek revenge and take care of him, helping him recover from his pain. This was her responsibility as a friend.
At this moment, a long-haired man on Zhipeng’s left opened his eyes and said, “Zhipeng, smages from the Mage Association are heading this way. They’re expected to arrive in two minutes.”
Just then, not far away, the battle was also coming to an end. The defenses of the prince’s guards were broken through, and metal spikes carrying strong electric currents immediately pierced through the breaches, impaling several guards in mid-air. Then, several air blades swiftly severed all the guards’ heads.
Even the fat prince wasn’t spared. His large head rolled aside amidst the high spurting blood, his widened eyes filled with terror.
Zhipeng said in a low voice, “Let’s go!”
He leaped off the rooftop, running outward, with the ponytailed girl and the long-haired man following closely behind. The source masters who had killed the prince showed a sense of ease on their faces. They swiftly leaped around the prince’s mansion and caught up with Zhipeng’s group, running together towards the outskirts of Chao Nan City.
Tonight’s revenge mission was successfully completed.
After shaking off the pursuing mages from the Association, they stopped at an abandoned loft outside the city.
“Bang!”
Zhipeng clenched his fists tightly, and one fist fiercely smashed into the wall.
The great revenge had been avenged, but he couldn’t feel any happiness. Even if he killed the prince, so what? His wife couldn’t cback.
He just wanted to live a quiet and ordinary life. Couldn’t he even achieve this small wish? Why did this world treat him like this?
His anger couldn’t find a vent at this moment.
After a long time, Zhipeng relaxed his clenched fists.
He turned to the source masters who had helped him exterminate the entire prince’s mansion and said with gratitude, “Thank you all! If it weren’t for you helping me, I’m afraid I would never have had the chance for revenge.”
The ponytailed girl immediately said, “What are you thanking us for? We’re all your friends!”
The others also said one after another, “That’s right, Zhipeng, we’re all your friends. There’s no need to thank us. It’s only right.”
Zhipeng’s face showed a touch of emotion as he said, “You are all my good friends. Fortunately, I have you.”
…
Hidden in the air, Su Hao was full of astonishment. This scene felt strange.
Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!
