Chapter 64: Target: Hunting Song Haitang!
Chapter 64: Target: Hunting Song Haitang!
In a civilian house.
Over forty people had already gathered.
And more Superhuman Novices were arriving from different directions, continuing to enter the place.
The spacious main hall, which had been empty just moments ago, instantly became very crowded with the sudden influx of people.
With so many people.
Various voices naturally began to rise.
"Mercdo? You're here too? It's great to see you! That means your harvest tonight must have been just as poor."
"Damn bastards, isn't it the same for you?"
"Ha ha! That's right! Those monsters seem genuinely scared and are all hiding. Our team searched for so long and only managed to kill four... I can guarantee that this city is particularly safe now. Even if we hold a Chaos Party here, those monsters won't come!"
"We did the same, but we killed one more monster than you, hehe..."
This was a conversation between the captains of two teams.
They seemed to know each other well.
A moment later.
When the number of people in the room exceeded sixty, no more arrivals came.
"Wow!"
A Black Ghost arrived last, flashing a smile: "There are really a lot of people here."
This guy's voice was loud, and many people in the room turned to look at the Black Ghost.
A muscular White man, who seemed to know the Black Ghost, asked: "Cole, why are you here alone? What about Tom?"
Mentioning Tom Hades, a hint of displeasure flashed across Cole's face, but he quickly covered it up, saying: "Tom is chasing a monster and probably won't be able to make it."
The muscular White man sneered, "Can't make it? More like he's too scared to come?"
Hearing this, Cole didn't get angry. He just shrugged and said, "You can talk to him yourself when you see Tom."
"Are you done talking?"
An Indian suddenly spoke up: "I didn't come here to listen to your idle talk."
"Alright, let's get to the point!"
This time, it was a White Maiden wearing black-rimmed glasses who spoke.
This girl seemed to be a celebrity, and most of the people present knew her. When she spoke, she immediately drew everyone's attention.
The murmurs in the room gradually died down.
Only a few Superhuman Beings in the corner, who didn't recognize her, were quietly asking their companions.
"Who is she?"
"You don't know her? Well, you must know her father."
"Who is her father?"
"Ethan Smith!"
"Whew... The top-tier powerhouse of the Federation, nicknamed 'Magneto'?"
"That's right!"
"Alright! So she's the princess of the Smith family. No wonder so many people are willing to listen to her."
...
The White Maiden paid no attention to these inquiries.
She said, "I believe everyone already knows why we've gathered here. That woman has killed too many monsters, making them afraid to come out, which has seriously affected our quest progress!"
Mentioning this, everyone became agitated!
The monsters had all run off, and they had only managed to find a few after searching the city for a long time.
The White Maiden's purpose in bringing this up was to unite everyone against a common enemy.
Seeing everyone's anger rising, she continued to criticize Song Haitang, deliberately stirring up their hatred.
However.
There were few fools among those present.
No matter how much she tried to deceive them, it wouldn't work.
Seeing the White Maiden still rambling on, the Black Ghost Cole couldn't help but interrupt, "Miss Smith, I only have one concern! There's only one Song, who will get the credit for killing her?"
This question drew everyone's attention.
This was the most critical issue! Who wouldn't want the quest progress from Song Haitang?
The biggest problem now was that there were too many wolves and too little meat!
Next, it would all depend on how Miss Smith responded.
If her answer wasn't satisfactory, the crowd would surely disband.
The White Maiden was straightforward, saying, "Song, her head, definitely belongs to me!"
At this, everyone frowned.
Some were already preparing to leave.
Seeing this, the White Maiden quickly added, "However, her companions can be yours... You've all seen the scene. Many monsters were killed violently, so the quest progress on that guy should also be significant."
The crowd remained unmoved.
Is that it?
Trying to get them to risk their lives for that?
Dream on!
The White Maiden knew her offer wasn't attractive enough, so she played her trump card:
"Those who help me kill Song will receive five million dollars after we leave the Spirit Realm!"
"Five million dollars each!!"
With that, the room fell silent.
Finally, many showed a glimmer of excitement.
Five million dollars was enough for an ordinary person to live a comfortable life.
Additionally, everyone believed that Miss Smith wouldn't renege on her promise.
Not only was her father one of the top powerhouses in the Federation, but he was also a well-known billionaire who doted on his daughter.
There were numerous news articles online about Miss Smith's extravagant spending.
Of course.
Those who were already wealthy wouldn't risk their lives for a mere five million dollars.
◇6◇9◇
As the white maiden finished speaking, the well-off Supernal Beings stood up one by one, choosing to leave.
Some also felt that this journey was too risky and opted to withdraw.
A minute later.
The room, which originally held sixty people, now had a third less, making it much more spacious.
However, forty people still remained.
...
"Cole, you're not leaving?" someone asked.
Black Ghost Cole shrugged and said, "Now that the monsters haven't been killed, it wouldn't be bad to earn five million dollars and go back."
Upon hearing this, someone nodded in agreement.
It was clear that they shared the same thought.
However, most people were merely observing with cold eyes.
For instance, the four-person team from the Wako Kingdom.
They weren't staying for the five million dollars; instead, they wanted to find an opportunity to muddy the waters, ambush, and kill Song Haitang!
They wanted to get their hands on the quest progress she carried.
As for whether this would offend Miss Smith...
Of course it would!
But they weren't afraid.
To prevent retaliatory competition among Supernal Beings from different countries, the global nations had long signed the Spirit Realm Alliance!
One important clause in the Spirit Realm Alliance stated: Regardless of what happens or what grudges are formed within the Spirit Realm, they can only be resolved within the Spirit Realm. After leaving the Spirit Realm, all grudges are nullified, and there shall be no further mutual retaliation or killing!
Although many didn't take the Spirit Realm Alliance seriously, they still had to respect it on the surface.
If someone broke the agreement, they would become the public enemy of Supernal Beings from all nations!
Therefore, the four-person team from the Wako Kingdom wasn't afraid of offending Miss Smith.
Even if Miss Smith wanted to retaliate after leaving the Spirit Realm, she could only do so secretly and wouldn't dare to act openly.
They weren't from the same country, so they could act covertly without fear.
Even a powerful dragon wouldn't bully the local snake!
No matter how influential the Smith family was, it was only in the Federation; how could they extend their reach to foreign countries?
At this moment.
Not only the Wako Kingdom's team thought this way, but most of the other national teams had similar thoughts.
Very few were truly there for the five million dollars.
Although the scent of money was intoxicating.
But.
The ultimate quest evaluation was what these Supernal Beings truly sought.
...
Miss Smith's gaze swept across the room.
She had a good idea of what these people were really planning.
But it didn't matter!
She was confident in herself and believed she could achieve the final victory.
Because she possessed an extremely powerful superhuman skill.
It was a gift from her father.
Once unleashed, it could instantly drain her stamina, allowing her to unleash three times her usual damage! Of course, the side effects were significant, and after using it once, she would enter a severe period of weakness.
With this skill, she believed no one could outdo her!
So.
Even though she knew these people had ulterior motives, Miss Smith didn't expose them.
"Very good! Those who stayed have made the right choice!"
Miss Smith said, "If you help me kill Song, not only will each of you receive five million dollars, but you'll also gain the friendship of the Smith family!"
"My father has an excellent memory and will never forget your help!"
These words seemed to encourage and entice, but they also carried an underlying threat.
Saying that her father had a good memory was a warning to these people not to cause trouble, wasn't it? But...
Those who remained were bold and fearless; how could they be intimidated by her words?
"Miss Smith, what should we do next? That woman isn't easy to deal with... Do you have a specific battle plan?"
"Of course!"
Miss Smith revealed an extremely confident smile.
Next chapter at noon!
