699: Chapter 689: Snatching People from the Jaws of a Dog 699: Chapter 689: Snatching People from the Jaws of a Dog If Black Cross only had a facade of power without real strength and it was unveiled by so many present people.
Not only would it embarrass Wen Wen, and not only would it influence how the Hunter Association perceives the contract with Black Cross, but also…
contemplate the thoughts that might occur to the Containnt Officers lured here by Wen Wen’s guise…
Wen Wen didn’t know what would happen, so he dared not take the risk; he had to stand his ground this ti.
Despite the imnse pressure, Wen Wen didn’t lose composure, and he gestured to Stein, saying, “Co over here by yourself.”
Stein didn’t want to go, but with the monsters around him grinning and baring their teeth, and with one snake-like Monster already opening its mouth aid at his rear…
Thus, Stein had no choice but to move toward Wen Wen, lest he be killed by these Monsters before Wen Wen could do anything.
After arriving next to Wen Wen, Stein said, “I don’t know when I might have offended soone as important as you, could you at least let understand why I must die?”
Wen Wen didn’t reply, as if he was ignoring Stein.
But he was actually considering how to handle the matter.
First, the Mist Box wasn’t a problem since it sowhat obeyed Wen Wen’s commands, and Stein coming here was probably driven by the Mist Box as well.
The problem lay with the Tings Hound on Stein.
It might not be fooled by Wen Wen’s appearance, and once summoned by Stein, it could cause a loss of control.
Seeing Wen Wen’s deanor and Stein’s trembling fra, Xun Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Stein being scared ant at least he wasn’t in cahoots with Wen Wen.
And, with the Mist Box, which recognized Stein as its master yet obeyed Wen Wen’s command, this further showcased Wen Wen’s power.
After leaving Stein hanging for a few seconds, Wen Wen said to him, “Now, you have two choices.”
“First, surrender, and I might spare you from the ordeal of the Hound.”
“Second, resist stubbornly, and I will let you endure all the tortures of this world.”
“I’ll give you fifteen seconds to choose.”
If Stein had surrendered, it would have been for the best.
The Sanctuary could likely restrain the Hound, and also alleviate the current trouble.
If Stein chose to struggle desprerately, then Wen Wen would command the Misty Monsters to capture him, and as for Wen Wen himself, of course he would intervene as little as possible, because the more he acted, the more likely flaws might erge.
The two choices Wen Wen gave to Stein made Xun Qing and others breathe a sigh of relief again.
This indicated that Wen Wen was here to resolve trouble, not to create it.
They imdiately felt much safer, now with more of a spectator’s ntality.
But Wen Wen was not at all at ease, fearing that Stein might impulsively summon the Hound.
Upon hearing that he might be spared from the ordeal of the Hound, Stein’s eyes lit up.
No matter what happened after he surrendered, if he could avoid being chased by the Hound, it would be better than the current situation.
Given Stein’s current condition, he could at best live for another day or two, and with bad luck, he might die in the next second.
Wen Wen’s entrance was imnsely impactful—fog dispersing, monsters prostrating; he seed far more powerful than any so-called Guide, and his words certainly seed reliable.
“I am willing…”
But before Stein could finish his sentence, the fog that seed capable of twisting space reappeared from a corner of the wall.
The next attack from the Tings Hound had arrived!
It was Stein’s turn to pale; this appearance of the Hound was utterly unreasonable.
Normally, before an attack by the Hound, there would be a premonition, enough ti for him to apply his deceptive techniques.
But this ti, it appeared suddenly without any sign!
And his usually flawless deceptive technique seed to have lost its effect; the Hound now focused solely on him, with ti around them seemingly at a standstill!
The lean and famished Hound, with its terrifying eyes, crawled out of the corner, its otherworldly aura sending shivers through all the superpower users present.
Wen Wen had seen the Hound once before, so he was much more composed than the others.
Moreover, the target of the Hound was not him, so he had no need to panic.
Unfortunately, since he was very close to Stein this ti, the surrounding ti was also stopped, rendering him unable to move as well.
The Hound killing Stein was good news for Xun Qing and the others, but not for Wen Wen.
He had just stated that Stein could avoid the Hound’s calamity, and as Stein chose to surrender, it would have been bad for Wen Wen’s image if he had simply stood by and watched.
Furthermore, Wen Wen was determined to get his hands on the Mist Box.
Letting Stein die would likely link the device to him.
Although the Mist Box obeyed Wen Wen’s commands within a certain range, Wen Wen did not want to gamble with his luck.
Lastly, if he did not move at all at the appearance of the Tings Hound, as if he were frozen by it, how could he continue to pretend to be a Catastrophe-Level Expert?
Thus, Wen Wen decided to try and snatch Stein back right in front of the Hound!
According to Wen Wen’s understanding, Tings Hounds generally only attacked their target, just like it had failed to attack Wen Wen initially, did not assault the Guide, and when the attack on Boyeve was stopped by Old Tings, it did not vent its anger on him.
“The Tings Hound’s attack is not fast.
I rember the Sanctuary’s abilities can be used during this stopped ti.
It should work,” Wen Wen thought.
“If this doesn’t work…then it’s because Stein didn’t finish speaking, and it’s not my fault for standing idly by.”
Black chains smoothly erged from Wen Wen’s body, bringing a slight smile to his face.
On seeing those chains, the Hound warily stepped back.
This was its first ti in this world seeing sothing that could move in stopped ti.
This man in black was no simple character!
It just watched as Wen Wen entangled Stein, not making a single move throughout, but the look in its eyes towards Wen Wen grew increasingly strange.
Wen Wen dragged Stein in front of him, and then Stein was directly pulled into his palm.
In the senses of the Tings Hound, Stein had vanished.
The Hound circled around Wen Wen a few tis, its cold eyes sending chills down Wen Wen’s spine, but eventually, it let out a strange howl and gradually disappeared into the air.
Only then did Wen Wen finally breathe a sigh of relief, knowing he had passed this hurdle.
However, Wen Wen still felt a lingering fear, uneasy about the Hound’s final act.
The Tings Hound that appeared this ti was undoubtedly the sa one that had attacked Wen Wen previously.
But when he saw it last ti, it seed like a brutal and unrestrained monster that followed no rules, yet this ti, it was much more cautious and likely possessed great intelligence.
That change made Wen Wen feel uncomfortable, so he decided he would properly interrogate Stein, to learn all about the Tings Hound’s background.
Chances are, Wen Wen might encounter such monsters again, so it’s always good to be prepared in advance.
While Wen Wen’s maneuvers seed extrely dangerous to him, to other superpower users, it appeared as though he effortlessly snatched the prey from the Tings Hound and then made this fearso monster retreat without daring to offend him.
They had all heard stories told by Old Tings and knew that once the number of Tings Hounds increased, even a normal Disaster Level could be killed.
Before, they were sowhat skeptical, but having seen the Tings Hound and its ability to stop ti, they believed it was not impossible.
Now, Wen Wen’s easy driving back of the Hound further proved the power of a Catastrophe-Level Expert.
In their minds, Wen Wen shouldn’t be any less capable than the other Judicators!
After the Tings Hound disappeared, the mist around also started to dissipate, and the hundred-ter-long fish let out a long cry, nodded its head at Wen Wen, and then dissolved into mist.
After it disappeared, the mist also quickly thinned out.
In just a few minutes, the mist had completely vanished.
For the first ti in three hundred years, the residents of Nim City saw the real sky, a sky completely unobscured by mist!
Those who were hiding in their hos looked at the clear world outside, their hearts’ fear gradually subsided to be replaced by joy emanating from the depths of their hearts.
They knew that from today onwards, the city they lived in would beco even more beautiful.
Wen Wen, who had been sitting for a long ti, stood up to stretch his limbs, then waved his hand in the air, and a pitch-black door appeared beside him.
With a gentle wave toward those True-order Masters as a way of saying goodbye,
he then stepped into the doorway and vanished into the air…
