Chapter 47: Weakness is the Original Sin
Translator: 549690339????? °
There was no other way; once a professional died, their spatial backpack would vanish without trace, and the most one could plunder was the equipnt worn on the professional’s body as spoils of war. The contents of the spatial backpack were impossible to retrieve.
Only by capturing soone alive, and then using a professional skilled in spirit control to forcefully manipulate the captive’s mind, could one slowly extract items from the spatial backpack.
Upon receiving the order from their captain, all mbers of the Shadow Stinger’s third squad imdiately entered stealth mode and swiftly approached to encircle Villa No. 12.
The captain of Shadow Stinger anwhile, wasted no ti in pulling out a scroll. He tore it open without hesitation, and instantly, a pale blue spatial ripple spread in all directions, enveloping a range of a kiloter in the blink of an eye.
This was a Fourth Order, Level 80 spatial seal scroll valued at 30 million Dragon Coms, capable of solidifying space within a kiloter radius.
Inside the solidified space, any displacent type of spatial tool would beco ineffective.
Since Zi Liyuan had previously used a spatial shift scroll to escape, they had no choice but to bring items that could block space in order to capture him.
Combining what Shadow had learned from reconnaissance at White Crane Academy, the heart of Shadow Stinger’s captain was ablaze with excitent.
A set of four Level 20 Silver Heroic grade equipnt with special skills was imnsely valuable, comparable to a tier-three blue set, and even surpassed in terms of set effects!
You should know, in the world of Blue Star, high-tier mainstream equipnt predominantly consisted of green and blue gear.
Professionals of common birth mainly used a mix of green and blue gear, while scions of ordinary noble families wore blue as a base, with a few silver pieces mixed in. Full sets of silver equipnt were accessible only to mbers of great noble families or the direct line of ordinary noble families.
One can only imagine the worth of Zi Liyuan’s low-tier silver set.
If they could get their hands on it and resell it, the captain was confident he could switch to a full set of Third Order silver equipnt!
Moreover, the silver set clearly ca from that sealed instance. If they helped the organization capture the instance, they would surely gain a huge number of Contribution Values. Later on, exchanging for a Fourth Order promotion opportunity, as long as he broke through successfully, he could also beco a high-ranking mber of the organization!
With these thoughts, the captain of Shadow Stinger sped up even more.
Zi Liyuan blew away the gun smoke from the muzzle, unconcerned about taking out a Level 1 rat with a single shot.
This ‘beating the grass to startle the snake’ ruse was deliberately used to draw this unknown organization’s mbers in, aiming to catch them all in one fell swoop.
As for those who slipped through the net at the entrance to the neighborhood, he wasn’t worried in the slightest.
Through the reconnaissance of Shadow Eye, the opposing force was closing in on his villa from four sides, clearly aiming to block his escape routes.
“Eh, why is the head count off?”
In the detection waves of shadow power, there were originally only seven targets, but now there were three more.
However, these additional three figures seed extraordinarily shadowy under the scrutiny of Shadow Eye, as if shrouded in a layer of black mist.
These three are not standing in the correct positions, they don’t seem to be with the rest.”
The newly detected three targets had not approached his villa completely, but were instead hiding fifty ters away in a blind spot.
“Damn it! To be targeted by more than one Evil Organization, can this get any more annoying?”
After his awakening and job change, he had only left the city three tis, yet he had been marked by several forces. Were these Evil Organizations just too free?
Zi Liyuan was extrely annoyed at this mont, yet there was nothing he could do about it.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, being weak is the original sin Before he could grow stronger, he had to be prepared to be suppressed by the powerful. All he could do was accumulate more trump cards and grow his strength as quickly as possible.
Hehe… Since you’ve realized you’re being monitored, you’re not thinking of escaping but have deliberately drawn us here. I wonder if you’re bold or if you’re entertaining the idea of surrendering?”
The Shadow Stinger squad entered the villa from various locations, breaking through doors and windows. After not finding Zi Liyuan in the first-floor hall, the whole team moved into the basent.
Upon seeing Zi Liyuan sitting in a chair, watching them without fear, the captain of the Shadow Stinger squad laughed and closed the iron door of the basent.
“What organization do you belong to? That assassin with the perky butt outside the city, she’s one of yours, right?”
The Eye of Shadow continuously emitted detection ripples. After a close-range scan, the levels of six of the seven people who broke into the basent were displayed in front of him, but he could only vaguely sense the leader who was speaking.
LV55, LV58, LV59, LV60, LV62, LV63, LV?? (65-75)
The feedback from the Eye of Shadow not only detected the levels of others, but it also picked up so of their equipnt information, although he could only sense the quality of the gear.
The equipnt of these people was mostly of blue quality, but the accessories were green quality. Only the fellow who was likely the leader had two silvery glows on his person.
In just an instant, Zi Liyuan had roughly gauged the strength of these Evil Organization mbers.
With his current Level 33 status following his first class change, he believed he had a fighting chance against second-order professionals, even those at the peak of Level 60, giving himself more than an eighty percent chance of winning and that was without using bombs.
But against third-order professionals, he would still be outmatched unless he used bombs to take them out secretly.
Perky butt assassin?
The leader of Shadow Stinger twitched at the corner of his eyes slightly, but thinking about the indeed perky shape of Shadow, he also murmured a few words in his heart.
“We belong to the Void Shadow Spirit Assembly. If you surrender and are willing to pledge allegiance, I, as the captain, can recomnd you for mbership.”
Of course, recomnding a genius for mbership ant rewards and Contribution Value, especially when this genius possessed so many top-quality silver items and an unknown dungeon.
As for new recruits, the recomnder has the right to dictate, and he could take that set of silver gear as a token of respect for the recomndation.
“How strong is the Void Shadow Spirit Assembly, and what are the benefits like?”
There’s no way he would surrender!
But Zi Liyuan needed information on this Evil Organization as he’d been troubled by them twice now. He must keep this grudge logged in his little notebook for a unified settlent later on.
He wasn’t the type to suffer in silence. For now, he had to take down these minions to collect so interest, and he would uproot this Evil Organization later to prevent future troubles.
“The Void Shadow Spirit Assembly is a century-old, powerful organization, with vast influence spread across the Nine Great Divine Provinces. It boasts’ hundreds of fourth-order Level too experts and even has many lords in the Sea of Realms who have beco formidable powers.”
The captain of Shadow Stinger was arrogantly proud, his tone filled with a thick sense of devotion, like that of a zealous believer.
And at this mont, Zi Liyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the captain of Shadow Stinger was like watching a hyperactive husky tearing the house apart.
What century-old legacy? Such forces were countless in the ancient Great Xia Empire.
In the vast history of the Great Xia Empire, organizations without five hundred years of developnt were not even considered ancient forces.
