Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye Chapter 373: The Sudden Arrival of the Chaotic Monster
In the core area of the Imperial Capital, at 104 Third Avenue, a luxurious villa stood. A high-end black sedan pulled up in front of the villa. The car door opened, and Sky Jas quickly scanned his surroundings with a sowhat panicked expression.
He hurriedly exited the car and made his way toward the villa's entrance, quickly entering the villa. Once inside, he slamd the door shut behind him.
"Your actions will only arouse more suspicion," ca Luca's voice from behind, tinged with a hint of teasing.
"I was just trying to prevent you from being discovered. Who knows, the three major families might have been secretly tailing the entire ti," Sky Jas replied, his voice filled with concern.
"You're the most talented remaining mber of the Jas Family. Do they not trust you?" Luca's voice was calm, but with an edge of curiosity.
"I'm just playing it safe. If the family head finds out I'm working with you, my fate will surely be disastrous," Sky Jas explained as he gradually cald himself during the conversation.
"Alright, enough about this. Let's move on. I'll take you to see the Zenith Technology Company's intel," Sky Jas said, his voice now more focused.
After confirming that the villa's front door was securely shut and there were no suspicious individuals nearby, Sky Jas led Luca deep into the villa to the study.
"All the intel is here," Sky Jas said, motioning to the piles of docunts in front of Luca.
"Take a look at these files quickly, I'm starting to feel uneasy. I have this strange feeling soone has been following us," Sky Jas urged, his tone growing more anxious.
Luca, however, didn't respond to the urgency. All of his attention was fixed on the files in front of him.
Most of the docunts provided were useless to him; the information on them was already known to him. After quickly scanning through the majority of the files, he finally found a crucial piece of intelligence.
"One of Zenith Technology Company's important laboratories was attacked by Northern Territory's Morning Star half a month ago!" Luca read aloud the sentence, his voice steady but full of gravity.
Sky Jas, who was standing beside Luca, appeared slightly puzzled.
"What's wrong? Is there an issue with the intel? I can assure you, all the information I've gathered is accurate," he replied earnestly, his tone sincere. Luca couldn't detect any signs of deceit.
In Luca's mory, however, Northern Territory's Morning Star had only launched attacks on four monster-infested locations two weeks ago.
There were also three battle locations where he had personally participated. This ant that the important laboratory ntioned in the intel was located at the fourth site where monsters were entrenched.
"Nothing," Luca replied briefly.
Since he had already reviewed all the docunts, there was no reason to stay and waste any more ti.
"Keep hiding in the Imperial Capital and continue gathering intelligence for regarding Zenith Technology Company and the major families. I will compensate you accordingly," Luca said before turning to leave.
However, just as he was about to step out of the study, he suddenly shoved Sky Jas backward with force.
Caught off guard, Sky Jas was sent flying, crashing into the study's wall before coming to a halt with great difficulty.
Sky Jas struggled to get up, his expression filled with confusion and suspicion.
Before he could open his mouth to question Luca, he suddenly felt the room was filled with chaotic energy.
Purple smoke flooded the entire study.
"What the hell is going on?" Sky Jas muttered in shock.
No one answered him.
It was as if Luca had vanished into thin air.
In this situation, Sky Jas naturally did not dare to act recklessly. He gripped his weapon tightly and remained on high alert, scanning his surroundings.
The next mont, a white beam of light shot past his face, almost grazing him.
The purple smoke dissipated, revealing a clearer view of the surroundings.
A few ters away, Luca was battling a gigantic chaotic monster, level 70, wielding the Starseeker, which radiated a white light.
The battle had already destroyed almost all the furniture inside the villa.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help !" Luca shouted, though his voice was laced with urgency.
Although Luca was incredibly powerful and had reached level 70, even he found it difficult to face a level 70 monster alone before completing his second professional change.
Moreover, the fight was taking place in the heart of the Imperial Capital. If the battle caused too much noise, it would attract a lot of attention.
Luca didn't want his movents to be discovered by anyone else.
So, as he fought, he also made use of his advanced skill, Dreamweaving Mist.
Dreamweaving Mist enveloped the area surrounding the villa.
Everyone within the range of Dreamweaving Mist fell into a deep sleep, which is why the ongoing battle remained undetected by others.
At Luca's prompt, Sky Jas quickly launched an attack on the monster. Although his strength wasn't particularly impressive, he was still able to pose a significant threat to the monster since it was being occupied by Luca.
The joint attack from the two of them left the monster unable to defend itself.
The battle didn't last long before the monster decided to turn and target the weaker Sky Jas first. Naturally, Sky Jas had no chance against a level 70 monster. He could only run in circles to avoid the monster's attacks.
On the other side, Luca finally had the opportunity to fully unleash his power. He retracted the Dreamweaving Mist that had been surrounding the area and activated the radiant magic runes embedded in his body.
With the enhanced power of the Starseeker and Obsidian weapons, a violent flash of light surged toward the monster, accompanied by a large wave of Dreamweaving Mist.
The intense flash of light heavily wounded the monster, and the Dreamweaving Mist followed closely, putting the monster into a state of unconsciousness.
The level 70 monster was thus subdued by Luca.
However, Luca didn't intend to kill the monster directly. If such a high-level monster were to be killed on the spot, it would certainly cause a massive disturbance.
He glanced at Sky Jas to assess his condition. Once he confird that Sky Jas had suffered serious injuries but that his life wasn't in danger, his worry eased sowhat.
"It seems your intuition was correct. The monster that had been following us was this one. I'll take responsibility for dealing with it," Luca quickly said before leaving with the monster in tow.
After resting for a while, Sky Jas struggled to his feet.
"So, this ss is left for to clean up alone? I'm really starting to regret teaming up with you," he muttered, though it was clear he wouldn't back out of the cooperation with Luca. After all, he had already fully betrayed the Jas Family. If he were to betray Luca too, there would be no way out for him.
Sky Jas could only gather his strength and quickly begin to restore the villa to its original state. Though the villa was his secret hideout, and usually no one visited, he couldn't afford to take any chances. If any mbers of the three major families showed up unexpectedly and discovered the abnormality in the villa, it would be very difficult to explain.
While Sky Jas was cleaning up the battlefield, Luca took the unconscious monster to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
He was now more than ten kiloters away from the defensive magic array of the Imperial Capital. The area was desolate, with nothing but ruined buildings surrounding him.
Here, he could finally take a closer look at the monster's condition.
The level 70 monster appeared to be a massive octopus, with nurous tentacles, each adorned with a multitude of eyes. During the battle, these eyes emitted purple smoke continuously.
From both its appearance and battle style, the giant octopus-like monster seed to be a servant of Zenobia. However, Luca felt that if it truly were Zenobia's servant following him, Zenobia herself would have shown up in person by now.
"You definitely don't have much to do with Zenobia. Let delve into your dreams and see who sent you to follow !" Luca muttered to himself as he took a deep breath.
Focusing his mind, he entered the monster's dream world.
Although this was dangerous, it was the fastest way to obtain valuable intelligence.
The monster's dream was chaotic and disorienting, with absurd and bizarre scenes passing by in rapid succession. Amid the many strange images, Luca suddenly ca across one that seed very familiar.
In this scene, there were nurous experintal devices from Zenith Technology Company. Two people wearing lab coats were engaged in a heated argunt. The lab coats they wore clearly belonged to Zenith Technology Company.
This indicated that the monster had been sent by Zenith Technology Company.
The dream world soon collapsed entirely, and Luca was pulled out of it.
"It seems I underestimated Zenith Technology Company's threat," Luca murmured to himself. "The destruction of the Dragon Gate Mountain laboratory must have caught their attention. Sky Jas had previously investigated the secrets of the Dragon Gate Mountain laboratory, and that must be the reason why Zenith Technology Company has been targeting him."
Luca quickly pieced together all the clues. The threat of Zenith Technology Company was becoming increasingly apparent. He felt that he had to hurry to another known Zenith Technology Company laboratory.
"Sky Jas is indeed in danger right now, but I shouldn't warn him. If I do, it will only make Zenith Technology Company pay more attention to him," Luca thought carefully before deciding not to alert Sky Jas.
On one hand, he didn't want to draw any more attention from Zenith Technology Company to Sky Jas. On the other hand, he didn't want to cause Sky Jas to panic. If Sky Jas learned that he was being watched by Zenith Technology Company, he would likely fall into a state of extre anxiety. Every move he made would beco increasingly erratic.
Having made his decision, Luca took the unconscious monster back to the 102 Shelter. He had decided that he would kill the monster there and conduct further analysis of its origins. After all, Professor Leipoder was at the 102 Shelter and could provide additional expertise on the matter.
