From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 367 - 265: Harvest, Sniper Rifle, Commanding Will
Chapter 367: Chapter 265: Harvest, Sniper Rifle, Commanding Will
As life swiftly drained away, Modred died with a reluctant roar, releasing a cluster of Origin Quality.
Seeing the concentration of the Origin Quality, Lu Heng recognized it immediately—it was Third Transition Origin Quality.
[Shadow Knight] was a Third Transition Class, and Lu Heng had suspected from the beginning that this Class had not fully fused within him.
Third Transition Origin Quality was extremely rare at this stage; even with the Planter family backing him and their inexhaustible wealth to purchase resources, completing the fusion of the Third Transition Class was not possible at this time.
Lu Heng stored the Origin Quality without choosing to absorb it.
The [Shadow Knight] Class was highly valuable, and might still be of use if kept.
Moreover, absorbing this Origin Quality now would not achieve 100% fusion.
He decided to wait until he found enough Origin Quality to absorb all at once and complete the Class fusion.
...
013 Black Crow watched helplessly as member 021 of the organization was killed, and by 028 no less, which worsened his expression.
"You actually killed him? I already told you his number was 021."
Lu Heng glanced back at him and said coldly, "Don’t speak to me in that questioning tone, or I’ll crush you too."
This statement, too, was context appropriate.
However, the ’crushing’ Lu Heng referred to was the literal crushing of the heart position of the dark crow, which could indeed be done by hand.
013’s tone grew heavier: "This is already the second member of the organization that you’ve killed."
He didn’t count Hasegawa Tom and Alex Austin, because those two were only invitation targets and had not officially joined the organization.
Also, he didn’t count Derek Wolf, because, as of now, the Creator Organization did not know who had killed Derek Wolf, assuming that 027 was responsible.
Furthermore, the first dark crow killed by Lu Heng was not included either.
If the invitation targets were counted, Lu Heng had already eliminated six members of the Creator Organization, enough to form a basketball team with one reserve.
Lu Heng’s lips curved into a dangerous smile, "Then you’d better remind the other members of your organization not to reach towards Da Xia. To interfere with my people on my turf and expect me to turn a blind eye, you are dreaming."
013 fell silent.
The incident indeed started because the Round Table Knights reached out to Da Xia, even attempting assassinations and threatening Quenching Masters there.
And Lu Heng was Da Xia’s highest-level Quenching Master, controlling the biggest Quenching Market.
The actions of the Round Table Knights touched Lu Heng’s piece of the pie.
If he was to tolerate that, then it would be reasonable for Lu Heng, coming to the Lion Heart Empire, to touch the interests of the Round Table Knights.
Originally, the Creator Organization would not intervene in battles of interest between great powers. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
This time, because Modred was a member of the Creator Organization, 013 had shown up.
Lu Heng’s actions were also reasonable, since the Round Table Knights dared to assassinate Quenching Masters in Da Xia, they must bear the consequences.
Clearly, Modred bore the consequences, but he couldn’t handle them.
If he had won this battle, the Quenching Market of Da Xia would have belonged to the Round Table Knights.
That was the simple reality.
In an era where strength reigned supreme, methods of resolving issues became very direct.
The one with the bigger fist held the truth.
...
013 knew he couldn’t pin the blame on Lu Heng, and so, he changed the subject: "When can we get the flesh cells of Derek Wolf?"
This was a mission given by 013 during his last appearance.
Lu Heng responded coldly, "Stop ordering me around. Last time, I gave you the Sikes Technology data because you dealt with the Soul Capturing Monster threat. Don’t expect me to do anything for you without a satisfactory deal in the future."
Furthermore, actually, it was 027, or Xie Shi’en, who had resolved the Soul Capturing Monster crisis.
Interestingly, Xie Shi’en was not a member of the Creator Organization.
Meaning, the one who helped Lu Heng resolve the crisis of the Soul Capturing Monster was not the Creator Organization but Xie Shi’en.
At that moment,
Lin Zeyu’s voice came through the communication channel: "I got a new rifle, want to try and see if it can blow this birdman away with one shot?"
While he spoke, he was already aiming at 013 through the scope.
013 was spiritually powerful and had a beast’s special sense of danger, so he sensed the threat.
"Sure, next time we meet, I’ll give you a satisfactory deal," 013 said as he spread his wings, transforming into a black crow and flying into the sky.
Lin Zeyu’s aim followed upwards, steady on the target.
"Should I shoot?"
"Never mind," Lu Heng finally decided to let the dark crow go.
If he killed a dark crow every time, after numerous instances, the Creator Organization would certainly notice something was amiss.
This time, eliminating Modred was reasonable; there was no need to silence 013, so he could let him go.
After eliminating Modred and Ghost Sniper Harris Bob, the trio led by Lu Heng left the Capital of Lion Heart Empire and boarded a plane back to Coastal.
...
In a vineyard in Manchester, a noble lady used a pair of scissors to cut a bunch of grapes from the vine, placing them on a tray held by a servant beside her.
This noble lady was Margaret, a current key figure in the Planter family.
If judged solely by her appearance, she didn’t look her over-sixties age, appearing no more than in her forties.
The maturity of a sixty-plus-year-old and the appearance of a forty-year-old gave her a composed demeanor that contradicted her looks.
At that moment, a middle-aged man resembling a butler came in and bowed respectfully: "Madam, an incident has occurred with the Round Table Knights, Modred is dead."
