I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 582: Wanting a Share of the Pie

"Look, two more bald guys have shown up." As Xie Sisi spoke, indeed, two bald men appeared at the intersection, wearing the exact same clothes as the previous bald one, their expressions just as lifeless.

At this moment, the first bald man, shot to a bloody pulp by the tattooed man’s shotgun, had reached the front of the tattooed man’s car. The tattooed man hurriedly got into the car and closed the door, constantly begging for someone to save him. In the backseat, a blonde woman screamed incessantly.

"ROAR—"

Suddenly, the three bald men charged like mad, tearing at the car. The tattooed man’s car must have been bulletproof, as its body was very sturdy, but the three bald men bit into it like iron-eating beasts, slowly peeling it apart.

Watching this scene, Wang Lan’s expression turned grim. "These three bald guys are zombies... and they’re controlled by someone."

"Should we intervene?" Xie Sisi asked again.

"Intervene!"

The two donned their black cloaks with red clouds and masks, disappearing from the room in an instant. Suddenly, a streak of light flashed by. The bald man who was halfway into the car was abruptly bisected at the waist, his entrails spilling out with a potent stench of decay.

But the upper half of his body still flailed about.

Wang Lan appeared like a ghost, and the three people from the car were now beside him. Looking at the bald-headed zombies before him, Wang Lan gently raised his hand. A white light flashed, obliterating the car along with the bald-headed zombies.

The Extreme Heat Light Beam. It instantly vaporized the zombies and the car.

On the other side, Xie Sisi’s Water Sword chopped down fiercely, but in an instant, her figure shot back to Wang Lan’s side. At this moment, four figures shrouded in white Holy Light appeared right where Xie Sisi had just been.

"You shouldn’t be responsible for this area, should you? You’ve crossed the boundary," a cold voice rose, tinged with divine authority.

Wang Lan smiled faintly. "You must be the Angels from the Twelfth Sector, right? We are Dawn from the Seventh Sector."

"I guessed as much. But you haven’t answered my question: you’ve crossed the boundary."

"My crossing was permitted." Saying this, he shook the bracelet on his wrist. "This man is related to something I’m investigating. Can I take him with me?"

The tattooed man looked at Yulia and her group, his face contorted in terror. "Angel, no, I don’t want to go with them... please... save me..."

The tattooed man’s terrified reaction annoyed Wang Lan. Do we really look like bad guys?

"Why?" Yulia asked.

"At least Angels don’t kill... I’ll confess, I’ll tell you everything... Please, Angel, save me..."

Wang Lan couldn’t be bothered with the nonsense. Taking Xie Sisi’s hand, their figures instantly disappeared without a trace. Witnessing this, Yulia and her group also took a sharp step forward, but they could find no trace of Wang Lan and his companion.

A glint shone in Yulia’s eyes. After a long moment, she finally exhaled deeply. "Jade Country’s Greedy Wolf. Indeed as formidable as the reputation suggests."

Wang Lan appeared on a rooftop with the tattooed man, a mocking look on his face as he observed the man’s terrified expression. Clearly, the tattooed man couldn’t see the gentle smile on Wang Lan’s face; in his eyes, the pale white mask was the incarnation of Death.

"Why did those three zombies want to kill you?"

"I..."

Wang Lan suddenly raised his hand. To him, directly applying the Spirit Engraving was more efficient than wasting time with questions. At this, the tattooed man instantly fell to his knees, trembling, and began to speak.

"I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything, just don’t kill me... please don’t kill me... I sold a newly developed drug to a partner in the Black Brilliance Area without my superior’s permission... I didn’t know I’d caused trouble until... until I got a call from my superior. Then I understood.

"I don’t want to die. I know they won’t let me off. I was planning to leave immediately, hide in a safe house for a few days, and wait for them to relax the blockade before leaving... But I didn’t expect... their relaxation was a trap to lure me out... In the end, they still cornered me."

"Sold to a partner in the Black Brilliance Area? Is that partner named Jou’er?"

"Yes... yes..."

"Who is your superior?"

"It’s... it’s..."

"Never mind, asking like this is too troublesome. I’ll just look for myself." With that, he pressed a palm against the tattooed man’s head.

"No, please... I know you... you’re from the New Blue Government... I know... I surrender now, I surrender! I’ll go with you, I’ll follow your orders..."

"It’s too late to surrender now. We have zero tolerance for drug traffickers," Xie Sisi said. Though the tattooed man looked pitiable, those whose families had been destroyed by drug traffickers were even more so.

"But... drug trafficking is legal in St. State... What I do is a legal profession..."

"Sorry, I operate under international law." As Wang Lan’s words fell, an overwhelming spiritual power surged into the tattooed man’s Spiritual Sea of Consciousness like a tsunami. The man convulsed as if electrocuted.

By accessing the man’s memories, Wang Lan learned that the drugs had come from his cousin, who was likely already dead. His cousin was the security chief of the largest pharmaceutical company in the Twelfth Sector. On the surface, the company researched generic drugs, but in reality, it was the largest drug manufacturing factory in St. State.

After obtaining this information, Wang Lan released the tattooed man and, with a gentle push, sent him falling from the rooftop.

At that moment, Yulia and her three companions had just tracked Wang Lan to the building below when, SPLAT! The tattooed man landed right in front of them. Gazing at the tattooed man’s gruesome corpse, fury erupted in Yulia’s eyes.

With a flash of her figure, she appeared on the rooftop, blocking Wang Lan’s path.

"Stop right there!"

Wang Lan halted, turning his head slightly to look at Yulia. Star Power surged around her, and a sword formed of golden light pointed at Wang Lan.

"Why would you kill someone? Don’t you know that murder is the greatest sin?"

"Can a drug trafficker even be considered human?" Wang Lan was taken aback by the woman’s logic, staring incredulously at Yulia. How can someone so beautiful be so brainless?

"Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to a court of justice for trial. By killing like this, how are you any different from those evil people?"

"It seems we have a conflict of opinion. Since you feel that way, I can only say, you’re right." Wang Lan beckoned to Xie Sisi. "Let’s go."

"Stop! This is the Twelfth Sector. You killed someone here, and I can’t pretend I didn’t see it."

"What do you want?"

"What are you investigating?" Yulia asked coolly.

"TSK—" Xie Sisi immediately covered her mouth, stifling a laugh. "So that’s what you’re after. Couldn’t you have just asked directly instead of using such a naive excuse? I was wondering how a powerful Star Martial Warrior could be so silly and sweet."

"Firstly, murder is indeed a grave sin; I wasn’t talking nonsense. Secondly, without a legitimate reason, how could I get the answers I want? Now you have two choices. Either tell me what you’re investigating and let us participate, or I will arrest you for the crime of murder in my area of responsibility."

"Heh... You’re a bit too confident," Wang Lan said.

As his words fell, Yulia suddenly emitted a dazzling light, her aura instantly locking onto both Wang Lan and Xie Sisi.

"No one has ever been able to lock me down with their aura..." Wang Lan’s anger flared, and flames instantly wrapped around his body.

WHOOSH! Wang Lan’s figure flashed, and he threw a punch at Yulia’s incredibly beautiful face. Yulia coldly watched the oncoming fist, her bright red lips parting slightly.

"Holy Light Illumination—"

BOOM—

Wang Lan’s fist froze before Yulia, as if time had stopped for them both. Powerful energy waves rippled from his fist, seemingly twisting space itself.

BOOM—

A loud explosion thundered as a pillar of light shot into the sky.

Wang Lan and Yulia both staggered back. Wang Lan’s punch had shattered Yulia’s Holy Light Illumination, and her Holy Light had, in turn, blocked his punch. Wang Lan had already taken Yulia very seriously, even activating his Phoenix mode.

Although this punch wasn’t Wang Lan’s strongest attack, it was definitely enough to kill a Titled Strongman in a single blow. Wang Lan had expected it to at least repel Yulia, but he was surprised she had taken it so easily.

"Hmph!" Wang Lan’s fighting spirit surged, his aura erupting once more. Swept by his aura, Yulia’s three teammates retreated in horror, their faces filled with fright. Just his aura alone is so powerful that we can’t get close! How powerful is he really? Is this truly the strength a contestant should possess?

"Stop!" Suddenly, an examiner’s voice sounded from Wang Lan’s and Yulia’s wristbands.

"Team Twelve intentionally obstructed Team Seven from executing their mission. Deduct twenty points. Team Seven engaged in conflict with Team Twelve. Deduct five points."

Wang Lan retracted his aura and looked at Yulia, who stood bathed in light, with a mocking smile. "Are you satisfied now?"

"Team Seven was executing a mission in the sector my Team Twelve is responsible for. It’s only right that Team Twelve should be involved. Team Seven completed a mission in our sector; that’s unfair to us," Yulia retorted.

"This involves an inter-sector criminal gang. If you can also find an inter-sector criminal gang, you can get permission to carry out missions in other sectors. Team Twelve, please leave," the examiner’s voice replied.

Yulia gave Wang Lan an unwilling glance, then reluctantly turned and left with her three teammates.

The two secretly returned to the hotel. As soon as she changed her clothes, Xie Sisi became as clingy as water to Wang Lan.

"That Yulia, really wants to have her cake and eat it too, trying to steal our mission with such a pathetic excuse... Tsk! So shameless."

"That’s not called shameless; that’s called having a proper justification. Otherwise, how would they steal the mission? They were just unlucky to run into me. If any other team came to do a mission in my Seventh Sector, I’d make sure to snatch their mission beforehand too. After all, we’re competitors."

"Why are you defending her? Did her pretty face make your heart flutter?"

"Give me a break. I’m just being realistic. And do you think they’ll just give up? I guarantee they’ll continue to investigate secretly. After all, it’s an inter-sector mission, worth a lot of points. Also, you should go book another room. I’m about to call Xinyu and the others over."

"What’s the rush... They won’t be here for another two hours..." As she spoke, she slithered onto Wang Lan’s lap like a snake, tilting her head to look up at his chin. "I want..."
