Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 552 - 550: Three Factions

Mayed was born in Detroit, Michigan, mingling in the underworld, belonging to the type of assassin who has no problem doing anything as long as the other party is willing to pay.

From stabbing to being stabbed, he has very rich experience.

In his view, this is an era where diversity is emphasized in everything, purely doing one job often isn’t as strong as doing two jobs, especially for assassins.

This identity can grant those rich people a joy different from other men.

Not all assassins can manage such diversified business strategies as he does.

Mayed has an unusually pathological craving for money, and he’s also extraordinarily stingy.

He just enjoys the sense of satisfaction from the balance in his bank account constantly rising.

He usually knew he was doing a lot of evil, but he didn’t believe in gods or Buddhas, so he wasn’t afraid of the karma often talked about by the world.

When some strange and curious occurrences in the Different World and miracles were discovered by people, it also somewhat influenced Mayed’s thinking and made him choose to believe in Buddhism.

The reason for not believing in God is very simple.

That is, he thinks God’s commandments are too many, he got knowledge about Buddhism from a Chinese person, especially liking the phrase ’lay down the butcher knife, become a Buddha on the spot’.

According to the explanation by that high monk, as long as he lays down the butcher knife after killing, he can become a Buddha on the spot, then kill again, lay down the knife again, in cycles, so that he can kill without any mental burden.

Of course, becoming a Buddha depends on the devotee’s piety.

Mayed understood the high monk’s hint, immediately paid a check large enough to bankrupt himself, then wiped out the monk’s whole family, recited Amitabha, and took back the check he sent.

The feeling of relief at that moment let Mayed know that believing in Buddhism was truly the right belief for him.

Believing in Buddhism, he should certainly be blessed, right?

Mayed was thinking about these matters as he swiftly traversed through the forest, moving lightly like a bird spreading its wings, as agile as a monkey leaping among the trees.

Along the way, he could see other people.

But Mayed didn’t continue to attack, he wasn’t some murder maniac, without profit, he wouldn’t kill randomly.

If there were profit, he could mercilessly cut open the belly and take out the fetus of a pregnant woman.

Mayed quickly arrived at the place where the lightning struck, landing on a tree branch, quietly looking outside.

The lightning had stopped, turning a piece of land into scorched earth, and lying in the center of the scorched earth was a tall creature, snoring like thunder.

How unbelievable that the dense lightning couldn’t even interrupt this guy’s sleep?

Mayed’s breathing slightly heavier, was that a Monster?

He stared at the massive creature in the field, with blood-red skin, a pair of huge horns, a ferocious face, with two gigantic white fangs exposed.

Loud snores emitted from its thick lips.

Demon?

Mayed didn’t believe in God but had some understanding of Demons and Satan, common characters in films and TV dramas.

This one’s appearance looked very similar to a Demon, could this place be Hell?

Mayed pondered, scanning the surrounding scenery again, feeling that it didn’t quite fit the Hell depicted in films.

Forest, blue sky, can this be called Hell?

As he was perplexed, the snoring suddenly stopped.

"Ah, time’s up."

The loud voice echoed in the air, in Mayed’s eyes, the Demon slowly got up, grabbed a nearby upright Wolf Fang Club, and shouted in a certain direction: "Now it’s time to destroy the city in the east!"

He shouted, his eyes were two flickering orange-red flames, "Don’t just stand there watching, anyone wishing to be under my command step out boldly, I will grant you power.

Those unwilling to submit, just try your best to escape!

After crushing the city in the east, I’ll drag each one of you out of the forest, tear your bodies apart, hang your heads on my waist as a belt, hahaha!"

Hearing the declaration, Mayed, after a brief thought, swiftly jumped down from the tree.

He believed that the first one to go out had a great chance to be favored by the opponent.

"I am willing to submit to you!"

Mayed shouted, running forward quickly.

The scorched ground felt somewhat soft under foot.

The Demon stared at him, from the fiery pupils, a beam of fire quickly separated and fell on Mayed’s body.

At that moment, he felt the fire burning his body from outside to inside.

"Ah!"

Amidst the screams, Mayed’s body rapidly transformed, his previously pitch-black skin turned red, the scriptures written on his skin seemed to be oozing blood.

Poof, a throbbing pain in the temples, consequently a pair of curved horns burst out.

His eyes also burned, dancing with flames, "Ah!"

Mayed let out a roar, punching the ground, a rumbling sound occurred.

The dense cracks like spider webs spread around, extending hundreds of meters.

Such powerful strength was something he, as a human, could never possess.

Witnessing this scene, numerous figures swiftly darted out from the forest, loudly proclaiming their willingness to submit.

Some stayed, naturally, some chose to leave quickly.

...

David left the place.

He could see that the creature ahead was clearly not anything good.

Thinking about the direction that creature indicated, David quickly made up his mind to head to the eastern city to report.

He returned to the original place.

After all, bringing two ordinary people, it’s not good to head to such a dangerous place.

"I went to the place where the lightning struck and saw a creature that looked very much like a demon recruiting subordinates.

Many people with encounters similar to ours agreed to become his subordinates, being transformed into creatures like him, gaining terrifying power.

His goal is to destroy the eastern city. I want to go there and warn the people of the city to be careful." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

David quickly recounted what he saw truthfully and asked, "What do you all think?"

"Naturally, become his subordinate!"

Leo shouted, he didn’t care if the other was a demon, as long as he could give him power, even if he was a demon, he would kneel down and kiss his toes.

He hurriedly ran there, seemingly afraid that if he was a little late, David would stop him.

David did not do so, his eyes turned to the remaining three people.

Aozawa nodded and said, "I will also go to the city in the east."

Mary and Jenny also nodded quickly, saying in unison, "We will also go to the city in the east."

Compared to the suspected demon-like creature, sticking by David’s side gave them more peace of mind.

"Alright, time is tight, let’s each carry one and run there quickly."

"No problem!"

Aozawa nodded.

In this instance, he divided the people into three factions.

One is the Demi-Demons, another is the human city.

The third faction neither joins either side, wandering outside waiting to die.

Aozawa temporarily belonged to the human faction.

He quickly picked up Jenny, and compared to the young Mary, this adult woman was obviously better developed, and carrying her was more comfortable.

...

East, outside the woods.

David saw a tall city wall, built firmly with what appeared to be very strong rocks, as high as several people stacked on top of each other, with numerous arrow slits tightly arranged on the wall.

There was also a moat around the outside, or perhaps it was more fitting to say a protective city lake, with a width of about forty or fifty meters.

The city and this side were connected by a wide stone bridge.

David looked at the shadow on the wall, a bit far away.

He squinted his eyes and could determine that the other was human, so he quickened his pace and ran forward.

If the showdown was between two similar-looking creatures, which side should he help?

David fell into hesitation in his heart.

Between humans and monsters, which side should he help?

The answer was obvious, David would surely help the human side.

Apart from them, there were nine other people darting out from the dense forest, also rushing towards the fortress.

Of course, their starting points were different from David’s.

For these bad men, they didn’t mind becoming subordinates of that big guy, yet after thinking about it, they believed that the eastern city that could contend with that guy might hold something better.

Villains also have different levels. Low-level villains go around causing trouble, fearing others aren’t aware they are villains, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

The villains who could run here were high-level, besides being ruthless, they also had the advantages of being bold and meticulous, armed with a gamble of turning a bicycle into a motorcycle mentality.

These people chose to defect to the eastern city.

As they went their way, they did not interfere with each other, directly rushing under the city gate.

David looked up and shouted towards the top, "Hello, I have an urgent matter to report to you."

There was no response from the soldiers on the wall, only a general with armor different from the surrounding soldiers stopped his patrol steps.

His stature was not tall, with chestnut hair and brown eyes, his gaze firm and courageous, leaving no doubt about his strong will.

"General, we have important information!"

Another white man, Eni Corea, shouted, directly categorizing the group into one team and attempting to take the lead in speaking.

The general leapt down from the tall city wall.

A thudding sound rang out, the general’s armor clanged with a collision sound, his eyes swept over the thirteen people present, hand gripping the sword hilt, he said in a low voice, "Are you monsters?"

"Of course not, we are humans."

Before David could reply, Eni seized the opportunity to speak first, he knew very well that first impressions were important, and whoever the other side thought was the team’s commander, they would be willing to listen to them first.

The general said expressionlessly, "If you’re human, why do none of you have a heartbeat?"

"What?!"

David quickly touched his chest, his face full of shock. He hadn’t noticed it before and only after the general’s reminder did he realize he had no heartbeat at all.

What was going on?

A large doubt flashed in his mind, David only felt his limbs were ice-cold. Could it be someone released some colorless, odorless poison inside the mansion while he was asleep, or directly blew him up?

A series of death scenarios flashed in David’s mind.

The heavy wooden door suddenly opened.

"Welcome to Veda."

An elderly voice wafted over.
