The woman from Donghuang Heavy Industry had a strong look of shock in her eyes.
But before he could get closer to observe, he was dragged away by the tall, thin man.
In the corner, Zhong You stared blankly at the scene before him, his facial muscles beginning to twitch involuntarily.
Images of the Thunder Pool engulfing Cold Abyss as soon as he unleashed it flashed through his mind.
Lightning being fast was one thing, but why was its density so absurd, and why couldnât his pure water abilities block it?!
Why did this skill feel like cheating?
The big man from Gunfire quickly shouted, "Weâre not here to fight you, we sincerely think the armored train..."
Before he could finish, a bolt of lightning struck his mouth.
Su Huanâs form had already disappeared.
Director No. 2 looked up sharply, only to see the train conductorâs grin reaching to his ears as he charged in with wild laughter, lightning leaving radiating scars at the corners of his eyes, hair wildly flying, wielding a rapier in one hand and a long gun in the other, like a thunderous storm.
Director No. 2 felt his heart freeze for a moment.
Yet he still reacted, flicking his decorative parasol, his dress smoking as he blinked back a distance.
"Huh?"
Su Huanâs black pupils boiled with murderous intent, rapier held backward, fingers trembling, a terrifying gas vortex appearing in his palm out of nowhere, making Director No. 2 fly back like a bird with broken wings.
"Damn it!"
A shout exploded in his ear, Su Huan squinting his eyes into extremely thin slits, flipping his hand to plunge the rapier into his lower back.
The golden kite man hesitated, watching as Director No. 2 ran far before retreating.
But the electric glow at the tip of the sword instantly flickered, unexpectedly interrupting the golden kiteâs retreat.
"Thunderstorm."
Lightning engulfed the opponent.
The slender rapier pierced into the body almost silently, even without drawing a drop of blood.
Abandoning the rapier, he switched the cold blue long gun to his dominant hand, the gunâs tip aiming at Director No. 2 flashing violently in the center, the sharp whistling piercing through the thunder serpentâs hiss in an instant.
"Boom!"
The wall bore a large hole from this shot.
Director No. 2 escaped under the gun in a way Su Huan couldnât comprehend.
Instinct told him that old woman was injured.
But how serious, he couldnât be sure.
Su Huan withdrew and stood firm, his straight back like a tautly drawn bow.
"Do you also want to try my marksmanship?"
The eerie voice echoed around.
The four Tier Two Evolvers from Donghuang Heavy Industry and Gunfire were so scared that they didnât dare to move, two of them clinging to the wall like lizards, the metal objects on their bodies intermittently drawing small streams of lightning from the Thunder Pool.
Crackling onto their bodies.
Yet they stood like wooden figures, not daring to move an inch.
"Get down."
Su Huan said calmly.
They obediently climbed down, each glancing resentfully at the immobilized golden kite behind Su Huan.
A dignified Tier Two "Wandering God," didnât even last a single breath?
From start to finish, Su Huan made only one move, stabbing the rapier behind him.
Thus this battle involving several Tier Two Evolvers ended exceptionally briefly.
Everyone was terrified by Su Huanâs decisiveness and brutality.
As the conductorâs emotions calmed, the Thunder Pool quieted down.
The bluish lightning beneath his feet like moonlit pools, dreamlike and splendid.
Reflecting all angles of the theaterâs lights onto the central wild and domineering figure.
The leader of Gunfire wanted to speak, but his tongue, numb from electric shock, could only produce vague syllables.
He wasnât sure how long it would take for his tongue to recover, but he was certain that before him was likely the first major force to rise since the apocalypse, despite having only two thousand people, despite being only the size of a kilometer-long train, despite their resources being less than one percent of Gunfireâs, even a few percent...
Yet as long as this person existed, the territory the train traversed would all become theirs!
âThe struggle over Genetic Primordials wonât ease because of this battle; instead, it will become even more frenzied.â
The same conclusion appeared in the minds of all the big powers present.
Meanwhile, the woman from Donghuang Heavy Industry sincerely said, "Donghuang Heavy Industry truly has no intention to eradicate the armored train, otherwise we wouldnât have only sent the two of us. We just want to connect with forces like yours which emerged in the apocalypse, to understand the situations in other regions..."
Su Huanâs eyes shifted, suddenly shouting, "He Jie, if youâre not dead, go flatten a few of the nearby hills for me!"
The icy voice hit the water like a rock, spreading sound waves layer by layer.
Though He Jie didnât respond, the sky brightened for a moment, artillery sounds mixed with the crash of mountains, deafening.
The woman was somewhat bewildered, not understanding what Su Huanâs action meant.
The faces of the three from Gunfire, however, didnât look good.
"Feeling sorry?"
Su Huan asked.
The bearded man clutched his messy curls, lamenting, "Our vehicles are on those mountains. You have no idea how far Gunfireâs base is from here, what those vehicles mean to us."
Su Huan instinctively wanted to retort sarcastically, but seeing the earnest attitude, he said warmly, "If you head north, you can take my train."
The bearded man decisively shook his head, "No, besides watching your conflict with Black Kite, we have other tasks."
Another suddenly suggested, "The people involved are right here. Why donât we trade for some vitality-boosting mutant plants with them?"
"Idiot, can you beat him?"
"Then forget it."
The woman from Donghuang Heavy Industry immediately said, "We also want to negotiate some deals with the armored train."
"Deals?"
Su Huanâs eyes swept across.
The woman looked at the chaotic scene and those unfortunate Tier Twos from Black Kite, apologetically, "I donât have a high position in the company, only acting as a middleman to facilitate a bit. Specifics depend on your talks with our leaders..."
Gunfire and Donghuang Heavy Industry quickly changing their tone didnât surprise Su Huan.
Seeing him clearly show powerful abilities, nobody would recklessly want to fight him.
Especially, they couldnât win.
However, Su Huan still wasnât planning to show them kindness.
The stronger and more unbridled at this moment, the more straightforward they would become.
True ability lies not in how much value you can create, but in how much destruction you can cause.
The director played a nice facade, but too bad she didnât realize Su Huan wasnât buying it.
Killing them all wouldnât change things either.
Here already, whatâs the loss of two holes?
Thinking some pathetic alliance could restrain him.
As long as he remains ahead in his evolution, these people will only be left watching his back growing distant!
"Then wait for now, I have some matters to handle."
Su Huan turned, single-handedly holding the golden kite capable only of minimal neck movement, dragging him back to Liang Kuanâs side.
His one strike wasnât just a penetration wound.
It went straight through the heart, the rapier lodged against his ribs.
Only the strong vitality of a Tier Two Evolver kept him hanging.
Once extracted, without proper rescue, even a Tier Two "Defender" would perish on the spot!
"Replicate the wounds on Liang Kuan onto him one to one, but donât let him die."
Hearing Su Huanâs words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Stealthily tagging Su Huan as cold-blooded and cruel.
After finishing this, Su Huan came to face Mr. Shu.
Whether it was his sudden attack or Director No. 2âs escape, Mr. Shu remained indifferent.
Su Huan appreciated this calm demeanor.
Just whether this calm remains when it comes to paying war reparations, he wasnât sure.
Su Huan rubbed his hands together as if performing a small ritual to boost his luck before a bet, then pressed Mr. Shuâs shoulder down onto the leather sofa.
"Come, Old Shu, letâs continue our negotiation."
(After driving three to four hundred kilometers picking up relatives, those who know think Iâm getting engaged, those who donât think Iâm driving long distance freight. The taillights have dazzled my eyes to the point where I canât focus now, Iâm completely numb.)
