Chapter 303: Chapter 273 Unified Front
A few wild boars with red and black patches ascended the podium, followed by a red wild boar who picked up the microphone and said heavily
âThank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to honor us with your presence, the Beast Tamers clan is immensely grateful.â
At this point, the one-meter-three bearded dwarf jumped up onto the table again and shouted loudly
âWhereâs Perry? Why isnât he out yet? I heard someoneâs gonna hit on you guys, is that true? Whatâs going on? Why call us here?â
Hearing this barrage of questions from the little dwarf, the red wild boar could only helplessly respond
âYes, I just received word that Dada Companyâs convoy has left the base and is heading towards Las Vegas, and those demonized natives are also with them; dozens of Pioneers, over two hundred natives, all heavily armedâŠâ
âŠ
Upon hearing this, the guests present at the scene were all abuzz.
âWhatâs going on? Why is Dada Company targeting you?â
âHave they gone mad? Can they even contend?â
âDada Company isnât weak in terms of combat strength, and theyâre able to bring out so many people to confront you. Thatâs their companyâs core strength.â
âYeah, with so many natives nowadays, itâs no big deal to pull together a group of people, but itâs rare to gather this many for such a desperate move.â
âThatâs not all, is it? Thatâs why you called us here, right? Whereâs Mister Perry?â

ââŠâ
The red wild boarâs words surprised the guests, but none of them took it too seriously.
The Beast Tamers clan had now garnered their full support, with little regard for a mere Dada Company.
With so many forces banding together, who would dare act rashly?
Anyone blocking the path of their profit-driven caravan would be crushed!
However, at this moment, the red wild boar speaker had a bitter taste in his heart.
He was one of the core members of his clan in the new Development Zone.
He knew exactly what Perry and Hairy had gone out to do.
It was he who had arranged for a spy to deliver the news.
Then the two set out, fully armed, to ambush a lone Pioneer.
Because the ambush victim was related to Floating City, it was best to keep the affair as discreet as possible; they chose only the two of them to make the attack, and to be certain, had even deployed Perry, the invincible pillar of the new Development Zone.
As a result, they disappeared without a trace for several days!
Meanwhile, a spy reported that the ambushed target returned to base bruised and battered, visited the two of the Suns, and left with a ghastly pale face, seemingly having been reprimanded and punished.
Putting these events together.
It was over!
They had initially harbored a shred of hope, waiting for Perry, the King, to return.
An ambush failure wasnât the end of the world, as long as life was preserved!
As long as one was alive, all was well.
But soon afterwards, the main family in the real world was notified; the Abyss didnât care, but they were not to bring disputes into the real world!
Well, that confirmed it.
Perry and Hairy were no more.
Although it was unclear how it had been done, there was no doubt it was a tremendous loss for the Beast Tamers clan!
Even for a power like the Beast Tamers, a regular senior partner had considerable status, to say nothing of the fact that, in order to gain a foothold in the new Development Zone, they had poured vast resources into Perry.
Now it was all for naught!
âIâm sorry to say that Perry was ambushed and assassinated, and is now dead,â said the red wild boar, sighing heavily, shocking everyone present.
âWhat? Perry is dead?â
âIs this a mistake?â
âCanât be, right? Who was it?â
âDada Company?â
ââŠâ
They were already incredulous when they heard that Dada Company was coming over with a bunch to stir up trouble.
But now Temor suddenly blurted out the news of Perryâs demise!
This is just too exaggerated.
This is none other than the top power in the new Development Zone!
The strength of senior Pioneers is impressive, even when compared with the older generation.
âWhat exactly is going on?â
Gant, who had previously been an observer clad in a gray robe, couldnât help but frown and step forward.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Inner City Council hails from their family, and they are also the leading power among the many forces in Inner City. Initially, it didnât really matter to them, but now with someone killed, especially someone like Peri, a top combat force from the Inner City in the new Development ZoneâŠ
He couldnât just pretend to be unaware.
âWell, the cause of the matter is actually somewhat related to our familyâŠâ
The red boar sighed. Right now, there were no other eyewitnesses to how it happened, but the bigwigs from Floating City had said that as long as issues are settled within the Abyss and not brought to the real world, itâs acceptable, so he also utilized the most common tactic of influential families: manipulating public opinion.
ââŠI mean, we originally advised them not to breed Aliens, to avoid competition. Their Beast Taming skills are also not on par with ours. They agreed, which was a consensual matter. If they hadnât agreed, they could have just discussed it with us.
âEveryone knows that our family has always believed that monopolies donât lead to prosperity. We strive to grow stronger collectively. They agreed to this on the surface, and we thought the matter was resolved. But when their major shareholder returned, he deceptively lured Peri out for an ambush, resulting in massive losses for us.â
The red boar said, amidst sobs and sniffles.
However, despite a few below exclaiming âThatâs too much!â and such, the majority remained quietly attentive.
Crying foul? Sure, thereâs some element of empathy in it, but this is the Abyss weâre talking about â thatâs the norm!
Death can come to anyone!
The truth of the matter is uncertain, and only given from one side, so naturally, they wonât take sides easily.
âBecause we knew their major shareholder was a direct subordinate of the two senior figures from the Suns, and this base was discovered by the Chosen One, who has reaped many benefits, our family head sought guidance. The powers that be have made it clear that as long as the matter doesnât spill into the real world, anything goes in the Abyss.â
It must be said, this red boarâs ability to stoke disputes was rather strong. Most of what he said was true, but the slight alterations he made at key points changed the implications entirely, without speaking an outright lie.
To reassure allies, he even highlighted the relationship with the bigwig and the initial protection provided for completing tasks, invoking a hint of past favors.
But that was the extent of it!
Yet, even this was not sufficient. He paused, then continued,
âTherefore, our family head has decided to offer half of the shares in the new Development Zoneâs breeding rights as a reward. We donât want anyone to kill him, after all, since the bigwig doesnât care, we canât be insensitive.
âWhomever can make Dada Companyâs major shareholder apologize, admit his wrongs, return Periâs body, and kneel in repentance at the memorial, ensuring no further enmity with our Beast Taming family, will receive this source of income. And everyone present can bear witness!â
Who would do something without a benefit?!
In fact, the Beast Taming family would prefer to keep this share for themselves, but thereâs no other way; their pillar, Peri, is dead!
Theyâve also offended a top fighter within the new Development Zone capable of killing in unknown ways.
If they were to be remembered with a grudge, it would inevitably lead to even greater losses.
Given the circumstances, itâs better to cut off the limb to save the tree, to offer up the spoils in search of protection!
Right now, those at the scene capable of meeting these demands are simply the few top-notch forces, or a couple of slightly lesser ones choosing to join together.
The previous acknowledgment of guilt and return of the body are minor issues; what matters most is the importance and difficulty of securing protection.
Outwardly, of course, they couldnât talk of fighting or killing, to maintain the bigwigâs dignity.
But the best solution for permanent peace behind the scenes is to ensure the offender never has the chance to seek revenge!
These matters were to be settled in private, after the meetingâŠ
It wasnât that no one at the scene saw the Beast Taming familyâs predicament.
Yet, they likewise couldnât turn down such a beneficial opportunity, their eyes glittering with greed.
Soon enough, someone stood up and declared righteously,
âDamn it! How despicable to ambush and kill a talent like Peri over such trivial matters.â
âThis is outrageous! They act so brazenly under the protection of the Floating City bigwig!â
âHmph, discovering the base and being the Chosen One is a great feat, but this gratitude is being eroded by their actions.â
âWhich of us doesnât have the backing of powerful figures?â
âHeh, maybe in the future we should just stop the competition and show off our backgrounds instead.â
âExactly, the bigwig has stopped caring about his life or death, so weâre free to do as we please.â
âThis is what comes of being pampered and overconfident. Now that theyâve presented themselves on our doorstep, let me, Wentai, resolve this conflict!â
ââŠâ
What had started as an unenthusiastic gathering instantly turned into an uproar, filled with righteous indignation.
