Chapter 540 The cauldron has gotten a little larger

While the director was momentarily stunned, Ren Xiaosu took out a cell phone and snapped a picture of the corpse on the ground.

However, Ren Xiaosu did this without attracting any attention. He would switch to a different cell phone after completing a mission with one. He absolutely did not use the same identity to receive the reward twice.

After all, the cell phones he had just stolen today were taken from B and C-rank hitmen. It would already be very impressive for these “hitmen” to kill a member of the Pyro Company. If he killed too many of them, it would easily arouse the suspicions of the Anjing House.

However, Ren Xiaosu did not realize this would give a false impression to the Anjing House. The mission dispatcher thought there were still a lot of their people left on the battlefield, and they felt terrific about it!

The mission dispatcher asked on their frequency, “How is everything over there? Have you guys killed those amphibious monsters yet?”

Vanilla loosened his tie. “Soon.”

“Alright, don’t worry, our hitmen on the battlefield are all very impressive. There’s still a lot of them, and they’ve killed many of the Pyro Company.”

Vanilla heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Have you seen Boss?”

“No, Boss went out into the wilderness to intercept the Pyro Company’s reinforcements by herself, so she can’t make it over,” the mission dispatcher said.

Vanilla whistled. “The boss is amazing!”

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was about to leave after he finished taking photos to search for his next target. However, someone caught up to him and said, “Bro, can you give me your contact info? My name is Mu Wan’ge.”

When Ren Xiaosu turned around, he saw the director from earlier. The moment he came to speak to him, Ren Xiaosu was reminded of something he nearly forgot about. Rather than asking the director for his gratitude, he retrieved the film roll from the crew’s equipment and destroyed it.

After all, the film crew had been filming really close to him earlier, so who knew if their camera had captured his image?

Mu Wan’ge was stunned. “My film…”

“Hm?” Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at him.

Mu Wan’ge immediately stopped talking about the film roll. “Um, can I invite you to star in my next movie?”

The main reason for this invitation was that the figure of Ren Xiaosu slashing his saber kept replaying in his mind. As the director was really into the visual arts, he found the scene from earlier spectacular.

However, Ren Xiaosu looked at him with a puzzled expression before turning around to continue searching for his target.

Invite him to act in a movie? What bullshit!

Besides, it was still a question whether this director would make it out of here alive.

…

At this moment, an injured A-rank hitman was fleeing for his life with a member of Dusk pursuing close behind.

As the rustle of his footsteps on the grass and his heavy breathing amplified, the A-rank hitman could no longer hear the surrounding gunfire and shouting on the chaotic battlefield. He had never felt so tired before.

He just wanted to lie down in the grass and fall into a deep sleep forever, without having to care about these struggles for fame and status.

However, his pursuer behind him was still getting closer. He still did not want to die!

Just as the Dusk member was about to catch up to him, he suddenly heard a scream behind him. The A-rank hitman turned around and saw a hooded young man slicing the main artery of the enemy’s neck in an instant. The Dusk member did not seem to have a chance of fighting back at all in the face of this young man, with even his ceramic saber easily severed in half.

He wanted to go over and thank him, but he saw another figure in a white mask emerging from the side and snatching away the Dusk member’s body.

The A-rank hitman was stunned. The reward had been snatched! Before he could say anything, the young man who saved him was already running far away in pursuit of the figure that stole the reward.

From the beginning to the end, the A-rank hitman was left absolutely confused. He did not even know who had saved him!

…

Another A-rank hitman was pursuing a lone Dusk member who had been shot and would not be able to run far. Seeing that he was about to qualify for the trials next year, a hooded figure in a white mask suddenly dashed out from the vicinity and knocked out the Dusk member he was pursuing. Then the hooded figure turned around and ran away carrying the Dusk member!

The A-rank hitman was stunned by the turn of events unfolding before his eyes. Before he could even react, the shadow clone had already run far away.

“Fuck!” The A-rank hitman was furious. It was not easy for him to find this lone Pyro Company member, yet he had been robbed of a kill just like that?

…

An A-rank hitman had just ended his battle, and the corpse of a Dusk member was lying in front of him. Just as he was about to snap a picture to complete his mission, a figure in a white mask suddenly rushed out.

The A-rank hitman raised the gun in his right hand and fired, but his opponent’s target was not him at all!

When he saw the figure in the white mask speeding by, the A-rank hitman fired another two shots in a row. However, his opponent seemed completely unscathed.

The A-rank hitman was getting a little flustered. Why did he have to encounter a “monster” that was not afraid of bullets in this place?!

But just as he stepped back and prepared to use his superpower, his opponent ran far away.

When the A-rank hitman looked down, he discovered that the Dusk member he had just killed… had disappeared.

The A-rank hitman stared at the shadow clone’s receding figure as it left. “What the fuck…”

He could not understand why his opponent was not hunting his own targets and had to come steal his prey even though he was clearly so skillful. It even felt like he was invulnerable to attacks!

How nasty could he get!

Throughout, Ren Xiaosu played the good guy while “Old Xu” took the blame.

In any case, Zheng Hongning, who knew that Ren Xiaosu and “Old Xu” were friends, was probably fleeing back to the black market right now. Since Zheng Hongning and the others did not have any interactions with the Anjing House and the Pyro Company, Ren Xiaosu was not afraid of anyone finding out about his scheme.

But so what if they knew? He had already stolen the corpses anyway.

Similar incidents like this happened frequently on the chaotic battlefield. Ren Xiaosu had wanted to take a few more corpses, but the Zhou Consortium’s troops had suddenly surrounded the battlefield.

Although there was a rather loud commotion when the Pyro Company blew up the East Lake Tunnel, the Zhou Consortium apparently feigned ignorance about it. They did not care at all about how many people would die here.

It was not until the forces on the battlefield were indistinguishable from one another that they finally arrived.

Even amid the chaos on the battlefield, no one wanted to face the regular army of an organization. The garrison force in Stronghold 73 had at least 4,500 soldiers, which represented an entire brigade’s strength.

No matter how powerful a supernatural being was, or how reputable the criminals were in the underworld, it would be impossible for them to take on a brigade.

Moreover, everyone was very sure by now that there wasn’t any laboratory data in the East Lake Tunnel, so why would they still stay around?

The Pyro Company and the Anjing House were the first to withdraw. Ren Xiaosu felt that the Pyro Company had gained a slight upper hand in this conflict.

Although the Pyro Company had suffered greater casualties than the Anjing House due to Ren Xiaosu’s presence, not too many people would be willing to take part in the conflicts between the Anjing House and the Pyro Company in the future.

The Anjing House could no longer take advantage and garner support from other forces!

Ren Xiaosu also pulled out of the battlefield. But throughout the battle, he had several doubts on his mind. First, he never saw any of the Riders enter the battlefield, and second, he did not encounter his old acquaintance, Wang Congyang.

Did Wang Congyang die in the tunnel?

No, how could someone like Wang Congyang who was such a terrible person enter the East Lake Tunnel rashly?

Ren Xiaosu had a feeling that this battle in Stronghold 73 would continue. After all, the Anjing House and the Pyro Company still had energy to spare. However, this had nothing to do with him anymore. Since he had captured a member of the Pyro Company like he wanted to, he would head back and let Zhou Yingxue complete her mission.

It was not that Ren Xiaosu did not want to stay, but that he could not continue staying.

After all, he had stolen too many of the Anjing House’s cell phones and snatched all of the targets from the A-rank hitmen. Furthermore, he also killed a lot of the Pyro Company’s members. Once the other parties gave these matters a think when the chaotic battle concluded, they would realize all the things he had done.

At that time, it would not be surprising if the two organizations teamed up to hunt down “Old Xu.”

The surface of East Lake had calmed, and it was sparkling in the moonlight that shone down from above.

After the chaotic battle was over, it was as though no one cared about the hundreds of lives buried overnight at the bottom of the lake.

Actually, what more people were thinking about was whether there was really a Pyro Company research laboratory in Stronghold 73.

…

Xu Xianchu, who was far away at Fortress 178, was pondering his superpower. Next to him, Zhou Yinglong snapped at him, “Put away your cauldron already. Why do you keep showing it off?!”

However, when Zhou Yinglong realized that Xu Xianchu looked startled, he quickly said, “I was just kidding.”

However, Xu Xianchu asked, feeling puzzled, “Do you think my cauldron just got a little larger?!”

Zhou Yinglong thought that Xu Xianchu was showing off to him again. “Get lost!”
