Chapter 611: Chapter 385: Life and Death at Will!
(Congratulations to the new helmsman “Huang Ji Yi”! This chapter combines two into one big chapter.)
The young waiter’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, the shock was forever frozen on his face at this scene.
No one saw when the huge figure’s left hand appeared in front of the waiter’s neck.
The hand, gleaming with a metallic chill, grasped the waiter’s neck.
As the waiter still wore a look of astonishment, the left hand gently exerted force.
A cracking sound, the breaking of the windpipe, resounded.
The light in the waiter’s eyes gradually dimmed, and his body instantly slackened.
“How foolish, how could I possibly be one of your low-level assassins?”
A faint voice emanated from behind the mask, as if merely lifting a hand was an insignificant matter.
Casually throwing the waiter to the ground, the massive figure took steps forward.
The rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed in the dark corridor, and the figure gradually disappeared.
When he turned another corner, he finally entered the underground courtyard.
This was another world, not smaller than the Sparrow Bar, but there were only three people, who were looking at him with strange gazes.
One, wearing a cartoon mask, had likely just received a mission.
Another, a small mustachioed man in a black vest and a bowtie, wore a metal mask that covered his upper face.
And then there was an old man in a tattered hat, sweeping the corner.
The eyes behind the Andumari mask gave a bland sweep.
Hmm, such tranquility is indeed extremely rare outside.
“Who are you?” the mustachioed man asked.
Yet, the massive figure didn’t bother with him but casually looked around.
“The assassin union’s headquarters being hidden is one thing but why does it look so shabby?” a slight mocking tone emitted from behind the mask.
Yellow eyes gazed at the mustachioed man, devoid of any kindness.
“Your looks suggest you are not from my assassin union?”
“I’m not interested. I’ve come to discuss something with your leader.”
At this moment, Andumari noticed the assassin with the cartoon mask preparing to leave and lifted his chin, “Leaving before the discussion is over is very impolite.”
The assassins’s cold eyes swept over Andumari, a light snort came from behind the mask, but he continued on unabated.
“Really troublesome.”
His right hand swiftly raised and fell, the assassin, sensing a hint of danger, leapt with a fierce motion.
A flash of cold light.
Buzz!
A Snake Blade vibrated as it embedded into a nearby tree trunk, swaying back and forth.
The assassin’s arm just lifted froze mid-air, he looked down in disbelief at his abdomen, a thin line of blood surfaced, he tried to speak but no words came out.
Then, his upper body suddenly slid diagonally from his waist, and blood mist sprayed instantly, turning the leaves above the assassin red.
This incident occurred in the blink of an eye, frightening the old man sweeping in the corner to immediately sit down on the ground.
The mustachioed man’s eyes glinted with a cold light, his hands now holding an Alloy Crossbow, its sharp arrow pointed at the giant in front.
“You’re one of Solomon’s, what brings you to our assassin union?”
Andumari waved his hand nonchalantly, “No need to be so tense, I just want to speak with the leader of the assassin union.”
“I am the one in charge here, Chaoguang, what is it!”
“Not honest, ah, you’re just a puppet on the surface. I’ll say it again, I want to speak with the leader, this is your last chance.”
“I am the leader! Do not overstep.”
He violently raised the Alloy Crossbow in his hand, unknowingly the trigger being pulled.
A flash of cold light passed by.
Boom!
A huge burst of flames lit up.
The towering flames engulfed the giant in front.
“””An explosive crossbow arrow!”””
“””Annoying indeed.” Suddenly, a dark figure burst out from the flames with a violent momentum, its right hand, huge and open, with shimmering metallic fingers, directly clutched onto the little mustached man’s head.”””
“””Then pressed him against the wall.”””
“””Like a watermelon smashing, blood and brain matter exploded directly on the wall.”””
“””The little mustached man’s body limply fell down.”””
“””24-level physique? Fragile as paper.”””
“””After shaking his right hand casually, Andumari turned towards the corner, “Lord of the assassin union, the master puppeteer behind the scenes, Mr. Kazuma, how long do you intend to enjoy the show?””””
“””His gaze abruptly turned to the shivering old man.”””
“””Enough, stop pretending. My time is valuable; I don’t have time to waste on your nonsense.”””
“””As soon as he finished speaking, the originally hunched old man gradually stood upright. His blazing gaze fixed on Andumari, “What sort of person are you from the Solomon to have such detailed knowledge of our assassin union?” “””
“””Andumari’s voice held a hint of laughter. “That’s more like a puppeteer, I am Andumari, have you heard this name before?” “””
“””Shock filled the old man’s eyes, unnoticed his shoulders trembled slightly.”””
“””Of course I know… it’s actually… a Lord Knight of the seventy-two Gatepost Knights! May I ask, Lord, what brings you to our assassin union on Blue Capital Star?” “””
“””Looking for some information. You’ve seen this man before, haven’t you?” Andumari took out a Sky Communication device and lightly pressed his finger.”””
“””A three-dimensional hologram popped up, revealing the headshot of a middle-aged man.”””
“””My capable subordinate, Soashre, took a job from you and then died.”””
“””Died? But that doesn’t mean you should come to our assassin union!” Mr. Kazuma closely inspected the 3D hologram, quickly matching the face to registered information in his mind.”””
“””Of course, I wanted to ask who his assassination target was.”””
“””I don’t know.” Mr. Kazuma shook his head.”””
“””Heh… Don’t bother with those lies; I’m only asking who it is. Without that information, you are completely worthless.” A cold voice emitted from the giant’s chest cavity, causing a humming sound in the room.”””
“””Mr. Kazuma silently stared at the giant figure towering like a bear.”””
“””Seeing how the old man was sizing him up, Andumari snorted and shook his head, “You’re calculating the power disparity between us, thinking you could take me down in one fell swoop? Heh, you’re welcome to try.””””
“””I don’t…”
When the elder spoke again, he only managed two words.
In the blink of an eye, the giant figure who had been standing still seconds before appeared in front of him with a furious energy.”””
“””Mr. Kazuma, startled, tried to retreat; however, that metal hand clutched his neck and slammed him hard against a nearby tree.”””
“””The cruel yellow eyes stared down at the real leader of the assassin union, an eerie voice whispering close to the elder’s ear.”””
“””This is your last chance, choose your words carefully. Just a local union of assassins— who gave you the audacity… to defy Solomon!” “””
“””Feeling the increasingly tight and chilling sensation around his throat, “””
“””Mr. Kazuma had no doubt that the next second Andumari would kill him.”””
“””I… will talk, cough cough.” “””
“””The metallic hand finally released his throat, and Mr. Kazuma gasped for air, reaching into his pocket.”””
“””That incident occurred a month ago, the target’s information is here.” A device the size of a palm was held up, his thumb swiftly revealing the relic’s release data to Andumari.”””
“””Andumari’s empty left hand took the tablet-like device.”””
“””His eyes locked onto the information displayed clearly before him.”””
“””Name: Mu Fan”””
“””Gender: Male”””
“””Age: 17″””
“””Affiliation: Dingchuan Academy”””
“””Physical Features: …”””
“””This was a reasonably clear photo, taken without the subject’s knowledge.”””
“””The young man was dressed in casual clothes, hands in pockets, his face carrying a faint smile.”””
“””17 years old?…”””
“””Andumari’s voice carried a hint of confusion.”””
“Lord Andumari… This is all the information we have; it’s also the information released by the client. Naturally, we do not know the identity of the issuer as the process is completely anonymous.”
Mr. Kazuma’s face was filled with sincerity at this moment.
Eyelids drooping slightly, Andumari responded indifferently, “A small-time assassin union, and I thought you could be tougher. Since you’re backed by the Blue Capital Star government, why did you release the information this time?”
After speaking, he fiercely pulled the grey-haired president toward himself.
Facing the cold mask, Mr. Kazuma couldn’t utter a word, his face flushed red. He only hoped that this grim reaper would leave soon, for even without his terrifying mecha, the lord of the dark forces had seemingly boundless personal strength.
Solomon’s shadow, after years of absence, once again enveloped his heart.
“What a disappointment you turned out to be.”
At the end of his words, Andumari’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
A sense of imminent danger overwhelmed him, a premonition of death approaching. Mr. Kazuma’s muscles tensed in an instant, struggling to break free.
However, a soft grunt sounded from behind the metallic mask.
Under the cruel gaze, Andumari’s right palm, covered by hand armor, suddenly exerted force.
Mr. Kazuma, with his Level 23 physique, couldn’t resist for even half a second, as the metal-covered fingers plunged into his throat like knives.
Blood flowed between the fingers, and Andumari quietly watched the bloody scene within his palm. Mr. Kazuma’s eyes, wide open, seemed to silently question him.
“Heh… No reason, I just felt like killing someone.”
With a slight release of his grip, the chairman of the Blue Capital Star assassin union lay dead on the ground, his body slowly growing cold.
Crouching down, Andumari placed his right hand on Mr. Kazuma’s corpse, rubbing it repeatedly.
Only when he could no longer see the blood on his palm did he stand up satisfied and begin to walk back.
In the quiet, dark courtyard lay three bodies—no, there was a fourth on the corridor.
The sole culprit of this scene was nonchalantly walking away.
As his figure was about to vanish into the corridor,
“Ah, seems I forgot something?”
The mechanical brace on Andumari’s arm gently clicked, and a spherical metal ball fell into his palm.
Pressing gently, the metal ball split into two halves from the middle.
Drip, drip.
The timer was set to 60 seconds, and the countdown began.
Then, the massive figure disappeared into the corridor, the metal ball thrown casually behind.
The metal ball rolled along the paving stones, stopping only when it hit the body of a man with a small mustache, its red numerical display still ticking down calmly.
The secret door opened again, and the massive figure emerged from the winding corridor. The security personnel at the Sparrow Bar were already well accustomed to such scenes.
One side didn’t ask, and the other side had no interest in explaining.
Thus, Andumari left the bar nonchalantly.
Clang, clang, as the heavy steps reached the exit of the underground black market.
Suddenly, a loud bang erupted, a scorching blast and a great fire surged from beneath the ground.
Those standing on the surface felt the ground shake.
Yet the cloaked, massive figure didn’t pause at all and boarded the spaceship under the respectful gazes of his subordinates.
Looking at his wristwatch, “Heh, 9 minutes, not overtime.”
Everyone around him bowed their heads, none daring to respond.
Panic began to ensue in the underground black market, countless people surged toward the surface, numerous aircraft began to take off.
Amid the chaotic landing pads above ground, this shabby-looking spaceship ascended, unnoticed by anyone.
Inside the command room, Andumari had already thrown his cloak aside, his massive body covered in metallic armor sitting in the designated seat.
He casually handed the tablet he brought out to someone beside him, “Check this person’s data.”
“Yes.”
His subordinate respectfully took it and immediately began importing all data about Solomon’s hunting target.
Moments later, a well-built subordinate ran up and whispered in his ear.
“My Lord, we’ve found him. The target is currently at the Land of Bright Star on Blue Capital Star, participating in the mecha combat competition. He has won three consecutive matches and is the dark horse of this competition. The related information has been imported; you can choose to view it.”
“Oh? A competition organized by those hypocrites from the Mecha Association?”
Andumari’s originally sleepy eyes suddenly released a sharp gleam as his fingers tapped the control screen in front of him.
Images appeared one after another.
A Black Extreme Special Soldier performed a stunning airborne assassination… hurling back a horrific purple energy ball… holding a gorgeously extravagant long spear, along with the five hundred meter long spear shadow…
The footage finally froze on an image of a foot crushing the skull of a mecha.
Andumari suddenly let out a cold laugh, followed by a deep laughter echoing through the entire command room.
“No need to investigate anymore, Soashre must have died by his hands. Only this level of skill could have killed Soashre without letting him send out a signal.”
“Star Map Relic? Hmm…”
“But this time, I only want to kill.”
Andumari’s final robust voice declared the result of his thoughts, “Return to course. The fleet prepares to head to the Land of Bright Star. Strangling Demon Snake mecha enters battle readiness.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Watching the youthful, vibrant face in front of him, a bloodthirsty and cruel glint flashed through his yellow pupils.
Federation, Mecha Association, I’m coming to stir up some fun for you.
It’s been so long since I was active, my body is almost stiffening up.
Hehe~
The dilapidated flier ascended higher and higher out of the atmosphere, until it disappeared from sight.
…
“Loki Heavy Industry’s Sudden Rise”
“The First Dark Horse in History”
“Astounding! That Sky-Piercing Spear”
“Mysterious Weapon, Powerful Mecha”
“Kill after Kill, How Far Can This Mecha Go?”
By the next morning, Nuonuo’s eyes were already completely red and swollen. Her Sky Communication device displayed densely packed news headlines.
Nuonuo couldn’t believe that the media was so generous with their coverage of a company that hadn’t even made it into the top 32.
The swarming interview invitations almost made Nuonuo’s eyes cross.
Mu Fan’s body, leaning against the wall, was shaken awake by Nuonuo’s delicate pale hands.
“Lord, Lord, you’re famous. The Extreme Special Soldier is famous. Our Loki Heavy Industry is famous too!”
The girl’s face appeared exceptionally cute, flushed red.
Seeing Wang Nuonuo seemingly revitalized in an instant, Mu Fan grinned and stood up, stretching lazily.
“That’s not enough. The Extreme Special Soldier needs to make it into the top 32.”
“But the current situation has already far exceeded my expectations.”
“Let’s allow the excitement to continue then.” The young man glanced at the quietly standing Extreme Special Soldier in the hangar, beneath it lay the exquisitely crafted metal long box.
“Mu Fan, the Meteor 3 engine of the Extreme Special Soldier is minimally repaired, but this time you must limit the power of the FI force field. I don’t want to risk our lives like last time,” Black whispered in his ear, Mu Fan nonchalantly acknowledged with a grunt.
“All 71 contestants, please bring your mechas to the deck of the Sky Mother Ship, the Throne Contest will start in 60 minutes.”
“Please 71…”
Suddenly a broadcast came through in the hangar, Mu Fan and Nuonuo exchanged glances, then he said with a smile, “The competition is about to start.”
“Good luck, my lord, be careful.”
“Don’t worry, with Flame Rain Frost Blue so formidable, I won’t lose, right?”
Flashing a smile, Mu Fan flexed his muscles and walked towards the Extreme Special Soldier.
As the pre-game announcements were made on the Sky Mother Ship, the audience seated in advance could hardly contain their excitement.
When they saw the mechas appear one by one on the deck, the entire spectator stand erupted, frantically cheering for their supported factions.
After this morning, out of these 71 mechas, only 36 of the strongest mecha bodies will remain!
The thrilling nature of this interval goes without saying.
White Hair and the others watched intently from above. Seeing the black figure appear, the chubby one jumped up with a roar.
