In the Imperial, a lone wolf doesn't an a solitary wanderer; they can be organized, with the main characteristic of having no family ties.
Having no family ties ans no bonds, and they can act without restraint.
"Farr?" Qu Jianlei shook his head. "I've never heard of this person, do you have any information on him?"
"I brought it back," Shitou nodded, thinking he had done a decent job today.
But in the next mont, his eyes narrowed. "This, I only have his portrait, but... this seems to be his head."
He saw the Earth Attribute A-level corpse, and his expression changed slightly. "He actually ca here?"
"Four people, all taken down by ," Qu Jianlei stated blandly. "They set their eyes on my courtyard, which is a bit strange."
"It definitely wasn't !" Shitou instinctively replied, reacting quickly, "My family is here too!"
It might have been you who led them here! Qu Jianlei expressed serious doubt, you're always running around carelessly, do you know how reckless that is?
In his eyes, Shitou wasn't suitable for intelligence work, not just because of a lack of experience, but also weak awareness of self-protection.
However, his suspicions weren't sothing he felt appropriate to express openly. "In any case, we got discovered first."
Shitou didn't argue, "My family... are they okay?"
"They're fine," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, "I made arrangents in the courtyard."
"That's good," Shitou breathed a sigh of relief, showing no suspicion whatsoever.
He indeed was a broad-minded man, and thinking of the Bursting Arrow's confidence, it didn't seem like a facade.
"Boss, you could take down the Farr, your strength is truly impressive, admirable... what about the other three?"
Qu Jianlei led him to find the other three bodies, asking casually, "Was the Farr from Celestial Hook Star too?"
"No," Shitou shook his head, "He mainly operated in Celestial Blade Star and was a high-ranking mber of the Celestial Woe Survivor Organization."
The Celestial Woe Survivor sounds like a lawful or neutral organization, but it's actually leaning towards chaos.
This organization prides itself as Celestial Sorrowers, believing the world owes them, and whatever they do is right.
In essence, they're lawless lunatics, acting on their whims with hardly any bottom lines.
However, it's said that a Supre might appreciate them, thinking they are true to their nature.
The Farr was one of the leaders in the Celestial Woe Survivor Organization, holding a very high status and acting ruthlessly.
He was also the closest to a Supre within the Celestial Woe Survivors, and his companions had high hopes for him.
An organization with a Supre, of course, becos quite different.
His nickna "Farr" doesn't an he's inherently skilled at farming, even though he has an Earth Attribute.
What this nickna truly ans is that he's the type who prospers with but perishes against .
Wherever the Farr passed, nothing grew—unless you were a crop that could yield profit, you might be an exception.
Although Shitou wasn't well-inford, he had long heard of the Farr.
He mostly felt that the Celestial Sorrower Organization operated so domineeringly, he needed to learn more to avoid unnecessary troubles.
He had already gathered the Farr's portrait—technically this was classified, but it wasn't difficult for him to find out.
However, he never dread that on this rainy night, he would see the Farr's head.
"Boss, do you have any use for this head?"
Qu Jianlei didn't answer but indicated, "Identify these heads for ."
Shitou saw the Wood Attribute A-level head and was taken aback again, "Is it Heart Erosion? This is my forr teacher."
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei frowned, looking at him blandly, are you tired of living?
"Just a teacher," Shitou was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands, afraid of being misunderstood.
He was well aware of how formidable his teacher was, and soone capable of killing him was certainly beyond his ability to contend with.
He then hurriedly explained further that this person originated from Celestial Sharp and later moved with his whole family to Celestial Hook.
During his ti at Celestial Hook, he worked at the Awakened Managent Center, taking on many students.
This teacher-student relationship wasn't very close, but calling him a teacher wasn't wrong either.
Heart Erosion had a perverse nature and acted viciously; he got the na "Heart Erosion" because he poisoned the Vine Technique.
It was ntioned before that so believe the Poison Attribute is a mutation of the Wood Attribute, although it's not an authoritative viewpoint.
Nonetheless, Wood Attribute Techniques are indeed relatively easy to add poison to, which is an indisputable fact.
The poison effect on the Vine Technique by Heart Erosion wasn't great, with a very low success rate.
However, although the critical hit chance wasn't high, it did occur a few tis.
His research results spread and provoked dissatisfaction among so powerful Awakened, who thought engaging in such research was rather lowly.
Why not crush with sheer strength? Neglecting to enhance one's strength and pondering petty tricks tarnishes the Awakened's reputation.
Later, he had a quarrel with his family and killed them in a rage. The official investigation concluded that this guy had a ntal illness.
Then he went to Celestial Blade, occasionally visiting Celestial Sharp Star, though he rarely returned to Celestial Hook; it remained a place of heartbreak.
There was a rumor that later, Heart Erosion also joined the Celestial Woe Survivor Organization.
This was just a loose organization, not lacking in those with a perverse nature; having him was no more, and not having him was no less.
The reason Stone talked so much was also to show Qu Jianlei that Heart Erosion's appearance had nothing to do with .
Both of them are mbers of the Celestial Sorrower. They should have co together. Who would want to deal with people with ntal issues?
After saying that, he cautiously asked, "Sir, are you A-level?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I generally don't like being too flashy."
"But..." Stone hesitated before asking again, "Did you kill these two by yourself?"
To be honest, he really couldn't believe it. He knew perfectly well how troubleso Heart Erosion could be.
And the farr, don't even ntion him. At the peak of A-level, was planning to challenge the Supre.
Stone himself was Earth Attribute; he knew very well how formidable A-level peak Earth Attribute defense could be.
Yet this farr... actually had his head chopped off by a Gold Attribute A-level?
He could accept killing these two one-on-one, but to kill them both in a one-versus-two fight, that was no ordinary difficulty.
Even if they couldn't win, wasn't one of them able to escape?
"Just a few small fry," Qu Jianlei replied effortlessly.
He didn't think it was a big deal, "There was also a B-level guy who actually snuck into my courtyard."
Stone walked up to the B-level one and took a look, his face slightly changed, "Water Monkey... darn, he's one of the Iron Blood Brotherhood."
Killing mbers of Celestial Sorrower doesn't matter; that organization's people generally do as they please.
Even though they act freakishly, most of the ti they just work in collaboration, and the likelihood of revenge isn't high.
But the Iron Blood Brotherhood is different; this group has common interests and is relatively tightly organized.
If a mber is hard and the group doesn't react, it would not only dishearten their own people but also make them look down on by outsiders.
By all accounts, there's a very high possibility they would seek revenge.
"Hmph," Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, flashing a blade and directly chopping off the other's head.
"You..." Stone was stunned for a mont and then gave a bitter smile, "With this, there's no room for maneuver anymore."
Qu Jianlei heard this and snorted coldly, "Maneuver... they don't deserve it!"
He chopped off the three people's heads, not because he was bloodthirsty, but because he didn't want to expose his Spiritual Attribute.
But in Stone's eyes, this behavior was downright abnormal. He gathered his courage to ask, "These bodies..."
Qu Jianlei squatted down and searched for a while, finding three Storage Talismans—two from the farr.
Then he took out a bag and put the three heads in it, "Deal with the rest yourself."
Stone's teeth made a chattering sound, obviously unable to control his fear, "Ho-how... how to deal with them?"
"You decide," Qu Jianlei opened the SUV, dragged the Modified Warrior who died by gunshot off the vehicle, and sat in it.
"I'm going to cremate these three heads."
Stone hesitated for a mont and spoke, "Their heads are on the bounty list, especially the farr's head, it's worth quite a bit."
Qu Jianlei was startled at this, "They've been put on bounty yet they still dare to run around?"
"Private bounties," Stone replied in a deep voice, "and they often use fake identities."
"You can make a video," Qu Jianlei took out those two heads, "Cremating them is part of our ceremony."
"Ceremony..." Hearing these words, Stone didn't say anything more.
There are so many Awakened organizations in the Imperial, not to ntion ceremonies; even dissecting Awakened ones for research isn't uncommon.
On the Celestial Hook Star, there are plenty of waste incineration plants as well. Qu Jianlei found a furnace and threw the bag directly in.
When he returned to the small courtyard, it was already past two in the morning.
Stone was still there, and the other kids were also awakened by the previous commotion, only a few very young ones had fallen back asleep.
Stone seed to have discovered the Defense Array in the yard, and his gaze towards Qu Jianlei grew more peculiar.
"Boss, what now, should we move sowhere else?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "No need, you go notify the Iron Blood Brotherhood, I want an explanation."
Stone's brows furrowed tightly together, "For an explanation... are you really planning to go to war with them?"
"They've bullied to this point," Qu Jianlei casually answered, "If I don't react, they'll think I fear them."
Then he glanced at Stone, "You're just the ssenger; it shouldn't affect you, right?"
Stone hesitated for a mont and then gave a bitter smile, "Running errands is just doing this kind of thing, isn't it?"
Qu Jianlei looked at the room where the children lived, "You can evacuate the people first."
Stone shook his head and replied expressionlessly, "It's no use, relatively speaking, here is more secure."
Qu Jianlei felt the helplessness from the other side and could only shrug his hands, "Sorry for dragging you into trouble."
My physique... is really sowhat indescribable.
Is it interesting to talk about this now? Stone gave a bitter smile, then gathered his courage to ask.
"Sir, what was the enmity between you and the farr and Heart Erosion?"
