Chapter 248: A Chance of Survival
Translator: 549690339
Starlight Club.
Wang Cheng was a B-class transformation-type superpowered man who had been on Candy Island for almost five years.
He used to be a soldier who fought on the battlefield. After he retired, he became a member of the Glory Group.
The Starlight Club was a property under the Glory Organization.
Every day, successful men from all walks of life on the island would come to this money-spending cave to enjoy themselves.
There were women in the Starlight Clubhouse who had voluntarily fallen into the dust, and there were also young girls who had been sold by their families to pay off their debts.
This place wasn’t like the inland, because the outermost defense lines were facing immense pressure from the mutated beasts. The officials didn’t have much experience in strictly controlling these things among the people.
Moreover, the difficulty of managing an island chain was different from managing a continent. There was a natural barrier between each island, which could easily bury some unknown sins.
The sirens of the fire truck blared as it passed through the street. Wang Cheng asked a purple-haired underling, ‘”What’s the situation outside?”
The purple-haired underling went out to ask around and came back to inform his boss, “”Brother Cheng, there’s a ranch on the island that caught fire. The owner of that ranch is a regular here. ”
Wang Cheng lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.”Oh, is it that fatty with a strong taste?”
“Yes, it’s him. Every time he comes, he smells like sheep. ”
Wang Cheng smiled and patted his lackey.” After this fire, he won’t be able to come anymore. Are you afraid that he’ll smoke you again?”
The lackey chuckled.
At this moment, the screams of women and the curses of customers suddenly came from the clubhouse.
Wang Cheng frowned, thinking that it was another blind person who was causing trouble.” Go and take a look. If it’s not a big problem, solve it. Remember, protect our lady well. Throw out all the blind guests. ”
Purple Hair nodded and went downstairs.
Although Wang Cheng didn’t agree with Starlight Club’s behavior of forcing good women into prostitution, he was only a Class B superpowered person. His words were not important, and he couldn’t change anything.
Moreover, he needed this sum of money to support his family.
Over the years on Candy Island, he had gotten married and had a son. His son was already two years old.
He could only choose to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing that would make him feel indignant when he was young.
After about five minutes, the commotion below did not stop. Instead, it became more and more intense.
Wang Cheng sighed. Recently, these underlings were becoming more and more useless. He had to personally take care of such a small matter.
However, when he went downstairs and turned a corner, he found that the lower half of the purple-haired underling’s body had been burned to ashes. His dead upper body was still in a climbing position, and his eyes were filled with despair.
“Not good, the club was attacked by an ability user! ”
Wang Cheng adjusted his breathing. Various cheetah characteristics appeared on his body: vertical pupils, fur, fangs, tail…
He didn’t continue to walk up the stairs. Instead, he nimbly jumped to the hall on the first floor. Not far away, he could hear the sounds of other underlings fighting.
Wang Cheng did not pay any attention to his lackeys on the ground, who were on the verge of death. He turned into a black shadow and silently swept toward the masked man who was controlling the smoke at the exit.
“Which organization is he from?”
But no matter who you are, you have injured so many of my subordinates, so you must leave your life behind!
Wang Cheng roared and bit at the silver-masked young man.
After transforming, his teeth could easily tear through steel, let alone a human neck.
Augusta sensed an unusual ambusher behind him. He knew that a tough one had arrived. Those Starlight security guards from before had been completely unable to retaliate under his smoke. They had been completely massacred by his Esper Ability level.
However, the leopard man who was coming for him this time was probably a B-class superpower possessor!
“Sister, you run first!”
Augusta had already told his sister where he had hidden the money. Even if he died here today, he would be willing to save his sister from the Devil’s Den.
The money collected from the rancher was enough for her sister to leave Candy Island and start a new life.
“Ota! ”
Wearing a short skirt and black stockings, Ufemia was pushed out of the club’s door by her brother’s tyrannical strength. She rolled a few times on the street and had slight bruises on her body.
When she got up, she saw the leopard man nimbly dodge her brother’s gray fog attack and finally bite his neck.
The two of them fell to the ground at the same time. They were blocked by the marble, and it was impossible to see what happened in the end.
However, the girl had an extremely uneasy premonition.
She rushed to the old devil’s den and shouted her brother’s nickname,””Ota!
Ota!”
As his elder sister called out, Augusta used one hand to push away Wang Cheng, who was biting his neck.
At this moment, Wang Cheng had already returned to his human form. A large hole had appeared on his body because of the smoke.
His eyes were filled with confusion, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible before he died.
Augusta rubbed his neck, his heart still trembling with fear.
Just now, he thought that he was dead for sure. Who knew that the leopard man would suddenly freeze before biting his neck? This gave him an opportunity to use the high-temperature smoke wrapped in his hand to smash through his chest.
Who helped me just now?
However, it was obviously not the time to think about these things. He quickly picked up his sister and left the scene. The surviving guests discussed animatedly.
“Could it be a vendetta?”
“Who on Candy Island has the guts to provoke the Glory Group?”
“Do you think that the Island Master and the higher-ups of the Glory Group have fallen out?”
“No, no, I heard this kid call that girl sister. The cause of this incident should be something else. ”
“I’ve called this little sister before. I think her name is Eufemia. I heard that she does have a younger brother, but her younger brother is obviously an ordinary person. How could an ability user sister become a prostitute?”
“This mysterious man’s masked style reminds me of a mysterious organization-Judgement. Do you think there is a relationship between the two?
“What relationship can there be? There were plenty of people wearing masks, but they shouldn’t be talking about Judgement. The people from Judgement were at least Class A, right?”
“But no matter what, the Glory Group has lost all their face. They will chase after this pair of siblings regardless of everything. ”
There were even some brave people who recorded videos and planned to post them on their WeChat Moments to show off. They were out to sing with their little sister, but they had encountered such a big battle, and a Class B superpowered person had even died!
Although Yang Xi could kill S-class superpowered people as easily as killing leeks, even in the Four Seas region, B-class superpowered people were existences that ordinary people had to look up to.
In the Qian family’s territory.
Yang Xi and the Vermilion Bird watched Augusta carry his sister as they ran through the streets.
Just now, it had been the Vermilion Bird who had attacked. At the most crucial moment, he had used his Psychic Energy Stab to attack the leopard man, causing his final attack to be ineffective. He had been killed on the spot by Augusta, a newcomer to the Adept world.
If not, Augusta would have been killed by Wang Cheng a hundred times over.
Yang Xi felt that the subsidiary consciousness Vermilion Bird knew him too well and was sometimes too boring. Vermilion Bird basically knew what he was thinking. Otherwise, at this time, he could still show his presence a little and command from afar.
“Do you need me to find you a summoned creature with an independent will?” the Vermilion Bird asked considerately. ”
Yang Xi shook his head and skipped the topic.””This time, the organization is giving Augusta the last bit of help. The Glory Group is quite powerful on Candy
Island, and with his strength, the chances of him escaping are very low. ”
He suddenly recalled that in his previous settings, he had left Augusta with a chance of survival.
If Augusta’s luck was good enough, he would be able to rely on the power of his organization to escape even if he didn’t interfere.
Of course, this required too many coincidences. If this kid could really meet them, then he deserved to occupy a place among the experts of the four seas in the future.
Luck and fate were sometimes very important.
The Vermillion Bird seemed to have left. In Yang Xi’s perception, a new tool had appeared in the White Tiger Palace Hall.
“This Tiangang Plan seems to be getting more and more interesting.. “
