Doomsday Roulette

“Her? You want to deal with her?”

Mr. Wen and the others were taken aback.

Due to the extensive business of the Five Rings Society and the Ogre Chain throughout the country, these foreigners had heard a bit about these two forces.

Knowing this, they naturally did some research, and the conclusions they reached made them adopt a cautious attitude.

They understood that the Five Rings Society had five powerful leaders, and this Water Steward was one of them.

Even during the previous phase, it was said that although the name of the Five Rings Society remained unchanged, one of the leaders was eliminated by the other four working together, swallowing up his wealth.

Now, with four remaining leaders, each one was naturally stronger.

There were even rumors that the Water Steward and that Tong Steward had successfully evolved into eight-star evolvers.

If it were any other force, such rumors would be closely scrutinized for truth, but with the Five Rings Society, even people from foreign districts believed them to be true.

There was no denying that these business organizations were extremely wealthy.

With wealth, they could acquire everything; while grade 8 magic crystals were something other people had to risk their lives to hunt for, the Five Rings Society reportedly had dozens just from purchases alone.

It was even possible to luck into two bottles of eight-star evolution potions.

Everyone knew that the Water Steward was powerful, but who had ever seen her in action?

No one had.

To put it in the words of a novel, those who had seen her had all died.

In other words, everything about the Water Steward—her profession, skills, equipment, combat methods, etc.—was entirely unknown.

Faced with such a powerful and mysterious woman, no one was willing to fight her; the uncertainty was simply too great.

Now, Alamos had voluntarily taken on this battle task, which eased everyone's mindset a little.

At least, this time, Alamos set an example.

There were only a few tough bones to chew, and now someone had picked one first.

To ensure the plan went smoothly, all these tough bones had to be dealt with.

“Well then, I’ll also… go deal with the Ogre Chain’s Ruan Xiao.”

Compared to the Water Steward, Ruan Xiao of the Ogre was more low-key and pragmatic.

Even during this meeting with Ye Zhongming, he only exchanged simple greetings without being overly friendly, sparing Ye Zhongming the awkwardness of facing both the Water Steward and his competitor.

This made Ye Zhongming have a much better impression of him.

But just like the Five Rings Society, the Ogre Chain also had some reputation in foreign districts; many knew that Ruan Xiao was the regional manager, and the most important one at that, so his strength was certainly not to be underestimated, likely an eight-star evolver like the Water Steward.

Such a person was undoubtedly one of the tough bones.

When the foreigners saw that two tricky individuals had someone voluntarily choosing to face them, they felt more at ease, their gazes circulating on the other screens in the light barrier, clearly selecting their own targets.

Targets that could lead them to victory.

“Hey, where is this? Why is it all dark?”

An old foreigner pointed at a spot on the screen, asking Alamos, who was looking displeased at Wen Yan.

The old foreigner angrily shifted his gaze, glancing at that location before saying unhappily, “This is the Ten Thousand Beast Manor. Don’t you know there’s a beast pool equipment there? Because it houses numerous life forms, it was also absorbed into the Spartitu space. However, battle beasts do not count as consumed energy since they all stay in the beast pool equipment, so it doesn’t show up on the light barrier.”

Everyone finally understood; so it was like this.

Just thinking that this beast pool might contain Li Daqian’s grade 8 colorful giant bear, as well as that terrifying battle beast—Chisel Fang, sent shivers down their spines.

Especially the latter; it had always ranked first on the battle beast leaderboard in the China district, and they certainly didn’t want to provoke it.
