He changed his identity and, with the Transformer’s talent, kept disguising himself as others. Alone, he could slaughter any family or even annihilate some smaller official organizations.
But the process of transforming was just too disgusting.
If not necessary, Brian simply didn’t want to do it.
To hold out until the end of the one-month period,
the two of them finally compromised. Enduring the pain, they were carried into the Ancient Castle by the medical team from the Night Demon Organization, preparing to grit their teeth and bear it – paying the price for their earlier grandstanding.
After taking care of these nuisances,
Brian was about to act polite, straighten his glasses, when he remembered he had crushed them.
He awkwardly spread his hands and said to the others, "Folks, to avoid some unpleasantness, just stay here quietly from now on, okay?"
The temporary team leader who’d teamed up with Susan before shrugged, "No problem, we were planning on that anyway."
He didn’t know yet that the members of the Original Sect had fled.
Another member from the United States Federation sighed,
"Originally, the Original Sect had a base in London, but when we coordinated with the Night Demon Organization for a raid, Susan killed them all. The remaining clues all pointed outside of London.
We’re just a temporary combat team. According to the treaty, we don’t have law enforcement rights outside of London, plus there’s quite a gap in performance with those ahead of us, so continuing with the mission seemed pointless."
Brian was somewhat helpless; didn’t that mean his previous act was for nothing?
He sighed, pulled out a pair of iron nails from his pocket, and with a ferocious smile that left everyone speechless, said, "Sorry, I didn’t know about this. Since I can’t get high performance points, I’ll have to ask all you seniors to leave now, otherwise, I can’t guarantee making the top three."
They silently drew their pistols.
If they were destined to be eliminated, they didn’t mind breaking the rules and shooting dead this lunatic in front of them.
Even several members from the United States Federation were speechless.
Susan’s violence seemed friendly compared to this pretty boy’s crazy logic.
The temporary team leader who’d teamed up with Susan stretched out his hands and said helplessly, "Brian, right? Don’t be rash, this is too outrageous. If it doesn’t work out, negotiate with the Night Demon Foreign Affairs Department, see if you can come to an agreement..."
The others nodded in agreement.
If it weren’t for this guy’s alarming speed and the Nail Shooting Skill at close range being comparable to an automatic rifle, plus all the large trees around and the fact that using their guns would be a violation, nobody would want to waste time on this bug-abusing lunatic.
Seeing he had achieved the desired effect, Brian nodded, "Okay, contact the Foreign Affairs Department. If it works out, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I’ll attack daily. In five or six days, sending you away from the camp shouldn’t be a problem."
With that, Brian vanished from their sight.
a call came through on the satellite phone Brian had specifically been equipped with before setting out.
He answered the call.
Kanchef’s voice came through, tired and resigned, "Brian, what are you trying to do?"
Brian stood on the cliff’s edge, letting the sea breeze hit him, and spoke in an even tone, "I’m a man of rules, either give me a free slot to obtain rare resources or I’ll eliminate everyone and take the slot myself."
"That’s not within the rules!"
"I haven’t fired a gun, nor caused them to lose any limbs or organs, what’s against the rules?"
No one expected that Brian would have a Nail Shooting Skill at close range akin to an automatic rifle.
If others fired back, they’d be breaking the rules.
If they didn’t, they’d be awaiting to be turned into pin cushions.
This bastard was clearly exploiting a loophole!
Kanchef sighed, "The rare resources are always limited. We had to tap into our reserves to make an exception for Susan, who also provided a vast amount of resources in exchange. You have nothing. If we make another exception, it’d be very difficult for us!"
"Difficult? Then let’s not do it at all!"
Brian’s tone was indifferent, "Let’s see whether I can’t withstand their counterattacks or your Night Demon Organization loses all face and authority!"
He wasn’t truly brainless.
If they wouldn’t open a window, he’d flip the roof!
Someone would compromise.
In the end, after negotiations,
the Night Demon Foreign Affairs Department agreed to Brian’s request.
But they also set a condition:
"Brian, you must have heard of the Original Sect.
After our investigation, their headquarters in Africa has seen a rebellion.
A faction of the Mutants from the Original Sect has stolen a raw material called ’Water of Reason’ and fled to France.
They then infiltrated London, attempting to kidnap a high-ranking executive from a pharmaceutical company to use their cutting-edge equipment to synthesize harmless ’Water of Reason’.
Currently, their base in London was defeated before their plan could be carried out.
There are three escaped individuals, one of whom has knowledge of the ’Water of Reason’ raw material’s whereabouts.
If you can find them, we will grant you a free choice of rare resources.
If you can get to the Water of Reason before our Night Demon team does, we will reward you accordingly.
This is our final offer, otherwise, you will be forcefully stripped of your camp privileges and blacklisted by us for life, with perpetual prohibition from entering the territories of the Commonwealth!"
Brian’s shameless extortion had annoyed these ’gentlemen’.
If they couldn’t win, they’d break the deal.
Yet, Brian didn’t hesitate for a second and directly accepted the Night Demon Organization’s demands.
After all the trouble,
He finally got what he wanted.
The earlier antics were but a smokescreen.
This was his true goal!
