Stark watched Freya run like a madman.
When she was almost out of sight and it was impossible for him to be discovered, Stark smiled faintly.
“Alright, Luciana, let’s go!”
“Yes, Master.”
Luciana replied, a silent smile on her lips.
She knew that her master was making a big plan like fishing.
Luciana immediately entered the dark space and concealed herself while Stark followed the direction Freya escaped in.
..
At the same time, at another location, in a company building, on the highest floor.
A group of people was sitting and chatting. At a glance, there were about 20 people.
There was nothing special about this group, and their figures were not as burly as those of the special forces. However, the only exception was that all of them were wearing wristbands.
These people were all Transcendent humans!
If anyone else saw a group of more than 20 Transcendent humans, they would definitely suck in a breath of cold air in shock!
One had to know that in today’s apocalyptic world, Transcendent humans usually traveled in groups of three to five. By hunting Transcendent creatures, it would be easier to distribute the rewards. However, this group had more than 20 Transcendents.
This was a terrifying force that could run amok in any street in the United States!
It was hard to imagine what kind of person could possess such a force.
Now, the 20 Transcendents were sitting together, talking and laughing as they discussed something. In the center of this group, a middle-aged man was seated. He wore a wristband on his hand and gave everyone a large number of crystals.
Although the middle-aged man’s clothes were slightly tattered, one could tell at a glance that he was definitely a big shot before the apocalypse.
If Freya were here right now, she would be able to recognize that the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the Transcendent individuals was Saikot’s father, Joseph!
“Robert, this is your 200 crystals today!”
“Beck, this is your 200 crystals. Keep it well!”
..
“Lucas, this is the equipment you deserve today!”
After that, he handed a dagger with a Transcendent aura to Lucas.
Joseph’s face revealed a smile that belonged solely to a superior. He admired the Transcendent people with different abilities in front of him.
This was the Transcendent army that he had spent a week and a lot of money to nurture after the apocalypse!
It was so that he could stand firmly in the apocalypse and reach the same height as before. No one dared to provoke him.
When the apocalypse came, he didn’t awaken as a Transcendent. However, he still used his business mind to escape from the zombies. First, he gave the beautiful woman beside him to the Transcendents to trade for crystals.
Finally, he used a large number of crystals to hire a group of Transcendents. He accumulated more and more crystals under various business transactions, and the number of Transcendents he cultivated grew larger and larger!
In the end, he created a Transcendent troop of more than twenty people!
Joseph used the wristbands that he snatched and distributed crystals to each Transcendent as his salary.
As for whether there would be any Transcendent who could not resist the temptation to kill him and take away all the crystals in the wristband, he was not worried. He kept all the crystals separately, and the hiding place of each wristband was only known to him.
Just based on this point, if this group of Transcendents wanted to obtain crystals steadily, they would not be able to kill him.
Thinking of this, Joseph’s gaze suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously looked to his side.
In fact, if there were careful people here, they would be able to see that although he was leading a group of Transcendents with more than 20 people, he was not sitting in the seat of power.
The one who sat in the main seat was a young man in white who was only about 20 years old.
If Stark was here, he would also be able to recognize him at a glance. This was the yellow-haired young man, John, who had asked him to kill an elite boss two days ago and get a C-rank treasure chest.
When he looked at John, Joseph shrank a little. Then, he forced a smile on his face.
“Mr. John, regarding your reward, we have already found one of the two D-class treasure chests you asked for. I reckon that in two days, you will be able to gather the two D-class treasure chests and deliver them to your hands.”
After hearing Joseph’s words, a trace of obvious displeasure flashed across John’s face. He swept his gaze over Joseph and said, “Joseph, you promised me before that you would give me two treasure chests within two days. It has already been three days. Why is there only one?”
His faint tone was filled with killing intent.
Joseph was so scared that he almost fell off the sofa. He hurriedly replied, “No, Mr. John. There are only a few elite zombies in Manhattan, and even fewer D-grade treasure chests have been dropped. It’s really hard for my men to find them!
“But don’t worry! I’ll definitely send more people to find D-grade treasure chests for you in the next two days. I promise to deliver them to you tomorrow!”
“It’s good that you know. Give me the D-grade treasure chest first. It’s better than nothing. I have to seize the time to improve my strength in these two days because…”
As he said that, John’s gaze suddenly fell on Joseph, and he spoke slowly.
“After two days, I have to meet an important person. It’s related to the C-grade treasure chest. You should know its importance.
“Don’t make me wait too long!”
The cold voice almost scared Joseph out of his wits. He hurriedly nodded and replied, “Yes, yes, yes! Mr. John, I will definitely fulfill my promise and deliver the D-grade treasure chest to you on time tomorrow.”
“Alright, you go and do your work. I’m going to sleep.”
John said lightly. He did not even bother to look at Joseph again before he turned around and left.
After a few seconds, Joseph finally let out a long sigh of relief.
“Phew… as expected of a level 20 Transcendent human. Standing beside that fellow, just the faint aura is enough to suffocate me.”
The other Transcendent humans did not dare to make a sound.
As Transcendents, their perception of John was much stronger than Joseph’s.
Just now, when John was impatient, they were sure that if they said anything wrong, their heads would not necessarily remain on their necks.
Joseph coldly glanced at the surrounding Transcendent humans.
“Alright, you’ve heard Mr. John’s orders. Quickly go to the city and search for all kinds of elite zombies. We must get the remaining D-grade treasure chest.
“Otherwise, when Mr. John gets angry, I don’t need to tell you the consequences!”
The group of Transcendents quickly responded.
“Yes!”
“No Problem!”
“Understood!”
The group immediately responded and prepared to leave the company.
However, just as they walked in front of the door, the next moment, they heard a loud bang. The door was pushed open by a woman dressed in tattered clothes.
She looked anxious. While running, she accidentally fell to the ground and pounced on Joseph.
“No… not good, Mr. Joseph, something big has happened!”
Looking at the woman’s flustered look, Joseph could not help but frown.
“What’s the matter? Why can’t you speak slowly? Look at you, do you have any manners?”
In front of him was Freya, who had been rushing all the way back.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Freya couldn’t care less about anything else. She knelt on the ground, raised her head, and hurriedly said, “No… No, it’s your son, Saikot, he…”
“What?”
When he heard that it was about his beloved son, Joseph’s pupils instantly shrank. At that moment, he also recognized that the woman in front of him was his son’s partner, Freya.
Joseph’s eyes became serious, and he immediately asked, “Tell me, what happened to my son!”
“Your… your son was killed by his classmate…”
Freya’s face was pale as her stuttering voice sounded.
“!!!”
“What?”
The moment he heard the news of his son’s death, Joseph’s expression was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head.
The sky seemed to have collapsed.
Saikot was his only child. He was someone who valued bloodlines. The reason why he raised Saikot was that he wanted him to continue his lineage. This was also the reason why he doted on his son so much.
Even expanding his influence during the apocalypse was for his son to have a safe environment to successfully continue his bloodline.
But just now…
His son’s woman told him…
Saikot was dead. The hope that he had been holding on to all this time was instantly shattered.
Unacceptable! Intolerable!
The furious Joseph grabbed Freya’s collar and immediately roared and questioned her.
“Woman, tell me, who killed my son!?
“Tell me the entire process! Now!”
