Chapter 23: Arrival of the Devil

The nomads were fierce, but only against enemies with equal strength.
Having led a wandering life for a long time, they had to admit defeat to save their lives when they encountered a strong opponent.
Tigers and lions that only knew how to attack were weak. Only ferocious beasts that knew how to hide and wait for an opportunity to strike could remain active in the mountains and forest plains.
When the image appeared, the youth said, “I don’t know him. I really haven’t seen him before. I made a mistake just now.”
Absolute danger and the threat of death forced him to calm down.
“Click!”
A wristband was fastened on the youth’s wrist.
“What are you…”
Two smiled as he said, “Young man, don’t be nervous. This wristband is a lie detector. As long as you don’t lie, there wouldn’t be any problems.”
When he said this, Ten smiled coldly from the side.
The youth’s heart instantly jumped to his throat.
“I’ll ask you one last time.”
Two pointed the gun at the woman’s head.
“Do you—know who this person is—”
“I know, I know!”
Before Two could finish asking his question, Fatty suddenly stood up from the crowd.
“Hmm, very good. You can tell us.”
Everyone in the tribe stared at Fatty.
Normally, no one would say anything when Fatty scammed those travelers.
At crucial times, the people in the tribe stood on Fatty’s side.
It was because those travelers were ultimately still outsiders.
Even if the travelers died, the nomads would not feel that anything was wrong.
But when the entire tribe was in danger, everyone here would all stand together. This was also how the nomads were able to establish themselves in the outside world all year round.
Would they be able to save their own skins if they blew the whistle on Elrond’s whereabouts? That was impossible.
Furthermore, the nomads were stubborn people. Since they acknowledged Elrond’s existence, they considered him as their friend.
The nomads would never betray their friends.
Elrond was a friend, and he had stayed at Victor’s house for one day.
This was something that the tribe knew.
So in their eyes, Fatty’s action was akin to a person who betrayed their friends.
More importantly, if he told the truth, would the people here be able to survive?
On the contrary, no matter if it was the six major countries or New Life Organization, both sides had already reached an agreement. They would attempt to entice the nomads to join them.
If all the nomads in this world were to gather together, they would also be an extremely large group of people.
Therefore, when they encountered a threat, everyone would just shut their mouths. This was the best way to save their lives.
Fatty walked shakily to Two and knelt down.
He looked at Victor occasionally.
Victor’s expression was ghastly.
At the same time, he found it hard to believe that Fatty would betray him.
“It’s him. He’s the one who took in that person in that virtual image.”
Fatty hesitated for three seconds and pointed at Victor.
He had been holding a grudge against Victor for the longest time.
Everyone here admired Victor. He wanted to take a gamble to see if these people from New Life Organization would dare to kill him.
“Hmm—”
“Very good.”
Two patted Fatty’s face and walked straight to Victor. “Tell me, where did he go?”
At the same time, a small team conducted a full body search on the youth.
“Captain, we found these.”
Two took a look and saw two guns without triggers.
If those were not Zero’s exclusive weapons, then whose were those?
At least to Two, he had never seen anyone else using these weapons.
His expression gradually grew sinister. Those people here actually lied to him.
Victor rolled his eyes and said, “Those are my weapons.”
“You used the weapons, right?”
Two flashed an evil grin. He wondered where this man found the courage to lie.
He actually dared to lie in front of him?
The muzzle that was pointing at Victor’s head suddenly shifted towards the youth. “Bang bang.”
Two shots were fired. One hit the youth’s throat while the other sent his head flying.
Blood splattered all over Fatty’s body. When the youth died, his eyes were filled with remorse and fear.
“No—”
Victor got up immediately without a care for his life and directly threw himself at his child.
At the same time, his wife also did the same.
The husband and wife hugged their son’s corpse and cried bitterly.
Their miserable cries tore through the air. Everyone who heard it felt a sting in their hearts.
“Child, how could you die in the hands of these beasts in such a way?”
“Son, why did you have to steal from others? Ah! You shouldn’t have stolen from him. That’s why you were killed today.”
Victor thought of a plan earlier. If he refused to admit it, the other party might not do anything.
However, with Elrond’s guns as evidence, it was different now.
It meant that he was lying through his teeth.
Two looked at his subordinates.
One of the team members pulled the youth’s mother away.
“Beast, let her go.”
Victor struggled with all his might.
Even though he was strong, how could he be a match for the modified experimental subjects?
The experimental subjects were elite agents that were nurtured by various countries.
Victor cried so hard that he almost fainted.
“Yes, let her go. That person has already left. What does it have to do with her?”
Some courageous people immediately stood up and rebuked them angrily.
Ten showed a cruel look on his face. He jumped in front of the person who spoke out and grabbed that person’s head.
“What are you doing? Let me go!”
“I’ll let you go in a while. Ha— aren’t you very smug? Hahaha.”
Ten showed a vicious smile. He exerted force with his hand and right before everyone’s eyes, that person’s head was slowly twisted.
When the man died, he let out a strange, hoarse sound that sounded like a duck. That sound made everyone’s scalp go numb.
Ten’s fingers sank deep into the man’s brain. He pulled out his fingers and kicked the man.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a hint of greed for food was seen on his face.
He licked his lips and sucked his fingers.
“Delicious, it’s really delicious.”
His actions shocked everyone.
This was too brutal. He could no longer be called a human.
Humans would never eat the brains of their kind or showed a look as though they enjoyed it.
Everyone started to get cold feet.
Fatty was also scared witless because this had completely exceeded his expectation.
He thought that they would get off the hook if he tipped them off.
These people were too brutal, and it seemed that they were in danger.
For a moment, Fatty felt a twinge of regret.
Two was disgusted by Ten’s cold-blooded actions.
He took out a dagger and squatted in front of Victor’s wife as he said, “You know where that man went, right?”
“Tell me, and I’ll give you a quick death.”
Two took the dagger and cut the button off the woman’s clothes. Instantly, her snowy skin was exposed.
“Animals… are you even fit to be called humans?”
A team member stepped on Victor’s head.
“Kill him.”
Two told his subordinate.
The subordinate took out his gun and aimed at Victor’s head, ready to shoot.
The woman’s eyes widened and she pleaded, “I’ll tell you! Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you. But please spare him and everyone here. That man went into the forest.”
