The man was already unconscious by the time Mo Fan scooped him out of the water.
‘Mo Fan carefully compared the man’s facial features with the photo of the man they were looking for, and unfortunately did find some level of resemblance.
How annoying!
Mo Fan was more than willing to feed an assh*** like him to the sharks, yet he happened to have quite a powerful background. The people behind him had spent a lot of money hiring Hunters to rescue him.
Forget it, I should keep him alive for now. It was not unlikely the man would die a sudden death after Mo Fan was done with the quest.
“If you don’t open your eyes, I’m going to slit your wrist,” Mo Fan stated coldly.
“No, don’t!” The skinny man instantly ‘woke up’.
“Don’t even think about fooling me. I only took the quest to bring you out of here alive because I’m looking for something else in this city. However, if you mess with me, I don’t really care about the money or the Contribution Points. Do you understand?” Mo Fan did not go easy on the man.
Normally, he would just save a desperate man’s life after finding him in such a cruel situation, but to his surprise, the man had tried to set him up just to save himself!
“Twon’t. You have my word. I was ignorant. I didn’t know you were here to save me… please believe me. I only did it because I didn’t have a choice.”
“What’s your name?” Mo Fan asked coolly.
“My Chinese name is Guan Songdi, my English…”
“That’s enough, I’m not interested in it,” Mo Fan waved his hand to cut him off.
“Are we leaving now? But there are Sharkmen with sharp noses in every corner of the city. No living creature could escape their eyes… Wait, how did you get in here? You can stay undetected from them!” Guan Songdi blurted out in joy.
Mo Fan had not been captured and brought here by the Sharkmen. He was a Hunter who had come to rescue him, which meant he was able to get into the city and avoid the Sharkman Beasts.
There was a chance for them to leave the city alive if they could avoid the Sharkman Beasts!
He had been trapped in the city for more than a month. There had been hundreds of people brought to the city around the same time as him. Many had been Mages like him.
However, only a few of them were still alive. New prey had constantly been brought to the city over the past month. It was like a battle royale-style game!
Guan Songdi had been teetering on the edge of sanity for more than a month.
He never had a chance to rest properly. He was constantly on edge whenever he imagined the Sharkmen would find him and eat him alive while he was sleeping.
Anyone would lose their mind after being stuck here for a long time. He desperately wanted to leave this city!
“If you bring me out of here now, I can pay you five times, no, ten, twenty times the reward!” Guan Songdi exclaimed urgently.
“You cut my arm. You can think about how you are going to make up for it. I have something more important than your life to do, so you can keep hiding. I’l find you and bring you out of the city once I’m done.” Mo Fan dug into his ear like he did not care about money, even though he had always been
poor.
“Don’t, I can’t even handle a single Sharkman!” Guan Songdi squealed in fear.
Lingling had repeatedly reminded Mo Fan that the man was a cash cow. In the end, Mo Fan had no choice but to bring the assh*** with him.
He returned to the headquarters of the company and searched the building, but he did not find anything useful.
It was just a business logo. It was unlikely he would find any clues unless he could find records about its founding.
Left with no choice, Mo Fan could only regroup with the others to see if they had found anything useful.
Luckily, he did not end up empty-handed. He had somehow found the person they were looking for!
“Old Zhao is around here, I should meet up with him,” Mo Fan said to himself.
It was inconvenient bringing a person with him. Mo Fan had to use the buildings and walls as cover. If he was alone, he could easily move between buildings through their shadows.
Pools of blood were scattered across the road.
Zhao Manyan was sitting inside an abandoned bus. He was staring dumbfounded at the creature he had claimed as his Contracted Beast.
Other people would bring their Contracted Beast home and take good care of them so they could grow quickly. They would be a great help once they matured.
However, Zhao Manyan’s Contracted Beast was a little ‘special’.
It had only been a little more than three hours since it had hatched.
Zhao Manyan had lost count of how many Sharkmen it had eaten, whether they were ordinary Sharkmen or Commander-level Dark Iron Sharkmen. It was sending out a strange cry which lured the nearby Sharkmen to it.
The Sharkmen thought they would find a juicy Lance Spine Bear. To their surprise, after turning a corner and venturing inside a hotel, a little monster that could never be full was waiting for them.
The hotel had a large entryway and was surrounded by three-storied old buildings. It also had a spacious car park beside it.
Mo Fan headed into the hotel with Guan Songdi tagging along. He immediately saw Zhao Manyan, who was sitting atop a bus.
The truth was, Mo Fan was following the trail of a Sharkman, but it had been eaten in front of him by a strange creature that was floating in the air.
“What’s going on here?” Mo Fan looked around and saw piles of fresh bloody bones.
It was like a mountain of empty plates that had been stacked up during a buffet. The whole place was full of the remains of Sharkmen and Lance Spine Bears!
“Thave no idea. It can eat so much. I feel like it’s trying to eat every Sharkman in the city,” Zhao Manyan replied with a wry smile.
The creature was constantly growing while eating. It was no longer just an infant; it had turned into a giant floating silver-blue whale!
The Sharkman Beasts in the sky would have noticed it if Zhao Manyan had not hidden it with a Light Element Barrier.
Zhao Manyan was now sure of one thing. That creature was definitely not a child of the Sharkman Beasts!
It was a different species, and the Sharkman Beasts were its favorite food, as if it would only be full and evolve after eating lots of them!
“You managed to establish a Contract with it? Your father sure left a lot of precious things for you,” Mo Fan exclaimed.
“Please stop eating, we really have other serious things to do…” Zhao Manyan said to the creature helplessly.
Cachalot? Orca? Inquiring minds want to know! Wait, i’s an egg. I have no clue. Whales do put on mass faster than any other species, however.
It also had some smart parents. They snuck into the city and put the egg right in the middle of a feeding zone for it!
