152: Fat woman, what are you barking at like a dog?
The mercenaries who were fleeing frantically stiffened!
They discovered in terror that they... couldn't move!
The surrounding space became as viscous as glue; every inch of movement required their full strength!
What made them feel even more despairing was...
An omnipresent Power of Decay was frantically eroding their bodies and Life force!
Their skin was shriveling and aging at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Ah! My hand! What's happening to my hand!"
"Help! I don't want to die!"
"Devil! You are a devil incarnate, ahhh!"
Shrill screams rose and fell one after another.
In just a dozen or so seconds...
Over a hundred powerful Domain Transformation Realm mercenaries turned into shriveled corpses, then turned into fly ash and dissipated into the air.
Throughout the whole process, Su Jue hadn't even moved a single step.
He just stood where he was and clapped his hands as if nothing had happened.
Capybara lay on the ground, burying its head deep in its arms.
It was already completely numb.
Just destroy it!
Hurry up!
This world is tired!
Su Jue ignored his servant's psychological state.
From that pile of ash, he picked up a gem-encrusted storage ring that looked the most valuable.
He scanned it with his divine soul.
It was filled with various source crystals, pills, and magical treasures.
Altogether, it was worth about... five or six million?
"Tsk, what trash!"
Su Jue curled his lip in disgust and tossed it away casually.
"A bunch of paupers."
It seemed that one could not get rich just by killing these small fry.
To get starting capital, he still needed to find a wealthy party.
Su Jue's gaze turned once again toward the Li Group headquarters building in the distance.
He grinned.
"Let's go."
"We're going... to collect rent."
...Star River City First Bank.
This was one of the most important financial institutions under the Li family, controlling over seventy percent of the capital flow in the entire Star River City.
The bank building was also a heavily guarded fortress.
The entire structure was made of tenth-tier obsidian, with two Divine Ability Realm war puppets guarding the entrance, and the interior was filled with various high-tech defense systems and powerful experts.
At this moment.
People were coming and going in the bank lobby in an orderly fashion.
No one knew that an unprecedented "robbery" was about to take place.
At the bank entrance.
An Infant wearing animal onesie pajamas walked over slowly with a Capybara.
The two ten-meter-tall Divine Ability Realm war puppets at the entrance immediately locked onto them with their electronic eyes.
[Warning! Unknown Life form detected!]
[Scanning...]
[Target: human cub form. Energy reaction: None. Threat level: Zero.]
[Target: Genetically modified Capybara. Energy reaction: Weak. Threat level: Zero.]
The scanning results caused the war puppets to deactivate the alarm.
They were just cold "security guards" without extra emotions; all their actions were based on Data.
They would ignore targets with a threat level of zero.
Su Jue swaggered into the magnificent bank lobby just like that.
Capybara followed behind, its limbs trembling with nervousness.
Boss, aren't we here to collect rent?
Why did we break directly into a bank?
This isn't called collecting rent; this is called robbery!
And it's robbing the most heavily guarded bank in the whole city!
What's the difference between this and just tearing down the headquarters building?!
"Welcome to Star River City First Bank."
A sweet-looking Fox-kin girl wearing a professional suit came forward.
When she saw Su Jue's appearance, she was stunned for a moment.
An Infant?
With a Capybara pet?
Whose brat is this? Did he come to the wrong place?
"Little friend, this isn't a playground. Where are your mom and dad?"
The Fox-kin girl squatted down and gave a kind smile.
Su Jue ignored her.
He just looked around the lobby and then spoke in a childish voice.
"Call out your Bank President."
"Hmm?"
The Fox-kin girl's smile stiffened.
The customers conducting business and the security guards maintaining order around them also cast curious glances.
"Little friend, do you have some business with our Bank President?"
The Fox-kin girl asked patiently, her tone clearly coaxing a child.
"I'm here to collect money."
Su Jue was concise.
"Collect... collect money?"
The Fox-kin girl was completely bewildered.
Whose kid is this?
Before she could ask further...
A sharp and mean voice came from the side.
"Where did this little bastard come from, talking nonsense here!"
A bloated middle-aged woman with heavy makeup walked over, waddling her thick waist.
She was the bank's lobby manager, a typical snob.
Seeing Su Jue dressed plainly and followed by a dirty-looking Capybara, her eyes were immediately filled with disdain and disgust.
"Security! Where the hell is security!"
The middle-aged woman shrieked.
"Hurry up and throw this little brat and his dirty pet out! Don't let them affect our bank's image here!"
Several Domain Transformation Realm security guards immediately surrounded them.
The surrounding customers all became onlookers, ready to watch the show.
The Fox-kin girl felt a bit sympathetic and wanted to plead for him.
But before she could speak...
Su Jue moved.
He just raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged woman.
Then, he said two words.
"Noisy."
The moment the words fell...
"Poof—!"
The shriek of the middle-aged woman came to an abrupt end.
Her body, like a punctured balloon, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
A rain of blood filled the air, splattering across the polished marble floor.
In the entire bank lobby, there was no longer any sound.
Everyone felt as if they were being strangled, nearly unable to breathe.
The Fox-kin girl was so frightened she slumped to the ground, her mouth wide open, yet unable to make a sound.
The security guards who were about to step forward also froze in place, their legs shaking as if they were being electrocuted.
Insta... insta-killed?
A single glance... insta-killed a Marrow Cleansing Realm manager?!
Is there no king's law? Is there no justice?!
"Now."
Su Jue withdrew his gaze and looked around the room.
"Does anyone else have an objection to me collecting money?"
The cold, childish voice echoed through the lobby.
No one dared to speak.
Everyone looked at him in terror, as if looking at a monster.
Su Jue was very satisfied with this effect.
He strode his short legs directly toward the VIP passage inside the bank.
No one dared to stop him.
Capybara came to its senses and hurriedly trotted after him.
Passing by the terrified Fox-kin girl, Su Jue stopped.
He pulled a fragment of a source crystal from his pocket and threw it in front of her.
"Your service was not bad."
"A reward for you."
Having said that, he walked away without looking back.
Leaving the Fox-kin girl staring blankly at the source crystal on the ground, then at Su Jue's departing figure, her mind a complete blank...
