Chapter 359: 214 Red Vulture Fist (4000)_1 Chapter 359: 214 Red Vulture Fist (4000)_1 Casio lowered his gaze.

The black tattoo on the man’s neck began to dissipate like fog, eventually disappearing without a trace. All that remained was the gushing blood from the neck, making a splattering sound.

A shoe suddenly stomped on the cigarette, extinguishing it.

“Smoking is harmful to health…”

Casio withdrew his gaze, his sharp hawk-like eyes swept over the surroundings once again. He could clearly see every detail within a hundred-meter radius, including any slight movement or rustle of leaves.

But, he found no trace of the enemy.

He pondered for a moment, then proceeded to inspect the bald man, no, the headless man’s corpse. After a few moments, Casio had a hunch. The man was an ordinary human, not a creature of darkness. The only dark aura was what the creature had left behind.

Otherwise, he would not have resorted to using firearms to threaten.

“Was it a test? Or a warning?”

Casio slowly stood up and took a few steps back, avoiding the pool of blood that might stain his shoes.

Earlier, the man had mentioned a place, Owl Town, that was where the North Flow Country branch of the Black Mechanism was located.

Connecting this information to what Olay had mentioned in a previous conversation, there was a mysterious organization recently investigating and keeping tabs on the comings and goings of the North Flow Country branch. Perhaps this man, who just approached him out of the blue, was a member of that organization.

Or, he was merely a worthless sacrifice that was put in the outermost layer.

Casio was not particularly interested in the feud between these two parties. Although he collaborated with the Black Mechanism, he was not one to interfere in matters that did not concern him. As the official supernatural power of the Hong Li Federation, the Black Mechanism should have its ways to combat these other organizations trying to take advantage of it.

He did not wish to get involved in this matter. Casio simply planned to take the corpse back to Owl Town and report what just happened. The North Flow Country branch would then be warned and would naturally take preventive measures in the future. Moreover, his vehicle had broken down so he needed to go back to replace it anyway.

Five minutes later.

Casio and the other two slowly retraced their steps on the hill road.

The place where the vehicle broke down was not too far from Owl Town; an average person could walk the distance in about half an hour. This was no problem for Casio and Amos, who could arrive within minutes if they ran. However, considering the elderly butler, Franz, who was just an ordinary human, they could not rush.

Also, carrying the headless man whose blood was still dripping, if they ran too fast, the blood might splatter.

Currently, it was summertime and the weather was hot. However, it was probably only a little past eight in the morning, the temperature had not fully risen yet and the breeze was still relatively moist. Walking down the road was quite relaxing.

Bees frequently buzzed and flew by the side of the road.

Not far ahead, a black dot gradually enlarged, and the sound of a car engine grew louder. A black boxy car drove up a gentle slope and was speeding downward.

In the driver’s seat was a middle-aged man operating the steering wheel with one hand. The window was rolled down, his left hand rested on the window sill, head tilted to one side. He was in a good mood and was humming a tune.

The morning breeze, bringing a touch of vegetation, flowed in through the collar of his clothes, cool and refreshing. The weather was also pleasant, with a blue sky and white clouds. He looked at the scenery on both sides and pondered what to buy when he reached the city.

The car moved forward, and three oddly dressed people on the side of the road caught his attention. Two older and younger individuals dressed in black and white butler suits, and a slender girl dressed in an oversized trench coat. Wait a minute! What was the girl carrying on her shoulders?

A person?

No, an “∧”!

Without a head!

Damn it! The man’s heart suddenly lurched, and he swerved the steering wheel. The whole car directly plunged into the ditch by the slope.

In the tilted car’s driver’s seat, he struggled to open the car door. Unfortunately, the door was a bit deformed and wouldn’t open. Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside, and the car door was ripped off. Then, a hand pulled him out of the car.

His vision was filled with stars.

The man was a bit dizzy, and his heavy breathing made his sight blurry. But he was grateful.

He extended his hand to shake the hand of his saviour, constantly muttering, “Thank you, thank you so much…”.

“No need to thank me, it was the least I could do.” a deep male voice responded, “However, it seems like you’ve shaken the wrong hand…”.

“What?”

The man was stunned momentarily. His emotions briefly settled. He blinked, and his vision cleared. Before him was a strangely alluring blond young man, a faint cross on his forehead that seemed to disappear when seen. At the moment, he was carefully observing him.

An “∧” was still on his shoulder.

And what he was holding, was the corpse’s right hand that belonged to the “∧”!

Directly facing his mangled neck, the cut-off point was only about thirty centimeters from his slightly forward-tilted face.

“Ah!!!!”

The man let out the highest-pitched scream of his life, even more shrill than the frequent screams of his nagging wife at home. Without any hesitation, the man threw the dead hand away and ran with all his might towards the city.

The polished leather shoes that he wore were left behind after a couple of steps.

However, he did not seem to care and continued to stubbornly head west.

Casio glanced at the “∧” on his shoulder, silently opened his mouth, and watched the silhouette that ran faster than a rabbit.

The Northern Flow City was still more than ten kilometers away. The cement road surface in summer was scorching hot and incredibly rough. He wished him the best of luck.
