Chapter 201: Chapter 156: The Bizarre Family Ethics Drama, Planning, Susan’s Return_2
This relationship is quite a mess.
A group was chatting when Green suddenly received a call, saying he had some affairs to take care of and needed to leave early.
Everyone had quite a bit to drink, so they just called it a night.
...
Back in the car.
Brian was just about to start the car and return to his apartment when a warm current surged through his body.
Another obsession was complete.
He took out a spare phone.
The next moment.
As if timed perfectly, an unfamiliar number called.
Brian chose to answer, and on the other end was the voice of little Spider Woman, Eliana, "Freddy, the target has been executed, by fire. Does that count as one Contribution Value?"
In the background of the call were screams, the sound of wood burning fiercely, and shouts for help to put out the fire... It was very noisy.
Brian squeezed his throat, changing his voice to the one he used when communicating with Eliana before, "Yes, that’s right. In our Urban Legend Club, as long as you gather ten Contribution Values, you can make a request of me."
"Including sleeping together?"
Brian: "...Including."
It’s not always good to be too outstanding, one might attract the attention of bad women.
Never mind, worse comes to worst, he would just fire blanks.
"That’s great, next time you have something you need done, remember to hand it over to me. I’m heading back now, the fire here is getting big and I don’t like it that much," saying this, the other end disconnected the call.
Humming a little tune, Brian put the phone away.
It was a shame he didn’t get to see Mrs. Gilman’s miserable state with his own eyes; that would have lifted his spirits even more.
But with the completion of this obsession,
Brian’s Gift Energy reserves were back to 16 units.
The remaining obsessions were down to three incomplete, with one unpaid.
The unpaid one was the prostitute case, the obsession Gift of the victim, Olina.
Brian had already sent the gifts, but estimated that it wouldn’t be considered complete until Christmas when the gifts reached the hands of those children.
Moreover, since it was only three units of energy, Brian wasn’t too concerned.
The three incomplete obsessions, those were the major ones.
...
The first obsession was his Uncle Billy’s, to revive the Kamor family legacy.
The Gift was extremely bugged.
There were three choices!
Gift:
One, a hundred points of Gift Energy.
Two, one point of Gift Energy + Beast Body (Beast Power, Beast Speed, Beast’s sense of smell, Beast Vision, Beast’s Warning...)
Three, one point of Gift Energy + Steel Will
To be honest,
Ever since Brian’s ability to receive Gifts from the dead was upgraded to directly see the rewards, he had gained a clearer understanding of his uncle’s potential.
He had only one thought: outrageous!
You see, the previous Mutant Beasts, or the Glutton of the Seven Deadly Sins, all their Gift Energies amounted to at most fifty. The Mutant Beast that previously had to be killed with a missile only granted eighty Gift Energy, but his uncle, who was still only in the First Rank of Mutation, had a staggering one hundred Gift Energy!
This was the highest amount of obsession Gift Energy that Brian had ever encountered!
Tough old Billy did not lie to him; Billy’s talent was truly very, very strong!
That Beast Body was almost equivalent to possessing all the traits of a beast, almost reaching the exaggerated extent of having no weakness like Brian’s body.
It even came with a Beast’s Warning and comprehensive Beast Vision that Brian didn’t even possess now...
Brian knew that his Uncle Billy had held back with him, his nephew who was emotionally engulfed by the Blood Moon, but he hadn’t expected him to hold back so much.
Billy probably had many abilities and methods that he didn’t use at that time.
Unfortunately, Billy took the wrong path, using self-hypnosis and the family as the anchor for sane emotions, resulting in never reaching the next stage of Mutation when the internal Blood Moon energy was active.
In the end, Billy’s sanity was on the brink of collapse after the second Blood Moon.
Otherwise, just imagine.
If Billy stepped into the second stage of Mutation, his Gift ability, Beast Body, upgraded again, what level would it reach?
A humanoid Mutant Beast without weaknesses?
Perhaps, the current Brian would not stand a chance against his uncle at that time.
It was a pity, Billy was already dead.
There was no answer to this matter.
But Brian valued Billy’s third Gift reward more, the Steel Will.
It seemed to be a form of mental talent reward.
Judging by the Gift display, this Steel Will was evidently not less valuable than the Beast Body, and given the Beast Body, it was somewhat redundant for Brian.
For Mutants, maintaining sanity was the hardest.
Including Brian.
He was now acting on impulse, emotions easily leading him to make some excessive and extreme choices.
This was actually a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, Brian wanted this talent of Steel Will even more.
The problem was, it was not easy to make the Kamor family rise to power.
This world was different from his previous life.
Not just the conglomerates, but even the mafia and terrorist criminal organizations had complex networks of relationships behind them, not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
To some extent, the class system in this world was even more rigid than in his previous life.
At least until he climbed to a certain position and acquired some influence and say, Brian didn’t need to consider fulfilling Uncle Billy’s obsession.
..
The second unresolved obsession was that of the Mutant Beast: to kill all core members of the Beast Pavilion.
Obsession Gift:
One, eighty points of Gift Energy.
Two, ten points of Gift Energy + Rapid Burst
From here, it was clear that the double-gun wielding white investigator from last night who delayed Brian was simply spouting nonsense.
At that time, the members of the Beast Pavilion that could be seen by the two primate Mutant Beasts surely couldn’t have been the Pavilion’s heads, which indicated that there must be more than three core members with the Taotie tattoo in the Beast Pavilion.
However, since the Beast Pavilion was a crime organization controlled by the CIA, there should be no problem.
Otherwise, relying on a simple crime organization like the Beast Pavilion, there was no way to get advanced scientific equipment and research talent to create someone like Spider Woman Eliana.
After all, Eliana was the one who was taken from the hospital to the laboratory after her car accident in Texas.
There would have to be something fishy going on.
It involved the CIA.
To complete this obsession, Brian not only had to find the list of core members of the Beast Pavilion but also had to dodge the threat from the CIA.
For all this, he currently lacked sufficient information.
..
The third obsession was that of the Original Sect, whose priest Brian had easily killed.
Bald Priest obsession: to obtain enough Water of Reason.
Gift One: 30 points of Gift Energy.
Gift Two: 5 points of Gift Energy + enlarged physique
This obsession gave Brian a feeling of chicken ribs—tasteless but a pity to discard.
To complete it, he would need to acquire the "Water of Reason."
This sounded like a sort of "Suppressant" used by the Original Sect to control the Mutants beneath them.
The issue was that the Original Sect mainly operated in Africa.
And the reward didn’t have anything special.
Brian could only continue holding onto this obsession, seeing if there would be a chance to complete it in the future.
..
These stubborn obsession nail houses were actually the reason why Brian whimsically started an urban legend club.
Very many things he shouldn’t do personally.
In the future, the obsessions he couldn’t directly complete might become even more numerous.
Being the boss and having others work for him was the smart way to go.
Having gone through all three stubborn obsessions again,
Brian drove back to his apartment.
Considering that he had again wiped out two Hunter elites from the FBI.
For the next two days,
he wasn’t planning to go out and work part-time.
..
One week later.
Having solved a case of parental insurance fraud, Brian walked into the office with Green and a somewhat grown Shi San, only to see that Susan’s office door was surprisingly open.
Brian sniffed with his nose and his eyes widened.
Had Susan come back early?
