Chapter 293: Chapter 215: Virus-Like Extraordinary Ability

Chen Qing hadn’t expected to encounter the Cross Star gang again, and of all places, within the Delu Gu family’s territory.

No wonder they had eluded detection all this time.

Laruo had transformed himself into a manor, providing a hideout for Cross Star. Neither Chen Qing nor the hands of the Beast Clan and the Sea Clan could find them here.

Indeed.

Yet, it wasn’t surprising that these two groups would join forces; it was within the realm of reason.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

"Long time no see, Chen Qing."

Liu Jin stood arrogantly next to Shine, clutching Huancai’s arm and half-hiding behind her.

The Cross Star team had a few new faces—they certainly replenished their ranks quickly.

Shine met Chen Qing’s gaze with what seemed like a warm smile, but his eyes actually harbored deep disdain.

He looked down upon everyone here.

"I always feel like he’s mocking me."

Shuangwei, frowning, was holding a Heavy Sword and glaring disapprovingly at Shine across the way.

"I get that feeling, too, tsk."

Ming Meng crunched a lollipop in her mouth and stood next to Shuangwei, her tone displeased.

What did he think he was, daring to look down on them?

Nothing but a bunch of rats scurrying into hiding!

Compared with Chen Qing’s bounty, the Beast Clan and the Sea Clan had poured serious resources into their bounty for Cross Star.

While Chen Qing had involuntarily caused the death of their clansmen, Cross Star was the real instigator behind all this.

They could still clearly distinguish the primary from the secondary.

By hiding in Laruo’s domain, Cross Star was likely trying to evade these hunters.

And it wasn’t just the Beast Clan and the Sea Clan that were after them.

It wasn’t solely Chen Qing’s fault that Silver Light had died.

The Red Snake Family, having lost a powerful successor and a continuator of their potent bloodline, harbored an intense hatred for Cross Star too.

It was always someone else’s fault that their children were led astray—the typical reasoning of a meddling parent.

The Red Snake Family didn’t care about the person, Silver Light, they only saw the outcome.

The person was killed by Chen Qing, the trouble was stirred up by Cross Star; both must die.

No, that’s not right—there might be a chance for Chen Qing to live, but Cross Star must surely die!

"Enough talk, let’s kill them and get the bounty!"

Right now, the only thing filling Shuangwei’s mind and eyes was the bounty on these Cross Star members; she was on the brink of madness from poverty.

"That slitty-eyed creep is mine!"

Shuangwei had her sights set on Shine, the one with the highest bounty, her face full of resolute determination.

Of all those present, her strength was indeed the greatest.

Chen Qing couldn’t measure up to Shuangwei; she hadn’t had enough time to grow.

"Why should you!"

Ming Meng couldn’t accept this; she too wanted that creep!

After all, his bounty was shockingly high!

Just as the two seemed about to come to blows, a mocking smile appeared on Shine’s face, but then both charged at him simultaneously.

This twist came unexpectedly.

"Laruo is yours to deal with; we will handle these people."

Fei Huo stopped Chen Qing, who was about to join the fray, emphasizing that dealing with Laruo was far more urgent than the group from Cross Star opposite them.

"Don’t worry, that guy will certainly die."

Fei Huo was referring to Shine. Of all the members of Cross Star, he was the nastiest and the most despicable; Cross Star had been born because of him.

Once he was killed, the remaining members of Cross Star wouldn’t amount to much.

It wasn’t that Shine was particularly strong; within Cross Star, Shuguang was likely the strongest, followed by Huancai Liu Jin.

Shine was quite patently the runt of the litter.

But, Shine’s Extraordinary Ability...

Fei Huo, who had experienced it directly, knew that Shine was adept at brainwashing.

There was an island in the Deserted Sea, entirely populated by Shine’s devotees.

Silver Light, Liu Jin, Huan Cai... they had probably all been influenced by his mental suggestions.

Except for Shuguang.

Shuguang was a more potent version of Shine, stronger and more cunning.

This person was mysterious; she used to be a Bounty Hunter before joining Cross Star, and had once swindled Shuangwei, to the extent that she even helped to count the money after being sold out by Shuguang.

If it weren’t for meeting Fei Huo later, Shuangwei might have ended up sold at the slave market; to this day, she still had a psychological shadow because of Shuguang.

"Right."

Chen Qing nodded, releasing the Law Enforcers.

At the same time, she handed a Thought Hairpin to Fei Huo.

"What’s this?"

Fei Huo took the hairpin with a puzzled expression and asked.

"It’s anti-brainwashing."

Chen Qing wanted to ensure that Shine would die today. Without him, the troublemaker would be gone.

The Law Enforcers and the Thought Hairpin were Chen Qing’s dual guarantees. Even if Fei Huo were brainwashed by Shine while wearing the Thought Hairpin, there would still be the Law Enforcers, and it would be easy for them to kill Shine.

But honestly, whether Shine died or whether Cross Star was wiped out didn’t impact Chen Qing much.
