Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Disappearing Demon Core

"It’s truly amazing!" The fat man was so excited he almost jumped up. The better the players he signed performed, the more rewards Sha Chu would give him.

In the fat man’s eyes, what Li Xiu kicked was not a Razor Ball, but piles of cash.

Pa Shan landed on the ground, staring blankly at the soccer ball inside the goal, his expression complex.

"Do you want me to be the goalkeeper?" Li Xiu looked at Pa Shan and asked.

"No, I lost." Pa Shan shook his head.

He wanted to prove himself to Kun Sha, but two failures made him realize that, as Kun Sha said, he indeed underestimated the sport of football.

Zheng Xiu wanted to say something, but Pa Shan had already turned to leave.

Sha Chu glanced at Kun Sha, who understood her meaning and said, "Pa Shan, if you truly want to prove yourself, stay."

Pa Shan stopped and turned to look at Kun Sha.

"What you’re lacking is merely technique. Here, we have the best football players." Kun Sha said while glancing at Li Xiu.

Pa Shan also looked at Li Xiu, staring for a long time before nodding and saying, "Alright, I understand. I won’t let you down again."

The Madmen Team signed both Li Xiu and Pa Shan simultaneously. Pa Shan signed as a goalkeeper, while Li Xiu’s contract didn’t specify a position but guaranteed his starting position.

The team arranged a dormitory for Li Xiu, but he refused.

Upon returning to the inn, Li Xiu did not see A Fei. Old Luo told Li Xiu that A Fei had left shortly after him.

Returning to his room, Li Xiu took out the Demon Cores, planning to count them and see how many there were in total.

Since he had joined the team, the opportunity to go to the Mad Ball Trial Ground was not far off.

The Demon Cores looted from Abyss Base were all in the backpack. He took them out to count, and although their level wasn’t high, the quantity was, and it should be enough to purchase a set of A-Class Magic Armor.

Remembering a few Demon Cores still on him, Li Xiu reached out to take them, only to find one was missing.

"Did it fall?" Li Xiu frowned slightly.

He had secured three Demon Cores and a Skill Ring on that Metal Coffin, but now there were only two Demon Cores and a Skill Ring left.

Li Xiu didn’t remember when the Demon Core fell out, and they were all in the same pocket; how could only one be missing?

If someone had stolen a Demon Core, that didn’t seem right either.

Clearly, there were three Demon Cores. Who would steal just one, and the lowest-level one at that?

"Strange, where did that Demon Core go?" Li Xiu searched all his clothes pockets, confirming he couldn’t find that Demon Core.

After this incident, Li Xiu feared another accident, so he took out the A-Level and B-Level Demon Cores, wrapped them tightly, and kept them close to his body, leaving lower-level Demon Cores in the backpack.

Li Xiu had just finished tidying up when A Fei returned, looking very upset.

"What happened?" Li Xiu asked, curious.

"I went out to find some information today. That Magic Armor Master called God is now ranked first in the world." A Fei said gravely.

"Are you sure that the Magic Armor Master ranked first in the world, God, is the one you’re looking for?" Li Xiu asked.

"I found some footage of God battling with a demon. I can confirm it’s the same Magic Armor; I will never forget the style of that armor for the rest of my life." A Fei bit her lip and said.

"Which Magic Armor did you see?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.

After A Fei showed Li Xiu a screenshot on her phone, Li Xiu fell silent.

The image A Fei showed him was of the Red Flower Magic Armor he wore. But that Magic Armor was custom-made for Li Xiu, and since its creation, only Li Xiu had used it; there shouldn’t be a second set.

"What exactly did that Magic Armor Master do? Don’t say it has nothing to do with me. If you want my help, you must tell me the truth." Li Xiu pressed A Fei for answers.

"I know it’s difficult to ask you to kill the top-ranked Magic Armor Master in the world, but if you’re unwilling, we can cancel the agreement." A Fei thought Li Xiu was afraid.

"That’s not what I mean. I just need to understand the truth. I can’t kill an innocent person." Li Xiu smiled bitterly: "For others, it might be hard to kill God, but for him, killing God couldn’t be easier. He just has to cut his own throat."

A Fei hesitated for a moment before slowly beginning to tell a story.

In Haishi Town lived a family of four: a loving couple and their two adorable children, a son and a daughter.

The girl was eight years older than the boy, and they had a great relationship.

But suddenly, one day, a demon descended on Haishi Town, destroying many houses in the town.

While the villagers were fleeing in terror, several Magic Armor Masters appeared in Haishi Town.

They killed the demon, and the villagers, thinking they were saved, regarded those Magic Armor Masters as heroes.

But they could never have imagined that those Magic Armor Masters were even more terrifying monsters than the demon. They slaughtered the town, killing all the villagers.

Including the couple and their son; only the girl narrowly escaped.

The scar on A Fei’s face was left from that time. She would never forget that someone called the leading Magic Armor Master "God," and the sight of that red armor.

Li Xiu frowned secretly: "I’ve never been to Haishi Town, let alone massacred its villagers. But there should only be one set of Red Flower Magic Armor. Did A Fei mistake it, or is that person’s armor truly similar to Red Flower? But according to A Fei’s description, that armor’s attack mode does resemble Red Flower. Why use the name ’God’? Perhaps this isn’t a coincidence."

Li Xiu wanted to figure out what was going on, but that would have to wait until he returned to Space City.

Red Flower Magic Armor is a product of Space City’s No. 1 laboratory, and as far as Li Xiu knew, there was only this one set, so he needed to verify it when he got back.

Li Xiu had a feeling that this matter wasn’t simple and probably involved the higher-ups in Space City. That’s also why he wasn’t rushing back there.

Li Xiu reassured A Fei, telling her he would definitely help her uncover the truth.

After returning to his room, the more Li Xiu thought about it, the more something seemed off. Lying on the bed with closed eyes, he pondered carefully.

Suddenly, Li Xiu sat up; he realized what didn’t add up.

He pulled out his phone and searched for the video A Fei mentioned, and sure enough, he saw God clad in Red Flower Magic Armor battling the demon.

The video’s date showed it was filmed ten days ago, but ten days ago, he was still inside the Abyss Base; how could he have worn the Red Flower Magic Armor to fight a demon?

"Who’s using the Red Flower Magic Armor?" Li Xiu stared at the footage; the person’s fighting style was indeed similar to his own.

Many techniques and methods, even signature moves, but that was definitely not him.

The Red Flower Magic Armor wasn’t Li Xiu’s private property, but it was custom-made for him and had practically become his identity code outside. If someone used the Red Flower Magic Armor and the name God to commit heinous acts, Li Xiu couldn’t stand idly by.
