The two, Ben Bor and Ba Bor, climbed up from the sewer after dismantling a toilet from a first-floor bathroom. They rinsed off their filth with water from the detached pipe.
Ba Bor let out a furious roar, eager to wreak havoc, but found the stairwell eerily quiet, devoid of any signs of activity.
Ben Bor twitched his nose slightly, his brow furrowing. "It seems this place is empty. At most, there are only two or three people left."
"Did that human stand us up? I'm going to kill him!" Ba Bor clenched his fist, radiating killing intent.
Ben Bor helplessly tapped his head. "Don't be rash. Let's search first. If we can't find anyone, then we kill. The liaison told us to keep a low profile."
The two searched briefly and found the usually heavily guarded security company deserted. This made Ben Bor slightly wary.
However, it was only slightly. Although Ben Bor knew little about the world on land, he knew that most land-dwelling humans were incredibly weak. As long as they didn't provoke a demon hunter, they could basically walk with their heads held high.
When the two reached the second-floor lobby, they finally saw another living being.
Their target for extortion, Feng Ruixing, sat calmly sipping tea in a chair. In front of Feng Ruixing stood a young man in a black combat suit, his eyes gleaming, as he rubbed his hands together while looking at the two of them.
Ben Bor smugly said to Ba Bor, "Ba Bor, humans are just so timid. We didn't even need to show our strength, and they chose to surrender."
Ba Bor echoed him with a simple-minded chuckle, finding it a bit boring that no one was there for him to kill.
Seeing the two, Ben Bor naturally assumed Feng Ruixing had surrendered. After all, according to his intelligence, Feng Ruixing was just an ordinary businessman with no power to resist him.
As long as they could secure a stable source of funds for the organization, the two of them would become official members. Then they wouldn't have to return to the tedious Oye Water City and listen to the maddening whispers all day.
However, he failed to notice that the two before them were not ordinary people. Feng Ruixing's abilities were indistinguishable from those of an ordinary person before they were activated, and it was wishful thinking to find any supernatural traits in Heng An.
Furthermore, they were not only facing Heng An and Feng Ruixing. Behind a one-way glass, four Disaster-class monsters were eating and drinking while intently watching the scene.
As soon as the two of them made any move, they could be apprehended.
"Since you want me to provide you with funds, you should at least tell me who you are," Feng Ruixing said elegantly, holding his teacup.
Ben Bor arrogantly replied, "That's not something a lowly human like you can know."
"Tsk..." Feng Ruixing shook his head and refused. "Then I must regretfully decline. While I make money as fast as wind blows it away, I won't give it for free."
Ben Bor sneered and said to Ba Bor, "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Ba Bor, show him our strength!"
With that, Ba Bor took off his backpack and pulled out brick after brick, stacking them up to a height of one person.
As Ba Bor meticulously arranged the bricks, the scene fell silent.
Feng Ruixing and Heng An stared blankly, somewhat confused as to why they had suddenly started building with blocks.
The four monsters, meanwhile, temporarily set down their food, curious about what these two fish-men were doing.
Far away in Qingchuan City, Wen Wen's expression turned strange. He could roughly guess what was about to happen.
Ben Bor pointed to the bricks. "These are all top-quality blue bricks. Each one is harder than your bones, yet to us, these bricks are as fragile as tofu dregs." Sudian Novel Network
"Yaaahhh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ba Bor roared and cleaved a brick with his palm. The hard bricks cracked instantly, and Ba Bor's hand plunged straight into the ground!
"How is it? Aren't you shocked by our strength? If you dare to resist us, these bricks will be your fate!"
Ben Bor said proudly. After coming to the surface world, he had watched a few movies and was deeply influenced.
One of those movies displayed strength in a similar manner, where the other party was astonished by the splitting of a few red bricks. If his brother could split blue bricks as high as a person, wouldn't that be even more astonishing!
Feng Ruixing covered his face, and Heng An's fighting spirit completely vanished. He felt that fighting with such an idiot was pointless.
The other monsters, like Tao Qingqing, became even happier. This was more interesting than watching a movie, and it seemed these two simpletons wouldn't require their intervention.
Feng Ruixing sighed, deeply regretting that he had asked 'Lord Black Cross' for help for such two individuals. Would Lord Black Cross think he was incapable because of this?
"Heng An, it's your turn to act. Whether you fry, stir-fry, boil, or eat these two fish as sashimi is up to you."
Heng An gagged. He had no desire to eat these foul-smelling, peculiar fish. Nevertheless, he drew his dagger and walked towards the two. Heng An had long been looking forward to fighting real monsters.
Ben Bor grinned sinisterly. "Ba Bor, you can eat this human."
Since talking nicely didn't work, they would let these two foolish humans witness their strength.
Ba Bor leaped several meters into the air and chopped down at Heng An's head with a "hand knife." He was already fantasizing about Heng An's body shattering like the bricks.
But for some reason, his hand knife became weak and powerless halfway. Heng An easily dodged it by jumping aside.
Then, Heng An used his dagger to slash upwards along Ba Bor's arm. The tough fish skin was cut open as if it were tofu, and foul-smelling fish blood splattered across the ground.
After being cut, Heng An wanted to press his advantage, but Ba Bor quickly retreated, looking at Heng An in horror, his fish eyes, the size of eggs, bulging as if they would pop out.
As he got close to this guy, his strength suddenly seemed to disappear. The scales that could withstand the immense pressure of the deep sea had become incredibly fragile.
"Ba Bor, don't fight him up close! Attack him with water bullets!"
Ba Bor took a deep breath, and a pale blue stream of water appeared in his mouth. He then spat a water droplet, the size of a green date, at Heng An.
This water droplet, named 'Water Bullet,' possessed immense force, capable of piercing rocks.
The water bullet traveled at bullet-like speed. Caught off guard, Heng An couldn't dodge it. Under Ba Bor's excited gaze, he was hit in the forehead by the droplet, which then streamed down his face.
Streaming down his face...
Ba Bor stared at Heng An in disbelief. Was his forehead harder than deep-sea rocks?
"Why wasn't it pierced? What is your head made of?"
Feng Ruixing threw a towel. Heng An took it and wiped the spit from his face. Smelling the foul odor on the towel, he bent over and gagged, only stopping after a while.
After he finished retching, Heng An looked up at Ba Bor with fierce resentment. "Stupid fellow, we're at odds now!"
Ba Bor touched his lips, thinking the other person was right. He did indeed have fish lips...
