Wen Wen walked into the room with great composure, sizing up the people present.
On the way, he had used the hunting terminal to check the backgrounds of the old inn's employees, getting a general idea of what kind of people they were.
The association had kept secrets from Red Beard, but they had thoroughly investigated his subordinates long ago, so Wen Wen had a plan for how to deal with these individuals.
"I'm willing to go with you to see Red Beard. Can you release her first? She helped me once," Wen Wen said, pointing at Chai Yun.
Ju Mo remained silent. Wen Wen's willingness to accompany him to see Red Beard was certainly a good thing.
It might even earn him a reward from Red Beard. However, he had just finished preparing to judge Chai Yun and releasing her based on this person's words would cost him face.
"She actually helped you? Then she truly is a traitor. Traitors must die!" Sister Zhao exclaimed.
Except for the old security guard with buck teeth, none of these people had witnessed Wen Wen's power, so they didn't fear him.
"If it weren't for the fact that Lord Red Beard wanted to see you two, you would also be punished," Tong Zhuang Zhuang said grimly.
"You want to punish me... Come if you have the ability," Wen Wen said, somewhat speechlessly.
"You..."
Seeing Ju Mo's displeased expression, Tong Zhuang Zhuang, though angry, did not continue to argue with Wen Wen.
But Wen Wen wouldn't let him be, raising his middle finger directly at him and then squirting him in the face with water from a water gun...
The hot-tempered Tong Zhuang Zhuang jumped up, sliding towards Wen Wen like an eel, his sharp knife pointed directly at Wen Wen's temple.
"Tong Zhuang Zhuang, come back!"
Before Ju Mo could finish speaking, Barcode, standing behind Wen Wen, caught Tong Zhuang Zhuang's hand and pushed it upwards, deflecting his attack, and then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.
As he landed, Barcode fired several shots at Tong Zhuang Zhuang's joints, incapacitating him.
Although Barcode was no match for Wen Wen, his combat experience was undoubtedly top-tier among those of the same level. The injured Tong Zhuang Zhuang was no match for Barcode at all.
Although he had looked at everyone's information, he still felt a bit of pity for these deformed individuals, so he planned to observe them and perhaps offer them a place to stay if they weren't too bad.
However, sometimes pitiable people also had detestable qualities. Wen Wen had been outside listening when these people discussed judging Chai Yun.
Based on what he observed, the old security guard with buck teeth had good intentions and could be useful. Xiao Mai Dou, while not very bright, wasn't too bad either.
The old lady was already frail, and there was no harm in letting her fend for herself.
Among the remaining three, Wen Wen intended to send Ju Mo to the containment facility. As for Sister Zhao and Tong Zhuang Zhuang, he would either kill them or capture them; they could not be allowed to harm others.
Seeing that a fight had broken out, Sister Zhao's first reaction was to reach for Chai Yun's face, as she had long found Chai Yun displeasing to the eye.
Seeing Sister Zhao's movement, a fierce glint flashed in Wen Wen's eyes. His figure instantly appeared beside her, grabbing the hand reaching for Chai Yun and snapping it off!
And apart from Ju Mo, no one else saw how Wen Wen moved.
Ju Mo could see, but he couldn't dodge. It was then that he realized Wen Wen's power.
Whether they could take Wen Wen to see Red Beard didn't depend on Ju Mo, but on whether Wen Wen himself wanted to go.
Sister Zhao, with her severed hand, let out a painful cry, then her strange eyes opened and sprayed a white web.
Wen Wen snorted lightly, opened his mouth, and spewed out a purplish-black blast that destroyed the white web and Sister Zhao's head.
"Stop, don't fight anymore!" Ju Mo shouted. Sudan Fiction Network
Thanks to his constant chanting of positive energy sayings, Ju Mo possessed a powerful voice. After his roar, everyone stopped fighting in unison.
Ju Mo and the others felt a sense of lingering fear. With the combat strength Wen Wen had displayed, if a fight had truly broken out there, then more than just Sister Zhao would have died.
This was a more powerful opponent than Ji Qin, and even with the demonic sword, victory would not have been possible.
"We can stop, but you have to take us to find Red Beard."
Wen Wen easily removed the white net from Chai Yun, then patted her hair to comfort her and said.
"Yes, of course," Ju Mo agreed repeatedly.
Afterward, Wen Wen, with the shaken Chai Yun, entered an empty room.
Wen Wen smiled and said, "See? I told you I'd come to save you."
"Thank you..."
Before Chai Yun could finish speaking, Wen Wen knocked her unconscious and placed her in the containment facility first.
Next, they would be heading to Red Beard's location. No matter where he put Chai Yun, he wouldn't feel at ease, so he decided to keep her in the containment facility until everything was over, then release her.
Following that, Wen Wen and the other two followed Ju Mo to Red Beard's location.
He wasn't afraid that the remaining people would take the opportunity to escape; they had nowhere else to go besides here.
...
Meanwhile, an airplane with a somewhat whimsical design was flying towards Baoya City.
If this plane were shrunk, it would resemble a toy plane played with by children, but this plane could fly faster than a real airplane.
Several people were seated inside the plane. The leader had short, black-red hair and wore a leopard print fur coat, exuding a flamboyant aura.
He was the superior of Ji Qin and the other three, known as the "Joker."
In the "Absurd Words" organization, only the leader, revered as the "Prank King," possessed the strength of the True Sequence realm. The remaining four "Upper Sequence Calamity" superhumans, such as the "Joker" and "Whisperer," served as the main pillars of "Absurd Words."
The Prank King was already old and did not have many years left to live. The Joker and the other three had been vying for power to become the next leader.
The Joker first absorbed the assassin organization "Codex" and then set his sights on the sword qi crystals that could greatly increase his strength.
He had initially thought he would only be dealing with an uncooperative assassin, but he hadn't expected that all four of his dispatched subordinates would be taken down.
According to the last transmitted intelligence, they had gone to Red Beard's old inn to seize the sword qi crystals.
Therefore, the Joker himself concocted the scenario: Red Beard had also targeted the sword qi crystals and personally eliminated his four subordinates!
For this reason, he intended to personally go find Red Beard to demand an explanation and, by the way, retrieve the sword qi crystals.
Red Beard, like him, possessed Upper Sequence Calamity strength. However, Red Beard was a lone figure, while the Joker had several powerful subordinates.
More importantly, Red Beard was ultimately just a craftsman. Even with Upper Sequence strength, it would be difficult for him to contend with the Joker.
The Hunter Association could do nothing about him because he had a way to coerce the association. However, that method was useless against the Joker, who did not care how many people would accompany Red Beard to the grave after he killed him!
Furthermore, Red Beard should have a lot of good items in his possession. After taking those items, his chances of securing the leadership position would be even greater.
