BXBX NOVEL Chapter 434 "I Think This Woman Must Be Scared Witless~"
Sam hurries to the trading town\'s largest firm, Friendly Trade, seeking Guteman Carlisle. After all, he\'s of the boss\'s family - the details should be relayed. What surprises him is Carlisle seems wholly unconcerned, even laughing.
"Hahaha~~"
David stands up from the couch, laughing, "I was just fretting about not having a way to make a good profit off those bastards. And here they\'ve delivered themselves to my doorstep, haha~~"
"..."
Sam frowns, not worried at all about the kidnapping, even happy?
...
Clos is very happy, despite being tied to a chair, her feet and waist wrapped in vines. Yet, she is still very happy.
"You... Why are you so cheerful even though you\'re tied up here?"
Ichiro Kobayashi, with tall, verdant grass growing on his head, releases two potted plants. Under his manipulation, they grow into sturdy vines, further binding the woman\'s hands. He can\'t understand, why is she still so happy even though she\'s been kidnapped.
Clos smiles, "I\'m going to make money, of course, I\'m happy~"
"Make money?"
Ichiro Kobayashi is stunned for a moment before laughing, chuckling to his surrounding subordinates, "This woman is truly amusing, don\'t you think so?"
"Hahaha~"
"I think this woman must be scared witless~"
"She probably means that she\'s going to make money for us, haha~"
"She\'s quite attractive. I\'ve never had an experience with a Western woman."
"Don\'t be impatient, let\'s deal with the big issues first, then you can take your time with her."
Ichiro Kobayashi stands up, looking at the woman, "My men here, they are notoriously gentle. Haha~"
"Haha!"
"Um~"
Clos also starts laughing, looking at the vines on her body, "Could you bind me a bit tighter? It\'s too loose to leave any marks."
"..."
Ichiro Kobayashi drops his smile, finding the woman\'s request quite strange.
He asks blankly, "You\'re a masochist?"
Clos laughs breezily. "I just love earning more money."
...
After stripping the zombie clean in the small city, Ming turns to Rubio who is standing to one side, "It\'s your turn."
"Thank you~"
Rubio struggles to lift his longsword, still weakly unrecovered despite drinking several stamina potions. He feels this isn\'t heat exhaustion but some other illness.
Snap~
Snap~
...
A few minutes later, Rubio severed the zombie\'s head.
[Global Broadcast, Congratulations to the Western Europe Continent for overcoming the disaster. All participating survivors are awarded 200,000 experience points and 50,000 gold coins.]
[Obtain the Cup of Defense. All survivors in Western Europe will receive an 80% BUFF reward for the killing experience, lasting 72 hours.]
[Goodbye.]
[Gentle Reminder: Countdown to leave the disaster area: 30 minutes.]
Ming takes a box handed over by Rubio. Rubio says it\'s a reward for completing the hidden task. After some consideration, Ming hands the box back to Rubio, "You keep it. We\'re friends, all that before was just a joke."
"..."
Rubio stares blankly at the man, thinking him a greedy miser. But he\'s shown such brotherhood - I was wrong about you!
He shakes Ming\'s hand with emotion, "Thank you, Mr. Gutman. You truly are a good person."
"Hmm hmm, it\'s okay, it\'s what I should do. Be more careful in the future."
"Yes, don\'t worry~"
Rubio collapses into Ming\'s arms, fainting.
Ming feels awful - his hands are far too toxic! No hope for a wife now!
...
In Trade City, Hotta Ichishu is the minister from the Sun Empire stationed in Trade City. He speaks to the man with smooth and shiny skin before him, "Our Sun Empire wouldn\'t do such a thing. It must be someone with malicious intentions trying to stir up war between us."
David laughs, "Is that so? Then I can rest assured. You should know that the woman is from our Gutman family, and she\'s our leader\'s prized woman. If anything happens to her, even if it\'s just a strand of hair missing, I believe with our leader\'s temperament, he will certainly make those who did this have no place to be buried. Of course, I\'m not threatening you, since it\'s not you who did it~"
"Is there anything else, or can I leave now?"
Hotta Ichishu stands up, ready to leave.
Sam angrily says, "F**k! It\'s your people who did this, and you still want to leave!"
David pushes Sam aside, laughing as he says to Hotta Ichishu, "Go ahead, if you happen to encounter those who kidnapped our Miss Clos, please tell them to take good care of her. Thanks a lot~"
"Hmph~"
Hotta Ichishu snorts coldly and leaves the room.
Sam is still angry, "My men clearly saw that his people had communicated with the kidnappers, yet he won\'t admit it! Damn it!"
"Of course, he wouldn\'t admit~"
David leans back on the sofa, taking a sip from his water cup, "He is dissociating himself from this incident. Don\'t worry, soon the kidnappers will send a message to negotiate terms."
At this moment, David\'s subordinate walks in and places a small box before him. Inside is a strand of golden hair and a note. On the note, the words are crookedly written: [Mr. Gutman, please come to the Black Valley at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Remember, only one person can come, otherwise, you will receive Miss Clos\'s head.]
"..."
Beside him, Sam secretly admires Carlisle\'s astuteness - the envoy just left and already the kidnappers sent a note!
"Oh my God~"
David picks up the strand of hair, exclaiming, "How much money is this worth!"
...
Wu Teda Tsugai, sitting on the throne, asks, "How are the arrangements?"
Hengichi Kagawa, who is kneeling respectfully to the left, answers, "Ah, Your Majesty, everything is in order. I have sent people to notify them that the meeting place is in the valley. As long as he comes, he will enter the quiet valley of that... that higher god, and no one will know that we did it."
"Will he go alone?"
"The Gutman family is just a family and not very large. Even if they all go, they will only be food for that higher god."
"Good."
Wu Teda Tsugai nods, excited in his heart. If he can kill the member of the god-slaying Gutman family, he can be promoted to a true god!
At this moment, someone rushes in. It is Hotta Ichishu. He nervously says, "Bad news. I just investigated, and that Gutman family is from the 109th zone!!"
"109!"
"It\'s 109?"
"We are not ready to fight with 109 yet!"
The other three in the hall look at each other.
"What?"
Hengichi Kagawa can hardly believe it and reconfirms, "You\'re saying 109?"
"Yes!"
Hotta Ichishu nods vigorously, "I just found out too, and I\'m very sure!"
"How did you find out?"
"I got the information from the Great Philanthropist Intelligence Agency!"
"Have you ever seen the leader of that intelligence agency?"
"Never~ but, their information is generally... accurate... sometimes."
"!!"
Hengichi Kagawa turns to look at King, and the other three people in the hall also look over. At this time, it\'s up to you to make a decision.
"Why are you all looking at me? Are we supposed to let that woman go?"
Wu Teda Tsugai knows that if he wants to become a god, there may only be this one chance. He resolutely says, "He has killed our people, we must repay blood with blood, proceed as planned!"
