The strong man’s breathing was steady, and his body was stacked to the edge.

He stood out like a crane among a flock of chickens in the tavern.

“His body resiliency has exceeded 160 points. He should be a prospective martial artist who has already attracted the spirit into his body and started to use the spirit energy to open his meridians like Liu Kui,” Qin Shou said in a low voice.
This kind of quasi-martial artist was considered invincible to ordinary people.

The last time Bai Yu was able to block Liu Kui was because of the Halo effect the brought upon himself.

Now his body resiliency was still stuck at 152 points.

Even if he added the mechanical equipment.

The success rate of winning with this brawny man was a 50 50.

“Gentlemen, excuse me.”

‘The brawny man walked over and politely bowed. “May I see the invitation card for tonight’s event. If you don’t have it, then I suggest you finish this cup and leave. We will close before 8:30 p.m. tonight.”
Shou Qin took out the two admission tickets from his pocket.

After the brawny man confirmed that it was not a faux, he carefully handed them back and then turned around to walk to the next table.

‘What was worth mentioning was that the uncle across from him was also here to participate in the auction.

He was drunk. After the brawny man checked, he picked up the wine bottle and walked to the toilet.

Shou Qin scooched over and quietly whispered, “Bai Yu, I didn’t bring any of my men. I only took a piece of mechanical equipment and a bottle of magic potion that Pang Fei gave me. It can explode seeds in a short time.”
Bai Yu could not help but ridicule his friend, “Are you expecting something to happen at the trade fair? Or have you read too many novels recently?”

Qin Shou’s face was serious, “This is the Northern District. Killing people and stealing goods is a common thing. Obviously, we have to be prepared.”

Bai Yu thought about the security of the Northern District and agreed. For the first time in his life, Qin Shou’s words were not without reason.

A gentleman hid his weapon and waited for the right time to move. As a steady man, he definitely should have come prepared.

He touched the pocket of his coat and said in a low voice, “R-eight skull crusher revolver. I saved it after I eliminated Bruce. There are only six bullets in the magazine, which can hurt a sequence 9 martial artist.
“IT’s a bloody effective warrior mechanical equipment.

“Oh, there’s also this satellite phone.

“Last time, Pang Fei gave it to me to directly call the Church’s Peace Bureau’s private line. We can call for help as soon as possible.”

Pang Fei had given different degrees of protection to the two of them.

Bai Yu was a little calmer when handling matters. He could consider the big picture and also be more able to control his emotions. He was flexible and had many different solutions to problems.
Once he encounters a problem, the satellite phone would be able to call for help in time to deal with the situation.

On the other hand, Qin Shou had always followed the boorish routine, so Pang Fei directly gave him a bottle of emergency magic potion.

Pang Fei was just taking it as insurance. After all, this was Linjiang City, where the secret organizations and resistance forces were the weakest. There would not be any major problems.

She was soaked in water, and blood kept flowing out of her wrist. More and more blood flowed out, and soon, the entire bathtub was dyed red.

When the chanting reached its peak, a pale hand reached out from the already blood-filled bathtub.

The chanting of the surrounding black-robed men stopped abruptly.

Slowly, the woman — who had already lost her life — began to crawl out from the bathtub. She moved like a toddler.

Her entire body was covered in blood. She stood up shakily, opened her eyes with difficulty, and looked around.

Soon, she adapted to this new body.

“Y-your strength is p-pitifully weak, and you’re not e-extraordinary. Is this t-t-the only body you’ve prepared for m-me?” The woman spoke with difficulty as she stammered her words.

The black-robed men surrounding the bathtub quickly dispersed. Then, two other black-robed men who had been sitting in the basement walked over.

One of them said ina sharp voice, “It’s good considering it’s a suitable corpse for you.

“Bruce, not only did you fail the mission because of your arrogance, but you also allowed a piece of demon paper to be taken in by the church.

“It’s such a big mistake. We resurrected you because of our past friendship.

“If Lord Katz doesn’t forgive you in time, your crime will be unforgivable!”

Bruce’s eyes flickered. “Taken in by the church? Charmen, where’s my family?”

“Dead. Taken care of by the church. This is the consequence of your own failure.

“I’ve already said it before. Using the demon paper to seduce a female streamer, even if an extraordinary incident breaks out, you will be traced back to the source.

“We circulated the news of your death to your rich circle.

“Now that you’ve died once, your identity has been invalidated.”

The sharp voice said coldly.

‘There was a long silence. Bruce looked at his awkward and brand-new body and sighed. His good-looking eyebrows seemed to be thinking about something.

“Our plan hasn’t completely failed. The demon paper will be classified by the church as the lowest D grade sealed artifact. It will be stored in the storage. It won’t be difficult to break through there.
“Moreover.

“Lord Katz had made arrangements and was already infiltrating a high-ranking member of the church!

“Now, we need to properly prepare and welcome the arrival of the Day of Destruction!”

Another black-robed person said in a hoarse voice, “Bruce, you know this city better than us. We need your help.”

Bruce subconsciously brushed the long hair on his forehead and sneered, “Charmen, what else can I do with this appearance? Any ordinary person who comes out now can kill me easily.”

This was the corpse of an ordinary woman.

Her body resiliency was pitifully weak and she did not have any extraordinary power.

The black-robed man called Charmen smiled and said, “Old friend, we’ve already prepared a recovery ceremony for you. Tonight’s trade fair has a gift for you..”
