Kyle Manufacturing Company is actually an enterprise owned by Inoan.

If Ainoan had truly been following Ronald's camp, he couldn't possibly be unaware of Hank's situation.

Moreover, Hank used the money he got from his betrayal to repair his prosthetic body and even replaced it with a Class D prosthetic body.

Wilderness hunters are all hard-working, risky people; how could they possibly have so much money to bribe Hank?

Similarly, these wilderness hunters simply cannot afford mercenaries capable of attacking C-level targets.

He Ao's note

Looking at Ainoan, he continued, "You sent someone disguised as a wilderness hunter to hire mercenaries to ambush my father at a crucial moment, causing him serious injury and ultimately leading to the destruction of our camp."

The reason you did all this is because the instinctive choice for those homeless wanderers who lost their homes in the wilderness is not to go to the city, but to seek refuge in another powerful wilderness wanderer camp.

Because of my father's management, our camp has a good reputation, so most wilderness wanderers actually prioritize seeking refuge with us. The more wilderness wanderers seek refuge with us, the fewer people go to the city, and the fewer 'workers' you get.

In this matter, my father has become a benchmark. As long as he and our camp exist, homeless wanderers in the wilderness will always have a place to go without having to go to the city.

You must take down this benchmark, but you can't do it in the name of the city garrison. Once the city garrison's authority is used, the wilderness wanderers will be even more afraid to enter the city.

So you chose a roundabout method, severely injuring my father, and then slowly wearing him down with the rampaging beasts.

“You are very smart,” Ainoan laughed, “just as smart as your father.”

He stared at Heo, continuing to approach step by step. "You've guessed this far, so you must have killed Kyle, and saved all the homeless people in my factory?"

"Child, do you know why your father died?"

Ainan continued with a light laugh,

"Because of his unfounded sense of responsibility, after he was injured, he could have easily discarded those useless burdens and quickly recovered from his injuries."

With his abilities, he could have been a guest of honor anywhere, but he exhausted himself to death to protect those useless burdens, and so do you.

"You saved those wanderers from the wilderness. I guess the reason you're blocking my way here is because Christos promised you that those wanderers could live peacefully in the city, right?"

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and said softly, "I know you're talking to me to buy time. Since you were able to accurately snipe my plan, you must have sent someone to find the Legion Commander. Indeed, the Legion Commander can deal with the surrounding monsters and can kill me."

He looked at He Ao with a playful smile.

"But my men have been with the legion commander the whole time. Until the first half of last night, the legion commander should still be at the position where the A-level alien beast is standing. It is 11:55 now. Even if the legion commander sets off immediately at midnight, he will not be back until 12:15 at the earliest."

These twenty minutes are enough for me to kill you and Christos, and then take care of the Nord Corporation.

"Do you think the legion commander will still be able to kill me, now that I'm the mayor, after everything is resolved?"

Heo did not answer his question, but looked at a tall building in the distance, where the television screen was broadcasting the inauguration ceremony in front of the Palace of Glory.

The current time is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.

He's bracelet had already burned to a crisp, and he could no longer contact Eve.

Just as he turned his head, Ainoan suddenly attacked.

He leaped to the side and landed right in the center of the rooftop.

But Ainoan was clearly faster than him.

As He Ao landed in the center of the rooftop, a strong yet aged arm was already in front of him.

The surging flames transformed into fiery ropes that enveloped He Ao's body, while a hand with some lines gripped He Ao's neck and slowly lifted him up.

“Good boy,” Ainon said with a smile, looking at Heo.

“You won’t live to see the legion commander return. I know you’re very responsible. Once you’re dead, I’ll take back those wilderness wanderers you released, one by one, and make them work endlessly, 24 hours a day, until their lives are exhausted.”

I will build factory after factory, capture all the wilderness wanderers, drain them like disposable energy sources, and then discard them.

“Child,” his voice was weathered yet kind, his hand tightening until it strangled He Ao, “you need to understand that there are always some people in this world who are disposable resources. Their purpose in life is to give us everything they have, and then be discarded like trash.”

“A single energy source,” He Ao said slowly and laboriously, his throat choked and his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, “can also think, can also feel pain, can cry, can fantasize about the future, and can also feel the sweetness when it eats sugar.”

He forced a smile. "I wasn't actually waiting for the legion commander."

Ainoan was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

While he was stunned, He Ao forcefully pushed aside the flames surrounding him. A flash of silver sword light cut his wrist. Then he stretched out his legs, clamped the old man's body between them, and then pushed his body down forcefully, stretching out his hands to hug Ainoan tightly.

Bright red blood dripped from his wrist onto the cement floor, filling in the hidden patterns on the ground.

A dazzling light shone beneath their feet, forming a magnificent and intricate purple heart shape.

A strange and alluring charm emanates from this pattern.

"what are you up to?"

Looking at the pattern under his feet, Ai Nuoan had a bad feeling. He released his grip on He Ao's neck and tried to shake him off and leave, but He Ao held him tightly.

“I have obtained it,” the ancient chant echoed in Aino’s ears, “All things in the world are nothingness, and the eternal universe is joy.”

The giant heart-shaped pattern emitted a dazzling light, and chaotic emotions flooded He Ao's mind.

A hazy, ethereal figure with a stunningly beautiful and graceful form appeared in He Ao's mind.

He communicated with Ho's spirit, transmitting waves of restless energy and establishing a connection with Ho's consciousness.

Desire witch.

When Heo thwarted the Witch Church's plot on the top floor of the Nord Consortium, he briefly received a 'divine revelation' from the Witch of Desire. The Witch of Desire took a liking to him and wanted to give him 'divine favor,' but he refused.

But it was also at that time that he obtained the communication ritual that enabled him to communicate with the Witch of Desire.

However, in the subsequent instances, he did not need to contact the Witch of Desire.

The rituals of the Witch of Desire differ from those of the God of Knowledge.

The ritual array of the god of knowledge is simple, but it requires seven different ritual materials, which must be arranged in a specific order.

The ritual magic circle of the Witch of Desire is very complex.

However, it does not require physical ritual materials, but something else.

Emotions, ranging from calm to intense.

Any emotion is acceptable: anger, resentment, greed, hatred, lust.

The rituals of the Witch of Desire are not limited to sexual intercourse between men and women, but sexual intercourse between men and women is the easiest way to arouse emotions, so it is used by many followers of the Witch Church.

Therefore, He Ao never sought out Ainoan to resolve the issue of Ronald's father's death.

He needs this emotion, this emotion that ranges from calm to intense, as material for the ritual.

The array beneath his feet was specially set up by him before he set off that morning. The building had long been abandoned and was an excellent trap location.

The material used was the invisible material provided by Christos, but Heo did not finish the drawing. Instead, he left a part of the pattern to be completed with his own blood.

The complete ritual pattern possesses extraordinary properties and is easily discovered by Ainoan.

At this moment, He Ao's thoughts also connected with that exquisitely beautiful being beyond endless space and time, filled with all sorts of emotions and desires. Then, he whispered in his mind,

"The god of knowledge asked me to tell you that your offspring is too fragile."

In the sky square of Nord, Heo destroyed the daughter of the Witch of Desire with the 'divine punishment' of the God of Knowledge.

A dazzling, vast purple light streaked across the sky, tearing through the dark clouds and illuminating the earth.

The Witch of Desire gave no reply, but even through that fragile, collapsing connection, He Ao could feel her surging rage.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.

Hopefully, He won't cause trouble for his good friend.

A surge of purple light fell in front of He Ao, condensing into a tiny purple dot, and then suddenly erupted, engulfing He Ao and Ai Nuoan, who was being held captive by He Ao.

Twisted emotions and desires surged through He Ao's mind like waves, attempting to engulf his consciousness and distort his spirit.

······

When all the glory faded, the once abandoned building was now nothing but ruins. A staggering figure peeled off the concrete slab hanging from his body and struggled to his feet.

His body had been pierced through, with most of his bones exposed to the air, and countless twisted pieces of flesh writhing on his body, seemingly trying to break free and leave.

As he had predicted, the Witch of Desire went a little lighter than the God of Knowledge.

After all, it's the first time. If it happens a couple more times, I'll be too rough.

The reason why He Ao did not choose to contact the God of Knowledge this time was because the God of Knowledge had completely destroyed the top few floors of a building last time. If he contacted him again this time, it might not be as simple as just destroying him and Ainoan.

My old friend has a terrible temper.

The population density in cities is so high that even a small fluctuation could result in the deaths of thousands.

Killing someone is illegal.

Heo, carrying a silver short sword, painstakingly dug through the ruins until he finally found what he was looking for.

An old head, with only half a shoulder remaining, lay amidst the ruins. Its eyes were wide open, staring fixedly ahead, its life already extinguished.

The divine punishments from He's two friends, old and new, primarily consisted of mental attacks, with the Witch of Desire's mental attacks accounting for an even larger proportion than those from the God of Knowledge.

many.

This made it easier for He Ao, who was weak but had slightly stronger mental resistance, to survive.

But even if he survives, he won't live long.

Just then, he heard staggering footsteps and a soft call behind him.

"leader?"

He Ao turned around and looked at the figure behind him. His vision was already blurry, but he still recognized the figure behind him.

"Penny, how did you find your way here?"

“Chief,” Penny staggered over and stood in front of Heo, tears streaming down her face, “You said I would be the best hunter in the camp.”

Tracking and finding clues is the foundation of a hunter's skill.

"Did I say that?"

He Ao chuckled and slowly sat down against a broken concrete pillar. "I can't remember."

"Chief, don't sleep, don't sleep! If you fall asleep, you'll never wake up again. I'll take you to a doctor. Don't you know that amazing doctor? He can definitely cure you..."

Penny reached out to pick up Heo, but Heo gently stopped her.

"Penny, is it dawn yet?"
