The girl clung to the wall, her fingers gripping the mottled surface tightly, her eyes fixed on the battle not far away.
Bright yellow light filled almost the berserker's eyes as he drew closer to Heo.
The enormous shadow of the axe relentlessly pursued He Ao's footsteps.
It approached his neck.
I'm having a bit of a writer's block. There should be more tonight.
Chapter 337 The Mastermind and the New Dungeon Character (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe!)
As the berserk state continues, the berserker's intelligence seems to decline. His strength grows stronger, but his attack methods become more simple and direct.
"Hahaha, you damned little bug who only knows how to run away, you are only the second person in recent years to have seen my strongest form. You deserve an honor. Die!"
The last glimmer of yellow light obscured the berserker's eyes, and in that instant, his strength and speed doubled again as he charged toward Heo.
That tiny difference was leveled in an instant.
Seeing this, Notting shook his head slightly in the distance and pressed the dial button.
The girl on the street clung tightly to the wall.
The berserker's enormous, grinning head grew larger and larger in Heo's vision.
He Ao's lips curled into a smile.
It's now.
The main consciousness, spanning half the planet, landed on this body.
A faint, invisible purple glow flashed across He Ao's dark pupils.
A vast divine sense overflowed from his mind, taking in everything around him.
Hyper memory, activate!
He looked at the berserker in front of him.
Mental interference!
In that instant, the berserker's body froze for a moment.
In that instant of pause, the refined-looking man in front of him drew a dagger from his waist, its cold light piercing precisely two centimeters below the berserker's heart.
As blood splattered out with a yellow glow, the berserker's entire body suddenly froze.
The huge metal axe fell to the ground, shattering the concrete floor.
A powerful life force surged from the Nightfall Dagger into Heo's body.
What He Ao just pierced was the convergence point of energy flow within the berserker's body, which was also his fatal weakness.
Although the Nightfall Dagger could not fully absorb the power of a C-rank, a portion of this massive flow of energy was still converted by the dagger and flowed into He Ao's body.
He Ao drew his dagger, shut down his divine sense and extrasensory perception, and took a step forward.
The berserker's massive body tilted forward and fell, just missing Heo from behind.
A sound like a landslide echoed throughout the street.
He Ao turned around, took out a tissue from his clothes, and wiped the blood splattered on his face.
Then he crouched down and reached into the back pocket of the berserker's pants.
At this moment, the berserker's body, which was originally as large as a small mountain, completely lost its support and lay sprawled on the ground like mud.
All the bones and blood vessels that supported his body were shattered by the rampaging energy when He Ao just broke through that energy convergence point.
He Ao took out a cell phone from his pocket and dialed a recent call.
"Hello, is this Lord Berserker?"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end of the phone; it was the envoy who had just left that morning. "Have you completed your mission?"
“I think,” He Ao began slowly, his cold and hoarse voice coming through the microphone, “that the valuation this morning was a bit off. My businesses should be worth at least 150 million gold coins. What do you think?”
There was a dead silence on the other end of the line.
"Remember, exchange it for an equivalent amount of gold."
He Ao hung up the phone and threw it on the berserker's corpse.
He slowly stood up.
With an incredulous expression, Nordin slowly walked back to Heo's side. He looked up and stared blankly at Heo, like a stiff puppet.
“A stroke of luck, now perhaps we can talk about something a little deeper,” Heo turned his head and tucked the dagger into his waistband.
"Can I finally meet the 'big shot' behind you?"
At this moment, Nordin finally understood Heo's purpose.
Everything the other party did was to find dawn, to find themselves, and to find the 'boss' behind them.
The other person wants to join their group.
Being able to kill a berserker means possessing combat power close to B-rank, the strongest among those below B-rank.
This represents the pinnacle of combat power in the entire world.
With such a powerful figure joining them, their group's strength will increase by leaps and bounds.
After a brief moment of thought, he looked at He Ao and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he took the satellite phone and walked away.
He Ao watched his retreating figure and smiled.
The design work of the past two days has reached the final stage of fruition.
Hu Wen has a clean background; he is a fugitive being hunted by the research institute and is highly unlikely to be an inside agent within the institute, so he is trustworthy.
Before this incident, although Dawn had done bad things, he always kept to a certain extent and never offended any major organization, thus keeping his power within a reasonable range.
After years of hiding, Dawn launched a massive attack, taking down the world's most powerful research institute.
If Dawn hasn't gone mad, then she must have recently acquired some powerful force that allows them to be somewhat unafraid of a large organization like the research institute.
The owner of this power is most likely the mastermind behind this incident, and also the person He Ao guessed was the one who took the central processor from the ruins tower ten years ago.
He probably acquired some new knowledge from the central processing unit, which gave him the courage to challenge the world order.
For a newly emerging force that aspires to challenge the world order, strong, fresh blood is in dire need.
Therefore, if 'Hu Wen' joins the company at this time, there is a high chance that he will be accepted.
How can one demonstrate their strength?
He Ao couldn't just kill any powerful person, so the Tia Empire came into his sights.
In fact, according to the original plan, Heo thought that the envoy from the Tia Empire would arrive later, and he had prepared a plan to delay Notting.
However, the arrival of the Tia Empire in the end accelerated Heo's progress.
He Ao didn't make money off them in any particular way. They said those properties were worth 100 million gold coins. With the strength of the Tia Empire, it's not impossible to recover the properties, it just might take a while. He Ao gave them a year.
Of course, they wanted to make a huge profit without any investment, demanding He Ao's loyalty and interest payments. He Ao was already being very generous by selling them an estate of equal value.
Moreover, if they really don't do it and retreat to their defensive positions, He Ao is unlikely to take the initiative to attack, unless they attack He Ao.
Such as this time.
The Tia Empire is indeed used to being arrogant. When threatened, it tries to kill to establish its authority, and immediately sent a C-level officer over.
He now has a target to demonstrate his strength.
Of course, He Ao directly
In the past, if I said I wanted to join you, I would definitely be judged as having ulterior motives, so He Ao laid the groundwork by saying that he was 'short of money'.
From asking the Coast Guard to reclaim the property, to selling the property for a good price, to the extra money after just killing the berserker.
He didn't say it explicitly, but he emphasized the idea that he desperately needed money and wouldn't hesitate to use special means to achieve it.
With Nordin's keen insight, it was clear that he was able to grasp this concept.
This also connects to the previous story of Dawn hiring Hu Wen to do things for ten million Chinese currency.
This further reinforced that impression.
Presenting weaknesses directly might seem deliberate, but he can subtly let others discover them on their own.
About half an hour later, Nordin came back and handed him the phone.
"The boss wants to talk to you."
He picked up the phone, which was connected to a video call. On the other end of the video call was a man wearing a mechanical mask.
really,
The other party was neither the leader of Dawn nor Jeno.
Those two people don't need masks to hide their identities.
Dawn hides a third B-level powerhouse.
He Ao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The reason he was so determined to confirm the identity of this 'boss' was that the two B-level members of Dawn had completely different styles of doing things than he had previously guessed about the personality of the person who had entered the tower.
He Ao felt that the person was very similar to himself, meticulous and cautious, while Leon Lai's two publicly known B-level agents had a more direct style of doing things.
Therefore, he guessed that there was probably a third person hiding in the shadows, remotely controlling part of Dawn's forces, and this third person was the one he was looking for.
As it turns out, he was right.
He Ao looked at the boss in the video.
The biggest problem he might be facing right now is...
The unnaturalness of the puppet crystal ball manipulation.
Since the puppet crystal ball came from this 'boss', the other party should be very clear about the function and effect of the puppet crystal ball.
