.

However, this system is not entirely secure. After all, the developers of such systems in the underworld may still insert backdoors. Using this system simply prevents your information from being exposed to certain large corporations.

Aside from its communication function, the only other app installed on the entire bracelet is the 'Black Market' app.

He Ao opened the software.

The leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang is nicknamed "Poison Scorpion," and his black market level is lv3, which is higher than the account level He Ao obtained from Ishia.

He Ao clicked on the level indicator.

[Your current level is lv3. You can read forum information that lv0, lv1, lv2 and lv3 can read, purchase items in the mall that lv0, lv1, lv2 and lv3 can purchase, enjoy 1-on-1 private butler service, as well as lv3 exclusive 85% discount, and more bulk order discounts.]

*Accept more tasks, earn more points, and quickly level up to gain more privileges and benefits.

Your next live biological verification time is:

The content structure within the logo is largely similar to level 2, except that it offers higher privileges, more benefits, and more discounts.

In addition, level 3 also has a live biometric authentication function.

It seems that every so often it is necessary to verify whether the identity is being used by the person in question, and to verify whether the account owner is still alive.

He Ao glanced at the time; it was around 2 a.m., and there were still three hours until the next verification.

The leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang just said that biological verification will be conducted at 6:00 AM tomorrow.

Judging from the context at the time, the leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang probably considered the entire night as the 'previous day'.

It seems that He Ao doesn't have much time left.

He Ao exited his personal profile and opened the chat page.

This chat page has only one chat partner, a user with the nickname 'Cut Shadow Man'.

Opening the detailed chat interface reveals only two messages.

The first message was sent by Poison Scorpion to the Shadow Cutter. It described how an old man with a child fought his way to the top floor.

The entire statement contains no questions or discussions; it simply states the facts.

However, this statement was actually a threat. Scorpion was telling the Shadow Chaser that he had figured out the Shadow Chaser's purpose and that the other party was very strong. At the same time, he was also implying to the Shadow Chaser that if the price offered was not enough, he might side with He Ao.

The next message was a reply from the Shadow Cutter, sent just recently. It was simple: "[Kill him, and I'll give you the next training method.]"

After reading these two messages, He Ao clicked on the profile picture of the person who cut the shadow, but couldn't access it. Clearly, the black market did not have the function of accessing the chat partner's homepage.

He looked away and removed the bracelet.

Actually, there's a lot of information in that statement by the filmmaker.

The 'cultivation' he mentioned most likely refers to the method of cultivating corrupted monsters. The leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang has already reached the limit of C-level strength, while the Shadow Cutter has a further cultivation method.

This means that the Shadow Cutter and his organization, 'Evolutionary Followers,' likely possess the ability to cultivate corrupted monsters beyond the C-rank limit.

In other words, He Ao

The enemy you encounter in one step might be one that exceeds the C-level limit, or even reaches the B-level.

He Ao then opened the black market interface and looked at the information and content that level 3 users could access.

Although there is only one level difference between level 3 and level 2, the tasks they can accept are already vastly different.

In He Ao's level 2 "Night Listener" account, most of the missions he could see were about dealing with a gang leader or a bounty on a wandering superhuman. The overall strength level was no more than E-level, and most of them were F-level.

By level 3, most missions involve D-level strength, and some even involve C-level superhumans.

It seems the black market has a clear hierarchy of strength. Level 0 likely corresponds to a novice, Level 1 to an ordinary person, and perhaps a small number of cases involving supernatural beings. Level 2 corresponds to basic supernatural beings like F to E, while Level 3 corresponds to powerful supernatural beings like D to C.

So, is there an even higher level of this black market?

It seems the black market is even more complex than He Ao had anticipated.

He Ao raised his bracelet and transmitted Eve's remote control terminal to the bracelet of the Poison Scorpion Gang leader.

Then, the command to have Eve collect information was entered.

He certainly couldn't gather enough information in just a few hours, but Eve could.

Furthermore, this bracelet likely contains more than just black market information; since the Scorpion Gang leader has been wearing it all the time, it must contain some other data as well.

Moreover, judging from the final actions of the Poison Scorpion Gang leader, he probably also had the idea of ​​helping He Ao get rid of the Shadow Chaser and dragging the Shadow Chaser down to hell to accompany him.

Therefore, the bracelet he specifically provided should contain some key information.

However, if Heo had to search for it bit by bit, it would take too much time, while Eve did not have this concern.

After doing all that, He Ao glanced back at the broken window, then turned to his granddaughter, "Jiaxi, give the gun to Grandpa."

"it is good."

Jiaxi handed the Gauss gun in her hand to Heo.

He Ao experienced another bout of hypermemory in a short period of time, unleashing power far exceeding his current weakened state. He quickly raised the Gauss gun, aimed it at the window, and then suddenly fired.

boom--

The bullet pierced through the large hole in the floor-to-ceiling window, shattering the drone hovering in the air that was aiming at the spot.

During the battle, He Ao did not notice the drone nearby. This drone seemed to have just arrived and was trying to launch a sneak attack.

This drone probably doesn't belong to the remaining members of the Scorpion Gang. If they wanted to test the waters, they could have easily entered through the front door.

It seems that this is a third party in this battle, the Evolutionary Faction, which is the faction to which the Shadow Cutter belongs.

This organization also seems to really like using these small armed drones.

However, the appearance of this armed drone means something else: the Evolutionary Force probably has no other forces available nearby.

He had just shown obvious weakness in order to attract the power of the Evolutionary Followers who might be lurking nearby. After all, the Shadow Chaser would definitely try to come and watch the battle between the Poison Scorpion Gang leader and He Ao, and maybe even pick up a piece of the action.

But what finally came was...

It's just a drone.

This proves that in a short period of time, only this drone could have arrived here, and it is highly likely that the drone itself was nearby.

Compared to the strength of the Scorpion Gang leader, drones of this level pose virtually no threat.

This drone might have been deliberately left behind by the leader of the Scorpion Gang.

He has likely dealt with or driven away any potential threats in the surrounding area.

After all, this was his core territory, and he could not allow the Shadow Cutter to encroach on his land.

He leaned on his cane, returned the Gauss Gun to his granddaughter, and let the power of hypermemory be gradually drained away.

-

"Sir, should we continue sending tamed monsters over there?"

In the closed, windowless room, a brown-haired man glanced at the screen in front of him that flashed a "[No Signal]" pop-up before going dark, then looked at the tall, upright figure in front of him and asked in a low voice.

"No need,"

The tall, imposing figure stared at the now-off screen. "Have you found out who this old guy is?"

“We have no information about him in our database,”

The brown-haired man responded softly, then hesitated for a moment before pondering, "Sir, this old guy is so strong, could he be related to 'Nighthawk'? Nighthawk never shows his true face, and we don't know what relatives he has. He says he has none, but that might not be true."

The tall figure remained silent, his back still turned to the brown-haired man, his hand supporting his chin, lost in thought.

-

Two hours later, around 5 a.m., He Ao finally regained some mobility.

He stood up, using his crutches for support, and with Jiaxi's help, pulled the crutches out of the ground.

The cane was covered with fine cracks from the intense fighting, but it could still barely support He Ao's body.

"Jacqueline, when you go out later, don't make any defensive or aggressive moves."

As He Ao got up, he leaned on his granddaughter and said softly.

The more natural it is, the more confident and assured it seems.

"Ok!"

Garcia put down the Gauss gun in her hand and nodded gently.

He Ao patted her head, then, leaning on his cane, walked towards the door.

Jiaxi tidied herself up and followed.

As soon as the two stepped outside, they saw gang members holding various weapons standing about ten meters away, cautiously watching He Ao.

He glanced at them calmly, then, leaning on his cane, left the door and walked forward.

Those who saw He Ao approaching quickly retreated, watching him warily.

Shortly after He Ao left, some gang members approached from the other side, glanced at the scene inside, and then screamed in terror, accompanied by nauseous retching, "The boss is dead!!!"

The sharp sound, along with the lights overhead, emanated from the huge atrium, seemingly causing the darkness to tremble.

Hearing the sound, He Ao remained unmoved, slowly supporting himself with his cane as he descended the stairs step by step.

His movements were slow, his face was aged, and his hair was completely white; he looked like an ordinary old man.

The elderly man was struggling to descend the stairs.

But every step he took seemed to be stepping on the heartbeats of those around him.

The gang members surrounded him, but no one dared to come within ten meters of him.

An invisible 'vacuum' distinguishes the elderly from the ruthless gang members.

The top floors were very clean because He Ao didn't encounter any gang members there.

As He Ao descended the steps, more and more blood appeared on the stairs, gradually turning the entire staircase crimson.

The pungent smell of blood, mixed with the restless air of the summer night, brushed against everyone's faces.

He Ao's footsteps trod on the blood-soaked steps, one step after another.

The gang members stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up as He Ao descended the steps, his feet stained with blood, and then retreated step by step in the same direction.

The image reflected in their pupils no longer seemed like an old man with a cane and gray hair, but a well-dressed demon walking on blood and flames.
