Section 385, Chapter 384: Honest Crove

"The City of Sin does not use the currencies of any country, but this is the currency that is popular there."

The old man took a bag out of his pocket, and when he opened it, the little girl found that it was full of black powder.

"What is this?"

"It's something that makes people happy."

The plump old man smiled and casually tossed the bag to the side of the road.

"It is the spiritual sustenance of the vast majority of people in the city of sin, but people within the organization generally do not use it."

"The addiction is too strong, it's not good."

"What happened to the 'rules' you mentioned earlier?"

The little girl asked with great interest, "What are the rules here?"

"Rules... ha, they're nothing more than the law of the jungle."

The old man laughed and said, "The weak depend on the strong and exploit the weaker."

"The law of the jungle exists everywhere, but it is more evident in the city of sin."

This clone of Crove keeps talking about the City of Sin, and it's clear he's willing to do anything to survive.

"So, 'freedom' is just a lie, and the city of sin is nothing but a huge deception?"

"Well, you can't say that."

The old man mumbled, "For those who glorify violence and enjoy thrills, the City of Sin is indeed a place of freedom."

"This freedom is not quite what I expected. I am very disappointed."

The little girl suddenly lost interest in the city. She hadn't noticed it before, but now the stench that permeated the entire city was becoming increasingly pungent.

"What is that smell? It's absolutely awful."

The little girl waved her hand in front of her nose: "It's amazing you've been able to stay here all this time."

"smell?"

The old man sniffed hard, looking quite puzzled.

"It doesn't taste like anything!"

"..."

Seeing that the little girl didn't speak, the old man cautiously asked, "Commander-in-Chief, you must keep your word. Can I leave now?"

"Don't rush, I haven't given you the gift yet."

"Well, letting me go back would be the best gift," the old man said with a silly grin.

"If I say I'll give it to you, then I will."

The little girl stretched out her hand, and the Yin and Yang energies surged wildly into her palm.

An indescribable sense of oppression spread from the little girl; it was the smell of death.

"Ok?"

Just then, a bizarre scene unfolded!

The little girl's shadow suddenly stood up, walked up to her, and gestured as if to express something.

"You are……"

The little girl lowered her hand and stared at the shadow girl, looking thoughtful.

After a while, the little girl's brows relaxed: "I remember now, you are my shadow, and I keep lots and lots of little animals in my shadow!"

The shadow girl nodded vigorously, revealing a frightening set of white teeth.

"You just said you really like this decadent city?"

The little girl looked disgusted: "What's so good about it?"

The shadow girl immediately became anxious. She clasped her hands together and bowed her head to the little girl.

"Well, fine, if you want it so badly, then take it."

The little girl shook her head and then instructed, "Don't get an upset stomach. If it tastes bad, just spit it out."

Seeing that the little girl agreed, the Shadow Girl seemed very happy.

It stretched its hands to its chest and began tearing at itself from side to side.

The shadow girl's body was split in two, revealing a black door hidden between them.

In an instant, shadow elements so dense they were visible to the naked eye burst forth!

The darkness of the sky formed over the city, and it quickly covered the entire city.

As the sky fell, it writhed and devoured like a living thing...

With the little girl abandoning her restraints, the shadow space finally revealed its true nature.

This scene truly lives up to its name—it's swallowing up the city!

When the Shadow Girl turned back into a shadow once again, everything had changed drastically.

Garbage, a pungent stench, filthy streets, unfriendly pedestrians...

The entire city of sin has vanished from the world!

"How about it?"

"..."

The old man stared blankly at the little girl, looking as if he had lost his soul.

"Snap out of it!"

The little girl patted the old man's leg, and he immediately went limp and collapsed to the ground.

The old man's performance was actually quite good; several of the sergeant's cadres, including the traitor, were even scared out of their wits on the spot.

But the little girl was not satisfied with the old man's behavior, and she asked again, "The gift, what do you think of this gift?"

To be honest, the old man's mind went completely blank at that moment, and he couldn't understand what the little girl was saying at all.

but……

It's okay if you don't understand, just smile.

A smile gradually appeared on the old man's face, a smile that was both silly and innocent.

"If you like it, that's good. Now, you've gone from being the 'most useless Croft' to the 'one-of-a-kind Croft'!"

'The one and only Krov, I am the one and only Krov!'

As his mind gradually cleared, the old man, regaining his senses, suddenly knelt down in front of the little girl.

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, you are my second parents!"

"This gift is absolutely wonderful!"

"Dead, hahaha, all dead, all dead, from now on—"

"I am Krov!"

Old man, oh no, I should say Crove.

At this moment, Krov's face turned red, and a terrifying light shone in his eyes.

"Commander-in-Chief, you have given me such a great gift. I could never repay you even if I were to be shattered to pieces!"

"Not bad, not bad, at least you know how to be grateful."

The little girl waved her hand and said, "But I don't need any reward, so you don't have to be smashed to pieces."

"Uh, my lord, what I mean is... I, Krov, also have a gift to present to the Commander-in-Chief!"

Oh, you have a gift?

The little girl became interested: "I like the gift, what kind of gift is it?"

"It's the dark organization—Libra!"

Krov took a deep breath, his head banging against the ground repeatedly, completely ignoring the blood seeping from his forehead.

"Dark Lord, I wish to join your ranks. Libra is my gift to you."

"Well, even though you're one of a kind, can you really give me Libra?"

"can!"

Crove confidently declared, "Those who knew the truth are all gone. I am now the head of Libra!"

"Having been that guy's double for so many years, I know all his secrets, and no one can spot the flaws."

"Commander-in-Chief, besides the City of Sin, Libra has quite a lot more to offer!"

"Once Libra merges with Viper, Viper will have the ability to challenge for the position of overlord of the underworld!"

Croft took a breath and said in an unusually excited voice, "Dark Master, only a peerless powerhouse like you can become the true 'Dark Master'!"

"Yes, you're right."

The little girl patted Crove's head with satisfaction: "'One and only Crove,' go for it. Tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll help you take care of them."

"Commander-in-Chief, I have a small suggestion."

"Oh, go ahead."

"Under the guidance of Your Excellency, I have decided to turn over a new leaf."

"From now on, I will correct my habit of lying and be an honest and good child."

The old man said shamelessly, "So, from now on, Crove is 'Honest Crove'."

The little girl seemed surprised by Krov's words. She was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
