Chapter 309 - 306: The Emerald Ring is Acquired

Chapter 309: Chapter 306: The Emerald Ring is Acquired

While Cheng Fang and Cadar fought to the death, Chen Xing snatched the ring.

She could have killed Cheng Fang, but... she didn’t.

By snatching the item and leaving, she ensured the hatred between Cheng Fang and Cadar would deepen.

This feud wasn’t just between Cheng Fang and Cadar; it would also drag in Blake and Yu Laosan, neither of whom would let it rest.

Ever since she arrived, the memory of her own death had felt amplified.

The hatred festered in her heart. It wouldn’t go away until Cheng Fang had a taste of being torn apart by hundreds of zombie bites.

While she was here, she was going to make Cheng Fang suffer just as she had.

Cadar was quick. Chen Xing had just gotten back to the hotel when Cadar arrived with her people.

At the auction house today, the last ones to bid against her for the emerald ring had been Song Yiguo and Chen Xing. They were the prime suspects.

Upon reaching the door, Cadar wordlessly unleashed her superpower at the Superpower Users standing guard.

Song Yiguo’s Superpower Team were all professionally trained.

Hearing someone approach, they had already prepared themselves.

The two sides used their superpowers in the narrow corridor, and soon cracks spiderwebbed across the walls.

Chen Xing opened her door at the perfect moment. "Miss Cadar, you bring your people here and attack without a word. Do you take the Song Family Army for a pushover?"

As she spoke, she flung out an arc of electricity.

Although Cadar’s Superpower Users were no slouches, Chen Xing’s sudden attack caught them off guard, taking down a dozen of them at once.

She held back, not wanting to give Cadar a reason to cause trouble for Song Yiguo.

’They were just electrocuted and couldn’t get up for a moment. As for... whether they’d ever be able to use their superpowers again? That was none of her business. After all, she hadn’t killed them.’

’Cadar had heard Chen Xing had four superpowers. But now? How did she have a Thunder Element one too?’

"You have five superpowers?" Cadar’s jaw dropped.

"Don’t worry about how many superpowers I have. You just need to know that with the few people you brought, you’re no match for the Song Family Army!" Chen Xing deliberately exaggerated the Song Family Army’s strength.

Cadar: "..." ’I’m so furious!’

But she wasn’t wrong.

The people she brought were the elite of the elite, yet they couldn’t even take a single move from Chen Xing.

"My emerald ring was stolen again. Coincidentally, only you and Young Master Song are from the Capital City. If I don’t suspect you, who should I suspect?"

’She had never felt so wronged.’

"I’ve been sleeping in the hotel this whole time. How can you suspect me for that?"

Cadar knew she was being unreasonable.

She also knew that Chen Xing and Song Yiguo probably didn’t know the emerald ring’s secret, otherwise they wouldn’t have let her win it at the auction.

But... she couldn’t help but suspect them.

Besides them, she didn’t know who else to suspect.

"The ring I just bought was suddenly snatched by an Invisible Man, just like what happened in the National Capital Safety Zone. You tell me, if it wasn’t you, who could it be? Name one person, and I’ll stop hounding you!" Cadar was getting desperate.

’She just wanted a target. All she needed was to find the emerald ring or the earring.’

’She was starting to feel a little regretful.’

’If she had known she would lose the earring on this trip, she wouldn’t have been so greedy. She would have been perfectly happy with just the earring.’

"Miss Cadar, now you’re just being unreasonable!" Chen Xing hadn’t said anything, but the returning Song Yiguo wasn’t about to indulge her. "You lose something and blame it on our Song Family? Are you implying the Song Family Army is weak?"

"I’m not!" Cadar was angry, anxious, and at a loss.

"It’s a fact that my men were injured, Miss Cadar. I will be seeking an explanation from Blake about this!"

Cadar looked at her own people lying on the ground, feeling incredibly wronged.

The members of the Song Family Army had been hit and had some visible injuries, but they were all still standing just fine.

In contrast, over a dozen of her people were down, yet they didn’t have a single visible injury.

"You..." Cadar stomped her foot in anger, shot Chen Xing a hateful glare, and left with her people.

She didn’t even bother with the bodyguards still on the floor.

Entering the room, Chen Xing eagerly asked Song Yiguo, "How did it go?"

A charming glint appeared in Song Yiguo’s eyes. "I’ve moved everything out of Green City!" By now, the supplies should be a third of the way there.

’He had Chen Xing to thank for this. If she hadn’t told him about Yu Laosan’s supply depot, he never would have acquired such a huge haul of supplies.’

’He’d been utterly ruthless, not even leaving a single grain of rice behind for Yu Laosan.’

’As for how Chen Xing knew where Yu Laosan kept his supplies, he had no interest in asking.’

After Song Yiguo entered his room and closed the door, Chen Xing eagerly entered the space.

’How pathetic!’

Chen Xing looked at the tiny amount of supplies and felt it was a waste of such a precious space.

In Cheng Fang’s hands, it had clearly been wasted.

The space could obviously be used to grow fruits and vegetables, and even raise livestock and poultry.

But clearly, she was too lazy and hadn’t managed it at all.

But... the spring water was still clear.

Chen Xing gulped down several cups and filled a few bottles for later.

「The next morning, a sudden cold snap arrived, accompanied by a heavy blizzard.」

The teams that had planned to leave were all forced to stay in Green City, including Song Yiguo’s team.

Meanwhile, Yu Laosan, having learned that his supply depot had been emptied, was already flying into a rage in his living room.

He was certain Song Yiguo had done it, because he was the only one who had left the hotel last night.

Yet, he couldn’t go and question him.

If Song Yiguo caught him, his life would be forfeit.

Having lost a huge amount of supplies, he was naturally unwilling to continue providing for the people in the hotel.

Originally, his auction’s provisions were only supposed to last until this morning. The only reason he hadn’t kicked everyone out yet was because of their status.

"We regret to inform everyone that due to the loss of a large quantity of supplies last night... from now on, you will be responsible for your own food and other necessities!" a manager came to announce. "The hotel will not be kicking anyone out. Our valued guests may continue to stay here, but... the power and water supply will also be cut off!"

Without further explanation or giving the guests a chance to object, the manager led all his staff out of the hotel.

Chen Xing moved quickly.

While no one was paying attention, she slipped into a random room and instantly recharged herself.

Immediately after, the power went out.

As for water, she didn’t think it would be a problem.

There were several Water Ability Users among the people Song Yiguo had brought.

"Looks like Yu Laosan is right here in Green City!" Song Yiguo’s narrow eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"Give me some time. I can find him!" Chen Xing had no love for Yu Laosan either.

’He’s too sinister. It would be better if he died sooner rather than later, before he can harm any more good people.’

"You will stay put in the hotel!" Song Yiguo’s tone left no room for argument.

’A lot of people have their eyes on her right now.’

’Most of the teams in the hotel stayed because of her.’

’Her five superpowers were too conspicuous. Who wouldn’t want them?’

’Letting her go out to find Yu Laosan? He’d have to have been kicked in the head by a donkey.’

Before noon, another one of Song Yiguo’s teams, five hundred strong, arrived at the Green City airport, braving the blizzard.
