Chapter 20: Mobilization From All Sides
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Gentlemen, let’s discuss the ownership of this Blood Wolf corpse material first. As for joining a faction, I don’t have any plans on that yet,” Zhou Hao said slowly.
Once Zhou Hao joined a faction, his identity would definitely be leaked.
By then, the spies from the foreign races will also learn of his identity.
This had happened too many times in the past hundred years on Planet Earth.
Therefore, Zhou Hao was very cautious.
Hearing Zhou Hao say this, He Biao and Battalion Commander Chu couldn’t help but reveal disappointed expressions. However, they didn’t insist. After all, Zhou Hao was a grandmaster, and many experts on Planet Earth were unwilling to be restricted and preferred to be alone after becoming grandmasters.
In the end, the Blue Horn Blood Wolf was still bought by He Biao for 7 million.
In fact, Zhou Hao knew that President He was doing him a favor. The most valuable thing about the Blue-Horned Blood Wolf was its blue horn. If he cut it off and only sold other materials in the Merchant Alliance, he would at most get around 4 million.
Taking out his crystal card, he bumped it with He Biao’s crystal card and received the 7 million.
While Zhou Hao was feeling excited, he looked at He Biao and returned the saber to him as he said, “Thank you, President He!”
He Biao smiled. “You’re welcome. Come to my Martial Artist Union Building when you have the time and give me a chance to be a good host.”
“Definitely.” Zhou Hao was in a good mood as he replied. Then, he asked, “President He, Battalion Commander Chu, I want to find the Scarlet Blood Vine and the Rhino Horn. Do you know which area has them?”
Battalion Commander Chu hurriedly said, “Area 178. This is the active location of the Single-Horned Rhino. As for the Scarlet Blood Vine, it’s a little troublesome. You’ll have to go to Area 192. It grows in a red swamp and you will have to search carefully to find it.”
Zhou Hao immediately opened the screen located on the arm of the standard armor.
He keyed in Area 178 and Area 192.
Swoosh.
The radar screen immediately displayed the route of these two regions.
Zhou Hao took a look and saw that it was not too far away.
“Thank you, Battalion Commander Chu. The mission is also over, so I’ll be leaving first since I still have something to do. Presiden He, I’ll visit you in the Martial Artist Union Building when I have the time.” With that, Zhou Hao placed the shrunken blue horn into the portable backpack of his standard armor. Then, he took a step and his figure suddenly disappeared.
The reason why he had accepted the guarding mission this time was primarily to familiarize himself with the wilderness area and secondly, to figure out his strength.
Now that he knew that his combat strength had reached the level of a grandmaster, there was no point in continuing the mission. Therefore, Zhou Hao left decisively.
“This grandmaster is really swift and decisive!” Battalion Commander Chu sighed. Then, he looked at the tall burly man and the other master artists and students and asked curiously, “Did you all see this grandmaster kill the Blue Horn Blood Wolf with your own eyes?”
The tall burly man and the others nodded.
Xu Ling said in admiration, “That’s right. I saw it with my own eyes. A grandmaster is really too powerful. He killed a high-level demon general with a single punch!”
Battalion Commander Chu smiled and said, “A grandmaster is naturally powerful… Wait, what did you say just now?”
President He was also stunned for a moment as he stared intently at Xu Ling.
“A single punch???”
Suddenly, Xu Ling was being stared at by a grandmaster and a master.
This made her extremely nervous.
However, she still gritted her teeth and said, “That grandmaster-level expert really only used one punch.”
Battalion Commander Chu and President He widened their eyes before asking the burly man and the others.
After confirming that Zhou Hao had only used a single punch…
“A high-level grandmaster, he’s definitely a high-level grandmaster!!” President He took a deep breath and looked extremely regretful. “If I had known, I would have tried harder to recruit him just now!”
Battalion Commander Chu no longer hesitated and directly sent a message to Commander Zhao.
An expert of such a level was worth roping in at all costs.
At the same time, the students and bodyguards also secretly sent messages to their families.
A high-level grandmaster. This was an existence comparable to Commander Zhao, who was in charge of a large city!
In just a few minutes…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Energy waves surged as sonic booms echoed.
The public and secret grandmasters in the Huadong City were all gathered together.
Just the aura they emitted was incomparably powerful.
All the mutated beasts, demon beasts, insects, and other foreign races within a radius of 10,000 meters were so frightened by their collective aura that they did not dare to move.
Fortunately, Xu Ling and the other students were already escorted away by the bodyguards. The tall burly man and the others also did not dare to stay any longer.
Otherwise, even breathing would be difficult if they stayed here.
Boom.
An explosion sounded.
A two-meter-tall middle-aged man in black armor landed from the sky.
“Commander Zhao!”
“Old Zhao, even you’re here?”
“I knew you couldn’t sit still either.”
The grandmasters greeted each other.
Commander Zhao was a high-level grandmaster and a war-prodigy who ruled over Huadong City.
“It seems everyone is here!” Commander Zhao, who had a calm aura and sharp eyes, swept a glance and smiled. “Then I suppose we’ll all have to rely on our capabilities now.”
With that said, he looked at Battalion Commander Chu. “Little Chu, where’s that person?”
Facing so many masters, even the usually carefree Battalion Commander Chu was as cautious as a child at this moment. He stammered, “Commander, that grandmaster has left!”
“What? He left?”
“Where did he go? Why didn’t he stay?”
“Are you sure he was a grandmaster?”
Before Commander Zhao could speak, the other grandmasters had already interrupted impatiently.
