Chapter 359: Severed Fingers Gang

A group of people in black clothes and clown masks rushed in from behind Mike. There were more than a hundred of them. Two leaders in clown masks were carrying two Ptolemy family guards who had been guarding the door.
The two gold-tier guards’ faces were covered in blood. They were on the verge of death. They were spitting out a few words toward Mike with incredible difficulty.
“Young Master Mike, quick, run!”
“Pfft!”
The clown-masked man pierced those two guards’ chests with his bare hands before the guards could finish speaking. Their bodies fell onto the ground with unwilling expressions immortalized on their faces.
“Who are you? What are you doing? That is the Ptolemy family’s secret chamber. You could not have entered it without the password. Did my foolish brother leak the password to you? Did he send you here to harm me deliberately?”
Mike protected the Sea God’s Trident with one hand behind his back as he pointed at the people in front of him with the other hand.
No one responded to his question. The clown-masked leader stepped forward and extended his white-gloved right hand toward Mike. “Give us the Sea God’s Trident.”
“So you’re here for the Sea God’s Trident. It’s my family’s treasure. No matter who takes it, you won’t be able to leave that city! If you know what’s good for you, I’d advise you to leave that place now. I can pretend that that did not happen—Argh!”
Before Mike could finish his words, the clown-masked man in the lead took a step forward and teleported in front of him. His right hand grabbed Mike’s neck, causing him to rise into the air from where he was standing. His face and ears were red.
While the clown man was doing that, two of his masked companions came up from behind Mike. They pulled the Sea God’s Trident and put it into a black box that they had prepared. Then, they quickly left the secret chamber. The other clown-masked men stayed behind.
“We have the item. The next thing to do is to kill those two people.”
The clown-masked man in the lead exerted even more strength in his palm as if he wanted to break Mike’s neck. One hundred people went toward Watson, and all of them emitted gold-tier auras. One by one, they took off their white gloves, and a strong combat aura appeared in their palms. They gathered together and turned into an even larger guillotine that was more than a hundred meters long, slashing down at Watson’s head.
“Platinum-tier combined fighting technique, Sacred Dragon Guillotine!”
There was a huge golden dragon head on each side of the guillotine. The two dragon heads held the guillotine as if they wanted to break the blade into two pieces. However, the blade was still as tough as before.., when the guillotine fell, the water column that overflowed around Watson was cut into halves, and many of the caves on the surrounding walls were also cut into two.
The giant guillotine came down, stuck Watson’s neck, and his head fell to the ground. At that moment, a light flashed on Watson’s body, and six pure white wings spread from his back. A halo-like domain appeared above his head, turning into an illusory light barrier.
The guillotine landed on the halo above his head, but it immediately returned to the direction of the hundreds of clown men who were attacking him at an even faster speed.
“Angels?”
A wave of puzzled voices erupted from the group of clowns. Soon, they released their combat aura in a fluster, forcefully blocking the platinum-tier attacks. A few of the clown men were cut in half because their reactions were slow. More than half of them retreated after falling into the bottomless abyss due to the fierce platinum-tier combat techniques. It caused the formation to become scattered.
“Diamond-tier spell, Absolute Gravity.”
Suddenly, a tender voice sounded from behind everyone. A terrifying gravity instantly hit everyone, causing them to kneel on the ground with difficulty. The masks on their faces shattered due to the pressure, revealing many unfamiliar faces.
However, there was one that Watson was familiar with, and that clown was grabbing Mike’s neck. Initially, the clown had wanted to strangle Mike to death. However, he was kneeling on the ground with Mike at that moment due to the increased gravity. He had to endure terrifying pressure.
The clown man was a quiet-looking middle-aged man. His hair was light gray, while his hair was azure blue. He was staring at Watson with a strange gaze.
“Mr. K?” Watson spat out his name.
“Young Master Watson, I did not expect to see you again so soon! ”
“The last time we met, you were using Young Master Casey’s skin. That auction really opened my eyes. I’ve never seen a person who could bid for all the items in the auction.”
“It really is you.”
Watson only deduced that the person in front of him was the auctioneer called Mr. K; he knew the man’s hair color and sense of familiarity. He knew why those people were there when he recalled Elven and Blake’s conversation.
“Mr. K, if I’m not wrong, your superior only asked you to teach me a lesson and did not give the order to kill me, right?”
“Young Master Watson, you’re wrong. The order was for me to kill you! If we can’t kill you, then we won’t be able to live either. However, is it really alright for you to stand here and chat with us? Right now, you’re replacing the Sea God’s Trident to supply the entire city with energy. While you’re chatting with us, there’s a high possibility that there will be huge chaos in the city.”
“It doesn’t matter because the person standing here and talking to you is not my true body.”
Watson smiled; it caused wrinkles on his face. Then, his body shattered with a loud sound and turned into scattered water droplets, which then fell to the ground. Each of them turned into Watson. In an instant, there were about 100 of Watson’s clones.
The man stiffened when he saw that. He muttered to himself, “As expected of someone who can create platinum-tier items. What a monster!”
“Watson, that’s great. It’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would have died just now! Those people actually dared to kill people here. They even dared to snatch the Sea God’s Trident. I’ll definitely report this to my father and have him punish those people severely. Watson, you should keep an eye on these people first. I’ll go get help.”
Mike glared at Mr. K and the others as he rubbed his sore neck. He did not remain there. Instead, he ran outside quickly.
Watson did not stop Mike. The clowns would not be able to move as the Absolute Gravity spell had suppressed them.
“Do you have any last words?”
“Yes.” Mr. K laughed. He pulled his long robe and revealed bottles of medicines, which must have contained poison. “Perhaps it’s worth it to die with Master’s Antonio’s disciple, the talented Young Master Watson.”
The other clowns laughed. They showed a determined expression as their bodies began to expand rapidly, and they were stained with a layer of black.
Then, they heard Watson’s tender voice. “Mr. K, since you know that I can create platinum-tier items, then do you know that I can also create people?”
“What did you say?”
“System fusion, activate.”
Mr. K seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed. However, without giving him a chance to react, Watson, still in the endless abyss, chanted a few words. Then, an invisible wave spread from the bottom of the abyss. The clowns, whose bodies were expanding, turned into rays of light. Then, those rays of light formed in the air and turned into a person.
It was a man. He was about 90 percent similar to Mr. K. However, he looked calm with his gray hair and quiet appearance.
[Congratulations, Master, on a successful fusion.]
[You have obtained a peak platinum-tier attendant.]
[Peak platinum-tier attendant: K]
[Mastery of water-elemental platinum-tier combat aura, as well as various platinum and gold-tier combat techniques]
[Additional ability: Great Talent (adept at strategy and management).]
Watson used his water-elemental clone to see the information in the newly merged Mr. K. Immediately after that, Mr. K knelt on one knee and bowed to the abyss where Watson was located.
“Respected Master, please forgive me for being disrespectful to you just now.”
“No worries.”
Since his main body was still in the abyss to provide energy to the city, Watson could only speak to Mr. K through his clone. “Tell me where you plan to transport the Sea God’s Trident and what you will do next.”
“We will transport the Sea God’s Trident to a secret stronghold belonging to the Severed Fingers Gang. If we don’t die after trying to kill you, then our mission is to spread the news of Mike’s death and announce that the sea folks had killed him. By then, we would have been able to provoke the Ptolemy family to fight against the sea folks, allowing the Severed Fingers Gang to reap the benefits.”
“How many people are there in the upper levels of the Severed Fingers Gang? Who are they?”
“There are ten supreme commanders in the Severed Fingers Gang’s upper levels, corresponding to a person’s ten fingers. They are located in different regions of the kingdom. The person in the floating city is the left pink—Elven! Unlike other Severed Fingers Gang members, the ten supreme commanders have all their fingers intact. However, no one knows what they look like, except for their trusted aides.”
Watson stroked his chin when he heard that. The Severed Fingers Gang and the Ptolemy family did underground businesses. Unlike the Ptolemy family, the Severed Fingers Gang was more wicked, almost focusing on all their effort on underground businesses. They managed the slave trade, and they were also involved in the black market. The most important thing to note was that the Severed Fingers Gang had connections with the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s king.
Initially, Watson did not want to get involved in the Severed Fingers Gang, but he was connected to the king, and his life was in danger. He had no choice but to act.
