BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1368 - Titled Hitman!
Chapter 1368: Titled Hitman!
Void City.
All the bigshots of the city had gathered at the City Lord’s manor.
Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and Yu Juan were all standing in front of them.
“Then, you’re saying that this was the truth behind the Plague Apocalypse?” the Hitman Guild master asked.
“That is indeed the truth without a doubt. When the three parallel worlds were destroyed, the plague world, extinct monster world, as well as Saint Spirit world had fused with one another to ultimately form a new world” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“After a short while, that world should complete its evolution, at which point you will see it” Yu Juan added.
The bigshots listened, then turned to Crow.
Crow also spoke with a serious expression: “You sealed off that area before as you were afraid that the Apocalypse would spread, but now that a new world is forming instead of an Apocalypse, there is no longer a need to quarantine it—– actually, you all can personally confirm the truth of this matter, there’s no need to ask us”
The Bounty Hunter Guild master sighed: “We can certainly confirm it for ourselves, but this is such a big matter that we still need to properly question you about it”
“We’ve already explained it five times, so can we leave now? I have a date” Crow couldn’t help but ask.
“I- I also have a concert that I want to attend” Yu Juan also said.
The bigshots exchanged glances.
A voice resounded from the depths of the City Lord’s manor:
“One last question, were the wraiths truly trying to take over the bodies of the Saint Spirit world’s living beings in that parallel world?”
“Indeed, that was certainly what happened in that parallel world” Gu Qing Shan confirmed.
The other two also nodded.
The bigshots immediately got busy discussing it among themselves.
——-if this was the truth, then this ability of the wraiths would cause massive unease.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
The indigo pattern on his wrist had now turned into a chaotic mess, regardless of how he tried, he still couldn’t get a response from it.
The newly-rejuvenated world had sealed itself off.
Most likely, I’ll have to wait until the world’s evolution is complete before I can contact it again.
There are still plenty of things that I haven’t done in that world.
The Saint Spirit world and the Deities of the Inner Plane are surely related somehow, so I need to confirm it properly.
Furthermore, the thing that my mother and father left me still remains in the Saint Spirit world, waiting for me to retrieve.
Just as he was pondering, the door was opened and a group of strong Combatants wearing different uniforms entered.
“Reporting sirs, we have examined the location, there was indeed only a single world in a sealed state, no Apocalypse to be found”
The bigshots all turned their gazes towards Gu Qing Shan.
——-this Hitman managed to discover the wraith’s plan in a parallel world, then borrow the power of the wraiths to seal a legendary monster.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King, Ouroboros.
「 Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, can you explain in detail how you were about to achieve everything you did? 」asked a bigshot with a hidden face.
Gu Qing Shan bowed, then asked: “Could you still be doubting the truth of these matters?”
「 No, I have conducted several investigations, so I do not doubt them, I’m simply curious about how you were about to complete this great feat 」the bigshot replied.
“My apologies, as this is related to my personal abilities, I cannot expose them” Gu Qing Shan answered.
He took a step back, his figure became obscured by white fog, then gradually disappeared altogether.
——-he left.
「 Hmph, what a rude child 」the hidden bigshot scoffed.
The Hitman Guild master praised him: “He’s very capable and very smart, but more than anything else, he’s cautious. He was afraid that others would find out his measures and depths”
『 I’m curious how those wraiths in our reality would react after they find out about this 』another bigshot commented.
Everyone fell silent.
The wraith’s plan, the strength of the Saint Spirit world, or the [Chaos] Serpentes King’s existence were all shocking matters that couldn’t be hidden.
Crow suddenly said: “Wait, so we were already allowed to leave?”
His figure flashed and disappeared from the bigshots’ gaze.
Seeing that, Yu Juan also wanted to flee but stopped after being glared at by the head librarian of the Void Library.
The Ominous Demon Tower’s master suddenly said: 「 How long has it been since we last saw such a brilliant young one? 」
“What are you planning?” the Hitman Guild master appeared cautious.
The Ominous Demon tower’s master replied: 「 The wraiths’ forces are considerable. Your little Hitman Guild won’t be able to protect him, so give him to our Ominous Demon Tower 」
“Bullshit, just his contribution in resolving the Plague Apocalypse is more than enough for him to be promoted to Titled Hitman, I’m going to deal with that matter immediately after I return” the Hitman Guild master said.
“Wasn’t that fiend an Unsolvable Hitman? Wouldn’t it be too fast for him to be promoted straight to Titled rank?” another bigshot asked in surprise.
The Hitman Guild master coldly replied: “After today, do you think anyone would still not know of the name ‘Dragon King of Atrocity Jail’?”
That bigshot shook his head: “He’s still too weak, despite his achievements, a lot of it could be considered coincidental or fortunate”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“No, he wasn’t simply fortunate”
From deep inside the City Lord’s manor, a female voice resounded.
The bigshots all appeared shocked.
Someone tried asking: “Do you mean——-”
“This Fear Fiend underwent the examination when he first entered Void City, our equipment extracted a certain Title from him...”
“This Dragon King of Atrocity Jail was the Heir of the Thousand Dragons Ancestor” the female voice explained.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
“So he was the heir of the dragon race, furthermore, one chosen by the Dragon Ancestor himself, then there is nothing to talk about”
「 Indeed, I had thought that the Wraith realm would definitely not let him go; but now, if the wraiths want to touch him, they will probably reconsider 」
“Right, those ones from the dragon race might be in slumber most of the time, but if someone dared to touch the heir chosen by their ancestor, they might all show up at once. Even if only for their reputation, they would still choose to act”
Everyone fell into thought.
...
In a small brick house.
Gu Qing Shan appeared from inside a cloud of white fog.
Xiao Die was currently cooking, so she just told him without turning around: “Come and sit down, the food will be ready soon”
“Let me cook today”
Saying that, Gu Qing Shan found an apron and put it on, then took the pan from Xiao Die.
Xiao Die decided to let him cook.
She stood to one side and said:
“I didn’t think you’d tell the entire truth”
“There’s a very simple truth to this—— the ones who committed the wrongdoing were the wraiths, I merely dealt with the Plague Apocalypse, so what do I have to be afraid of?” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“The wraiths will definitely think of a way to save their reputation. After all, while those events did happen in the parallel world, it’s still only a possibility to our reality” Xiao Die said.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I understand, but once the seeds of doubt have been sown, the wraiths would definitely have to lay low for a bit, because there would be numerous Combatants who would keep their eyes on them, either purposely or coincidentally”
“Because of that, they wouldn’t have the courage to try and do anything to you at this point, because once something does happen, it would only prove that they truly harbor such thoughts” Xiao Die concluded.
“Yup, that’s exactly it” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xiao Die sighed and said: “You’re much too sly”
Gu Qing Shan smiled, then served the completed dishes onto the table before telling her: “I didn’t have a choice before this, because of how weak I am, there are a lot of things that I could only keep hidden”
Xiao Die evaluated him, then pondered: “Your growth was certainly rapid... wait, the City Lord’s manor just announced your identity as a dragon, this way, the wraiths truly have to make a lot of considerations before they act against you”
“Then the City Lord’s manor is helping me, but for what reason?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
Xiao Die displayed an indiscernible expression, then muttered: “I think you’ll find out soon enough”
Just as Gu Qing Shan was about to ask about it, he sensed something.
