Universe Infinite Canteen

The Hunting Group hadn't even left the city to fight those wild beasts when their own members started fighting amongst themselves.

He Yueji was almost furious. Ma Lu's kick hadn't injured her, but it did cause her great loss of face. There was now a shoe print on her Hunting Clothes, located right on her right breast, and it was in 3D.

Even after hearing Qin Zhao's warning, she showed no intention of stopping. In the end, it was the other Hunters from the Cyren Hunting Group who forcefully stopped her, thus preserving her Hunter status.

Looking at the disheveled and infuriated He Yueji, with veins popping on her forehead, Ma Lu could feel her rage from several steps away.

And indeed, she had every reason to be furious; the strength of the Diamond Hunting Group certainly wasn't just this.

But the incident was sudden and it was a brawl—there was no deadly feud between the two sides. No one used weapons or released their Psychic Powers at the start.

As a result, with the current four-dimensional Attributes enhancement of 170% from the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, whoever came was just giving it away for free.

Seta easily defeated four single-handedly, Boggy, without taking it too seriously, brought down three men, and even Ma Lu, who usually remained inconspicuous, took advantage of He Yueji sitting on the table and unable to get up in time, and successfully ambushed her, kicking her to the ground.

And to others, it looked like a Silver Hunting Group successfully beating up a Diamond Hunting Group, rendering them utterly incapable of fighting back.

It wouldn't be surprising if He Yueji wasn't furious. Although she was stopped by others, she still stretched out her hand and cursed at Ma Lu, "You motherfucking bastard, dare you have a fair fight with me? If I don't beat you to death, I'll take your surname!"

Qin Zhao's face darkened as he heard her cursing.

It wasn't until he looked at the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, who were standing still, not fighting back or retorting, that his brow slightly relaxed.

He didn't ask why the two sides were fighting, only saying.

"We are about to leave the city and everyone is counting on you to resolve this crisis. I just want to ask one question, do you really want to put your personal grudges above the safety of the tens of thousands of people under the Giant Curtain?"

"Of course not," Boggy stated first.

After cursing a few more times and seeing everyone looking at her, even her own Hunting Group's Hunters held back their words, He Yueji finally spat out hatefully, "Damn it, I'll remember this. We'll settle this score later."

Wei Cha brought up the past at this point, "Since Twin Sunflower Hunting Group is no longer suitable to team up with Cyren Hunting Group, why don't you join us instead?"

"Also…" Qin Zhao was about to express his agreement, but then he heard Ma Lu firmly say, "I don't believe that Vice Leader He and Cyren Hunting Group would be so petty. The previous incident was just a small misunderstanding and will not affect the upcoming actions."

This statement not only surprised Wei Cha and Qin Zhao, but even He Yueji was stupefied, and after a moment, a cold smile appeared on her face.

"Bold! I admit that I underestimated you before. Since you insist on following me, then I will take good care of you too."

Perhaps realizing that there would be plenty of opportunities to turn the tables later, He Yueji was not as angry as before. However, she refused the handkerchief passed to her by a staff member on the side, thus leaving that footprint on her chest. Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

Those who truly understood He Yueji knew that she was genuinely enraged this time, but in addition to the boundless anger in her eyes when she looked at Ma Lu, there was a trace of admiration that crept in unconsciously.

Wei Cha was right; the woman was an absolute strength supremacist.

In her eyes, showing weakness and forbearance only invites more contempt and humiliation from her, whereas those who genuinely stand their ground against her might actually earn her respect—as long as you're not afraid of her rage consuming you.

Because of this disruption, the visiting council members did not give long speeches, but simply made a few perfunctory remarks before hastily departing.

Afterward, Qin Zhao offered a few more instructions, and Wei Cha led people to Gate 1, while He Yueji and her group arrived at Gate 2.

In recent times, with numerous Hunting Groups departing daily to clear out wild beasts, the area around the Giant Curtain has seen a significant decrease in wildlife, not as densely populated as before.

However, the decrease in common wild beasts has been matched by an increase in perilous beasts, making the dangers outside the city worse rather than better.

Ma Lu had thought that He Yueji would have them take the lead, but when He Yueji arranged the personnel, she placed them in the safest position, in the very middle of the team.

With He Yueji's pettiness, it certainly wasn't out of genuine concern for the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group.

Ma Lu figured she was just putting on a show before leaving the city,

to demonstrate to the people inside that she held no grudges for personal reasons.

As soon as they'd be farther away, she would surely become impatient.

Moreover, the pressure was actually smaller just after leaving the city, and it would become increasingly dangerous the farther they went.

Especially when facing the Six-armed Ancient Ape, if it were "their turn" to take the lead, the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group would at least have no grounds to complain on the surface.

Actually, Ma Lu did not want to offend He Yueji and the Cyren Hunting Group, but he had compelling reasons to be part of her team.

His gaze fell on a figure at the front of the team.

Almost at the same time, Mai Mai nudged Ma Lu's back with her shoulder, whispering, "Hey, have you thought about when to make your move?"

"Hmm, no rush," Ma Lu responded casually, then he realized what she meant, "Make what move?"

"Hehe, you've given yourself away, but never mind the rest, I'm your little assistant, how could you possibly keep any secrets from me when you're up to no good."

Mai Mai said with hands on her hips and a smug expression, "You're putting up with He Yueji just to deal with Sanrew from the same team, aren't you?"

Ma Lu glanced at Boggy not far away and said somewhat helplessly, "Don't tell the others, especially the captain... otherwise she's probably going to agonize over it again."

"Hmm, that kid indeed has an upright nature, and like her father, always prioritizes the bigger picture. But can you deal with Sanrew by yourself?"

"I couldn't have before, but this time it shouldn't be a big problem."

Ma Lu had two objectives for this trip, one was to find an ingredient that could entice the Werewolf, and the other was to eliminate the threat of Sanrew.

Strictly speaking, killing Sanrew wasn't hard; after all, with enough blessings piled up, even a god could be dispatched by Ma Lu. So, the difficulty lies in how to kill Sanrew without raising suspicion.

Especially after the incidents with the Hunting Group members and Jinjian, Sanrew had become incredibly cautious, almost never acting alone, and always surrounded by a crowd no matter where he went.

Killing him secretly had become nearly impossible, and to take action under everyone's gaze would violate the laws of the Giant Curtain; moreover, openly attacking a fellow Hunter on the same team at such a time would have a terrible impact.

Until Ma Lu obtained the [Puppet Master].

The emergence of this Purple Blessing made the plan to kill Sanrew in plain sight feasible.
