Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 601: Chapter 536: Courting Chapter 601: Chapter 536: Courting White Star City’s night was still brilliant with lights, far surpassing the prosperity of Starshine City’s Inner City.

Despite this splendor, White Star City was home to numerous internal forces, and conflicts erupted from time to time.

Yet, due to the density of the Inspectors in White Star City and the tacit understanding among the major powers, such conflicts generally remained at a level where they fought but stopped short of breaking entirely.

Normally, the death of someone of the World Breaker’s rank was quite rare.

Every World Breaker was a force to be reckoned with, and no family could easily afford to lose one.

Moving against a World Breaker could easily prompt a series of retaliatory chains, spiraling the conflict out of control.

Therefore, unless one was absolutely certain, making such a move was unusual.

After all, the distribution of power in White Star City was overly complex; a deadlock could easily give other parties an opportunity to take advantage.

The death of Feng Te from the Decaron family was precisely this kind of situation.

At that time, the deed had been executed cleanly; there were multiple suspects, and the Decaron family, aside from continuing their secret investigations, dared not openly declare war.

The original instigators wanted to provoke discord between the Suns, the Outsiders, and their relationships.

If the Decarons were to show malice towards all suspects, the true perpetrators would be laughing in their dreams.

However, due to an unexpected incident involving the Yue Family, the future seed of Catastrophe Level potential met an abrupt end, and it inadvertently exposed prior issues concerning the Yue Family.

In truth, the Decaron family initially had only suspicions and a target to lock onto, and the possibility involving the other two families wasn’t small either.

But now, with a death in the Yue Family, suspicions first turned towards the Decarons, almost confirming their actions from before.

Essentially, it was…

“We only killed an ordinary World Breaker of yours, and now you respond with such ruthlessness?”

This situation naturally made the Decaron family stamp their feet in anger.

The victim was not killed by us!

We even had one of ours killed by you, and now you’re blaming us in return?

Being already infuriated, even if they knew that there might be instigation and problems involved, they had no choice but to make their stance clear.

Otherwise, it would impact their family’s cohesion!

In turn, they also involved the Gu Family, hinting at the possibility of their suspicion.

Meanwhile…

…

“Mr.

Otte’s meaning is that the Yue Family killed Mr.

Feng Te last time, and they pinned the blame on me, this…” Tao Yu looked at the representative from the Decaron family who had come to seek an audience, his face showing a bit of difficulty as if he found the situation tricky.

“You should also understand the situation with our Starshine Company,” said Tao Yu.

“Our Suns family is currently fully focused on the development of the New Development Zone, so we have no intention of getting involved in the disputes at the State Capital.

I’m just back here to rest for a while, and once the time comes, I will return…”

Tao Yu sighed and began to explain.

In fact, based on Tao Yu’s performance since coming to the State Capital, the tags of ‘strong’ and ‘hawkish’ had been attached to him.

Whether it was dealing with Feng Te or Shi Di, his approach had been to strike first and question later.

Combining the messages about Tao Yu coming from Starshine City with their own observations, each party had drawn up their own profile of his personality.

A World Breaker of no small strength, perhaps due to his humble beginnings, had a rather unyielding character.

But his abilities granted him that privilege.

“Mr.

Tao’s meaning, I do understand, but whether the infuriated Yue Family will understand it now, that’s hard to say.”

Otte Decaron wasn’t surprised by Tao Yu’s attitude.

Even someone as assertive as him knew the limits; having survived and grown to this point, he wasn’t a fool despite his recklessness.

In the previous encounters with Feng Te and Shi Di, Tao Yu had the upper hand and the backing of the Suns family, naturally fearless.

But if he were to become entangled in conflicts of this level, even a single World Breaker wouldn’t be sufficient.

Yue Yun is dead!

That set the benchmark for this conflict’s severity.@@novelbin@@

“What, the Yue Family blamed me last time and I didn’t pursue it, do they intend to target me now?!”

Tao Yu showed an expression of shocked anger, seeming to be indignant, as if he still held grudges about past events.

Only the lack of strength had made him suppress it.

Treya, who had been quietly listening by, now spoke up with a frown,

“Although we don’t seek trouble in the State Capital, we’re certainly not afraid of it.”

In terms of strength, the Suns family completely surpassed the ones involved in the conflict; it’s just that their focus was all on Starshine, and they had no strong foundation in the State Capital.

This was their confidence and also the reason the Yue Family casually smeared them in the past.

One has to be of value to be exploited!

“Of course, not to mention Starshine Company, even the strength of the Suns alone surpasses all of us.

Even Miss Treya’s grandmother has had dealings with our Clan Leader.”

Atreus would come over, and naturally, had done his homework.

The Treya family was a vassal of the Suns, weaker by several clans, but they also had a strong person who barely reached the Catastrophe Level.

Taken alone, they weren’t weak at all, let alone with the backing of the alliance with the Suns.

“But the more so, the Yue Family would be more guarded, after all, Mr.

Tao has ‘Duel’-type space ability, which plays an extremely important role in local conflicts where control over the scale of conflict is needed.”

“Hmph, weren’t things fine as they were, but now there’s trouble after you brazenly came to the doorstep?

What, not afraid I’ll blast you out?”

Tao Yu wore an unhappy expression.

“I’m certainly no match for you, sir.

If you want to blast me away, then I have nothing to say, but I can’t gamble on being treated as a scapegoat.

Or does sir plan to proactively go to the Yue Family to explain and beg for mercy?”

Atreus taunted him a bit.

In fact, once a power reached their level, it was indeed like this.

Feng Te’s death had no evidence, and Yue Yun’s death was the same.

But as long as someone subjectively believed it, then the contradiction would instantly erupt.

“Reasonably and emotionally, I should indeed stand on your side, but I cannot tolerate this attitude, nor can I risk it based on your empty promises.”

Tao Yu seemed to be softening up.

Beside him, Treya looked somewhat anxious and said,

“Don’t mind his words, we just need to go to the Abyss when the time comes, and that clearly shows our stance.”

“Just afraid their conflict will explode in these few days…, we can’t let the handle of the knife be in someone else’s hand.”

Tao Yu’s rebuttal pleased Atreus, who thought to himself, ‘Steady!’

He then quickly said,

“Actually, our family is interested in a cooperation involving your company’s ‘Inner Power System’, Spice, and superconductive ore.”

“Heh, does your family dare to invite us in, running the risk of such taboos?”

Acting as a bridgehead for an outside force could easily lead the Decaron family to isolate themselves from the State Capital.

“So it can only be on a certain scale, we could help you open a flagship store and provide some guarantees.

More than that depends on whether you can stabilize the situation.”

Atreus was sincere, did not overpromise, nor did he promise anything beyond his abilities.

The Decaron family had a Catastrophe Level, and also strong World Breakers.

There were more than ten World Breakers whose strength was above Tao Yu’s.

But even so, in their estimated upcoming conflict scale, Tao Yu’s previous victory over Shi Di and his unique space-restriction ability still greatly increased his appeal.

They didn’t even consider bringing in reinforcements from behind the Suns; that wasn’t realistic.

It was merely the invitation of Tao Yu’s combat power…

“Then I also need your protection.

I’ll speak well on your behalf, but if something happens to me, it won’t just fall on the Yue Family…”

Tao Yu seemed to reluctantly agree.

And he also appeared to consider the details of the negotiation thoroughly.

Without mentioning the latter point, if he joined and was then buried by the Decaron family, who would then blame the Yue Family, this was also possible.

After all, the entire Starshine Company in the State Capital was just Tao Yu, a World Breaker.

Atreus also understood his words and promised,

“If Young Master Tao has agreed, then I’ll be straightforward.

We want to make use of young master’s ability to try ambushing the World Breaker targeted by the Yue Family.

We guarantee your safety, and if there truly is a problem, you can blame us.”

This time, the death of Yue Yun meant that even if the Decaron family knew they weren’t responsible, they understood that this matter couldn’t end amicably.

And waiting passively for retaliation was obviously impossible.

Planning counter-ambushes and proactive attacks would be done simultaneously.

“What about my personal remuneration?”

“We will assist you in capturing all the spoils of war, as well as stopping the Yue Family from targeting you.

This we can directly formalize in a contract and even publicize.”

“Fine, I personally agree.

I’ll report back, and there shouldn’t be a problem.”

This matter clearly benefited the Suns more, and it was Tao Yu taking the risk, so naturally, he could decide on his own!

“However, if you don’t encounter any problems in the short term, once time is up, I will return to the Abyss.”

“No problem.

Actually, with Yue Yun dead, the old man of the Yue Family has to account for the clan.

Retaliation will come quickly…”

However, almost the moment Atreus’s voice fell, Tao Yu raised an eyebrow.

“Indeed, they’ve come quickly.

As expected, your visit is up to no good.”

Tao Yu raised his hand, pulling Treya, and in an instant, they performed Shadow Evasion, moving swiftly through the mottled world and leaving the room.

Almost in the next moment, this three-story building in the Suns’ residence was directly impacted by brute force and instantly collapsed!

Bricks and debris scattered, kicking up a trail of dust…
