Chapter 606: Chapter 541: Return to the Abyss Chapter 606: Chapter 541: Return to the Abyss “Extra!
Extra!
Tes, the Inspector, has disappeared—this marks the second disappearance of an Inspector recently!”
“The Bright Star Council has issued a warrant, with zero tolerance for attacks on Inspectors!”
“Rumor has it, this might be the work of the Assassin’s League, possibly a hired job.”
“Headquarters of the Assassin’s League suffered an attack, casualties unknown.”
“Decaron Family, Yue Family, Gu Family, Assassin’s League, and other forces are now irreconcilably divided; residents in the area, please take extra precautions.”
“It’s suspected that outside forces have entered, numbers unknown.”
“…”
Tao Yu looked over the latest news summaries with a satisfied expression.
Not bad!
It had little to do with just lending a hand, but he had managed to establish a foothold in the State Capital for the “Scripture Depository,” “Unobtanium,” and “Spice”—albeit a very ordinary one.
Though it wasn’t something to show off publicly,
cutting sausage was hardest with the initial slice; the rest could be crafted with time and patience, taking root eventually.
Now the time had come for him to return to the Abyss as he had originally promised.
All this time, he had been changing identities.
With the Shadow Soldiers from various factions, simulating different abilities came naturally to him.
Today a stealth attack here, a knock there tomorrow.
Officially, he was only lending a friendly fist to the Decaron Family.
Yet, over the past few days, he had probably collected about ten World Breaker soldiers.
Any isolated targets, he didn’t let pass.
Both sides were becoming increasingly desperate.
It was said that the fighting in the Abyss was even fiercer; in the Current World, there was relatively more restraint.
Most of the casualties in the Current World had occurred at Tao Yu’s own hands.
“The Assassin’s League is full of cowards, but it seems they do place high importance on the New Development Zone here in Starshine City.”
Tao Yu’s disguise as ‘Teng Lianghong’ was now fully established.@@novelbin@@
He was indeed Teng Lianghong, even truer than the original.
Thus, he truly could represent the Assassin’s League in some respects.
However, after the attack on the Assassin’s League headquarters and the leader of the Starfire Mercenary Corps “disappearing,” an ‘elite soldier’ who wasn’t at the base at the time contacted him via communicator to be a bit more cautious.
As for the changes in Teng Lianghong’s personality from cautious to somewhat unrestrained,
that’s easy to understand.
He just became Catastrophe Level, after being cautious for so long—why not enjoy the privileges of the powerful?
That’s why initially, ‘elite soldier’ didn’t interfere much with him, only advised him more subtly later, concerned that it might affect the mission in the New Development Zone, and reminded him that it was time to take charge.
“To take charge is to take charge, just when I need to go back—plus, the little rich girl also arrived at the Harkonnen family’s place.”
It had been a while, and Tao Yu missed her.
“Ugh, afterwards it’s all about directly absorbing traits, which included an extra Pleasure Witch.
I think I need to digest it a bit more~”
As he casually thought this, Tao Yu took out an encrypted communicator and spoke into it,
“I’ve fulfilled my promise; I’ll be heading back to the Abyss now.
I wish you all the best.”
Tao Yu simply informed the Decaron Family that he had done his best.
All along, although he had participated in this affair, he had been only a friendly support, without any affiliations.
It was merely to set foot in the State Capital.
The conflicts had turned into a chaotic free-for-all.
It even helped Tao Yu process some of the Hunter Path Sequence 3 and Sequence 4 particles.
Though not much, starting a war of this scale indeed counted for something.
Together with a dozen decent Shadow Soldiers he was taking along, Tao Yu felt that his return over these few days hadn’t been in vain; it had been quite fulfilling…
…
As the scene before him shifted, Tao Yu could smell the familiar fragrance that was still intoxicating.
Watching Sun Shiyu, who was in meditation in his room, dressed in yoga attire that highlighted her perfect curves,
Tao Yu also revealed a slight smile.
Now, his power had indeed surpassed that of the little rich girl!
And with the addition of the Witch Path empowerment, he was not weaker than her in any aspect!
“Back already~”
The heiress blinked and opened her eyes, looking at Tao Yu with a smile.
“Does it look good?”
As she spoke, she deliberately pushed out her chest, letting the yoga outfit outline a clearer, fuller profile.
“Of course, it looks good.
Did you run into any trouble?”
Tao Yu had been worried about the priests.
“No problem.
Since they are still sneaking around, it means they fear the light.
Recently there have been some linked actions, but it seems you guys here have taken out the main force.
There were no World Breakers involved.”
The heiress casually talked about the past few days.
Even without counting the vassal families, the Suns were stronger than the Yue Family, Decaron Family, and others.
Putting aside others, just the impression Sun Guangyao and Sun Guanghui had left on Tao Yu surpassed that of the strong-catastrophe-level Ancestor Patriarch Yue!
Including vassal families like Treya’s, if the Suns mobilized their full family power into White Star City, they would definitely be able to carve out their own place.
But for now, the main interests of the Suns were tied up in the Starshine Company.
“Last time, daring to agree directly to fifty percent, it looks like you have indeed improved quite a bit.
Come, let me check you out~”
Sun Shiyu lunged at him, intending to pin Tao Yu beneath her.
However, Tao Yu caught her by the wrist in a backhand grip and flipped her over.
In their small-scale scuffle, Tao Yu still came out on top.
This made a surprised expression appear on the face of Sun Shiyu, who was under him.
Improved this much?
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
It must be Treya who had returned to the Abyss.
“Wait a moment.”
Tao Yu didn’t say something like “You’ve come at just the right time.”
Although Treya was considered the heiress by default, Tao Yu still cared about her feelings when she was around.
It’s been more than two months, now is the time for some privacy…
…
“I won!”
With bonuses associated with the Witch Path and having surpassed in strength, Tao Yu had finally completed the Succubus taming achievement.
He hadn’t used Taming Technique!
“Wow, it looks like it would be hard to drain you dry…”
In a state that couldn’t be described, the heiress stretched out a lazy finger, dabbed Tao Yu’s bead of sweat, and then licked it off her finger.
It was just a casual action, but it made Tao Yu feel alive once again.
However, looking at the time, he suppressed his excitement and focused his mind.
“Alright, who from your family came over?
Your uncle?”
Tao Yu wanted to assess the combat strength of his allies.
“Yes, he’s good at hiding, but they have someone who excels in Divination and interference, a little tricky.
We’ve tried several tools and still haven’t captured their trace.”
The heiress slowly put on her clothes.
Her super-elastic body and the slight indentations it created were quite eye-catching.
“However, as time moves on, we have a continual stream of harvests and income.
They are just wasting resources here.
Time is on our side.”
The heiress had a clear judgment about the situation.
The Suns, being on the defensive side, indeed had some disadvantages, perhaps being vulnerable while over-extending.
But as long as they could hold on, as time passed, the returns would increase.
Comparatively, those hidden like rats, always dodging, without fixed resources for production, merely scraping by stealthily.
Theoretically speaking, the return on their investment was not worth it.
If this force didn’t engage in conflict, they could carve out a small territory and play king, periodically collecting production resources, and their profits wouldn’t be small.
But now, managing to avoid slipping up was a victory in itself.
However, similarly, some of their unpredictable and unexpected attacks were somewhat troubling for the Suns.
There were already descendants from Floating City who had been killed in their ambushes…
“Hmm, that’s not bad either.
The people that died before can all be put on their heads.”
Tao Yu thought it over, probably they hadn’t killed as many as he had, so they might as well take all the blame.
“I was thinking the same thing…”
The heiress responded with a smile.
Thinking alike…
What do you think?
