Chapter 20: Damn It, It’s You!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room immediately became silent and serious.
After Chris raised that doubt, it seemed that Stark’s lie was about to be exposed.
But even then, everything should have been considered by Stark.
How could he not have thought of this situation?
Stark immediately pretended to be panicked and answered, “It’s like this, gentlemen. Actually, I’ve already used the spirit crystals to strengthen my body.
“They made my body as strong as an athlete.
“With my strengthened body, I’ve been fighting zombies all day, trying to get more crystals. But gradually, I found that as I used more and more crystals, they weren’t as effective as the first time.
“After using dozens of crystals, there was basically no improvement.
“Then, I was seduced by this evil woman. When I was unprepared, she took advantage of me and controlled me with a sneak attack.”
After saying that, Stark did not forget to glare at Caitlin, who was beside him.
All of this had been thought up by Stark beforehand.
He was extremely confident. For Transcendent individuals like the bandit group, even if they used spirit crystals to strengthen their abilities every day, it was impossible for them to know this fact.
They couldn’t possibly know what effect an ordinary person would have after using crystals.
Moreover, the more crystals used, the less obvious the effect would be. This was also the conclusion he had obtained after personally experimenting.
Therefore, if he were to tell the truth and lie, it was impossible for these people to catch him.
As expected.
After listening to Stark’s explanation, Mycroft, who was closest to Stark, immediately relaxed and laughed out loud.
“Haha! So, it’s no wonder you were willing to offer so many crystals to us! It turns out that it’s no longer of use to you. It’s more important to exchange them for your life.
“Chris, my baby, we’ve really struck it rich this time. Wait for me; I’ll collect these crystals first.”
After hearing this, Chris’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly. However, after hearing the latter part of the sentence where Mycroft called her “baby,” an obvious cold expression appeared on her face.
“I’ve said it before, a piece of trash like you isn’t worthy of my body! Do you want to die?”
However, no matter how terrifying Chris’s killing intent was, she still had to quickly collect the 200 crystals on the ground first.
Therefore, she did not attack Mycroft. Instead, like Mycroft, she quickly returned to her room.
After seeing the actions of Mycroft and Chris, Stark’s concentration rose to an all-time high.
The other party had finally made a move!
If nothing unexpected happened, his plan was about to be completed.
He wasn’t a fool. How could he tie himself up and send himself to someone else’s door?
From the beginning until now, he had been acting with these bandits for so long! Everything he did was planned.
He knew very well that his purpose of coming here was to plunder spirit crystals.
A bandit group like this, with Transcendents, had definitely accumulated a hefty sum of spirit crystals after three days. They must have stored them in a spirit crystal wristband.
But the wristbands could be removed.
So what if he killed these disgusting bandits? If they didn’t hand over the wristbands that stored a large number of crystals, it was a small matter to dirty his hands. The most important thing was to not waste his effort.
So, he had to wait until these bandits took out the wristbands on their own accord.
At that time, he could do it!
The plan was about to be completed.
Mycroft and Chris walked out of the room with their own wristbands in their hands.
Especially Mycroft’s face, which was suddenly filled with a sinister smile like that of a demon.
“Hehe, Kid, since things have come to this point, I’ll tell you the truth.
“Ever since you stepped through this door, your life no longer belonged to you!
“Your mistake is that you should never have handed over the crystals so early. This way, you might have been able to negotiate with us for a way out.
“But now, after giving us the crystals, what awaits you is certain death!
“Recently, my desire to kill has been very high. Don’t worry, I will be gentler.
“I plan to knock you out first. Then, when you don’t feel any pain, I will use a knife to cut your body bit by bit, dismembering it bit by bit and turning you into what a dead person should look like!
“You’d better pray that you don’t wake up halfway, hahahaha...”
Mycroft’s smile became more ferocious and savage. At the same time, a sharp and terrifying dagger had appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
However, Stark, who had been tied up with his head lowered, suddenly raised his head. A strange and sinister smile flashed on his face.
“No, it’s you who should die!”
