Chapter 220 Core Members
Chapter 220 Core Members
Zhao Hu is leaning against the wall?
His chest was gurgling like a broken bellows.
His arms were shaking so badly they were almost trembling, and he could barely hold onto the tower shield.
He looked at the monster corpses scattered on the ground, then at Chen Yifan next to him, who was leisurely wiping his dagger with a rag, and felt as if he were having an absurd nightmare.
"You... what the hell are you, you monster?"
Zhao Hu's voice was dry and hoarse, each word sounding as if it were being forced out of his throat.
He had lived for so many years and had seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, masters, but he had never seen anyone like Chen Yifan.
A level 27 professional.
head-on confrontation...
No, it was a massacre.
They slaughtered all thirty-seven Void Aberrations, whose average level was over fifty, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Is this reasonable?
"Shh." Chen Yifan put away the dagger he had wiped clean, and put on his honest yet slightly silly smile again. He pointed to the ceiling, "The guests have arrived."
Zhao Hu was startled and quickly looked up.
At the entrance to the parking lot, several heads were peeking in.
It's Thor's gang.
"Let's go, our 'hero,' it's time to collect our reward."
Chen Yifan patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder with such force that Zhao Hu stumbled.
Seeing the instantaneous change in expression on Chen Yifan's face, Zhao Hu's last shred of hope vanished.
This guy is a demon in human skin.
The two walked out of the parking lot one after the other.
When Thor and his men saw the monster corpses scattered all over the ground, even they, with their vast experience, were collectively speechless.
Thirty-seven Void Aberrations.
That's it...gone?
Was it quietly cleared out by these two newcomers who looked like they hadn't even grown all their teeth yet?
The burly man with two axes had his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, and he didn't even notice when the axes in his hands fell to the ground with a "clatter".
For the first time, Caitlin's usually sharp, eagle-like eyes were filled with utter shock.
She stared intently at the two people who emerged from the darkness.
The shield warrior was covered in blood, his armor riddled with scratches and dents, clearly having endured an extremely fierce battle.
But the assassin behind him...
Caitlin's pupils contracted sharply.
Clean.
It's too clean.
Apart from a few streaks of dust deliberately smeared on his face for disguise, his cheap casual clothes were completely wrinkle-free.
What does this tell us?
This explains the brutal, meat-grinding battle that just took place.
He wasn't even touched by any monster!
How is this possible?!
"Big brother!"
Just as everyone's brains were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, Chen Yifan's loud voice, filled with surprise and admiration, abruptly broke the silence.
He took two steps at a time.
He practically jogged to Thor.
His face was plastered with a smug smile, practically screaming "Praise me!" on his forehead.
"We have accomplished our mission perfectly! Brother, we have handled the task you entrusted to us flawlessly!"
As he spoke, he turned around and proudly raised his chin at Zhao Hu, who looked utterly dejected.
The smug look on Thor's face made the eyes of several veteran team members twitch uncontrollably.
This guy...
Was it really that god of death who silently wiped out the monster horde just now?
The art style switch is just too outrageous!
Thor slowly lowered the military binoculars in his hand.
For the first time, his deep blue eyes scrutinized the Eastern man who called himself "Zhao Hu" with such seriousness.
He didn't speak.
But the air around him became thick and heavy because of his silence.
An invisible, overwhelming pressure, like a collapsing mountain, suddenly descended.
Exhausted, Zhao Hu felt his legs go weak, his kneecaps groaned, and he almost collapsed to his knees.
He had no doubt that Thor could crush him and the madman beside him into mincemeat with a single thought if he so desired.
"Brother, what... what happened to you?"
Chen Yifan seemed completely oblivious to the terrifying aura that could bend steel; his face even carried a perfectly measured hint of confusion and unease.
"Did we, brothers, do something wrong to upset you?"
"Please don't be angry. If you get angry, I'll be very anxious. And if I panic, my brother will panic even more."
As he spoke, he grabbed Zhao Hu's arm and frantically winked at him.
Zhao Hu: "..."
All I want to do right now is slap you back into the womb and remake you!
Thor's gaze lingered on Chen Yifan's "sincere" face for a good ten seconds.
Suddenly, he smiled.
A radiant smile bloomed on that sharply defined, hard face.
He stretched out his huge, fan-like hand and patted Chen Yifan's shoulder heavily.
boom! !
A dull thud.
The concrete ground beneath Chen Yifan's feet cracked in a spiderweb pattern, with several clear fissures centered on his feet!
"Good! Very good!"
Thor's voice, like thunder rolling through everyone's ears, was full of undisguised admiration and satisfaction.
"You two are very good!"
He is not a fool.
He could certainly tell that these two people were hiding a huge secret.
Someone who can stay by the side of a woman like Mu Wanqing.
An assassin who looks exactly like someone else, but is ridiculously strong.
In this bloody game, strength is the only passport to success.
These two people are capable, and they also seem... quite "obedient".
Regardless of their true motives for approaching them.
A good knife, a sturdy shield.
If we could bring them into our fold, it would be a tremendous help.
If not...
A fleeting, chilling killing intent flashed in Thor's eyes.
"From now on,"
His gaze swept over the team members behind him, each with a different expression, and his voice carried an undeniable determination.
"These two are the core members of our 'Thor's Hammer'."
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Core members?
With just these two newcomers of dubious origin?
This treatment is way too good!
Zhao Hu was completely dumbfounded.
So this is the core member?
The information didn't say that Thor was a brainless guy.
"Thank you so much, brother! Thank you for your kindness!"
Chen Yifan was stunned as if he had been hit by a pie from the sky, so excited that he was incoherent.
He grabbed Thor's hand, almost bursting into tears of gratitude.
"Brother, you are like a second parent to me! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west! If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"
That exaggerated acting, those cheesy lines.
Zhao Hu, standing next to him, was so embarrassed that he felt like he was digging a castle out of his shoes with his toes.
He couldn't understand Chen Yifan's actions at all.
But the other party accepted them so easily...
There's definitely something wrong here.
"Alright."
Thor was clearly not used to this kind of Eastern enthusiasm either; he subtly withdrew his hand and resumed his dignified demeanor.
"Clean up the battlefield and collect all the 'Void Chips'."
"yes!"
Everyone immediately took action.
Soon, all thirty-seven black crystal chips, emitting a faint glow, were confiscated.
"Boss, there are thirty-seven in total."
The burly man with two axes respectfully handed them to Thor.
Thor nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Chen Yifan and Zhao Hu, speaking in a tone of reward:
"You've done the most work, so you can choose as many of these chips as you want!"
"No, no, no!"
Without even thinking, Chen Yifan shook his head vigorously.
He was upright and spoke with righteous indignation.
"Brother, what are you saying!"
"It would be a tremendous honor for us brothers to serve you! How could we possibly accept anything from you?"
"These spoils should rightfully be distributed by you, eldest brother!"
This "noble and virtuous" speech left everyone present stunned.
Why would you turn down such a tempting piece of meat?
Is this guy... genuinely stupid, or is he extremely cunning?
"Big brother, my brother may not be the brightest, but he's definitely a good person."
Seeing this, Chen Yifan quickly pointed to Zhao Hu beside him and added.
"My brother and I have always been loyal and righteous since childhood, valuing brotherhood above all else! Money is just an external thing; following a hero like you, brother, is more valuable than anything else!"
Zhao Hu: "..."
He felt that he had been mentally polluted more in one day than he had in the past thirty years combined.
Thor stared at Chen Yifan's face, which was full of "sincerity," and finally revealed a meaningful smile.
"Alright, in that case, I'll keep these chips for you for now."
He pocketed all the chips, then turned his gaze to the three white beams of light shooting into the sky in the distance.
"Let's go and greet our new friend."
"They should know too..."
"Who is the true master of this city?"
