Chapter 456 - 276: Appearance of the Exotic Beast 2-2
"Was she the one who researched it?"
Xu Xiang’s expression was somewhat peculiar. He smiled wryly and said:
"Whether she found out by herself or received information from the Imperial City, this thing is important to her anyway."
Wang Hao: "Then just kill it and send it to her when the time comes. We don’t need this thing."
Xu Xiang: "The best effect is when it’s killed and eaten on the spot."
"Alright, let her come over then. It doesn’t matter if you bring her along."
Wang Hao expressed indifference.
One more person, one more helper.
He didn’t know how strong the Fire-Swallowing Bird’s power was.
He also didn’t want to casually use the energy of the Blade of Plunder a lot anymore.
After all, the monsters had calmed down for now.
To launch a large-scale attack, he probably had to wait until spring.
He also didn’t want to casually use the Vajra Indestructible Body anymore.
This thing is too powerful.
Even such a formidable figure as the white-haired elder was hammered to death by him.
This world is too dangerous.
He didn’t want to use up all his chances so quickly.
Chen Lingxue, with her Ice Phoenix superpower, had the timing and the terrain on her side, and her strength was not bad. She probably wouldn’t be a hindrance.
"Haha, I’ll go notify Lingxue and let her start now."
Xu Xiang hurriedly ran out again.
"Brother, Sister Lingxue seems to have quite a wide network, huh."
Xiaoyueyue swallowed the beef in her mouth and said meaningfully.
She had also heard some things about the Chen Family.
In her heart, she felt a bit of dissatisfaction with Chen Lingxue.
Just a child after all!
Still believing in pure love.
When too much interest is involved, the feelings are no longer pure.
"The world of adults is something kids don’t understand."
Wang Hao reached out and patted Xiaoyueyue’s head:
"Before the apocalypse, those pure and eternal love stories you see in novels and on TV were often called ’love-brained’ by many.
During school days, it might still exist a little, but once you step into society, it’s basically all about interests."
"Lingxue, coming from a big family, is a career-driven strong woman. It’s only normal for her to weigh her options."
At this point, Wang Hao paused and revealed a wry smile on his face:
"Besides, there isn’t actually any deep affection between me and her. Our time together in college was just a slight fondness at most.
After all these years, it probably has long faded."
"Brother, Yueyue is a love-brain."
Xiaoyueyue looked at Wang Hao and said with a serious face:
"Yueyue’s favorite, forever, will only be brother. Never fickle, Yueyue will never, never, never leave brother."
On Wang Hao’s face, a gentle smile appeared, and he reached out to pat Xiaoyueyue’s head again:
"Even if you wanted to leave, I wouldn’t let you go. If anyone dares to take Yueyue away from me, I’d kill them."
"Hehe, like a domineering CEO? Yueyue likes it."
Xiaoyueyue giggled, then tilted her head and asked:
"Then why didn’t you kill Brother Xu Xiang, and that other person, whoever they are?"
"She’s different from you."
Wang Hao shook his head and then put some food into Xiaoyueyue’s bowl;
"Alright, eat up. Let’s not talk about this. As for matters between me and Lingxue, let’s let nature take its course."
When it came to Chen Lingxue, Wang Hao actually wasn’t that enthusiastic anymore.
Although he understood Chen Lingxue in his heart, understanding is one thing, and being angry is another.
No man would like women who are involved with multiple partners.
Chen Lingxue’s hesitance made him feel uncomfortable.

Equality Association’s Hua Country Headquarters
In a secret chamber, a middle-aged man was looking at a large screen.
The person on the screen was none other than Wang Hao.
The man wore a Zhongshan suit, and his face was as if carved by a knife, with a very resolute look.
Beside him, a ninja-dressed person was half-kneeling.
Upon closer inspection, the chest of the middle-aged man was embroidered with a golden balance symbol, the same as the white-haired elder’s.
The ninja’s forehead protector also bore the symbol of a balance.
Equality Association!
The balance is the symbol of the Equality Association, and only those with certain status can possess it.
"Is it this young man?"
The ninja’s voice was deep: "He could actually kill Elder Huo? Even if he’s a cultivator, how many years has he been cultivating? Could there be others helping him?"
"According to intelligence, Elder Huo first had a big fight with Xu Xiang, who possesses the Cyan Dragon superpower, and Chen Lingxue, who possesses the Ice Phoenix superpower, and after heavily injuring both of them, Wang Hao made his appearance.
However, given Elder Huo’s strength, it wouldn’t take much effort to deal with those two kids!"
The middle-aged man’s eyes were fixed on Wang Hao’s photo as he spoke in a deep voice:
"It seems we’ve underestimated this Wang Hao. He’s a cultivator and a very strong one at that."
"But... Elder Huo’s strength is clear. Even if he couldn’t win, he could escape, right? How could he die so easily?
Moreover, the intelligence seems to suggest Wang Hao wasn’t injured and was back to normal after a nap. Isn’t that a bit incredible?"
The ninja still expressed disbelief.
He was well aware of Elder Huo’s power.
It was the early days of the apocalypse; how could such a person be killed so easily?
"What if Wang Hao used the fruit?"
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Intelligence gleamed in his deep-set eyes.
"Hiss————"
The ninja inhaled sharply.
If he used that fruit correctly, then it’s indeed possible.
But.... how did he know how to use it?
"Wang Hao was just an ordinary person before, but before the apocalypse, he rented a villa, made modifications, and hoarded lots of supplies.
Once the apocalypse began, he’s been moving like he’s divinely aided, someone must be guiding him."
The middle-aged man’s gaze flickered as he said in a deep voice, "That master might be someone even we can’t afford to provoke."
"Apocalypse? If we didn’t get the news, how could anyone else?"
The ninja expressed disbelief.
This apocalypse took everyone by surprise.
Even the Equality Association, with its numerous talents, was caught off guard.
"Nothing is impossible in this world. Have you forgotten? Some cultivators walk the path of divination."
The middle-aged man said calmly.
The ninja fell silent.
The cultivation realm of Hua Country once dominated the world and no one dared to provoke it.
Its spells were all-encompassing.
The divination technique was one of its more renowned branches.
However, this lineage, leaking the secrets of heaven, faced divine retribution and naturally had fewer people.
Top-notch existences were rare as phoenix feathers.
Even an organization as vast as the Equality Association didn’t have such beings.
"This......"
The ninja fell silent, evidently convinced by the middle-aged man.
"What do we do next?"
"For now, let’s not provoke him. The Vajra Indestructible Body is very troublesome, and besides, he might have a powerful backer.
One that’s proficient in the art of divination."
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, then said softly:
"The data on the Corpse Poison Serum will soon be traded with the major settlement camps worldwide.
We can also obtain it simultaneously. There’s no need to invest too much energy on him now."
The ninja remained silent.
The Equality Association operated like this, always putting interests first.
They never acted on impulse. If the white-haired elder was only wounded and captured, they would certainly send people to rescue him.
Now that he’s dead, people forget the deceased; they won’t pay too much of a price for revenge.
"Notify all divisions in the Yangtze River Delta Region to abandon all plans against Wang Hao immediately.
Unless necessary, avoid any conflict with Wang Hao and the forces he controls."
The middle-aged man issued the order.
"Yes!"
The ninja responded, his figure slowly fading away.
"Wang Hao! I’m curious to see how far you can go in this chaotic world and what kind of power lies hidden behind you?"
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Hao’s handsome face and issued another order:
"Closely monitor Wang Hao’s moves. Use whatever it takes to plant someone by his side or turn his members into our allies."
"Understood!"
A female voice leisurely echoed in the room.
