I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 562 146: The Military's Olive Branch

Seeing Yun You leave without even a greeting, Shen Ye and Vitinya were somewhat stunned, not understanding what had just happened.

"Uh... well..."

After a moment of silence, Vitinya scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I heard from senior brothers and sisters a while ago that the old man's new apprentice has a quirky personality and is shy, not fond of talking."

"Leaving without saying goodbye this time probably means we did something wrong and accidentally offended her... Sorry, Shen, please don't mind."

This time, Vitinya changed his address to Shen Ye, no longer calling him "Ronier," but directly using his real name.

It seems he previously had some secrets with Yun You.

"No worries, no worries."

Seeing Vitinya apologize, Shen Ye hurriedly waved it off with a smile: "No need to apologize, Vini, Death Gods have their personalities; it's normal. And I suddenly appearing in front of her without prior notice was somewhat intrusive..."

"Perhaps next time we meet, your apprentice sister might be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat with me."

Vitinya nodded with a smile, agreeing: "Indeed, with your conversational skills and social abilities, Shen, after meeting a few times, you'll likely be friends with her."

"Alright then, let's not dwell on these unpleasant matters and continue with our prior collaboration."

He turned, took a wine glass and bottle of wine from the attendant, and personally poured Shen Ye a drink, speaking softly: "I recall you mentioning earlier about something intriguing in the former mayor Carlos's treasury, right?"

"I've thought it over but can't quite figure out what treasure there could capture your interest, Shen."

"Could it be... an authentic military prosthetic body?"

According to the Apprentice Death God society standards, Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods do have the eligibility to receive aid from military prosthetic bodies, as typical military prosthetics are best suited for Death Gods at this stage.

However, standards never equate to real circumstances.

Military prosthetic body production is low, and most are custom-made; even highly capable Tier Four Death Gods like Vitinya and Shen Ye don't have the chance to obtain one.

Moreover, most Apprentice Death Gods haven't even laid eyes on a military prosthetic body, only a select few influential or fortunate ones can glimpse such treasures.

If Carlos's treasury indeed contains a military prosthetic body, it would be a massive draw for Vitiya and Shen Ye.

"Military prosthetic body? Could be possible."

Shen Ye smiled but then shifted tone, saying softly, "But compared to what I want to discuss, a military prosthetic body seems cheap."

"...!"

Vitinya was taken aback internally but maintained his usual smile outwardly.

"What exactly is..."

Shen Ye gently shook his head, pointing randomly at the crowd around.

"This isn't the place for such discussions, let's find a quieter spot instead."

Upon hearing this, Vitinya hesitated for a moment.

He knew well there's an unspoken rule among Apprentice Death Gods—when facing treasures, if one listens to another's intel secret, it means aligning with that person.

Undoubtedly, Shen Ye intended to recruit him.

Aligning oneself while the situation remains unclear is never wise, though he's had decent private interactions with Shen Ye over the past year, making friends and forming alliances are distinct matters; usually, Vitinya wouldn't agree to this.

However...

The treasure Shen Ye mentioned genuinely piqued his interest.

What could be more valuable than a military prosthetic body?

Just listening doesn't seem problematic... With two Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods and dozens of supports, they could easily stir up chaos in Nest City.

For his own gains, for the revival of his family, he's willing to take this risk...

With that thought, the two shared a smile and quietly left the bustling venue, disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, Yun You also left the venue alone, taking a seat in a secluded garden.

This spot, though away from the crowd and the hall, provided a direct view into the hall through a straight corridor, allowing Yun You to keep surveillance unnoticed.

[Honestly, Yun kid, your state earlier was truly terrifying]

With no one around, Master Zero finally spoke again, murmuring in a somewhat frightened tone...

[Your mind was consumed by hatred, reason and humanity burned out by fury, organs instinctively overloaded to provide more power...]

[I only experienced this when you killed Yang Lie]

[Frankly, I was truly afraid you'd act impulsively, recklessly don armor and go fight that guy]

Feeling Master Zero's concern, Yun You suddenly smiled.

"Was it terrifying?"

"Actually, the angrier I get, the faster my brain works, so I calmed down as soon as you spoke."

"My thoughts are not about Shen Ye now, but rather on some matters concerning my fifth senior brother."

Leaning against the chair, she settled into the most comfortable position and murmured: "After what's happened, I can confirm two things."

"First, my fifth senior brother definitely knows Shen Ye's true identity, and calling him 'Ronier' was probably Shen Ye's own request."
