Chapter 100: The World Boss

What began as a simple hobby—writing a novel—has now reached one hundred chapters. It truly fills me with awe.

The shopkeeper was momentarily stunned by Muyang’s words, about to say something but then held back. After speaking, Muyang immediately rushed toward Jinmu’s location. He had been ambushed; if it wasn’t aimed at him specifically, then it was definitely targeting Jinmu. He had to hurry to Jinmu’s side at once.

Muyang contacted Izumi Takatsuki directly. “Izumi Takatsuki, where is Gecko right now? Tell me, quickly.”

“Ah? Gecko, right.” Izumi caught the urgency in Muyang’s tone and wasted no time, contacting Gecko immediately. But Gecko was already too busy to answer. Muyang’s suspicion was correct: this was indeed an operation targeting Jinmu, and that one Paradise traveler had only existed to stall him.

“Gecko can’t be reached. However, other members said Gecko just headed to the Bronze Tree’s District 12 stronghold,” Izumi informed Muyang.

“Alright, got it.” Muyang was about to hang up when a voice came from beside Izumi: “Boss, a group of people with unusual abilities just arrived at the District 12 stronghold. They’re attacking the base, seemingly trying to capture that one-eyed ghoul Gecko brought back!”

“Tell them not to hand that person over! I’m on my way!” Muyang shouted into the phone, then quickly set off toward District 12.

On the way, Muyang changed into another custom-made mask. This mask was simple—a smiling face, but with eerie patterns around the eyes, giving off a repressive vibe. (If you can’t picture it, imagine the mask of Black Uncle.)

Muyang definitely could not wear his mysterious mask in an urgent rescue. Not only would Jinmu recognize him, but the Bronze Tree ghouls would also realize the Shepherd was not an enemy but an ally, which would complicate their cooperation with Taizong. Also, Jinmu would recognize Muyang instantly.

But Muyang had anticipated this and had someone make him a different mask for the occasion.

Upon reaching the Bronze Tree stronghold in District 12, most of the area lay in ruins. A few remaining ghouls were still fighting back, but it seemed the CCG forces would arrive soon. The ghouls were desperately searching for reinforcements. If none came soon, this stronghold in District 12 would have to be abandoned.

Muyang drew his justice and bribes and charged directly at a Paradise traveler. With a single shot, the traveler’s head exploded like a watermelon.

Then Muyang sprayed the next Paradise traveler beside him, who instantly died. But after these two deaths, the Paradise system suddenly broadcast a message to all Paradise travelers.
