Chapter 3143

Kingsley had already arranged it. According to the plan, they would arrange a banquet tonight. Calculating carefully, Kingsley had been on the Western Continent for more than ten days, and even the news of his death had been sent back during this period. Of course, he had to organize a banquet to stabilize the situation of the Eclipse organization.

In fact, Su Xiao was doing the same thing. Just after returning to the Southern Continent, he rushed back to the Institution's headquarters. With the support of Dean Vick, Lady Xiulin, and a group of mid-to-high-level members, he regained his position as Legion Commander. Don't forget, he voluntarily resigned from the position of Institution Legion Commander in order to serve as the deputy commander of the temporary alliance.

The situation of the Institution and the Eclipse organization had stabilized, and the relationship between the Southern Alliance and the Eastern Alliance was somewhat subtle, both busy with post-war resource extraction and distribution issues.

A simple metaphor for the situation on both sides is: good brothers in the early stage, sulking in the middle stage, and looking at each other as idiots in the late stage.

In the office, Su Xiao signaled Baja to open the window. The cool evening breeze blew the curtains. Su Xiao had just leaned back in his seat and napped for more than two hours. Blown by the evening breeze, his thoughts became a bit more active. He looked at the time; it was already past ten o'clock, less than an hour away from the 11 o'clock appointment with Kingsley.

Tonight, Su Xiao would take people to launch a surprise attack on the banquet held by Kingsley, and tomorrow night, Kingsley would take people to launch a surprise attack on the Institution's headquarters to snatch Dangerous Object S-001. The reason was: your Institution's Legion Commander abducted my wife and children. If you want Dangerous Object S-001, you can have it, but exchange it with my wife and children.

Snatching S-001 was equivalent to falling out with the entire containment organization, and even forming an irreconcilable blood feud, the kind that would fight to the end. But if before that, the Institution's Legion Commander abducted Kingsley's wife and children, this would be a justifiable reason. Whether it was Institution members, the containment hospital, or the financial department, they would all feel secretly in the wrong. That's right, it was our Legion Commander who made the first move.

As Su Xiao, who made the first move, it was not without reason. During the Western Continent war, the three major leaders of the enemy side, the three knights, mysteriously disappeared. He suspected that Kingsley was shielding the three knights and wanted to use the power of the nematodes.

Su Xiao of course knew that Kingsley had cleaned up the three knights and scattered their ashes in the river. This was not important; outsiders just needed not to know about this. As for the Ring 1 to Ring 5 who cleaned up the three knights together with Kingsley, these were Kingsley's confidants, and outsiders wouldn't believe their testimony.

The Alliance world was not without laws. It was a savage and violent world where the four major forces balanced each other, and no side would do that kind of unreasonable thing (at least not on the surface).

Therefore, in doing anything, one must first occupy a "reason". Abducting Kingsley's wife and children, Su Xiao just wanted Kingsley to hand over the three knights. Kingsley snatching S-001 was to save his wife and children. Neither side acted without reason.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment and explained something to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja. A few minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang integrated into the environment, and Baja shuttled into the different space.

"Hunting Tide, I have a task for you."

"Hmm."

Hunting Tide crossed her arms. Obviously, she was not as resistant as before. It wasn't that she hadn't resisted, but it was really useless, and she would be used incidentally during the process.

"In any case, Kingsley and I are in a cooperative relationship. It is not a decent thing for me to personally capture his wife. You are responsible for this matter."

"Okay."

Hunting Tide readily agreed. She had interacted with Kingsley's wife before and had some personal friendship.

Su Xiao began to wait for news from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja. With nothing to do, he opened the World Origin Ranking to check the current ranking.

【World Origin Ranking has been refreshed, current ranking is as follows.】

First place: Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise), 73.56% World Origin.

Second place: Xianji (Holy Light Paradise), 52.7% World Origin.

Third place: Alec (Death Paradise), 38.6% World Origin.

Fourth place: Enzo (Death Paradise): 37.91% World Origin.

Fifth place: Guozu Three Brothers (Reincarnation Paradise), 28.88% World Origin (Contract number compatible state).

Sixth place: Black Rose (Reincarnation Paradise), 27.5% World Origin.

Seventh place: Guangmu (Holy Light Paradise), 18.62% World Origin.

The changes in the World Origin Ranking were not small. Su Xiao's first place was temporarily stable, but with Xianji's strength, it was not impossible to rush up and overtake him.

Third-place Alec lost his position as the eternal second. Not only that, a contractor named Enzo emerged suddenly. This person originally didn't enter the top ten. Su Xiao remembered that this person was ranked eleventh. Just after the war on the Western Continent ended, this person's ranking improved by leaps and bounds.

Su Xiao speculated that Enzo was a contractor of the Western Continent faction. The other party gave up the accumulation over there at the end and didn't know in what way he exchanged the previous accumulation for a large amount of World Origin.

Regarding this contractor named Enzo, Su Xiao had of course heard of him. The name of the contract killer, Water Brother, was widely spread within the eighth tier. Water Brother's famous battle was 1 vs 37. Don't think it was against 37 eighth-tier salted fish; those were all contractors with eighth-tier high-echelon strength.

That was a Gobi desert. Water Brother, who was blind in both eyes, just sat there. Enemies within a few hundred meters around him, whoever moved would die, and would be cut into thousands of pieces by the thin-as-cicada-wing water layer. Not only could they not move, but whoever attacked Water Brother through long-range means, the next moment, their head would be cut off directly by the water line.

This was one of Water Brother's famous battles. There was another famous battle, which was his 1-on-1 fight with Brigade No. 4. The battle was recorded by a healing-type girl. The picture was completely distorted; it was Brigade No. 4's gravity ability affecting the camera device.

Basically, everyone's evaluation of Water Brother was that this person was easy to get along with, humble and strong. If cooperating, he was worth trusting.

There was a bored guy who counted the behavioral style intelligence of contractors he knew from tier 1 to 8, and ranked them.

Water Brother ranked third, Shenhuang ranked twelfth personally, Guozu ranked twenty-ninth. As for Su Xiao's ranking, one had to look after the fifth place. He, the Gray Gentleman, the Priest, the Black Demon Fatty, and others were neighbors in this ranking, each separated by no more than 10 places.

Some contractors joked that this ranking had little reference value for finding partners, but the dozens behind absolutely shouldn't be provoked. Overall, the warning value of this ranking was very high.

Su Xiao closed the World Origin Ranking. The idea of killing Xianji became stronger. The hostility between the two sides was inevitable, and they were also in a competitive relationship.

Just as Su Xiao was thinking about how to deal with Xianji, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sent a message that it and Baja had already arranged everything.

Su Xiao let Amu wait at the designated location, then took the skinny monkey Xili and Guangmu to leave the Institution's headquarters. This time, not many people were needed.

11 o'clock at night, Sanrogo Hotel.

Today, the 'Sanrogo Hotel' had a distinguished guest. From the golden hour of the evening, it no longer received other guests, only waiting for the distinguished guests who booked the banquet hall to arrive.

There were only two security personnel at the main entrance of the hotel, standing in the corner. Tonight, security personnel were not needed here; among the distinguished guests who came, many mastered Transcendent power.

Several bellboys were located on both sides of the red carpet at the main entrance, responsible for receiving guests or parking for distinguished guests who came alone. Under the illumination of the warm yellow lights, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

The distinguished guests had all entered. Several bellboys were full of joy, their pockets bulging, having received quite a few tips.

A thin man in formal attire walked out of the hotel's main entrance. He looked at the watch on his wrist, and his expression began to be displeased.

"It's already 11 o'clock, why hasn't Ring 2 arrived yet? Actually being late today, that gloomy guy."

Ring 8 Huazhuo looked around the street in front. Just as he was about to let his men find Ring 2, he found a figure sitting on the top of the fourth floor opposite. Looking closely, wasn't that Ring 2?

"Ring 2, what cold wind are you blowing there? The banquet has already started."

"......"

Ring 2, sitting on the roof, didn't speak, just pointed to a car on the street, which made Ring 8 Huazhuo look puzzled, and then realized. He smiled and turned to walk into the hotel, waving his hand with his back turned: "Thank you for your hard work. You guy is always so reassuring. In such an occasion, you are actually still worried about someone doing something to the lady's vehicle."

The night breeze blew slowly, and Ring 2, sitting on the roof, didn't say a word, just sat there waiting.

Until 1 o'clock in the morning, the banquet had a trend of dispersing. Guests who were drunk walked out of the hotel under the support of subordinates or waiters and were picked up by cars one by one.

After a while, a beautiful woman holding a baby walked out of the hotel, followed by Ring 8 Huazhuo.

A black car stopped, and the waiter immediately stepped forward to open the door. The beautiful woman holding the baby got into the back seat, and Ring 8 Huazhuo made a gesture to get into the front passenger seat, but a shout came from behind:

"Ring 8, the boss is looking for you."

"Ah? I have to escort the lady back."

"This......"

The one-armed woman inside the hotel door looked embarrassed. Seeing this, Huazhuo poked his head into the car and saw Ring 2 sitting in the driver's seat.

"Ring 2, wait for me a moment. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's more stable for the two of us to protect the lady together."

"Hmm."

Ring 2 in the driver's seat responded and turned off the car. Ring 8 Huazhuo patted the roof of the car and turned to run into the hotel.

This wait lasted for half an hour. Kingsley's wife in the back seat didn't say anything, but Ring 2 often took out his pocket watch and looked at it every few minutes. It could be felt that he was suppressing his anger.

"Madam, shall we let Ring 4 or Ring 5 accompany us?"

Ring 2 opened his mouth. Kingsley's wife in the back seat shook her head. Ring 4 had other important matters, and Ring 5's figure was over four meters tall. Unless sitting on the roof or running behind, that was too disrespectful to Ring 5.

"Ring 2, let's go back first."

Kingsley's wife's voice was gentle, but also had some of Kingsley's composure.

"Madam, wait for Ring 8 for a few more minutes......"

"No need. If you wait for him for a few more minutes, you two might have some conflict tomorrow. Your leader is already very tired, don't add unnecessary trouble to him. Drive, I trust you just like my husband."

"Hmm."

Ring 2 started the vehicle and drove steadily. The speed was not slow, but very stable.

Beep beep!

Strong light shone from the front, and a white vehicle drove head-on. Ring 2 in the driver's seat made a gesture to raise his hand, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"Ring 2, don't~"

Beep!!

The two cars narrowly passed each other, and on both sides of the street, dozens of figures rushed out from the darkness.

Boom~

A low roar appeared in everyone's ears. The sound was not loud, but everyone heard it. The vehicle carrying Kingsley's wife penetrated a layer of light film and had disappeared more than half.

A big claw reached out and grabbed the tail box of the vehicle with a click. Because the vehicle was already driving at full speed, accompanied by the tearing sound of metal, this big claw pulled off half of the tail box, and sparks flew everywhere.

The light film across the street disappeared, and the spatial fluctuations caused by this light film also dissipated.

After a moment, three figures rushed over: a strong man over four meters tall, a one-armed woman, and Ring 8 Huazhuo.

"Where... where are the people?!"

Ring 8 Huazhuo grabbed the neck of an Eclipse member. Every piece of flesh on his face was trembling, and his brow was wrinkled into a character.

"I, I don't know."

"Damn it!"

Ring 8 Huazhuo suppressed the anger in his heart. He immediately let his subordinates find the Hound. That was not a dog, but the title of a Transcendent.

In the edge area of Gaman City, on a deserted street, the buildings on both sides looked old and dilapidated. If it weren't for the moonlight, it would be pitch black here at night.

A vehicle with half of its tail box pulled off slowly stopped. Ring 2 in the driver's seat pressed one hand on his face and took off the mask on his face. His appearance and clothing changed rapidly. It was the skinny monkey Xili.

The skinny monkey Xili carefully put away the mask. He turned to look at the back seat and said with a smile:

"Mrs. Kingsley...... uh, let's call you Ms. Nan. Ms. Nan, I say I have no malice, do you believe it?"

"I believe it. What should I do? How should I cooperate with you? Don't hurt my child."

Kingsley's wife was very calm, so calm that the skinny monkey Xili felt surprised.

The car door opened. Su Xiao sat in the front passenger seat, and Hunting Tide sat in the back seat.

As soon as Su Xiao got into the car, Kingsley's wife's expression became extremely solemn. She knew that tonight's matter was bigger than imagined. The Institution and the Eclipse organization might be about to break up.

"Bai Ye, aren't you and my husband in a cooperative relationship? For the sake of us mother and son, is it worth it?"

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak. He habitually wanted to pull out a cigarette, but after thinking about it, he took out a Soul Crystal (Small) and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunch.

Su Xiao's habitual action made Kingsley's wife's pupils shrink rapidly. The ring on her little finger opened silently, and a hard-to-perceive energy wrapped around the baby in her arms.

"Mrs. Kingsley, we have already prepared a residence for you. You......"

Hunting Tide spoke in as gentle a voice as possible, but at this moment, Kingsley's wife suddenly swung a punch sideways.

Boom!!

Hunting Tide flew backward like a residual shadow. The carriage where she was just now turned into iron fragments and flew everywhere.

Rubble fell from above Hunting Tide. She sat in a half-collapsed wall, completely stunned, and her face still hurt.

Kingsley's wife jumped out from the broken vehicle. Half of a metal cane flew out from her sleeve, and the other half detached from the outside of her lower leg. With a click, the two halves connected together and were held in Kingsley's wife's hand.

Kingsley's wife stood on the ground. She pointed the metal cane in her hand at the ground. With a click, the metal cane fully extended. The cane body unfolded into pieces of connected sharp blades, and finally, the whole thing turned into a cane whip. With a flick, most of the cane whip hung on the ground.

Hunting Tide and Xili were both stunned. Hunting Tide stood up and walked forward slowly.

"Who are you?"

Hunting Tide seriously doubted, is this really Kingsley's wife?

Kingsley's wife held the cane whip in one hand and hugged the baby in her arms with the other. She said: "I am...... an ordinary housewife."
