Chapter 653

"Two old schemers?"

Su Xiao could basically confirm that this young girl was not here to assassinate him.

"Yes, two old schemers. Red Clown and Chrollo have teamed up. The two of them are preparing to launch a massive attack on the auction house. Listening to their conversation, it seems they want to kill the same person."

The person the Clown and the leader want to kill is, of course, Su Xiao. Vini doesn't know this for the time being; she only knows that Su Xiao's status within the Ten Dons' forces is not low, which is why she came to find Su Xiao for cooperation.

"So it's those two teaming up."

Su Xiao vaguely felt that things were not looking good. Neither the Clown nor the leader was easy to deal with, and it would be even more troublesome after the two teamed up.

"The situation is basically like this. If you need evidence, I can provide it. Not just me, but apart from the Clown, most contractors will move toward the auction house. If the auction cannot proceed, no one will be able to escape the penalty of all attributes -3."

Vini stared fixedly at Su Xiao, a vague sense of unease in her heart.

"Cooperation, Clown, Troupe leader, unknown creatures..."

Su Xiao already understood what was going on. At this moment, the Clown and the leader are cooperating; not only do the two have the combat power of the Troupe itself, but they also hold a large number of unknown creatures in their hands.

"If we are to cooperate, information sharing is the most basic condition. What are those unknown creatures?"

Su Xiao looked at Vini with a smile on his face; the other party must have been forced by circumstances to come and find him for cooperation.

A special grenade suddenly appeared in Vini's fair little hand. This grenade was not small and looked very much like a pineapple.

"Hey, I just came to find you for cooperation, don't stare at me like that, I've got goosebumps. Could it be that you want to sleep with me? If you don't want to sleep with me, then you must want to kill me."

Vini raised her arm; she felt some of her hairs standing on end at this moment, the distance was too close.

"I just thought of one thing."

As Su Xiao spoke, he slowly drew Checking Zhan Long Shan.

"What thing?"

"That incident where you sniped at me before, it really was surprising. You actually dared to appear in front of me. It felt pretty good sniping at me before, right?"

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Vini pulled the pin of the pineapple grenade in her hand.

"Although I should show my chest to express sincerity, if you dare to take one more step closer, I'll let go."

Vini held up the pineapple grenade. Although this grenade looked unremarkable, it made Su Xiao feel threatened.

"See for yourself."

Vini sent a short video via her Reincarnation Brand. Su Xiao opened the video, and after watching this video that was only forty seconds long, he sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan.

"What time are the Clown and the others attacking?"

"Nine o'clock sharp, which is when the auction starts. The Clown's brain must have a problem. If the mission fails, he will also receive the penalty of all attributes -3. Damn it."

Vini stomped her foot in anger. What she didn't know was that this was the style of conduct for rule-breakers.

Rule-breakers wouldn't consider whether they complete the main mission. Apart from the penalty of forced execution, rule-breakers dare to endure any penalty; they have other ways to obtain benefits.

Just like now, if Red Clown flattens the auction house and ultimately causes the auction to be unable to continue, he himself will also be penalized.

But the Clown doesn't care about these; he has other ways to make up for this penalty of all attributes -3, and there will be more gains afterward.

While the Clown gains benefits, all the contractors in the Hunter World will be unlucky. This is why Reincarnation Paradise lets Su Xiao hunt down rule-breakers.

Reincarnation Paradise's purpose is unclear, but judging from its many actions, it is letting contractors continuously become stronger, thereby completing more dangerous missions.

According to Su Xiao's guess, Reincarnation Paradise should be able to gain benefits when contractors execute missions. The two sides are in a good symbiotic relationship, so Reincarnation Paradise will not issue mortal missions to contractors.

Rule-breakers have broken this balance. They not only pit contractors against each other but also indirectly pit Reincarnation Paradise. If it weren't for the constraints of the rules, Reincarnation Paradise would directly forcibly execute rule-breakers. Precisely because of this, hunters came into being to eliminate rule-breakers within the rules.

Reincarnation Paradise will not interfere in the fighting between contractors; this is also a form of survival of the fittest. However, rule-breakers directly interfere with contractors completing missions, which makes Reincarnation Paradise unable to tolerate it.

Red Clown must have done something to break the rules; otherwise, the blue-haired girl's main mission would not have suddenly changed. The change in the main mission put all contractors on the same front.

"I refuse the alliance, but I also won't stop you from opposing Red Clown, or kick you out of the auction house."

Su Xiao is not used to working closely with contractors; it easily exposes his identity.

"So that means we're each fighting our own battles? Fine, very good. This is actually my wish too. We've been hostile before, and neither of us would feel at ease handing our backs to the other. Just let me set up a defensive line in the auction house."

"Deal."

"Deal."

Vini extended her fair palm, seemingly wanting to shake hands with Su Xiao, but she was still holding the pineapple grenade in her other hand.

Su Xiao also extended his hand. Vini revealed her neat little white teeth, smiling somewhat cunningly.

"Forget it. Close contact with a melee expert like you is not a pleasant experience. What if you get any improper thoughts and pin me to the ground to rub me?"

Vini re-inserted the pin of the pineapple grenade and put it away extremely carefully.

"What is this thing?"

Su Xiao was somewhat curious; this 'grenade' in the other party's hand could actually pose a threat to him.

Vini, who had just wanted to put away the large pineapple grenade, became interested.

"This?" She raised the pineapple grenade in her hand: "This is my original Large Pineapple PST3. Uh~ simply put, it contains a hydrogen bomb processed using space compression technology inside. Pull the pin, release the safety valve, and it will... Boom, you, me, and most of Yorknew will disappear."

Vini giggled, her face slightly flushed.

Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. There really were no normal people in the Troupe within Reincarnation Paradise. If he had drawn his blade just now, this girl would have unhesitatingly died together with him.

"Would I come to find you to talk if I didn't have any certainty? I'm going to the high ground to set up a turret. Also, that sniper cannon you use isn't romantic at all. Caliber is justice, caliber!"

Vini walked out of the room. She tilted her head to look at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and winked at him.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head back and gave Vini a look of canine disdain.

"Eh~"

Vini's hand on the door froze; she had been looked down upon by a 'Husky'.

"You were looking down on me just now, right? You definitely were."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang turned his dog head to the side, and that look clearly said: "I was looking down on you, so what?"

"Eh~"

Vini looked at Su Xiao, then looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"A cold, aloof man plus a Husky, what kind of combination is this? Incredible. By the way, my name is Vini."

Vini left the room. Although she was a bit unhappy about being looked down upon by a 'Husky', her goal had been achieved, which was to participate in the defense of the auction house.

At 9:00 PM, the Clown and the leader would come to attack the auction house. The specific method of attack could not be confirmed for the time being, but it could be ruled out that the other party would use thermal weapons for bombing.

The reason is very simple: if the two dared to use thermal weapons to bomb a densely populated city like Yorknew, they wouldn't live long. The Hunter Association, the V5 organization, and other departments would hunt them down, and by then, dying without a whole corpse would be the best outcome for the two.

There is a rule in the Hunter World: one cannot slaughter civilians on a large scale. Once the slaughter reaches a certain number, the V5 organization will be dispatched. This is a lesson that a contractor once paid for with blood.
