Chapter 671

On the first floor of the hotel, the three National Football brothers huddled together. The entire first floor looked as if it had been swept by a tornado.

The eldest National Football brother held a dark purple treasure chest. The three brothers weren't against killing; when their lives were threatened, they would also kill their enemies without that kind of pedantic sense of justice.

As long as the three brothers believed that what they were doing was right, they would go all out. They simply didn't slaughter the innocent indiscriminately.

In the eldest brother's hand was Phinks's treasure chest. The yellow-haired man Phinks had died very indignantly, beaten to death by these three clowns; the hammer-stun effect was no mere decoration.

"Sure enough, the hammer is justice, cough, cough..."

The eldest brother coughed up blood, his chest severely collapsed. The second brother used his remaining mana to heal him.

"Heal the third brother first; he's more severely injured."

At this moment, the third brother had lost an arm and a leg and was covered in welts, having been injured by Machi.

"Big brother... I saw an angel."

The third brother's pupils were somewhat dilated, which terrified the eldest and second brothers.

The second brother slapped the third brother across the face, back and forth. After a few heavy slaps, the third brother's gaze actually cleared up a bit.

"Saw an angel, my foot. You've lost too much blood and are hallucinating. Second brother, stop slapping; the third brother is rolling his eyes."

"Oh? Oh."

The eldest and second brothers began to heal the third. A few minutes later, the third brother's vital signs stabilized, and he slowly woke up from his near-comatose state.

"Second brother, I just saw an angel, but that angel sister slapped me across the face. It hurts so much. Is it because I'm too ugly?"

Tears welled up in the honest third brother's eyes as he recalled that "angel."

"That angel was so beautiful, but her hands were a bit rough. Second brother, is my face swollen?"

The third brother gently stroked his face, which had swollen into a pig's head, his expression filled with a faint sadness.

Hearing the third brother's words, the second brother silently looked at his own calloused hands.

"Maybe... the angel was in a bad mood. Third brother, don't think about it. Surviving a great disaster brings future blessings."

The eldest brother turned his head away; he didn't dare look at the third brother. The third brother's appearance was truly too funny, and he wanted to laugh because the three brothers had survived.

Just then, footsteps approached, and Su Xiao, holding the Zhan Long Shan, walked down the stairs.

"The Clown..."

The three brothers watched Su Xiao. Although they already had the answer in their hearts, they couldn't help but ask.

"Dead."

Receiving a clear answer, the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't lower their guard. The Clown was dead, and the team's common goal had vanished. Internal strife wasn't impossible; as the saying goes, one must always be on guard against others.

"Although the Clown is dead, the Nilapan tribe's offensive shouldn't stop. Ultimately, the Clown only orchestrated all of this. We've killed many Nilapan, and they won't give up easily. However, the Clown's threat has been removed; the thorn in our throat has been pulled out."

The eldest brother sighed. Although the three brothers were clowns, they had analyzed the gist of the situation.

"Correct."

Su Xiao walked toward the auction house. The second brother carried the third on his back, and they headed toward the auction house with Su Xiao. Given the current situation, the possibility of internal strife within the team was low.

The three brothers didn't ask where the fangirl had gone. Since she hadn't appeared by now, the chance of her survival was slim. Perhaps she had left after the Clown died? Perhaps. The eldest brother glanced at the hotel behind them.

At this moment, Nilapan might appear on the streets, and in their current state, the four of them clearly couldn't go head-to-head with the Nilapan tribe.

There was one thing Su Xiao was puzzled about: where had the Nilapan gone when they attacked the hotel?

After walking for a few minutes, Su Xiao discovered that there were no Nilapan on the streets. Just as he was closing in on the auction house, a sneaky figure appeared.

"Who!"

The second brother held his energy hammer, looking vigilantly into the darkness, where a pair of eyes existed.

"Did it go smoothly?"

Su Xiao looked into the darkness, his expression relaxed.

Xiang Bubu Wang walked out of the darkness, covered in blue blood.

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang barked, his expression filled with sadness, nodding and then shaking his head, which left Su Xiao puzzled.

Xiang Bubu Wang had too much to express, and even Su Xiao couldn't sort it out for a moment. A few minutes later, he finally understood what Xiang Bubu Wang meant.

"In other words, a woman charged into the Nilapan tribe, and then you left during the chaos?"

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang nodded, his expression clearly saying, "I was scared to death; that woman was incredibly strong."

"It seems the news here has already spread. It should be the gang members from the auction house."

Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on. The number of Nilapan was too high. Although the area around the auction house was sparsely populated now, the Nilapan came from the Dark Continent, where the law of the jungle reigned supreme, so the Nilapan couldn't possibly follow the rules after arriving in Yorknew City.

Once the Nilapan showed signs of expanding outward, it wouldn't be a struggle between factions, but a racial invasion. The V5 organization wouldn't sit idly by.

The Chimera Ants in the original work were stronger than the Nilapan, but the Hunter Association alone had dealt with them. The fate of the Nilapan now was easy to imagine.

"In other words, the Nilapan tribe no longer poses a threat?"

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang wagged his tail; this guy was just a bit startled and hadn't been injured.

Su Xiao walked out of the alley and headed toward the auction house in plain sight, with Xiang Bubu Wang trotting along behind him.

The three brothers looked at each other.

"Big brother, are we going back to the auction house?"

"Why go back? He won't allow the main quest to fail. As long as the auction house isn't destroyed, we can find an opportunity to participate later. We're injured now, and those contractors in the auction house are no pushovers."

The three brothers decided not to return to the auction house and to observe from nearby for the time being.

"Brother Tough Guy."

The eldest brother shouted, and Su Xiao turned to look at the three.

"Until we meet again." x3

The three brothers joined forces to strike their unique formation.

"En."

Su Xiao continued toward the auction house. A few minutes later, he arrived in the vicinity.

A faint smell of blood wafted over. The corpses of the Nilapan on the street had already been cleared, and the gang leaders of the Ten Dons were negotiating something with people wearing hazmat suits.

The attitude of those gang members was very polite—no, it should be said that it was already somewhat fawning.

Ignoring the gang members and the people from the unknown faction, Su Xiao quietly entered the auction house, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Where are you?"

"At... at the auction house. Mr. Bai Ye, how are you?"

"Come to the first floor."

After a short while, Black Mary ran to the first floor in her high heels. Su Xiao walked quickly toward her, grabbed her arm, and led her into an empty room.

"Wait, wait a moment, that, so many people are watching."

Black Mary's face flushed, her steps hesitant, but no matter how one looked at it, there was a sense of "refusing to welcome."

Su Xiao pointed to the wound on his chest, and Black Mary suddenly realized, her face turning even redder.

Inside the room, a black rose floated beside Su Xiao, its petals falling one by one. When only two petals remained, Su Xiao's injuries had basically recovered. Although he hadn't been lightly injured this time, he hadn't suffered any injuries like severed limbs.

The most troublesome thing in his body was the potent poison on the leader's dagger; that thing needed to be slowly devoured by the Green Steel Shadow energy.

Because of the intervention of the unknown faction, the contractors in the auction house had already disappeared. After his injuries recovered, Su Xiao left the auction house immediately with Black Mary and Xiang Bubu Wang.

The night was deep. Su Xiao stood on the roof of a building far from the auction house, observing for a long time before putting down his binoculars.

Fortunately, he had left in time; otherwise, the subsequent matters would have been very troublesome.

The next morning, the auction house returned to normal operation. This was a condition Su Xiao and Bick, one of the Ten Dons, had agreed upon beforehand.

In a luxury hotel room, Su Xiao looked at the 20 Soul Crystals (Medium) on the tray in front of him. This was the payment Bick had provided. The Phantom Troupe had been almost wiped out by Su Xiao, and Bick didn't dare not pay, even if he was now a small leader in the V5 organization.

Su Xiao had made Bick a small leader in the V5 organization, and naturally, he would find ways to control him.

With the Clown dead, the Nilapan tribe was destined to have no good end, or rather, they were never meant to have a good end.

The enemies that needed to be resolved had all been resolved. Su Xiao could do as he pleased for the remaining mission time. Unfortunately, due to mission restrictions, Su Xiao couldn't leave Yorknew City.

Just as Su Xiao was considering how to reap benefits in Yorknew City, a notification from Reincarnation Paradise suddenly appeared.

【Notification: It has been detected that all members of the Phantom Troupe (remaining 2) have left Yorknew City. The main quest has been defaulted as complete.】

【Because the main quest was forcibly changed, the mission reward is doubled.】

【Notification: The Hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise in five minutes.】
