Chapter 860

On the east side of the small town, inside the courtyard of a mansion.

The courtyard was shaded by green trees, with a fountain pool in the center.

Several pit bulls barked wildly. They were tied up with very thick iron chains. Although they were not as imposing as large dog breeds, they were exceptionally fierce, especially since the smell of blood in the courtyard was stimulating them.

Su Xiao stood in front of the fountain pool, washing off the bloodstains on his body. His location was Bagu's residence. Coming here had nothing to do with the mission; he had already successfully broken through his physical limits.

His main purpose for coming here was to find out why the physical fitness of those guards was so strong, capable of exceeding the limits of a normal person.

After washing the blood off his body, Su Xiao felt annoyed by the wild barking of the pit bulls.

"Shut up."

Su Xiao turned his head to look at the pit bulls. However, pit bulls are an artificially bred dog breed with severe genetic defects. The large amount of adrenaline secreted allows them to ignore pain for a short time and overcome their fear of other creatures.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

Su Xiao shook his head. Why bother with a few genetically defective dogs? He turned and walked toward the villa at the back of the courtyard.

Crack.

The leather strap on one pit bull's neck snapped. The pit bull charged at Su Xiao without hesitation.

Five meters, three meters, two meters.

Suddenly, the aggressive pit bull stopped, tucked its tail, and turned to run. A pale red aura enveloped it; this was no longer something that could be overcome by conquering fear.

【Warning: Hunter, please do not use visible passive abilities in the real world. This is your first warning.】

Receiving the warning from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao was quite surprised. He had just used the passive effect of "Aura Release," which causes enemies to fall into a state of panic.

When he used blade flashes, Reincarnation Paradise didn't give a prompt, but this time, using Aura Release, he actually received a warning. Perhaps it was because Aura Release is a hybrid active/passive skill?

Although somewhat puzzled, Su Xiao did not delve into it. He had already roughly figured out several abilities that could be used in the real world.

Moreover, in the real world where equipment and active skills cannot be used, Su Xiao, who develops all four attributes simultaneously, is very strong—stronger than he himself imagined.

Su Xiao's accumulation of attributes is very different from other Qiyuezhe. Most Qiyuezhe accumulate attributes through attribute points + equipment. Attribute points account for a larger share, and equipment a smaller one. For example, with 50 points of attributes, about 35–40 points are permanent attributes added by attribute points, and the rest are temporary attributes added by equipment. Temporary attributes are ineffective in the real world!

Su Xiao is different. He relies almost entirely on permanent attributes accumulated through attribute points. Equipment-added attributes are very, very few. Most of the equipment he chooses tends toward passive functional abilities.

The reason for this is that Su Xiao is trying his best to avoid one thing: using equipment as his primary means of combat instead of himself.

Although equipment is an important part of the power system, it carries certain risks, such as damage, suppression, interference by enemy abilities, etc. There are too many unstable factors.

Just as Su Xiao was pondering about attributes and equipment, he pushed open the main door of the villa, and a gun was already pointed at him.

"Don't move."

Zzz—

A faint light flashed. A sharp, thin steel wire was stained red with blood, and droplets of blood drifted in the air.

"Ah!"

A butler in a suit screamed, clutching his severed arm and leaning against the wall. Blood stained the pristine white wall red. Due to the severe pain and rapid blood loss, the butler's face and lips quickly turned pale.

"Where is the study?"

Su Xiao stood in front of the butler, a short blade flipping in his hand.

"Upstairs, third floor, turn left."

The butler compromised with unusual crispness, feeling no pressure about betraying his boss, Bagu.

"Take me there. Who else is in the villa?"

A painkiller slid out of Su Xiao's sleeve. Under the butler's terrified gaze, he stabbed the syringe into the man's neck.

After the injection, the butler's mind cleared slightly. He immediately took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around the wound on his severed arm.

"There are a few guards and Bagu's mistress in the villa. Is Bagu dead?"

"Dead."

"Great!"

The butler's face showed wild joy. Su Xiao was stunned, then thought of something.

"Take me to Bagu's study, now."

The butler lowered his head and walked quickly upstairs. In his eyes, something called ambition appeared.

On the way upstairs, the butler said, "Sir, I can transfer all of Bagu's assets to you. Spare my life, and I will work for you."

"Sure."

Su Xiao smiled. Seeing this, the butler felt relieved, but he didn't know that when Su Xiao smiled, it was usually not a good thing.

Under the butler's guidance, Su Xiao soon arrived in front of Bagu's study.

"This is Bagu's study. As for Bagu's assets, I will transfer his liquid funds right now..."

Before the butler could finish his sentence, Su Xiao slit his throat with a blade.

Pfft.

Blood sprayed. The butler used his only remaining arm to cover his throat, blood gushing from between his fingers.

"Why..."

With a thud, the butler fell to the ground.

"Why? Stupid question."

After saying this, Su Xiao pushed open the door to the study. Initially, he hadn't intended to kill the man; he was just a butler, after all. But the man's excited expression upon learning of Bagu's death made Su Xiao vigilant.

The reason the butler showed that expression had two meanings: first, to express to Su Xiao that he was not loyal to Bagu, and second, that the butler had the potential to take over Bagu's power.

As for obtaining Bagu's assets—don't joke. Bagu was a drug lord; countless people were eyeing his assets. Su Xiao's identity in the country was legitimate, and he didn't want his domestic identity to become sensitive because of this money.

If the butler might have had a chance to live before, after his various displays, he had to die.

Su Xiao had previously cut off one of the man's arms. If the man became the second Bagu, there would be endless trouble in the future. Most people don't easily forget the grudge of a severed arm. Rather than gambling on the man's magnanimity, Su Xiao chose a more direct method.

This is the danger level of the small town: one wrong choice can lead to a series of troublesome matters.

Walking into Bagu's study, Su Xiao began to rummage through cabinets and drawers. Soon, he found several documents.

Sitting in the leather chair, Su Xiao flipped through the documents in his hand.

"So that's it."

Su Xiao put the documents away. He now understood how those guards managed to exceed the limits of ordinary people.

The Qiyuezhe Su Xiao had encountered in the basement was originally a top chemistry student who later entered Reincarnation Paradise.

However, because he suddenly gained supernatural power, the student became arrogant. Arrogance itself was nothing, but encountering a down-and-out drug lord while arrogant was a very unlucky thing. That drug lord was Bagu.

After discovering the student's secret, Bagu immediately gathered his few remaining subordinates, wanting to control him. No one doesn't crave extraordinary power.
