I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 511 - 362: Drawing Trouble Eastward

Chen Lun strolled along the streets of the town.

Feeling the peaceful and lively atmosphere, he smiled knowingly.

Before he realized it, he had arrived at the square area.

There were many small vendors, most of whom were residents bankrupted by the Red Calamity, who had started small businesses to make a living after the town was peaceful again.

The most popular was a commercial carriage, which had attracted many people around it.

A man in a top hat stood by the carriage, negotiating with a few mine owners, apparently purchasing a local specialty stone. Four or five assistants were directing workers to neatly stack large wooden crates filled with rough green stones on the vacant lot nearby.

Chen Lun pulled his hat lower, leaning on his silver staff while standing afar, silently observing the scene.

He cast Peek Life on the top-hat businessman, and the next second, the information appeared on his panel.

'[Conspiracy Faction Sequence Eight - Locksmith], a member of the Rothfuss Family.'

Chen Lun chuckled softly.

This was the intelligence he had gathered after spending several hours since his arrival in the town.

The remnants of the Rothfuss Family, hiding their identities in this place, posing as a small business association specializing in purchasing local cheap stones… they claim to cut and finely process the stones to sell as inexpensive jewelry.

In reality, they were just a cover to evade the pursuit of the Generous Council.

At the same time, it was also to avoid official liquidation.

The conflict between the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club had concluded, and they no longer had the capital to "live in the sunlight," but had become the "main culprits" behind many mysterious harmful incidents caused by the former Mutual Aid Society.

Unlike the club, which became the "Generous Council" and secured a seat among the Seven Righteous God Churches, this perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be "victorious lords, defeated outlaws."

The fallen were despised by all, nothing more than that.

Chen Lun had no sympathy for them, and even wanted to make his move right then.

But he held back.

A wise hunter always has patience.

Another two hours passed.

The Rothfuss Family member responsible for purchasing the stones handed over the task to his hired men and then boarded the carriage, departing from one side of the square.

Chen Lun altered his appearance to that of an ordinary gentleman and followed behind the carriage.

During this process, he noticed that the Rothfuss family member left the carriage halfway and used his [Locksmith] abilities to shuttle through the carriage windows and vanished through a residential window by the roadside.

Chen Lun stopped in his tracks, watching the carriage go away, while he approached the inconspicuous residence.

There were many pedestrians around, but no one noticed any of this.

Outside the wall of the house, he snapped his fingers, and a small white snake formed from his index finger crawled through the window and into the inside. Chen Lun, sharing the senses of the small white snake through Five Senses Perception, saw the scene inside clearly.

He saw the top-hat businessman climb to the second floor and set up a prayer ritual in a room, then he took out a black ritual short dagger and sliced open the space.

'So the real stronghold is hidden in a corner of the Spirit World, similar to the cemetery Mr. Bales often frequents… This town is just their outdoor activity area,' Chen Lun thought, standing outside the wall dozens of meters away.

Just as the top-hat businessman was about to step into the pitch-black space, the small white snake on the floor leapt up, silently burrowing into the back of his neck.

The man was completely unaware as he carried the snake parasite into his own stronghold.

Chen Lun's mouth curled into a smile as he leaned against the wall to vigilantly monitor the situation.

But just then, he felt his Spiritual Intuition alerting him to an unknown danger approaching...

"Hmm?"

Chen Lun slightly frowned.

'The Rothfuss family still conceals their strength? No... it shouldn't be them.'

He observed through Serpent Parasitism while pulling out a deck of cards to perform Divination, detecting the source of danger.

Spirit World.

A hidden corner.

In a pitch-dark cave.

Two men dressed in black cloaks sat on wooden chairs, with a small fire lit in front of them, surrounded by seven or eight Mid Sequence family members.

"Lord Sorin, Lord Moxis..."

The top-hatted merchant walked up to the two men and respectfully bowed.

"What's the situation in the mortal world?"

The middle-aged man on the left asked in a deep voice.

"All quiet for now... The Generous Council is busy holding meetings and gradually getting involved in sitting positions all over the Empire. The Shelter is joining forces with the Transcendents in the wild to attack the Red Calamity Area. They have no time to care about us, but the Sun Church has already taken control of the entire Gem State, and it's now very easy for us to be discovered,"

the top-hatted merchant replied, removing his hat and speaking with his head lowered.

The old man on the right coughed twice, caught his breath, and then instructed:

"We still need to be more cautious. The family's power is already exhausted in this Sequence struggle, with only the remaining six Saints going toward the end of darkness, leaving us few hands to act in the mortal world... If an accident happens, the Rothfuss family will completely lose intelligence sources in the mortal world, which is very passive."

"Yes, Lord Moxis,"

the top-hatted merchant solemnly responded.

"No, wait!"

The elder named Moxis suddenly stood up, his expression changing slightly.

Quickly sensing the anomaly, the middle-aged man, Sorin, immediately waved his hand, turning the pitch-black shadows on the ground into mire that instantly enveloped the top-hatted merchant, capturing him like a giant hand had seized him and pulled him forward.

"The two lords?!"

The top-hatted merchant was terrified, not understanding why the family's high-ups had suddenly attacked him.

Sorin and Moxis's expressions were somber.

Suddenly, the shadow mire surged up in one part, forming a short dagger that plunged toward the back of the top-hatted merchant's neck, instantly bringing him the suffocating sensation of death, causing the Low Sequence transcendent of the Rothfuss family to scream out loud.

"Ah—"

But the next second, accompanied by the hissing of snakes, a bunch of white snakes burst from his head, blocking the shadow dagger's attack with a clanging sound.

"You damned waste! You didn't even realize you were parasitized by an outsider!"

Sorin bellowed in anger.

The shadow dagger suddenly exploded, transforming into dozens of black threads that wrapped around the snake cluster, quickly tightening. With a few crunching sounds, the snakes were all severed, and the top-hatted merchant fell to the ground with a thud, crawling and trembling violently.

He finally realized the enormity of the trouble he had caused!

However, no matter how much he recalled, he couldn't remember when he had been ambushed by the unfamiliar transcendent, but now that it had happened, it meant the family's secret base had been exposed!

"All family members, act immediately. The strange transcendent can't be too far away. Find him and kill him! We must not let him leak any information!"

the elder Moxis said in a stern voice.

"Yes!"

Seven or eight Mid Sequence Transcendents standing to one side responded in unison.

Boom!!

The civilian house suddenly exploded, and ten shadows darted through the doorway, tightly surrounding Chen Lun, who leaned against the wall.

The pedestrians nearby screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.

The guards patrolling the streets couldn't help but shudder, and after seeing this scene, they repeatedly stepped back, blowing their whistles, thinking that they must report this incident immediately.

Transcendents!

This is chaos caused by Transcendents!

"Who are you?"

Sorin floated above Chen Lun's head and asked coldly.

His cloak fluttered loudly, and a shadow fell from it, dragging on the ground like a long curtain. Beside him stood the elder, Moxis.

"Both of Your Majesties must be the only remaining Incarnations of the Saint of the Rothfuss Family…"

Chen Lun slightly raised his head, displaying a polite smile on his face.

His gaze swept around. On the walls and beside him stood eight members of the Rothfuss Family, all Mid Sequence Transcendents. According to the list given to him by the Speaker, most of the remnants' combat power was here.

"I am a Golden Cup Member of the Generous Council, Tapiya."

Chen Lun's face was transformed by illusion, and the other party did not recognize him, so he casually mentioned a competitor's name.

"Flies of the Murder Club..."

Sorin looked down at him coldly and waved his hand.

"Die!"

All Rothfuss Family members immediately attacked together. The shadow directly enveloped the area, as if night had fallen.

Chen Lun feigned a bit of panic and suddenly turned to flee.

Narrowly dodging several slashes from shadow scythes, he sent the collapsing cobblestone from the walls flying, and ran towards the distance.

Sorin coughed twice, cursed his damned injury, and then vanished from the spot, entering the invisible to chase after Chen Lun. Another Incarnation of the Saint, as well as other members of the Rothfuss Family, also chased after him.

On a street in Huaqing Town.

Ryan and Tapiya were leisurely strolling when they passed an alley, the air stirred, and Gewas emerged, laughing lightly at the two.

"Things are going smoothly. I personally went to Fossil City and delivered the secret letter to the Sun Church... It won't be long before a split body of the Light from His Majesty Terence will descend through the 'Daytime Obelisk'."

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette, handed one to Tapiya, and then lit one for himself.

"This is already the second afternoon of the assessment. Jack, as a Transcendent from the Path of Destiny, has likely already arrived in this town... But he probably has no idea that what awaits him is not just two crippled Incarnations of the Saint from the Rothfuss Family."

Tapiya exhaled a puff of smoke, giving a faint smile.

Lady Ryan raised her hand to fan away the smoke, frowning slightly, and complained:

"You two are really not gentlemanly enough."

"Sorry."

Gewas and Tapiya shrugged but did not seem to plan on extinguishing their cigarettes.

"Jack is in for a big surprise."

Upon seeing this, Lady Ryan rolled her eyes and calmly remarked.

The two gentlemen exchanged a smile.

At that moment,

All three of them sensed something and simultaneously turned their heads, looking towards the end of the street.

Countless pedestrians were fleeing in panic and shouting as if something frightening was chasing them.

"What happened?"

Tapiya frowned.

The other two shook their heads.

Soon, they saw a strange man running towards them, waving his hand and shouting:

"Senator Gewas! Senator Ryan! Come help me!"

"?!"

The three of them didn't recognize the man, but he was shouting their names.

Eight dark shadows spread from the end of the street and formed human shapes surrounding them, while at the same time, two men with exceptionally strong auras suddenly appeared behind them and attacked expressionlessly.

"Generous Council! All of you must die!"

A cold voice came.

Gewas, Ryan, and Tapiya finally snapped out of their daze, their expressions twisted, unleashing their own Supernatural Powers.

Rothfuss Family!

Incarnations of the Saint!

And that strange man...

Jack Spett!

They instantly linked everything together and understood what was really happening.

"Damn it, Jack! Deliberately leading the enemy towards us!"

Boom!!

Amidst a severe explosion, accompanied by a metallic clanging sound.

Tapiya flew backwards first, spitting out blood, unable to transform into a shadow in time to avoid injury, and smashed several tables and chairs by the roadside.

Gewas and Ryan didn't fare much better, attacked by the Incarnation of the Saint; they, too, were injured upon contact and thrown to the ground.

The three heard the disguised Jack, who emotionally shouted:

"Senator Gewas! Senator Ryan! Pull yourselves together! We can definitely eradicate the trash of the Rothfuss Family! For the Council! For honor! Oli give!"

Aside from the last sentence which they completely didn't understand, everything else was very clear.

This guy!

Deliberately fanning the flames here!

Truly damn it!

The three were nearly enraged to the point of vomiting blood, but the attacks from the Incarnation of the Saint gave them no time to catch their breath, striking once again!
