At the QS Community, “Useless! I turned you both into Level 6 espers, and this is how you handle things?” Inside the room, Eamonn and Augustus bowed their heads, looking nervous. Faintly floating before them was a shadow, none other than Alexander.
At this moment, though Alexander’s face couldn’t be clearly seen, his aura of anger was like flames, attempting to consume both of them.
“Alexander… We, brothers, had no idea there was such a terrifying Evil Spirit Gold Beetle. Otherwise, our men sent over would have given that kid David a hard time,” Augustus stuttered, his voice trembling.
“Smack!” Before he could finish speaking, Alexander raised his hand and slapped him on the face. “Did you really think David is so easy to deal with? I asked you to send people to harass him, not to kill him. Who knew you couldn’t even handle such a small task? What use do I have for you both?” 𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺
Suddenly, Alexander’s shadow grew massive, towering before Eamonn and Augustus like a statue. The aura emanating from him made the surrounding air heavy. Even the wooden table on the side couldn’t bear the pressure and directly cracked into two with a “crack” sound.
This frightened Eamonn, and he hastily said in a low voice, “Alexander, please calm down! We won’t make such low-level mistakes again. Please give us another chance.” He even ignored his identity as the leader of the Killing God Gang and knelt directly before Alexander.
Eamonn understood that everything they had now was given by Alexander. Without him, they would still be the most despicable vermin in the apocalypse. He also knew the consequences of angering Alexander. Without exception, they would all end up as cold corpses in this world.
Seeing this, Augustus also knelt quickly, and Alexander lowered his head, sweeping a glance at the two before sighing.
“Fine, fine. You two are no match for David now, let alone your subordinates.” As he spoke, Alexander’s figure returned to normal, standing in front of Eamonn and Augustus.
“Eat this Blood Pill. It will help you become Level 7 espers. By then, you will have more capital to kill David.” As he said this, two crimson pills suddenly appeared before Eamonn and Augustus.
Blood Pill? The two were momentarily stunned, looking at the unremarkable pills. Alexander nodded.
“This is a pill I refined using the essence blood of a thousand zombies and a thousand mutants. Once you consume it, your levels will increase, and it can also conceal your level’s aura. I don’t want my subordinates to be low-level ants!” Alexander said with some dissatisfaction as he looked at the two.
“Hurry up and take it. David’s next destination is the Northern Youth Apartment Complex. You two will personally go and find out his purpose. Remember, don’t let them discover your identity.” After dropping these words, Alexander disappeared on the spot.
Eamonn and Augustus then stood up, took the two Blood Pills, and exchanged a glance. They both nodded and swallowed them. As the Blood Pills entered their throats, a strong smell of rotten flesh and blood immediately permeated the air. It was as if they were surrounded by countless already-decomposed corpses.
Eamonn frowned and endured the discomfort. He knew that whatever Alexander gave them would surely help improve their strength, which was what they most wanted to pursue now. After a moment, the rotten smell gradually dissipated. As the Blood Pills fully melted within them, their levels increased to Level 7.
“Boss! Are we Level 7 espers now? This is incredible!” Augustus felt a restless power surging within him. With a wave of his hand, a thick mist shot out, causing a potted daffodil in the room to wither instantly.
This excited Augustus to the core. He hadn’t expected leveling up to be such an easy task. Eamonn also sensed the surge of power, but he didn’t show the same excitement as Augustus. Now, he was becoming more and more curious about who David really was, as even the terrifying Alexander always had him on his mind. Alexander even spared no expense to nurture them, just to defeat David. After contemplating for a while, Eamonn shook his head in bewilderment. He believed the true answer would only be revealed when they met David in person.
In the desolate courtyard, Alexander appeared once again. Two high-level zombies were chained at the entrance, gnawing on the head of a survivor. If one were to observe these two high-level zombies carefully, they would notice that their rotten flesh had started to smoothen, and even the putrid smell was fading away. Their eating motions were no longer as savage as before.
Alexander looked at them with a slight curve on his lips. Just as he was about to step into the courtyard, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of his eye. The figure stood under a large tree not far from him, staring intently at him.
“Oh? A guest? And a familiar one at that,” Alexander turned around, smiling at the unexpected visitor. Alexander called him a familiar guest because Alexander knew this person too well.
At this moment, Abraham stared at the ethereal shadow before him, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. In this instant, he seemed to have seen through the true appearance of this shadow. Then, he immediately showed a look of realization and pointed at Alexander with disbelief, “You… you are…”
Before Abraham could finish, Alexander sneered and shook his head, saying, “Old fool, you shouldn’t have come here. But since you’re here, don’t think about leaving again.” He chuckled, and a hint of icy light flashed in his eyes. His eyes turned extremely crimson, like a devil from hell. He fixedly stared at Abraham, his brows furrowing.
Abraham’s body exploded instantly on the spot, with flesh and blood flying in mid-air. The fresh smell of blood also attracted the attention of the two zombies, who abandoned the skull in their hands and rushed toward Abraham’s body.
“Hehe, didn’t expect to have food delivered right to my door. Unfortunately, you could have lived two more years in the apocalypse if you didn’t come.” Alexander’s eyes returned to normal, and he casually rubbed the ring-shaped jade pendant at his waist with his right hand, a faint smile on his face. He didn’t even bother to glance at Abraham’s body, confidently striding into the wasteland.
Soon, Alexander’s figure disappeared into the vast and desolate world…
