Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

Dark green wooden crates were being unloaded one after another. They were marked with special spray-painted stencils, indicating their contents: ammunition, weapons, medical supplies, and so on.

"This aid is a godsend, and it couldn’t have come at a better time."

"Please send my regards to Elder Tan when you return, Mr. Tan. The friendship between the Iron Sand Army and the Tan family will last forever."

The short-haired woman in a camouflage uniform smiled as she watched the supplies being unloaded crate by crate from the convoy. Several high-ranking officers of the Iron Sand Army stood by her side.

Hearing this, Tan Yue, dressed in a black wool coat, frowned in displeasure. "Is that so? Then why haven’t I seen the general this time?"

His words carried a hidden meaning. Behind him stood several trusted security officers from the Jinggang Chamber of Commerce.

He always made an appearance during previous aid deliveries.

But this time...

"The general was injured."

The smile vanished from her face. The short-haired woman in the camouflage uniform explained, "The agents from the Special Investigation Team are extremely strong, and they joined forces with the City Guard Army."

"If the Beast Tide hadn’t broken out and intervened in the conflict, I’m afraid the outcome would have been uncertain."

Oh?

As her words fell, Tan Yue grew pensive.

Immediately after, as if reading his mind, the short-haired woman’s smile returned. "However, even though the general is in seclusion to heal, he left instructions."

"He specifically sent Di Xiong and Will to set up an ambush near Nanyun Mountain to help you deal with that Superpower Team leader."

At these words, the expressions of the Jinggang Chamber of Commerce’s senior security officers tensed.

Di Xiong and Will?

Rumor has it that when those two team up, they can even hold their own against an Exploration Level expert.

With them handling the problem, there shouldn’t be any issues.

It’s just...

"What a pity."

Tan Yue frowned slightly, a flicker of resentment in his eyes.

He had thought he could participate personally, but it turned out the Patriarch’s so-called "support" had a different meaning, and the Iron Sand Army had acted faster than he expected.

Their cooperation certainly showed sincerity.

Still, he felt a tinge of regret.

Because he didn’t get to see that little bastard named Lu trampled to death with his own eyes.

...

"The Iron Sand Army..."

Under the cover of night, a light breeze kicked up sand and dust.

The scrawny Di Xiong’s eyes were wide as he lay on his back on the ground, completely lifeless.

Lu Chao slowly stood up, a cold glint in his eyes.

The reason he and Will had appeared here was on the orders of the Iron Sand Army’s leader.

Iron Sand Gwight.

A Transcendence Level expert with a Life Energy of over two hundred and forty.

’It’s retaliation for me killing Ma Biao.’

However...

"The Tan family..."

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, having pieced together some of the key details.

There was no way a warlord could have known he had left the city so quickly and arranged an ambush.

There was only one explanation.

Instantly, the murderous intent in his heart and his plan became clearer. He turned his head to look at the distant night sky in the direction of Red Maple Shelter City.

The night wind blew in gusts, carrying a chill.

The roars of beasts echoed intermittently across the wasteland. The earlier commotion seemed to have alarmed some nearby Mutant Beast packs, and the scent of blood in the air would likely attract them.

But he didn’t leave right away.

Lu Chao stared in the direction of Red Maple Shelter City, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

’I know that once I make a move, it has to be with the force of a thunderbolt, leaving no loose ends.’

Therefore, he tore his gaze away and glanced at the nearby Nanyun Mountain.

The tattered hide map unconsciously surfaced in his mind. The old-world ruins it described were right here, suspected to be a military base.

Rumor had it that the great warlords of the past had managed to dominate the wasteland precisely because they controlled such military fortresses.

Not only did they inherit old-world armories, but they also gained easily defensible strongholds.

Without a doubt, if he could explore Nanyun Mountain, familiarize himself with the military base within, and take control of it...

Then even if his killing of Ruan Hui was exposed one day, leading to a worldwide manhunt by the Biotechnology Company, and even if he was wanted by Red Maple Shelter City for retaliating against the Tan family, he would still have a safe place to hide.

This was precisely why he had deliberately sent Gao Hu and the others away after discovering this was Nanyun Mountain.

Having made up his mind, Lu Chao gradually calmed the storm of thoughts in his head.

Not rushing to act immediately, he first spent a moment searching the bodies of Di Xiong and Will.

The former was completely bare; he had nothing.

The latter, however, had a black card on him.

"Oh?"

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, took out the card, and flipped it over.

The card was solid black, but the words "Black Crystal Bank" jumped out at him.

"It’s actually an anonymous black card."

By now, he was no longer the same ordinary young man who knew nothing of the world.

The Black Crystal Bank was the most unique of the Five Major Enterprises, as it focused exclusively on banking and finance.

Its anonymous savings accounts, in particular, were famous throughout Earth Star.

No matter one’s identity—be it a wanted criminal or a Dark Web assassin—anyone could open an account, deposit funds, and use it freely.

Thinking of this, Lu Chao pocketed the black card.

’Although I don’t know how many Alliance Coins are on deposit, I figure it has to be at least a few million.’

Moreover, he looked at the bodies of Di Xiong and Will.

As commanders of a warlord army, there were naturally bounties on their heads at the Superpower Bureau.

’This will undoubtedly earn me a large number of contribution points, which I can exchange for energy mineral essence and Essence of Qi. It might even raise my clearance level on the internal network by another tier, giving me a chance to obtain the Superpower Knowledge of a Biological Alchemist.’
