523 Mr. Jane (1)
Night fell on Planet Jishui.
Xu Jingming sat on the balcony of his residence and gazed at the two dim satellites in the night sky. With a glance, he could see the lives of the billions of lives on the planet.
There are too many things in the world that can’t be done. He wasn’t in a good mood. Although he had killed three Hellion Origin lifeforms during their first wave of plundering during the day, all the humans on the habitable planet were wiped out.
Similar disasters often happened at the border.
!!
The cosmic human race had once angrily charged into the territory of the Hellions and attacked in revenge. But… the Hellions didn’t care about the lives of living beings below an Origin lifeform. Even without a human attack, the Hellions were constantly in-fighting the moment they were born.
The number of deaths caused by the human attack was far smaller than the deaths from their in-fighting. The numerous deaths were made up with nests of eggs.
As long as the core Origin lifeforms of the Hellions and the Paramount existence remained alive, the entire species would have a strong footing. It couldn’t be shaken at all.
The Hellions don’t care about the bottom classes. In fact, even among humans, there are many Origin lifeforms who don’t care much about planetary lifeforms. Xu Jingming felt a chill in his heart—it was a sorrow he felt for countless weak people.
This sorrow was powerless. He couldn’t effect any changes!
A large number of human planets were implicated on the border with the Hellions and the Void Celestials. When would this ‘fate’ end?
Perhaps humans need an even stronger Paramount! Perhaps the strongest Paramount in the universe can change all of this. Xu Jingming looked at the night sky and thought to himself, Humans ultimately need pursuits in life. Perhaps I can aim higher.
A strong desire grew in Xu Jingming’s heart, but he only buried it in his heart and silently let it brew.
Huh? Xu Jingming saw a youth being attacked by two assassins in a corner on a nearby street.
It’s the most talented youth in Four Seasons Sword Gallery. His name is Qiu Qingke? Xu Jingming knew the other party; he had encountered this youth on his first day at Planet Jishui. With his observation skills, he naturally discovered the true genius of Four Seasons Sword Gallery.
Huh? He was still at the limit of Lv. 4 yesterday, but he broke through to Lv. 5 today? Unfortunately, he’s still no match for technology.
Xu Jingming watched.
The two assassins came prepared and shot him from afar. They then grabbed him at close range.
In a dark corner of the street.
Qiu Qingke couldn’t move after being shot. When the two assassins came close, they quickly restrained him with electronic handcuffs and shackles.
“I’ve already fulfilled my end of the contract and fought 12 matches for Boss. I’m free.” Qiu Qingke stared at the two assassins. He knew these two people—they worked for the Boss.
“You actually believe in contracts?” One of the cold assassins scoffed.
“The contract is just a piece of scrap paper. Let’s go. Boss has other plans for you.” Another assassin held Qiu Qingke and said, “Don’t worry. You broke through to Lv. 5 today. Boss loves money; he will make you one of us!”
Qiu Qingke’s eyes were filled with despair. Ever since he revealed his talent, he was controlled by dark forces and became incapable of escape.
Suddenly—
In a street not far away, a man walked over and headed straight for the dark corner.
Huh? The two assassins vaguely felt that something was amiss, but they suddenly collapsed silently.
Qiu Qingke was stunned when he saw that it was the unfamiliar middle-aged man who often ate at the restaurant.
“Uncle.” Qiu Qingke was a little stunned.
“Young man, how did you end up like this?” The person extended his hand, and the electronic handcuffs and shackles broke.
“Thank you, Uncle. These two people are members of the Chaluo Group, a large criminal organization. You need to leave, now,” Qiu Qingke said nervously.
“Chaluo Group?” Xu Jingming looked surprised. “A young man like you is at odds with such a powerful criminal organization?”
“It couldn’t be helped; I was captured and made to fight underground fights for them. What could I do?” Qiu Qingke was helpless. “The Chaluo Group is targeting me, and I don’t even know where to hide. I broke through to Lv. 5 today, and Lv. 5 is when I get groomed by the officials. Yet, they still had their sights on me.”
“Very bold.” Xu Jingming nodded. “It’s not safe here. Let’s go; I’ll bring you to a safe place.”
Qiu Qingke trusted his savior very much.
Moreover, he couldn’t even struggle against the electronic shackles despite reaching Lv. 5. This man had easily broken the shackles, so he was probably a cosmic lifeform years ago.
Soon.
Xu Jingming brought Qiu Qingke to his residence.
“Safe place?” Qiu Qingke was stunned. “Here?”
“Don’t worry. It’s very safe here.” Xu Jingming poured a glass of fruit wine and handed it to him. “You just said that you reached Lv. 5. You’re very talented to have reached Lv. 5 at such a young age.”
“So what if I’m talented? Some criminal organizations on Planet Jishui flout the rules flagrantly. They have people in places to protect them.” Qiu Qingke shook his head helplessly. “I don’t even know what tomorrow holds for me.”
“It’s that chaotic?” Xu Jingming nodded.
“It’s very normal. I heard that a calamity will befall Planet Jishui every 10,000 years. Once the calamity arrives, the entire planet will be wiped out,” Qiu Qingke said. “Cosmic lifeforms usually have a lifespan of 3,000 years, so there’s a chance of them encountering a calamity. Perhaps with this in mind, they become even more greedy and crazy.”
