Chapter 575 So sudden!
Alice stored the Little Broken Stick in her storage ring, and then she also put away the Sword of Soulbreaker.
Glancing at the people nearby, she said to William, "Let's go."
She didn't want William to be so boring, always stirring up trouble, fearing that things wouldn't escalate enough.
Alice was well aware that her own strength was not particularly strong, so she tried to avoid trouble as much as possible.
William also nodded, then said to Dennis, "Let's go, you still owe me 50,000 energy crystals, right? Thinking of defaulting on your debt?"
At that moment, the Cepheus Guardian finally stood up.
The oppressive atmosphere instantly disappeared, and he stood up drenched in sweat, no longer daring to target Alice.
Damn, with that terrifying aura just now, how could he dare to make a move?
He thought that if he had reached the Absolute Deity level of strength, he probably wouldn't be afraid of this person.
His thoughts are really quite simple.
Hearing William's words, Dennis started to feel uneasy.
Damn, the situation just now was something he had never encountered before.
The ancient Dark Artifact was directly subdued, so what exactly is Alice's background?
Now he still wants to make a move on Alice?
Didn't he see the Cepheus Guardian kneeling directly to Alice?
Would a Creator Deity kneel for no reason?
That kneel!
It just shows that Alice's strength is not simple.
Even if she really is just at the Mortal Deity level, then the master behind her must be nearby.
That master is at least at the Absolute Deity level, possibly even a high-ranking god king.
This situation belongs to whoever wants to cause trouble will be courting death.
After much hesitation, Dennis finally showed a hint of resolve in his eyes and took out 20,000 energy crystals from his spatial storage ring.
"William, I only have these 20,000 energy crystals right now. Please accept them first. I owe you another 30,000 energy crystals, which I will have someone bring to you tomorrow." Dennis was no fool.
From what he observed at the scene, he concluded that William and Alice's backgrounds were truly intimidating.
He knew better than to provoke them and certainly wouldn't follow William out, planning not to leave the Sacred Gem Exchange any time soon.
"Short 30,000?" William looked at Jacob beside him and said, "We're not close. If you're going to owe, owe your friend. You can borrow from him; I won't have time to come over tomorrow."
He too noticed Dennis had suddenly become more cautious and shrewd.
Jacob's expression turned somewhat awkward.
After exchanging looks with Dennis, he finally said with a mournful face, "Dennis, you know my family isn't very wealthy. I just gave 10,000 energy crystals to my great-grandfather."
Hearing this, William immediately released Osric and Yorick from their constraints.
As soon as Osric and Yorick were freed, they appeared before their descendants, moving in unison.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
Each delivered a slap that sent Dennis and Jacob flying.
"Why all this nonsense when you could just pay now?"
"Debts must be repaid, a very simple principle! Hurry up and give it to him!"
Their evident desire to survive was shocking to everyone.
Dennis and Jacob were especially dumbfounded.
What was this all about?
Hadn't their two great-grandfathers hinted at causing trouble just a moment ago?
They said they would fully support them in making trouble?
From beginning to end, they hadn't seen them lift a finger, and unexpectedly, they ended up slapping them instead?
Regardless, these were their great-grandfathers, and they couldn't bring themselves to curse at them. They could only obediently gather together 51,500 energy crystals to give to William.
"These 1,500 energy crystals are yours, and these 50,000 energy crystals are mine!" William waved his hand unapologetically, collecting the 50,000 energy crystals into his spatial storage ring, leaving only 1,500 energy crystals for Alice.
Clear financial separation!
Alice didn't have any objections. This time, coming to the Sacred Gem Exchange, she earned back all 8,000 energy crystals. The stones she selected earlier using her clairvoyant ability were sold, earning her a lot of energy crystals.
Currently, she has 13,000 energy crystals on her, not only obtaining a Multi-eyed Golden Centipede but also acquiring a Little Broken Stick.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a huge profit.
William and Alice left the Sacred Gem Exchange with an air of confidence, leaving the strong ones who had come at the news unsure of what to do.
Should they attack and try to snatch the treasures?
That seemed a bit risky!
Moreover, this was happening on the street, under the watchful eyes of the Celestial Legion of Olympus soldiers filling the sky.
They dared not make a move to seize the treasures here.
William glanced back, noting they looked like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey, yet unsure of the prey's capabilities, hesitating to make a move.
"The opportunity has come," William said to Alice in a low voice, turning his head.
"???" Alice looked at William, puzzled.
Really?
What was he planning?
"Follow me. I'll take you to a good place," William winked at Alice.
"..." Alice's heart skipped a beat.
That was the last thing she wanted to hear from William now.
But with William saying that, she had no choice but to follow.
She braced herself silently.
The two leisurely left the city's safe zone, venturing into a dense jungle.
This was now an unsafe area!
In the Divine Realm, might makes right. Although the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods was strictly guarded, below the 20th district, fighting was not forbidden.
Outside the city's buildings, combat and skirmishes were considered normal.
When William and his group entered the dense forest, a group of people were fighting over the corpse of a divine beast thousands of feet away.
And those following William hid in the shadows, not retreating but also not daring to make a move.
Alice's lips curved up as she said, "They don't dare to act!"
"Is that so?" William smiled and said, "This time, use whatever weapons you want, show all the skills you have."
After speaking, he suddenly flew above Alice and loudly declared, "Alice, your master says he will no longer care for you from now on. He won't bother with your life or death anymore. You're on your own. The power of the sacred halo above your head is the last remembrance your master leaves you with."
Then, he vanished into thin air.
"..." Alice felt terrible.
The group didn't dare to act, not because she was strong, but more because they were wary of the powerful figure behind Alice.
Now, with William suddenly saying this and deliberately mentioning the power of the sacred halo, wasn't this a signal to everyone that they could freely snatch her powers and treasures?
Whether it was those following behind or others in the jungle fighting for different treasures, hearing about the power of the sacred halo, their consciousness swept in this direction.
At this moment, they could ascertain Alice's real strength.
It was impossible for Alice to pretend to be a stronger figure to intimidate others!
"Really?" The following Creator Deities were a bit puzzled, "So sudden?"
Something didn't feel right!
But someone had to test if it was true!
The power of the sacred halo, ancient Dark Artifacts, and also a divine weapon, yet this person was just a minor Mortal Deity abandoned by her master.
Such an opportunity was rare in ten thousand years.
The Creator Deities naturally wouldn't go directly,they were unsure if Alice had set a trap, but they had their ways.
"You two, capture that woman! If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely."
It was no big deal for the Creator Deity to order two subordinates to test the waters.
Those two had also seen Alice's strength at the Gem Exchange and knew acting rashly could likely lead to death.
But if they didn't act now, they would die right now.
Was there even a need to think about how to choose?
