GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2292: High Spy Investment.



Chapter 2292: High Spy Investment.

According to his investigation, Black Axe came to the conclusion that the thief was very greedy. This was because the thief was notorious for stealing and cheating others.

Black Axe thought that the thief’s greed would have increased now that he has become an epic thief, so he decided to approach the thief, instead of the traveler.

He had been doing his investigation and vetting his options ever since he spoke with White Cape. He would have wanted more time to acquire more information before making a decision. But now that the Golden Hammer gang seemed to be up to no good, he decided to make his move while he still could.

He had a spy sneak in through the recruitment operation. The spy was a rank 3 death walker and also a rank 3 assassin, so he was very powerful. The spy was also a beautiful lady.

Black Axe sent such an excellent candidate because he hoped that the spy would be able to get into the gang. He wanted to use the spy to contact the thief, and if that didn’t work out, use the spy to gain information about why eight epic godclads were working together.

He was investing a lot into this matter. Rarely do people send talented people as spies, because being a spy is dangerous work that can lead to death.

This danger is also why people rarely, if ever, send their own sisters as spies. But Black Axe did all of these because he believed that there was a lot to gain from it.

He believed that whatever it was that could compel eight epic godclads to work together would be beneficial to him. He also wanted someone he could trust and who wouldn’t betray him, which was why he sent his sister.

He also took proper care to protect his sister. He gave her many divine artifacts to keep herself safe, and he had me stand by in the territory of the Golden Hammer gang so that rescuing his sister would be more feasible and quick.

He himself was nearby, ready to swoop in to save his sister if need be. Even so, he was a nervous wreck as he waited for news.

Good news came when he found out that the spy had been accepted. More good news came when the spy was able to use her beauty to ask the thief out to a meal.

The thief left his base to have dinner with the spy. The place they went to for dinner was in the territory of the Golden Hammer gang in the outer city, so it was safe.

The thief refused to leave their territory no matter how the spy coerced him. Black Axe didn’t mind this because he didn’t plan to attack the thief. He was looking for an opportunity to chat with the thief in secret.

Black Axe went to the restaurant before the thief arrived. Then when the spy excused herself and went to the bathroom, he came out to speak with the thief.

He came alone so as not to scare the thief. He also came openly so that it wouldn’t look like he was sneaking up to the thief. He came in peace to seek cooperation, and he acted like it to prevent misunderstandings.

He took a lot of precautions to appear harmless, but that didn’t prevent him from being attacked immediately after he appeared. The thief didn’t even wait for him to speak before attacking him.

Black Aze is a warrior, so in a fight of raw power and skills, a thief should be no match for him. Unfortunately, he didn’t bring his big black axe, so he could only fight with the plates and eating utensils on the tables nearby.

The thief, on the other hand, came prepared with the Bloody Limbs divine ability. Four large and powerful blood-red tentacles sprouted from his back, and he attacked Black Axe with his full strength.

Black Axe rank 2 divine ability Martial instinct kicked in as soon as he saw the four bloody limbs smashing towards him. He knew immediately that the thief was kidding around and was trying to kill him. So he didn’t bother to say nonsense.

He didn’t want to waste time trying to talk things out, so he immediately activated his expensive rank 4 divine ability. The Weapon Arsenal divine ability was activated, so shimmering translucent crystal weapons appeared around him.

Four shields appeared around him. They flanked him and defended him against the four bloody limbs.

Meanwhile, a phantom axe appeared in his hands. He gripped the phantom axe and went on the offensive immediately.

He believed that offense was the best defense. So he raised the phantom axe and rushed towards the thief.

As he did so, he hoped that the thief would calm down. He also decided to speak in order to stop the fighting.

He said, “I’m not here to fight you. I just want to talk.”

He said that he didn’t want to fight, but his actions didn’t match his words at all. He was still rushing forward to cleave the thief in half.

He is doing this because he sensed danger from the thief. In order to ward off the danger, the best he could do was fight for his life to the best of his ability.

The danger came when the bloody limbs struck the phantom shields. Sever was activated on the bloody limbs, so even if the shields were real, they would have been cut cleanly in half.

These phantom weapons weren’t real, so they didn’t offer much resistance to being cut in half. But they didn’t fall down and become ineffective because of this disability. They could still move and fight.

Black Axe didn’t use the disabled shields to block the bloody tentacles, though. He had realized that doing so would be useless after witnessing the first clash. between them and the bloody weapons.

Instead, he decided to trust his marital instincts. He decided to make the shields explode.
