Chapter 181: Chapter 127: Run or Not?

Chapter 127: Run or Not? (Third Update)

Bentley’s electromagnetic attribute is very suitable for dealing with vehicles.

Even if he hasn’t specifically cultivated for it, once a vehicle gets close to him, no matter how thick the armor is, it can’t withstand a touch of his hand.

However, his body couldn’t hold up, so he chose to blow up two vehicles and then got close to take out another.

When Qu Jianlei came back, Bentley was leisurely cleaning up the battlefield.

The vehicles were all burning, but he had set the fire, and there were scattered corpses lying all around in the mud.

Still have the mood to loot the bodies? Qu Jianlei wanted to say something to him but then thought: Forget it, do as you please.

The old man really gave it his all today. If it weren’t for him, just that Ultimate Warrior alone would’ve been too much for him to handle.

There were traps in the yard, but the best outcome would’ve also been mutual destruction.

”Clean up the battlefield quickly!” he called out as he hurried to salvage the Mecha.

Even though the Mecha was blown up, there were still many valuable things on it that needed to be dismantled immediately.

It took almost half an hour for him to complete the disassembly, and when he looked up, he saw Bentley leisurely making his way back.

”Let’s go quickly,” he said, a bit anxious, ”we also need to notify Yellow Scorpion as quickly as possible, otherwise we won’t have time to retreat.”

”Retreat?” Bentley gave him a curious glance, ”Why do we need to retreat?”

Aren’t you just stating the obvious? Qu Jianlei looked at him, speechless, ”The first one we killed was the Water Attribute Ultimate Warrior, right?”

”Yeah,” Bentley nodded, ”Among C-level Warriors, he was quite formidable, having mastered at least three Secret Techniques.”

Isn’t that the end? Qu Jianlei helplessly looked at him, ”After taking out an Ultimate Warrior, shouldn’t we be getting out of here?”

”Why run?” Bentley looked at him in astonishment.

The next moment, he burst into laughter, ”Haha, is that the reason why you insisted on killing that Modified Warrior?”

Earlier, his task was to deal with three vehicles, while Qu Jianlei’s was just to chase down one Modified Warrior.

Qu Jianlei’s part seemed easier, but it was actually more challenging.

Destroying three vehicles was simple; chasing down a Modified Warrior intent on escaping was truly difficult.

Bentley had been wondering why Qu Jianlei was so dead set on killing that Modified Warrior.

In terms of attacking power, the Modified Warrior was slightly weaker than the Mecha, but it was much more agile and powerful in combat, making it hard to capture.

”Yes,” Qu Jianlei nodded, then asked, ”Killing an Ultimate Warrior wouldn’t get us hunted down?”

”Well...it’s not as severe as you think,” Bentley responded solemnly, ”Especially those taking freelance jobs.”

It turns out the main task for Ultimate Warriors is to guard Central City, as it has the most cultivation resources.

They would also go on missions to various Gathering Areas, usually returning after completing tasks.

Ultimate Warriors who linger in various Gathering Areas or voluntarily take jobs there aren’t protected by Central City.

Central City’s stance is that their main responsibility is here, and they shouldn’t be causing trouble elsewhere.

Especially since this one was helping a Gathering Area’s forces kill, which Central City doesn’t favor at all.

Bentley concluded, ”It’s no secret that Celestial Craftsmanship wants to deal with the two of us...even the Defense Team knows.”

”Central City will definitely investigate the cause of this person’s death, so theoretically, we’re not in any real danger.”

No doubt, for someone who’s been a wanted criminal for decades, this inside information comes easily.

Qu Jianlei analyzed and then asked, ”Is Central City worried about Ultimate Warriors running wild in the various Gathering Areas?”

”Of course,” Bentley answered without hesitation.

”While Central City is nice, dominating a Gathering Area below also feels great...quite suitable for retirement.”

This answer completely convinced Qu Jianlei, ”I see, so Central City doesn’t just sit back and let these elite forces get killed.”

Bentley leisurely replied, ”In the eyes of those in Central City, the Gathering Areas below are inferior and meant to be left to their own devices.”

”Then it’s fine,” Qu Jianlei wasn’t worried anymore and leisurely cleaned the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Bentley found it somewhat amusing, ”No wonder Yellow Scorpion said you have no sense of security, are you always ready to run?”

Qu Jianlei didn’t bother to answer him, thinking: There’s no need for you to ridicule me, right?

Both of them cleaned the battlefield in the rain for almost an hour.

Due to visibility reasons, they had to abandon some scattered items, but even so, the loot from this battle was considerable.

A rough estimate indicates that selling the spoils would cover the battle expenses and still yield nearly a thousand silver coins.

The rented courtyard suffered some damage, as the Water Tornado had demolished a section of the wall and caused some damage to a few rooms.

However, this result was much better than expected, as they initially thought this residential area wouldn’t withstand a barrage of shelling.

Being only slightly damaged was considered fortunate.

Qu Jianlei originally planned to compensate the landlord a bit, but later, the landlord attempted to probe into the courtyard.

For someone like that, there was no need to be polite; after all, they had already paid a deposit.

If the deposit isn’t enough to repair the house, it’s not his problem — they asked for that amount in deposit initially.

During the rainy night, Qu Jianlei dashed back to the outskirts of the city and called Flower Scorpion to bring out the heavy truck,

and upon returning to the courtyard, he found two more bodies.

The handiwork was Bentley’s, who calmly explained, ”They had no identification, likely people from Celestial Craftsmanship sent to probe.”

”Then let’s clean up quickly,” Flower Scorpion urged, reluctant to abandon all the setup in the courtyard.
