1145 Annihilate (2/2)
Ow Ow!
Arank roared furiously and sent a ghoul flying with a punch. However, this was not enough to change his fate as a few ghouls bit his four limbs and neck.
Kaboom!
The next moment, a terrifying explosion emerged, and half the warehouse blew up.
Flames rocketed into the sky as flesh and blood flew.
Nietzsche felt his ears buzzing as he was swept to the ground by the shockwave. While he was struggling to lift his head, he saw many men in black calmly firing their guns, forming a firepower net.
The ghouls had their heads blown off and collapsed.
”Be sure to clean up the battlefield properly!” Clayon calmly directed the follow-up cleaning.
Nietzsche finally regained his senses and said in disbelief, ”A huge ghoul lair annihilated just like that?”
Simon, who was beside him, had a wide-opened mouth. This had obviously left a deep impression on him as well.
”On this planet, we humans are the true masters!” Clayon said proudly. ”You should be rejoicing in the fact that you met me first!”
However, Nietzsche was thinking about something else. Ghouls aren't terrifying at all… Sure enough, Mr. Andy is a big liar…
…
Two days later.
The newspapers had already reported the explosion at Wesley Pier. The official explanation for this incident was a gas leak.
Fang Yuan walked out of the police station and stretched his back. ”Good morning, Mr. Nietzsche… Congratulations on finding a new job!”
”…” Nietzsche looked at Fang Yuan but was completely speechless. He was thinking about the conclusion of the investigation.
After a search and professional appraisals, Old Man Javier's Convienence Store had contained mostly counterfeit goods or items to deceive others, especially that gold-coated copper talisman with the sun insignia. Only Voodoo Rituals was a true extraordinary item, and it was only accidentally acquired.
As for the so-called Ghoul Talismans, they were also all fake. The so-called ghoul claws inlaid in them were all dog claws!
It was also concluded that the ghoul attack on the international fugitive Capone was merely bad luck and pure coincidence.
This was the Investigation Agency's assessment, and Nietzsche had no doubts about it. The reason he found Fang Yuan was only because he still had one last doubt. ”That… Sin Imprint… how did you know about it?”
”Sigh… After coming into contact with so many extraordinary items, I'm bound to feel things differently!” Fang Yuan said with a certain sadness.
On the road, Morigu had already hired a carriage and opened the door for him.
”Don't say anymore, you big liar!” Nietzsche yelled, deciding to no longer believe anything that this black-hearted, profiteering boss said.
”Oh, Little Mister, your attitude makes me really sad… Originally, I was planning to introduce you to a treasure I'm about to acquire—a late painting of the great artist Master Vincent. For just ten gold punks, it's an absolute steal!”
Fang Yuan feigned a helpless sigh.
Nietzsche's heart moved, but he maintained his emotionless face. ”I will no longer believe you or anything in your store! They're all fake!”
”Oh, that's a shame…” Fang Yuan shrugged and said meaningfully, ”The influence and contamination of ghouls aren't easy to get rid of… Young man, the guidance of destiny has started. You have to work hard!”
Smack!
He got into the carriage, shut the door, and told the coachman to return to his store.
”He's truly… a foolish and pathetic being…” After sending the carriage away, Morigu sighed. ”He's clearly in danger yet knows nothing at all! How pathetic!”
For an investigation of this level, even Morigu's ability to manipulate dreams and illusions was enough to fool them. Fang Yuan had not needed to act at all.
”But this is also what makes it interesting, right?” Fang Yuan laughed.
…
On another side, Nietzsche found an apartment according to an address given to him.
”This is one of the Investigation Agency bases in Kimbert City. Now that you're one of our informers, you have to come back here once every week to report new information. You will receive a stipend of three silver sols every month, and your bonus will depend on the importance of the information you bring back. Any questions?”
Clayon cut a piece of medium-rare steak and put it in his mouth, showing a look of delight. ”You can only truly enjoy the natural flavor by not adding any additional seasoning!”
”No questions!” Nietzsche took a deep breath. ”I wish to join you! What do I have to do?”
”We have to observe you for a period of time, and you will also have to pass tests!” Clayon replied with a smile. ”Come, let me introduce you to your boss here… Oh yes, I have to mention that the steak Mr. Hannibal makes is truly delectable!”
