Sui Xiong had to act on what he had said. He put searching for his own body aside and went all out to work on finding helpers for Javier.

He first contacted his elder brother, Yorgaardman. Yorgaardman was willing to help, but he also reminded Sui Xiong that Javier was not very powerful. Thus, when he entered that period of weakness, he would be as vulnerable as a paper man that could be killed with a single attack; Sui Xiong had to find more helpers.

“Will there be anyone who dares to make trouble with us?” Sui Xiong found something ominous from his brother’s words and asked in surprise.

“There isn’t anyone so eager to die, but you know, the rewards are large enough this time.” Yorgaardman sighed. “As long as there are enough benefits, people are usually willing to do business in risk of losing their lives. Let’s say this time, if someone can catch the opportunity to make a quick attack and run away immediately, as long as he is well prepared beforehand, he may be able to escape before we take any action. By then, if he escapes to the abyss and hides there, who can hunt him down there?”

“I can!” Sui Xiong said viciously.

“Even if you can, you’re the only one. It’s safer to be chased by you than by two great Divine Powers.”

“There is no such thing as ‘safe’ for the man I’m chasing!” Sui Xiong was so angry that his eye opened widely. “Besides, there are more than two great Divine Powers!”

“You mean the Goddess of Wealth, Manissy? Forget it. She just has the title of a great Divine Power.” Yorgaardman laughed and shook his head. “Let me tell you, even though she is a great Divine Power, she most likely will be defeated by those powerful ones from the mid-level Divine Powers in a fight.”

Sui Xiong was shocked in his heart. “Is she that weak?”

“She is just a bigger-sized Javier. Now Javier is also a low-level Divine Power, but do you think he can defeat those powerful ones from the low-level Divine Powers?”

Sui Xiong thought about it for a while and shook his head helplessly.

Then, he realized that the Goddess of Wealth was indeed a second-rate master, and she wouldn’t be a useful helper.

“But we still have Wenner. He’s indeed a great Divine Power,” Sui Xiong added. “I think he’s quite reliable.”

Yorgaardman was surprised at first. Then he remembered that Sui Xiong had the whole War God System as subordinates, so he couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

“Of course, Wenner is powerful enough. He is even one of the most powerful ones among the great Divine Powers,” Yorgaardman said with a smile. “I still don’t understand why he was willing to submit to you when he lost in the war. Even if he couldn’t defeat you, he could at least protect his God’s Kingdom.”

“God knows. Anyway, he swore to treat me as his leader, and I don’t think he would joke about that.”

“Of course, no gods can act against their oath, or… Anyway, all those who dared to do so were dead. Wenner is not a fool, and he won’t want to be such an example,” Yorgaardman laughed and said. “But I didn’t count him in as one of our helpers. Why don’t you go and ask Law Brans for help? He is your student, and he is supposed to help when his teacher is in trouble.”

“The God of Law?” It was Sui Xiong’s turn to be a little surprised. He really hadn’t thought about the God of Law.

“I don’t think he will help. I remember that his doctrine is all about rigorous and impartial things, and he would never do something for selfish means. Isn’t it against his doctrine to use his power for private purposes?”

“How could this be a private matter? It’s civil business!” Yorgaardman said indifferently. “What’s more, there is more than one way to explain the law. As long as we can find a proper excuse, will there be anything illegal? Will there be any idea against his doctrine?”

It could be seen that Yorgaardman was biased or even hostile towards the law and law enforcers. It was probably related to his background and his early experiences—perhaps it was due to what he had seen and heard during his travels in the human world over the years.
