Chapter 125 - There Is A Storm Coming (1/2)

Hecathe sighed as he leaned his head back and looked up at the sky that had dark clouds dangerously crowding together on top.

The wind felt cold as it brushed past his skin and for some reason, Hecathe couldn't help but feel a little exhausted.

It seemed that there was a storm coming...

Hecathe closed his eyes and stayed in that position for a few minutes before he decided to head out to the black market once again.

There was going to be another auction today as well and if Hecathe wanted to pay Zather for the rumor, he needed to go and get some money since he had run out of funds by now.

If it hadn't been for the gluttonous Dorgon, Hecathe was sure that he would have still had enough money to pay Zather.

While Hecathe paid another visit to the black market, Marvin and LeiLei were stuck inside a mutant cave.

At first, LeiLei had no idea where she was but the girl could still sense the danger that lingered around so she lit up a matchstick that Marvin had given her before they entered this place.

As soon as the matchstick was lit up, the creepy faces of the mutants were revealed.

With their fangs on display, drooling on the ground, they looked to be pretty delighted and hungry as they saw the two.

LeiLei's eyes widened as she got shocked by the bone-chilling sight but surprisingly enough, the girl didn't scream.

”Mr. Raven, is this the test?” LeiLei asked softly, almost sounding a bit too calm.

Marvin couldn't help but chuckle as he found the girl's reaction a bit amusing.

The boy nodded as he confirmed it and responded, ”Try your best to stay alive and if you can, try to collect some dead ones as well.”

LeiLei's face cringed up in disgust as she heard this and the matchstick was already almost burned out completely.

”If you can bring out a few dead ones, you'll get paid for the mutant bead,” Marvin shrugged his shoulder as he added and as soon as the girl heard the word 'money' being involved in the situation, her eyes widened in surprise and her lips curled up in delight.

She dropped the matchstick to the ground and the cave was once again dark, but this time, it was certainly not silent anymore.

Marvin chuckled softly as he made his way to the side and sat down to enjoy the fight.

It seemed that the word 'money' was more than enough to make the girl fight mutants that could possibly kill her.

Marvin had never seen the girl use her abilities in front of him but since Hecathe had some faith in this girl, Marvin was curious to know what he was going to see today and had high expectations from her.

Surprisingly enough, LeiLei didn't disappoint him in the least.

Marvin closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the cave wall as he sat on the ground with an amused small smile on his face.

Since the cave was dark, he couldn't see what was happening but from the sounds alone, he was sure that LeiLei wasn't the one in danger.

LeiLei grabbed a handful of small stones from the ground and although such an action might not have made sense to many, she clearly had a plan in her mind.

The girl was not a good fighter so it was only natural that she wasn't interested in fighting the mutants.

With the ability she had, fighting was not even needed for her to pass this test.

According to what Marvin had told her, all she needed to do was stay alive till the time was up and if she could get a few mutant beads in the process, she would also be able to earn money in this test.

LeiLei was interested in passing the test since she wanted to join the guild but it seemed that she was more interested in getting the money out of the mutant beads.

Instead of fighting the mutants, LeiLei decided to be intelligent and took the easy way out.

With the use of her abilities, she swapped out the stones with the mutant beads and in the process, all the stones that were in her hand turned into pure mutant beads while the mutants started dropping to the ground one by one.

The mutant bead was like a brain to them. It was the most important organ of their body and without it, the mutants would no longer be able to live. So, when their mutant beads were suddenly turned into small stones, it was only natural that the mutants died.

Marvin was a bit surprised as he heard the mutants dropping to the ground one by one and he couldn't help but be even more interested in this girl who had caused such a thing.
