191 Rumors (1/2)

”Heard any rumors lately?” A guy in a big cloak sat at the counter in the local inn. He asked the barkeeper for any information just out of boredom. The barkeeper thought for a second before responding.

”Here, take a look at this! Some of the True Emperor's men came by and left this bounty letter.” The barkeeper fished out a yellowish folded paper with a seal on it before giving it to the cloaked man. Without saying anything further, he continued to wash the cup he was holding for the umpteenth time.

The cloaked man was speechless as he looked at the paper in his hand. 'Why do you still use paper, in which century do you live in??' He thought before shaking his head.

He unfolded the paper and read through it silently.

”Bounty

By order of Ignadul:

To all able-bodied men and women of the Dredo galaxy. A god of death flying past the Styx River on a meteor has been luring and killing True Emperors and their subordinates.

A reward will be offered to anyone who kills this beast.”

”A god of death? Impressive title…” The man squinted slightly after looking at the drawn picture. ”…Isn't that an Oozaru?” He mumbled to himself.

He stood up and dropped some crystals onto the counter, pocketed the bounty before leaving in a hurry.

The barkeeper followed him with his eyes and caught onto a tail that was barely seeable underneath the long cloak.

Broly was slowly walking with his hands in his pockets into the headquarters of the Universal Intelligence. He passed the security guards and the so-called topnotch spies and information gatherer.

Hidden from the eyes of the general guest, there were several beings who possessed extraordinary strength or surveillance abilities.

The Universal Intelligence was aware that if someone dared to make trouble in here, the guards would only pose as cannon fodder, however, even these hidden experts didn't move out as Broly walked passed the security and took the elevator up to the higher floors.

It was like they were purposely ignoring him, but of course, they just weren't strong enough for Broly to make a move except for using illusions.

After the years of training illusions and other mental attacks or deceiving techniques, coupled with his tremendous supply of magic power and his vision of truth, his illusions became exceedingly strong.

Although his vision of truth didn't directly influence the illusion's power, he still could use it to make it blend in more seamless with reality.

He was confident that he could completely fool anyone that was below his strength or was insensitive to magic.

Anyone above his strength would need tremendous amount of magic power to deceive, which would make the fluctuations more obvious as he wasn't as proficient in handling an amount of power where he had to go to his limits. Of course, that also meant that as Broly grew in power, it would become easier to control it.

The elevator didn't take long to bring Broly to the highest floor. The door opened and he stepped outside. There were several men in suits on the sides of a long floor that looked straight ahead without saying anything. The fluctuations coming from their bodies were obvious.

Broly opened the giant metal door in front of him and was directly greeted by a man sitting on a giant couch while being pleasured by several girls. Stunned by the cliché sight, Broly shook his head in disappointment. It was obvious that this man was just a puppet to attract anyone's attention with ill intent.

He still went ahead and read his mind as he could get the information of when a middleman would appear.
