Chapter 39 - .39

An old acquaintance!

Wei You sneered, shaking his leg like a typical little thug.

"Danielle, be smart and hand over the Black Fiend Bear!"

Danielle smirked, "Oh? If I hand it over, you'll let me go?"

"Of course not. But I'll make your death less painful."

Just then, Zachary leaned in close to Danielle and said, "That woman has quite a few crystals on her."

He sensed the energy waves.

Danielle's eyes lit up. She and Zachary exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

Leng and Fei Yang were still a bit nervous, but Danielle gave them a signal.

"How about we act like robbers today?"

Fei Yang was still stunned when Danielle suddenly disappeared.

Wei You shouted nervously, "Sister Yan, don't worry about us—just kill that woman! Her space ability will stop working then!"

Sister Yan sneered, "A space ability user? It's been a whole day. Let's see how long you can keep dodging!"

She swung her large blade wildly through the air. The collisions of energy caused space to tremble.

The unstable space made it hard for Danielle to stay hidden. Zachary suddenly leapt in to block Sister Yan.

"Your opponent is me."

Sister Yan's eyes lit up when she saw Zachary, even drooling.

"Not bad, not bad. Nice body. Boy, follow me and I'll make sure you survive."

"Yan!"

Wei You shouted angrily.

Sister Yan glared at him, "What are you yelling for? Aren't we just supposed to kill that woman? I'm keeping this man."

Just as she said that, a black blade swung toward her neck.

Sister Yan reacted faster than the Black Fiend Bear and dodged swiftly.

Danielle let out a cold snort and disappeared again. Try to steal her man? Dream on.

Boom.

Zachary and the furious Sister Yan started fighting. Wei You and the others tried to charge at Fei Yang.

But suddenly, a bunch of random junk fell from the sky, making the ground full of holes and uneven.

Several people couldn't dodge in time and fell. Fei Yang had learned some tricks from Danielle.

He split a burst of fire into multiple streams and hurled them forward.

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

Leng was nearby, adding to the chaos. She stabbed anyone she didn't like right in the chest.

Danielle was the scariest. She moved like a ghost. In just a flash during the chaos, she had already slit two people's throats.

It was terrifying. No one knew when she would appear or which part of them she'd attack.

No one dared charge forward anymore. They all stood in a circle, watching their surroundings nervously.

Fei Yang found it even easier to throw fire now. Burn them all—these bastards deserved it.

He felt more satisfied than ever. Soon, a pile of corpses surrounded Wei You.

His face turned pale, blood still dripping from his neck.

If he hadn't dodged just in time, Danielle would've taken his head.

Thump.

Terrified, Wei You fell to his knees.

"Miss Danielle, spare me! I didn't mean to. Your sister made me do it!"

Danielle poked her head out from the air. Zachary and Sister Yan were still fighting fiercely.

Sister Yan had higher power levels and seemed to be a strength-type user. Every move she made was wide and powerful.

Luckily, Zachary had awakened his own ability too. He noticed Danielle looking at him and gave a small shake of his head.

Don't come help. I've got this.

Fine.

Danielle shrugged. Her man—she'd let him show off.

She turned and looked at Wei You, who was still kneeling and begging.

The next moment, she appeared between Leng and Fei Yang.

"Either of you have a recording device?"

In the Wasteland Zone, wristbands only worked for tracking. All other functions were useless.

Danielle had no choice but to think of another way.

Leng shook her head. She never used that kind of thing.

Fei Yang looked awkward, blushing as he pulled out a pink camera.

"Uh, don't misunderstand!"

Seeing Danielle and Leng's surprised looks, he quickly explained, "It's a birthday gift for my little sister. She really likes pink. But it also has a video recording function, just not much memory."

Danielle grabbed it. "That's good enough. Let me borrow it. I'll pay you back later."

It was a simple camera—just point it and press one button to record.

She aimed it at Wei You. "Repeat what you just said."

Wei You hesitated in front of the camera.

He was scared. If he said it again, what if Duo He came after him? Offending one of the top eight families would still get him killed.

He stayed silent, struggling to make a decision.

Danielle calmly put away the camera. "If you don't want to live, I'll help you out."

Without warning, she slashed his neck.

Even in death, Wei You didn't understand why Danielle didn't keep the evidence.

Leng's eyes flickered. Fei Yang suddenly realized—they had killed someone. His fair face turned pale.

Boom!

Another loud sound came from afar. Zachary walked out from a cloud of dust, covered in blood.

He wiped his face, handed Danielle a small bag.

Only people with space-type powers could store things inside themselves. Everyone else had to carry items in regular bags.

There were no magical storage pouches here, just plain old bags.

That's why so many people wanted to rob others on the road.

Danielle grinned. "Wow, so many crystals!"

Fei Yang peeked inside and his eyes lit up. "There really are a lot."

Danielle quickly tucked them away. "We'll split them later. Now, what should we do?"

Fei Yang looked confused. "We've already killed everyone… so, uh, leave?"

Smack!

Leng slapped the back of his head. "Loot the bodies, dummy."

Danielle already rushed over. Leng healed Zachary and followed her.

Fei Yang finally got it. "Hey! Save me a few! Don't take them all!"

Zachary sat aside on alert. He coughed a few times, eyes filled with affection as he watched Danielle work.

Danielle looked at the dead people's wristbands and sighed.

"Too bad we can't transfer money anymore."

Fei Yang twitched. Sister Danielle really loved money.

But seeing all the crystals in his hand, he smiled again.

"Sister Danielle, now I get why they turned into robbers. It's so addictive! I kinda want to do this full-time."

Smack! Smack!

Two loud hits.

Fei Yang looked pitifully at Danielle and Leng.

"Why did you hit me?"

Danielle said, "That was the mild version. You're still young. Don't think about getting stuff without working for it."

Leng added, "Right! Fighting and killing isn't good. You should be a decent young man."

Fei Yang…

He watched in shock as Danielle and Leng happily counted their crystals together.

And not just that—they even took his crystals too!

Fei Yang felt so wronged. He looked at Zachary with big, teary eyes.

"Brother Zachary, they're bullying me…"
