Guangyue Province, Huashan City.
This was Wei Su's hometown, and also the hometown of the jailer Wen Wen had killed. Wen Wen had come here to compensate the jailer's family.
Wen Wen could have simply transferred a sum of money to their bank account, but he wouldn't feel right about it, so he wanted to come in person.
After entering the city, Wen Wen disguised himself. He feared encountering Wu Wang or those hunting Wu Wang. He didn't want any dealings with people from Ao Ye Water City right now.
The slumbering ancient god 'Ensuk' could lock onto a person's location just by their name, which was far too dangerous for Wen Wen.
However, after arriving in the city where Wu Wang might be, Wen Wen felt a stirring of desire. According to Wei Su's memories, that guy had too many good things. Scarecrow decoys, universal medicine, absolute defense shields… If Wen Wen could get his hands on Wu Wang, he'd be in for a massive haul!
With both potential gains and risks present, Wen Wen chose to deliberately look away. If he actually saw Wu Wang, Wen Wen might not be able to resist making a move.
A simple investigation revealed that the deceased jailer had a wife and a son. His wife was an ordinary woman, working in a textile factory in the city. Her salary was neither high nor low, and she got along well with her neighbors. She was a good woman. SuDan Novel Network.
Their son was in the fourth grade of elementary school, a bit mischievous, often getting his mother called to the school by his teachers, which caused her no end of headaches.
The jailer was the pillar of this family. To support them, he had traveled to Yanling City for work. After some effort, he became a lobby manager at Lishui Mountain Villa, sending a substantial salary home each month.
When the Hunter Association completely leveled Lishui Mountain Villa, their pillar collapsed. The death notice that reached the mother and son stated that he had died in a car accident due to overwork.
This was perhaps for the best. At least in the eyes of the jailer's family, he remained a good person.
It had been several months since the news of his death reached home. During these months, the pressure on the family had increased dramatically. The mother took on odd jobs during her rest time to supplement their income.
It seemed the biggest difficulty for their family was financial.
So, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Wen, disguised as an insurance company employee, waited by their home. Usually, the mother would pick up her child from school around this time to return home together.
Wen Wen had prepared a sum of money sufficient for the child to complete university, marry, and have children. He planned to claim it was the jailer's pre-purchased insurance, and he was merely delivering the payout. These funds would absolutely help the family through their immediate crisis and settle Wen Wen's karmic debt with the deceased jailer.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Wen Wen took out a small mirror and began practicing a formulaic smile. He couldn't let the woman suspect his identity.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed from outside the building, followed by a cacophony of screams and car alarms. Wen Wen hurried to the window in the corridor and looked down, seeing a large truck plowing through the street below. A strange aura emanated faintly from the truck.
Lying on the street below were two mangled bodies. Wen Wen recognized them at a glance: they were the jailer's relatives whom he had intended to help…
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Wen Wen gritted his teeth, staring at the truck. If he could just deliver this money, he would find peace, but the truck driver wouldn't let him.
Furthermore, if it had been a normal traffic accident, he would have simply lamented their misfortune, as such things happened every day. But the truck that killed the mother and son radiated a supernatural aura, and Wen Wen naturally had to demand an explanation!
He leaped directly from the window and, empowered by the strength of the Faceless Demon, pursued the truck.
They were already near the city's outskirts, so Wen Wen did not stop the truck immediately after catching up. If he were to engage in a high-speed chase like in the movies, the impact would be too great, and the cleanup crews would likely be furious. Therefore, Wen Wen planned to wait until the truck reached a less populated area before dealing with it.
In the driver's seat of the truck sat a man with bulging veins all over his body. He was completely hairless and wore a smile of enjoyment, his eyes vacant and unfocused. In the back of the truck were two young, attractive women whom he had randomly abducted along the road. The driver didn't know why he was doing it; he just found it amusing.
His current state was one of extreme euphoria. He didn't want to think about anything else, only to act on his impulses. Moreover, he felt more powerful than ever, capable of anything.
Just then, a dark figure descended from the sky, placing its hands on the front of the truck to brace against it. The figure was pushed forward by the vehicle, its feet digging deep gouges into the ground. Finally, the truck's tires blew out simultaneously, bringing it to a halt.
This figure who descended from the sky was none other than Wen Wen. It wasn't that he lacked the ability to stop the truck directly, but doing so would inevitably injure the hostages inside. Hence, he opted for a gentler method.
As soon as the truck stopped, the driver's face contorted into a ferocious expression. He pulled out a thick wrench, about half a meter long, opened the door, and stepped out.
"Kid, you've got some nerve, stopping me from driving! I'll show you that an old driver isn't to be trifled with!" The thick wrench swung directly towards Wen Wen. Wen Wen narrowed his eyes, snatched the wrench, and then kicked the man away.
"Tsk tsk, an old driver, huh? Then show me your driving skills?" After kicking him away, Wen Wen tilted his head and examined the man. He hadn't noticed it while in the air, but now, looking at the man's aura, it was remarkably similar to Wu Wang's!
Not Wu Wang's game puppet, but Wu Wang himself! Of course, this guy definitely wasn't Wu Wang, but why did he possess the same aura as Wu Wang? The muscular physique with bulging veins that filled the driver’s body was indeed frightening, but at most, it was only slightly superior to Master Ye's. He wasn't considered a super-powered individual. What connection could such a weakling have with Wu Wang?
Wen Wen hadn't kicked with full force, and the man shakily stood up, grinning menacingly, and charged at Wen Wen again. He seemed oblivious to the difference in strength.
Wen Wen's expression was calm. He took a step forward and pushed the man's chin with his palm, sending him flying. Before the man hit the ground, Wen Wen swiftly rolled the wrench into a ball and flicked it out, striking the man in the face and knocking him unconscious.
"This guy is definitely up to something. I'll interrogate him once he wakes up."
