BXBX NOVEL Chapter 433 Strange Rumour (7)
When they saw this figure, everyone couldn\'t help taking a step back and bringing their weapons down.
After all, not a single person had sensed the arrival of this cloaked figure.
It was almost as if this cloaked figure had appeared out of thin air.
This had been the same when they had met this cloaked figure to get the information that they wanted.
That was right, this person was the cloaked figure who had sold them the information on \'Mu Bao Bao\' in the first place.
They had tried to find out where this cloaked figure had come from, but not a single person had been able to find out.
So now that this cloaked figure had appeared again, they couldn\'t help feeling worried.
The Black Widow was the first one that recovered and he took a deep breath before revealing a smile to say, "This sir, may I ask what business you have with us?"
The cloaked figure didn\'t answer and just remained floating there.
It was almost as if they didn\'t even hear what the Black Widow had said with the way that they just remained still.
The Black Widow couldn\'t help feeling a hint of annoyance in his heart when he saw this.
After all, this was a man who was very prideful.
The reason that he hunted down all those mercenaries was because of his superiority complex. He wanted to prove to everyone that he was better than everyone.
So when someone looked down on him like this, it really made him want to rip them to pieces.
But he knew that he had to stay calm since he knew nothing about this cloaked figure. Not to mention that the cloaked figure was able to appear as he willed without alerting any of them, meaning that he was much stronger than any of them.
If he wanted to kill them without being noticed…it would be easy for him.
So they couldn\'t let their guards down around this cloaked figure.
However, this cloaked figure didn\'t do a single thing as he just floated there. With how he was floating there, it didn\'t seem like he was planning on doing anything at all.
Since that was the case…the Black Widow made a decision.
"Friends, since this sir is just here to observe, let\'s give them a proper show."
The Black Widow didn\'t know what the cloaked figure was here to do, but since they didn\'t seem like they were going to do anything, there was no need for them to remain still. After all, it wasn\'t as if they had unlimited time here either.
Eventually, someone would stumble upon this battle in the desert and they would bring back news of it.
Once news of this spread to the oasis town, there was no doubt that \'Mu Bao Bao\' would be alerted.
That is the worst case scenario for them since it would mean that they might scare her away.
Once she was scared away, that would mean that they would have no way of tracking her down again.
So no matter what, they couldn\'t allow that to happen.
This was a king\'s sum that they were about to claim from her!
The others hesitated after hearing what the Black Widow said, but seeing that the cloaked figure wasn\'t moving, they slowly raised the ranged weapons in their hands.
After all, this was a king\'s sum that they were talking about…they didn\'t want to give it up that easily.
As long as they took care of the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters groups, they would have a greater chance of claiming this.
This was how the Black Widow had convinced all of them to cooperate with him in the first place.
If it wasn\'t for the money, there was no way that he would have been able to gather all of these people.
Seeing that the cloaked figure still wasn\'t doing anything, they then aimed all of their weapons at the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters group in the middle of the blockade.
Seeing this, the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters group all raised their guards again.
During the time that had been bought, the three from the Triple Axis had been able to catch their breath.
They were no longer as exhausted as before and were able to fight again.
The three of them gathered and it looked like they were about to break through the blockade around them.
However, before they could do that, the leader of the Treasure Hunters stopped them.
Instead of letting them use force, the leader of the Treasure Hunters looked up at the floating cloaked figure and said, "Sir, I\'m sure that what the Black Widow is doing is affecting the plans of your master, so I\'m asking for your help. If you rescue us, we will work with your master on whatever they have planned."
When the Black Widow heard this, he couldn\'t help speaking up right away.
Even though he didn\'t believe that the cloaked figure would be moved by this, he still didn\'t want to risk anything.
If the cloaked figure all of a sudden helped the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters group, there was no knowing what would happen.
If these two groups escaped…then it would be dangerous for him.
After all, he had already placed his bet and gone all in with this plan.
If it didn\'t succeed, they would certainly want revenge on him.
So it had to succeed.
"Sir, please don\'t listen to them! They were the ones that provoked us first! You can see our allies lying at their feet!"
When the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters group heard this, they couldn\'t help revealing angry expressions.
After all, the allies that he was referring to were the Sand Scorpions. They were the ones that had attacked them first, so they could justify their actions as self defense.
In fact, it was very likely that the Black Widow had been the one that had sent the Sand Scorpions after them in the first place.
But even then, he was trying to turn black into white by claiming to be the victim in the first place.
This naturally angered the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters group.
They were about to say something, but before they could…the cloaked figure suddenly raised a hand.
Everyone couldn\'t help being taken aback when they saw this.
However, not a single person said a word as they waited to see what kind of reaction this cloaked figure would have.
The one with the most excited look on their face was the Black Widow.
After all, he was the one that had spoken last before the cloaked figure had suddenly raised their hand. By that logic, it should mean that he was the one that had incited the cloaked figure to move.
If the cloaked figure helped them take care of these people, then that would be the best case scenario for them.
Not only would they not have to lift a finger and lower their casualties, they would be able to see what kind of power the cloaked figure was hiding.
But then to their surprise, the cloaked figure didn\'t turn to look at the Triple Axis and the Treasure Hunters group.
Instead, he turned to look at the Black Widow.
When the Black Widow saw this, he couldn\'t help being taken aback and a bit panicked since he had no idea what was happening. But he could tell that this wasn\'t a good sign….
So he was about to say something in response to this.
But before he could, he felt a sharp pain come from his forehead. Then after that, it was as if there was something that was dripping down from his forehead.
The Black Widow raised a hand to check what it was and he found…that it was a red liquid that was dripping down.
When he looked at his hand closely, he found that it was blood.
At that moment, it clicked in his mind what had just happened and he couldn\'t help looking up. However, since the hole was right in between his eyes, he wasn\'t able to see it in the end.
After this realization, his vision suddenly started to blur and his body started tilting forward.
Even in his final moments, he couldn\'t understand why this had happened.
As for the rest of the people in the blockade, they were all stunned to see the bug covered in blood that was floating there.
This bug had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and drilled a hole through the forehead of the Black Widow.
After a long moment of being dazed, they all quickly took a step back away from the bug that was floating there.
That was because they could feel the pressure that was coming from it…
All of them knew in an instant that this bug was stronger than them!
It wasn\'t just a bit stronger, but it was immensely stronger than them. They were nothing more than a pebble on the side of the road and this bug was a giant mountain that could crush them without any effort.
After the bug killed the Black Widow, it flew back to the cloaked figure at its own pace before disappearing into the cloaked figure\'s sleeve.
The cloaked figure just floated there for a bit before saying, "You have disturbed my master\'s plans and as such, you will be punished. This man was the one that incited everything and as such, his life is forfeit. If you continue to act in the same way as this man, know that all of your lives will be forfeit."
After saying this, he didn\'t even bother waiting for them to respond before suddenly disappearing on the spot.
