Chapter 589: Chapter 275 Wanted_3

And some armed personnel, seemingly there to collect parking fees, were approaching.

Seeing them drawing nearer, Bai Ya whispered, “Shall I drive them away?”

As a Demon General, he naturally did not want these lowly mortals to approach the Divine Chosen.

“No need, give the order to cooperate with them,” Li Yelai responded. He saw that those armed personnel were intent on meeting everyone from each merchant convoy. It appeared they were searching for someone, which piqued his curiosity.

When those armed guards neared Li Yelai’s convoy,

At first glance, they spotted the hot melt guns and rocket launchers that the Chaos Sect Members had deliberately left in plain sight. They couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

The burly man at the front hesitated for a few seconds before saying politely, “Excuse me, everyone, could you please step out for a moment? We’re just looking for someone and then we’ll leave. It’s Giant City’s order, please cooperate.”

Everyone’s gaze turned toward Li Yelai, as if a single command from him would lead them to perform a blood sacrifice on this gathering place.

“Giant City’s order? Fine, we’re all law-abiding citizens,” Li Yelai said with a slight wave of his hand, then called out to the inside of the camper, “Hong Zhuang, come out for some fresh air.”

Soon, Little Mad King emerged from inside the camper, donning a charge jacket.

Her exquisite face and impressive figure made the armed men’s eyes light up with astonishment, but they dared not continue to stare.

The firepower of this group was enough to make them shudder; they did not dare to offend.

They were quite adept at identifying which individuals could be provoked and those who should not even be touched.

“Thank you, thank you! We’ll be leaving now. As a gesture of gratitude, your parking fee is waived this time. Please rest well,” the leading strongman offered a clasped hand to Li Yelai, then tried to take his leave.

“Wait a moment, mate,” Li Yelai called out to him and asked, “What exactly is the matter that has you traversing everywhere in search of someone?”

The strongman hesitated for a moment before responding, “Recently, a person died.”

“Hahaha, are you kidding me?” Gongsun Craftsman laughed and said, “Life is cheap out in the wilderness.”

Indeed, life was cheap out in the wilderness, without any laws or order. It was normal for dog-eat-dog situations to occur.

“But this time it’s different. The person who died was an official of Giant City,” the strongman said with a sad look: “Apparently, he was a high-ranking official, and someone blasted him and his vehicle to pieces. As a result, Giant City has issued a massive wanted order, one million Giant City Coins! All of us in these gathering places want a piece of that…”

“That is indeed unusual. One million Giant City Coins is a significant sum…” Gongsun Craftsman exclaimed in surprise, “So there’s a wanted order, which means you have a description of the murderer?”

“Yes, it’s a man accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old girl, about thirty years old, carrying a Black Corner Great Bow and around 1.9 meters tall,” the strongman replied.

“And, I’ve heard rumors that the little girl is actually his employer,” the strongman added.

“Wow, so the little girl is quite wealthy then?” a sect member exclaimed in surprise.

Evidently, that man was a Spiritual Ability User, using a bow to destroy a vehicle, even under the protection of that high-ranking official.

At minimum, he was a Spiritual Ability User on the Third Awakening Divine Protection Path.

Hiring a Spiritual Ability User of at least Third Awakening wasn’t cheap, let alone becoming wanted.

“No, that little girl is from a nearby village,” the strongman said with a distressed look, “What kind of wealthy people could be in a village? I heard that she hired the assassin for just five Giant City Coins. That’s why it’s considered a small rumor… nobody believes it.”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the sect members subtly shifted.

To kill a high-ranking Giant City official for just five coins?

And to carry the immense bounty of being wanted on one’s head?

Indeed, in their minds, such a person did exist…

“Five coins… interesting. Didn’t expect to encounter them here…” Li Yelai let out a breath.

“The Wilderness Ranger!”
