Ranking System-Chapter 161 Attacked
The Crushers? It was simple and bland, but it wasn't bad in a sense. My naming sense also wasn't great, so I kept the name.
"Let's go back to the base and recount our loot."
"YEAH!!!"
Everyone here was excited by what they got. We had looted a treasury worth of items, and everyone here, without a doubt, will get something good.
By my command, we all left the store and returned to our base. Our loot was now in a pile in the middle of our main base. Some people here were trying to hide some of their loot, but as the leader, I had to force them to take everything. I can't have disloyal subordinates.
We had thousands of loot that were in the pile since I was the one who made this heist successful. It was obviously my choice to pick what I wanted.
There were many choices that I could choose from. I urgently needed to find an artifact that would assist me in searching for someone. I don't doubt that the people of Earth could do something like that, but anything could happen to them.
With hundreds of artifacts here, there's got to be one that met the condition. And when I searched for the pile, it wasn't there. It was unlucky that I couldn't find the right tools. Should I rob more stores? That was the quickest way for me to find more artifacts.
But with me doing so, every shop will become close to them, not wanting to be robbed. I took ten artifacts that I found helpful for the girls back home. As for materials that strengthen us, I took seventy percent.
Ever since I came to this place, I have realized one thing. There were people much stronger than me on a physical level. Everyone here is from worlds at the second rank and above.
Back on Earth, something like this would have never happened. My skill in the higher worlds would become less effective over time. People would find ways to deal with me, despite my overpowered abilities.
Since I left enough resources for everyone, they thought I had taken too little and should get more. The people didn't voice it out, but their faces said what they thought.
"Use everything here. For our next raid, we will be doing something bigger."
"Don't worry, boss! With you here! We will become the very best!"
My gang members started to suck up to me when they saw the immense benefit they would receive.
Listening to them talk, I didn't have any emotions welling up. Their flattering were useless; I knew they were only like this because of my power.
Prompting them that I was done for the day, I returned to Earth to my bed, laying on its warm sensation.
To my right was Courtney, here taking a nap on my bed. It had only been a few hours before I left, and looking at her, I couldn't help but want to mess with her.
Courtney's soft and peaceful expression and her wrinkled clothes made it easier to see her bare body. Looking at her, I thought she was submissive and breedable.
"Charles..?"
When I hugged her, Courtney woke up and called my name.
"Sorry, but when you were sleeping. I couldn't help but hug you seeing how beautiful and cute you are."
Courtney was bashful of my random compliment but accepted it nevertheless. Eventually, I got Courtney in the mood, and we did it.
[Third Person POV]
"Please help me! My store has been robbed!"
The storekeeper that had been robbed pleaded to have justice upon him. He cried and begged the woman in front of him to help him get back his stuff.
"So someone dares to do this in public?"
With such unruly people, the person who did this must not have any respect for her authority. The woman in front was the current ruler of this hub. While her rules weren't absolute, most people who knew her followed those rules. An upset with these rules was a challenge to her authority.
"Please help me!!!"
The woman in front was in deep thought. She had ignored the man's cry as she thought of how to deal with these bandits. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
"Connor. Prepare to capture all of them. We need to show everyone who's the boss of this city. We can't have any rioters. Our authority will be questioned if we do."
"Yes, Milady!"
Connor, the right-hand man, left and rallied up all their men. As for the shopkeeper, he was thankful for the assistance and would assist on this raid to the best of his abilities.
"Richard, how did these people manage to steal your things?"
Richard didn't explain how his shop had been robbed. Any vital information to the woman would be useful.
"I don't know how they did it, but someone in the gang frozen everyone! Even the guards that I had hired couldn't lift a finger. They were expensive..."
Hearing what Richard had said, the person who must have robbed him had to be strong. If this attack were unsuccessful, her reign as the queen of this city would crumble in an instant.
It didn't take long before Connor had gathered all of their men. Thousands of combatants were ready to fight.
"Connor, we will be doing an ambush. We can't take chances if they rob Richard's store with ease."
The raid against the Crushers will begin. While they brought a thousand men, they quickly got to their destination without anyone informing them of their arrival.
Sending in a signal to attack, everyone went in on them, attacking the forty men inside the base. The fight was short. Even if they had pain resistance and were partially immortal, they could not fight back. In the end, they were captured without much trouble.
"Our boss will avenge us!!!"
Claire, the leader of this group, thought it was strangely easy. Hearing the word "boss" from the grunt meant this wasn't over.
