CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 207: THE REMAINING BROWN FAMILY’S MEN

All the people in the room turned to the door in an instant, dread filling their hearts. Then, dozens of the men inside saw them—five people entering the door.

Nyra was leading the group. Her gaze was sharp and dark as she examined every face in the room. She recognized some familiar people who used to work for Darren.

They didn’t dare meet her eyes, abruptly diverting their gaze when their eyes were about to meet.

"W-what are you all doing here?!" Despite his huge and tall stature, the man in the middle seat was stuttering. "This is the Brown family’s territory!"

They had returned to the base filled with satisfaction today, reaping significant benefit. Until they returned to the base and found countless corpses of people who used to hold the same position as them.

No one of the corpses were from a low-level power member, so the killers must have been very specific. Still, it caused a panic among others in the base, no matter their power level.

They were afraid they would be next, urging the available ability users to find the culprits. Some suspected to be a kind of mutated monster, while others were suspicious they were their fellow ability users.

The second suspicion naturally formed around the people who had been absorbing human crystal cores, thinking someone among them had gone crazy for power.

After all, when they went to check the corpses themselves, they found out all their crystal cores were gone.

According to the information they gained from the spy lurking in the Valez family, there were no such cases in their place. People were living quite harmoniously despite the cramped space. Naturally, they turned their suspicion to the Valez family too.

And as it turned out, their suspicion wasn’t wrong. The five culprits delivered themselves to their door.

"So what if this is the Brown family’s territory?" Nyra folded her hands across her chest. "What are you going to do to us?"

The faces of the men from the Brown family’s side darkened. Unfortunately, Henry wasn’t at the base today.

They knitted their eyebrows. Their eyes were filled with troubled emotions. They glanced at each other, hoping someone would offer a solution. They were like headless chickens after Henry’s brother’s death.

Usually, when Henry wasn’t present, it was his brother who would make important decisions.

"If you leave this place before Mr. Brown returns, we won’t make a big deal out of what you have done." Suddenly, one of them spoke. "We will let you go."

Some gave a complicated look at the man negotiating with Nyra while others gave him a look of disapproval, but they also didn’t offer their opinion even if they had contradictory views. They were afraid they would be the next person who die in their sleep.

Nyra sneered. "Do you think you all have the chance to order us around here?"

"Then, what do you want?" They all frowned.

The aggressive girl in front of them smiled crookedly. The condescending look on her face made her appear a little crazy and fierce.

"Take out your weapons," she ordered.

All of them exchanged glances. Nyra’s words were like some kind of magic. They didn’t see anything wrong with it and took out their weapons.

"Are you after our weapons?" One of them mocked, his face full of frowns. "The Valez family is so poor they don’t have a single weapon for you?"

"How about joining the Brown family, Miss? We have better weapons."

"Yeah, we will surely say nice words about you to Mr. Brown. He will give you the best treatment then, better than the treatment from Valez family. We value powerful people."

The atmosphere suddenly shifted in an odd manner. They seemed to change their opinion about taking Nyra as an enemy and wanted to recruit her instead.

They regarded her as the group leader, even if Darren was present there.

Zerra inwardly shook her head. Based on Nyra’s personality, she wouldn’t be after simple weapons.

"No, I am not interested in your rotten weapons." Nyra scoffed. "Do use a favor and use that weapon to..." She made a throat-slashing gesture with her hand, her eyes full of disdain toward their small offer.

In an instant, the eyes of the people in the room changed. Some people were more violent and irritable compared to others. Zerra noticed these people were from the rural residential area.

At this point, she was convinced the scientist they spoke so highly of was actually doing an experiment on them since the apocalypse started.

"Do you all believe dozens of us can’t take down those impudent people?" One of the impatient ones shouted angrily. "They killed these people because the five of them had used sneak attack."

"That’s right." Flashes of realization appeared in their eyes. There was a hint of anger at being deceived. They couldn’t believe they had fallen and were suppressed by such low-level intimidation.

"Our powers have improved greatly under Mr. Brown’s guidance and his esteemed friend. We are at level five right now, the pinnacle of humanity’s current power level. What should we be afraid of?" They muttered indignantly. The words echoed through the room, igniting their spirits.

"Let’s take them down!" Someone in the crowd shouted. "Let’s show them our power!"

Thus, the dozens of ability users rushed toward Nyra and others, brandishing their weapons with the intention to kill.

"Kill them. Their crystal cores must be beneficial to all of you!" The provocation from the person continued. The greed in these people’s eyes made them go red.

Dozens of people surrounded Zerra’s group of five. Each of them unleashed their abilities and bombarded the five.

Even Zerra was a bit overwhelmed, but her teleportation skill had improved. She could now make at least seven items teleport. So, every time someone unleashed a powerful attack, she would direct it to their own crowd.

The most surprising one was actually Sean for her. His power had increased so rapidly, and he was just slightly worse than Nyra.

An hour later, dozens of corpses scattered on the floor.

Tomorrow was the day Henry would return. It would be fun what kind of face he would make when he realized most of his people were gone.
