CHAPTER 721: CHAPTER 434: SERIOUSLY ILL (PART 2)

"Are we short on manpower?" Lu Heng asked directly.

"If you’re sure about taking action, a group of Superpower Soldiers will temporarily join the Dragon Power Series. They will be transferred away once the action is over," Qi Jinhui replied nonchalantly.

"In that case, let’s proceed. I’ll personally go to Layden City," Lu Heng decided immediately.

...

At the same time.

White Eagle Alliance, Bang Mitchell State.

In a graceful manor, Ke Yiming received information from the organization, instructing him to come to this manor to meet an important figure.

His number in the Creator Organization is 025, which is quite forward, but based on the sequence, at least 24 people have a higher status than him.

Of course, some of them are already dead.

He didn’t know who he was meeting this time, but he felt that the person must have a very high status.

After entering from the gate of the manor, he had to take a car for five minutes to reach a very imposing building.

This building seemed to merge Gothic style with a sense of Renaissance solemnity.

Ke Yiming got out of the car, and in front of the building, a white man in his fifties, dressed in a suit, was waiting.

However, Ke Yiming immediately discerned that this person was not the owner here.

Sure enough, the suited white man made a gesture of invitation and said in English, "This way."

This man was clearly just a role like a butler, but his attitude was very arrogant, not even adding "please" after "This way."

Ke Yiming didn’t understand the nuances of this English phrase, but he could feel the butler’s arrogance.

He said nothing and followed the butler inside, walking through a long hallway covered in red carpet, coming to a domed hall.

However, at this moment, this domed hall was arranged as a studio.

The studio had seven or eight easels, with canvases on them. Some depicted demons, some angels, and some were indistinguishable, the artistry not exactly good, but more like an expression of stream of consciousness.

At this moment, a white male in his forties was painting one of the pictures, a paintbrush in one hand and a palette in the other.

The painting was not yet finished, but from the part that was done, one could see the color tone was dark, with the center of the canvas depicting a skull, a shiny black skull.

Upon seeing the skull on the canvas, Ke Yiming’s heart skipped a beat, because the skull clearly resembled the Bone Sovereign’s body, the "Black Crystal Skull."

His heart rate quickened, and he began to ponder all sorts of possibilities.

A coincidence?

Skull shapes can be quite similar, so it wasn’t impossible to draw a similar skull.

But from the color tone to the shape, many details matched the Black Crystal Skull’s appearance. Was it really that coincidental?

The suited butler approached the middle-aged man and respectfully reported, "Mr. Berg, the person has been brought."

This person referred to as Mr. Berg was undoubtedly the current head of the Berg Family, member number 7 of the Creator Organization, Will Berg.

Will Berg’s actual age was over fifty, but he looked like he was in his forties.

He had the classic Hebrew features, with a defined face, a high nose bridge, deep-set eyes, a neatly trimmed beard, and hair slicked back, creating a precise silhouette.

He wore a tailored shirt and vest, paired with gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the air of a financier with every gesture.

Two centuries ago, the age of great navigation led the white people, who had completed the industrial revolution, to the land now occupied by the White Eagle Federation.

They nearly wiped out the local indigenous people, becoming the new rulers of this land, establishing a new country, the White Eagle Federation.

In the early days of the White Eagle Federation, the founding head of the Berg Family created the country’s banking system, establishing the "Central Bank" of the White Eagle Federation.

Interestingly, this so-called "Central Bank" was actually a private bank.

A commercial bank with the function of issuing currency.

The Berg Family, along with several other families from the ASE Alliance, established a global financial system, reaping the world’s wealth and maintaining their capital empire.

Undoubtedly, this financial system had played a tremendous role for over a century, becoming the economic foundation for the White Eagle Federation’s global dominance.

However, this economic system, which only sought to infinitely obtain profit and harvest wealth, also planted an unsolvable hidden danger for the country.

The Human World didn’t wait for this hidden danger to erupt. Instead, it first faced the advent of the Abyss, shrouding everything under the crisis of the Abyss.

Now, the helm of this capital empire, the leader of the Berg Family, stood before him.

The suited butler, not receiving a response from his master, repeated once more, "Mr. Berg, the person has been brought."

Will Berg glanced sideways at the butler, placed the paintbrush back on the easel, then slowly picked up the palette and slammed it onto the butler’s face.

"Ah!"

The butler cried out in pain and fell, wanting to inquire why but not daring to.

Will Berg continued to smash the palette onto the butler’s face.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Again and again...

From cries of pain, the butler’s sounds turned to pleas, eventually weakening, his entire face battered and bloody, with shattered facial bones.

When there was no more sound, Will Berg stopped.

Ke Yiming stood at the side watching, shock in his eyes, but he never moved or spoke.

Because he had long heard that number 7 was mentally ill.

Now it seemed, it was quite severe.

Will Berg stood upright, used his right thumb to wipe away the blood on his eye socket, then tidied his vest with his hands, taking a few deep breaths to steady his breathing.

Then, he picked up the paintbrush, dipped it in the butler’s blood, and added two red glints to the skull on the canvas.

After finishing the last two strokes, Will Berg was very pleased with the painting, turned back to Ke Yiming, and smiled, asking, "Recognize this?"

Ke Yiming smelled the scent of blood, trying not to look at the butler’s miserable state, and replied calmly, "I recognize it."

With the two red glints painted, the skull was undoubtedly the Black Crystal Skull.

Since Will Berg could paint the Black Crystal Skull, it showed he definitely had channels to access such information.

Denying it at this point was tantamount to admitting he had a problem.

Will Berg continued to ask, "What is it?"

Ke Yiming bowed his head to answer, "This is the body of the Bone Sovereign, Leoric, known as the Black Crystal Skull."

Will Berg held the painting palette with both hands, lifted it to examine it closely, and praised, "What a beautiful piece of art."

Ke Yiming remained still, his body tense, because he didn’t know if this madman in front of him would go crazy again.

As for the praised "art piece," Ke Yiming was unsure if he was praising the painting or the Black Crystal Skull.

Will Berg admired it for a while, then placed the palette back, asking, "How did it die?"

"What?" Ke Yiming didn’t understand what the question was about.

"How did the Bone Sovereign die?" Will Berg clarified the question further.

"I...don’t know. I was on another side of the battlefield and didn’t see the specific combat process, only that it was killed by that Superpower User called Lu Heng from Da Xia."
