Chapter 831: Chapter 83: Three Punches! (2)

Lacking the ability to care for oneself means that there’s a high probability of symptoms like "incontinence"...

Thus, Sun Hang almost experienced the feeling of "getting crap poured over his head."

Narrowly avoiding the filth falling from above, Sun Hang casually tossed the female hunter’s limp body into the carriage at his feet, repeating once more, "Everyone! Surrender and you won’t be killed!"

"Re-really not going to kill us?" A hesitant mercenary lowered his weapon.

In fact, having tangled with Candle Dragon for so long without success had them in a real bind. And the indiscriminate slaughter by the beastified female hunter had them internally cursing Sand Bramble Rose’s ancestors over and over.

And now, the Hunter from the Dubhe Tower, who was supposed to be dead, somehow "came back to life," punched out the frenzied TK beastified female hunter, and then made this "surrender and you won’t be killed" declaration, becoming that final straw that broke the camel’s back.

"See, it was this female lunatic who killed all these people, and even this lunatic, I only beat her half to death, didn’t take her life." Sun Hang shrugged, "Isn’t that obvious enough?"

"You only promised no kill upon surrender... but you didn’t guarantee you won’t hand us over to the Hunter Administration Bureau or some official organization like Dubhe Tower." A calm female voice said over the public communication channel.

"Do you want to know who anonymously paid you?" Sun Hang smiled and asked.

"Who?"

"A mercenary organization called ’Bone Breakers.’

"It was them?" Everyone immediately looked around but didn’t spot the Bone Breakers’ vehicle.

"Where are they now?" The calm female voice asked again.

"Dead." Sun Hang stretched out his palm, and a gold chain hung down from his palm, with a green crystal fang at the end of it, "As the instigators, they are the ones who deserve to die."

That green crystal pendant was recognized by quite a few hunters present, as it was the treasured possession of Old Snake—Bone Breakers had three squads, and the second squad, which participated in this operation, was the most active. Although the soul of the second squad was "Spectacles," the number two person in Bone Breakers, the most famous one was the hunter nicknamed "Old Snake."

Notorious but still famous.

"If you can guarantee our personal safety and freedom afterward, I can surrender." A woman in a moon-white cheongsam emerged from a sunroof of an all-terrain off-road vehicle, raising her hands.

"You’re with Sand Bramble Rose, right?"

"Yes." The cheongsam woman nodded, speaking very calmly, "My code name is ’Suyue,’ I belong to the ninth squad of Sand Bramble Rose, and our squad leader is Third Sister, the beastified female hunter you just subdued."

"I always thought you were the leader of this group." Sun Hang sized up Suyue, saying.

"Like most Free Hunters and mercenary organizations, Sand Bramble Rose respects strength. The strongest among us is Third Sister, so she’s the leader. I’m just her strategist and deputy."

"Oh, I get it, a sort of consigliere, right?"

Suyue didn’t deny the "consigliere" evaluation, implicitly admitting it.

The description wasn’t wrong. Third Sister was impulsive and easily entered a beastified state due to emotional agitation, not suitable as a team leader.

Besides assisting Third Sister in managing the squad in her normal state, she was also tasked with taking over command after Third Sister became beastified. Moreover, she was secretly assigned a special mission: if the beastified Third Sister completely lost control, it would be up to her to execute the final act.

She was the hidden controller of Sand Bramble Rose’s ninth squad, and the "fuse."

"Alright, in the name of Dubhe Tower, I declare that we will not hold anyone accountable for participating in this raid... in other words, we can pretend this incident never happened."

"Alright, on behalf of Sand Bramble Rose, I declare surrender." Suyue’s response was very decisive.

After Suyue announced her surrender, several vehicles belonging to Sand Bramble Rose naturally signaled their surrender as well.

As for the other participating Free Hunters and mercenaries, they had no reason to continue fighting—if it weren’t for Sun Hang’s intervention, they might already have been killed by Sand Bramble Rose’s beastified female hunter.

Strictly speaking, Sun Hang had "saved" them twice.

Realizing they couldn’t first eliminate Candle Dragon, these people knew the hastily decided raid action was probably a failure and that even if they didn’t die in action, their lives would likely never be peaceful afterward... criminal hunters wanted by Dubhe Tower, even in lawless places like Yumen, rarely survived.

After all, the high reward from Dubhe Tower was enough for other Free Hunters to see them as more valuable prey than rare anomalies in the wilderness.

Originally on a dead-end path, with Dubhe Tower’s Hunter suddenly announcing they could offer them a way out, even with lingering doubts, they had no better choice.

"Just going to let them go like that?" Ya Qiaoxi furrowed her brow slightly, "This is rebellion... according to Dubhe Tower’s rules..."

"The rules of Dubhe Tower, now he decides them," Candle Dragon said with a wry smile.

"Him? Who? Sun Hang?"

...

"May I boldly ask two questions?" As Sand Bramble Rose’s vehicles slowly approached, Suyue stared unblinkingly at Sun Hang and asked in a very sincere tone.

"Go ahead." Sun Hang easily leaped onto their car, and his body ghost-like passed through the roof, taking a seat in the rear seat.

Suyue’s breathing quickened slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and sat down beside Sun Hang.

Moreover, she pretended to nonchalantly lift the hem of her cheongsam, deliberately or unintentionally showing her long jade legs to Sun Hang.

The beauty trap is a cliché tactic, yet a very effective one.

At least for Suyue, the success rate of this method is nearly 100%.

The only time it failed was when she hadn’t figured out the target’s sexual orientation beforehand.

Suyue rarely tried to flatter or seduce men like those ordinary beauties; she was skilled at maintaining this intellectual and gentle persona... From a certain perspective, this image of a good family girl was more tempting to men than women dressed boldly and provocatively.

But to Suyue’s surprise, the man’s gaze didn’t linger on her legs for even a fraction of a second.

Could he like men? Suyue couldn’t help recalling her previous failure.

"Ask away." Sun Hang casually picked up an empty briefcase nearby, fiddling with it.

"What is Dubhe Tower’s real purpose in participating in this treasure hunt?" Seeing that the beauty trap didn’t work, Suyue could only speak seriously, "Since you sent people to join the operation directly, why offer such a high price to purchase the information?"

"Before I tell you the correct answer, could you tell me your hypothesis?" Sun Hang opened the briefcase, took out the syringe inside, and sniffed it.

Yuck, a scent akin to cilantro, making him uncomfortable—Sun Hang almost immediately figured out that the contents of this syringe were similar to the Beastification Inhibitor Mr. Wang once used.

It’s just that this thing’s effectiveness was less than the one Mr. Wang used. After all, back when Mr. Wang used Beastification Inhibitor, Sun Hang could smell it from ten meters away.

"I suspect... I just suspect," a hint of hesitation flickered in Suyue’s eyes, "that this might be... a trap."
