Endless Debt-Chapter 140 - 90: Annual Best New Employee

Geoffrey was supposed to be a bearer of darkness, yet an unstoppable light burned upon David.

He stepped out of the office, stood on the elevated corridor, calling forth the Shadow Beasts.

Roaring sounds came from all directions, charging at Bologue. At this moment, there was no need to find that hidden Condenser, as David decided to join forces with Bill to first assassinate Bologue.

If Palmer acted now, then he was completely exposed. If he didn’t rescue Bologue, David would take the opportunity to eliminate this obstacle first.

Everything was envisioned beautifully, but they couldn’t possibly anticipate facing an enemy who wouldn’t die.

Bill endured the excruciating pain and raised his fist, intending to completely crush Bologue. The surrounding Shadow Beasts also blocked all escape routes.

To them, it seemed a deadlock; Bologue had no hope of surviving, and Bologue himself realized it. He had nowhere to hide... yet he never intended to evade.

Are you laughing?

Bill looked at those fearsome eyes, perplexed as to why he sensed an emotion of joy within them, as if another more terrifying trap awaited him next.

He couldn’t understand, but there was no need to ponder further.

Heavy fists descended, instantly shrouding Bologue’s silhouette in smoke and dust as the ground trembled, with the ensuing Shadow Beasts gnawing at Bologue’s body.

David felt it; he was a Condenser of the Illusion Creation school, able to conjure Shadow Beasts from darkness to fight for him, and could even share in the Shadow Beasts’ senses.

From the moment Bologue stepped into the factory, he entered the territory of the Shadow Beasts. It was never Demons defending this factory, but rather those Illusion Creations wandering in the darkness.

A fanatical smile emerged on his face. With the Shadow Beasts’ senses, David felt as if he himself had torn Bologue to pieces, this exhilarating sense of slaughter wiping away previous rage and anger, and until Bologue’s death, nothing unusual occurred on the battlefield.

Bologue’s comrades didn’t come to his rescue, as if Bologue had been alone all along, and as if after Bologue’s death, they abandoned the fight, or perhaps... they were waiting for this chance, the opportunity of Bologue’s demise.

As David considered this possibility, gunshots rang out.

First, there was the wild wind brushing against his cheek, followed by the delayed intense pain, as blood gushed forth, and David, in a daze, felt his own body temperature drop by a few degrees.

Upon this battlefield, another star ignited, Ether surged forth.

The moment of Bologue’s death was also when David lowered his guard; Palmer seized this opportunity to pull the trigger. Yet it was unclear if David noticed something or if Palmer was consistently unlucky.

As the bullet was about to blow David’s head off, this guy unexpectedly moved a bit, just a slight motion, causing the bullet meant to explode David’s head to graze his neck instead, ripping through a large piece of flesh, leaving blood splattering.

"From above!"

David shouted with all his might, his voice distorted and hoarse, spilling more blood. freeweɓnovel-cøm

Thanks to his realization of this assassination possibility at the last moment, otherwise, David would already be a corpse.

He felt his throat was shattered, the cold wind rushing into his respiratory tract from the wound, one hand covering the wound trying to stop the bleeding while deep darkness assaulted David’s body, wrapping him up.

While David protected himself, Palmer did not cease firing, laughing loudly.

"This is way more useful than Secret Energy!"

Having emptied all bullets, even though David tried to flee, the earlier bullets accurately hit his arm, torso, until the Shadow Beasts surrounded him, only then the remaining bullets were blocked by the solidified darkness.

"Come to me!"

Bill shouted toward the writhing darkness, with his Hardening, conventional gunshots couldn’t hurt him, all that remained was for David to command the Shadow Beasts to tear the enemy apart.

If David and Kedening shared a friendship relationship, then Bill and David were comrades on the battlefield. Bill’s Secret Energy could withstand most damage, using himself to probe the enemy’s abilities, then letting David’s treacherous Shadow Beasts kill the opponent. With their coordination, they had slain countless strong foes.

Bill believed tonight would be the same; they wouldn’t lose.

Heart-wrenching pain came from the back, with a chilling spectral voice sounding behind.

"What are you looking at?"

Bologue gripped a sharp piece of metal, thrusting it straight into Bill’s body.

The sharp metal injured Bill while also cutting Bologue’s hand. He tried to pierce further, but those intricate patterns had illuminated from the wound, preventing Bologue from advancing another inch.

It was unavoidable. Once Secret Energy was used, the Ether fluctuations would inevitably draw Bill’s attention, so Bologue could only grab some random object to stab him.

"How could this be?" Bill couldn’t believe it.

"Friend, the world is vast, and impossible things are plentiful."

Bologue laughed as he cast a hook, swiftly departing Bill’s side. This guy possessed immense strength but lacked speed.

After becoming a Condenser, Bologue had posed a question to Geoffrey. If his "Resurrection" consumed Ether, then during his self-healing and revival, it would definitely cause Ether fluctuations, alerting other Condensers. Yet, in battle with Norm, he seemed completely unaware of this.
