「Five minutes ago.」

Inside the Nine-Phase Divine Bottle, after checking the Attributes of the new Divine Artifact he had acquired, Shen Fei immediately accepted the Divine Artifact Link requests from the others. He released all the athletes who had been "locked" in the stadium from their shackles. The moment the links were opened, the athletes were extracted one after another. In almost an instant, the half-demolished stadium was completely empty.

Earlier, a wave of Country F’s citizens who could still move freely had already fled. Then, Country F’s Divine Artifact wielder and his retainers were all instantly killed by Shen Fei. Now, the athletes who had been imprisoned in the stadium had also vanished completely. After Magnus’s death, the Demon army he had summoned also dissipated in an instant. As a result, there wasn’t a single person left in Shen Fei’s line of sight.

All that remained were the ravaged ruins left by the battle and the still-burning, verdant green flames. As the epicenter of the Demon army’s attack, the area within a twenty to thirty-kilometer radius of the stadium had been razed to the ground. Beyond that, a large part of the city behind it had also been carved with countless chasms by Magnus’s Battle Blade. This central city of Country F was now basically a wasteland.

The only thing that interested Shen Fei was that his Detection had picked up a large city still standing 100 kilometers away. Moreover, this large city’s Shield had been activated long ago. This was the large Neutral City that Country F had previously been gifted by the National Treasure Divine Artifact. Holding the Divine Artifact, Shen Fei could even feel a faint connection between the [Napoleon Knight’s Power] in his hand and the distant city.

"Hm?"

Standing alone in the stadium and surveying his surroundings, Shen Fei was surprised to receive another Divine Artifact Link request. Just a moment ago, after the various countries had retrieved their people, they had immediately disconnected the links. Shouldn’t they be taking care of their own athletes?

But when he saw that the Divine Artifact Link request was actually from 0, Shen Fei thought for a moment before accepting the link. With a WHOOSH, 0 teleported over, and then he was dumbfounded!

The moment 0 appeared and greeted him, Shen Fei was completely caught off guard as she started stomping her feet and exploded in fury!

"Scumbag!"

"Scumbag!"

"Scumbag!"

"Scumbag!"

"Scumbag!"

Stomping her feet, 0 furiously pointed a delicate, pale hand at Shen Fei and screamed a string of accusations. This left Shen Fei completely bewildered.

What is going on?? Is it because I didn’t hold a vigil for V? Or what? Does she have to be this worked up? What’s wrong with her??

Shen Fei had only been willing to bring 0 over because he wanted to talk to her about the Super Boss’s unusual behavior. From his fight with Magnus, he might not have learned much else, but he now knew that a Super Boss who immediately rushes to a special zone upon being inherited is definitely something to be wary of. Especially since there happened to be a special zone right where their [Ninth Network] was located. And what’s more, he had broken through that special zone. Furthermore, the Little Tree People that had emerged from that special zone had even kneeled before him. This was more than enough to put Shen Fei on high alert.

But he never expected that before he could even start the conversation, she would just explode the moment she arrived. Watching 0’s gestures and hearing the words she was shouting, Shen Fei felt a bit flustered.

"Scumbag!"

"Scumbag!"

"Scumbag!"

Across from Shen Fei, 0 was like a frantic little hen, circling him, pointing her finger, and yelling furiously. The instant she teleported over, she had sensed within Shen Fei’s body the aura of another woman. And it was the aura of a woman that was alluring, passionate, and still held the lingering traces of lust.

Having mastered the special ability of the Ethereum Editor, 0’s perception of her surroundings was exceptionally subtle and clear. She never imagined that on Shen Fei’s person there would be such a strong, seductive female aura. It hadn’t even been half an hour since she and Shen Fei had parted ways. Shen Fei had left Mist City, been briefly delayed in Qing City, and then came straight to Country F. 0 couldn’t believe that in such a short amount of time, Shen Fei had gone and done *this*.

With this strong aura and the lingering lust, you’re telling me you didn’t do anything? Who are you trying to fool, a ghost?! Just before, who was it that cried his eyes out in the [Mist City] City Lord’s Mansion when V committed suicide? And who was it? Who shouted that he wouldn’t marry anyone but V in this lifetime? And who was it that was wailing and grieving, utterly devastated by V’s suicide? And yet, you leave [Mist City], and not even half an hour later, you go and do *this*? If that doesn’t make you a scumbag, what does??

Originally, 0 had only called Shen Fei a scumbag because he was always in such a rush to leave. Like a scumbag, he’d show up in a whirlwind and leave just as quickly, without even a goodbye. But now, her furious roars came from a genuine belief that Shen Fei was a scumbag.

Although, although, although Shen Fei’s girlfriend was V, and it didn’t have much to do with her, 0. But in fact, from a certain perspective, she and V were one and the same. And although she was sure she didn’t have feelings for Shen Fei herself, Shen Fei’s move—turning around and finding someone new just like that—still made 0 absolutely furious!

This, this is absolutely unforgivable!! Even if I’m not V, I’m still V’s big sister! I’m your sister-in-law!! How dare you do this?? Was all your hysterical crying in [Mist City] a lie?? Scumbag!!!!!

Furious, 0 could only express her rage with a thunderous voice and exaggerated gestures.
