Revenge After Death

Back in the villa.

Lorne continued to summon the two sisters, trying to communicate with them telepathically and teach her more.

On the other side, Li Chong, who had returned to his residence at the outpost, received a call from his mother. Li Chong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and accepted the call. The screen changed and a cold, middle-aged woman's face appeared.

"Li Chong, you're getting more and more unmotivated!"

Li Chong's mother, the black-level demon suppression envoy of the Jiang City Demon Department, Li Luoyun, was looking at her son on the other side of the screen. She was so angry that she started cursing.

"Mom, don't scold me. I've already lost face today!" Li Chong said with an aggrieved look.

"Embarrassed? You still know that you're embarrassed?! I'm so thick-skinned now!"

Li Luoyun did not soften his tone just because of his son's aggrieved look. She continued to scold her son loudly. Her fierce look scared Li Chong so much that he shrank his neck and did not dare to speak. Li Luoyun reprimanded his son for more than a quarter of an hour before it ended.

"Alright, don't bother about that Lorne."

Before hanging up, Li Luoyun said with a straight face, "My son is not so easy to bully! Lorne thinks that he's arrogant just because he has some talent. Does he really think that Zhu Yuehong can do whatever she wants just because she likes him?"

Hearing his mother mention Zhu Yuehong, Li Chong said worriedly, "Mom, since Lorne is favored by Zhu Yuehong, will something happen if we touch him?"

Hearing this, Li Luoyun sneered.

"Don't worry. Zhu Yuehong came here with a special mission this time. She doesn't have time to care about a newcomer.

"Moreover, even if it's Zhu Yuehong, she can't do anything to our family without evidence!"

"In that case, Mom, how do you plan to deal with Lorne?" Li Chong looked curiously at his mother in the video.

"You don't have to worry about that." Li Luoyun glared at his son.

"You just have to work hard to improve your strength. If the bond between you and the elves isn't strong enough, it's useless no matter how strong the elves are. Remember today's lesson, do you hear me?"

"I got it, Mom." Li Chong nodded, looking obedient.

"Alright, I still have something to do. I'm hanging up."

The video ended. Li Chong also heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Lorne, let's see how long you can be proud of yourself!"

...

The next day, in the morning.

Lorne woke up early. After washing his face, brushing his teeth, and having a simple breakfast, he went out.

Although he slept very late last night, his strengthened body was different from before. After only three hours of sleep, he was still full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all.

'I can take on a grade-B mission today. With my current strength, it should be no problem,' Lorne thought to himself.

He took his phone and walked out of the outpost. Missions with higher levels would not be accepted by others very quickly. He also had to consider whether he could handle it with his own strength.

Lorne took out his phone and opened the mission hall. After it refreshed, a few clean-up missions marked [B+] were refreshed at the top of the mission list.

Lorne quickly tapped on the screen and directly tapped on two B+ missions, confirming that he had accepted the mission. A notification popped up on the screen, [ Mission accepted ]. Lorne smiled.

"Three grade-B missions appeared at once. Why do the demons around Jiang City feel more active recently?"

Lorne did not know if this was a good sign or not. No matter what, it did not affect him from completing the mission to earn experience and contribution points.

Lorne rode on his motorcycle and opened the map. Then, he followed the navigation and headed to the location of the closest of the two missions.

Twenty minutes later, Lorne arrived at the marked location of the mission. This was an old camp site left behind by humans in the early days of the terrifying recovery era. It was only a dozen kilometers away from Jiang City. One could still vaguely see some of the architectural features from the past.

After Lorne arrived, a middle-aged spirit envoy came up to him.

"Such a young spirit envoy, you must be Brother Lorne!"

The middle-aged spirit envoy clearly recognized Lorne and said with a smile, "If it's you, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Where's the demon?" Lorne asked.

The middle-aged spirit envoy turned around and pointed at the ruins behind him, saying, "It's in the depths of this ruins. A few spirit envoys have already been killed. At the beginning, the mission rating was grade-B, but we underestimated this demon's strength. In fact, it already has the strength of a peak level-4."

At this point, the middle-aged spirit envoy had a look of lingering fear on his face. He had wanted to accept the mission, but he did not get it.

In the end, he survived. The spirit envoy who got the mission was forever lying inside!

"Walk a little deeper and you'll see a church. If you get close to the church, you'll enter the other party's magical realm. I'm not too sure about the specific situation inside, but you have to be careful."

The middle-aged spiritual envoy reminded him.

Lorne nodded and instructed the middle-aged spiritual envoy to wait outside. Then, he walked into the ruins.

After Lorne had walked far away, the middle-aged spiritual envoy standing outside suddenly took out his phone and sent a message.

[ I've found Lorne. He just accepted a grade-B clean-up mission. I've sent you the location. ]

After the message was sent, a reply came quickly from the other side.

[ After confirming, I'll give you the 500 contribution points that we agreed on beforehand. Stay there for now, don't leave! ]

Seeing the contents of the message on the phone, the middle-aged spirit envoy smiled knowingly. He then closed the screen and put the phone into his pocket. He turned around and looked at the ruins behind him.

'Sorry! I need this contribution point. If you die, don't blame me,' the middle-aged spirit envoy thought.

At the same time, in a villa in Outpost No. 12, four spirit envoys were getting ready to leave.

"Although the target is a newcomer, his elf's strength is very likely to have reached level-4. Moreover, he isn't the kind that relies on resources to increase his strength. You should know how to deal with a genius like him who has been trained by using his abilities. Don't give him any chance. Strive to kill him in one hit!"

A middle-aged man with a ferocious knife scar on his face said in a deep voice.
