"All units, this is Command. We have an immediate priority task. There is a student by the name of Mo Fan, repeat, Mo Fan. Your orders are to locate him amidst the ongoing situation and ensure his safe extraction to the designated safe zone. Exercise extreme caution and confirm his identity before proceeding. Report once he's secured. Command out."
The voice from the magical equipment, put on speaker, echoed through the broken building. Men clad in black cloaks all focused on the voice from the device Bai Yang, dressed in military uniform, was holding.
Amidst the black-cloaked individuals, his figure was distinctive, but his face was equally as grim as the others as they heard the news.
"Mo Fan? That dual-elemental kid? That son of a bitch again," Bai Yang cursed fiercely upon hearing the news, as he put the device away and looked at the others.
"That motherfucker..." One of the individuals in black clothing whispered softly, clenching his fists in anger. His features were distinct, as he was the only one among them whose face was covered with bandages.
"Where is that fucker now? I'd go myself to kill him and retrieve the Holy Spring!" The man couldn't help but snarl with a twisted voice, looking directly at Bai Yang with ferocity.
"No, you won't. We have to guard the underground entrance to let more beasts inside. Bai Yang, you will go alone and retrieve the Holy Spring."
"But—"
"No buts. It's just a kid. Bai Yang can handle him; we have our roles to fulfill."
Yu Ang, the individual clad in black, glared fiercely at the hawk-nosed man—their leader—but kept quiet. His hands unconsciously moved towards his face, which was still stinging.
Yu Ang, the adoptive son of Mu Zhuoyun, the so-called genius of Bo City, was actually a spy planted by the Black Vatican a decade ago to be rescued and adopted by Mu Zhuoyun.
This was to have him prove his worth to the Mu Clan of Bo City and get a chance to enter the underground Holy Spring and steal it for the Black Vatican.
For this plan and reason, the members of the Black Vatican had been waiting until today to commence their attack, but after Yu Ang's defeat by the no-name Mo Fan, the plan had to take a turn for the worse.
Yu Ang, for his incompetence and failure, was punished by Salang and had his head dipped into acid ghost water, making his face unrecognizable.
For the complete fall of Bo City, the underground Holy Spring was necessary to fall into the hands of the Black Vatican. The underground Holy Spring contains miraculous powers and is very attractive to monsters. If it fell into the Black Vatican's hands, they would use its scent to attract all commander-rank beasts within a hundred kilometers of Bo City, creating a disaster.
This is why the water of the Spring is so important to these people, and until they are able to secure the water for themselves, the people of the Vatican are now focusing on the beast entrances created by the monsters after decades of work below the city.
Using these networks, the beasts from outside the city are able to enter easily, bypassing security, making the city an even more dangerous place to live in than the stronghold of Snowy Peaks Mountain.
Damon, naturally aware of this threat, had still followed the shelter within the city, which, for the time being, was relatively safer than the stronghold. This was because of the presence of Zhang Kong. Sure, the military might be more concentrated there, but besides Zhang Kong, who is the strongest and the best mage in the city today, what could be a safer place?
Moreover, there was another reason for Damon to follow them into the city.
'Well, how foolish...'
Listening to the Black Vatican group and hearing their plans, Damon had the urge to laugh out loud. Seriously, this was their plan? To have a kid work like a slave for ten years to enter the Holy Spring and steal it for them?
Seriously, what's wrong with the brains of these people? The Black Vatican, who had broken the safest prisons in the world and stolen from the strongest vaults, had to use this childish plan that is full of loopholes?
Haven't they considered that Yu Ang might be less talented than others and wouldn't be allowed, or that rules and traditions might change over the years? They could have just sent a stronger person—well, one or two supermages are already present—and stolen the Spring themselves, destroying the city once and for all. But no, they had to waste decades on such things.
'Sigh... anyway, is it time for us to shine?'
Damon thought with a smirk as he observed the group. With his map, he had already noticed Bai Yang escaping from the safe areas and the Black Vatican members gathering here.
In short, he could have told Zhang Kong and the military to deal with this, but then, how would he even convince them? He couldn't just go and say, "I know where they are gathering! Let's go fuck them over!"
No, it would raise suspicion for him to know so much about their location in this near-apocalypse scenario. So, yeah, Damon had just volunteered himself and decided to take care of this simple and annoying matter on his own. Not to mention, his hands were itching for some action, and he needed something to let his frustration out.
Damon looked over his shoulder and signaled the four peak intermediate-level bodyguards to take action.
'Well then, let's start the party!'
