Modi, who had a stiff smile on his face, was about to say something when a tremendous force slammed into his waist.
The numerous defensive force fields were completely useless as they were completely shattered.
Modi listened to the sounds of his spine snapping, the sounds of his muscles and tendons twisting, and the laughter of his internal organs shattering. He could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
“2567！”
Modi growled.
He was filled with rage and confusion.
Modi was angry at his men for being useless, allowing Kieran to sneak in freely.
Modi didn't understand why the traps he set up didn't work.
Based on what Modi knew, Kieran should be an extremely greedy fella. But why was Kieran so indifferent towards the lab that obviously had precious items?
On top of that, the elite wolves he set up to trigger the trap didn't work either.
However, none of that infuriated Modi the most.
What infuriated him the most was when he saw Kieran's gaze.
It was a calm gaze, as if Kieran didn't care about him at all.
Such a gaze made Modi feel like an idiot.
In fact …
It was almost the same.
After noticing all sorts of clues, with Kieran's vigilant and careful nature, he wouldn't have entered the secret bazaar recklessly.
It was true that Kieran liked spoils of war.
But Kieran wouldn't let it get to his head. He had the calmness he should have.
Just like when he saw the wolf pack, his heart unconsciously wondered why it was a pack of wolves. Although their strength might seem powerful to normal people, it was nothing to him.
In fact, from a certain point of view, he was the least afraid of group battles.
With the Chosen One's abilities and items, it wasn't hard for him to face many enemies.
Kieran knew it very well.
He also believed his opponent knew it very well.
And under such circumstances, his opponent still did it.
Then, there was only one possibility left: a trap.
His opponent had prepared a trap specifically for him as a Chosen One, similar to how he targeted his greed.
Such a targeted trap would be extremely effective.
But it was also very easy to break through.
Kieran was glad that he had many means to deal with the crisis that had just occurred.
Of course, there was no need for so many tricks right now.
The most straightforward method would do.
"I …"
Pa!
Modi wanted to say something more.
But before he could say a word, his head was crushed by Kieran's kick.
Modi's head burst open and his body fell to the ground. However, no notifications popped up. Instead, his body shriveled at an exponential speed visible to the naked eye.
Kieran was not surprised after learning from Holler's mistake.
Kieran would only be surprised and puzzled if he really wanted to kill his opponent with a single strike.
However, it didn't stop Kieran from searching the entire secret hideout.
Even if Kieran did not have high hopes for such a search.
But sometimes, surprises come when you least expect it. After discovering many common resources and equipment, Kieran's gaze naturally landed on the box on the ground.
After a quick check, Kieran opened the box.
An orange blueprint appeared before Kieran's eyes.
[Name: Brand. Strengthen Fur (Wolf, Canine)]
[Type: Skill]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Strengthen Fur Lvl 1 to Lvl 3 (Undergo a Constitution authentication based on the branded wolf or canine's Constitution. Lvl 1 will automatically grant a Weak rank force field barrier. Lvl 2 will automatically grant an Average rank force field barrier. Lvl 3 will automatically grant a Strong rank force field barrier. The barrier will consume the branded wolf or canine's Stamina)]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Master), Research of Mystical Beings (Basic)]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: This is a special Magic Scroll. It contains a very obscure and special enchantment knowledge. If you have the skills of tattooing, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, you will need to prepare the corresponding Magic materials, including Bladeback Blue, diamond, black oil ore, etc.]
…
"Tattooing. Brand?"
Kieran looked at the description of the blueprint in astonishment.
Then, he chose to learn it straight away.
Different from the description of the skills that he had before, [Brand. Strengthen Fur (Wolf, Canine)] didn't just exist as an item description, it couldn't be leveled up either.
Strengthening Fur Lvl 3 seemed to be the limit.
A Strong rank defensive force field could be easily broken by Kieran's current strength.
However, Kieran didn't seem to be upset about it.
It wasn't just because it was a pleasant surprise, it was also because he thought of the wolf pack from before.
If the wolves that had already submitted to him were branded, then it would naturally be a good thing for him, who was currently alone and powerless.
At least he wouldn't have to worry about normal incidents anymore.
The only thing he had to confirm now was the price of Bladeback Blue and black oil ore.
As for the diamond?
It would be priceless no matter where it was.
…
Inside a dark cave, a fishy stench filled the air.
Animal and human skeletons were all over the place.
Even though his body was hunched, he still appeared extremely tall and big. He was holding an antelope and eating it.
The antelope wasn't cooked at all, it was eaten raw meat and blood.
The man ate it very fast.
The antelope was turned into a clean pile of bones after a few minutes.
The skin, organs, everything, the man didn't even spare it, he ate everything.
It was natural that the man's face was tainted with blood but he didn't mind it at all. He wiped his face and placed his palm in front of his face, sucking the blood clean.
Until then, the man in a long robe beside him dared to speak.
"My lord, there's a new sheriff in Shatterstone Town, our informant has been removed.
And … "
"There's an unusual wolf pack around the secret bazaar outside Shatterstone Town."
The man in a long robe reported the information he just received.
"Got it."
The tall man waved his hand.
The man quickly left the cave.
After his men left, Darde started to speculate with an interested tone.
"The new sheriff?
“2567？”
Or … "
Darde then turned his attention to the dried body beside him.
Darde's not-so-strong Intuition allowed him to sense the changes inside the dried body.
A while later, the dried body was filled with flesh and blood.
“2567！”
A furious roar sounded.
Modi's face was distorted, he was growling like a wounded beast.
As for Darde, he just leaned back and watched Modi's performance.
Darde didn't know whether Modi was really angry or faking it but regardless of which, he wouldn't believe it.
Broker wasn't trustworthy.
Modi before him was the same.
Likewise, Modi didn't care about Darde either. After a series of loud roars, he left the cave without a word.
Both of them didn't seem like a normal working relationship.
And after Modi left.
A voice sounded in Darde's ears.
"Noticed anything?"
"Nope."
Darde grinned, his big eyes were glimmering like a wild beast.
