Chapter 61 Planting A Seed



Edward saw the entire interaction and started to frown a bit at Zen\'s action, thinking that it was a bit too intimate. He just felt deeply in his heart that this person had malicious intent.

Following the conversation between Crystal and Zen, she returned to where Edward was and talked with him, providing him with an explanation of the what she and Zen discussed. Furthermore, she admitted that Zen is in possession of their family\'s artifact.

Upon hearing her words, Edward was so taken aback that he involuntarily clenched his fist and exclaimed, "What?! Why have you never told me about this before?"

Thinking that she might be hiding something more from him, he asked her again. "Is there anything else I should know about? I\'ll go confront that Zenryx and take it away from him."

"No! What are you even saying? Did you even hear me say that he will help us with the Doom Order."

"What makes you think he will help us? I\'ve always felt something was wrong with that guy. I\'m sure he has bad intentions."

Hearing this, she couldn\'t help but blush a little bit, recollecting the words Zen had whispered into her ear.

Edward saw this and said, "Wait… Don\'t tell me he had another condition other than you helping him activate the artifact?"

Seeing that she was silent, he switched his attention towards Zen with bulging eyes, who was standing behind Crystal.

"Hey! You! What conditions did you tell her?"

Zen was watching them talk from the sidelines, but then Edward spoke to him in an angry tone.

"Nothing really. I am merely suggesting something of a straightforward nature," Zen replied, accompanied by an enigmatic grin.

"Regardless, return that artifact to us. That item is the property of our family. I am prepared to compensate you for it."

"Hmmm? What makes you think I\'m inclined to sell it to you?" Zen is questioning Edwards stupidity.

\'Does he think I lack money or something, and Why would I give something that will just make the protagonist stronger? Hahahha The f*ck\' Zen thought, ridiculing him internally.

After a prolonged exchange of arguments. Edward\'s composure reached its breaking point as he drew his sword with the intention of striking Zen.

Zen deftly evaded the attack and swiftly delivered a powerful kick, propelling him a distance of twenty meters.

Observing that the situation was escalating, Eliza and Crystal ultimately intervened in an attempt to quell their altercation.

Crystal rushed to Zen\'s side and pursued him "Hey, Zenryx, let my brother go this time. I don\'t know what has gotten to him today. He seems like a different person."

Eliza additionally proceeded to go to Edward and check on him, who had been forcefully sent back. The impact of Zen\'s kick inflicted some slight injuries on him.

\'What the hell? Is this protagonist really this weak? I didn\'t even use much strength, and he\'s done just like that? That\'s crazy.\'

[Please don\'t be conceited, host.]

[Huh? Why are you talking suddenly? You\'ve become a bit talkative recently; why is that?]

[…]

Edward stood up, forcefully moved Eliza aside, and brandished his sword towards Zen once more, resolutely expressing his desire to fight him again.

"Again, You bastard!"

"…"

All three of them were rendered speechless upon hearing him articulate absurdities at this moment. He clearly can\'t defeat Zen, but what the hell was he thinking?

But Zen didn\'t want to continue any longer, as he remembered that in the novels he read, the protagonist would always break through their level of power at critical moments. So he wanted to prevent such things from happening.

Until updating the system to version 3.0, Destiny posited that all such issues would be effectively resolved, so he simply had to wait until that time.

Zen simply disregarded him and proceeded to depart, intending to return to the professor. However, before he turned away, he conveyed, while pointing at Professor Hawkin,

"Head north; that old man over there told me that the Duke armies are there; you all should be able to meet up with them." acting like he was a benevolent human being with morals.

After Zen left, Eliza suddenly spoke to Edward, asking, "Edward, why are you so hostile towards him? He doesn\'t seem to be a bad person."

"Hmmph, Don\'t judge a book by its cover. He is definitely hiding his intentions deeply."

Crystal also returned to Edward\'s side after persuading Zen to let her brother go. "Brother, what the hell are you thinking? Are you really going to be like this?"

"Crystal, don\'t be fooled; be wary of that Zenryx!"

"Why? He even told us a safe path to head to, to avoid fighting those beasts."

In reality, Zen harbored the intention of preventing Edward from engaging in combat, in the event that he unexpectedly achieved the rank of Peak Intermediate, which Zen did not want happening.

Seeing how stubborn her brother was, she just left him behind and started heading north, where Zen told them to go.

In the end, Zen found contentment in the conclusion he envisioned. He would slowly break their relationships apart until the point where they would kill each other.

The beast outbreak was almost solved, but the whereabouts of the Tier One Wendigo remained unknown.

All high ranking individuals were duly notified of its appearance within the Twilight Zone by the professors.

They diligently combed through every crevice and recess, yet their efforts proved fruitless in locating it.

After effectively killing all the beasts in the town, Zen decided to rendezvous with Marie and request her assistance in conducting investigative inquiries.

Hawkin subsequently returned to the Academy to report to the Dean of Pontiac Academy regarding the events that transpired.

The loss of life resulting from this catastrophic incident amounts to hundreds of thousands of fatalities.

Everyone was befuddled as to the origins of the sudden outbreak, employing their cognitive faculties to ascertain the underlying factors responsible for such an occurrence.

However, it remained an enigma as to how an unforeseen Tier one entity abruptly appeared and triggered an outbreak.

Therefore, Zen wanted to initiate an investigation, with the Guild Hunter Association serving as his primary source of information since the founder of that organization is affiliated with the Doom Order.
