BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 Take Back What Was Lost
The woman angrily looked back and locked eyes with David, who was patting Cola\'s head. And in Cola\'s mouth, it held the crystal of the zombie!
"[Detected crystal of the Shadow element! ]"
Cola obediently placed the crystal in David\'s palm. David\'s heart stirred, and the crystal in his hand was stored in his pocket dimension.
[You obtained one Intermediate Crystal, Critical Hit x100 in effect! ]
[Congratulations, you obtained one hundred Intermediate Crystals! ]
[Attribute: Shadow element! ]
What was lost must be reclaimed. David ran his hand through Cola\'s fur, satisfied. Arnold, who was watching the scene, was dumbfounded. So, this was what David had asked Cola to do. But it seemed like the other party was quite angry.
Arnold slowly turned his head towards the woman. She was not just angry; her gaze was fixed on David as if she wanted to kill him. "Return the crystal!" the woman scolded. However, David acted as if he hadn\'t heard and turned to leave.
Just as David turned around, a dagger swiftly attacked him from behind! David glanced lightly, slightly tilting his head to dodge the dagger.
Clang! The dagger flew and slammed into an iron door, deeply embedded several centimeters. Looking at the dagger, David calmly said, "Your people took my things, so I took something from you. Isn\'t that fair?"
With those words, David turned his head and gave a cold glance at Danny, who was sitting on the ground. The woman angrily turned her head towards Danny. "What is going on? We\'ve been out for a day, and we\'ve encountered only low-level zombies along the way. Finally, we encountered a mutated zombie, and even if we defeated it, someone took the crystal away. How can I swallow this anger?"
Danny awkwardly smiled. "I just took a few of their low-level crystals." The man walked to Danny\'s side, picked up the glasses from the ground, and put them back on. He calmly said, "It was a few of them."
Danny stammered, "Maybe four, I don\'t remember." Seeing that the woman was about to explode, Danny hurriedly added, "It was a critical moment for me. If I hadn\'t consumed those crystals, I would have died!"
"Who asked you to arrive so late?" Danny muttered softly, afraid to speak out loud.
"You useless piece of trash!"the woman scolded. Then she turned to David and said, "It\'s just a few low-level crystals. Give us back that crystal, and we\'ll return the low-level crystals to you!"
After speaking, the woman directly threw six low-level crystals from her pocket onto the ground. David stood with his hands in his pockets, disdainfully saying, "I want only this one."
As soon as he said that, the woman exploded, "You brat, do you think I\'m a pushover?" The woman swiftly moved with extreme speed and charged towards David.
As the woman was about to reach David, David calmly tore open a spatial rift beside him and stepped inside. In the next second, he appeared next to Danny. Cola was licking its paws on his shoulder. The woman\'s fist swung empty, and when she looked at David again, her gaze became even more vigilant. "Are you an esper?"
David stood behind Danny and coughed lightly. Startled by the sound, Danny jumped. He quickly turned around and discovered David standing behind him. The man with glasses instinctively took a step back and observed David, saying, "You are an esper with the Spatial element, right?"
David didn\'t want to waste time with them. He had collected enough today, and it was time to go back. With his hands in his pockets, he turned to leave. "Stop right there!" The woman, Monica, had somehow retrieved her dagger. She scolded and charged forward with the dagger in hand.
The man with glasses pushed his glasses up his nose and shook his head helplessly, saying softly, "Monica, you\'re no match for him. Come back."
Monica, who had already charged halfway, froze upon hearing his words. "Damn it." She stayed in place, tightly gripping the dagger in her hand, watching as David and his group walked away in the distance.
After David and his group completely disappeared from sight, Monica let out a deep breath. With a solemn expression, she turned around and walked over to the man\'s side.
"How powerful is he?" Monica asked coldly.
The man pushed his glasses and said, "He is a fourth-level esper with the Spatial element."
"Fourth level," Monica muttered.
Upon hearing the man\'s words, Danny exclaimed in surprise, "Fourth level! If he\'s such a powerful esper, then why didn\'t he help me when I asked for it earlier?"
The man turned his head and looked at Danny as if he were looking at a fool. After Danny took his crystal, still expected him to help? Wasn\'t that wishful thinking? "Not just him, even the people around him are not ordinary," the man said, lowering his head.
When David and his group were present earlier, he saw a Healing esper on the scene. There was also a Shadow esper and a werewolf. Even that cat, licking its paws, was not someone they could mess with.
"For the incident in CJ City, we should report it," the man shrugged and turned to leave.
"When are we going back?" Monica asked, lowering her head and touching the dagger in her hand.
The man glanced at her and reassured, "Don\'t be impatient. You can\'t defeat him so easily." Upon hearing this, Monica\'s hand paused, and she sheathed the dagger next to her shoe. She nodded and quickened her pace, walking ahead.
"If we don\'t leave soon, the zombies will come again." The man\'s mouth slowly curled up, and he hastened his steps. Seeing the two of them in a hurry, Danny fell silent for a moment and then jogged over to the man\'s side, asking in a low voice.
"Brother, when will you lend me your glasses?"
"Get lost."
"Okay then."
On the way back, David remained silent. In his mind, he kept speculating about the identities of the three individuals he had just encountered. It was evident that they belonged to an organization. During the fight earlier, David noticed their skilled coordination. So he made a mental note of their appearances. Perhaps there would be opportunities for further contact in the future.
Before going upstairs, Brian watched David\'s figure and pondered for a moment before quickening his pace. "David," he cautiously spoke up.
David didn\'t turn around but responded as he walked, "Let\'s talk when we get back."
Brian nodded and continued walking with his head down. After they entered the room, David didn\'t go to his own room but followed Brian and Lily into their room.
After the door was closed, Brian and Lily skillfully placed chairs behind the door to prevent any unexpected situations. David sat on the chair with one hand resting on the table, silently observing as the two of them finished handling their tasks. Once they were done, they exchanged a glance and sat down.
