Chapter 312: Distribution
Destiny's Dominion · 第三一二章 分配
The shockwave was so powerful that it spread all the way to the East District, even affecting the Unicorn Apartments. However, the outer walls of the forty-story building had manifested dense defensive arrays, withstanding the impact that was already spent.
Yet blinding flashes of lightning exploded one after another, and the deafening roars and even more imposing shockwaves continued to surge from that direction.
"Whoa! This is a legendary-level clash."
Nanette Drew walked to the glass window, a camera suddenly appearing in her hand as she frantically pressed the shutter toward the north.
"That location is a villa owned by the Van Beter family in the city. Could they have used Mjölnir?"
Li Mochen knew that Mjölnir was a fifth-grade holy relic of the Van Beter family, a replica of the true 'Mjölnir' from Norse mythology, with power close to that of a divine artifact, and had always been a symbol of the Van Beter family's martial might.
But the commotion there ended there. As the twenty-four magic towers in Atlanta's sky appeared above the clouds, the area where the battle was taking place temporarily separated from this world.
"I guess it's Fenrir the Wolf. That blue light earlier should have been a legendary-level ray of frost."
Eliza Targaryen, who had been guarding Li Mochen, looked shocked and then fearful: "He's actually a legendary. No wonder the Fenrir Hunt has been running rampant in Ghost City for so many years. This time, even after so many families in Atlanta joined forces, they still can't handle him. He even dared to attack the Van Beter family's settlement—"
"He should have a mage兼职, around level fifteen. His Hunter profession has broken through to legendary, probably within the last few days. I suspect he also possesses a very rare holy relic that allows him to escape safely even under extreme conditions."
Nanette Drew was clearly more knowledgeable than Eliza: "I feel that the major families in Atlanta competing for the Dragon's Might are in for big trouble. If they don't manage to eliminate this guy this time, it will be very difficult to get rid of him later. Since firearms appeared in this world, legendary-level Hunters have been the most troublesome combat force besides mages. Their reconnaissance and sniping abilities are unparalleled."
She then turned to Li Mochen and raised her camera: "Looks like tonight's harvest is good. Tomorrow's headline for the Georgia State Post is set. The view here is excellent; I captured it clearly."
"This is indeed big news, but will it make the papers tomorrow?"
Li Mochen asked curiously: "Will the government interfere?"
"The impact is too widespread; they can't suppress it. In situations like this, they usually don't bother with such thankless tasks. If they insist, it will cost them dearly, and major newspapers can get some benefits."
Ms. Drew tossed her camera into a magic bag she carried, then put on her coat: "I need to get to the office quickly, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After she left, Li Mochen turned to Eliza: "Eliza, do you know the current situation regarding the whereabouts of the 'Dragon's Might' parts?"
Since that 'framing' incident, he hadn't paid much attention to it. But today's legendary battle made him wary.
That 'Fenrir the Wolf' now had the ability to threaten him. Without caution and vigilance, the fire might spread to him.
"I'm not too clear on that either. I've only heard some things from others."
Eliza pondered: "As early as early October, some suspected that the main parts of Dragon's Might had fallen into the hands of the Fenrir Hunt. While they were verifying and searching for those parts, they clashed with the Fenrir Hunt. The first exchange left over a hundred dead, directly sparking a war. Fenrir's men were all crazy, attacking the families' assets in the dark world everywhere, eventually forcing them to unite. During this time, Fenrir the Wolf struck several times, killing six near-legendary combatants. But he was also identified—when Kid Van Derrick was returning to Atlanta with 'Dragon's Might,' this man was one of the three snipers who intercepted him. And now, the sniper rifle he uses has most of the features of Dragon's Might."
Li Mochen blinked, thinking no wonder things had been so quiet on his end. Even when he repeatedly used Dragon's Might in battles with the Dragon Witch Cult, no one suspected him. It turned out to be a happy accident, with the Fenrir Hunt's leader taking the fall for him.
"Tomorrow, have Jeremy Burt pay some attention to this. I authorize the company to allocate a special budget of 500,000 gold shields for him to keep an eye on Fenrir and his men."
Li Mochen frowned: "This madman—we need to take some precautions."
Eliza thought 500,000 gold shields was far from enough. Even the major families working together couldn't find Fenrir the Wolf, let alone them.
But she understood Li Mochen's meaning. What he really wanted to know was whether Fenrir the Wolf had any moves against them, since they had also killed members of the Fenrir Hunt before.
At that moment, Li Mochen took a leather inner armor from Hazel and waved it in front of Eliza: "This is a relic from a legendary Shadow Walker. Do you mind?"
It was something he had obtained from that legendary Shadow Walker, made from the hide of a legendary-grade sub-dragon, a 20S-level magical artifact.
Although it wasn't a holy relic, it provided legendary-level defense, making it a very good piece of equipment worth at least 40 to 50 million gold shields, surpassing his 'Thunder Hand.'
Eliza couldn't help swallowing: "A relic? Did you just kill a legendary?"
"Hazel is a demigod."
Li Mochen smiled and shook the dragon-hide inner armor: "Do you want it or not? If not, I can give it to Colinson."
"Of course I want it!"
Eliza snatched the inner armor away. She didn't care if it came from a dead person.
But—
"So how should this be accounted for? Do I owe you 30 million gold shields from today?"
"45 million! Otherwise, I'll take it back."
Li Mochen coldly crushed the girl's unrealistic hopes: "You could sell this on the market for nearly 50 million, Eliza, and I'm not even charging you interest."
"But you're now a chairman worth at least a billion gold shields. Can't you be generous, A-Mo?"
Eliza grimaced: "Don't you think about the risks I take by your side?"
Li Mochen ignored her and tossed a black revolver, a black dagger, and a set of cloth armor handed to him by Hazel to Isadora nearby.
"They're yours, Miss Wicks. Don't disappoint my expectations."
These were the main equipment of that legendary Shadow Walker: a full set of 20S-level cloth armor that could be worn under clothing, and the dagger, also 20S-level, very sharp, greatly enhancing Isadora's stealth ability.
Then there was the holy-revolver 'Shadow Serpent's Fang,' which, though inferior to the second-grade holy relic 'Thorn Iron Hand,' had greater close-combat lethality.
Isadora Wicks was startled, then lifted her skirt: "Master, I will put them to good use."
These pieces of equipment were worth about 200 million gold shields.
But Eliza felt no jealousy. First, these three magical artifacts weren't suitable for her. Moreover, Isadora Wicks was Li Mochen's maid slave, his personal property. It was indisputable for Li Mochen to equip her with these spoils, and naturally, no extra charge was needed.
