Chapter 195 Plunder

The Joker looked at the spot where Adam had been standing. As the smile on his face deepened, so did the loneliness in his eyes.

“Fafafa…” he forced a laugh. “Who would have thought? The little bugger actually grew on me.”

He paused, smiling from ear to ear.

“I’m all alone again.”

The man stood still for a very long time. Then, he put his hands on his waist and cheered himself up. “Never mind, fafafa! Guess, I’ll just go to sleep.”

He turned around and headed for the deeper parts of the Soaring Library. Suddenly, he stopped in his footsteps and tapped his head lightly.

“Ah, I forgot to tell him about the final battle.”

But the next moment, he started laughing in amusement. “Fafafa, forget it. He won’t die anyway.”

The Joker cheerfully walked toward the depths of the library, his silhouette gradually disappearing into the smoky horizon.

…

“Ugh!” Adam felt something rise up his throat. After being teleported out of the House of Cards, he felt a great need to throw up. But at the last moment, he somehow managed to hold it back in.

After a moment of disorientation, he took out some water from his earring and madly gulped it down. “Puah! Not bad, that’s some progress, eh.”

After putting away the gourd of water, he looked around and found himself standing in a large clearing. He turned back around and was shocked.

“Where’s the damn pyramid?”

He figured he would be appearing somewhere near the House of Cards, but that was not the case at all. He appeared on a grassy land with a radius of at least five hundred meters. Beyond that, this land was surrounded by tall trees.

Strangely enough, Adam felt as if this place he found himself in resembled an arena for some reason. He shook his head and started walking toward the forest.

He was the only one here, so there was nothing much to do.

“Ah, whatever, I’ll wait for Edward and the rest, and then I can finally leave this place.”

Suddenly, he paused and nodded before continuing, “Yeah, you can come out, Val.”

A gray light flashed, and Valerian appeared right in front of Adam, floating in mid-air. The latter gently grabbed him in his arms. “What’s up, little guy?”

The young dragon rested his furry little head on Adam’s chest.

‘Brother, I’m bored. So bored!’

Adam chuckled seeing his expression. He gently patted the little guy’s head and comforted him, “Let’s wait for our friends for a little while, okay?”

‘What about the funny-looking man?’ Valerian asked with a tilt of his head.

“The Joker?” The youth asked with raised eyebrows. He then shook his head. “This is his home, Val. He can’t leave this place.”

“Myuu…” Valerian nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

‘Since there’s nothing else to do, I’m going back to sleep.’ He sent a mental transmission. ‘Don’t forget my division of loot. Brother, you promised me!’

With that said, he turned into a gray flash of light and returned to the youth’s spirit sea.

Adam was speechless at Valerian’s parting words. He couldn’t help but break into a burst of laughter. “Kekeke! Such a greedy little fellow. I wonder who he takes after.”

He leisurely made his way toward the edge of the clearing. Then, he picked a random tree and climbed it all the way to the top.

His friends would be out any time now. After regrouping with them, he could finally leave.

…

For the next couple of hours, Magi continued to pop up one after the other at the center of the clearing. It was important to note that most of them hadn’t even left the area.

They had formed into small groups instead and were keeping their distance from other groups. Very few Magi, who were on their own, had rushed toward the forest immediately after teleporting.

Like Adam, they too had decided to wait by the clearing, albeit, for a different reason. ReeAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e/lbin/.c/o/m Only

Adam was quite puzzled as to what was happening, until finally he realized when the next Magi teleported in the center of the clearing.

As soon as this Magus appeared, he was ambushed by a couple of Magi nearby.

Being suddenly attacked, the Magus was greatly alarmed. Moreover, after having just teleported he wasn’t in the best shape to fight.

And thus, within a few seconds, he was brutally murdered by the other Magi and had his corpse looted.

“I see.” Adam’s eyes narrowed as he witnessed this cruel scene from a distance.

All Magi that were teleported here out of the House of Cards were guaranteed to have received great rewards from within it.

Furthermore, the moment after one was teleported, they were sure to be disoriented even if it was for a split second. But that split second made all the difference in the world.

It was the perfect time to plunder!

Having realized this, Adam couldn’t help but shake his head and heave a helpless sigh, “Haa, that guy… He truly is a saidst. At least, he was kind enough to teleport me before everyone.”

The next moment, his expression turned solemn. He had to be ready for when Edward, Lisa, and the twins arrived. The Magi who had gotten in groups were sure to attack them when they teleported.

He jumped down the tree and slowly made his way toward the center of the clearing. Strangely enough, although he was walking alone, no other Magi stepped forward to attack him.

Adam had released a tiny bit of his mana outside his body. The tyrannical aura emanating from his mana stopped every Magus in track.

They couldn’t help but involuntarily gulp, their backs drenched in cold sweat. The sheer pressure from Adam’s mana heavily weighed down on them. When they felt it, they had this strange feeling that they were being glued to the spot by gravity itself.

Just when he was about a hundred meters away from the center, he stopped. This much distance was enough for him to cover in the blink of an eye.

It might have been extremely difficult for him before, but after having spent two months in the gravity chamber, his strength and speed had increased exponentially.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for his friends to appear.

He stood there like a lone wolf amidst a sea of hungry predators. However, none of these ‘predators’ dared to attack him. They couldn’t find themselves to.

As Adam continued to patiently wait, his gaze focused on the center of the clearing, a familiar person had finally teleported.

It was Edward!

Adam could see that the Magi nearest to his close friend were about to make a move.

However, before Adam could even move toward Edward, something shocking happened that caused his eyes to widen in shock.
