Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 504 Section 500 - The Town with No Starting Point

```

Playing with one's mind's eye too much often turns it into a filthy asshole.

Miyoshi Xuesen was a typical conspiracy theorist, suspicious by nature, and even reserved trust for the other members of the Huntsman Squad, always keeping the complete hunting list secret until just before an operation, treating Chen Fei and the others purely as tools.

The only ones he trusted were his ninja team, whom he bestowed with his special ability, which also meant he held their lives in his hands. Those with double intentions would be seeking their own death, which relatively made them more trustworthy because of the life-or-death bond they shared.

"Miyoshi, who's the target nearby?"

Tuert was an active participant within the Huntsman Squad, which also meant he was prone to causing stir, being nitpicky and even troublesome.

He suspected that there should be a target from the hunting list nearby, one who might even be the mastermind behind this attack.

Just as Miyoshi Xuesen had put it, it was highly likely for the Huntsman Squad to get exposed, and naturally, they would be ambushed. Considering the "Water Bear" organization's ability to blend in, getting some related information shouldn't be too difficult.

Such deceitful and dirty machinations were only limited by one's imagination.

"Emmmm... Morgan Lee, mayor of a small town in the Autet Province of the Roussillon Grand Region, southern Gaul, heh, a very influential mayor. Many members and their families of the 'Water Bear' organization live in that town, if..."

Miyoshi Xuesen cut himself off here, but the unspoken implication was already obvious.

To avoid having their movements anticipated, the route the Huntsman Squad took was unpredictable; otherwise, they would not be scurrying randomly between the northern and southern continents of America and the Europa Continent.

If the "Water Bear" members' families were concentrated in one place, any outsiders entering the town would likely stand out immediately.

It served both as protection and surveillance—if anyone dared to betray the organization, their families would be the first to suffer. Humans are social creatures; being left utterly alone probably would make life seem meaningless.

"Most likely, it's this guy."

Aunt Caroline, who loved cooking and explosives, was no fool. Exchanging looks with the others, she felt this guess was very close to the truth.

The current location of the Huntsman Squad was within the borders of Gaul Sovereignty. Even if it wasn't the possibly aware target who had done this, it most likely wouldn't be unrelated. After all, local snakes mobilizing resources would always be somewhat easier.

"A 600 per shot!"

Chen Fei kept to his old ways, always ready with the most powerful moves.

He wasn't a mage, capable of casting offensive spells with just a few incantations. To kill barehanded, who knew how long it would take.

Having access to a powerful weapon, why not use the most powerful one?

The D-600 model Railgun he had "sacrificed" before was the most powerful weapon platform in Chen Fei's possession, and it still hadn't been used. It wasn't like Miyoshi intended to throw a solid bullet his way just to create a giant pit.

Chen Fei had encountered weapons far more destructive than the D-600 model Railgun, but the "Sacrifice" ability had its drawbacks, least of all it was ineffective against Dragon Slayer Missiles.

As the ultimate bomb combining magic and technology, "Sacrifice" simply couldn't handle it. Rumor had it that the core of the Dragon Slayer Missile was a high-grade Demon Crystal, more expensive than Crystalline Blocks.

Since Demon Crystals weren't metal, Metal Elemental Psychic Power naturally had no domain there.

Each use of the "Light Mirror Spell" cast its gaze more than 13 miles away to White Truffle Town. Morgan Lee, the town's mayor, was the target of the Huntsman Squad's mission that failed to commence. The town was also home to members and families of the "Water Bear" organization, nearly a thousand strong. As for the rest being innocent, that might not necessarily be the case.

To carry out the "faking death" plan to the end and avoid startling the snake by hitting the grass again, the "Light Mirror Spell" from the little bird became the only means to scout this small town.

Whenever Xiao Jiu practiced the "Light Mirror Spell," every member of the squad would attend without fail, and some ninjas who could read lips compensated for the fact that the "Light Mirror Spell" only showed images without conveying the sound.

Miyoshi Xuesen was holding a flat map of White Truffle Town, confirming the addresses of the key "Water Bear" organization members' families, while distinguishing the unrelated community members.

White Truffle Town is an agricultural town that mainly relies on planting with breeding as a secondary industry, self-sufficient. The town has a restaurant that doubles as a bar, a gas station that also functions as a repair shop, a supermarket that repairs electronics, a clinic, a kindergarten, a small hydropower station near the town, and a tap water treatment plant. Beyond that, there were no other public facilities, not even a police station. Apart from that, there were only a few not-so-large agricultural product processing workshops, with jobs being very much a case of one position per person.

The surrounding area had neither historical cultural sites nor any particularly distinctive tourist attractions. The town was not well-known and saw few visitors, with even passersby being rare. The people active inside and outside the town were all local faces; the Huntsman Squad not rashly entering was obviously a wise decision. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

Mainly, there are one large and two small centralized residential areas in the town, with one of the larger and smaller areas confirmed to be the dwelling places of the "Water Bear" organization's key members' families. The residents of the other community appeared to be ordinary people, but seemed to have received military training in their actions.

Using Xiao Jiu's "Light Mirror Spell," Miyoshi Xuesen tirelessly compared the population of the town, conducting person-by-person identification.

"A total of 2734 people, no children, no toddlers."

Chen Fei's suggestion finally stirred him a little, a few decisive blasts to kill the opponent would certainly be satisfying, but things weren't so simple.

Miyoshi Xuesen hadn't reported for long before he received a response.

The opinion from the upper echelons of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was rejection.

Insufficient evidence to meet the criteria of the combat plan, unable to determine that everyone in the town was evil. If there was even one innocent person, they couldn't flatten the town with 600 Demolition Bombs and not leave even the chickens and dogs alive.

After all, wiping out a town, not to mention the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, no sovereignty could withstand such public opinion criticism. Who would dare to order a bombardment of White Truffle Town with such certainty?

Of course, Chen Fei dared to be so reckless because he was just someone who couldn't keep his hands still!

"Not enough evidence!"

Sitting at the entrance to the cave, basking in the slanted sunlight, Miyoshi Xuesen frowned and pondered how to wipe out Morgan Lee and his town together.

But faced with this impenetrable small town, he found it difficult to make a move.

The previously designed action plans and backup plans ABCDEFG, became unusable due to deviations between reference intelligence and the actual situation. A new plan had to be made.

"Actually... I could try!"

Seeing the monk in such difficulty, the young-looking Tuert volunteered.

As a Psychic Mage of Human Order Ninth Rank, he covertly mastered some Forbidden Techniques that should not see the light of day.

"Let's hear it then!"

Miyoshi Xuesen listened attentively, ready for any new ideas.

"I can use Psychic Series Spells to control the people in the town, make them kill each other, and then blame it on a cult," Tuert said with a heh-heh laugh, not wanting to be so direct as to reveal his Forbidden Techniques outright.

In a sense, the "Water Bear" organization was a big cult, perfect for passing the buck and taking the blame—seek and you shall find.
