Su Xiao had never heard of a communication platform within a fully open native world, much less one built by the Brigade. Still, it was only natural. Ever since entering this world, he had been tracking the Dominator's whereabouts and had paid no attention to anything else.
The situation was that someone had falsely claimed in his name that Hru City was his territory, and anyone who came would die.
As one of the three most important major cities in the Wizard World, Hru City offered countless opportunities to profit. Occupying it would draw the hostility of all Contractors. Of course, that was only hostility. Without anyone willing to stick their neck out, no Contractor would come looking for trouble with Su Xiao.
"When did you hear this?"
Su Xiao held a Soul Crystal Fragment between two fingers and tossed it into his mouth like a candy.
"A few days ago."
After taking a sip of hot tea, the short-haired girl spoke softly. From what she said, Su Xiao learned the general situation.
On the day Su Xiao arrived in Hru City, the rumor had already spread throughout the city. Not only that, a photograph had also begun circulating.
The photograph showed Su Xiao ambushing the three-person team from the Moen family a few days earlier. He was sitting on a rooftop, eating Soul Crystals. The moon that night had faintly revealed a bloody hue—something Su Xiao could not have remembered incorrectly.
Because of that photograph, the nickname "Humanoid Boss" spread among the Contractors. Combined with the recording of his battle against the three Arcane Mages, it made the Contractors who had been itching to try their luck behave themselves.
After the news spread, the Contractors from the various Paradises did not completely lose the courage to enter Hru City.
