The Scorpion Corps
Zero's abilities are becoming increasingly terrifying; they've reached a point where even Old Wang dares not use them casually.
He didn't disbelieve in zero; he disbelieved in himself.
"What exactly is the situation?" Old Wang asked Zero, putting aside his jumbled thoughts.
"The person who paid the Scorpion Corps to hire them was a financial institution called Ayla, and behind this financial institution is the White Stone Society."
However, this time it probably wasn't them who did it, because none of their management knew about it; the money was controlled by one of their middle managers.
Those people are probably trying to sow discord between you and the White Stone Society. It's unclear who exactly is behind it, as they haven't used electronic communication channels.
All I know is that the organization behind it is called "Holy Ten" Zero.
"Keep an eye on those people for me."
"Yes, sir."
Furthermore, the Scorpion Corps had laid Force Field Trap at their base; they were after more than just a Legendary Weapon.
Ling quickly reported what he had found to Old Wang and helped Old Wang with the analysis.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be careful," Old Wang said, his gaze turning somewhat cold.
Since you guys enjoy playing these things so much, let me show you how to play to your heart's content.
"By the way, have any of our guild members found out?" Wang Qianduo asked.
"Found it..."
"It's him!" Old Wang.
The Future Guild members quickly arrived at the Scorpion Corps's base. Their base was still bustling with people, showing no signs of relocating.
Just as everyone was about to enter the area of effect of the opponent's Force Field Trap, Old Wang ordered the team to stop.
"They look down on us that much?" Xiao Hai asked.
"This isn't looking down on them, it's actually showing them great respect," Old Wang said, looking at the Force Field Trap devices that Zero had detected targeting them.
"Boss, the people from the Future have arrived!"
One of the Scorpion Corps reported the news to their President Death Ray.
"Alright, prepare for battle. Let's have a good chat with this number one player in the game!" said a greenish-blue Mecha that looked somewhat like a scorpion in the Scorpion Corps's base.
He is the leader of the Scorpion Corps, and the owner of the Demon Scorpion Mecha, Death Ray.
"Boss, something's wrong! They've stopped right outside the trap. Have we been exposed?" one of his men said anxiously, looking at Old Wang and his group who were parked far away.
"Impossible! Even veterans couldn't detect the trap's power and concealment. What could a bunch of greenhorns possibly find? Come with me and take a look!"
After giving a shout, Death Ray, the leader of the Scorpion Corps, led his guild members towards Old Wang and his group.
"Fellow members of the Future Guild, what are you trying to do by mobilizing such a large force to surround our territory?"
The Death Ray came right off the bat with a preemptive accusation, clearly the work of an experienced "yin-yang master".
"Stop talking nonsense, where's the stuff?" Lin Qimeng stepped forward and said.
"Things? What things?" Death Ray continued to feign ignorance.
"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Don't you know the system will give you a notification if someone gets killed? Stop wasting your breath on us. I'll ask you one more time: where are the items our people dropped?" Lin Qimeng.
"We're innocent, boss! We're just a bunch of Normal Mercenary, what would we know? Why don't you come and search our base?"
"It seems they're determined to be shameless to the end," the Future crowd thought upon seeing the Death Ray.
Lin Qimeng wanted to say something more, but Old Wang pulled her back. Then he raised his hand and summoned a Blazing Laser Beam, which hit her directly.
But the Death Ray surprised him; his opponent hadn't died despite being hit head-on by his skill.
"Desperate Counterattack? Looks like you guys are really something!" Old Wang said, looking at him.
"What do you mean? Why did you suddenly attack?" Death Ray asked Old Wang in disbelief.
But Old Wang ignored him. With another wave of his hand, he summoned a Blizzard that fell upon the Scorpion Corps members.
These people were just stalling for time; some had already gone to try and change the trap's location, and Old Wang certainly couldn't let them have their way.
With the aid of his signature weapon, Blizzard more than twice the size of others enveloped the Scorpios.
Countless Ice Spike instantly killed the Scorpion Corps members in front of him, and even the Death Ray, despite its Desperate Counterattack, couldn't escape the attack range of Old Wang's skill.
After dealing with these people, Old Wang arrived at a place where no one had detected the trap and pulled out a cylindrical object that they had buried underground.
"There are six more of these. I've marked them. Go and retrieve them all. One of them should already be on someone. Kill that person and make sure you don't forget it," Old Wang said, looking at the items in his hand.
Seven-Star Formation III
Consumables
Perfect
Effect: After using seven Formation Eye, Seven-Star Formation is set up to restrict enemies in the center of the Magic Array.
Number of uses: 1/3
Old Wang didn't know how powerful this thing was when activated, but the combined power of seven Perfect consumables couldn't be weak.
Keep in mind that the Holy Light is merely Perfect consumable item; if Zero hadn't discovered these things beforehand, they would have been in real danger.
The Scorpion Corps was no match for the Future Guild members. They intended to escape with the item, but unfortunately, they failed.
After the seven Formation Eye of the Seven-Star Formation were completely in Old Wang's hands, Death Hotline and the others were resurrected.
"Where did you get a Perfect set of consumable items? While it's not as valuable as our Sword of Victory, it's about the same, right?" Old Wang asked.
Actually, there's a huge difference. The Perfect Sword still has room for improvement, while this thing is just a one-time consumable.
However, the Scorpio Society members probably don't know about these things; they were clearly given to them specifically to deal with Old Wang and his group.
"How did you discover this?" Death Ray asked unwillingly. The fact that the other side had found all seven Formation Eye so quickly clearly indicated that there was a problem within their ranks.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to take even a single core with them. Now that this thing is in this person's hands, things are really troublesome.
They have research and development capabilities; even if they destroy this thing, they can't let it fall into the hands of the Future Guild.
So what went wrong, and who went wrong?
"How did I find out? Of course, it's because your people abandoned the darkness and came to the light, right, Xiao Guang?" Old Wang said, looking at the streamer who had lost the Sword of Victory.
According to Zero's investigation, this person is an ungrateful wretch; this isn't the first time he's betrayed the Future Guild.
He had been profiting from selling information about the Future Guild, and this time he took advantage of the opportunity to borrow the Sword of Victory to deliberately discard it.
"Boss... what are you saying? Is something wrong?"
After being exposed by Old Wang, Xiao Guang trembled all over as he spoke.
"Don't be nervous. The Holy Ten Society can't do whatever they want to you. They wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"
"Even if they dared, how could an illegal organization like them harm you, who's staying at the Future Club?" Old Wang continued.
Upon hearing the name of the Holy Ten, the Death Ray on the opposite side realized that it was their spy planted in the Future who had betrayed them.
"You dare to betray even the Holy Ten? You've really had enough of living!" Death Ray said, about to leave, but was stopped by Old Wang.
Did I tell you to leave? So you leave.
You can't just be a Mercenary Corps, can you? You're also one of those Holy Ten members...
So, you can send a message to those so-called Holy Ten, telling them to return the Sword of Victory, and then come back and let our members who were killed by you without cause be killed a few more times, and that will be the end of it.
Otherwise, I'll show them what underhanded methods are.
Old Wang knew that this Holy Ten was no ordinary person; in this era, zero information about them could not be found on the internet.
But so what? These people are ultimately just a bunch of rats who only dare to operate overseas and can't stand the light of day.
Old Wang was really unhappy about losing the Sword of Victory; he felt he couldn't get over this without giving Old Wang a piece of his mind.
After Old Wang finished speaking, he once again used a Wind Blade to dismember the Death Ray in front of him.
After killing him, Old Wang gave everyone a look, and in the Future, everyone rushed towards the remaining members of the Scorpion Corps, while only the streamer named Xiao Guang stood there blankly.
