End

The massive Zeus slowly dissipated amidst brilliant light. Mu Fengyu, filled with joy, strode toward the spot where Michael had died, ready to loot the corpse.

However, limited by the death-drop mechanics, he only obtained one broken guild weapon, two artifacts meticulously crafted by Michael, and a pile of rare materials.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. For a dignified guild leader, this is so stingy!" Mu Fengyu couldn't help but complain. As a guild leader, the fact that Michael didn't have any eye-catching items on him truly exceeded his expectations. After grumbling, he shook his head helplessly, his face full of disappointment, and turned back toward the stronghold that had been mostly destroyed.

The interior of the stronghold was a mess. The scent of thick gunpowder smoke permeated the ruins of broken walls and rubble. Mu Fengyu searched through the debris for a long time before finally discovering Siyou Qilong in a corner, whose core had been reduced to its base state by the aftermath of the attacks following his delayed resurrection.

He hurried over, carefully cradling Siyou Qilong in his hands to examine his condition. He saw that the light of Siyou Qilong's core was as faint as a candle in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

"Little Siyou, you have to hold on!"

Mu Fengyu quickly took out a healing potion and gently poured it onto Siyou Qilong's core.

The light of the potion slowly merged into his core, and the light that had been so faint it was nearly gone gradually became stable and bright.

Once recovered, Siyou Qilong's eyes sparkled. He lowered his body and asked impatiently, "Captain, can I drive that Gundam you used earlier? It was just too cool."

Mu Fengyu was left between laughter and tears by his sudden question. He reached out and gently patted his head, saying, "What are you thinking, kid? That thing is soul-bound, and it was a limited-time offer. You can't drive it."

Upon hearing this, Siyou Qilong's face showed disappointment, but he quickly regained his spirit and said with a grin, "Captain, if there's any good stuff I can drive next time, you have to think of me first."

Mu Fengyu nodded, looked around at the ruins, and said, "I'll get you one next time there's an opportunity. If there's anything else you take a liking to, just tell me. Our group isn't short on money."

Siyou Qilong was slightly stunned, then his eyes filled with confusion as he asked earnestly, "Captain, why are you so good to me?"

Mu Fengyu laughed heartily, reached out to pat Siyou Qilong on the shoulder, and said, "No special reason. I just like you!"

Siyou Qilong felt deeply moved. He looked at Mu Fengyu with a firm gaze and said, "Captain, I will never let down your trust. From now on, I will definitely work twice as hard to contribute more to the group!"

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Let's go. I'll take you to raid a place; this is your first time, after all."

Mu Fengyu led Siyou Qilong toward the treasury.

Along the way, the two were incredibly arrogant, wantonly destroying intact buildings, striving to leave nothing behind.

Finally arriving before the treasury door, they saw it tightly shut, covered in mysterious runes and magic circles. Mu Fengyu observed it for a moment, then took the broken guild weapon from his embrace and pushed it forward.

With a creak, the door slowly opened. A musty scent rushed out. The treasury was piled high with all sorts of treasures, emitting a brilliant glow.

Siyou Qilong's eyes widened in excitement. Just as he was about to rush in, Mu Fengyu grabbed him. He took two snake-skin bags from his inventory and handed them to Siyou Qilong, explaining under his confused gaze, "Here, use these. These are more professional."

He took the snake-skin bags and stared blankly as Mu Fengyu rushed forward. His speed was skilled and swift, showing that this was not his first time doing such a thing.

Seeing this, Siyou Qilong joined the looting spree. He picked up a gorgeous magic robe and clicked his tongue in praise. "Captain, this should sell for a lot of money, right?"

Mu Fengyu had his eye on a sharp sword; he swung it a few times and nodded with satisfaction.

The two carried the full snake-skin bags on their shoulders and sat on the broken long stairs. Mu Fengyu feigned wiping sweat from his forehead and said to Siyou Qilong with a smile, "Little Siyou, the harvest today is not small. This is your initiation gift for joining the group."

"Then many thanks, Captain. But, will we get into trouble for being so high-profile?"

Mu Fengyu waved his hand dismissively. "What's there to fear? We have the strength; who can do anything to us? Besides, they were the ones who provoked us first."

Siyou Qilong nodded thoughtfully and asked again, "Captain, after we took this place down, did you tell the others in the group?"

"Uh... this."

"No, and the Tears of Angels stronghold has been sealed off by someone using an item. We don't even know what the situation is like inside right now."

In the simple meeting room, Momonga spread his hands helplessly, telling his companions with a worried face.

Touch Me frowned, his expression serious, and said with dissatisfaction, "Mu Fengyu is acting too recklessly! For such a major operation, he didn't even give us a heads-up or discuss it properly. This isn't just his own business."

Peroroncino chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. He always acts on impulse like this. Even though he's always pranking me, he can't just ignore the consequences. If something goes wrong, we won't even have a chance to fix it."

Herohero was irritable and complained along with them, "This isn't a game! Him being this impulsive is a real headache. He doesn't even think about how we should respond if something goes wrong."

Bellriver shook his head and said worriedly, "I don't know what it's like for him in there, or if he's encountered any danger. It's truly worrying."

Nishikienrai sighed and said helplessly, "Aren't you guys overthinking this? Yu is a shareholder of the World Tree and a GM. If he gets serious, he could solo the top ten guilds."

Bukubukuchagama crossed her arms and pouted, saying, "Him? He's always so hot-headed, doing things on a whim without considering the consequences. I really don't know what to say about him."

Ulbert spoke up for Mu Fengyu at this moment. "Everyone, don't say that. Mu Fengyu is doing this for the good of the group. Maybe the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to notify us. His intentions should be fine."

Momonga raised his hand to signal for silence and said, "The bounty on us from Tears of Angels has been canceled, and Tears of Angels, ranked fifty-seventh, has officially announced its dissolution. Do you think this means Yu has already resolved the matter there and is on his way back?"

"Maybe he's eavesdropping on our conversation outside the door right now, just waiting for the right moment to jump out and scare us?"

Hearing Momonga's words, everyone fell into deep thought. The meeting room went quiet for a moment. Given Mu Fengyu's style, it seemed like something he would actually do.
