Stepping out of her room, Suika, just like the previous two mornings, first went to the Hamburger Immortal's shop, ate a delicious burger, and then leisurely made her way to the arena.

Whether it was intentional or not, the seating arrangement today was the same one as last time.

Once inside, the table was laden with various kinds of drinks, including her favorite chilled Watermelon.

In the morning, she watched the game as usual, and casually ordered a grilled Jumping Beast.

Around noon, she excused herself to go to the restroom.

A few minutes later, Suika came out of the restroom, greeted the waiter at the door, and went back to her private room.

However, in reality, it transformed into mist and disappeared into the arena via the exhaust fan.

After leaving the house, Suika changed her clothes and headed towards her goals: the two new checkpoints.

The first place is a public estate that has been transformed into an art gallery, displaying a wide variety of artworks.

As soon as she entered, Suika's lips curled up slightly.

She sensed a familiar presence in the manor.

Moreover, as soon as I entered, several eyes were watching me, both openly and secretly.

"Welcome to the Golden Goblet Art Gallery, beautiful lady. I'm your guide. Do you need any assistance?"

A woman in work clothes walked up and asked in a very respectful tone.

However, Suika immediately sensed something was wrong, because Suika kept scrutinizing her.

It wasn't the kind of curious scrutiny, but rather as if observing a commodity, or a butcher looking at a piece of meat placed in front of him, trying to figure out where to start cutting.

"Oh, there's a tour guide too? That's great..."

I've heard that this place has many rare and precious collections from all over the world. Could you tell me more about them?

Suika replied with a smile.

"Of course, no problem, ma'am..."

This way please...

Chapter 263 The Might of the Ghost King

Although but

Even Suika had to admit that this ill-intentioned "guide" was quite skilled.

Following behind her, she chatted animatedly the whole way.

As they passed each exhibit, she would tell Suika about its origin and the stories associated with it.

If I see that Suika is interested in that exhibit, I'll tell her even more detailed information.

If it were someone else, upon discovering danger, they would probably instinctively protect the "innocent" tour guide.

Because she had suspicions from the beginning, Suika discovered more.

For example, although the two walked slowly, there were many other ordinary tourists along the way.

But after walking along the way, most of the tourists around them had changed. However, since this area was still on the outskirts, people would occasionally pass by, so these people didn't make any moves.

Suika knew perfectly well that the people around her who were close by were not tourists at all.

After all, tourists don't carry weapons, nor do they stand at attention as if they might pounce at any moment.

However, she didn't show anything unusual. Instead, she continued to look around with curiosity, occasionally asking the tour guide about items that interested her.

Amidst the rich artistic atmosphere, Suika was led deeper into the manor, and soon there were no other tourists around.

Just as the tour guide subtly made a gesture, signaling the others to prepare to act, Suika spoke up.

"Well, thank you in advance, sister, even though we'll be enemies soon."

But your appreciation and understanding of art is truly the best I've ever seen.

There's an old saying in the Great Yan: "You were born a beautiful woman, but why did you become a thief?" I'm giving it to you.

Upon hearing Suika's words, the expressions of those around her changed, and in the next second they all drew their weapons and surrounded her.

The next second, everyone was thrown backward as if hit by a dump truck, except for Suika, who stood in the middle without changing her expression.

Not far in front of him, the tour guide, pale-faced, looked at his subordinates who had been knocked away and embedded in various objects, seemingly with no chance of survival.

Just a second ago, our side had a huge advantage.

The team not only included several active knights, but also several experts skilled in countering magic.

Normally, this group of people would be able to fight even against the elite henchmen of the Commercial Union, the Armorless Union.

But at this time and place, they didn't even last a second before being completely wiped out.

Suika calmly looked at her opponent; this time, she wasn't holding back at all.

After all, the other party was after her life, and she couldn't possibly spare their lives just because they weren't the ringleaders and were just some thugs.

In that instant, her ability to combine Density and Sparsity, along with the sudden burst of the Mount Oe Tempest, was designed to give these people no chance to react.

"Well then, considering how long we've talked, I'll give you a chance. Where is Olmer? And how did you know I would be visiting and make these arrangements?"

After Suika finished speaking, the tour guide pressed his hand on a hidden compartment not far away. In an instant, countless openings appeared on the surrounding walls, and then cold arrows shot into the entire room.

A minute later, the rain of arrows stopped. The entire room was like a living hell. Everyone, including the tour guide, was riddled with arrows and died inside.

The door slowly opened, Suika walked out with a complicated expression.

She didn't know what the other person's mindset was when they attempted to take her down with them.

That is to say, she was completely unafraid of arrows; anyone else in her shoes would probably have died inside.

Before she could take more than a few steps, she saw a group of fully armed men rushing towards her. As soon as they saw Suika, several arrows shot towards her.

Faced with this merciless attack, Suika reached out, caught the arrow, and threw it back at the opponent's terrified gaze.

Then, looking at the other people rushing towards her, she raised her fist and pulled it back.

The next second, the wall in front of them burst open as if by an explosion, and those people had already been crushed to death by the strong wind before the wall exploded.

At this moment, the clone that had been left outside returned to her.

Suika then realized that there were no other tourists in the manor at this time.

"Phew, no more tourists? That's great!"

Upon receiving this message, Suika revealed a smug smile.

The next second she vanished from the spot.

As a famous tourist attraction, this place usually attracts quite a few visitors.

The temporary closure initially angered many visitors who had traveled from afar, as the sudden and unannounced closure of the art museum caused considerable inconvenience to their travel plans.

Just then, a loud explosion startled them.

Looking up at the art gallery, I saw a wall suddenly burst open, and several armed men flew out and landed on the ground, their whereabouts unknown.

Many people screamed upon seeing this scene.

Some people even took out their cameras and started photographing the unusual activity at the art museum.

Then, a scene they would never forget unfolded.

One second the sky above the art museum was clear and blue, but the next second a huge cloud suddenly appeared.

To everyone's horror, the cloud transformed into a giant hand.

A giant hand descended from the sky and slammed down on the art gallery, reducing it to ruins like a building block under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers.

After completing all that, the giant hand formed from the clouds was still not satisfied. It transformed into a fist and smashed the ruins inch by inch, flattening the entire ruins into a flat plain in just a few seconds.

Everyone who witnessed this horrific scene was so shocked that they forgot to scream.

After doing all this, the clouds that Suika had transformed into dissipated in full view of everyone.

If it weren't for the scene of utter chaos in the art gallery, everyone would have thought that what had just happened was just an illusion.

Several dozen seconds later, screams began to erupt one after another.

Having done all that, Suika naturally wouldn't let it go so easily.

After all, the other party has already made a move; for her to remain passively defensive like a hedgehog would be giving these guys too much face.

Since they are enemies, her task is to crush them all. Since the Ingra Family dares to commit murder openly, they must be prepared to pay the price with their lives.

Fortunately, she had learned about the location of the Ingla Family from Maria during their conversation yesterday, so after dealing with the art gallery, she headed towards the Ingla Family.

One minute after the art museum was destroyed, several organizations, including the Commercial Union, the Armorless Union, and the National Council, received the news.

All eyes turned to them; they all wanted to know what had happened and who had done it.

Soon, the Ingla Family's plan was laid out on the agenda of the Kazimierz leadership.

Chapter 264 Having accomplished his task, he departed.

"Damn it, who gave the Ingla Family this audacity!"

This is during Kazimierz's most important festival, and they dare to commit such heinous acts! Is there no law, no justice?

Some people angrily cursed after reading it.

After reading the message, someone asked...

"Wasn't it said that girl was watching the match at the arena?"

"Send someone to investigate immediately what happened?"

This is a message from within the Commercial Union.

"Such a powerful and terrifying force must be seized into our hands!"

This is the voice of certain ambitious individuals.

Meanwhile, Suika continued on her way to the Ingla Family's house.

She hummed a little tune while looking at her hands.

That shocking scene just now was indeed her doing.

The moves that look incredibly cool are actually based on very simple principles.

The first step is simply to atomize and fly to get above the buildings.

Now that it has taken the form of mist, shaping it into any shape is not difficult for Suika.

She simply chose the simplest hand shape. If you really wanted to play around with it, you could use mist to transform Godzilla or Ultraman into that shape, but there's no need for that.

Then, as the palm and fist came down, the density was maximized at the contact surface, and the Mount Oe Tempest was activated simultaneously at close range.

With the combined effect of the two, plus the immense power that Suika, as the Ghost King, already possesses, it's not difficult for her to flatten a house into a pancake.

She soon arrived at the location of the Ingra Family.

Looking at the fully armed manor, a fierce glint flashed in Suika's eyes.

She chose such a decisive and ruthless method this time because she felt fear for the first time.

It was just a minor grudge, but the other party escalated it to a life-or-death struggle. The tour guide, who acted like a suicide bomber, gave this person, who had always firmly believed in kindness and peace, a tremendous shock.

They would rather die, rather perish together with others, than admit defeat.

Such people are terrifying, and families that raise such people are even more terrifying.

Suika didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she didn't completely resolve this matter, and what would happen if others she had been involved with faced their furious retaliation after she left.

Therefore, at this moment, in Suika's eyes, whether the Ingla Family members were involved in this matter or whether they were innocent or not was no longer important.

She had to ensure the complete annihilation of this family here; only then could she find a sliver of peace.

At this moment, Suika looked towards the Ingla Family's manor.

Having apparently learned of the art museum incident, the people here appeared quite flustered.

They held their weapons and looked around warily, any slight movement making them uneasy.

Seeing this, Suika stopped being in a daze.

She pointed to a spot in the manor and shouted, "Gather here!"

The reverse application of Idle Dispersal is also a method of using the Density and Sparsity of Suika to host a banquet.
