"Divine power!"
Rumor had it that slaughtering a "god" would grant you that "god's" power.
And that rumor had been proven true in both Zhen, the leader of Piercing Thorn, and "Deathbird" 2567.
Yet he had not gained Deathbird's "divine power."
Instinctively, Fergus looked at Deathbird.
Then he saw Qin Ran pull the Godforsaken Crossbow Bolt straight out of his chest and examine it closely.
"Impossible!"
"You were hit by it! How can you be unharmed?"
"This is impossible!"
Fergus shouted.
Holding the bolt, "Qin Ran" gave a disdainful smile, then flashed in front of Fergus. Before Fergus could react at all, he raised a finger and pressed it against his forehead.
Immediately, Fergus was drawn into an illusion.
Without even realizing it himself, Fergus began spilling secrets hidden deep in his heart.
The smile on "Qin Ran's" face remained unchanged, but Hayden Ao was another matter.
The Funeral Society branch director's expression shifted repeatedly. As he heard more, he could not help crying out in alarm.
"How could this be..."
"Your Eminence, we need to act quickly."
"Otherwise, all of Forest City is doomed!"
Hayden Ao spoke urgently.
"Doomed?"
"How could that happen?"
"Someone has already made his move."
"Qin Ran" shook his head, then muttered so quietly that only he could hear, "That guy would sleep with one eye open if he could. Playing your little schemes and tricks against him? You really have a death wish!"
With that, "Qin Ran" sighed regretfully.
Following the avenue along the left side of Rossro Park to its end brought you to a winding cobblestone path that sloped downhill, lined on both sides with all manner of shops.
Starting with the bakery, cheese shop, and sausage shop at the very front, there were also clothing shops, boot shops, and more.
