Chapter 307 - 307: Ashore & Trouble
It was his good luck to still have a few underwater propellers from his monthly train trip to Africa otherwise it would be really difficult for him to run from that situation.
Without losing time, he immediately took out one of those propellers and started leaving the place without turning his head back.
It was his good luck that the place didn\'t seem overly populated by sharks, and he had met only about 5 of them, otherwise things would be much more difficult.
The sharks were still busy trying to rip apart the meat in their mouths so they had no time to think about Eric\'s escape.
As soon as he placed a bit of distance between him and the sharks, Eric took off his clothes, and let them drift in the ocean waters, as he took out two Health Potion bottles and swallowed them in.
It wasn\'t that he still feared that venom from the snakes but the fact that his injuries were still bleeding, and that he didn\'t have much stamina.
Closing his wounds as soon as possible, and recovering his stamina was a must, not to mention that he also had to protect himself from getting a cold, and sick.
Even though normal viruses weren\'t as much effective as before on his body, it didn\'t mean that he was immune.
Combined with the venom of the snakes, he had to make sure that his body didn\'t get hyperthermia, otherwise, things would get difficult.
With those thoughts in mind, two Medium Health Potion bottles were enough for him to take care of the most pressing problems as he made his way towards the shore only in his boxers.
It took him quite some time to reach the shore, and by the time he reached there, he was already out of breath and trembling.
Even though he was a level 60 fighter according to his Legacy System, he still ended in such a situation when he reached the shore.
He had neither the time nor the luxury to think about saving his SP points, and his Health Potions at that moment, as he took another one, and then started cultivating as he lied in there.
There was one thing that he had been able to learn by trial and mistake during this time, he could cultivate in whatever position he wished, the only mandatory step was that he was fully concentrated.
For that reason, he could easily cultivate as he was lying there on the shore, but he couldn\'t stay there for a long time either, as this place was full of vile people.
In fact, this place had become much like a trash can full of trash, that went around trying to get rid of each other, as they searched for that golden ticket.
The golden ticket, in this case, was his \'non-existent\' Master. Well, they could do whatever they wished, after all as long as these guys were here, it meant that his Senkaku Islands wouldn\'t be blown away.
Sometimes the chaos is the best sign of showing the existence and this was precisely what was going on at that moment.
But he didn\'t have much time, he had to be quick on the uptake and immediately go look for the entrance to the Holy Grounds.
With those thoughts in mind, he stood there lying on the shore, and cultivating only for a few more minutes, and then opened his eyes, sensing his surroundings.
He had already sensed 3 or 4 people in his surroundings keeping an eye on him, ready to act any moment now, but he didn\'t have many thoughts about them.
They weren\'t weak, but they weren\'t strong either, in his eyes they were average at best, as they were around level 30-35.
He had stayed there like that for quite some time waiting for them to make a move, but that move never happened.
So, with his tiredness gone, and his state becoming slowly better, he took got up took off his boxers went for a quick bath in the water, and then started dressing up.
His clothes seemed to be appearing out of thin air, and as soon as he was all dressed up he started running in the opposite direction of his \'watchers\'.
If it wasn\'t really necessary, he didn\'t want to kill these guys left and right, as it would only increase the trouble upon himself at the moment.
Each and every one of these guys in these islands was an agent or a figure of a powerful organization, that he didn\'t have the resources or power to fight at the moment.
He had to try his best to not kill everyone crossing his way, and create troubles for himself. At least not at the moment anyway.
Man proposes but Heaven disposes.
Just because he didn\'t want to find fault and kill others didn\'t mean that others didn\'t want to. As in fact those guys observing him couldn\'t think about anything else at the moment.
This fresh chick was the best, not only hadn\'t he been able to notice them observing, but he had also used a Space storage object in front of their eyes.
It was an object that would usually sell for at least 1 million dollars, and that was the worst of the worst, they had hit jackpot without expecting it.
There was no way they were allowing him to leave the place, or escape. They had decided to kill him quickly and then take everything he had.
Who knew what might he have inside that storage object. If they were lucky enough perhaps there would be much more money and other stuff in there that would make even the storage object worthless.
So, they followed him for a few minutes, and when they were finally assured that he wasn\'t going to meet anyone else soon, they immediately jumped around him and cut his way.
Now there was no escape for him, he was a dead man.
On the other hand, Eric just patiently stopped on his track, as he started looking at the people around him, there were 3 men and 1 woman.
Those 3 guys had European features and looked more like killers and thieves than they looked like agents, while the woman had one of those hot big-sister thief types.
It was quite interesting in his eyes, as he looked at what them and said in a calm and natural voice,
"Is something the matter guys!?"
One of those 3 guys looked at him with vicious eyes, started licking a knife he had in his hands and said to him with a mocking tone,
"Tell big brother, you have a storage object, don\'t you!?"
"Yup, I have a storage ring, it doesn\'t have much space, so I was thinking of upgrading it, why do you ask?"
Inside Eric was laughing himself to death, just what kind of stupid thief would come and ask such a question? But he thought this guy was funny so he decided to play a bit with him.
"Very well, very well, tell big brother what do you have inside that storage ring?"
"Uggh~!"
"Don\'t worry, don\'t worry big brother is not a shady guy!"
"Well, not much, just a few million dollars, a few weapons, bombs, underwater propellers, gold, diamonds, and stuff like that!"
These guys had already decided to kill him and rob that storage ring away, but hearing all that their greed started climbing higher and higher.
They couldn\'t believe their luck for this night, it was probably the night that their future was going to change.
By this time that guy asking question had approached Eric quite a bit, as he walked behind him, raised his hand, and then the knife came falling down on Eric\'s neck.
Even if it didn\'t kill him, it would certainly cripple him. It was quite the vicious move, that was accompanied by his words,
"Then why don\'t you die for big brother! Hahaha~!"
That guy already felt like the storage ring, and everything inside it was in his hands, so he couldn\'t help himself from being extremely happy at that moment.
In the next second, Eric was going to end up wasted, or dead, and he would become a damn wealthy man, what more could he ask from life.
But no matter how much he awaited the knife didn\'t seem to be landing on Eric\'s neck, as Eric had even turned his head towards him and was looking at him with a weird look, as he said,
"Why should I die for big brother? Why doesn\'t big brother die for me? You know like those words, the old generation makes way for the young!"
With that said, the knife that was supposed to be on the attacker\'s hand falling towards Eric\'s neck, appeared on his hand, and with a sharp swing, it decapitated the guy in one move.
In fact, it was just his head that was disconnected from his body, as his right hand was fully disconnected.
Everything happened so suddenly, and so weirdly that the other guys around them didn\'t have the opportunity to think and act in this situation.
They were trained people, so they had seen their fair share of blood, and skill, but this was something that none of them was able to see through.
Even though Eric looked like some ordinary guy in front of them, they were fully assured that he was a monster they shouldn\'t dare to offend.
But when they finally understood that, it was already extremely late, as they had no other opportunity but to witness him disappearing and then light turning out, losing their conscience…
