Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 864: Reason

Several pit bulls bark wildly, restrained by thick iron chains. Though not as large as some dogs, they are exceptionally fierce, especially provoked by the smell of blood in the courtyard.

Su Xiao stands by the fountain pool, cleaning up the bloodstains on his body. He is at the residence of Ba Gu, not related to any mission, having successfully surpassed his physical limits.

His primary purpose in coming here is to investigate why those guards have such strong physical abilities, surpassing the limits of ordinary people.

Su Xiao feels annoyed by the pit bulls barking at him as he cleans the fresh blood off his body.

"Shut up."

Su Xiao turns his head towards the pit bulls. However, pit bulls are breeds cultivated later and have serious genetic defects. A large secretion of *** hormone allows them to ignore the pain in a short time and overcome the fear of other creatures.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

Su Xiao shakes his head. There\'s no point in arguing with a few genetically defective dogs. He turns and walks towards the mansion behind the courtyard.

Click.

A strap around the neck of one pit bull breaks, and without hesitation, it charges toward Su Xiao.

Five meters, three meters, two meters.

Suddenly, this fiercely charging pit bull stops, tucks its tail, and turns to run, a faint red aura enveloping it—something beyond mere fear.

Warning: Hunters do not use visible passive abilities in the real world. Already warned once.

He was receiving a warning from the Reincarnation Paradise, which surprised Su Xiao. He just used the \'Release Aura\' passive effect, inducing panic in the enemy.

While the Reincarnation Paradise didn\'t give a prompt when using the Blade Edge, this time, after using the Aura Release, he received a warning. It may be because aura release combines active and passive skills.

Although somewhat perplexed, Su Xiao doesn\'t delve deeper. He has already figured out several abilities that can be used in the real world.

Moreover, in the real world, where equipment and active skills can\'t be used, Su Xiao, who has developed four attributes simultaneously, is very strong, surpassing his imagination.

Su Xiao\'s accumulation of attributes differs greatly from that of other contractors. Most contractors accumulate details through attribute points and equipment, with a larger proportion of attribute points, say 50 points, with about 35–40 points added as permanent attributes. The remainder comes from temporary details added by equipment, which are ineffective in the real world!

Su Xiao is different; almost all his attributes are accumulated through attribute points, with little enhancement from equipment. He mostly chooses equipment that tends towards passive functional capabilities.

This is because Su Xiao is trying hard to avoid relying on himself rather than on equipment as the primary means of combat during battles.

While equipment is an important part of the strength system, certain risks, such as damage, suppression, interference from enemy abilities, etc., make the factors unstable.

As Su Xiao contemplates attributes and equipment, he pushes open the main door of the mansion, only to find a gun pointed at him.

"Don\'t move."

Zhi~

A glint flashes by, a sharp steel wire stained red with blood, droplets floating in the air.

"Ah!"

A butler in a suit screams, clutching his severed arm against the wall, blood staining the once-pristine white fence, and his face and lips rapidly turning pale due to intense pain and rapid blood loss.

"Where is the study?"

Su Xiao stands before the butler, flipping a short knife in his hand.

"It\'s upstairs, the third floor; turn left."

The butler\'s compromise is straightforward, without the pressure of betraying his boss, Ba Gu.

"Take me there. Who else is in the villa?"

Su Xiao slips a painkiller from his sleeve. Amidst the butler\'s terrified gaze, he injects the needle into the butler\'s neck.

After injecting the painkiller, the butler\'s mind clears a bit. He immediately removes his suit and wraps it around the wound on his severed arm.

"Several guards and Ba Gu\'s lover are still in the villa. Ba Gu is dead."

"Yes."

"Excellent!"

The butler\'s face lights up excitedly, surprising Su Xiao, who realizes something.

"Take me to Ba Gu\'s study, now."

The butler keeps his head down, swiftly heading upstairs, an ambition stirring within his eyes.

On the way upstairs, the butler says, "Sir, I can transfer Ba Gu\'s properties to your name and spare my life. I can help you."

"Okay."

Su Xiao smiles. Seeing this, the butler breathes a sigh of relief, unaware that Su Xiao\'s smile usually doesn\'t bode well.

Guided by the butler, Su Xiao quickly arrives at Ba Gu\'s study.

"This is Ba Gu\'s study. As for Ba Gu\'s assets, I can transfer his liquid funds..."

Before the butler finishes his sentence, Su Xiao slits his throat with a knife.

Splurt.

Blood sprays, and the butler, with his remaining arm, clutches his throat, blood seeping through his fingers.

"Why..."

With a thud, the butler falls.

"Why? Foolish question. Reading."

Su Xiao pushes open the door to the study. Initially, he didn\'t intend to kill the butler. After all, he was just a butler. However, the butler\'s excited expression upon learning of Ba Gu\'s death made Su Xiao cautious.

The butler\'s expression conveyed his lack of loyalty to Ba Gu and the possibility of him taking over Ba Gu\'s influence.

As for gaining control of Ba Gu\'s assets, that\'s a joke. Ba Gu was a drug lord, and numerous people had their eyes on his assets. Su Xiao\'s legal status in the country made him not want to turn his domestic status sensitive because of money.

If there was any possibility of the butler surviving earlier, after his numerous displays, he had to die.

Su Xiao had earlier severed one of the butler\'s arms. If he became another Ba Gu in the future, there would be endless troubles. Most people wouldn\'t easily forget the grudge of an arm being severed. Rather than gambling on the butler\'s magnanimity, Su Xiao chose a more direct approach.

This is the level of danger in this small town. One wrong choice could lead to a series of troubles.

Inside Ba Gu\'s study, Su Xiao starts rummaging through cabinets and drawers, quickly finding some documents.

Sitting on the leather chair, Su Xiao goes through the documents in his hand.

"I see."

Su Xiao tucks away the documents. He has now understood how those guards exceeded the limits of ordinary people.

The contractor he encountered in the basement earlier used to be a high-achieving chemistry student before entering the Reincarnation Paradise.

However, due to suddenly gaining supernatural powers, the student became arrogant. That wouldn\'t have mattered much, but encountering a destitute drug lord was unfortunate. That drug lord was Ba Gu.

After Ba Gu discovers the student\'s secret, he immediately gathers his few subordinates, wanting to control him. There\'s nobody who doesn\'t yearn for extraordinary power.
