Universe Infinite Canteen

"I think at this time we should try to put aside personal grudges and individual preferences, and unite all our strength. What do you say?"

"Makes sense," Ma Lu nodded.

Boggy responded solemnly, "Repelling the beast tide and defending the Giant Curtain is the most important thing at the moment. Other matters should make way for this."

Upon hearing this, Sanrew\'s usually expressionless face showed a rare hint of a smile.

"Good, it looks like we have reached a consensus."

He seemed to have truly just come to say hello; after his few remarks, he turned and went back to the man he was speaking with before.

Watching Sanrew\'s retreating back, Boggy mused, "When he mentioned personal grudges just now, was he hinting at Jinjian\'s affair?"

"Not necessarily. He might just be probing us," said Ma Lu. "By the way, do you know who that chubby man by his side is?"

"Vice Chairman Zheng Shi Xun. Rumor has it that Sanrew has many high-ranking friends who have always been protecting Black Horn; that\'s why a lot of people know that Black Horn\'s business isn\'t clean, but they still manage to remain above the law.

"What about Judge Dionysus, what is his stance towards Black Horn?"

"Judge Dionysus has always wanted to initiate a trial against Sanrew and those people from Black Horn, but unfortunately, the police don\'t cooperate with the arrests, and Judge Dionysus doesn\'t really have enough evidence in his hands."

Boggy paused, "I think we can cooperate with Judge Dionysus to deal with Black Horn, especially since you have just saved his daughter."

"We could give it a try."

Even though he said that, Ma Lu didn\'t hold much hope for Dionysus. As the First Judge of the Giant Curtain, Dionysus had spent his life abiding by the rules, which were of little use against someone like Sanrew.

Otherwise, Dionysus wouldn\'t have been helpless against Black Horn for such a long time.

Jinjian once said that the power behind Sanrew was much greater than many people imagined; it didn\'t seem to be a lie.

However, Ma Lu had never thought of bringing Sanrew to justice, let alone tracing up the vine to uproot the corrupt forces behind him as well.

He had no interest in purifying the political environment of the Giant Curtain; from beginning to end, he had only been considering how to solve the crisis facing his Hunting Group.

Assassinating Sanrew was obviously the simplest and most economical solution.

Once Sanrew was dead, Black Horn would be headless, and then playing the card of Dionysus at that moment, those high-profile figures behind Sanrew would be busy disassociating themselves from Black Horn; no one would stand up for a dead person.

But this matter could only be done secretly, and Ma Lu even planned not to tell Boggy.

Sanrew clearly had studied Boggy\'s character; his speech just now might have been useless to others, but Boggy was indeed the kind of person who would put defending the Giant Curtain above her own safety.

Thus, she probably wouldn\'t attack Sanrew again before the end of the beast tide.

But Ma Lu didn\'t plan to let Sanrew live beyond the beast tide, and he suddenly realized that this crisis was, in fact, an excellent opportunity to move against Sanrew.

In the face of a disaster that could potentially destroy a city, the death of a few Hunters was nothing out of the ordinary.

If it came down to after the beast tide, Ma Lu was certain that Sanrew would act first.

However, there\'s no rush with that matter for now. According to Mai Mai\'s explanation, the beast tide has only just begun. In history, a beast tide can last as short as two weeks to as long as a month. There will definitely be an opportunity to deal with Chief Sanrew later.

In comparison, the matter of hunting high-star ingredients is more pressing.

Ma Lu glanced at his Traveler\'s Bracelet, noting that there were less than 6 hours left until the end of this hunt.

Everything is ready, it\'s time to make a big score.

Just then, the Hunter\'s Guild also issued a new mission, hoping to recruit more hands to clear the beasts near Gate 1.

Based on the number and danger level of beasts hunted, the guild would award electric currency and hunting group contribution points.

Electric currency is equivalent to cash within the Giant Curtain, while contribution points, as Ma Lu understood, were akin to experience points for the hunting group.

Previously, Twin Sunflower Hunting Group had successfully advanced to bronze by hunting a Giant Claw Lord, thus unlocking the rights to use the storage point and the rental function of the Air Transport.

Going further up, it was said that there were additional services such as emergency rescue, personal insurance, worry-free medical care, restaurant reservations, free car washing, and even golden VIP access to nightclubs.

Moreover, as the level increased, the guild\'s cut of each hunt would decrease, with Diamond Hunting Groups only subjected to a 1% commission.

No wonder all hunting groups want to level up, but aside from the somewhat easier progression from unranked to bronze, the contribution points required for advancing further were massive, and there were strict requirements for advancement; one must either hunt sufficiently rare prey or make an exceptional contribution to the city.

Since the Golden Leopard had recently appeared outside the city, and had killed several teams, many hunting groups were very cautious about accepting the mission this time.

When Boggy and Ma Lu arrived, only five hunting groups had accepted the mission.

Ma Lu looked at the list, and not unexpectedly, Flame Tooth was there, but alas, Black Horn was not.

Boggy filled out the application form for Twin Sunflower Hunting Group and signed his name underneath.

After handing the form back to the staff for verification and to get stamped, they successfully accepted the mission.

20 minutes later, Seta and Sadie also arrived at the guild. After entering the city, they first sent the exhausted Mai Mai home to rest, then went home themselves to reassure their parents, before coming back to regroup with Ma Lu and Boggy.

Thanks to a 405% stamina bonus, even though they had been on the move for over a dozen hours and had been through several battles, the siblings still looked spirited and showed no signs of fatigue.

Especially Seta, who was full of enthusiasm. He could feel the explosive power contained within his body; every cell was craving for combat. Read new chapters at m_v-l\'e|-NovelBin.net

On the way back to the city, apart from crafting several Sand Soil Puppets to help spread blinding conditions, he had no chance to take action and had been holding back until now.

He had hoped to make big moves this time, but became anxious when he heard the task assigned to him by Ma Lu, protesting,

"What? Why am I on support again? No, this time I\'m not even support, vice captain, you\'re just using me as a laborer!"

Ma Lu patted his shoulder, "Can\'t help it, who made your Sand Soil Puppets so suitable for hauling? Besides, the captain will be with you too, you two will bring back the prey to the city. Don\'t worry, there will definitely be a moment for you to shine later. And aren\'t you short on money? This time you can definitely make a big profit."

Hearing about the potential big profit, Seta had no more objections.

Then, Ma Lu said to Sadie, "You\'re coming up the wall with me, we\'re responsible for the output. It takes time for your Thorns to grow again, right? So, this time, just use conventional weapons. Did you bring the ranged weapon I asked you to?"

Sadie nodded, "I brought a bow and arrows. I usually practice with them, and they have a longer range too."

"Good, then let\'s get ready to move!"
