“Rat” heard this, his howling stopped, and he glared straight at Su Kai with bloodshot, hateful eyes.
Su Kai didn’t waste any more breath.
He raised the Nether Blade and gave a light swing toward “Rat’s” neck.
Swish.
A head wearing a baseball cap rolled away, while the headless corpse twitched twice before completely stopping.
Su Kai shook his arm blade, and seeing that the edge was clean and spotless, he couldn’t help but nod inwardly.
“Really convenient.”
He walked over, picked up the two large bags of loot, and weighed them in his hand; they were quite heavy, and the bulging bags contained quite a lot.
Inside, besides cash, there were likely other valuables swiped from the stronghold, like hard drives and jewelry.
“Mine, it’s mine after all,” Su Kai muttered.
“Trying to intercept my loot?
Do you even deserve it?!”
He looked back at the corpse on the ground.
Kimiko’s brother, “Rat,” had just been slaughtered by him, though he didn’t know if it would affect the plot.
But then he thought about it, what did it have to do with him?
If he’s dead, he’s dead.
As long as it doesn’t affect him, who cares.
Besides, the current Kimiko seemed to still be locked up somewhere.
Su Kai stopped thinking about it.
Having transmigrated into this hellish world and awakened such a system, he never intended to be some saint.
Anyone who blocks his path or provokes him, whoever it is, gets killed without exception.
This is the way to survive.
He carried the two big bags and looked at his own eye-catching Black Heavy Armor.
Time to retreat.
With a thought.
The Black Heavy Armor and Nether Blade dissipated into points of light.
He turned back into the Su Kai wearing dark sportswear.
Only now, he had two bulging bags in his hands.
“Void Jellyfish, scan the surroundings, confirm there are no witnesses, and plan the most concealed return route.”
The necklace on his neck grew slightly warm.
An invisible wave instantly swept across the surroundings.
[Scan complete.
No active human vital signs within a three-kilometer radius.
Suggested route: Return along the wilderness on the east side of the county road, avoiding main highways and residential areas.]
“OK.”
Su Kai picked up the bags, immediately moved his body, submerged into the darkness by the roadside, and soon disappeared.
Only the headless corpse by the county road slowly grew cold under the pale moonlight.
…
Three hours later, Su Kai finally returned to his temporary residence in Granville Point, carrying the two heavy handbags.
He closed the door, drew the curtains, and only then did he throw the bags onto the floor.
Clang, the sound was muffled; one could tell just by hearing it that there were many good things inside.
“Let me see how much extra money I made this time.”
He squatted down and unzipped the first bag.
Inside, it was filled with bundles of hundred-dollar bills, neatly tied with rubber bands, some even still having bank seals, stuffing the bag completely full.
Looking at the scale, it probably wasn’t less than one million dollars.
“Holy crap…”
Su Kai blinked, dumped all the cash inside onto the floor beside him.
Soon, a green mountain piled up on the floor.
He unzipped the second bag.
Inside this bag, besides more cash, there were some gold bars, jewelry, several hard drives, and a few passports.
“Good guy,” Su Kai chuckled, “This ‘Rat’ worked quite efficiently, taking everything.”
He roughly counted the cash.
The two bags together totaled over 3.2 million dollars.
Adding the gold bars and jewelry, the total value was heading straight for five million.
“This extra income…
doing it occasionally is actually quite nice.”
Su Kai looked at the mountain of money on the floor, his mood truly quite pleasant.
Star Energy farmed, practical combat experience gained, and now the money is in hand.
Triple win.
However, happy as he was, there was still a question in his mind that hadn’t been solved.
“Rat,” wasn’t this guy a stowaway?
How did he run to Ohio now?
And even set his sights on his extra income?
Is this timeline a bit messy?
“Void Jellyfish.”
Su Kai thought, and the necklace on his neck grew slightly warm.
A translucent blue-white jellyfish phantom appeared beside him, its core light point flickering calmly.
“Connect to the network, query all records related to Superhumans entering the United States through irregular channels in the last three months, focus on searching for the codename ‘Rat,’ and any smuggling cases potentially related to Vought International.”
He gave the order.
The Void Jellyfish’s core light point immediately began to flicker rapidly.
An invisible sensory field spread out, directly infiltrating the surrounding wireless network signals, and silently invaded databases in various regions along the data torrent.
Internal records of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), some vague reports from border surveillance, and even some trading information from the underground black market…
The chaotic data stream was quickly filtered and organized.
A few seconds later, clear information was fed back.
[Query complete.]
[Target “Rat” (real name to be verified) entered the country illegally 17 days ago from the Arizona section of the US-Mexico border, along with the “Viper” smuggling group.]
[This batch totaled 9 people, all suspected of having injected or carrying unknown compounds.]
[Target “Kimiko” was not found in records from the same period.]
[Related information: In the past six months, at least five Superhuman smuggling cases similar to the “Viper” group have been detected.
The whereabouts of the personnel after entry are unknown, and there are traces of artificial erasure in official records.]
[Some vague clues point to…
Vought International peripheral security contractors.]
[Conclusion: There is an organized Superhuman smuggling chain, and Vought International is suspected of participating in or utilizing this chain.]
“As expected…”
Su Kai touched his chin.
“Can’t get rid of Vought International’s involvement.”
These guys, on the surface, build shiny, glamorous superheroes, but behind the scenes, they have always been doing these shady dealings.
Supplying compounds to terrorists is for their own profit; smuggling Superhumans in is probably also for their own profit.
As for why they smuggle them in?
It must be to act as black gloves, do dirty work, and serve as experimental subjects.
“However…”
Su Kai looked at the money on the floor, and then at the information fed back by the Void Jellyfish, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
He is developing quite comfortably now, but if he keeps using “The Deep’s” identity to mask himself and mess with Vought International, he will likely leave clues sooner or later.
Vought International isn’t stupid, and Stan Edgar is even less so.
Once or twice they might not be able to find out, but if it happens too many times, it will inevitably lead them to suspect him, the former member of The Seven who was just “exiled” and possesses “water control” abilities.
