Chapter 143: Leader of the Wolf Pack and the Wolf Pack Contract
Edward felt like he was dying. The agent had twisted his insides into a mess, and the spear had grazed his spine.
In a daze, he seemed to hear his family calling. His critically ill, six-year-old daughter was smiling at him, and his wife, that clumsy woman, was worried he was late again…
“I’m sorry,” he said softly. In the end, he hadn’t accomplished anything.
I’m sorry…
Knight Lance walked past Edward and raised his longsword, preparing to end the agent’s life. But just then, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Edward.
The man who should have died by now had stood up again. He looked at the knight, his gaze calm and indifferent, with a faint green fire burning within.
Before he could realize something was wrong, the knight was sent flying with a single punch, disappearing from the broken warehouse.
The “Edward” who had done this was expressionless. He didn’t even glance at anyone else on the scene, but instead walked slowly towards the agent.
The agent didn’t know what had happened. He just saw Edward wave his hand and send the knight, who had been putting immense pressure on him, flying. This power both shocked and terrified him, as if some powerful existence had swallowed Edward’s soul and revived from his weak and injured body.
And when “Edward” walked up to him and met his gaze, he finally understood everything.
The agent’s mouth hung agape, his body trembled, and a deep fear solidified in his eyes, threatening to pour out like liquid. His stammering words were like the whimpers of a mongrel dog, escaping his throat filled with terror.
“…Master!”
“You’re useless for anything important, and only good for messing things up.”
“Edward,” or rather, the Leader of the Wolf Pack, said indifferently to the agent.
After speaking, the Leader of the Wolf Pack looked at Moria, and Moria looked back. He instinctively held his sword horizontally in front of him. the sense of danger the other party gave him was incomparable to another异种 hunter. From the fact that the other party had sent Knight Lance flying out of the warehouse with a single blow, this feeling could not be wrong.
Moria was not sure what kind of magic the other party had used to improve his strength from Stage Two to the current level, but this did not affect his vigilance towards the other party’s every move.
“He is the leader of the Wolf Pack Club, also known as the Wolf Leader. He is a powerful but extremely cautious Transcendent, and no one knows his true identity yet.”
Princess Victoria of the Kingdom walked into the warehouse, holding an umbrella, followed by Knight Lance, whose armor was covered in mud and looked a bit disheveled.
“So he was faking it before?”
Moria was a bit confused. Since the other party was the leader of the Wolf Pack Club, he was also the boss of that Stage Three 异种 hunter. But the situation he saw when he first arrived was that the other party was being tormented by his own subordinate.
“It’s the Wolf Pack Contract,” said Li Wen, explaining calmly. “This is a contract that mimics the formation of werewolf packs. Anyone who writes their name on the contract must obey the orders of the lead wolf. The lead wolf can perceive their location, movements, emotional changes, etc., through the contract’s power. They can even remotely command them to die or go mad, or as they are doing now, kill the original will and descend their own consciousness. The Leader of the Wolf Pack must be using this contract to expand his influence.”
This should be the reason why the Wolf Pack Club has an unusually large number of Transcendent beings. With the Wolf Pack Contract, the Leader of the Wolf Pack can easily share his own dao path and not worry about the successor betraying him at all. And building underground casinos and selling diluted potions like ‘Cold Blood’ provides a continuous source of desperate gamblers and addicts as victims for the contract.
Since the contract requires both parties to willingly enter into it, desperate gamblers and addicts often make choices without thinking when they learn that they will be debt-free or receive drugs just by writing their names on paper.
It was precisely by using this that the Leader of the Wolf Pack had established a Transcendent organization in Leicester that was no less inferior to orthodox sects and societies. Moreover, due to the restraint of the Wolf Pack Contract, even though they had a large number of people, they rarely conflicted with forces like the Disciplinary Bureau and the Lagovin Family. The Disciplinary Bureau even tacitly allowed their existence because the Wolf Pack Club had indeed controlled a group of dangerous underclass people and prevented them from causing trouble.
When Li Wen noticed on the Magic Map that the Wolf Leader’s light spot and another person’s light spot perfectly overlapped, she began to consider this possibility. And when she found another inconspicuous light spot of the Wolf Leader in the Red Oak District on the map, she became certain of the possibility of the Wolf Pack Contract.
The Leader of the Wolf Pack himself had always been located in the Red Oak District and had never left, but his will had long since descended upon an unsuspecting poor soul.
This led to the current scene.
Should this Leader of the Wolf Pack be considered cautious, or arrogant? Or perhaps both.
Li Wen did not know if the unlucky fellow was someone the Leader of the Wolf Pack had specifically sent to die as a substitute, or what his identity was. The relationship between the other black wolf and the Wolf Leader seemed quite ambiguous; he was more like he was acting on his own rather than following orders… But honestly, none of this had anything to do with Li Wen.
She only knew one thing: the Leader of the Wolf Pack himself was still in the Red Oak District. What was present now was merely the vessel of his consciousness, his extended limbs, his eating utensils. Under the seemingly powerful oppressive aura, it remained to be seen how much of his original strength he could exert.
In other words, if she were to snatch the Sage Ovum Sheath from the Leader of the Wolf Pack, this would be her only chance.
She had Moria on her side, and Victoria was also coming for the Sage Ovum Sheath and would definitely get involved. Even if she didn’t have that intention, she would definitely retaliate after her subordinate was beaten. And if she counted Bailu… with 4.5 of them against one Stage Four that was not in full condition plus a half-crippled Stage Three, could they possibly lose?
The Leader of the Wolf Pack was unaware that someone was plotting to outnumber him. He put his hand into his ravaged abdomen, felt around for a moment, and took out a black object.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the object.
It was an ovum sheath the size of a fist. Its surface was extremely smooth, covered with black and red patterns like blood vessels. These patterns emitted an eerie, indescribable glow at regular intervals, as if it were breathing or beating its heart, and the ovum sheath slowly shrank with this rhythm.
That was the Sage Ovum Sheath!
As soon as everyone saw the object, this undeniable concept deeply embedded itself into everyone’s rationality and sensibility, impossible to avoid.
The Leader of the Wolf Pack didn’t even look at the thing in his hand and casually tossed it at his feet.
“A clumsy lie,” he said, glancing at the trembling Bailu in the corner, and then at the vigilant Li Wen.
“I wonder how many people would wish for Her Highness Victoria of the Royal Family to die here.”
The Leader of the Wolf Pack muttered, taking a step forward.
