Chapter 160 Contradictions and Conflicts

Chapter 160

“Of course, we will give you a huge stage to showcase your potential.” Sally smiled slightly. She was quite confident; after all, they were government officials, backed by a large country.

The power of a nation is extraordinary. Even though this place is still very underdeveloped, it can still meet many incredible demands.

Next, the four of them got into the car and left.

...

"Hey, I think I see Uncle Dejin."

As the car drove away, Vierlan glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a familiar figure. However, the car was going quite fast, and by the time she realized it, the figure had disappeared from sight.

"Ah, it's too late. Let's get together another time," Loya said dismissively.

"Please explain the monsters and Awakeners to us in detail," Loya asked impatiently.

Sally felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, these two would become her colleagues from now on, so when she heard Loya's question, she didn't hesitate to speak up.

Vierlan was also captivated, temporarily forgetting about Dekin's existence.

As Saridi recounted her story, Loya and Vierlan gained some understanding of the situation involving monsters and awakened beings.

It turns out that the monsters are parasites spread by ancient gods from beyond the planet, specifically sent to destroy the planet and weaken the world.

The awakened ones, however, are extraordinary beings born from the self-salvation of their planetary world.

These extraordinary individuals are basically chosen by the world's will and cannot awaken through cultivation.

At the same time, the blood of the awakened can cause serious damage to monsters when it is attached to various items.

In short, monsters are the minions of the Old Gods.

The Awakened are the way for planetary worlds to rebel against the minions of the Old Gods.

Upon learning this, Vierlan felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, realizing that she indeed had a natural mission.

However, Loya felt somewhat helpless.

He finally understood that this world was still in the Dharma-ending Age, and there was no such thing as the extraordinary.

The extraordinary that we are talking about, strictly speaking, consists of only two "extraordinary" aspects.

They are the planetary world plus the so-called Old Gods.

These two guys are the root of everything.

Strictly speaking, the battle between monsters and superhumans is also a fight between these two.

Humans are pawns, and so are monsters.

Without the permission of these two, there would be no natural, spontaneous, and entirely new superhumans.

"I wonder if I could steal the power of these two guys and make myself extraordinary?" Loya had a bold idea.

However, he then immediately abandoned that idea.

"Too much trouble."

"I'd rather use that time to develop hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs, stuff them into the Earth's core, and detonate the planet."

...

"The Savior has successfully awakened and made contact with official forces. Next, our Savior Organization will do its best to guide the Savior's growth and establish correct values."

Behind the car, in the crowd, Dejin spoke with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"But my dear friend is still alive and well, which is truly a sin," Dejin sighed again. To be honest, he was in a difficult position.

He already sensed that Loya wouldn't be easy to kill.

Especially now that she's gotten to know the official Awakened Ones, it's becoming difficult to eliminate Loya discreetly. If the authorities find out, and if Vierlan herself senses something's wrong, then things will get really troublesome.

"Hopefully, the opportunity will come soon."

"I don't want to continue like this. I must complete the mission as soon as possible." Dejin's heart was filled with determination and worry.

...

More than half an hour later, the car arrived at the gate of an unnamed building with a large entrance.

There don't seem to be many people here, and there aren't any obvious signs; it just looks like an ordinary building.

"This is the official base for Awakened Ones in Dawn City."

"It can be considered an exorcism bureau. It's an official department that's not much different from the police station."

Sally led everyone inside.

"Awakened beings are extremely rare among humans."

"So, it's very empty here."

"Right now, we are severely understaffed."

"We have no choice but to cooperate with the military of ordinary humans to create a demon-slaying team using demon-slaying tools."

"Unfortunately, demon-slaying tools are also very rare, making it impossible to mass-produce them on a large scale."

Sally led the way while explaining her story.

Soon, they arrived at an office on the third floor.

This is a huge gym.

A giant nearly three meters tall is holding a huge dumbbell and exercising frantically.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," this scene was incredibly awe-inspiring to ordinary people. The opponent exuded an oppressive aura, giving the impression of a monster possessing superhuman strength.

His breaths generated a vast airflow.

The heat he generated during his exercise also caused the surrounding temperature to rise, making it extremely hot.

“This is our director, Geng Ya,” Sally said lazily. She didn’t seem to have much respect for her superior.

"Wow, so tall!" Vierlan exclaimed in disbelief. It was the first time she had ever seen someone so big.

With a "bang," Geng Ya casually threw the dumbbell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble violently a few times.

He casually picked up a bath towel from the shelf next to him and wiped the sweat from his face. He walked over.

"I'm actually not that tall. Many monsters are like houses and skyscrapers."

"Child, imagine that scene,"

...

Vierlan did indeed make the connection, and her expression instantly turned pale.

"Are you afraid?" Gengya asked in a deep voice.

His voice was somewhat hoarse, and it sounded very authoritative.

“I’m not afraid.” Vierlan took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and said, “As long as it’s a good deed, then no matter what, I will have no regrets and will forge ahead.”

"Enough with the fancy words. If you can still act like this when you actually start killing, then you'll truly succeed," Geng Ya said, shaking his head.

Sally said irritably, "Chief, stop scaring people."

Geng Ya nodded: "Getting back to the main topic, from now on you will be a member of our Demon Extermination Bureau. Sally will guide you, teach you how to use your abilities. In addition, she will also help you get to know various monsters."

Vierlan nodded excitedly: "Shall we start killing now?"

Geng Ya shook his head: "We need to find the monster first before we can kill it. But before that, you need to learn how to fight and how to make good use of your abilities."

Vierlan was somewhat disappointed. In fact, she felt that her ability was simple and convenient, and did not require much practice.

However, since Gengya, as the leader, has said so, it's best for her to comply.

After all, they were doing it for her own good.

“Come with me.” Sally beckoned, signaling Villan to follow.

“Go ahead,” Loya said. His child had grown up; he needed to learn to let go. Otherwise, the child might stay a child forever. That wasn't what Loya wanted.

“As for you, please come with me. Fei Ke, you come here too. Next, we’ll go to the weapons manufacturing plant.” Geng Ya finally turned his attention to Luo Ya.

"Yes, sir." Fei Ke was somewhat pleased, seemingly happy to serve Geng Ya.

...

Next, Loya was taken to a secret weapons manufacturing plant outside the city; it was quite large. It was said to be the weapons supply depot for several major cities in the vicinity.

However, Loya seemed somewhat disgusted.

Because the equipment here is very old and outdated, it's impossible for him to show off his skills.

However, it's still better here than staying at home.

At the same time, there were other people who cooperated with him.

This made him feel much more at ease.

And so, Loya settled in the construction factory.

Meanwhile, Vierlan grew stronger alongside Sally. The father and daughter were temporarily separated.

...

To build the factory canteen.

The numerous workers were eating, drinking, chatting, and joking around in a lively atmosphere.

"Hey, have you heard? A firearms expert has come to our factory. He's going to create something that's hundreds of years ahead of our time."

"I've heard about it, but I don't think they're really that good."

"Just a braggart, an unknown nobody."

"Hmph, you're right, in my opinion, we're the experts."

...

Before people knew it, they started talking about Loya.

They were all very dissatisfied with Loya.

There was even more envy, jealousy, and hatred.

There's no way around it; with such strong support and high expectations, and receiving so many preferential treatments and resources, their future is clearly bright.

They are all veterans, yet they are now being suppressed by a newcomer whose identity is unknown.

Under normal circumstances, who the hell would be convinced?

Moreover, what people dislike most is "admission." They instinctively assume the worst about others.

"Hey, isn't this our firearms expert, Loya? You're so amazing, why are you eating here? Shouldn't you be able to fill your stomach by drinking engine oil and eating gunpowder?"

Suddenly, a strange, sarcastic voice rang out from the front door.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a fair-skinned, burly man blocking the way of an equally tall man.

In an instant, everyone's expressions turned amused.

"Isn't that Cha Lou? That guy is petty and a scoundrel. He was severely punished not long ago for crippling Old Jack."

"Hmph, he's no good either. He's forced a lot of female employees."

"Hehehe, the experts we attracted are going to be in trouble now."

"Hey, Cha Lou, let this newbie know how powerful you are."

"New guy, don't be a coward, act like a man and do it!"

...

The crowd looked on with a smug, amused expression, as if they were watching a spectacle unfold.

They didn't try to stop them at all. On the contrary, they cheered and jeered recklessly.

"Tsk, it looks awful." Loya frowned, looking impatient. "Don't disturb my meal."

Seeing Luo Ya's attitude, the teahouse owner was enraged. "Trash, how dare you talk to Grandpa Cha Lou like that? Who do you think I am?"

He took a step forward and rammed his chest against the ground.

“A childish trick, kid. Listen to me, don’t be impulsive.” Loya took a step back, dodging the attack.

However, Loya's forbearance only made Chalou arrogant and contemptuous. "Trash, coward, who are you calling a child?"

With a "whoosh," Chalou clenched his fist and struck at Loya.

Loya continued to retreat, effortlessly dodging the punches.

Before they knew it, the onlookers all quieted down.

They weren't idiots either; in fact, as bystanders, they saw much more.

Loya's ability to dodge Charo's punches so easily is clearly extraordinary; he's quite impressive.

"Well, this new guy is pretty good. That trash, Cha Lou, looks like he's going to be in trouble."

"Hehehe, you've really impressed me. But this factory isn't a military base. What's the point of having strong military force? Only the best weapons you can produce are truly powerful."

"Damn it, I can't get to see the excitement."

...

"Factory manager, should we stop it?"

There is an office building next to the cafeteria.

At that moment, in a room upstairs, a young woman was asking an old man sitting by the window.

“No need, these kids are quite interesting.” The old man smiled. “I’m curious to see if the ones Gengya brought are very capable.”

...

“Child, I advise you to calm down,” Loya said helplessly. “You’re all grown up now, not a child anymore.”

However, these words only made Chalou angrier. He felt that Loya was mocking himself, and Loya's nonchalant attitude not only failed to make him feel Loya's strength, but also made him even more ferocious.

"Trash, trash, all you do is dodge, huh?"

"Are you even a man? Fight back, fight back!"

"You're dead, your whole family is dead. I'm going to kill you, then strip you naked and taste your ass."

...

Although the barrage of insults failed to truly harm Loya, Loya's "gentle attitude" vanished without a trace.

"Sigh, if you don't court death, you won't die."

Loya dodged Chalou's punch by sidestepping. He then shifted to the side, slamming his shoulder into Chalou's right chest.

With a "bang," Cha Lou's eyes widened, and his entire body flew out uncontrollably, crashing into the door frame four meters away.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"That piece of trash, Cha Lou, was actually killed in an instant."

"Wow, this newcomer is definitely a top expert."

...

The scene became lively, and everyone looked quite excited, not at all calm.

"Honestly, I just wanted to build weapons in peace and quiet." Loya didn't care about the commotion he had caused. He went to the back of the cafeteria, got a bunch of food, and began to eat.

"Hey buddy, that was really impressive!" A dark-haired young man in his twenties approached enthusiastically.

"Dude, I'm Château, and I'm new here just like you."

"Unfortunately, I'm not as good as you."

"Not long ago, those old guys kept bullying me,"

"Damn it, especially that bastard Cha Lou."

"What you did today really helped us newbies get our revenge."

...

This guy seems to be a chatterbox.

Loya ate his steak bite by bite, showing no intention of replying, while Châtelot continued talking enthusiastically, seemingly unaware that Loya had no intention of engaging in conversation.

"Hey, we're all new here, so we need to help each other out."

"I believe that with you by our side, we will definitely not be bullied by those old people," Châteiro finally explained his purpose.

“I’m sorry, kid.” Loya finally finished his food, looked up at the young man, and said, “I’m not here to work.”

"I'm just here to invent things."

"Yes, you can treat me as someone who's just passing through."

"I can't help you, because I'll be leaving here soon..."

After speaking, Loya turned and left.

Château froze, staring blankly as Loya walked away.

After a while, he lowered his head, clenching his fists in resentment: "How selfish! If you don't want to help, then don't. What are you saying? How hypocritical."

"You just look down on newcomers like us."

...

Loya had no idea that this young man had misunderstood him and harbored strong resentment towards him.

At this moment, he returned to the large factory building a few hundred meters away, where he operated a large machine and began his work.
