Such a large-scale and elaborate robbery operation, only to yield such a meager reward, would likely leave anyone in that situation feeling uneasy.
Tucker's eyes were blazing with fury as he glared fiercely at Wangcai, as if he wanted to devour them alive.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his thick, powerful hand and grabbed Wangcai's thin neck like an eagle catching a chick, and pulled it up forcefully.
With a sharp "crack," Wangcai's fragile neck was snapped instantly. Despite such severe injury, Wangcai was still able to speak.
"I'll talk... I'll talk..." Wangcai managed to squeeze out these words from his throat, his voice trembling violently, clearly terrified.
After hearing Wangcai's words, Tucker hesitated for a moment before slowly releasing his grip on Wangcai's neck.
After being released, Wangcai collapsed to the ground, panting heavily and coughing violently. "Cough cough cough..." After a while, he recovered a little and said weakly, "I said that we really didn't do those looting things. You must have made a mistake!" After saying that, Wangcai showed a bitter face and looked very aggrieved.
However, Tucker didn't believe Wangcai's story at all. He glared at Wangcai and cursed viciously, "Stop trying to argue with me. You still dare to be stubborn at a time like this? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you die a horrible death today!" Before he finished speaking, Tucker rushed forward and kicked Wangcai hard.
Wangcai was rolling on the ground like a rag doll, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. The scene was extremely tragic.
Just then, Benson, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!" As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop Tucker, who was about to continue his violence.
Next, Benson took out a sophisticated testing device from his pocket, turned it on, and pointed it at T9527 and Wangcai to begin a full scan.
As the testing equipment emitted a slight buzzing sound, beams of green light moved back and forth across the two individuals.
Not long after, the test results came out, and the four brothers present were all stunned when they saw the data displayed on the screen.
Tucker's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself in disbelief, "Eighth stage of evolution? How is that possible? With such meager strength, how did they manage to plunder resources from so many worlds?"
Benson, who was standing to the side, frowned and said thoughtfully, "Actually, when I met that guy named Veru before, I already sensed that something was wrong."
At the time, I thought that guy's strength was pitifully weak, and I didn't expect that after this detailed test, the situation was indeed true." After saying that, Benson stared sharply at T9527 and Wangcai, as if trying to find the answer on their faces.
"Is it possible that their previous acts of plunder were actually carried out by the other five major powers, who secretly dispatched people to carry them out, and that they were merely used as pawns in the open?"
And all the resources plundered were ultimately handed over to the powerful forces hidden behind them! The creature, which resembled a giant bear, slowly spoke, revealing its speculation and explanation.
Benson shook his head repeatedly, indicating his disagreement: "This situation is unlikely to happen. If it is really as you say, that the five major powers are manipulating everything behind the scenes, then such a small amount of resources is insignificant compared to the good reputation they have painstakingly built up. It is not worth risking their reputation for this."
"Since we're racking our brains and making wild guesses without any conclusion, why bother? Let's just interrogate him directly!" Tucker, always an impatient man, couldn't wait to put his words into action and launched a fierce and ruthless interrogation of Wangcai without saying another word.
Disappointingly, no matter how much Tucker tried to coerce or bribe him, the result was exactly the same as before—Wangcai remained steadfast in his refusal to admit that they were the ones who did it.
Seeing that Tucker's methods were becoming increasingly ruthless, Wangcai was forced into a corner with no way out. His anger erupted instantly, and he decided to go all out, yelling a string of curses: "You shameless bastards! I've already told you the truth, but you just won't believe me! If you have the guts, then just finish me off right now and kill me!"
"Hmph, fine, since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish today!" Faced with Wangcai's provocation and insults, Tucker was finally enraged, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
In that instant, Wangcai, who had been stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, suddenly found its legs trembling uncontrollably when faced with a life-or-death situation. The fear in its heart surged like a tide, instantly overwhelming it.
Suddenly, Wangcai remembered what Gu Lingxiao had said to it before he left.
Although it sounded like a joke or an impossible promise at the time, at this moment, in this hopeless and desperate situation, it had no choice but to try anything, and screamed at the top of its lungs: "Gu Lingxiao, help! Someone is trying to kill your pet!"
The roar was like a thunderclap, deafening and echoing through the sky.
For a moment, all the creatures present were stunned, including Tucker and his group. They all stopped what they were doing and looked around in astonishment.
"Gu Lingxiao? Who exactly is he? Is he really the mysterious figure hiding behind you, just as you say?" Benson asked with a face full of suspicion.
Strangely enough, no matter what threats or inducements he had been subjected to before, Wangcai had gritted his teeth and had not revealed a single word about Gu Lingxiao.
However, Tucker wasn't having any of it. He snorted coldly, his face contorted with malice, and said viciously, "Hmph, don't think you can scare us by just calling out a name! Even if such a person really exists, I'll personally deal with you, you little bastard, today!" With that, Tucker stepped forward again, brandishing his gleaming blade, ready to pounce on Wangcai.
Just then, something unexpected happened—a dazzling halo suddenly appeared around Wangcai's body, followed by a brilliant beam of light that descended from the sky like lightning, striking Wangcai directly.
