“No, not your property, but Black Bear’s.” The black giant chuckled, secretly observing Blood瞳’s expression. Seeing Blood瞳 frown almost imperceptibly, he immediately changed his tone.

“Of course, now it belongs to you. Only you here have the qualification.”

“Very good.” Blood瞳 nodded indifferently. “Then can someone tell me, what are these uninvited guests doing in my yard? Does entering someone else’s territory not require the owner’s consent?”

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Seeing Blood瞳 so assertive, the black giant not only didn’t get angry, but grinned. “But I’m just a spectator. Well, you know, a lot of people like excitement. I happen to be one of them. Let me introduce myself, I’m Henry, East Street is my territory.”

Saying that, the black giant extended his hand. Blood瞳 silently stared at him for a while, then slowly reached out and shook his hand.

“Blood瞳.”

“Ha, nice to meet you, powerful hunter. Then we are friends. If you need any help, just ask. Although I, Henry, am not a big shot, my words still carry some weight in the East Street area. Also, I like to tinker with small gadgets. You can also look for me if you need anything.” The black giant said with a grin, winking at Blood瞳.

He looked rough, but was actually a very shrewd person. With a few words, he had drawn closer to Blood瞳, distinguishing himself from the other two leaders. But how could this kind of scheming be hidden from the other two?

The boy in the suit frowned and stepped forward. “I’m Biso. I’m in charge of West Street. I know your name is Blood瞳, so you don’t need to introduce yourself. Regarding our intrusion here, I… apologize.”

“I’m Kovop, I manage the South Street area. Mr. Blood瞳 seems familiar. I think I’ve seen you somewhere.” This was the self-introduction of the richly dressed old man. Hearing his words, Blood瞳 was stunned. This was indeed possible, because he used to be active in the South Street area. If the other party was the local bigwig there, knowing him wouldn’t be difficult.

The three leaders all expressed goodwill towards Blood瞳, giving him considerable face. As they spoke, their subordinates also quieted down and obediently walked out.

Blood瞳 invited the three to sit down in the hall. Only then did he coldly say, “I know your intentions. I can also tell you. I’m not interested in your struggles. I’m just here to receive the property. If you are interested in something here, then offer a price.”

“Oh?” The old man raised an eyebrow, revealing a fox-like smile. “So, Mr. Blood瞳, you accept trades? As long as the price is right, anything Black Bear left behind can be obtained?”

Hearing the old man say this, Henry and Biso next to him both tensed up, their expressions becoming serious.

All of this fell into Blood瞳’s eyes. But he just nodded silently, acknowledging the old man’s statement.

“Good!” The old man said loudly. “Then it’s simple. Since Mr. Blood瞳 is so straightforward, I’ll directly offer this number.”

He held up five fingers.

“Fifty Gold Vicks?” Henry sneered dismissively. “Kovop, you’re too stingy.”

“No, five hundred!” Kovop raised an eyebrow and replied loudly. He looked very confident. If it came to force, he was only one of the weakest among the local bullies of Shelter 27, but when it came to wealth, he wouldn’t yield to anyone. Because he controlled South Street, the wealthiest area in Shelter 27, the distribution center for medicine and mutated beast organs.

Five hundred Gold Vicks was a considerable sum anywhere. But it didn’t stump the remaining two leaders. However, they didn’t seem to have any intention of immediately bidding, but instead turned their gazes to Blood瞳.

Blood瞳 still said expressionlessly, “This sum isn’t small. But if I’m not mistaken, what you want is actually this…”

Saying that, Blood瞳 waved his hand, and Coby in the back immediately ran out of the room, returning after a while, dragging two tattered iron boxes.

The three leaders immediately breathed heavily, their eyes revealing greedy gazes.

Of course they knew what this was. This was the reason they couldn’t wait to get here. Armor, the armor Black Bear obtained from Lord Kester. As long as they controlled this thing, dominating Shelter 27 was within reach.

But their smiles only lasted for a moment before freezing on their faces. After Coby opened the boxes, the armor inside was so tattered that it was unrecognizable. The heavy armor was covered in dents, and one of the armors even had its limbs severed. A large number of parts and gears were piled randomly in the boxes, looking like two piles of scrap iron.

The three of them immediately gasped, looking at Blood瞳 as if they were looking at a monster.

How terrifying must the power be to turn the armor into this state? Although the armor was known as single-soldier armor, its strength was comparable to that of old-era armored vehicles. Blood瞳 actually destroyed it to this extent. Could it be that a giant mutated beast was hidden beneath his human appearance?

Just as the three leaders were looking at each other, Blood瞳’s cold voice rang out. “As you can see, these two sets of armor are already broken. But I only cut off their limbs. The most important drive unit and intelligent brain are still intact. So five hundred Gold Vicks is not enough to take them away.”

“This… this…” Kovop, who had been generous just now, had an embarrassed expression. He never dreamed that Blood瞳 had seen through their plans at a glance. Five hundred Gold Vicks was indeed a lot. But if it was to exchange for two sets of armor, it was far from enough. Even damaged armor couldn’t be taken down for five hundred Gold Vicks. He had been pretending to be generous, but was actually being laughed at.

The black man, Henry, laughed mercilessly, and even the always indifferent suit-wearing boy, Biso, revealed a hint of sarcastic smile.

“Alright, old fox, stop showing off your skills.” The black man, Henry, laughed loudly, walked over, and said directly to Blood瞳, “Blood瞳… Mr. I’ll offer seven hundred Gold Vicks. In addition, I’ll add an AK74 rifle and a thousand rounds of ammunition. I want these two sets of armor. What do you think?”

“One thousand Gold Vicks.” The suit-wearing boy suddenly spoke, concisely.

“Hey, Biso. Your subordinates are in the headhunting business, what are you competing with me for?” Henry immediately complained with great dissatisfaction. But he didn’t raise the price again. He couldn’t take out a thousand Gold Vicks. But doing so would greatly damage his vitality. And a thousand Gold Vicks to buy two damaged sets of armor wasn’t appropriate. This price was enough to buy a standard set of armor that was eighty percent new.

“I like it. It’s none of your business.” The boy, Biso, still had a cold expression. Not even looking at Henry.

At this moment, Kovop, who was ashamed, shouted loudly, “Two thousand! I’ll offer two thousand Gold Vicks!!”

“Are you crazy?” This time, Henry and Biso were both startled, staring at Kovop in horror.

Two thousand Gold Vicks, this sum of money was too large. At least Henry and Biso couldn’t take it out. In the entire Shelter 27, apart from the already dead Black Bear, probably only the South Street boss, Kovop, had this strength. But the question was, was it worth it? If this money was used to buy weapons, it would be enough to arm hundreds of people. Even buying new armor would be enough. Why insist on buying these two piles of wreckage??

But Kovop still had red eyes, gritting his teeth and shouting, “Two thousand Gold Vicks. Mr. Blood瞳. I’ll offer two thousand Gold Vicks! As long as you can agree to one condition.”

“What condition?” Blood瞳 asked indifferently.

“Help me once when I’m threatened.” Kovop said loudly. As his voice fell, the expressions of Henry and Biso next to him changed.

Originally, Black Bear had just died, and Shelter 27 was in chaos. Any small leader with a bit of power was eagerly eyeing the seat left by Black Bear. But the only ones who really had hope of sitting on it were the three in front of them. But now Kovop suddenly made this request. If Blood瞳 agreed, wouldn’t he be invincible? With a powerful hunter like Blood瞳 protecting him, who would dare to attack him in the struggle?

At the moment, the expressions of Henry and Biso became extremely ugly, turning their gazes to Blood瞳. This was a matter related to their vital interests. They wanted to know Blood瞳’s attitude.

Blood瞳 pondered for a moment, but shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Kovop, I said before that I wouldn’t participate in your struggles. And I won’t stay here. So I can’t agree to this request.”

“I know. But this request is limited to me personally. And has nothing to do with what’s about to happen in the shelter.” Kovop smiled cunningly. He said it very easily, but whether it really had nothing to do with it, only the three leaders present knew.

But since he had said it to this extent, Blood瞳 didn’t care. So he agreed to the deal.

Next, the others naturally had no reason to stay. They said goodbye and left one after another. The hall immediately quieted down. At this time, Coby, who had been waiting beside him, suddenly stepped forward and said to Blood瞳 in a low voice.

“Master, I also know that Black Bear has a basement for storing important items. Should we go over and take a look?”

“Oh?” Blood瞳 was slightly stunned. “Basement?”

“Yes. Right under our feet. It’s his most secret place. I remember several times Hyena wanted to go and take a look but didn’t get permission. Black Bear never lets anyone else enter that place.”

“Then how do you know?”

“I… I also heard it from Hyena.” Coby smiled awkwardly, but Blood瞳 could see a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

“Then let’s go take a look now.” Blood瞳 said readily. At the same time, he also had a hint of curiosity.

Black Bear, what good things could this guy have that he needed to hide, when he could openly expose the armor outside?
