Wow! Youre good at getting the answer right! You have a bright future!

Luke chuckled.

Sticking the Colt 1911 into a side pocket on his combat pants, Luke walked unhurriedly out of the garden toward the so-called meeting hall.

Jiaying was standing at the door and smiling as she watched him walk over.

She was about to say something, when Luke waved his hand. Tell that old man to stop releasing his poison. Also, if that woman doesnt stop her mental interference, Ill deal with you first.

Jiayings expression froze. These were the final two hidden hands for turning the situation around.

The old mans poison could paralyze people before they knew it, and the womans mental interference had the effect of giving a mental suggestion.

Seeing Luke slowly raise the umbrella, Jiayings head throbbed slightly. She nodded with a dry smile. Alright, our spar with Mr. Big Dipper is over. Everybody, go get some rest.

When the old man and the woman who had been secretly watching from a distance heard that, they decisively followed the order and left.

This Death Knell was too terrifying. They really didnt see a chance of winning.

If Jiaying hadnt said not to stop until she gave the order, the two of them wouldve run off long ago.

After that, Jiaying gestured for Luke to come in.

Luke didnt move. Those four snipers arent from Afterlife, are they?

Jiaying nodded in surprise.

Afterlife didnt have any experts with guns. These four professional a.s.sa.s.sins were tools that she had found at the last minute and who had been brainwashed by the middle-aged woman.

After getting the answer he wanted, Luke took out his 1911 from his side pocket and fired four times.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

100 meters away, four snipers were shot in the head and fell to the ground.

Luke put 1911 back in. Now we can have a good chat.

Jiaying:

The Inhumans around them:

They couldnt help but recall Big Dippers fight. Sure enough, it was very easy for this person to kill.

Luke was quite satisfied.

How could he call himself Big Dipper if he didnt kill a few people?

However, the people from Afterlife were at most a light red evil; there was no one who was bright red.

It could only be said that this organization had always been low-key, and rarely made a move.

Even when they wanted to catch Emma and her sons, they just wanted to brainwash them into fighting for them.

Jiaying had only tried to sway Skye with her words.

This level of evil was worth a broken hand at most.

But Afterlife was Lukes warehouse of superpowers, and he didnt want to ruin their relations.h.i.+p.

The four hitmen who had been found outside were all villains so dark red they were almost black. Each of them was worth more than 500 points, and were most suitable as tools for Lukes demonstration, to prevent Afterlife from thinking that he was a pushover.

Only Gordon was present during the official negotiation between Luke and Jiaying, and n.o.body else knew what happened.

In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, both parties reached a compromise.

Jiaying and Gordon, however, had complicated feelings.

They wanted to be angry, but didnt have the confidence. The agreement they had reached was still far from their bottom line.

Looking at it on the bright side, this was an alliance. After all, the other partys blade hm, umbrella, was already pointed at Afterlifes face.

However, Lukes conditions couldnt be said not to carry some risks, and Gordon and Jiaying really couldnt feel happy.

After that, the two of them could only watch with complicated feelings from a distance as a certain evil visitor settled down in Afterlife and drew the women to him.

Females from 8 to 80 years old couldnt escape the fate of being chatted up.

A few days later, Gordon, who used his teleportation ability to pay attention to Lukes behavior from time to time, asked suspiciously, Jiaying, what is he doing?

In the distance, Luke, the old Asian man who could use poison, and the old mans granddaughter were playing Fight the Landlord.

After a brief silence, Jiaying shook her head. Ignore him for now. Hows it going on your end?

Gordon took out several sheets of paper from his inner pocket. This is a list of the goods which the bigshot who sells everything has. On the top is what we can buy. The last sheet is a catalog of what we can buy at the next level.

In fact, the bigshot had given him a phone.

Gordon hadnt brought it back to Afterlife.

Big Dipper being here didnt necessarily mean that the bigshot knew about it.

It was unlikely, but to avoid exposing Afterlife as much as possible, going to a little more trouble was inevitable.

Thus, Gordon found a printer outside and printed out the list of goods before bringing it back.

Jiaying took the papers and quickly skimmed the content.

The goods included food, daily necessities, various raw materials, machinery and electronic components.

Only supplies related to certain cutting-edge projects werent included, and there were no nuclear materials, nanomaterials, or mid-grade explosives.

Of course, these werent what Jiaying needed.

It would be a very long time before Afterlife could be considered a nation; it wasnt even qualified to be called a prefecture or county.

Jiayings idea was to establish another hometown for Inhumans, but she didnt have sufficient materials to awaken more Inhumans.

Currently, there were 100 or so awakened Inhumans in Afterlife; she could at most build a nation the size of a big booger; one tactical missile was all it would take to kill most of them.

Weaklings like that werent qualified to talk to the strong at all.

Big Dipper alone was enough to keep Afterlife under control, partly because of his super combat ability, and partly because of how intimidating the Bat Squad was.

But powerful as it was, the Bat Squad didnt step out openly, and their whereabouts had always been a mystery.

The Avengers? That was an organization controlled by Tony Stark, an American defense supplier. It would be strange if they didnt dare show their faces.

After reading the list, she stared at Luke for a moment before she finally turned around and left.

Big Dipper was a big problem, but he also gave Afterlife a lot of hope.

Gordon had also been keeping an eye out for the bigshot who sold everything for a long time.

Making this connection was also part of Jiayings plan.

When Gordon met the bigshot, he had tested the bigshots relations.h.i.+p with the Bat Squad.

At that time, the bigshot had only said with a smile, A partners rank is determined by the level of trust between both parties, which requires both sides to do their best.

Jiaying naturally understood what he meant: They werent close, and could only talk business at this stage.

The bigshot was also implying that they shouldnt compete with the Bat Squad.

After reading the catalog available for higher-level clients, Jiaying further confirmed how powerful the Bat Squad was.

There was a lot of equipment in the catalog that could allow ordinary people to unleash combat ability similar to that of superhumans. There was also a first aid item that each client could only buy once a week.

As long as someone had enough credit points to buy these items and then equip and train ordinary people, the chances of them being able to wipe out Afterlife was very high

The most important thing was that there wasnt a strict limit on how much equipment could be bought it ranged anywhere between 10 and 100.

Could training tens to 100 regular people, and turning them into outstanding combat veterans, be considered hard?

The 100 or so Inhumans who had awakened in Afterlife were the results of more than ten years of hard work by Jiaying.

It was even more troublesome to get these superhumans, who were unstable, lacked training and had all sorts of shortcomings, to listen to orders.
