Among the six superhuman bodyguards, five were physically powerful Fifth Tier Martial Artists, and one was a fire-type Fifth Tier Psychic.

Of the three gambling masters, aside from the physically strong martial artist who was a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, the other two were psychics. One was a manifestation-type Fifth Tier Psychic — the one who manifested playing cards — and he had been injured.

The other was a telekinesis-type Fifth Tier Psychic, and he used his power to manipulate the gambling tables in the hall and start smashing people.

When these nine mid-tier superhumans unleashed true fire, the situation began to spiral out of control.

Flames started ravaging the casino hall.

The manifestation gambler stopped producing playing cards and manifested something far more dangerous instead: explosive shells.

The blasts from those shells drowned out every other sound.

The telekinesis gambler also launched large-scale attacks. The floor of the casino hall began to cave in, and the ceiling started collapsing.

The remaining martial artists gradually released the terrifying power of their physical bodies, leaving huge craters appearing here and there on the hall floor.

The shockwaves from the clashes swept through the burning flames, fanning the fire into something even bigger.

A high-intensity melee had erupted.

Fortunately, the casino hall was both large and sturdy enough that it did not collapse immediately.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that if the fighting continued, the casino’s collapse would be only a matter of time.

Security personnel posted outside the casino hall, seeing this scene, reacted.

The casino manager leading them pulled out a communicator with a grim expression and began contacting his boss.

“Boss, the situation has gone out of control, they’ve started using true fire,” he reported respectfully.

There was a moment of silence from the communicator.

Then, a voice filled with suppressed anger came through:

“I’ve notified the Ordinance Council. Bring your men in and eliminate anyone using true fire.”

“Yes!”

After the manager put away the communicator, he turned to face all the security personnel and raised his right hand high, then slammed it down.

“Kill everyone fighting in the hall!”

A third-party force had entered the fray!

The Labey Street Casino’s security personnel streamed into the hall in formation.

They were also superhumans, and once they entered, they began merciless attacks.

The bigwigs in the Ordinance Council had spoken, so let there be chaos!

The situation descended into complete pandemonium.

Slowly, mid-tier superhumans began to die.

The three nobles surrounded nearby were stunned — why would they use true fire now…?

They immediately tried to stop their subordinates, but the explosions from the shells “unfortunately” drowned out their orders.

Soon after, they were “unfortunately” dragged into the fighting range.

The manifestation gambling master clearly wanted to kill those three nobles as a means of venting his anger.

Then, the flames, blown by the combat shockwaves, “unfortunately” spread to where the three nobles were standing.

Seeing his companion attack the nobles, the telekinesis gambling master hesitated no longer. His invisible psychic force also targeted the three nobles.

Davis by the gambling table was stunned too.

How did the situation suddenly get out of control like this…

Davis scanned the room silently. He only wanted to enjoy the show, and he hadn’t expected it to be this exciting.

The three gambling masters were unleashing their full power without restraint.

The six superhuman bodyguards were retaliating like madmen.

Casino security who charged in immediately started attacking.

Three foolhardy nobles were trying to hold up an energy defense dome while notifying their families.

Loren was glowing all over.

Wait! This guy, is he trying to breakthrough in the middle of this?! Typical Nature Sect lunatic!

Are God’s Favored Ones always like this? Ridiculous…

Davis stood up from his chair quietly;
he wanted to leave.

Anyway, the mining shares had already been won;
he could exit the scene.

His crude plan no longer mattered — the place was too strange.

He had only taken a couple of steps when a massive flame wave swept across and “accidentally” engulfed him.

He waved the flames aside, shook his head, and still prepared to leave.

After a few more steps, a wide-area telekinetic attack again “accidentally” affected him.

He endured the psychic blow quietly, his face darkening as he continued toward the exit.

A few steps later, an explosive shell that was about to detonate was knocked away and rolled to his feet.

Boom!!

After the blast, his hair was singed and his face blackened, but he silently pressed on out of the casino.

Then, due to the chaos and an overly stressed noble’s bodyguard going berserk, someone “accidentally” spotted the now disfigured Davis.

That enraged superhuman bodyguard did not recognize the Energy Department section chief and launched a violent attack at Davis!

Bang!

The sound of a superhuman bodyguard’s flesh being torn apart!

Davis, being a Sixth-Tier Superhuman, angrily ended the attacker’s life.

“That’s it then?!! Attacking an Energy Department section chief openly!! You’re provoking the authority of the Energy Department!!!”

He had been keeping his temper, but enough was enough!

Being hit repeatedly by stray attacks had made him furious!

He silently pulled out his communicator.

“Help! I’m under attack!! The three major families’ bodyguards and other personnel are openly attacking me!”

“Section Chief Davis, please wait for backup! The Special Situation Handling Team has already been dispatched.”

After replying “As soon as possible,” Davis put away the communicator and charged toward the superhuman bodyguards.

He wasn’t leaving anymore!

You dare attack me during the chaos? Three major families, forget about your thirty percent mining share!!

You’re in deep trouble now!!

The truth of the matter no longer mattered — Davis sensed an opportunity.

He could use this incident as a legitimate pretext to seize the three families’ mining shares.

Attacking a section chief who oversees extraction permissions would be a significant achievement for him.

So he joined the riotous fight!

Make a scene! Who’s afraid?!

Our Energy Department never backed down, even against the Nature Sect!!

Soon, the indiscriminate melee in the hall caused the ceiling to collapse.

The second-floor shopping area fell in.

Dust and smoke billowed.

Superhumans embroiled in the melee knocked down falling ceiling slabs while dodging various attacks and indiscriminately striking others.

Then superhumans inside the shops were forced to join the brawl.

A fourth party had entered the fight.

Seeing that things were about right, Loren leisurely rose from his chair and shouted loudly into the smoke and dust:

“Who?! Can’t you see I’m breaking through?! Who wants to die?!”

Then Loren openly and proudly joined the melee.

Posing as an “innocent” caught in the crossfire.

True chaos had arrived…
