Chapter 105: The supply crate belongs to me!

In the passageway, four people were approaching.

Seeing those four, Jonathan frowned and muttered, “Rover…”

That’s right, it was Rover, Nanoe, Selina, and Leng Yan.

But Rover was currently wearing a completely baffled expression as he glanced at Leng Yan, then looked off into the distance.

“What did you just do?”

Leng Yan smiled. “Just chased off a few flies.”

Rover: “…”

But the moment he stepped out of the corridor, he saw a lot of people. Still, he wasn’t nearly as surprised as he was by the chaotic scene in front of him.

At the center of the Garden was a huge circle drawn on the ground with a massive X inside it.

Around it stood many people, all staring at a blond man and Nick.

Seeing Nick in that miserable state, half-sprawled on the ground, Rover could already guess what had just happened.

But when he saw the two naked girls the blond man was dragging along, and especially when he noticed that one of them was already dead, his eyes turned icy.

The blond man didn’t hide the greedy, lust-filled look in his eyes as he stared at Nanoe and Selina. But when he looked at Leng Yan, he immediately flinched and withdrew his gaze.

Rover frowned and asked, “Who is he?”

Leng Yan smiled. “He’s Damon. Just a piece of trash. He likes torturing women for fun. He has the superpower [Smoke], and he’s hard to deal with.”

“Smoke?” Hearing that superpower, Rover suddenly thought of a character from the manga O.P. Even though it was hard to believe, he still trusted Leng Yan’s words and raised his guard against that blond man.

Damon glanced at Rover’s group, snorted, then dragged the remaining woman away, leaving the dead girl’s body on the ground.

Nanoe and Selina frowned.

They weren’t good people either, but they were still women. Seeing another woman tortured and humiliated like that made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

But deep down, they also felt lucky.

After all, [Tenants] couldn’t betray [Owners]. If they fell into the hands of perverts like Damon, their fate would probably end up like those two women, becoming cheap toys, then dying in disgrace.

At this moment, the way they looked at Rover filled with even more love and loyalty, along with the luck of having Rover as their [Owner].

Nanoe said softly, “Rover, I want to help her a little.”

As she spoke, she pointed at the corpse of the girl who had just died. Rover nodded, because he understood Nanoe’s mood right now.

Nanoe smiled, walked over to the unlucky girl’s body, knelt on one knee, and gently tapped the girl’s wounded body with her finger.

In the next instant, the body glowed red like a burning coal, then slowly crumbled into ash, scattering through the air.

Nanoe let out a sigh. Even though she could kill others without feeling any guilt, that was only when facing people who dared threaten her and Rover.

But toward innocent girls, she still carried pity and compassion.

Seeing this, Damon frowned, a trace of wariness in his eyes as he muttered, “That’s… a superpower. Fire? Or some other kind?”

The people around them also sucked in a breath, fear rising in their hearts.

With just one finger on that corpse, she had reduced it to ash in less than three seconds. If she touched them, then…

The crowd began to grow wary of the four who had just arrived.

They didn’t know what their relationship was, but seeing Nanoe’s terrifying power, they had already put Rover’s group on the list of people they absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke.

The skinny man with long black hair glanced at Rover’s group. A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes, but there was also a bit more excitement.

He licked his lips and muttered, “So strong… must be delicious…”

Jonathan was also startled by Nanoe’s power. He thought to himself, ’Terrifying. Looks like… she’s not as weak as I thought.’

Because during the mission, no one could use superpowers, he had assumed Nanoe’s ability couldn’t be that strong.

After all, she was only a [Tenant]. How could Rover possibly give her the best things?

But seeing her power now, he knew he was wrong.

’Tch!’ He clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. ’Looks like I need to find better things if I want to snatch her away.’

Everyone’s attention was on Rover’s group. Naturally, quite a few people recognized Leng Yan, and they couldn’t help feeling confused seeing her walking with Rover.

Seeing Rover and the people with him, Nick lowered his head in embarrassment and hurriedly stood up.

“Oy!” Selina spoke up. “Not gonna say thanks?”

Nick ground his teeth, glanced at Leng Yan, and said in a low voice, “Thanks!”

Leng Yan smiled. “No need. When you stepped up to protect those two girls, this is what you deserved.”

Nick glanced at Rover. Rover looked at him with eyes full of admiration. In this world without laws, Nick daring to stand up for two girls he didn’t even know was something that deserved respect.

That was what a man should do.

Rover raised a thumb and smiled. “Good job.”

Nick let out a sigh, walked over to Jonathan, and sat down, checking his arms and legs. When he realized there was nothing serious, he finally breathed out in relief.

Rover then swept his gaze over the people around them. The skill [Intuition] surged powerfully, helping him distinguish who truly harbored malicious intent toward him.

One was Damon. The other was a skinny man with long, loose black hair, skin as pale as an anemic patient, lips purple and bruised-looking.

If he weren’t still standing, Rover would’ve thought he was a corpse.

Leng Yan said softly, “That’s Amed. He’s a scheming, slippery bastard. His superpower is still an unknown.”

“Is he very strong?” Rover asked.

Leng Yan smiled. “What, you want to deal with him?”

As she spoke, her finger traced across his face as if caressing him.

Those who knew Leng Yan were startled by the sight, including Amed, Nick, and Damon.

Their eyes looked as if they had just witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world.

Rover felt a bit stirred, but he didn’t want to show overly intimate actions with Leng Yan, so he shifted away, dodging her finger.

Seeing Rover avoid her, Leng Yan didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled happily. “Shy? Then… wait until it’s just the two of us, alright?”

Rover glanced at Leng Yan and said nothing more.

KRIT!!!

At that moment, a piercing screech rang out, like someone dragging a metal shard across a sheet of glass.

People covered their ears, trying to block out the noise, but Rover’s group and a few others didn’t seem affected by it.

They looked up. In the thick layers of fog, something like a cargo plane was flying in. Then a massive package was dropped.

The package descended, drawing closer and closer. In just a few seconds, it landed precisely on the marked spot, hitting with a heavy thud.

It was a container, covered in many bizarre symbols, like some kind of magical seal.

Everyone fell silent. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, yet strangely heavy.

Many people started sweating, not knowing whether they should leave or stay.

If they chose to leave, they might miss a Fortuitous Encounter here. But if they stayed, they didn’t have the strength to compete for it.

At this moment, Damon laughed, breaking the silence. “Don’t be so quiet. We don’t even need to fight over it. Let the strongest person here open the ’supply crate,’ then have them split it evenly among everyone.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Damon, then to Rover’s group. No, more precisely, they turned to Leng Yan.

Rover naturally knew that bastard Damon was trying to dump this hot coal on Leng Yan and him.

Leng Yan wasn’t angry, but her next action made everyone jump.

She wrapped her arms around Rover’s arm, gently rubbing her cheek against it, her expression dreamy. In a tender voice, she said, “I don’t care. I’ll just listen to my man.”

The crowd sucked in a breath.

Rover also took a deep breath. He felt like Leng Yan had turned him into a shield standing before a monstrous storm.

But now, whatever he said would be meaningless. He could only shoot Leng Yan an annoyed look.

Amed smiled. “Leng Yan, you really surprised everyone. Never thought the day would come when you’d fall in love with a man.”

His voice was deep, carrying a kind of sickly fatigue, but it still made Rover uncomfortable.

As if… he were being stared down by a venomous snake.

Leng Yan smiled. “I’m still just a woman. Of course I need to rely on a strong man to survive in this cruel world.”

Everyone: “…”

They really wanted to ask… if you’re a weak woman, then what are we? Parasites?

Damon laughed. “So… Leng Yan’s strong man, how do you plan to deal with the ’supply crate’?”

Amed spoke up. “No need to rush. After all, this is the first time we’ve gathered like this. Maybe we can talk in a friendly way, unite, and keep surviving in this world.”

Rover glanced at Damon and Amed. His skill [Intuition] stirred, trying to judge just how dangerous those two were.

However, a voice suddenly sounded in Rover’s mind, and then a confident smile spread across his face.

He pulled his arm free from Leng Yan’s embrace and walked to the ’supply crate,’ under the gazes of everyone present who looked like they wanted to tear him into a hundred pieces.

Rover swept his eyes over the crowd, then his gaze paused on Amed and Damon. He smiled and said, “No matter what’s inside, there’s no way it can be shared fairly with everyone. So I’ve decided…”

Everyone fell quiet, waiting for Rover’s next words.

He smiled like a madman, his expression completely different from before, his voice turning terrifyingly cold.

“I’ve decided… the supply crate belongs to me!”
