Chapter 397: If we don't say anything, no one will know it was me
In training camp area C, the moment Mike appeared, Shadow Three returned as well.
"Fourth Bro, what's up?"
"Shadow Three, what's up."
After greeting each other, Mike thought for a moment and asked, "Shadow One said today that she could kill a demon god, is that true?"
Shadow Three nodded, "Yes."
Mike pressed on, "What about the Archdemon?"
Shadow Three was silent for a moment before giving his answer, "They would probably perish together."
Huh?
Was Stunning Woman that fierce?
Mike muttered, "Could this woman be the Tower Spirit?"
Shadow Three said helplessly, "We have an agreement not to reveal each other's identities to the outside world."
"We," naturally referred to the top three shadows in the Guardian Shadow rankings.
"Very good, you are an honest man who keeps his promises."
Mike nodded slowly, "But what's our relationship? You call me Fourth Bro. We're practically brothers from another mother!"
Mike said confidently, "Does telling me count as revealing it to the outside world?"
Shadow Three was stunned for a moment, Fourth Bro had a point.
Following this logic, he could completely tell Mike the identities of the other shadows.
In other words, there was a risk of Shadow Three's true identity being exposed.
He had to find a way to plug this loophole...
"Shadow Three."
Seeing Shadow Three lost in thought, Mike asked curiously,
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Shadow Three replied truthfully,
"I'm thinking... whether to silence Shadow One, Bad Man, and Bad Woman."
"You can't be so cruel!"
Shadow Three was always a man of few words but ruthless actions.
Since he had this thought, it meant he had the ability to do it.
Mike quickly changed the subject, "Shadow Three, I thought of an online name for you to use within the Guardian Shadow."
Shadow Three also played along, "What do you need me to do?"
During his time with Thor, Shadow Three had never seen anyone get something from Thor for free.
Perhaps only beings like Shadow Nine and Apollo could do that.
They were too far out of Shadow Three's reach, he didn't dare to think about it.
As for how strong a Supreme Being truly was,
Only those whose strength was close to a Supreme Being could truly understand the depth of their awe.
People on Earth looked at the sun and only felt its warmth.
Shadow Three wanted a name, even if it was just an online name.
As a price, he had to do something for Thor.
Mike pondered,
"Do you have any other missions for this trip to the Ninth Abyss?"
"Yes."
Shadow Three nodded, "In the past, I was responsible for gathering intelligence in the Abyss, making sure everything was foolproof before taking action. This time is different, I need to monitor a few restless guys."
Mike nodded slightly.
This operation was indeed rushed.
As one of the top fighters of the human race, Shadow Three played a crucial role in the deterrence game against the demon gods and couldn't act rashly.
"If, and I mean if..."
Mike organized his words,
"If I'm not in mortal danger, and I want to kill someone below level 1000, can you help?"
"Ace, Foreskin, Professor Gregory, Shadow Thirteen..."
Shadow Three rattled off a string of names and said sincerely,
"If you want to kill these people, I can't help."
Mike: "..."
I wouldn't ask you to kill these people either!
Obviously, in Shadow Three's eyes, the people on this list were all protected by big shots.
If he took action against them, even Thor wouldn't be able to protect Shadow Three!
Mike keenly noticed a detail,
"Why didn't you mention Maxen and Cedric?"
Shadow Three was very frank, "Maxen, I can't kill him. Cedric is always by Ares' side, and..."
In the end, Shadow Three shook his head, he wasn't sure if he could kill Cedric.
Cedric was a proud man, like a young master.
The most important thing was that he had a sword, a sword that had been charging for over a hundred years but had never been used.
Shadow Three felt that Cedric's sword would definitely be aimed at a Supreme Being, he
would never deign to waste it on him.
"I see."
Mike nodded, it made sense.
The two quickly reached a deal.
Shadow Three would help Mike once, and Mike would give Shadow Three an online name.
...
The clock on the wall ticked by, and soon it was 6:10 AM.
The Wolf's Den finally closed!
Mike let out a long sigh of relief!
Soon, looking at the bill Bilbo brought him, Mike felt a pang of heartache!
The cost of the half-night revelry at the Wolf's Den was astonishing!
The total cost of tonight's treat was as follows:
17.85 tons of fish, 43.9 tons of wine, 5.1 tons of mushrooms...
They could really eat...
Seeing the end of the list, Mike felt even more helpless,
"How come we're even missing 669 ovens?"
How shameless, they even took the ovens after eating grilled fish!
"How can these people be so uncivilized! Eating and taking everything!"
Just then, a familiar knock on the door sounded.
"Mike, Mike!"
Mike opened the door, and in front of him was Kaelum, whose stomach was still hiccupping.
Kaelum was extremely excited, his breath reeking of grilled fish,
"Mike, last night the Wolf's Den offered free food, it was Thor's treat, I ate so much delicious
food, and I didn't even have to pay, it was awesome!"
Kaelum looked at the somewhat silent Mike today and immediately noticed something was
wrong, "Hey, you look down, did you miss Thor's treat?"
"Sort of..."
Mike nodded, telling the truth, "I went to have fun last night, just had some hot dogs and
burger."
"That's great!"
A mysterious smile appeared on Kaelum's face, and he pulled Mike out.
Mike was a little curious, "Where are we going?"
"To the hospital, to see Cain."
Mike had visited Cain a few times in the past two days, he was lying in the nutrition tank,
motionless.
With Ace's help, Cain's talent was upgraded to [Astral Projection].
The longer Cain's first Astral Projection lasted, the greater his future potential. However, if the soul left the body for too long, even if modern technology could ensure the
body's integrity, Cain would face many problems in re-adapting to his body.
Coming back now was about the best time.
However, Cain currently showed no signs of waking up.
On the way to the hospital, Kaelum kept him in suspense,
"Anderson came up with a way, said it should be able to wake Cain up."
"Oh?"
Mike became even more curious.
Following Kaelum, Mike arrived at Cain's ward.
Pushing open the door, a strong aroma of grilled fish wafted towards them.
"It smells so good!"
Mike smelled the aroma and felt a sense of familiarity.
"Mike, you're here too?"
In the ward, besides Cain and Anderson, there was also Joseph.
Two round barbecue ovens were placed by Cain's bedside.
Joseph introduced, "These ovens are very precious, made from B-grade ore from the
Mysterious Mine!"
Mike: ???
Mike had always felt strange, the more he looked at these ovens, the more familiar they
seemed.
It turned out they were his ovens!
Kaelum was still a little hesitant, "Nephew, is it okay for you to take Thor's ovens?"
He had seen people pack up leftovers after eating at a restaurant, but he had never seen
anyone pack up the ovens too!
That was too much!
"It's fine, if we don't say anything, no one will know it was me!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Joseph patted his chest, assuring them.
With his speed as a ninth-tier Lord of the wind element, taking two ovens wouldn't even be
detected by surveillance!
You sly dog, Joseph!
Mike calmed himself down and didn't lose his temper on the spot.
He swore that Joseph would definitely pay for this oven!
And then...
Joseph took out a giant king crab, ten lobsters...
A pile of seafood appeared in front of everyone.
Kaelum and his companions were stunned. "Nephew, where did you get so many good things?"
Why were the things here so similar to the menu at the Wolf's Den last night?
"Do you know where I worked last night?"
Joseph stopped halfway through his sentence.
The embarrassing past of a ninth-tier Lord helping to slice raw fish, the fewer people who
knew about it, the better.
"Just eat, why so many questions!"
Joseph started grilling crabs and lobsters, comforting himself,
"I worked hard all night, packing up some leftover scraps, that's reasonable, right?"
A whole king crab, lobsters, top-grade tuna...
You call these scraps?
Mike nodded.
Reasonable, very reasonable.
I hope it's just as reasonable when I 'shear your wool'.
Joseph said confidently, "Besides, if we don't eat these things, wouldn't it be a waste?!"
Even so, it still didn't dispel the concerns of Mike and the others.
Mike asked tentatively,
"Joseph, won't taking Thor's things like this make him angry?"
"Of course... it will!"
Joseph laughed heartily,
"So, let's all keep our mouths shut, don't tell anyone, and Thor won't know!"
"Thor is so busy every day, he won't remember these little things!" Everyone nodded, indicating that they would definitely not tell anyone.
Kaelum was suddenly curious about another thing, "Nephew, what if Thor comes to actually settle the score with you?"
"That's easy!"
Joseph broke off a large claw, took out the crab meat inside, and handed it to Mike.
He was very optimistic about this junior,
Sunny, upright, principled,
A good boy.
Joseph winked and whispered, "Anyway, Maxen took even more."
