Chapter 375: The Profitable Third Party


    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh


    In the tribe, the heated Nightspring Festival was still progressing. Three-meter-tall sturdy males and three-meter-tall dreamy females were doing it in the public square of their tribe. In a certain bush at the entrance of their tribe, several pitch-ck figures popped out. After a nce at the tribe, they noiselessly hid back in the bush. These figures were precisely the neutral party that had been nning to profit from the fight of Gic Union and Mysterious Organization earlier. They had actually survived the pursuit of the barbarians as well.


    One of them whispered, "Boss, the Mysterious Organization members are nowhere to be seen."


    "The Gic Union members don’t seem to be here either," another person replied.


    "Only barbarians..." another person muttered.


    He had only observed this tribe for 10 short seconds. However, what he had seen in these 10 short seconds had almost blinded his eyes. After being a scout for so many years, this was the first time he had felt that scouting was such an ufortable task. Even if he ignored the male barbarians, the sight of the female barbarians—such as their powerful arms, their millstone-looking faces, or their moans that were sonorous and imposing and sounded like a tiger’s roar...D*mn!


    The leader red at them. "Stay calm."


    The rest might not be aware, but it couldn’t escape him. Those people were definitely somewhere here as well.


    "Be more careful. Take a detour around these barbarians and sneak over there. Within this huge vige, that is the only area free of any barbarians. The members of the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union are definitely in there," the leader ordered in a whisper.


    The rest nodded.


    "Understood."


    They were all still rather confident in this leader of theirs. The basis of their confidence in him was that extremely unique ability he possessed, that stunningly outstanding talent he had, and that unique bloodline ability he possessed.


    ----


    Talent name: The Profitable Third Party


    Function: When two different energies sh with each other in the user’s vicinity, the user will always be able to detect this sh. Through this, the user will be able to determine the overallbat power of the two shing parties.


    Revision: Capable of altering thebat power of both camps (roughly 10% change)


    Range: 100 kilometers


    Consumption: one point of spiritual energy


    ----


    Indeed, this was an ability with zerobat power. However, it was precisely this ability with zerobat power that was a heaven-defying ability and allowed him to enable anyone to reap the rewards from the battle of two different parties by hiding in the dark. Within a distance of 100 kilometers, none were able to avoid his detection. That was the scariest aspect of his ability.


    At nearly the same instant the Gic Union members and Mysterious Organization members shed, he obtained their information and was able to easily follow the trail all the way until here. What was even scarier was that add-on of his ability, Revision. Even if the disparity between the shing parties was huge, it wouldn’t matter to him. With this function, he would be able to increase the power of the weaker side by 10% and reduce the power of the stronger side by 10%.


    An altercation at this level was sufficient to change the result of a battle. At the very least, it would ensure that his enemies would suffer more damage from their sh. After all, there were times where the battle would end as long as the opponent was dealt sufficient damage.


    Revision was truly an extremely terrifying and heaven-defying ability. This was also an ability no one had seen before. Because of this, presently, the amount of different gic abilities required to fuse toe up with this final ability was unknown. It might require five or six. However, what was certain was the fact that this was an ability with a single use.


    It was also due to this that the rest of them had deduced that those possessing this ability would definitely possess a weakbat power. Since the user of this ability would use up all his slots to fuse with gic abilities whose fusion would be required to ultimately create this single ability, even if the user of this ability was A ss, he would not possess muchbat power. Surprisingly, though, this leader of theirs was instead the one with the highestbat power in their group.


    Was it due to him obtaining a huge amount of resources using this ability, resources he had subsequently used to train himself? Or perhaps... he was innately talented when it came tobat? It remained a mystery. The only thing they knew was that this leader of theirs possessed an extremely terrifyingbat power and had an astonishing ability on top of that.


    Since the assembly of this squad of theirs, they had been profiting off the fight of others for quite some time, never failing. This time, if it hadn’t been for the appearance of the barbarians, they would have seeded long ago. In their eyes, this leader was simply a legendary figure.


    Hum—


    Hum—


    The leader was emitting a faint glow from his eyes. His gaze swept past the depths of the tribe and was able to clearly see two different parties that belonged to the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union respectively. As for the difference in theirbat power, it was nearly zero.


    "Evenly matched, huh?"


    He was overjoyed. This was the favorite setting of his. With this, both sides would normally suffer equal damage before he appeared with his squad and defeated everyone present, taking away all avable resources.


    Mhm... even the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union would not be an exception to this. They were hidden far away and were observing the sh of the two parties. However, he noticed an odd thing. The number representing the Gic Union’sbat power was reducing without stop. As for the Mysterious Organization, it never changed. To be precise, it was slowly increasing. Initially, he had been waiting for the Nightspring Festival to end so that the barbarians could participate in the chaotic battle as well. Unexpectedly, these barbarians had such powerful vitality and were able tost so long when doing that deed.


    He narrowed his eyes. "Something seems off." Both parties were obviously shing. Why was thebat power of one particr side increasing without stop? This did not seem right. As such, he did not dare to interrupt their battle yet.


    Shua!


    Shua!


    His ability, The Profitable Third Party, was activated once again.


    Shua!


    The data was refreshed. At this, an astonishing scene appeared. In a split second, the data representing the Gic Union had vanished, as if all of them were dead. As for the Mysterious Organization, the data representing them had increased sharply.


    ???


    He had an ominous feeling. For something like this to have happened... was this a trap set for him by the Gic Union and Mysterious Organization?


    Without hesitating, he ordered their retreat. "Retreat!"


    "Boss?" Everyone else was confused. Retreat? But they were already on the verge of sess. They only needed to wait for the battle to end...


    Without the slightest hesitation, he ordered, "Retreat! Now!"


    Shua!


    He took the initiative and started retreating.


    The rest exchanged nces and clenched their teeth. Ultimately, they decided to trust him and retreated together with him. Before leaving, he nced onest time at that ce.


    Shua!


    Once again, the data was refreshed. The data representing the Mysterious Organization’sbat power increased greatly one more time. As for the data representing the Gic Union, it disappearedpletely. At this point, even if his Revision was able to change theirbat power by 100%, it would still be useless. Instantly, his very soul shivered. Something was indeed wrong here.


    Retreat! Retreat! They retreated rapidly, not leaving any traces behind. He had been relying on his wit and his tricks to stay alive all this while. Only a person alive would be able to increase one’s strength. Only by hiding in the dark would he be able to scheme against others.


    "Boss, are we retreating just like this?"


    "The Gic Union was suddenly destroyed. The reason is unknown." The captain shook his head and continued, "With the disappearance of an opposing party, I am no longer able to detect their exact position. However, at the very least, theirbat power was exposed to me during their sh earlier. A power at that level... hehe. Use an anonymous identity to issue a mission with 10 million as the reward. Set this ce as the venue."


    His underlings nodded. "Yes."


    He stared ahead into the distance. "Regardless of who it was that was victorious, I will allow you to stay happy for now." Since they were not evenly matched, he would create a situation where his enemies were all evenly matched against each other. This mission with a 10 million reward would be sufficient to lure a bunch of people over here. Even if they were all simrly C-ss warriors with the ability to challenge those of a higher ss, there were still a lot of people out there that were confident in their own strength. When those people arrived...


    Hehe.


    As long as they started shing, the effect of his ability would be maximized. At that time, he would remain hidden in the dark and use his Revision ability. That would be sufficient for him to control the result of their battles. Controlling the tides of war was in fact the feat he was most apt at.
