Chapter 696: Chapter 317: The Last Breakfast

The fall of the Giant Sewn Monster plunged Sigef City into a frenzy.

Especially the city hall employees who witnessed Peace smash through the window and rush towards the Giant Sewn Monster, they only now realized that Mayor Peace wasn’t waiting for angels sent by a god, but that he himself possessed angelic combat power.

The relief of surviving a disaster, coupled with the mayor’s miraculous battle, sent the citizens into an inexplicable frenzy.

Previously, when he used "rain-making" to extinguish the wildfire, people saw him as a Divine Envoy. Now, they considered him a God.

Feeling the surging Wish Power around him, Wu Chang shook his head regretfully. If the Cursed Dungeon wasn’t Amber’s inner world, he would turn this place into a personal plane and directly harvest faith without any further actions.

According to normal procedures, with the death of the Giant Sewn Monster, the crisis in Sigef City should be over, and the emergency status of the entire city should be lifted, canceling the mayor’s emergency status powers.

But when he returned to the city hall, no one dared to bring up the topic of lifting the city’s forbidden status.

Who would dare, after just witnessing how the mayor transformed and defeated the monster? It would be no exaggeration to say it was like a god descending to earth.

Who dares to take away a god’s rights?

No one mentioned it, so Wu Chang was naturally happy to maintain this status.

He called in his secretary, gave an address and a list, and instructed the secretary to notify the special police to move in and take care of these terrorists.

The people on the list were players causing trouble with Li Zi and Lin Jiang, some were Bright Society’s informants, and some were Independent Players recruited by Lin Jiang and Murphy.

He saw them through the resentment in Lin Jiang. He couldn’t distinguish their identities, but he could tell that these people wanted to help Bright Society and also wanted to make the world’s Will in the Cursed Plane collapse.

Wu Chang valued family very much, and many of his favorite movie lines were about family, such as "family should be complete and together."

When dealing with small fry in the Bright Society, he used heavy punches; dealing with Li Zi, the main culprit, he certainly wouldn’t spare him.

In a corner of Sigef City, Wu Chang opened the Blind Abyss and dumped Li Zi out.

He pulled Lin Jiang out of the Giant Sewn Monster’s body, tore off the swastika seal from Lin Jiang’s head, and used it as a token to lock onto the members of the Bright Society with Survivor’s Revenge.

At first, he worried that if Li Zi sent Lin Jiang to attract attention, he would immediately hide away, and he might have to clear all the small fry of the Bright Society first to lock onto Li Zi.

Unexpectedly, the Hate Mark had just been initiated when he directly locked onto Li Zi; the guy was actually watching nearby, truly unafraid at all.

Since the other party wasn’t afraid, he decided to see if they really weren’t scared.

The result was clear. Li Zi, released from the Blind Abyss, trembled like a sieve, clearly still afraid.

But this couldn’t entirely be blamed on Li Zi; the Cursed Dungeon’s suppression on attributes had drastically lowered his already not high Will.

Coupled with the Blind Abyss’s deprivation of perception and inexplicable whispers, even without attribute suppression, an average max-level player would find it hard to resist.

Locking Li Zi up for a bit longer might see him go mad and die of delirium before drowning.

Wu Chang looked down at the trembling Li Zi and said:

"I want to make a deal with you."

Li Zi looked at Wu Chang with eager eyes and asked, "What deal? As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely cooperate."

Wu Chang crouched down and said, "I want the highest authority of the Four Major Organizations in your hand."

Asking for the highest authority wasn’t because he took Hou Jingchuan’s job and needed to do it perfectly to ensure the highest authority wasn’t taken.

He was doing it for himself. Compared to Hou Jingchuan, he was more unwilling for the Desolate Realm to be controlled by Bright Society.

If Bright Society controlled the Desolate Realm, then the real world wouldn’t be spared. He quite liked the world as it was, not wanting everything to be messed up by the lunatics of the Evolution Sect and Bright Society.

The real world was his anchor point, also the place he could feel that he was still human. In the dungeons, it was endless combat; if he returned to reality, he would still have to fight with Bright Society and the Evolution Sect continuously; life would be meaningless then.

So even if Hou Jingchuan didn’t ask, as long as he knew Lin Jiang’s intentions, he would actively intervene to stop it. However, since the Four Major Organizations were willing to step in as sponsors, naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

Li Zi’s expression changed instantly upon hearing Wu Chang’s words. He couldn’t understand how the stranger in front of him knew that the highest authority was with him.

Could it be that Lin Jiang told him? Impossible. He was sure several times that Lin Jiang was definitely dead and couldn’t have revealed his secret.

Then there was only one possibility left: the stranger before him was present when he killed Lin Jiang!

The stranger witnessed the entire process, let him act and fail, then finally appeared to capture him and seize the highest authority.

Li Zi forcibly maintained his calm and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want the highest authority for?"

Wu Chang didn’t answer, just tossed Li Zi back into the Blind Abyss.

He took out his phone, browsing the tutorials for today’s breakfast recipes. After watching a video, he tossed Li Zi back out and repeated.

"I want the highest authority of the Four Major Organizations in your hand."

This time, Li Zi was much smarter. Without asking unrelated questions, he said, "I can give you the thing, can I trade it for my life?"

Wu Chang shook his head, "No."

Li Zi: "Then no, gulp gulp..."

After another short video, Wu Chang released Li Zi from the Blind Abyss, watching as Li Zi, worn out and sitting lopsidedly on the ground, like a fountain, weakly spat out water. He said:
