NOVEL NEXT Chapter 374 Mutual Destruction_2
The Round Table Knights on the sea surface let out terrified screams, but the screams were cut short because the knight who screamed had already been roasted to ashes by the intense heat.
The Solar Wind swallowed almost all the Round Table Knights on the sea surface, wiping them out in an instant.
Apart from those on the sea, there were a few flying in the sky.
These few Round Table Knights realized the situation was wrong and tried to turn around and flee.
At that moment.
The Qingluan Divine Bird let out a cry to the sky, a sound that shook the heavens.
The Round Table Knights who were trying to escape in the sky were instantly overwhelmed by the sound, their willpower shattered, and they fell from the sky, into the Solar Wind, turning into ashes in a blink of an eye.
Finally, two Round Table Knights reacted quickly and dove into the seawater the instant the Qingluan Divine Bird appeared.
The Solar Wind blew past, boiling the seawater on the surface, but it couldn't boil the entire sea, so the two Round Table Knights who dove into the sea successfully escaped the Solar Wind's power.
Typically, as long as they dive into the sea, there's no skill that can harm them, essentially equating to escaping from danger.
However.
Suddenly, two gunshots rang out from the cruise ship's deck.
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets flew from the gun barrel, entered the void, traversed 200 meters, appeared at a depth of a dozen meters underwater, and instantly pierced the chests of these two people.
The power of the [Plasma Burst Bomb] exploded, shattering their bodies into pieces.
"All targets eliminated."
After the last two Round Table Knights were shot and killed, Su Muyu's voice came through the communication channel.
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the cabin.
All the members of the Planter family present showed expressions of horror, slumping in their chairs.
Warick Edward's knees went weak, and he slid to the ground against the wall.
Lu Heng swept a cold gaze over these core members of the Planter family and asked, "Is there any other support? I don't mind clearing out all your thugs at once."
Lady Margaret asked with a trembling voice, "What do you want? You can have anything, as long as it's available on Blue Star."
She had lost all her pride and dignity, because at this moment she finally understood the rules of the game in this era.
If it were before the Abyss Descent, their Planter family's power could not possibly encounter such danger.
This luxurious cruise ship was her private property, and even this port was hers.
The cruise ship had powerful bodyguards, each of them armed to the teeth.
Before the Abyss Era, they would need armed forces to threaten them.
However, any armed force requires money.
War and money can never be separated, and in a world controlled by capital, having wealth means having the power to dictate the rules of the world.
So, with the power of the Planter family, danger was impossible.
However, the Abyss Era is totally different.
Powerful superpower users mastered forces beyond technology weapons.
What armed forces couldn't do, powerful superpower users could.
Just like now, this Great Xia superpower user, with just a small team, wiped out their superpower soldiers cultivated with countless wealth.
One of the top ten Superpower Mercenary Groups, the Round Table Knights, was wiped out in an instant, leaving none.
Although the superpower users coming to safeguard them weren't the entire power of the Round Table Knights, they were already a part of the elite.
Now, the elite knights protecting them have been completely wiped out, leaving them with no capacity for self-defense.
This means, if this Great Xia superpower user in front of them wants to kill them, they have no chance to struggle.
Understanding this, the members of the Planter family showed hopelessness on their faces.
The era has changed, and the rules of the game they previously mastered no longer work.
"What do you want? You can have it." Another elderly member of the Planter family also made a promise.
Lu Heng smiled slightly, counting the number of people present.
There were seven core members of the Planter family attending this secret meeting, including the one that Lady Margaret called "Old Henry," who was already dead.
So, now there were six people left.
Lu Heng took out a revolver, opened the cylinder, took out one bullet, leaving five, and then spun the revolving chamber back with a "click."
"Five bullets, six people, you decide for yourselves."
Lu Heng said as he placed the revolver in the middle of the round table, adding, "Whoever grabs it first gets it, only one of the six can survive."
All six people present suddenly showed complex expressions and began to look at each other.
They did not question Lu Heng's words.
Nor would they consider why one person should be left alive.
Being in their position, they were too clear on the reason.
Because the Planter family controlled a massive amount of wealth, and if all seven core members here were to die, the Planter family would indeed disband, but the wealth would also dissipate with it.
After all, those present were just the core members; the Planter family is a conglomerate of vast power.
This family has lasted ten centuries, with very complex internal members, and only the core members held the most voice.
If all seven died, the family branches would become independent.
Conversely, if one of the seven survived, that person could control the entire wealth of the Planter family, even if a few below refused to comply, they would be a minority.
Therefore, when Lu Heng said there were five bullets in the gun, the six surviving people understood what it meant.
Of the six people here, only the last puppet could stay alive.
Will they die silently like Old Henry, or live as a puppet?
The answer was too simple; all six wanted to live, so all six pondered.
The sixty-year-old man was the first to understand the key, sweeping his gaze over the other five, jumping out of his chair, rushing towards the round table, and reaching for the gun.
His speed wasn't slow at all; he was clearly a superpower user, despite being older, but he was very agile.
However, there was someone faster than him.
Warick Edward reached after him, grabbed his hand, and with his other hand snatched the gun first.
The others also stood up, shouting loudly, "Wait a minute, Warick you should know that even if you survive, it won't end well."
Warick Edward's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, snorted, "You old bastards should have died long ago!"
He directly raised the gun, "Bang bang bang..." firing five shots consecutively, taking down four people.
Though five shots were fired, only four people were hit, as the last one was an empty shot.
There were only five bullets in the revolver, and one slot was empty.
The fifth empty shot was fired at Lady Margaret.
Lady Margaret saw the gun aimed at her and was already about to faint.
When the "click" came, she realized she hadn't been shot.
