Chapter 835: Chapter 832: Third-Level New Humans Don’t Deserve Surprises

The entire VIP Reception Room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, as everyone was still digesting the shock Uncle Lei had brought them. The head price of a Level 5 New Human was ten thousand Yajin—such a move indicated that the employer intended to completely wipe out the Peace Party!

However, such a high bounty inevitably led people to speculate about the identity of the employer. Taking the second part for example, aside from those members of the old humans who weren’t even worth killing, the total number of new humans in the Peace Party added up to over three hundred thousand, which, in turn, summed up to nine hundred thousand Yajin.

To be able to put forth such an amount of money... this wasn’t something an ordinary person could do. This wasn’t the renminbi from before the Apocalypse; during the Apocalypse, a single Yajin could keep a person alive and breathing for a month!

And what about nine hundred thousand Yajin? How gigantic a figure was that?

As they listened to the astonishing corresponding bounties of the second part, many people’s thoughts began to stir. The first mission to kill off three Level 6 New Humans from the Peace Party was too difficult for the weaker ones among them—it was almost like ascending to the heavens!

The second part, on the other hand, was more humane. Not to mention the rest, just take those Level 3 New Humans; everyone here was at Level 3 or above, so they could just target the Level 3 New Human members of the Peace Party. If that didn’t work, then even the Level 2 New Humans would suffice.

After all, the bounties were not low; killing more would be equivalent to completing an A Grade bounty mission!

For those lower-ranked Bounty Hunters, the bounty of an A Grade mission was unimaginable, but now, they had a chance!

At the same time, some had other ideas in mind. Compared to the trouble during the hidden mission, why not directly find the employer? Since the employer was willing to spend so much Yajin on the Peace Party members’ lives, it meant they weren’t very strong. Capturing them and directly extorting money would be much easier than completing the mission, and the danger level was lower as well.

Others thought about simply completing the second part, and as for the first part, whoever wanted to try, let them go ahead.

Everyone present had their own schemes, but soon, Uncle Lei’s voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Right, I still have a few points to mention, important ones, so listen up. Apart from those present here and other A Grade Hunters currently on missions, no one else must know about this concealed mission; otherwise, I hope you understand the consequences," he said.

"Furthermore, the secret mission has no time limit. The bounties will only be settled after the fall of the three Level 6 New Humans of the Peace Party. Until then, the bounties for the second part will not be settled in advance."

"Ah? Why?"

Uncle Lei’s words instantly infuriated many.

"There is no ’why’. This is the requirement given by the employer, after all, our Yajin is paid by them," he explained.

All the Bounty Hunters looked at each other helplessly. If there was one thing that was respected for its honor in the Apocalypse, it was undoubtedly this damned Mercenary Group. They would dare to do anything for Yajin.

"Alright, since so many people know about this secret mission, we cannot guarantee how many will betray us to the Peace Party. To end the mission sooner and complete the task quickly, let’s get this over with as soon as possible," Uncle Lei urged.

Uncle Lei said with a smile, yet a hint of murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.

"Also, I must warn those of you harboring ill intentions, if you dare disclose the existence of this covert mission to the Peace Party members, the Mercenary Union will spare no expense to hunt you down!"

A shiver went down everyone’s spine, and they knew all too well the consequences of letting the Peace Party know about this secret mission. As much as the Mercenary Union was no match for the Peace Party, the arsenal accumulated over nearly three years of the Apocalypse would be dreadful if aimed at an individual.

"Hey, Old Dog Lei, spare us the talk. We’ve been in this business for so many years, we know the rules. By the way, if I may be so bold to ask, can you tell us who the employer is? Someone who can spend so much Yajin must not be an ordinary person," a Level 5 New Human asked lazily, tilting his head at Uncle Lei.

But Uncle Lei shook his head, saying, "If you know the rules, you should also know that the Mercenary Union does not disclose any information about the employer. So, best put that thought out of your mind."

The Level 5 New Human did not get angry; he had only asked on the off chance that Uncle Lei would reveal something. And even without revealing anything, he couldn’t be disappointed, for the Mercenary Union had never exposed an employer’s information over the many years. It was an iron rule of the trade: disclose an employer’s information, and who would come to hire one after that?

"However, for us, a group of Level 5 New Humans, taking on three Level 6 New Humans from the Peace Party is a bit difficult."

"Right, Jin Ye, the number one on the ranking list, seems to be evolving to Level 6."

"Yes, I heard he was taking an S Grade mission to evolve to Level 6 rapidly through life-and-death experiences!"

"Will he come, I wonder. If Jin Ye evolves to Level 6, this mission might be achievable."

The Bounty Hunters below seemed to remember something and their eyes lit up. Uncle Lei spoke up again, "Jin Ye will return the day after tomorrow to complete his mission. Oh, but I almost forgot the surprise the employer left for you."

"Right, what’s the surprise?"

"You all saw that video just now, and I believe you have some idea in your hearts. The reason those people defeated and killed a Level 6 New Human was largely due to their battle suits, and these suits are the surprise from the employer!"

"The exoskeleton battle suits they wore? Is it true?"

This revelation shocked everyone, and one by one, they stood up—especially those Level 3 New Humans, their eyes almost blindingly bright. With those exoskeleton battle suits, nothing else needed to be said—as long as they faced their equals, it would be like fighting from an invincible position!

"Exactly, the exoskeleton battle suits from the video. It’s the newly developed B-class exoskeleton battle suit from the Central Dongsheng United District, so tough that even Level 6 New Humans would struggle to damage it!"

"Each suit is worth two thousand Yajin, which is expensive. But because of this, I’m sorry to say that only those above Level 4 can obtain this for free. For the rest of you, this surprise..."

Uncle Lei let his words hang, but his meaning was clear enough—the Level 3 New Humans were not entitled to this surprise. This left those Level 3 New Humans disappointed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with this battle suit, I believe the chances of completing the mission will increase significantly. For the sake of all that Yajin, put forth your best effort!"

Uncle Lei shouted, causing the A Grade Bounty Hunters among the Level 4 New Humans below to cheer.

...

The internal war within the United District lasted about a month. With the members of the Yesteryear Association being caught and killed, the war finally began to draw to a close.
