Chapter 338: Chapter Three Hundred Thirty-Five: "You Despicable VillainSherrod stood at the doorway, his armor gleaming with a golden light, his cheeks slightly flushed, looking as if he had been waiting there for quite a while.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation," he said to the old lady.
"..." The old lady didn’t speak, just looked at him.
"Captain. It’s now six o’clock in the afternoon, time for the second sweep task," Sherrod turned to Su Ming’an, "I planned to complete the second sweep task with you last night, but found you were not in your room. Did you go on the task alone last night?"
"Yes." Su Ming’an knew he couldn’t hide his overnight absence from Soul Hunt.
But surprisingly, no one pursued the matter here, not even Aelas seemed concerned.
After all, Ming’an’s identity as a descendant of Su Rin, combined with his S+ Charm and Rulers’ cooperation, even with players snitching, these NPCs, inherently advantaged in favorability, wouldn’t easily believe the players.
"Then let’s get ready to go," said Sherrod with a smile.
"Now?" Su Ming’an glanced at the setting sun. It wasn’t night yet, and the concealed Soul Clan shouldn’t be roaming around.
"You haven’t had dinner yet," said Sherrod. "There’s a good barbecue place that opened recently, and I’d like to invite you to join me."
Su Ming’an paused for a moment, "Didn’t we already go?"
He almost thought there was an error in his memory of the rollback, remembering that they had already eaten there...
"No, not the one from last time." Sherrod’s smile remained radiant, "Because I just came back from outside, I really miss the cuisine of Pulaya. Going alone would be too conspicuous, so I can only invite you to join me..."
Su Ming’an fell silent for a moment.
Thinking there was nothing pressing, and it might be good to improve this man’s favorability, he agreed to the invitation.
He said goodbye to the old lady, pocketed her photograph, and left the bungalow.
...
[Received a C-Level temporary task: Deliver the photograph.]
[Task description: Deliver Gerald’s family picture to the Soul Hunter leader, Aelas, at the central Soul Hunter Department.]
[Task reward: Aelas favorability +10, 30 points.]
...
Faint sounds of a woman’s cough came from behind the door.
Although the old lady did not expressly say so during the conversation, Su Ming’an caught on that her daughter Jiajia likely had a terminal illness.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been necessary for the old grandfather to go to Yun Shang City alone in
...
Su Ming’an chose No, continuing to idle at the entrance of the church.
Resource Points continued to rise steadily, the situation looked very good, and even the natural disasters had been completely repaired...
He stared at the sandbox representing the Despicable with a triangle, the Despicable appeared to be on the edge of the battlefield, doing something unknown. This guy’s time for handling the disaster mission seemed a bit long, he had almost waited for a full two hours...
Suddenly, a system alert coldly popped out.
[The Despicable from Heaven was influenced by the local military, loyalty plummeted.]
[The Despicable from Heaven refuses to return to Demon King City.]
[The Despicable from Heaven decides to break away from Demon King City, you have lost the Heir·Heaven’s Despicable.]
[Honorable Lord Demon King, you can designate the next soldier as your Heir now!]
...
Immediately thereafter, Su Ming’an saw the sandbox, where the triangle representing the Despicable suddenly disappeared, no matter how he searched, he could no longer dictate the Despicable’s actions.
A list of soldiers’ names unfolded before his eyes, seemingly awaiting his selection to become the next Heir.
...How could there be betrayal?
Su Ming’an’s eyelids twitched violently.
He seemed to understand the intention behind this instance.
