The largest safe zone exit in Safe Zone No. 14121 was No. 38324. Aside from Qin Siyang, not a single Rookie made it into the top five.
Even the fifth-ranked Sun Juhong had only a little over three hundred points.
The imposing aura of Feng Shouben instantly shrank by half.
Qin Siyang's cold demeanor exuded absolute dominance.
His question, carried by the gusts of cold wind, slapped Feng Shouben across the face.
His indifference made Feng Shouben feel as if the words he had just spoken were nothing more than the ramblings of a clown.
Perhaps it was because Qin Siyang's youthful appearance had led him to subconsciously underestimate him, attempting to use the pressure of a superior to force his compliance.
However, Feng Shouben suddenly realized that Qin Siyang didn't regard him, or even this entire region, as anything significant.
Even Feng Shouben had to admit that Qin Siyang had the qualifications to act this way.
Because, in City No. 141, there had never been a sequence ability user with over a thousand Hunter Points.
Qin Siyang spoke again, his tone light, "The mayor should know who I am."
"Don't think too highly of yourself. Qin Siyang, don't assume that just because you have 2,500 points, you can do whatever you want."
Qin Siyang tilted his head and glanced at Feng Shouben, then let out a mocking chuckle.
If his points weren't absurdly high, making it impossible for them to remove him and replace him with someone else, would Feng Shouben have personally come to waste words with him?
Moreover, as the mayor, if he was going to hold a Rookie King meeting but didn't even know about the reigning Rookie King who was leagues ahead of everyone else, then he might as well not bother with the meeting at all.
At this moment, Qin Siyang noticed that not far away, Olov was smoking a cigar while watching him.
Compared to this silver-haired old man in a scarf, Feng Shouben was nothing more than an appetizer.
"If Old Qian isn't attending, then I won't go," After saying this, he left Feng Shouben standing there and got up to walk toward Olov.
Seeing him approach, Olov took a few steps to the side, avoiding the prying eyes of others.
"Qin Siyang, we meet again,".Olov extended his hand, intending to shake Qin Siyang's.
However, Qin Siyang kept both hands in his pockets.
"Mm."
Olov didn't feel embarrassed. He simply smiled and said, "I'm here this time to show my goodwill."
"Mm."
Qin Siyang believed that goodwill should be demonstrated through actions, not words.
So far, Olov had never shown even the slightest bit of goodwill through his actions.
"I know you killed them. I have evidence, but I didn't report it to the Administration Bureau. Does that count as goodwill?"
Qin Siyang chuckled again.
Holding something over his head but choosing not to report it, this counted as goodwill?
Olov thought Qin Siyang was laughing because he didn't believe him, so he added, "I just checked, the long spear stuck in Johnson's head has Sun Juhong's fingerprints on it."
"Shouldn't it?"
Olov smirked, "The spear shaft only has his right-hand fingerprints. But funny thing is, I know Sun Juhong, he's left-handed."
"Evidence?"
"He's posted several videos in [Godslayer Camp] showing himself using his left hand to throw weapons and hunt divine creatures, to attract recruits for his Hunter squad."
"That still doesn't prove I killed him."
"Sun Juhong is a Sequence Level 2 [Thrower]. But Johnson was a Sequence Level 2 [Warrior], whose entire skeleton had been strengthened by the passive skill [Hardness]. At best, Sun Juhong could barely pierce him with one thrust. However, a significant portion of the spear was sticking out from the back of Johnson's head, the force doesn't match up."
"Johnson's manner of death could have been caused by a Sequence Level 3 [Phantom Assassin] using [Sacrificial Strike]. If I recall correctly, you seem to have obtained eighty bottles of Sequence potions. If fully consumed, you should have reached Sequence Level 3 by now, right?"
"Of course, in my eyes, [Phantom Assassin] is far inferior to you."
Qin Siyang looked at Olov and gave a slight nod, not particularly surprised.
From the moment Olov had shown up here, Qin Siyang had already expected that this irritating old man would be able to see through the crime scene he had clumsily staged.
"I won't say anything about this matter. I just hope you believe me. I truly came with goodwill, hoping we could be friends."
After saying that, Olov extended his hand again and smiled slightly.
Qin Siyang only felt annoyed.
He didn't need friends.
Especially not friends like Olov.
But he had to admit, Olov always managed to hit him right where it hurt.
As he hesitated, considering whether to shake the offered hand, he suddenly heard a startled cry from behind.
"Director! We found two carefully wrapped Sequence potions in Johnson's backpack. There are residual traces of Charles' and Hu Changdu's auras on them!"
"They were the two people killed in Safe Zones No. 14130 and No. 14117. The city even issued a bounty, 48 Hunter Points and 50 Hunter Points, respectively, to catch the culprit. From the looks of it now, the murderer was Johnson."
Upon hearing this, both Olov and Qin Siyang's expressions froze for a moment.
Olov's smile gradually faded, appearing instead on Qin Siyang's face.
Qin Siyang smacked his lips, "Excuse me for a moment."
He turned and walked toward Feng Shouben and the Administration Bureau officers, then spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Johnson—I killed him."
The two men looked at him in confusion.
Feng Shouben narrowed his eyes, his expression dark, "Didn't you say they killed each other?"
"Johnson killed them, but I killed Johnson."
"You killed Johnson? Weren't you supposed to have lost mobility due to the toxic mist?"
"I lost mobility, but not completely."
Feng Shouben pointed at the bloodstained spear embedded in Johnson's head, "But he was killed by Sun Juhong's spear. The spear even has Sun Juhong's fingerprints on it."
"I picked up the spear and killed Johnson. Then, fearing repercussions, I wiped off my fingerprints."
Feng Shouben was infuriated by Qin Siyang's shamelessness, "Evidence? The spear still has Sun Juhong's fingerprints!"
"The spear shaft only has Sun Juhong's right-hand fingerprints. But he's left-handed."
"He's left-handed? How do you prove it?"
Qin Siyang opened [Godslayer Camp], searched for "Sun Juhong," and played a video of him throwing spears with his left hand.
Sun Juhong gritted his teeth, "That still doesn't prove you killed him!"
"Johnson's bones were strengthened by [Hardness]. Sun Juhong's spear could barely pierce him. But a significant portion of the spear was sticking out from the back of Johnson's head, the force doesn't match up."
"A Sequence Level 3 [Phantom Assassin] could achieve this. Someone like me, for instance."
After speaking, Qin Siyang glanced at Olov, who was standing not far away, and gave a slight nod of thanks.
Olov flicked away his cigar and left coldly.
Feng Shouben clenched his teeth, "What about the other four? Did you kill them too?"
"No, Johnson did."
"Just now, you didn't admit it. But now that you've realized Johnson had a bounty on his head, and you won't be held responsible, you're claiming credit so you can collect the points?"
"Mm."
Feng Shouben's forehead veins bulged with anger, but he was helpless.
The evidence Qin Siyang presented was flawless.
A nearby Administration Bureau officer asked, "Director, we've apprehended a wanted criminal, should we report this to the city…?"
"I KNOW!!"
