Chapter 428
After returning to the real world, Su Jin rested for two days, then started improving on the signaling machine with Geppetto. Geppetto also commented that the work became much easier with this rock from a star shard.
In order to make sure that Geppetto could work without interruptions, Su Jin created an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. He got all the necessary equipment from the Handbook itself so that they would definitely be the standard that Geppetto wanted.
Geppetto and Alice ended up making the island their home. Su Jin initially thought of keeping them by his side, but when he thought about what he was about to face next, he became worried and felt that it was safer to keep them further away from him.
After Su Jin returned to S City, he suddenly stopped in his footsteps just before he entered his house. He furrowed his brows as he stared intensely at his own house. There was something amiss about it.
“Show yourselves! I’m not letting you in here without a fight!” shouted Su Jin.
Several figures leaped out from inside the house. A total of eight people surrounded Su Jin. They looked like perfectly normal humans.
Some looked like office workers, some like homemakers, some like the elderly in the parks. But the look in their eyes didn’t match their ordinary faces. Their murderous, fired-up stares proved that they were definitely no ordinary people.
“You guys… are non-human owners!” Su Jin’s eyes widened. He just knew there was something odd about their aura. These people weren’t human at all. If that was the case, they could only be non-human owners.
Out of the eight, a man who looked like an office worker took a step forward and said, “Su Jin… I would advise you against putting up a fight. We’re all quasi god-level fighters, and there are eight of us, so there’s no way you can defeat us!”
