Chapter 77: Just Burn It All!
Jason was still new to being a superhuman, and even though everyone hailed him as the strongest awakener in the world, no one in the government expected him to grow this quickly since they thought that he only had an ocular ability.
If Jason suddenly brought more than three hundred Magical Crystals forward and told them that he got them from an Orange-level Gate, they would definitely become suspicious. Not only would it be difficult for them to just believe that he ’found’ an orange Gate, but it would also be difficult for them to accept that someone with an ocular ability was able to defeat the Eldritch Rank boss that would be in the Orange Gate.
At that moment, Jason decided that he was not going to sell the crystals to the government just yet. For now, Jason had enough money to last him a long time, so he didn’t need to worry about making more. Rather than selling the crystals and exposing himself, he would hold onto them and find a way to sell them without drawing attention his way.
’I’ve heard of those private companies that try to buy Magical Crystals from superhumans, but the SMD has a monopoly on the crystals since they are the ones in charge of everything superhuman-related. If I can find a company that isn’t affiliated with the government at all and won’t reveal my identity, then I can just sell it to them. Most private companies even pay more than the SMD, so it shouldn’t be a problem.’
Jason made up his mind quickly about the situation. Jason wasn’t afraid of what the government could do to him since he was more than strong enough to handle anyone who attacked him, but he was cautious because he didn’t know who he could trust in the government. That lady he spoke to earlier was still fresh in his mind, and he still remembered the unpleasant feeling he got when they spoke. There was no doubt that she was up to something, and Jason was only going to draw more attention to himself if he exposed that he had gone into an Orange Gate.
Jason closed down the system tabs that were open in front of him and began to scroll through his main tab to check and see if he could upgrade some of the Pawns with the kill points that he had gotten. The Rooks couldn’t be upgraded yet since they hadn’t reached their max hierarchy percentage, so he had to focus on making the pawns stronger. But he stopped when he felt a tremor travel across the entire cavern!
DOON!
A sound like an earthquake traveled through the cave with rocks and stalactites falling from the ceiling and slamming into the ground! The Legion all began to screech or howl in irritation as they moved out of the way of the falling rocks, and Jason immediately called on one of his rooks when he felt another massive tremor travel through the ground!
’Am I under attack? No, there shouldn’t be anything in this Gate stronger than the boss, and I already killed it! So what the hell is going on?’
