Chapter 8: I Heard That I Was Dead?

Perhaps the best outcome would be for all of them to die, including Chris.

However, when Emerson looked at Chris, who was about to die, he thought for a while, and finally ended his life with a long knife.

It was better to have a quick death.

The wound the captain had left on Chris’ shoulder would not allow him to live past today.

Even if he did not want to die, there was nothing he could do.

Then, Emerson found a key on the captain’s body. At the same time, he found a box in Alan’s backpack.

He could use the key to open the book. Everything was clear at a glance.

There were only 3 things in the box.

A crystal card, which was a certificate of storing gold coins. The card could be used to withdraw gold coins in Iron City, or it could be used to pay for something.

Apart from that, Emerson also obtained the token Chris had mentioned. There was an unknown word carved on it, as if it represented a certain level after a certain classification.

Since he could not understand it, he might as well ignore it.

The most precious thing was still the soul eater stone with a tier 6 creature soul.

That item could only be used by a tier 7 genetic warrior or higher. It was in short supply in Iron City. If it was sold on the black market, it would be worth at least 1,000 gold coins.

What kind of concept was this?

Under normal circumstances, 1 gold coin was enough for a family of 3 to live a comfortable life for a year.

That was sufficient to show how precious the tier 6 creature soul was.

Moreover, from the markings on the soul eater stone, this seemed to be a relatively rare possession type creature soul.

After using it, it could increase one’s genetic attributes tremendously.

“Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough now, so I can only keep it for now.”

Emerson kept the things and then threw the 3 corpses into the dark forest. After watching them being eaten up by the mutated creatures, he picked up the the Red-scaled Fire Python’s meat and left.

On his way back to Iron City, he did not encounter anything similar.

He was not stopped by the city defense.

After entering the city, the first thing Emerson did was to buy a cloak that could cover his face. He then brought the Red-scaled Fire Python’s meat to a tavern to sell.

The meat of a tier 8 mutated creature was not rare. Thus, no one paid attention to him.

Moreover, it was only a small portion of meat.

Most of the meat was still in the dark forest, and he could not move it at all. He could not do anything to it.

Along the way, Emerson paid attention to the menu of the tavern to see if there was any creature meat that he needed.

However, when he saw the price, he was shocked.

Tier 9 strength-type creature meat: 10 gold coins/pound.

Tier 8 water elemental creature meat: 200 gold coins/pound.

Tier 8 agility-type creature meat: 148 gold coins/pound.

…

This price was ridiculously expensive!

The meat was only sold for 30 gold coins per pound.

In the end, if he wanted to eat something, he would have to pay more than 5 times the price?

Even though the meat was refined to make it easier for the human body to absorb, and it was no longer so disgusting, the price was still too expensive.

Emerson shook his head and left the tavern.

Then, he went to the auction house to auction off the stinger creature soul that had been replaced by a long knife.

That thing was not worth a lot of money. It could only be sold for about 10 gold coins. After getting the crystal card, he no longer cared about this small amount of money.

However, Emerson wanted to see if the captain’s token would work here.

It was indeed as Chris had said. After he showed the token, he was brought to the room by a servant and traded without anyone else beside him.

He did not ask any unnecessary questions. He just wanted to sell something, and the servant was very straightforward too.

It was a quick trade.

13 gold coins in his hand. Looking at the servant who was about to leave, Emerson Cole called out to him in a hoarse voice.

“Wait a minute, I still have something to sell.”

As he spoke, he took out a fiery red bead from his pocket.

It was the soul pill of the Red-scaled Fire Python, the only valuable material that Emerson had brought with him.

The servant was somewhat surprised. Soul pills were not something that every creature possessed.

The soul pills were similar to creature souls. There might not even be 1 out of 100 or 1,000 of mutated creatures.

Moreover, compared to creature souls, soul pills, which could be directly absorbed by elemental genetic warriors, were even rarer.

Even in their auction house, they would not see 1 in a few months.

The attitude of the servant changed slightly. With a slightly respectful tone, he said, “Sir, would you like to sell it directly to our auction house, or would you like to sell this soul pill through this month’s auction?”

“Let’s auction it,” Emerson said calmly.

The more gold coins, the better.

For rare items like soul pills, there was no need to worry about losing the auction.

Then, the servant handed over a sign.

“The auction will be held at the end of this month. Sir, you can enter the venue through this sign.”

“Okay.”

Emerson took the token and left the auction house.

There were still many things he needed to do next.

However, the most important thing was to increase his strength.

His still needed a little thing to advance to another tier. He needed to consume more mutated creature’s meat in order to grow into a tier 8 genetic warrior.

Although the meat in the tavern was expensive, it was at least much faster than the time he spent in the dark forest.

However, before that, Emerson Cole had returned home.

His home was located in the slums of the Southern District of Iron City, which was the most chaotic place in Iron City. There were all kinds of scum staying there.

With more than 3,000 gold coins, the first thing Emerson had to do was to pick up his sister, Lucy Cole, who was dependent on him.

Lucy was very beautiful and famous, so she was frequently teased by the hooligans and scums.

If it was not for the fact that there were no genetic warriors in that area and Emerson’s methods were ruthless, Lucy would have long become a plaything for those men.

However, it was difficult for Emerson to fight against all of them. No matter how good Emerson was, he was unable to deal with so many hooligans and scums at the same time.

From the age of 15 to 19, he was injured and wounded almost every day.

Lucy, who was 18 years old, had become even more attractive.

Even some genetic warriors outside the area had heard of her. They were trying to approach her by all means.

Due to that reason, Emerson had taken the risk to enter the dark forest, in order to change the situation they were facing.

However, just as he reached the door of his house, he discovered that the door had already been violently broken open. At the same time, a man’s sharp voice came from within.

“What a delicate body, Lucy. Don’t force me! I might hurt you!”

“Let go of me, James! My brother will definitely not let you go if he sees this!”

“Hahahaha, you’re still thinking about your brother? That useless brother of yours must have died in the dark forest by now.”

Bang!

Emerson threw his shield at the filthy man, and the shield hit violently at the man.

He stepped into the room and glanced around with his cold eyes.

“I heard that someone thought I was dead?”
