The Card Master Paul, who was about to intervene, was full of anger.
However, as soon as he made a move, a purple lightning struck him.
He couldn't even release his card; it was as if his powers were completely sealed.
The purple lightning, although it didn't cause him substantial harm, was incredibly painful. Even as a Silver Seven-Star Card Master, he gritted his teeth in pain.
It felt like being cut deeply with a knife on the thigh, so painful it numbed the nerves.
"This person actually used a rule card. I didn't expect him to have such a trump card."
Card Master Paul said with slight surprise.
After all, rule cards were not so easy to obtain.
One card was enough to make people fight over it, and rule card masters were relatively rare. Luo Sheng was increasingly seen as more formidable in Paul's eyes.
Unfortunately, Paul couldn't stop him.
"Forget it, we'll meet again someday."
Paul spat out a thick wad of phlegm with resentment.
He glanced at Luo Sheng's departing back.
Then, he quickly left the area and hid.
The streets were increasingly filled with members of the guard team, likely clearing out many of the invading creatures.
On the other side.
Luo Sheng arrived at the nearest guard station.
He handed over Xia Xingri's body and the contaminated cards to the guards, while also telling them he had been attacked by a Card Master organization.
Of course, Luo Sheng was not a perfect student.
He killed and collected the bodies.
Moreover, members of evil organizations could fetch a lot of money.
Xia Xingri's body was placed in a body bag by the guards to be sent to the Card Alliance for research, and Luo Sheng was rewarded with 200,000 yuan.
As for the contaminated cards, they gave him a compensation of 50,000 yuan each.
There were 20 cards in Xia Xingri's card box.
His contaminated cards could not be sold on the market; doing so would be a crime and go against the Card Alliance.
Especially since years ago, the Alliance had opened contaminated cards for research by conglomerates, leading to the rise of contaminated cards. These conglomerates used the opportunity to cultivate their own black forces.
Eventually, with the funding of these conglomerates, the Evil Card Master organization was born, controlling the invading creatures to attack Dragon City, turning it into a sacrificial victim of the Card Alliance's poor decision-making.
Therefore, the Card Alliance had to tighten laws and even enforce a ban, prohibiting all evil cards and contaminated cards. Only the Card Alliance itself could conduct research on them.
"This is the reward I applied for you. It's already deposited in your account."
A mature female guard in a gray uniform said.
"Thank you."
Luo Sheng expressed his thanks and quickly glanced at his account. It had increased by 1.2 million, bringing his total assets to 1.62 million.
Not only did he receive a 120,000 yuan reward, but the academy also gave him a random card draw opportunity upon hearing the news.
The mature female guard smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's the least we could do. You eliminated an evil member for Pingcheng.
Although he wasn't a true member of the Evil Card Master organization, the Card Master organization is a derivative organization of theirs, equally despicable. If you have any news to provide, we can offer more rewards."
Luo Sheng was no longer that interested in the rewards.
He was more concerned about his own safety.
"Well, what about the Card Master who's hiding? He's a Silver-level, very dangerous."
The mature female guard kept smiling. "Don't worry, I've already initiated a search based on your description and the name. We'll have results soon. Furthermore, after this incident, Pingcheng will be under martial law. If he dares to act, he'll likely walk straight into a trap."
It seemed like she was trying to reassure him.
Could this really guarantee his safety?
Luo Sheng still had some doubts, but obviously, the guards didn't have a better solution.
After all, he wasn't that important. Unless he had the identity of someone like Wei Chi Xueyao, the Alliance's envoy, maybe the guards would solve the case right away.
"Alright, I trust you."
Luo Sheng's words were just polite; internally, he was thinking that he needed to get stronger to ensure his safety.
Once he left the guard station, he brought everyone back to the apartment.
However, the three of them sat on the sofa, their gazes complex as they looked at Luo Sheng.
"What's with those looks? I'm a perfect student, contributing to society!"
Luo Sheng said with an air of righteousness.
Because he acted according to his conscience.
This was indeed a significant contribution to the Alliance. After all, the body of an evil Card Master might help push forward the process of eliminating such individuals.
However, his words didn't change the strange looks the three of them gave him.
This was because his methods were far too practiced. Not only did he kill the man, but he also took Xia Xingri's card box and even packed up the body.
After all, the body wasn't worth much.
But he cleaned up so thoroughly. Even killers didn't usually do it so meticulously. It was as if he ate the meal and wiped the plate clean, leaving nothing behind.
Qin Jianjia: "You seem quite experienced."
Wang Keai: "Is your side job as an assassin?"
Xu Yourong: "Same question."
Luo Sheng: "..."
Hey! That's too much.
I saved you guys, and instead of thanking me, you're doubting me? That's just too much.
Wang Keai then said earnestly, "But still, thank you. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have made it back."
Xu Yourong also nodded, suddenly pulling out a card and handing it to Luo Sheng. He took a look, and it was a Bronze Five-Star skill card.
[ [Charged Arrow]
Level: Bronze Five-Star
Type: Skill

Gather all energy and fire a metal crossbow bolt with strong penetration and destructive power. It can penetrate a 50mm steel plate and cause effective internal injury, resulting in a tearing effect. Its effective range can reach 1,000 meters, with the damage decreasing the farther the distance.You can use it three times a day.
Summary: A weapon favored by assassins for killing targets silently in covert wars.]
Xu Yourong then said, "Your flaw is too obvious. You lack skill cards, so you're forced to rely on brute force to defeat your opponents. Sooner or later, you'll be at a disadvantage."
This was her way of thanking Luo Sheng.
Goodness, she really is rich.
Luo Sheng gave a quick glance at the card, noticing it was a Bronze Five-Star card.
But Xu Yourong's words were true. He did lack skill cards like this, and in order to quickly eliminate his opponents, he had to take risks.
As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.
If something went wrong, he could lose everything.
It seemed like his deck needed to be reorganized. It hadn't been updated in a long time.
If he hadn't temporarily strengthened Dongfang Muqing and secretly kept Frost Giant Dragon, the battle might have been more intense, and his chances of failure higher.
Wang Keai, the rich lady, also took out two cards from her bag, but at the same time, she took out another one.
"These two [Frost Flower Buds] are for you. Your [Little Snow Demon] hasn't been strengthened and can't keep up with you. Also, please help me strengthen this [Snow Queen]."
Wang Keai was also acting out of gratitude.
After all, during the surprise attack in the banquet hall, if Luo Sheng hadn't noticed, she might have been one of the fallen Card Masters.
Moreover, during his battle with Xia Xingri, he worked hard and almost got seriously injured.
