Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1454: The Retaliation Part 5

The Swordsman Captain was helpless in the situation. They couldn’t possibly use force against these citizens, which would definitely backfire hard.

The more they resisted and stopped them from leaving, the more likely they would rebel and demand to be freed.

Hence, the Swordsman Captain didn’t bother to stop them from fleeing. Their prestige was long dampened by two repeated failures against Carmen.

While a stalemate seemed to have begun, Carmen heaved a sigh of relief.

’Phew, if only they knew I only have 1 Void Portal left.’ She thought to herself.

Although she could traverse with Void Portals, she could only hold a maximum capacity of 5 portals. And to recharge them would take at least half an hour each.

Naturally, this was possible because she had upgraded the skill.

When she first obtained it, the maximum capacity was only 2, with a recharge duration of 5 hours.

However, that changed all of a sudden when she received some power from the Origin Fragment.

"Hmm, looks like the rest of you have learned the lesson." Carmen kept up her persona and snickered.

She then turned her eyes to the players.

"Immortals, do head toward Bardmon City if you wish to seek a chance to join the Void Force Embassy. According to my intel, a fellow Immortal of yours seemed to have received a mission from someone in the Void Force Embassy. They are going to repel the Colossuses, so any merits earned would show us your worth."

Just a few minutes ago, she had been briefed by Xu Feng that the court hearing was concluded and that he would be deployed to Bardmon City as the commander in charge of repelling the Colossus.

And if her memories weren’t terrible, Bardmon City was the base for the Super Guild, Razor Technology. It didn’t take her long to connect the dots and decide to use this opportunity to send a helper to Xu Feng.

These players had mistaken her for some top-tier NPC, so she could take advantage of their desire to gain an advantage over others to become free labor.

This was what one would call hitting two birds with one stone.

But it was more correct to say multiple birds because she had completed her objective and many more.

’If I utilize this Void Force Embassy persona correctly, I can create a falsified army to do my bidding.’ She thought to herself, feeling quite wicked for holding such a mindset.

Truly, it was the bad influence of Xu Feng.

Everything wicked or shrewd always originated from him!

Sometime later, Carmen received a message from Veronica that they should leave now.

After all, the incense was used to attract the Colossuses according to Xu Feng, to raid the city.

And the monsters under the Colossuses were less intelligent or didn’t care for anyone’s identity. They would simply slaughter and wreak havoc by their basic instinct.

"Anyway, I have said my piece. If you wish to have a chance to meet my fellow comrades or me, come find me at Bardmon City." Carmen said and opened a Void Portal.

Upon seeing the void portal, the law enforcement guards could only stare with a bittersweet expression.

They didn’t dare to stop or launch an attack, lest the attack might redirect back to them. Or worse, the intruder decided to deal with them altogether.

Meanwhile, the players were long excited by the news.

As much as they regretted not being able to make physical contact with them, they were enthusiastic about the next objective.

"I don’t know who or where you come from. But you’d better keep the information sealed for now." One of them said, clearly intending to make their way to Bardmon City without the news being spread.

Many in the scene nodded their heads in agreement. This kind of exclusive information was known only to them.

To spread them away was no different than splitting your hard-earned money among some random strangers.

Alas, there were still some of them who could only flash a bitter smile.

Unlike the others who would face no consequences in concealing the information, they weren’t quite fortunate. If they were discovered and exposed for concealing this information, then their lives were over.

After all, the guild’s contracts were no different than the contracts used in the real world by top companies.

It was extremely beneficial, but it also came with multiple restrictions and clauses.

Of course, it wasn’t some sort of slave contract. Instead, it was a contract that prevented them from assisting their competitors and required them to provide valuable information if they discovered anything that benefited the guild.

"This Carmen only knows how to make a mess for me..." Veronica frowned when the spies she planted sent her information regarding a Void Force Embassy appearing in Numon City.

Although she didn’t witness the situation because she was busy with her own task, she was certain that this so-called Void Force Embassy was Carmen.

Out of everyone here, only Carmen had the power of the void.

And she refused to believe some random powerful NPC would suddenly appear in the city that she planned on wreaking havoc on.

There was no such thing as too many coincidences.

One was still acceptable, two were still somewhat acceptable but questionable, and as for the third and beyond?

I THINK NOT!

To avoid suspicion, Veronica could only deploy most of the Vanguard Guild members to head over to Bardmon City as well.

’The Guild Leader is being deployed there, so it’s only right that we know in advance.’ She had no intention of exposing the spies she had painstakingly sent over to multiple guilds.

Each one of them was a valuable person who delivered great intel to her promptly.

’Ugh, I should ask for a pay raise.’ She knitted her brows and sighed deeply.

Of course, it was a joke because her pay was already very high. To put it in perspective, a CEO from the top 100 companies still earned less than her salary.

The Vanguard Guild was not just a small upstart guild anymore. It was a well-known brand, with actual companies established in the real world.
