Chapter 199 - Arriving At Damocles



"The underworld cannot be removed so long as society exists, so you want to control it instead, huh?! Aren\'t you overestimating yourself? Do you think your Krebs family has the capability?!" William Seymour spat. 

His gaze immediately locked onto the captivity cages. 

Evidently, Luther Krebs\'s strength was higher than his own. If he wanted to stand on even ground with his opponent, he must power up first!

Swoosh—!

In the next moment, William Seymour darted to the cage and kicked open the lock, causing thousands of tiny insects held in captivity to be released.

Splat!

William Seymour immediately squashed several insects beneath his feet and reaped their lives and EXP. 

<You have gained 1.5 EXP>

<You have gained 1.2 EXP>

<You have gained 1.4 EXP>

As expected, the EXP gained from otherworldly insects was not high, but its value was still greater than ordinary insects and animals local to Earth.

When thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of these insects are slaughtered, the EXP will still reach a terrifying number. 

"Cease your useless struggle and accept your death, Mr. William. It\'s was the end of the road for you the moment you turned down the chance to be parasitized," Luther Krebs stated coolly. 

He simply watched William Seymour\'s futile attempt at powering up calmly. 

Click!

With a snap of his fingers, all the captivity cages in the storage room swung open and unleashed the hoard of millions of insects at once.

Screech, screech!

The ceaseless chattering of insect movements filled the storage room after regaining their freedom. 

"Are you crazy?! You want to get us all killed?!" William Seymour\'s eyes widened in shock and alarm at Luther Kreb\'s actions. 

Even if the insects were weak, he would still feel threatened if he were to get swarmed by such large numbers of them.

However, Luther Krebs\'s expression remained neutral.

"I prefer you to call them Scruxs, but it doesn\'t really matter. You won\'t be alive for long anyway," Luther Krebs casually said. 

With a wave of his hands, the disorderly Scrux seemed to have received a command and immediately gathered towards Luther Krebs\'s side with excellent coordination. 

William Seymour\'s pupil shrank before he exclaimed, "You can control the insects?!" 

In that instance, William Seymour came to a startling discovery. 

This was no longer a conflict between the difference of interests between two people. No, it was much grander and graver than that. 

It was a conflict between two races and worlds—Luther Krebs had chosen to stand on the opposite side of humanity!

"The Scruxs don\'t have high intelligence, but they are very obedient and disciplined like ants. Lower-rank Scruxs will always obey the commands of high-ranking Scrux," Luther Kreb commented casually.

Shortly after, he gave William Seymour an indifferent glance before ordering the Scrux soldiers to attack. 

"Kill him."

"F*ck!"

William Seymour quickly retreated, but he was soon backed by a wall and cornered while Luther Krebs had unknowingly positioned himself in front of the exit. 

\'Seems like there\'s not much chance of me getting out of this one, huh?\' William Seymour mused.

As the battle at Eastern Allure Auction House drew closer to a conclusion without any news from the various families\' main forces, a spaceship departed from Damocles en route for Silvercove city—shooting past the Cruiser-class starships.

"Woah, so fast!" Xiao Hua exclaimed. 

She gazed at the stars from within the Cruiser-class starship while Xiao Qing stood beside her and also admired the beauty of deep space. 

Only outside of Earth, would they be able to enjoy the breathtaking view of the beautiful blue planet and the countless stars beyond.

Ding!

<Attention all guests>

<The Cruiser-class starship will be arriving at Damocles station in approximately 10 minutes>

<All guests are advised to gather at the designated exit point with all their belongings five minutes prior in preparation for departure>

<The droids will be assisting all guests in reaching the designated exit point>

<We hope all guests had a pleasant experience onboard Cruiser-class starship, CCS-004>

<That is all, thank you>

Beep.

Shortly after the announcement ended, a pair of droids arrived at Xiao Hua and Xiao Qing\'s location and greeted them with a slight bow of respect.

"Miss Hua, Miss Qing, this way please," the droids gestured. 

"Oh," Xiao Hua uttered before mimicking to give the droids a slight bow back, "Thank you, Mr. Robot."

"They\'re just robots, Xiao Hua. They just follow a set of instructions through programming and have no real thoughts of their own. There\'s no need to bow to them," Xiao Qing said wryly, not knowing where to laugh or cry.

"Oh…" Xiao Hua uttered again. 

Nevertheless, Xiao Hua did not think the same. She felt that even if robots are programmed to react and feel certain ways, they should still be treated with equal respect.

Shortly after, the two reunited with their parents and grandfather, who stood together with the Seymour family and several other guests. 

"Mom."

"Dad."

"Grandpa."

The girls greeted each of them. 

"Un," Xiao Pipi nodded before he instructed, "Later, there\'s a chance that we will be meeting Emperor Polemos. I want you two to be on your best behavior—especially you, Xiao Hua." 

Xiao Pipi gazed at his youngest daughter strictly. 

"I know, father," Xiao Hua pouted.

On the Seymour family\'s side, Klein Seymour also glanced at his youngest daughter and said, "Did you hear that? I also want you all to behave yourselves." 

"Not only will we be meeting Emperor Polemos at the big welcoming banquet, but there will also be many high-ranking personnel and families attending. Don\'t cause any trouble, okay?"

"Damocles is not the same as Silvercove city. Your father won\'t be able to protect you if you offend someone important," David Seymour added sternly. 

David Seymour did not mind his grandchildren messing around normally—but when it comes to important matters.

Seeing how serious her grandpa and father were, Anya Seymour was taken aback. 

Nevertheless, she was not completely ignorant and nodded solemnly shortly after, "Anya understands."

Not long after, the Cruiser-class starships finished porting inside Damocles\'s docking bay and opened its side ramps.

The interior of Damocles\'s docking bay was quickly revealed before the guests were all awed by its sheer size. 

"Guests of Silvercove city, I presume? The emperor has tasked this subordinate to assist with your accommodations.. Please follow me," spoke a tall, lean man in black uniform.
