Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 431: Chapter 194 Firefly Club_3

“`

But what shocked them came next.

Nie Siyan continued,

“As a result, Huang Wu and Liao Xia died…”

“???”

“Boss Huang is dead too.”

“!!!”

All the survivors, including Brother Wang’s confidants, were dumbfounded. They all felt like they had been struck by lightning.

The boss is dead?

The boss’s own brother and the boss’s second wife too?

Three out of the four Level 2 Ability Users in our Skull Club are dead?

Although some people harbored a thought of hating Boss Huang and wished he would die sooner when scolded by him, that was merely a thought. Rationally, no one wanted anything to happen to Boss Huang; after all, they had survived up until now under his protection.

Without Boss Huang, the strong Level 2 Ability User, how were they, the ordinary folks and Level 1 ability users, supposed to live… The Skull Club would probably fall out of the ranks of the medium-sized powers!

According to the established norms in Zijing City, only the forces comprised of ability users were widely recognized, and only those established by Level 2 Ability Users were considered medium-sized.

Skull Club used to have four Level 2 Ability Users, especially Boss Huang, who had significant combat power. So, the overall strength of the Skull Club was quite acceptable among the medium-sized powers.

But now, not only had their population decreased by eight or nine tenths, but three Level 2 Ability Users had also died! Only one Level 2 Ability User was left, and it was Nie Siyan, who wasn’t very strong in combat…

Everyone felt darkness looming before their eyes.

It’s over, the Skull Club is thoroughly finished…

The reputation of being a medium-sized power was trivial; what they cared about wasn’t the reputation. It meant that if an organization’s strength plummeted, other groups would definitely kick them while they were down!

The Skull Club had offended many in the past, and they might take this chance to land a few kicks.

And there were those eyeing the resources of the Skull Club; they must be very interested in the current state of the Skull Club. After all, the news of Boss Huang selling more than two hundred people would definitely spread, and those were for crystal cores and inhibitors…

As for whether Nie Siyan was telling the truth or what role she played… no one considered that anymore. Since Boss Huang and the two others hadn’t shown up, they were definitely in trouble. Now, they needed to think not about the specifics but about what to do in the future…

Seeing the worried expressions on everyone’s faces, Nie Siyan spoke,

“Anyone who wishes to leave can go ahead and leave.”

Not a single person moved.

Everyone was no fool; even if the Skull Club was now greatly weakened, they still had a Level 2 Ability User at the helm. If they left now, they would genuinely have no protection whatsoever…

“Sister Nie, from now on, you are our new boss!”

The bald man by Nie Siyan suddenly exclaimed loudly.

The others also hurried to agree. If Nie Siyan left, it would truly mean the end of the Skull Club.

Seeing the expectant looks of the people, Nie Siyan glanced subtly at the upper floor again and then sighed,

“Since everyone trusts me so much, naturally, I cannot let you be disappointed. However, I plan to stop dealing in human trafficking in the future and change our name to distance ourselves from the old Skull Club…”

The name Skull Club was something Huang Heng came up with on a whim; it bore no specific meaning, only that he thought it sounded imposing.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Nie Siyan had agreed.

Although Nie Siyan’s desire to switch trades was unexpected, except for the bald man and a few others being puzzled, the rest didn’t mind, and some were even relieved. Those were the people with the lowest performance, and their shortcomings stemmed from either being incapable or psychologically opposed to the activities. Therefore, switching trades was actually a blessing for them.

Nie Siyan added,

“From now on, we’ll be known as the Firefly Club!”

Firefly was the name of this arcade.

“All hail the Club President!”

The bald man was quick-witted and shouted immediately. The others were a half-step slower but promptly followed suit.

Honestly, seeing these people respectfully call her the club president, Nie Siyan felt quite thrilled inside.

Power is something both men and women can find intoxicating.

But she was only distracted momentarily before snapping back to reality.

“If everyone is calling me the club president, then I definitely can’t neglect you all. I will look into our future development plans, hoping to ensure that everyone can have a better life. However, let me be clear: if anyone hinders our progress, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“Yes!”

Everyone braced themselves and promptly answered in affirmation.

“Alright, go downstairs. There shouldn’t be any tasks for the next couple of days, so everyone should rest well.”

“Yes!”

After sending everyone away, Nie Siyan glanced at the bald man and his companions before heading upstairs.

“Dismissed.”

“Yes!”

The bald man watched Nie Siyan’s retreating figure as she ascended the stairs, his face thoughtful.

He knew that the death of Boss Huang couldn’t be as simple as Nie Siyan made it out to be, and it likely had something to do with those few friends of hers! He hadn’t forgotten that those strangers were still upstairs.

But that wasn’t his concern; he just needed to steadfastly follow Nie Siyan. What he didn’t know was that he was lucky they were loyal enough. If it hadn’t been for Nie Siyan speaking up for them, they would probably be in prison by now…

Third floor.

After heading upstairs, the previously spirited Nie Siyan immediately knelt on one knee respectfully beside Wang Tao.

“Brother Wang, I’ve relayed your orders down below…”

“Hmm.”

Wang Tao nodded.

The renaming of Skull Club and making Nie Siyan the president were naturally Wang Tao’s ideas.

He wasn’t interested in the title of president himself, but since Nie Siyan was determined to follow him, he decided to support her and see where it leads.

Having a power to run errands and take care of matters could sometimes be quite convenient.

As for the blame for selling more than two hundred people into jail, it was naturally shifted to the deceased Huang Heng. In times of chaos, reputation becomes ever more important.

Since Huang Heng was dead, it was only right for him to contribute a little more. If there were any more blunders in the future, they’d all be blamed on him.

“Your next task is to buy Level 2 Crystal Cores on behalf of the Firefly Club from other powers…”
