Chapter 131: Entering the Unnamed Town

Most of the houses in the center of the town still retained their former appearance. Although some small buildings built of wood and stone were covered with signs of repair, they still looked sturdy.

Cinthya walked straight towards a courtyard. Although it was called a courtyard, many of the walls were incomplete, and the door had long disappeared.

The few of them entered the courtyard and saw various simple huts along both sides of the courtyard wall. These wooden huts were adjacent to one another. Some even shared the same beam.

The light in the houses shone through the cracks in the crooked windows and the walls, scattering messily on the cracked stone path in the middle.

At the end of the pathway, Cinthya pushed a wooden door with both hands. With an ear-piercing sound from the hinges, the two rotten wooden doors were pushed open. Then, the few people sitting around a long table inside looked back. Seeing that Cinthya had returned, they all stood up, turned around, and said with their heads lowered, “Lord Cinthya.”

Cinthya casually made an exaggerated gesture.

“From now on, I’m no longer your Lord.”

The few people at the table looked at each other curiously.

At this moment, Cinthya pointed at Barker, who was beside her, and said, “He’s your Lord now. He has the final say in this abandoned town in the future.”

“Wait, I’m just a passerby. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

Cinthya had her arm across Barker’s shoulder. The crescent blade in her arm was almost at his neck now.

“This is the rule of the abandoned town. Not only is the abandoned town yours, so am I.”

Peter looked at Barker with great interest.

“Congratulations.”

Cinthya looked at Peter and looked him up and down.

“Why? Are you jealous?”

“Am I jealous?”

At this moment, Cinthya didn’t care about Peter’s words. In her opinion, Peter was just jealous. The reason for this jealousy was none other than to see someone else obtain what he couldn’t.

She simply turned to look at the few people at the table and gave them a fierce look. Then, she said gently, “When I was in charge of the abandoned town, didn’t I say that if anyone could defeat me one day, this abandoned town and I would belong to him?”

The few of them nodded in succession, but looked at each other blankly.

Cinthya looked at their dazed expressions and instantly lost her gentleness from before.

“Have your mouths been sewn shut?”

The few of them suddenly trembled as they spoke incoherently, “You did say that… who ever won the abandoned town… is the abandoned town…”

Cinthya smacked her forehead in annoyance.

“Get out of here!”

The few of them squeezed one another out of the door without further ado. When they were far away, they whispered, “Did she eat something wrong?”

Another person said, “I think so too. She probably ate something hallucinogenic.”

“I think so too.”

“Otherwise, why would she spout nonsense…”

Halfway through their discussion, Cinthya turned around and walked to the door. Then, she roared, “Get lost, all of you. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”

The few of them were so frightened by this roar that their shoulders shook. Then, they each returned to their respective huts in the courtyard.

Cinthya angrily closed the two doors and took a deep breath. Then, she turned around and said, “There are rooms upstairs. Besides the room facing the stairs on the south side, you can stay in whichever room you like.”

“Thanks,” said Barker. He was about to go up the stairs by the wall.

At this moment, Cinthya said again, “Stop right there. You have to accompany me tonight.”

Peter couldn’t help but laugh. How long had it been since this woman had let a man sleep with her? However, she was a little old. Only someone like Barker could attract her.

“Congratulations. It seems like you’ve sacrificed a lot to let us stay the night.”

However, Cinthya had a serious expression at this moment.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Who do you think I am?”

“I can allow you to stay overnight in this abandoned town. However, if you want to stay in this abandoned town, even if you only stay for one night, you have to explain your identity and origins clearly.”

Barker was in no hurry to agree. Instead, he recalled what he had seen and heard since entering this abandoned town.

Seeing that he did not answer, Cinthya said, “What’s wrong? Could it be that you have something to hide?”

“In that case, we’ll all stay. We’ll sit here and make everything clear,” said Barker as he walked to the long table and found a chair to sit in.

“Sure.”

Cinthya found a chair beside Barker and sat down beside him. Then, she said, “I know that you’re from New York Base City. It seems that you left the base city and came here to spy on the Holy City army. Am I right?”

Barker nodded slightly. “We’re indeed from the base city.”

Seeing that he only answered halfway, Cinthya guessed again and asked, “In that case, didn’t you come here to spy on me?”

“We might not be from the human camp from the base city. We’re not much different from the people in this town.”

Upon hearing this, Cinthya smiled in disbelief. “At the very least, you’re different from the people in this town. They’re here to take refuge, but you don’t seem like someone who will take refuge.”

“Can you tell?” Barker asked disapprovingly.

Cinthya said confidently, “At least I can tell that the people who are in trouble don’t have your confidence and pride.”

Her eyes were fixed on him as she spoke, clearly unwilling to leave him for even a moment.

Peter, who was beside her, chuckled again at this. “He’s confident and proud?”

Cinthya’s face instantly darkened. Then, she cast a sideways glance at Peter and threatened, “Don’t think that my tolerance has no limit. If you dare to be rude again, I’ll kill you.”

When she said this, the other three girls almost laughed out loud. They had never seen anyone talk to the God of War Peter like this.

Meanwhile, Donna looked at Cinthya indignantly.

“You?”

“Stop arguing.”

Barker knew that it was not yet time for these two women to lose their rationality. They would simply have an argument. Thus, he decided to give up on the idea of them bickering.

At that moment, Peter stood up and pulled Donna aside. “Let’s go upstairs.”

He only cared about protecting Donna now.

Then, without waiting for Donna to answer, he pulled her up the stairs in the corner.

At this moment, Barker said to Cinthya, “I saw that you used a dagger that only assassins have, but you know alchemy too.”

Cinthya placed the daggers in her hands on the table and said, “That’s because my father was a professional assassin. Therefore, when I was born, according to the tradition of assassins, he created this pair of crescent blades for me.”

Barker asked again, “Then who did you learn alchemy from?”

Cinthya looked at him and asked him in silence.

“I saw the power fluctuation on your body when you activated your genetic power. It’s much stronger than the other Genetic Warriors I’ve seen. What grade of Genetic Warrior are you?”

“I’m a B-Grade Genetic Warrior. What grade did the highest-leveled Genetic Warrior you’ve encountered reach?”

“B-Grade?”
