Chapter 128 A Glimmer of Hope
At the Doomblade headquarters, Suk and the others idly waited for the results from above.
But before the results were available, Antona called Suk into the virtual universe network again.
"My lady." Suk lowered his head instinctively when he saw Antona, as if to "type with both hands to prove his innocence."
Antona didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile, "Suke, the matter of the Crimson Dragon World is now over, and it has little to do with you anymore. The rewards I applied for for you from above have also been approved."
"Oh?" Suk raised his head at the opportune moment, revealing an expectant expression.
At this moment, the intelligent virtual assistant notified you that there was an email from the world's number one bank.
When Suk opened his bank account, he found that there were "100 billion cosmic coins" in his account balance.
"My lord, this is—" Suk couldn't help but ask.
"This is your reward," Antona said with a smile. In fact, Antona had already taken the real reward, and then she paid for it herself to reward Suk and the others.
In her opinion, that was enough. After all, Suk and the others didn't give the treasure to her; instead, they offered it to the Doomsday Blade Alliance.
Antona also had to work hard to secure the benefits for herself.
"Thank you, sir." Suk looked extremely grateful.
If this person in front of me knew that he had secretly stolen a lot of treasures in the Crimson Dragon World, and that any one of them was worth no less than the 100 billion cosmic coins she had taken out, she would probably turn on me immediately.
However, handing over the dark red treasure chest was enough to appease the Alliance and Antona, so Suk was too lazy to bring out any more treasures to deal with Antona.
"By the way, sir, what about the last batch of treasures—" Suk couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, Antona found Suk somewhat agreeable, and since he was someone her superior's boss had personally recruited, she was more tolerant and smiled, saying, "You really are very curious. But it's okay to tell you, it's not a secret anyway."
"The final agreement on the ownership of the treasure has been reached. It is estimated that we and the Jialan Royal Court will split it equally. The treasure chest in the Poison Dragon Abyss should be salvaged soon," An Dongna said.
Poison Dragon Abyss.
The Jialan Imperial Court and the Seven Alliance each sent people to retrieve the treasure chests floating on the Black Pool, while many surviving adventurers watched from afar at the edge of the Poison Dragon Abyss.
Suk, Eloi, and Saki were among them.
"And Antona only gave 100 billion cosmic coins? How stingy." Saki's standards had long been raised too high, and he looked down on Antona's "stinginess".
Eloi laughed and said, "100 billion universe coins is not a small amount. It's worth 5 inhabited planets. It's a considerable sum for a domain lord. That Antona is showing some sincerity. Otherwise, she could have just given us something to get rid of us. We would have had no choice."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the dark red, ancient treasure chest was retrieved and delivered from the core area of both camps. It was heavily guarded, and Suk and his "outsiders" couldn't get close at all, nor did they know what was happening inside.
A group of representatives from the Seven Alliance, led by Yamaha, and elites from the Jialan Imperial Court, led by the girl with the crescent moon mark, gathered at the dark red treasure chest they had just acquired.
Instead of opening the treasure chest immediately, they sent it outside first, allowing the truly important figures to proceed.
Otherwise, if it were to actually open in the Crimson Dragon World, it would likely immediately trigger a fierce battle and bring even more complications.
Neither the Jialan Royal Court nor the Seven Alliance wanted to see this happen.
Subsequently, both factions announced that they could leave.
Instantly, the large number of adventurers in the camp were in an uproar.
This upheaval in the Crimson Dragon World is both an opportunity and a disaster for them.
During the two-month-long battle for the treasure, countless people died, the majority of whom were free adventurers.
And now, they can finally leave.
"Suke, we can go back now." Zuo Mu said happily to Suke after hearing the cheers outside. "Don't be careless," Suke said. "Even if we get outside, there are still many powerful people guarding the exit. We still need to be careful."
While the various factions obtained most of the treasure chests, some were also obtained by free adventurers who secretly hid them.
All parties were well aware of this, but prioritizing the overall situation, no one targeted these adventurers.
But things are not so certain now. Even if some forces promise not to deal with these adventurers, the strong ones they have cultivated may not keep their word.
For them, if they could find treasure on some adventurer, they would be set for life.
It should be known that any treasure in the Crimson Dragon World is worth as much as a Domain Lord's wealth, enough to drive a cosmic-level being crazy and make even Domain Lords envious.
Faced with sufficient benefits, many people don't care about saving face.
Of course, the various forces had made promises beforehand, and with so many powerful figures gathered, it's difficult to make a move. So, these adventurers are unlikely to get into trouble on Crimson Dragon Star, but that may change once the storm passes.
"Then what do we do?" Zuo Mu frowned upon hearing Su Ke's explanation.
Suk said, "So, I've already contacted Lady Antona. We'll leave together with the Doomsday Blade's forces. Once we're in space, we'll separate and travel through the Dark Universe, which will be much safer."
Saki nodded. "That's the only way then."
Suk looked at Eloi beside him and smiled, "After we get out, we can use Eloi's bank account to sell it through consignment, then we won't have to worry about anything."
All the treasures Suk obtained this time were entrusted to Eloi, with Bubble managing them. Given their marital relationship, they were practically inseparable, and Bubble wouldn't try to steal his money like she used to. Even if she stole a lot, Eloi would still just hand it over, so she didn't bother wasting her energy.
One by one, forces broke camp, forming teams and setting off towards the world entrance. This time, Suk and his group didn't use their spaceships; instead, they obediently mingled with the main force of the Doomsday Blade and embarked on their return journey together.
After flying for about eight days, we finally arrived at the final exit—the exit leading to Crimson Dragon Star! This exit could only accommodate a few people side by side.
The adventurers lined up and orderly transformed into streaks of light, flying continuously outwards.
At the very front was the team escorting the treasure chest, which was the focus of everyone's attention.
As for them, they were ranked in the bottom third.
While waiting, as a large number of adventurers flew in one by one, it was finally Suk's turn with his group of ten.
"Finally out." Suk sighed and flew in with the moving crowd ahead.
On Crimson Dragon Star, in the passage beneath the waterfall, people are constantly emerging from the black iron gate.
One after another, adventurers flew out.
Suk looked up and could see a group of universe-level powerhouses floating in mid-air, with the occasional domain lord among them. These powerhouses looked indifferently at the group of adventurers who had returned by luck, each with their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, Suk and his group mingled with the Doomsday Blade's party and gathered with other adventurers in one area.
A bald woman with a scar on her face, wearing blue armor, flew in front of Suk and his group and said coldly, "I am Shanlan Dao, a subordinate of Lady Andonna. You are Suk and his group, right? Lady Andonna has arranged for me to escort you away. Let's go."
"Sir, we still need to go to the Space Mercenary Alliance to submit our assessment mission," Saki couldn't help but say.
