Chapter 394

Everyone was shocked to hear that Thomas had killed the Twin Demons.

As soon as the news was spread, various forces worldwide sent their men to check out where thekilling occurred. The speed at which these individuals were dispatched was comparable to that of aworld champion in the 100-meter dash. Unlike the fighters of Droycore, the men sent were not martialartists. However, they were very familiar with guns.

After thoroughly examining the scene, they concluded that the Twin Demons were killed by a greatmarksman. They were sure the hidden marksman had been forced into making a move as there wereno other options. Moreover, they reasoned that the marksman had seized the chance provided by thechaos to kill the Demons in one shot.

However, the ability to hide among the shadows of the night was part of being a top-tier sniper, right?

Previously, the notion that the King of Marksmen was hiding in Irieson had been mere speculation.However, with the series of shootings in the city, they had become increasingly convinced of hispresence.

Soon after, they promptly reported back to their head offices, too afraid to dilly-dally. The orders theyreceived in return were the same — search for the King of Marksmen! No matter what, he had to befound.

These forces detested Thomas. One might say their hatred for him was carved into their bones, fillingthem with the urge to drain his blood and cut him into pieces.

In the years the King of Marksmen had worked for Droycore, he had killed many of their men. Backthen, he had a powerful organization backing him up. That was why they were too afraid to anger him.However, now that he had silently resigned due to a failed mission, it was their time for vengeance.

Karma had no deadline.

At 7.00PM, Thomas drove from Serenity Clouds Villa to Olivia’s office. On the way there, his phonestarted ringing.

“Great news, Thomas!” Rochka said over the phone. It was clear from his voice that he was highlyexcited.

Thomas was confused. What could excite him that much? “What news, Mr. Nett?”

“Miles Auction House has received an application to auction off an Essence Fruit. It’ll be arrivingtomorrow at noon,” Rochka replied.

“Essence Fruit?” Thomas frowned. It was the first time he had ever heard of it. “What does it do?”

“Y-You don’t know?” Rochka was shocked. How could he not know of the fruit when he is a martialartist? No way! When he perceived that Thomas wasn’t joking when he said those words, he patientlyexplained, “It’s a mystical fruit that all martial artists yearn to get their hands on. No one knows where itcomes from, and it doesn’t exist on the market. It’s so popular because eating it would increase yourinternal energy.”

Screech!

Thomas’ grip tightened on the steering wheel as he abruptly slammed the brakes, bringing the vehicleto a screeching halt. The idea of increasing his internal energy, which would ultimately make himstronger, struck a chord within him. His greatest desire was to become stronger, especially consideringthe challenges he was currently facing, including the formidable Crimson Moon. Even without thepresence of the Flynns and the Wilkersons, the battles were taking a toll on him. He would have died tothe Twin Demons without his miraculous sniping skills. Taking a deep breath to compose himself, he

attempted to rein in the overwhelming excitement coursing through his veins. “How much can itincrease?”

“It’s hard to say, but eating it means you can increase your power level by at least two tiers. Some evensay you can increase by four or five tiers!”

“Really?” Thomas’ eyes lit up with a sharp glint. Four or five tears meant he could jump from the Peakof Profound Tier One to Profound Tier Six just by eating that fruit?

“Of course! Why would I lie to you? That’s why I said it’s great news, but—” Rochka hesitated.

“What is it?”

“I’ve repeatedly requested the seller to sell it to me instead of auctioning it off, but he refused. After all,he can only earn the full value of the fruit if he auctioned it off. That’s why you must join the auction ifyou want the fruit. It’s going to be noon tomorrow at Miles Auction House. As for who the seller is, Ican’t tell you. I still operate an auction house. If I break the rule for you, no one will come to us again.”

“I understand.” Thomas would never force anyone into a tough spot. Anyway, he was not interested inknowing who the seller was. All he needed to do was to win tomorrow’s auction for the fruit. “How muchdo you think it would fetch?” This was his most significant concern. He did not have any money on himright now. The money he spent on buying the Century Lotus came from Olivia. He could not embarrasshimself any further by asking her for more money.

If a man constantly asked a woman for money, he would be called a leech.

“He doesn’t want money. He wants to be cured! He’s seeking treatment from all the great families inIrieson. Anyone who could cure the patient would gain the fruit.” There was a sense of heaviness inRochka’s voice. After all, he did not know that Thomas was also a skilled doctor. His research only told

him that Thomas used to know Quincy, the most outstanding doctor in Droycore. He thought thatThomas could get his hands on the Essence Fruit if he asked Quincy for help, but when Rochka askedQuincy about the case, Quincy said he could not treat the patient.

However, he knew it would not stop Thomas from getting what he wanted. Even if Quincy could donothing, Thomas could ask the Travis Family for help. The Travis Family would surely agree to helpwith how close they were.

Meanwhile, a grin of sheer delight spread across Thomas’ face. It felt as if the universe itself wasaligning in his favor. After enduring years of hardships and trials, this remarkable opportunity waspresented to him. The Essence Fruit appeared to be a gift tailor-made for him. His confidence soaredas he firmly believed in his exceptional skills as a doctor. He held the unwavering belief that there wasno illness in the world that he couldn’t cure. “I’ll be at the auction tomorrow.”

“You can ask the Travis Family for help. If they say yes—”

Before Rochka could finish speaking, Thomas interrupted him, saying, “It’s fine. I can do it myself.”

“Huh? Are you that confident?”

“Of course!” Thomas chuckled before saying in a confident and boastful tone. “Mr. Nett, please keepthe fruit safe for me because it’s already mine.” After saying these words, he hung up.

On the other end of the call, Rochka stared at his phone in bewilderment, a mixture of confusion andcuriosity flickering in his eyes. Thomas’ statement about being able to cure the patient without theTravis Family’s assistance left Rochka with questions. Is he also a doctor? Even if he is a doctor, he isexceptionally overconfident. If word spread about the Essence Fruit’s existence, ancient monsters fromall corners of the world would undoubtedly flock to obtain it. The competition would be fierce!
