808: Chapter 808 Preparations

Caesar followed Gis toward the Magic Swordsman Guild.

"Laurende! There's something important!" Gis shouted loudly as soon as he entered the Magic Swordsman Guild.

He didn't seem to show much "respect" for this Master Rank Senior.

"What happened now, Gis? You didn't get into more trouble, did you?" Laurende asked Gis as he slowly walked out of a room.

"There's an urgent matter regarding a certain cult," Gis said to Laurende.

!!! Laurende's eyes instantly widened, and he immediately told Gis, "Come inside and talk."

Subsequently, Gis led Caesar into Laurende's meeting room.

"Gis, what did you just say? A cult? Is it about the Qianshen Cult?" Laurende asked somewhat anxiously. If there were traces of the Qianshen Cult in Black Stone City... the sky would truly be falling!

How could tiny Black Stone City possibly handle that!?

Laurende only wanted to spend his old age in peace... If the Qianshen Cult appeared at this juncture, everything would blow up!

Wherever the Qianshen Cult appeared, there was bound to be trouble.

Black Stone City... Laurende didn't dare imagine how tiny Black Stone City could resist.

He had to call for help! Yes, call for help! He must call for help!

"Yes, it's about the Qianshen Cult," Gis nodded and said.

Hearing Gis's confirmation, Laurende's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. He sighed: "Alright, let's hear it..."

"Let Caesar tell it; it's his business," Gis said, looking at Caesar beside him.

"It's like this..." Caesar nodded and began to explain that the Qianshen Cult might be related to a man named Kureso, and that the Abyss might also be connected to him.

"Oh?!" Laurende's spirit was instantly lifted. So that's how it was!

That's good, that's good... Black Stone City is safe!

So it was that kind of matter! He had thought traces of the Qianshen Cult had been discovered near Black Stone City! Laurende breathed a sigh of relief.

"So that's what it is! Kureso, right... Fine! I'll have people investigate immediately and send a report to the headquarters," Laurende nodded in response, choosing to believe Caesar's words directly.

"Kureso... that name sounds a bit familiar..." Gis said to Laurende.

"Now that you mention it... I also feel a bit..." Laurende pondered for a moment. He indeed felt it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"He should be someone from a long time ago," Caesar said from the side. "Most likely... not a very famous person, nor a super Genius, but... he must have done something."

Through some information revealed by the 'World Background,' Caesar gave the two of them a subtle hint.

Although what he said explicitly was basically the same as what he was saying now.

He hadn't gained much information from the World Background either.

"Alright, I understand. I'll investigate in that direction," Laurende nodded solemnly, taking note of the direction Caesar mentioned.

"Do you need me to help?" Gis asked Laurende.

"How could you help? It's good enough if you don't get in the way! Go play!" Laurende said, looking at Gis with a face full of disdain.

"..." Gis fell silent for a moment. "Hey, hey, hey! I'm not that bad!"

Laurende said no more, simply waving his hand repeatedly to drive Gis away.

"Hmph! Then busy yourself! Caesar, let's go! Let's go drink!" Gis huffed slightly like a spoiled child and pulled Caesar toward the exit.

Caesar shook his head slightly with a helpless smile. The relationship between this old man and the younger one was truly good!

Friends across generations, they didn't treat each other like strangers, and there wasn't much of a sense of hierarchy.

Gis pulled Caesar out of the Magic Swordsman Guild.

"Alright, there's nothing left for us to do. Let Laurende and the higher-ups deal with the headache!" Gis shrugged and said to Caesar.

"Mm." Caesar nodded slightly. He was an outsider after all; finding this information still relied on the locals.

Currently, everything seemed "calm and tranquil." The World-Destroying Devil King... that title definitely didn't sound like someone easy to deal with.

The current ease was definitely the calm before the storm!

If the opponent wanted to destroy the world, they were definitely planning something big.

Before that happened, he wanted to make the people of this world more cautious and better prepared.

That way, more effective forces could be preserved when the time came, allowing for a better counterattack.

Caesar followed Gis to the tavern to drink and took a glance at his panel while he was at it.

Hm, his source points had unknowingly increased by more than 130,000.

Although he still couldn't afford some of the better talents, he could already buy many items from the members' shops in the group.

Keep saving! It hadn't been long, and he already had over 100,000.

As time went on, he would surely earn more and more!

Caesar's heart was filled with hope.

In the following days, Caesar stayed in Black Stone City, eating, drinking, and having fun with Gis every day. Aside from Cultivating, he just waited for the aftermath.

Life was quite leisurely.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Clarissa was in the Marvel World.

Recently, the Akatsuki Organization had gone quiet since the last incident.

However, the eyes of various major powers were still fixed on them, waiting for the Akatsuki Organization to reappear.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Tony's MK armor had successfully reached the fifth generation. The MK5 had become a briefcase; when needed, he could simply step on it to suit up!

At the same time, various long-range support functions were added, such as automated combat support MK mechs and replacement parts for various sections, all of which featured tracking, automatic, and modular functions.

He also upgraded his Ark Reactor to the second generation, which had better performance, stronger power, was more eco-friendly, and had a higher utilization rate!

The market value of Stark Energy was still rising!

There were also enhancements and upgrades in weapons and other areas. Additionally, Tony had successfully begun to Cultivate, and his Physical Body was now close to the limits of human strength.

In just half a month, by relying on some exchanged resources, he had forcibly piled up his strength.

As for Peter and Gwen, they had more time. Aside from acting as assistants, they spent most of their time Cultivating.

Their progress was faster than Tony's, and the same went for Polaris, Lorna.

As for Dr. Connors and Dr. Yinsen, they had been conducting research. The two of them were currently improving, optimizing, and upgrading based on the Lizard serum, aiming to create an Advanced super serum!

However, this wasn't something that could be achieved in the short term. Clarissa didn't mind and let them be.

Clarissa sat on the sofa in the large living room of the villa, watching a news broadcast on the giant hanging screen.

It showed footage of a massive green giant being pursued and fought by the military.

"This is..." Lorna, beside her, looked at the massive green giant on the screen with curiosity.

"Hulk. This is the Hulk," Clarissa said to Lorna.

"Hulk? What Hulk?" Peter and Gwen had just walked in from outside. Hearing Clarissa's words, they walked over curiously and asked.
