Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere-Chapter 2136: Iceland

"Soul Eater?"

Upon hearing this name, everyone present was left dumbfounded. They widened their eyes, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Though they had anticipated that the target of this mission would be no ordinary individual, they hadn’t imagined that their adversary would have such a terrifying reputation.

"The strength of this Soul Eater is indeed fearsome. If you don’t know about him, you can inquire to understand more," the middle-aged man said slowly.

"I’ve heard of this Soul Eater. He’s a Celestial-ranked Ancient Martial Grandmaster, indeed incredibly powerful. But what can we do about it? We’ll have many strong participants in this mission, and I’m just here to join in the fun and earn a quick $50 million. Isn’t that easy money?" a young man said with a smile.

"This mission isn’t open to just anyone. The weakest participants must be Earth-ranked Ancient Martial Grandmasters. If you’re not a martial artist, you need to possess combat strength equivalent to an Earth-ranked Ancient Martial Grandmaster. Do you think you can handle it?" the middle-aged man retorted with a smirk.

Upon hearing this, all the participants were left dumbfounded. Their expressions revealed their speechlessness because they hadn’t expected the requirements to be so demanding.

"It seems I won’t be getting that money," the young man sighed softly.

"We definitely won’t get that money, but some people will," the middle-aged man replied coolly.

The middle-aged man’s words were accurate. Although the number of martial artists within the Risu wasn’t particularly high, many powerful individuals from around the world had gathered, all heading to Connor’s location. They couldn’t resist the temptation of the colossal bounties offered.

Moreover, there was a critical point to consider. The Risu’s high-ranking officials and Blood Shadow had concealed Connor’s identity as the Soul Eater from the participants. Many weren’t aware of his true strength; at most, they had some vague guesses.

Initially, the Risu’ high-ranking officials and Blood Shadow had revealed his identity to the public. However, the title of Soul Eater was too terrifying, causing people to hesitate, and no one dared to accept the mission.

Thus, they had to resort to concealing his identity to attract more participants from around the world.

At this moment, the Risu had gathered a vast assembly of powerful individuals, including martial artists and mercenaries, all waiting for Connor’s appearance.

Iceland, with its perpetual sub-zero temperatures, was not a suitable place for normal human habitation. It was desolate and devoid of residents.

The King of Shadows had instructed William to come to Iceland as a contingency plan. If their people couldn’t handle Connor, they could use the military’s explosives to obliterate him. Iceland’s remote location made it the ideal spot for such an operation. Using such large-scale, devastating weapons within the Risu’s mainland was out of the question.

Today was perhaps the liveliest day in Iceland’s history. Over ten thousand people had gathered there, including martial artists and mercenaries. Each group had its own motive, but they all had one shared goal: to await Connor’s arrival.

Connor, unaware of the growing assembly on Iceland, had just located William’s position after two hours of searching.

William had recently arrived at Iceland, and Connor was astonished by how quickly he had retreated. The distance between them was easily over a thousand kilometers, yet it took him less than two hours to cover it.

After resting for about half an hour in the command center, Connor continued his journey. However, he didn’t know that Iceland had already become a gathering place for multiple factions, all united by a single purpose: awaiting his arrival.

As he approached Iceland, the tension among the gathered individuals reached its peak. These people were confident that, with so many experts present, it would be easy to eliminate their target. It was just a matter of luck to claim the $10 billion bounty.

"Has the target appeared?"

"Not yet."

A few mercenary leaders were chatting as they relaxed. They could sense that everyone was in good spirits.

"By the way, do any of you know who our target is? Why are the Risu’s high-ranking officials making such a big fuss?" asked one of them, a black man carrying a heavy machine gun, in a carefree manner.

"I don’t have the specific information about the target. Based on what I know, it’s said to be just one person, and he’s after Blood Shadow’s William. The most important point is that this person has broken through all of Blood Shadow’s defenses, indicating that he’s not ordinary!" a red-haired young man replied.
