“Hehehe, with your skill, how would they catch us? We would be the one playing with them like they’re clueless kids.”
Fatty Zhu ignored his partner’s words, they have been doing this for quite some time now, but them being wanted criminals had already been going on for years.
Even if that was the case, the fact that no one was still able to capture them shows how useful their skill was against other Awakeneds.
“Just don’t forget to use your skill. You always forget about it. We’re lucky that we have been staying low for months now and they were starting to forget about us. If not, we would probably be caught by now.”
Fatty Zhu added, recalling how careless his partner was, always forgetting about using his skill.
“Yeah yeah, I get it.”
His partner nonchalantly replied, scrolling on his phone. He was the one responsible for finding clients and partners around the world.
The phone he uses was identical to Max’s, but he knows a lot more about the use of it than Max. He could easily find prohibited goods, knowledgable on where they are hiding.
He also joined multiple groups with people in the same business as them; they share and receive relevant information every day.
“Oh! Tomorrow is the…?”
Fatty Zhu seemed to remember something, but his partner cut him off, knowing what he was going to say.
“Yes, it is tomorrow. Did you forget it already?”
“Hehe, it’s been fun in this city, we had a lot of catch. I forgot about it. Where are we going next?”
His partner showed a composed expression, and furiously tapped on his phone then showed the screen to Fatty Zhu.
“There had been a lot of things happening in the neighboring city, Zhonghai City next to this. Yesterday, they said there were a lot of fights that happened between different gangs in there.”
“And those gangs now had a lot of those new Awakeneds. From the information that I got, a lot of our group members were already on their way there.”
“Do you mean?”
Fatty Zhu questionably looked at his partner, confirming whether they had the same idea.
“Yes. Should we go there too? Since there’s a lot of new Awakeneds, those would be some good prey. But of course, you should think about it. We could still go to other cities anyway.”
“Heheh, of course, we will go. This Fatty Zhu isn’t scared of kids fighting. Let’s show them how they should respect their seniors.”
Fatty Zhu laughed in excitement. In his entire life, never did he look down on other Awakeneds as he knows how dangerous and cruel some of them are.
However, these new Awakeneds that popped up from nowhere seemed to be destroying the order, starting chaos wherever they go.
A lot of older Awakeneds were getting impatient at these brainless fools doing whatever they want, and one of them was Fatty Zhu.
This time he would show them how ignorant they are about the world. Fatty Zhu would have fun playing with them and putting them in the place where they belong.
His partner turned to give him a long stare and nodded after. Their next course of action is now finalized.
Above them, in the vents where air flows to the basement, a pair of eyes were staring at them.
After Max followed the two Awakeneds in, he immediately went to find a way to get in without using the front door.
Since it was bright inside the room, he would instantly get caught when he goes through the front.
He was only there to find some answers, not to fight meaninglessly, so he needed to find somewhere to hide.
Only after going around in circles a few times did Max find something, the entrance of the vent, and having no choice, he crawled in.
However, Max encountered another problem when he was crawling his way in. The direction of the vents seemed to be going down and down.
Max was certain that he already passed the room he planned to go into, but he continued, changing his plan to go in somewhere below the room and go up after.
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Max hurriedly crawled. When Max finally reached the other end, he carefully peeked where he currently is and saw the unconscious man that the two Awakeneds captured were being strapped on the table.
Figuring that these two should be the boss of the two Awakeneds, he waited to see what they were going to do next.
Now he has a better understanding of the situation. Those two Awakeneds that he followed were only the ones who do the capturing then they pass it on to these guys.
These two people would now be his new target since he already figured out what the last two Awakeneds were doing.
Having the ability to do business with two Awakeneds, it was safe to assume that these people weren’t ordinary.
Checking them with his Status Checker showed nothing, but at this point, that doesn’t prove anything. Max could only wait and see what they planned to do with the man.
After that, Max kept quiet and listened in to their conversation while still being cautious that someone might pop out behind him where the pitch dark tunnel was.
As he listened, Max heard some useful information about Zhonghai City. It seems that the underground world of it was infested with new Awakeneds and more Awakeneds were flowing in the city to join in the fun.
Since Max didn’t know about their strengths, he would have to pass this time and get a bit stronger before going to that dangerous place.
The two people in the room suddenly stood up. Max readied himself to move just in case.
…
“Now that we’ve decided let’s finish this and prepare. We’ll move when the sun rises.”
Fatty Zhu stood up along with his partner. They made their way to the table where the man laid.
“That early?”
“We still have to find another base in there.”
Fatty Zhu stretched his arms as he went to the other side of the table.
“I hope we’ll get one this time.”
His partner only watched on the other side, waiting to see whether they would be successful this time or not.
Once Fatty Zhu was ready, he smiled and lifted one of his arms. As the muscles on every part of his body contracted, he elbowed the strapped man directly on his neck.
Sounds of bones breaking reached their ears but their facial expressions never changed, seemingly used to it.
The unconscious man will never wake up again. Magically, after a few moments, a blue glow started forming on his chest.
Slowly, it formed the shape of a cube, glowing in a blue hue. Seeing the familiar glow, Fatty Zhu’s smile became bigger while his partner’s lips curled up. It was a success.
Grabbing the glowing cube on his hands, Fatty Zhu opened his mouth and sucked in like he wanted to eat it.
The glowing cube flew towards his mouth, but before it reached and got inside his mouth, everything froze.

Chapter 125 – Tracking
Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter
As he was trailing the two of them from the shadows where he has plenty of room to run and hide, Max gradually thought that these Awakeneds were smarter than he expected.
A few minutes had passed, and they were still on the move, Max, who knows a lot about the city, estimated their final destination.
From the direction they were going, it seems like they planned to move from one side of the city to the other.
Max initially thought that these two Awakeneds were simple, but from how they acted, it showed that they were quite experienced, particularly in escaping.
The unconscious man was slumped on the shoulder of the big-framed Awakened with a thick coat covering him while on the other side of his shoulder hanged his little partner.
When they reached a certain distance away from the area where they took the man, they immediately went to a nearby street where their truck was parked.
Not wasting any time, they drove away as if nothing happened. Even now, as Max was trailing them, he could see their faces focused on getting their job done.
Based on his observations, they always avoided big roads, preferring to stay on the small streets where it was dark and roads that not many people use.
While the bigger Awakened was driving, his partner was on the lookout, giving Max a harder time following them.
Getting closer and closer to the other side of the city, Max slowed down and maintained a considerable distance between them, expecting them to meet another Awakened sometime soon.
This area is the location of factories and warehouses, so not a lot of people hang around this place.
Max watched as they slowed down and took a sharp turn, getting inside an inconspicuous building at the corner of the district.
He stopped near the building as he checked his surroundings while making sure there was no one on his tracks.
Following them in after confirming that it was only a parking space, Max saw their truck on one side without anyone in it.
As there was only one room with the lights on, it was evident where they were currently at.
…
“It’s a man this time?”
The fat guy said after looking at the unconscious man on the floor. Standing beside him were Bear and Fox, waiting for their payment.
Hearing what the fat guy just said, Bear responded in an uncertain tone,
“Yesterday you said that a man would be fine, right?”
Bear became worried when he heard his question. As far as he knows, women would be more expensive and more desired for prostitution. He also knows that the man they captured is not an attractive one.
He only did it because the fat guy said it’s fine to bring a man next time with no other requirements.
“Yes. This is fine.”
“And about your payment…”
Bear and Fox intently stared at the fat guy, waiting for his next words. They wondered whether there was a problem or they won’t be paid as much as they got when they brought a woman.
“Are you fine being paid on your phone?”
Bear sighed in relief and nodded as he was urged by his partner to pull out their only phone to receive the payment.
Once the transaction was done, the payment instantly reached their phone. Seeing the long string of numbers, Fox became ecstatic.
“Hah, we thought a man wouldn’t be as popular as a woman in the prostitution industry, looks like we were wrong.”
Bear with a broad smile, jokingly told the guy. When the fat guy heard him, one of his eyebrows twitched but it quickly replaced by a fake lewd smile as he said,
“Hehehe! Of course, of course! Different people have different tastes, you know, and our business is only getting started!”
“That’s right! Sometimes we could hear their voices when we’re on our way out. They must be having fun!”
Fox nodded, looking like he understands what the fatty said. Bear was the last one who spoke, ending their conversation.
“Brother Zhu, we’re going to go now! The night is still young, and we will have enough time to celebrate this day’s success!”
“Wait, before you go let’s add our contacts so I could easily reach you whenever I need something.”
Bear and Fox’s eyes brightened, being in contact with the Fatty Zhu meant that they would have a long period of cooperation which means more money for them, hurriedly nodding, they added each other on their phones.
As they got out on their truck, Fox couldn’t contain his excitement, hurrying Bear to drive.
“Let’s go to the bar we last went to!”
“No, let’s find another one. The last time we have to spend a long time to convince them to let you in because of how small you are. Do you want to wait that long again?”
“Hmm, so how about that high-class club? We are going there next time, right? How about now?”
“I don’t think they will let you in.”
“Hide me inside your coat and get a private room! We have a lot of money so they won’t chase us out!”
Bear nodded and turned their truck to another direction, going back to the center of the city.
Fatty Zhu followed them out to make sure they left before closing the gate to the building. He then went back to the room and locked the door.
Feeling safe with no eyes watching him, Fatty Zhu brought the unconscious man in the inner room where a stairs down was located.
When he reached the basement, he went directly in the only door ahead.
Inside the room, a strong stench of blood drifted through the air. The floor had traces of blood, especially near the table with a lot of straps attached to it.
At the corner of the room was a bloody cage with rusted steel chains sticking on the wall.
“Hehehe, they thought we were buying these people to become a prostitute. Can you believe that?”
Fatty Zhu walked in with the unconscious man, talking to the man waiting for him in the room.
On the couch by the wall, a man in a white shirt was busy scrolling on his phone. He looked up to see Fatty Zhu with a man on his arms.
“They finished it already? They sure work fast.”
“So what’s the plan for this guy?”
Fatty strapped the man securely on the table as he turned to his partner, waiting for his answer.
“We have a new order. Let’s check him first then we’ll send him off to the different buyers. They paid a lot for this, after all.”
Not bothering to look at the Fatty, the man replied while looking at his phone, communication with those buyers.
“How much did would we get with this?”
Fatty Zhu patted the strapped man then went his way to sit beside his partner. After calculating the amount they would get for this guy, his partner spoke,
“Almost double the amount yesterday.”
“Seriously? This is getting desirable by the day.”
From his laughing expression, Fatty Zhu seemed to be pleased with what he heard.
“Yeah, and it will increase our chances of being caught.”

The shadows were still quite far away, but as it kept hopping on roofs after roofs, it got closer and closer.
Max watched as they stopped on the nearby roof, looking down at the streets around them, seemingly waiting for someone.
Upon closer inspection, the shadows were two people. From how they effortlessly jumped from roof to roofs, Max figured that they should be Awakeneds.
Only Awakeneds would be able to do what they just did. Right now, two Awakeneds were in front of him!
This isn’t something Max always get to see. Thinking about it now, this was the first time he sighted two Awakeneds that he has no connection with.
But if Max were to guess, he would say that they aren’t that strong. From their faces and how they move, those two don’t look formidable in any way.
Recalling a problem that he had previously, Max focused on the two Awakeneds to try something.
Slowly, his eyebrows furrowed. This was something he would prefer not to see. Not seeing the familiar interface, Max confirmed it.
He couldn’t see their Status. Max tried it multiple times, and his skill was showing nothing.
This was truly problematic. It seems like he would have to consider being more cautious in the future.
Watching them from a distance, Max waited on their next move, wanting to see if they were the kidnappers from the reports.
The first time he read about the report, Max immediately knew there was something suspicious happening.
One kidnapping incident won’t be too questionable since it might just be some people exacting revenge on their enemy, but if it were repeating day after day, there definitely is something going on.
Of course, there is also the possibility that they aren’t the same people. Still, Max decided to follow them for the night to find out more about them.
There were currently two of them in his vision. Max didn’t exclude the idea of them having more helpers somewhere.
The first Awakened had a broad build, towering over the small guy next to him. When standing side by side, the small Awakened would only reach his waist.
Both of them stayed unmoving on one side of the roof like they were communicating. Max had no idea what they’re up to; he could only wait for them to move.
…
“Bear, did you see our target yet?”
“Why are you asking me? You should be the one looking! You have better eyesight than me!”
The guy with a massive frame nicknamed Bear responded. His eyes were not good enough to see faces clearly while they were on the roof; he is only good with brawls.
Looking at the areas of the empty street, the small-framed Awakened with a nickname Fox turned back to where Bear was waiting,
“Who should I even look for? The same as before?”
“What? You don’t even know that?”
“I didn’t hear anything. I was busy counting our money.”
Bear stared at him for a second before going deep in thought, recalling the words of their buyer last night.
“He said that we could catch anyone we find. Usually, we only take women because you know women would be more expensive, but last night, he said we should also take men, and they will pay the same amount!”
“Can you believe that? This will make our job easier! Who would have thought they would also take men as prostitutes!”
Fox had shining eyes as he smiled in excitement, showing his shiny white teeth,
“Did he really say that? They will take men and turn them into prostitutes?”
“Yes! And they will pay the same price! How great is that! It seems that they are really skilled. Every time they take the woman from us and bring her to a room, we could hear screams inside. They must be good at handling them.”
“Then, I’ll find us a good target; just wait here and be ready.”
Bear nodded as he stared at Fox, walking to the edge of the roof to find their next prey. This was how they spend their night every day.
They only have to take one person each night, and they would get paid a large amount of money, enough for them to live a few weeks in luxury with good food and liquors.
Bear could still remember the days when they had to risk getting caught stealing a tiny sum of money. At that time, they had to move to different places to lower the risk of being identified.
Their skills aren’t that strong either. Bear could only get a small boost in strength and speed that isn’t that effective against real Awakeneds they had encountered before.
Fox only has better eyesight, twice as clearer and sharper as ordinary people but he could only use it once a day at a maximum of an hour.
To avoid people recognizing them, they often change styles, sometimes with Fox wearing little girl’s clothes.
They also gave themselves a nickname based on their abilities to prevent people from knowing their identities.
Unbeknownst to them, their lame nicknames were starting to be heard by local forces from the number of thefts they have done.
Some authorities also know about them but chose to turn a blind eye, labeling them as harmless. If only the authorities know that they have already changed professions.
One day when they reached this city, after doing their daily rounds of stealing, they were approached by someone telling them that if both of them help with their tasks, they would be paid an enormous amount of money.
Now, they became used to it, taking one person from the streets in the most impoverished side of the city each day.
Since their victims were alone and there weren’t many people at night roaming around this area, they were able to get away with it.
As for what happens to those people they caught, they heard screams on the farthest rooms so it must be some prostitution happening.
Bear and Fox never bothered asking because they couldn’t care less, getting their hands on that much money with such an easy job.
“I got one! Come quick!”
On the vision of the small-framed Awakened was a man wearing a jacket, sneakily looking from side to side, feeling a chill run down his spine without any reason.
Once he saw there was nothing on his surroundings, the man tried to walk faster, slightly afraid of the silent, eerie atmosphere around him.
When he stepped forward, something fell on top of him, and not being able to react, he instantly got knocked out.
“We got him!”
Bear with Fox holding on to his neck, jumped down on top of the man, hitting his head and Bear trapping him in his thick arms.
Not wanting anyone to see them, Bear with Fox holding tightly on him and their victim unconscious on his arms, ran to a dark corner at the side of the street, away from any of the street lights around them.
The street had been robbed repeatedly that its condition became worse, without even a single security camera placed anywhere.
A dark shadow hurriedly traced their movements from the roofs, trailing them wherever they turned.
Max watched the whole thing happen and started following them, easily keeping up with their speed with his Level 20 Peak Rank 1 body.
