I'm not just human!

After all, this was the man who defied all opposition to join the family, and now he is practically a great contributor to the entire Augustus family!

Moreover, his judgment of people is truly accurate, which is admirable.

Without much effort, Yaxor squeezed next to Shafa. On a whim, he prepared to report the matter to Shafa immediately through his spiritual intuition.

Unexpectedly, just as his spiritual intuition touched Xia Fa's astral body—a necessary means to establish a channel for spiritual intuition communication—he suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted, his whole body jolted awake.

In an instant, Axor felt his spiritual intuition being destroyed by an overwhelming force, his brain feeling as if it were being torn apart, and he was on the verge of losing control.

It was only then that he realized he was indeed drunk and had actually tried to establish a spiritual intuitive communication with a divinely ordained holy spirit!

That's practically like looking directly at a god; it's practically suicide!

But just then, a rough, broad hand landed on his shoulder.

Yax felt a slight electric current jolt in his shoulder, followed by an indescribable coolness that spread from his shoulder, like the coolness of a mint candy, instantly reaching his entire body.

The signs of things getting out of control disappeared immediately, and not only that, the destroyed spiritual intuition was also quickly restored.

The next moment, in my spiritual intuition, I heard Xia Fa's slightly amused voice:

"Axo, what's wrong? You're not really drunk, are you?"

Just now, as Shafa was receiving a respectful toast from the members of the Augustus family, he suddenly felt as if a tiny mosquito had touched his astral body.

Before he could even react, the astral spirit automatically took defensive action and destroyed the tiny mosquito.

Then, Xiafa, using his spiritual intuition, realized it was Axor.

Seeing that Axo was about to lose control because he had inadvertently touched his astral body with his spiritual intuition, Shafa chose to mobilize a weak current and inject it into his body.

This was the first time Xia Fa had attempted to actively use the strange electric current at his tail since signing five hegemonic-level secret agreements.

That's right. After signing five overlord-level secret contracts, he was able to freely manipulate that strange electric current. However, he couldn't manipulate too much at once, otherwise it would easily deplete and take several days to recover.

Upon noticing that Axo's signs of losing control had quickly subsided, Shafa was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked what Axo wanted to report.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence that Axel conveyed through his spiritual intuition startled him!

"Shafa... Tyrean has been kidnapped! He's been kidnapped by the Thousand Faces Bandit Gang of the Lawless Zone, who are demanding a ransom of one million gold pounds!"

The voice in Axor's spiritual intuition was quite panicked and full of worry, completely different from his current drunken and happy appearance.

Xia Fa's eyes narrowed, and he immediately replied with his spiritual intuition:

"Let's sneak out and rescue Tyrene right now."

Tyrene was, after all, a cardinal of the Silver Church, possessing the status of a demigod, and was considered a figure of some importance in the city of Augustus.

Furthermore, the Thousand Faces Bandits wouldn't easily kill a hostage unless they hadn't received the money within three days. Therefore, Shafa made the same choice as Axo: to keep quiet about the matter and give Tyrene enough face.

Seeing Xia Fa with his arm around Axel's shoulder, both of them holding wine glasses, swaying as they walked toward the side door of the banquet hall,

The members of the Augustus family looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then decided not to disturb them.

It's estimated that... Lord Xiafa is going to discuss the details of what the affiliated families should do with Axo. This is of utmost importance, concerning the future of the Augustus family. They dare not even eavesdrop, let alone disturb them.

Soon, Xia Fa and Yaxo entered a billiard room through the side door of the banquet hall.

With a casual wave of his hand, Xia Fa slammed the door shut, and immediately the space and time in the entire billiard room fluctuated and became disordered.

Immediately, Xia Fa seemed to sober up, and immediately asked:

When did you receive the news?

By this time, Yaxo was almost sober, thanks, of course, to the refreshing sensation that Xiafa had just conveyed.

“Just now, however, there was a communication interval of about a few minutes between me and Tyrene’s Protoss crystal ball, which means that the bandits sent the message at least a few minutes ago.”

As he spoke, he handed the crystal ball to Xia Fa.

Xia Fa held the crystal ball and, with just a slight activation, immediately saw a bald man with a face full of scars, pressing his large face against the crystal ball and grinning maliciously.

"Remember this: I am the leader of the 'Thousand-Faced Bandit Gang' of the lawless land. Bring one million gold pounds to ransom this demigod old man. If you don't see the money within three days, I'll kill him!"

A phrase that Axo had just heard, exactly the same, rang out in the billiard room.

Axel said in a deep voice:

"Xia Fa, what do you think?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment and said:

"This sentence was used twice in two chapters, isn't that a bit too much padding..."

Axel asked, puzzled:

"what?"

Xia Fa waved his hand:

"It's nothing, let's go, we'll go rescue them now."

A billiards room is actually a billiards room. This form of entertainment has only become popular in the Kingdom of Augu in recent decades, and it is said to have originated from the Boyue Empire.

At this time, everyone was waiting in the banquet hall to toast Xia Fa, and even hoped to exchange a few words with him, so that they would have something to brag about to other nobles, saying that they had communicated with the Holy Spirit of Heaven. Therefore, naturally no one was playing billiards in the billiard room.

As soon as Shafa led Axel out of the billiard room, Marshal Gaius was already waiting at the door.

"What...what's wrong with you all?"

Marshal Gaius knew Xiafa's temperament; unless something major happened, he wouldn't hide away to discuss things like this. Therefore, in his efficient style, he went straight to the point and asked directly.

Seeing that no one dared to approach, Xia Fa whispered:

"Terran has been captured in the lawless zone, and we are heading there to rescue him."

Marshal Gaius was taken aback:

"Terehn? Who is that?"

Yax quickly added:

"That old man who used to come here often with me or Cardan, you should have met him before, patriarch, and..."

He leaned closer and whispered:

"...He is Chestnut's biological grandfather."

Marshal Gaius's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said in a deep voice:

"Save him! We must save him! Tyrene is my good friend, I can't bear to see him suffer. Shafa, you're going to the lawless zone, right? Perfect, I've made a lot of friends there, let's go!"

Xiafa: ...

You didn't even know Tyrene before!

Actually, it's normal that Marshal Gaius didn't recognize Terrean; Shafa understood this.

After all, one is a sovereign who has signed fifteen secret covenants and is a saint of the Church of Nature, while the other is just an old and decrepit demigod who is only a cardinal in the Church of the Silver. It would be strange if they knew each other.

However, Xia Fa hadn't expected Marshal Gaius to be so adaptable. It just goes to show that anyone who manages to rise to the Overlord rank on Caligia is definitely not simple...

Immediately, the three of them went back into the billiard room. As Marshal Gaius picked up two billiard balls, one blue and one white, and struck them hard, a wall on the side of the billiard room began to ripple like water, revealing a hidden room inside.

Xia Fa hadn't expected that such a mechanism was hidden in the Augustus family's palace, because this secret room contained an ultra-long-distance ritual teleportation array!

"The matter is urgent, so this little secret is not worth keeping. Let's teleport there now."

As Marshal Gaius spoke, he stepped onto the platform first and then began to inject immense extraordinary power into the ultra-long-distance teleportation array.

Xiafa and Axel followed closely inside. Seeing that Marshal Gaius seemed to need some time to activate the ritual array with his extraordinary power, Xiafa casually flicked his hand, sending out a ball of transparent energy.

The instant the sphere merged into the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, an extremely violent spatial fluctuation erupted.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery changed, and the three of them found themselves in a dark and damp underground cave.

Marshal Gaius was still a little dizzy. After shaking his head slightly, he looked at Xia Fa with considerable surprise.

"This level of condensed, extraordinary power, Xia Fa, you..."

Xia Fa smiled:

"This is nothing. By the way, exactly where are we in this lawless zone?"

To be honest, this was his first time in the lawless zone of Caligi. Although he was planning to go back after saving Tyrean, he was indeed unfamiliar with the place and its inhabitants.

Marshal Gaius replied without hesitation:

"We'll have to go out and take a look to find out. The ultra-long-distance teleportation array in the palace corresponds to more than a dozen underground caves in the Lawless and Unfettered Zone. I don't know which one it is exactly."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa's eyes flashed. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but Marshal Gaius is several times more exaggerated than that.

Without delay, the three of them immediately walked to the exit of the underground cave.

As soon as Xia Fa lifted the boulder blocking the cave entrance, he felt a rush of sand and dust rush in, accompanied by blinding sunlight.

"Alas!!!"

A somewhat frenzied cheer rang out from not far ahead, and then Xia Fa saw a modified off-road vehicle roaring across the vast yellow wasteland ahead.

The modified car had a row of spikes welded to its hood, serrated gun barrels all over its body, and exaggerated graffiti, making it a perfect blend of wildness and danger.

Oh, so it's a modified off-road vehicle...

Xia Faxin understood immediately and asked why he heard the engine sound.

Wait, a modified car?!

Suddenly, he realized something was extremely wrong.

This world only just invented the internal combustion engine, so why are they all making these off-road modified vehicles?

What is the situation with the "lawless and boundless zone"?

Xiafa casually pushed aside the gray-white boulder and arrived on the surface of the earth.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless wasteland filled with dust, with countless modified vehicles crisscrossing the wasteland. The people in the vehicles were using all sorts of secret abilities on each other, and some were even using revolvers or machine guns to fire at each other.

However, modified cars are no longer the most outrageous things on this wasteland.

Not far ahead, a group of mohawk-haired thugs in a shuttle-shaped modified car had just crashed into another modified car while cheering. Before they could even celebrate, a huge, rusty robotic foot, resembling a mountain peak, suddenly stomped down from the air, crushing the people and the car together.

Xia Fa looked up and saw a giant, brownish-iron robot, a thousand meters long. On the robot's chest, a young man who appeared to be a demigod was chewing gum and blowing bubbles, operating the robot.

"This should be the lawless killing wasteland, hmm... The Thousand Faces Bandit Gang's lair is in this place, but they've dug an underground cave, so it's a bit troublesome to find."

Marshal Gaius looked around for a while and then gave his answer.
