Chapter 168 167: Insufficient Funds



A few minutes after Anon left, Oscar gritted his teeth and with a heavy grunt, he stood while holding his right hand which had two broken fingers. He glanced at his fingers then with cold eyes, he pressed the power button of his Watch of the Underworld.

"I want to buy every info there is on Anon… Everything."

With eyes that contained anger, coldness and fear, Oscar spoke with his mouth near the silver watch.

"That bastard."

Oscar muttered with gritted teeth when he remembered the indifferent expression of Anon. But as he remembered Anon's warning and extremely black and indifferent eyes, he trembled slightly.

[INFORMATION ON THE INDIVIDUAL NAMED ANON IS CLASSIFIED]

Hearing the android like voice from his Watch of the Underworld, Oscar came out from his fear like state and with a sneer and disdain in his eyes, he spoke:

"He blocked his information? What a fool… Did he think there's anything like classified information or hidden information in the Underworld… Nothing escapes the Underworld fool."

A chuckle escaped Oscar's lips and with a smirk, he spoke once again:

"I'll pay to unlock his 'classified' information… I want to buy everything."

'Once I know who you truly are and everything about you, I'll definitely make my plan on how to destroy you… You dare destroy two of my fingers.'

A glint appeared in Oscar's eyes and with an expectant light in his eyes, he waited for his expected response from his Watch of the Underworld.

But…

[REQUEST DENIED]

"Huh?... Why?"

A baffled expression appeared on Oscar's face as he heard those words. He could not fathom the reason for his request to be denied.

In the Underworld, there was no such thing as hidden information, everything could be bought with value points. The more value points you have, the higher your value to the Underworld.

And in terms of Value Points, although he was definitely not among the richest of the entire Underworld, he was definitely among the richest in the Outer Area, if not the richest person in the Outer area of the Underworld.

And from his inspection, he knew Anon was just a tier 1 individual, a very powerful and scary tier 1 individual.

In fact whenever he thinks about Anon's tier and absurd strength, a chill crept up his spine.

Why?

Because he was a tier 2 being, a tier 2 human. He knew he was definitely not among the strongest tier 2 individuals.

In fact, he knew he was a weak tier 2 individual, but despite that, he could defeat some tier 2 individuals and he could definitely defeat almost every tier 1 individual he came across. So for Anon, a tier 1 individual to break his fingers so easily… scared him the more.

Anon's strength was already frightening enough for Oscar, and if Oscar had to face the reality that Anon, a tier 1 individual, had more value points than him…

He would much rather not believe that Anon was richer than him, but once again… reality was a…

[IT HAS BEEN DETECTED THAT YOU HAVE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR YOUR REQUEST TO BE ACCEPTED]

"…"

"Fuck."

Oscar cursed with gritted teeth and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He looked at his Watch of the Underworld, and the glint in his eyes intensified.

"Should I give out the information that there's a new tier 1 that's richer than I am?"

Oscar mumbled then his eyes moved to his fingers, and a few seconds later, he looked at the vial of Neon on his desk.

"Ah fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck it!"

Curses spewed out from Oscar's lips and with an exhausted sigh, he fell backwards, laying flat on the floor.

"I fucking regret this."

(Meanwhile Anon)

After leaving Oscar behind in his office, Anon had to go through two rooms to get to the door that led to the exit.

As Anon walked to the door, he had a calm expression despite the hidden forces in the rooms he passed by. Although he wasn't a hundred percent sure if his new subordinate would decide to tell his people to attack him, he at least knew that if his subordinate gave out the signal to attack him, he was definitely going to end him and his entire business.

But luckily, Oscar made the right choice.

Anon stood before the door that led outside the bungalow he was in, and to his surprise and confusion, he had a premonition.

His head tilted slightly as he wondered why he felt the way he was currently feeling. His brows furrowed slightly, and with a slight turn of his neck, he looked to his right, where he could see a white hooded figure hiding behind a curtain.

His frown deepened, and with a soft internal sigh, he removed his hands from his pockets then he opened the door.

He looked around with a calm expression and with his hands outside of his pockets, he walked out of the building.

His eyes kept on looking around with calm but vigilant eyes as he walked. He kept on walking for at least 100m, but… nothing happened to him nor did he see anything that made him to feel vigilant.

'Was I just been paranoid?'

Squeak Squeak

Just as Anon had that thought, squeaking noises reached his ears and with a slight furrow of his brows, he looked down.

At his feet was a slightly large rat which had a substance in it's mouth. A frown formed on Anon's face as he observed the rat which was chewing on the substance in it's mouth.

He then looked away from the rat, then he looked around. As he looked around, he realized something which he previously didn't notice due to his vigilance towards the source of his premonition.

The street which previously had people… was now devoid of people.

Anon's eyes squinted and just as it did, he heard another squeak, and with constricted pupils, he looked at the rat and without hesitation, he kicked it.

But…

BOOM!
