Seeing that no one was around, Leonard Churchill leaped into the air. His high agility and strength allowed him to use the rocks outside the bell tower to propel himself upwards, and he quickly reached the top.

His field of view expanded immediately.

Looking down at the entire town, Churchill memorized the basic layout of the buildings.

Observing his surroundings was a habit he had developed whenever he arrived in a new place.

His eyes scanned the street, and quickly discovered some of his fellow hunters. The hunter’s outfits had been modified by the rules of the Alternate Dimension, thus Non-Player Characters could not notice anything unusual. However, Churchill, himself a hunter, could identify them at a glance.

The hunters who had entered earlier were now scouring the town for wealth.

According to the information he had, most of the items inside the town houses were Plot Items and couldn’t be taken out.

However, some rare items could indeed be taken out of the Alternate Dimension.contemporary romance

The hunters were frenziedly gathering these items.

Calling them “demon hunters,” they seemed more like a group of bandits who had barged in.

Anyway, the hunters were treating this place like a looting party and were set to stay for three days.

Much of the town’s population was made up of ordinary people, incapable of resisting.

Not only were they plundering for wealth, but also taking advantage of women. The hunters from Sinless City were a group of individuals unrestrained by laws or morals, and in the Alternate Dimension, they were even more unchecked. All forms of action used to vent their desires were being played out.

Attractive women could be found everywhere, and Townsend Town was no exception.

From the bell tower, Churchill watched as many of the hunters took advantage of the female house owners while robbing them.

Seeing this, he smirked to himself, “Human nature …”

This kind of situation was unfolding all around.

Churchill’s gaze swept the town.

At that moment, he saw the five men from the Black Wolf Group walk straight into the only tavern in town, an amused smile flashed across his face.

These were the Black Wolf Group’s managerial staff.

They were only five.

But Churchill knew there must be seven of them.

The group of hunters he had assembled in the Windmill Tavern in Sinless City were fifty in total, but not all entered the town.

Churchill distinctly remembered every hunter’s attire.

So, apart from those five “managers”, two new outfits he hadn’t seen before were among the forty-five hunters who had entered this time.

If they were not part of a group, most likely they were Black Wolf Group’s “undercover” hunters.

Why were the Black Wolf Group members posing as hunters to infiltrate them? It was clear that they were engaging in some underhand dealings which wouldn’t suit the image of the Black Wolf Group.

Churchill had noticed when entering earlier.

But he didn’t mind.

There were people stirring things up, and it was to his liking.

These guys probably knew how to trigger some hidden storylines.

Furthermore, Churchill felt that for such a lucrative Alternate Dimension, it was unlike Sinless City’s simple folk to merely collect admission fees.

One would expect some deceit and potential scamming in such an uninhabited wilderness.

But the dimension limited a visitor’s tier, so even the strongest among these managers had only reached the First Tier.

Churchill believed the risk was within a controllable range.

What he needed to do now was to gather information as quickly as possible, to ensure that he was prepared before these guys could stir things up.

Just as Churchill had predicted:

The five Black Wolf Group managers entered the tavern and without hesitation, made their way to the second floor.

After closing the door, there were already two members dressed as hunters waiting for them.

These were the two strangers whose attire Churchill had noted earlier.

The leader said, “The team leader advised letting the others clear out the werewolves on the first and second floors first. Tonight, we’ll use the Wolfsbane to lure out that Catastrophe-level Werewolf in the third layer of the mine. Let the Loose Practitioners deal with it. Once they’re engaged, we’ll go and check out the fourth floor situation…”

“But Captain, do we really need to be in such a hurry? Shouldn’t we go ourselves?” one asked.

“Not to rush, but we need to. The team leader predicted that due to the frequent low-difficulty entries, the dimension is likely about to collapse. If we don’t attempt the high-difficulty challenges soon, we may never find such high-quality Werewolf Materials again. We must take this risk,” he responded.

“You don’t know how strong the effects of the two Silver Werewolf Materials that were refined into the [Spade 4-Werewolf] were. Hao, the acting leader of our fourth group, fused with that Silver Profession Card. As soon as he fused, his combat power after Transformation approached that of the longstanding First Tier Curse Card Master in our group. Also, Werewolf Materials are generally much higher than typical Demon Beasts. Overall, the Werewolf card’s increase and other Beast Walkers cards of the same quality have a combat power gap of at least 50%…”

“That… That powerful? It’s a pity that silver material is hard to come by.”

“Don’t worry too much about it. This time we are just exploring the plot, not hunting demons. Besides, the team leader borrowed an artifact exclusive to Assassin from Thunder Tiger Group. When we go to the fourth layer our safety is guaranteed. If we are careful, there shouldn’t be a big problem. I estimate that once we get down to the fourth layer, our clearance evaluation will be very high, and the probability of silver material appearing is also very high.”

“But if the Catastrophe-level werewolf on the third layer of the mine is lured out, I’m afraid not many of us will survive this time. If news gets out, it might harm our group’s reputation.”

“Survive? The team leader’s intention is for none of them, except us, to remain.”

“Otherwise, do you think those previous two batches just had an accident and triggered the Catastrophe-level difficulty, and suffered such heavy casualties? Haha, as long as everyone is dead, no one can leak the news from here. Besides, the higher the death rate, the higher our clearance rating will be..”
