Chapter 253 – Detailed Objectives

However, Harmony didn’t think the same way.

A man with tattooed arms brandished a sharp knife, held up the unconscious little girl in one hand, and shouted from a distance, “Hey Summoner over there, listen up! Do you see the knife in my hand? If you dare to come any closer, I’ll immediately make a hole in this girl’s neck!”

Moli Hua’s summoned beasts all stopped in their tracks. She was stunned!

At this moment, Sister Bai arrived beside Moli Hua on her Frost Iron Wolf and, upon hearing this, immediately roared, “Don’t hurt her!”

Hearing this, the man with the tattooed arm felt greatly relieved and laughed triumphantly, pointing at the Iron-Winged Swift Bird, Fire-Tailed Lion, and Long-Clawed Jumping Rat, saying, “Tell these Summoned Beasts to retreat quickly, or you’ll face the consequences!”

Moli Hua bit her lower lip, remaining silent, while the Summoned Beasts did not retreat as the other party had demanded.

Sister Bai tightly gripped the Wolf’s fur, her mind a blank: “What should we do?”

Seeing that the Summoned Beasts did not retreat, the man with the tattooed arm gave a cruel, cold laugh and plunged his knife directly into the arm of the young girl Bai Xingzhi, instantly dyeing her clothes red with blood. He roared, “Retreat, damn you!”

Sister Bai’s tears could no longer be held back, and she said with a hoarse voice, “We’ll retreat! We’ll retreat! Don’t hurt her!”

Then, she turned to Moli Hua, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, “Little Li, can we retreat first?”

Moli Hua said with difficulty, “But if we retreat…”

Moli Hua didn’t finish her sentence, but Sister Bai understood everything in her heart!

However, she couldn’t bear to watch her child and her family be harmed before her eyes.

Seeing Moli Hua hesitate, the man with the tattooed arm raised his knife again, about to stab her once more.

Sister Bai immediately cried out in pain, “No! We’ll retreat!”

Then she looked at Moli Hua pleadingly, “Please…”

This single plea made the inexperienced young girl Moli Hua lose her composure.

She could only control the Summoned Beasts to retreat, constantly asking herself, “What should I do?”

Yet, despite her power, she was helpless in this situation.

The man with the tattooed arm laughed triumphantly and urged his Broad-Backed Crawler to slowly walk away, disappearing into the darkness.

The two looked helplessly at the human traffickers who had disappeared into the distance.

Sister Bai could no longer hold back, collapsing to the ground and covering her head as she wept!

Moli Hua’s eyes were filled with hatred and deep helplessness: “Can anyone tell me what I should do?”

She suddenly realized that immense power was sometimes useless!

…

Su Hao, now transformed into “Steel Armor King,” and Yashan were rapidly chasing after the two human traffickers, closing in quickly.

Su Hao said, “Yashan, I’ll leave that summoned beast to you. I’ll deal with the two human traffickers! Be sure to protect Xing Feng and Xing Zhi’s safety.”

Yashan nodded, “Don’t worry, Boss Wei!”

Another Harmony with Boss Wei to fight, thinking about it makes me a little excited.

Su Hao attached the ‘Light Absorption’ Harmony and ‘Air Piercing’ Rune to himself, turning completely black and blending into the darkness to reduce his presence.

Su Hao stopped talking, extended his hands, and conjured one long and one short knife. He tested the feel and quickly got back into the groove!

By now, his knife skills were almost perfected, like an instinct. He could slash wherever he wanted, however he wanted, without any hesitation.

Two dark shadows lunged forward at extreme speed, using Silent Movement.

However, after approaching within ten meters, the broad-backed crawling beast under the tattooed man seemed to sense something and began to tremble uneasily.

The tattooed man sensed the anomaly, “Huh?”

Ten meters was practically nothing to Su Hao.

The dark figures slid rapidly through the tattooed man’s and the thin man’s formation. One long and one short Steel Armor blades flashed and vanished.

“Pfft!”

The tattooed man and his companion were confused. They only felt their vision suddenly rise high, followed by a dizzying spin.

“Thump!”

A dull thud sounded from their heads. Their last Thought-power was: ‘Fell on the ground? What happened?’

Then darkness descended, their eyelids grew heavier, and finally, they plunged into endless darkness.

After landing, Su Hao looked back.

He saw that Yashan had already beheaded the broad-backed crawling beast with a single strike.

On the beast’s back were two bodies, two unconscious children. They lost their balance and were thrown forward.

Steel Armor spread out from Su Hao’s feet, and two giant hands emerged to catch the two children.

“Done!” Su Hao sheathed his blades and slowly approached the two children to check on them.

He immediately noticed the knife wound on Bai Xing Zhi’s arm, which was still bleeding. He quickly used a Healing Rune to help Bai Xing Zhi stop bleeding and recover.

Yashan walked over and picked up Bai Xing Zhi to examine him. Finding no other injuries besides the arm wound, he was greatly relieved.

He then went to Bai Xing Feng’s side and picked him up for examination.

Su Hao exited the [Steel Armor King] state and said, “Let’s go!”

Yashan’s Steel Armor faded, and he held two children, one on each side. Steel Armor spread out under his feet, and several corpses slowly sank into the ground.

Yashan had done a lot of disposing of bodies and evidence in the past two years; he was very skilled at it.

A moment later, following behind Su Hao, they slowly walked towards the city center.

As they walked, Yashan said, “Boss Wei, this is the first time I’ve realized how damned these human traffickers are! To think that before, on the streets of Silin City, there were Wandering children everywhere, and no one cared. Now, they’ve become a commodity here.”

Su Hao replied, “It’s mainly because there’s demand. Even in Silin City, children are occasionally abducted, but there are too many Wandering children, so perhaps they couldn’t be taken away, and you just didn’t notice!”

Yashan asked in surprise, “What’s the point of kidnapping children?”

Su Hao said, “I’ve never kidnapped a child, how would I know? But generally, it’s for adoption, training them as army assassins, or using them for experiments, and so on. However, based on the information I’ve gathered, Resistors most likely abduct young children for experiments.”

Yashan glanced at the two three-to-four-year-old children he was holding, his voice becoming somewhat low, “Boss Wei, I’m angry!”

Su Hao calmly asked, “And so?”

Yashan wouldn’t hide his thoughts from Su Hao. He frankly said, “I want to wipe out this ‘Summoned Beasts Resistance Association’ in one go!”

Su Hao nodded, “Of course, I fully support that, but wiping them out in one go won’t be easy. The World Official Organization ‘Summoner Association’ has wanted to eliminate these Resistors for a long time, but for years, they haven’t had any success, and the Resistors remain rampant.”

Yashan’s ‘clever’ brain worked rapidly, and he soon realized the difficulty. He said with a troubled expression, “Then what should I do?”

Su Hao said, “Yashan, you know your intelligence is very high now, right? In the future, you need to learn to think for yourself. When faced with a problem, don’t rush to ask what to do. Instead, break down the problem first, and then seek solutions one by one. If you ask a broad question like this, who can give you an answer?”

Yashan began to doubt if his [Seer] brain was fake and asked helplessly, “Boss Wei, how should I break down the problem?”

When cultivating someone, the most essential quality is patience.

Su Hao patiently explained, “Let me use ‘wiping out the Summoned Beasts Resistance Association’ as an example. This is the ultimate goal. Let’s analyze the problems involved. First, where are the Resistors? Second, why has the Summoner Association been unable to eliminate the Resistors for so many years? Third, what is their organizational structure? Fourth, how can one identify Resistors? Fifth, what is the ultimate goal of the Resistors? Sixth, do the Resistors have any special techniques or abilities that could lead to your downfall…”

Then Su Hao summarized, “If you don’t figure these things out, you won’t find them! Even if you find them, you might not be able to defeat them! And even if you can defeat them, you might not be able to kill them all! Moreover, if you don’t know their goal, you might kill all the ‘Resistors,’ only for another group of ‘Terminators’ to appear, and then you’ll have more to kill!”

Yashan stammered, “This… I just wanted to kill all these people, and it’s actually that complicated!”

In Yashan’s view, if he wanted to do something, he would just do it. Anyone who disagreed would be beaten down, and then he would continue doing it!

It was the same as what he had done in the previous world, simple and crude, yet effective!

But now, he realized things were not as simple as he had imagined.

So Yashan asked the question in his heart, “Boss Wei, why is it like this?”

Su Hao chuckled, “None of us are perfect by nature. Yet, we pursue perfection, and this is the root of suffering!”

Then he patted Yashan’s shoulder and said, “You can think about this for a while. What are your achievable goals? Break down the potential problems you might encounter, and then try to seek solutions one by one. This is your elementary school homework!”

Yashan’s eyes suddenly widened, flashing with brilliant light: “Home… homework? Boss Wei’s homework!!!”

“100% on the mandatory exam!”
