Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Stopping and Resolving

Seeing Coco Sullivan’s tense little face, Julian Shaw’s smile grew even more smug. He stepped forward and said in a flippant tone, "Coco, don’t be so tense. Come on, call me Shaw. Who knows, if you do, my heart might soften, and I might even look after you in this dangerous hellhole."

The blond-haired man behind him chimed in with a sleazy tone, "Julian, with her meddlesome brother gone, isn’t she all yours to do with as you please? This little girl has such delicate skin..."

Hearing these foul words, Coco Sullivan’s fiery temper instantly flared.

She already couldn’t stand Julian Shaw and his gang; now, she was burning with fury.

"Shut your filthy mouth!"

Her eyes sharpened. Wasting no more words, she flicked her finger. With a soft "PUFF," the cigarette butt dangling from Julian Shaw’s mouth, as if doused in gasoline, suddenly erupted into a fist-sized, blazing Fireball!

This gave Julian Shaw quite a start.

The Fireball didn’t dissipate. Instead, it remained condensed, as if controlled by an invisible hand. Carrying a scorching blast of heat, it shot precisely toward the foul-mouthed Blondie!

But Blondie was clearly no slouch. He reacted in a flash. An earthy yellow glow instantly flared to life around him as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, barely managing to block the Fireball’s direct impact.

Still, the explosive force and intense heat sent him staggering backward, the clothes on his arms scorched. He was left looking quite pathetic.

"You damn girl! You dare to make a move on me!" Blondie sputtered, both shocked and enraged.

Julian Shaw remained where he stood. Far from stopping the fight, he cradled his mechanical arm, a flicker of amused excitement in his one eye, as if he were enjoying the show.

His attitude of tacit approval—even encouragement—was the spark that lit the fuse.

Julian Shaw had other lackeys with him. Seeing their boss give no order to stop, several of them began to clamor and surround Coco Sullivan, some already drawing their weapons.

Coco Sullivan wasn’t one to swallow her anger. Now she was genuinely furious. Seeing the crowd of opponents and their malicious intent, why would she care that they were inside the Shelter?

She let out a sharp cry. Her spiritual power surged, and an even more powerful Flame Ability erupted in an instant!

BOOM!

Crimson Magic Flames radiated out from her in a circular shock wave, though she took care not to aim at the surrounding stalls.

But the terrifying heat and wild Energy fluctuations instantly forced back Julian Shaw’s approaching lackeys, set fire to nearby clutter, and created localized chaos and a towering pillar of light!

And it was this uncontrolled burst of Flame that created the sudden, conspicuous scene Seraphina Sullivan had witnessed from the trading plaza in the distance.

The conflict escalated in an instant.

...

When Seraphina Sullivan saw the distant glow—the familiar light of a Flame bearing a Magic trait—she knew instantly that Coco Sullivan was in trouble.

Since she had already decided to partner with Dustin Sullivan, she couldn’t, in good conscience, stand by and watch his sister face danger.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she spun around. Weaving through the noisy crowd like an agile fish, she raced toward the source of the firelight.

Elsewhere, the sudden commotion also drew the attention of Drake Hayes, Jason Young, and their men.

Drake Hayes’s brow furrowed, his tone laced with displeasure. "What’s going on? Did some of those Genetic Warriors from outside start a fight? They’ve got a death wish, daring to cause trouble in the Shelter!"

Jason Young closed his eyes, sensing for a moment before opening them again. "The Energy signature is highly active. It’s an Ability fluctuation from the Elemental System. Captain, we need to go take a look. We can’t let this escalate."
