Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Reaching an Agreement

Seeing Trevor Tanner and Coco Sullivan bickering, Julian Shaw felt Dustin Sullivan’s gaze on him again.

He immediately threw up his hands in a gesture of innocence. "Hey, you can’t blame me for this. Your sister started it."

Dustin Sullivan’s voice was devoid of warmth. "I didn’t want to cause any more trouble here. But based on the ’good deeds’ you’ve done in the past, I have no choice but to be wary of you and those around you."

Julian Shaw immediately clutched his chest, putting on a deeply wounded, tearful expression.

It looked completely out of place with his mechanical arm and eyepatch.

"Oh, I’m so hurt! Dustin, you really think of me that way? I only accidentally screwed you over a few times... Is it really worth holding a grudge this long?"

Dustin Sullivan couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on him, simply averting his gaze and giving him the back of his head.

Seraphina Sullivan observed silently from the side, an odd feeling stirring in her heart again. "..."

’Hmm... these two as well. One’s a cold-faced interrogator, the other’s a drama queen proclaiming his innocence.’

’Isn’t the atmosphere of this conversation a little... strange?’

’It’s like they’re acting out some drama about bickering rivals fated to meet.’

Seraphina Sullivan couldn’t help but cover her mouth. ’Have I been reading too many of a certain type of novel? Why do I feel the urge to ship everyone I see?’

Walking at the very front, Drake Hayes’s ear was cocked, listening to the group behind him completely ignore the tense atmosphere and even start engaging in all sorts of strange interactions. His mouth twitched violently, and a vein seemed to throb on his forehead.

Drake Hayes was left speechless. ’Hey! You people really don’t take our guard team seriously, do you?! We’re on official business right now, not providing a stage for your arguments and performances!’

Of course, Drake Hayes also breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear these people weren’t mortal enemies, so a fight was unlikely. They wouldn’t be acting this way otherwise.

Soon, the group left the outermost area.

They arrived at the core area of the Fireseed Shelter.

Drake Hayes led them to a place resembling a small conference room. He dismissed his subordinates, keeping only Jason Young by his side.

He stopped beating around the bush. His gaze first fell on Dustin Sullivan, who seemed to be the core of the group, and he got straight to the point.

"Since you all know each other, I’ll skip the pleasantries. We, the Fireseed Shelter, are about to face an unprecedented crisis, one that concerns the very survival of the entire Shelter. Outside, you must have already noticed the recent anomalies—the various nocturnal monsters have become more frenzied, and the frequency and intensity of their attacks have increased dramatically."

He paused, then said in a grave tone, "The ’Black Night Tide’ is coming. And based on all the signs, the scale and terror of this tide will far exceed any previous record!"

Hearing this, Dustin Sullivan, Seraphina Sullivan, and the others didn’t show much surprise on their faces, merely nodding grimly.

They had already learned this information through various channels.

Julian Shaw stood to the side. He had already learned the details from Drake Hayes and was now observing the reactions of Dustin Sullivan, Seraphina Sullivan, and the others. Seeing their lack of surprise, he thought to himself, ’As expected of Dustin Sullivan, his information network is as good as ever.’ He had always been wary of Dustin’s Abilities and background.

However, when his gaze inadvertently swept over Seraphina Sullivan, an inexplicable sense of alarm rose in his heart.

He had sensed during their earlier fight that there was more to Seraphina Sullivan than met the eye.

He subconsciously touched an inconspicuous black bracelet on his wrist. It was a precious early-warning-type item of his.

Right now, the bracelet was emitting an extremely faint, cold sensation that only he could perceive, warning him to be careful of the whip-wielding woman and the sturdy, honest-looking man beside her.

’Oh?’ A flicker of genuine surprise and inquiry flashed in Julian Shaw’s single eye.

’Even the "Exploration Bracelet" is reacting to her? This woman... is no simple matter.’
