Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Interrogation! The Reason for Everything

Seraphina Sullivan found Keith Griffith’s long tirade—ostensibly sincere but malicious at its core—rather amusing.

She took a step forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Sean Chandler. Her gaze swept over the crowd as her voice rang out, clear enough for everyone to hear:

"Help? And who are you to us? Why should we help you?"

Seraphina’s tone was level, yet it carried a detachment that permitted no argument.

"For the sake of argument, Players are people, not Gods. Can’t you see that we’re freezing right now, enduring the cold just like everyone else? You want him to brave the blizzard to find food and supplies for you? Has it never occurred to you that he could die out there too?"

Someone in the crowd immediately shot back defiantly, "But... but he’s an officially registered Player! He has a responsibility..."

"Responsibility?"

Seraphina cut the person off.

Her voice dripped with sarcasm. "Says who? We just registered our information with the authorities. That doesn’t mean we joined an official organization, and it *certainly* doesn’t mean we’re obligated to serve you! So, as for your demands, we refuse."

Sean Chandler chimed in decisively, "I only registered. I didn’t join any official group."

Their clear refusal was like cold water hitting a pan of hot oil, and the crowd’s anger instantly ignited.

"So you’re just going to stand by and watch us die?!"

"How could we have people as cold-blooded as you in our community!"

"Get out! You’re not welcome in this community!"

It was unclear who shouted "Get out" first.

The hysterical crowd was instantly incited, and they all began to chant, their voices growing louder and more vicious.

Seraphina watched the absurd scene unfold, taking special care not to miss the flash of triumph in Keith Griffith’s eyes.

She let out a silent, helpless sigh.

’Is this what humanity has become since the apocalypse began on Azure Star?’

’They hadn’t even reached the point of true, utter desperation yet.’

’The temperature outside was still dropping, but it wasn’t impossible to get around.’

’The real danger was the ceaseless blizzard.’

’They were unwilling to risk their own lives to find a means of survival, yet they shamelessly demanded someone else go through hell and high water for them.’

Seraphina knew perfectly well that the root of the problem wasn’t just human selfishness, but also the deliberate instigation by a certain someone.

Just as the crowd’s fury reached a fever pitch, their accusations nearly overwhelming the entire hallway.

"BAM!!!"

A deep, resounding CRACK suddenly echoed through the hall!

Everyone jumped at the sound, and the jeering came to an abrupt halt.

The crowd stared in horror, only to see Sean Chandler slowly pulling his fist back from the Wall beside him.

On the hard surface of the Wall was a deep, clear indentation, webbed with cracks!

Bits of plaster and debris crumbled to the floor.

Sean Chandler raised his icy eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping across the terrified faces before him. His voice wasn’t loud, but it was filled with a chilling menace:

"Anyone dares say another word... and I can’t guarantee my next punch won’t be buried in their chest."

The blatant threat, combined with the shocking fist print on the Wall, instantly cowed everyone into silence.

The same people who had been screaming for them to "get out" a moment ago now didn’t even dare to breathe.

Keith Griffith’s face went pale. He struggled to maintain his composure as he said to Seraphina, "Mi-Miss Sullivan, Mr. Chandler is... using violence to threaten his neighbors. Aren’t you going to stop him?"

At his words, Seraphina simply tilted her head slightly.
