Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Connor Webb’s Ulterior Motive, Making the Kill List

Connor Webb had set his sights on Seraphina Sullivan.

However, he didn’t make an immediate move on her in front of everyone.

Connor Webb knew that, at the very least, he had to keep up appearances and follow the Central Base’s rules.

Besides, his prey was already in the "cage."

He had all the time and means to slowly plot his next move.

He shot Seraphina Sullivan a smile he considered charming, but which was, in reality, utterly nauseating.

Then, with his "Harem," he swaggered through the inspection and disappeared into the depths of the underground area’s entrance.

Seraphina Sullivan watched Connor Webb’s retreating figure, her eyes turning to ice. But she, too, refrained from acting immediately.

’Acting now would only tip him off, putting me at a disadvantage and forcing me to reveal my hand too early.’

’Dealing with someone who has such a bizarre Ability and a way to cheat death requires a much more meticulous plan. Or... the absolute certainty of a one-hit kill.’

"Looks like that guy is more than just a little crooked," Sean Chandler said, walking up to Seraphina Sullivan.

His gaze followed the direction where Connor Webb had vanished, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

He had sensed the man’s undisguised lust and malice directed at Seraphina. 𝐟𝒓ℯⅇ𝚠𝑒𝙗𝙣𝙤𝔳𝙚𝐥.𝑐𝖔𝐦

Flora Sullivan also came over. Although she didn’t have a deep understanding of complex human emotions, she was extremely sensitive to malice.

She glanced at Sean Chandler and asked directly, "Are you going to take care of him, or should I?"

Sean Chandler shrugged and looked at Seraphina Sullivan. "Ask your boss."

Justin Brooks and Wesley Moore walked over just then, completely oblivious to the murderous intent hidden in the brief exchange of glances that had just occurred.

Justin Brooks looked with concern at Paul Payne on the ground, who was out of danger and his wounds healed but still weak, and asked, "Comrade Sullivan, how is he?"

"He’ll live. He lost a lot of blood, so he’ll need some time to recover," Seraphina Sullivan replied calmly.

At this moment, Paul Payne also slowly woke up. He blinked blankly, feeling that his chest was no longer in excruciating pain and could even feel a strong heartbeat. He murmured, "I... I’m not dead?"

"Isn’t that obvious?" Flora Sullivan said in her unique, flat tone. "If my boss hadn’t saved you, you’d be stone cold by now."

Paul Payne froze, then looked toward Seraphina Sullivan. He struggled to sit up but was gently pressed back down by her. "Don’t move. You need to rest." His eyes filled with gratitude as he rasped, "Thank you... Thank you for saving me."

But that gratitude was quickly replaced by a wave of hatred. He remembered everything that had just happened, and his eyes turned crimson again. "Wait! Where’s Connor Webb?! That goddamn animal! He killed my sister and my niece! I have to find him! I’m going to kill him!!"

With that, he ignored his weakness and tried to force himself to his feet.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Laura Lowell walked over, her expression still grim, and she sternly stopped Paul Payne.

"If you go after him now, you’re just throwing another life away! If Miss Sullivan hadn’t saved you just now, you’d already be dead! And..."

She gritted her teeth and didn’t continue, clearly thinking of that frustrating order from above.

She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and said to Seraphina Sullivan, Justin Brooks, and the others, "This isn’t the place to talk. Follow me, let’s go to the temporary settlement first. As for the plan to handle those Four Seasons Deer, we should be hearing back from the higher-ups soon."
