Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Robbery? An Inside Job Conjecture?

An ear-piercing scream, laced with terror, shot up from downstairs.

The sound cut through the downpour, drilling clearly into Seraphina Sullivan’s ears.

It was a sound full of desperation, definitely not an ordinary argument or accident.

Seraphina Sullivan froze, exchanging a glance with Sean Chandler in his little black cat form.

They were both completely baffled.

In an instant, they both rushed to the window, following the direction of the bloodcurdling scream to look down.

The shriek was so horrifying that it instantly drew the attention of many other neighbors, all of them trapped in their homes, who poked their heads out to see what was happening.

Perhaps it was because the storm had everyone cooped up, but boredom and anxiety made them all especially attentive to any commotion outside.

"Help! Help me! Robbery! Murder!"

Along with the jarring sound of shattering glass, Seraphina clearly saw what was happening. On the second floor of the building across the way, a middle-aged woman was frantically waving a mop handle, desperately fighting off three masked men climbing into her apartment through a broken window.

The men were rough, and they had clearly come prepared.

The woman’s resistance was quickly broken. She was dragged forcibly into the room, and her desperate screams suddenly cut off, as if something had been clamped over her mouth.

Immediately after, the three masked men began brazenly carrying things out of the apartment.

Bags of rice and flour, jugs of water, convenience foods, and even a small safe!

"A home invasion in broad daylight?!" Seraphina was stunned.

’The disaster has barely even started, and society is already collapsing this fast?’

’Are these people really that brazen?’

’No, that’s not it!’ she immediately realized. ’This isn’t that simple.’

’Ordinary robbers would be trying to lay low at a time like this. Why would they be so arrogant as to do this in plain sight?’

Without hesitation, she immediately activated her [Eye of Resume], her gaze locking onto the three masked men busy hauling their "loot."

A pale blue data box quickly appeared:

[Name: Quinn Parker]

[Gender: Male]

[Professional Skills: None]

[Weaknesses: Cowardly]

...

[Name: Wyatt Lewis]

[Gender: Male]

[Professional Skills: None]

[Weaknesses: Greedy]

...

[Name: Gene Morton]

[Gender: Male]

[Professional Skills: Talent: Confusion - Can create and release a powerful knockout agent in gas or powder form, rendering targets within a certain range unconscious.]

[Weaknesses: Severely nearsighted, poor dynamic visual acuity]

Seeing the data for the third man, Gene Morton, it all clicked for Seraphina.

’A Player!’

’So a Player is involved!’

’Having a control-type Ability like that would certainly make them more brazen during a robbery. The woman who lived there was probably knocked out instantly by his drug.’

’That explains why they’re being so bold. They have a trump card!’

Just then, neighbors in the surrounding buildings also realized what was happening and began shouting angrily:

"Hey! What do you think you’re doing?! We’ve already called the police! Put that stuff down!"

"This is completely lawless! Is anyone going down there to help?!"
