Chapter 353 Double It
A heavy thud cracked through the air, followed by a wet, tearing sound.
Benny coughed up a mouthful of crimson blood and went flying backward in an instant.
Agony tore through every inch of him.
He knew without question that he was no match for this kid.

There was no point even drawing on his sigil pattern power now. He’d already gotten a clear enough read on exactly what he was up against.
Still, something else caught his attention. Steven was gasping for breath, which meant he probably wasnt as strong as he looked, likely just a Three–Sigil Divine Adept at best.
That edge of his came entirely from the S–rank weapon and S–rank battle armor he carried.
Seeing his opening, Benny didn’t waste a second. He finally managed to put some distance between them.
Fighting through the pain of his wounds, he dove headfirst into a storm drain:
Steven closed in fast, but by the time he arrived, his target had already slipped away.
Olivia Vasquez’s voice crackled through his earpiece. “Why didn’t you finish him off?”
Steven stayed silent, careful not to give away too much.
He deployed a set of tracking sensors.
He made a show of heading down a false trail, while in truth, he never strayed far from where Benny had
vanished.
He also positioned himself somewhere with few witnesses around, patient enough to let them take the bait.
Meanwhile, down in the storm drain, Benny spat out another mouthful of blood.
“Boss, this kid’s strength can’t be past Three–Sigil. You want us to make our move?”
The leader’s expression turned grim.
“That little punk is broadcasting this whole thing live for the entire city to watch.”
Benny’s face darkened at that.
“Boss, a chance like this won’t come twice. Are we doing this or not?”
The leader’s expression stayed dark and unreadable. A risk this steep went against everything they usually stood for. If the military caught wind of this and came after them, things would turn ugly fast.
Right then, a message came through.
“Kill him now and the bounty doubles! Do it right in front of the whole city! The military won’t lift a finger!

Move now!”

The moment those words registered, the old rat made up his mind.
Double the bounty.
A heartbeat later, the matching deposit landed straight into his account.
He nearly choked at the sight of it.

That was several million divine crystals on the line, and if he kept that extra share entirely to himself, with no one else to split it with, he’d never have to worry about money again for a long, long while.
He was in.
Every last trace of hesitation drained right out of him. They’d promised the military wouldn’t touch this, so there was nothing left to do but finish it fast.
“Move out! Surround him, all of you! I’ll deliver the kill myself!”
In an instant, every rat hiding underground sprang into motion, charging straight toward where Steven stood waiting.
Steven remained exactly where he was, tucked into that quiet, secluded spot, and Olivia’s voice cut through his earpiece once more.
[Did those sewer rats really just give up that easily?]
