Chapter 190 Silence Means Yes.
This godbound creature did not have much intelligence.
“What if it doesn’t agree after ten minutes?” someone asked.
Garfield said firmly, “If it doesn’t speak, that means yes.”
That actually made sense.
She had thought Garfield would use his Capital Preservation ability to force the other side to send the people back. Or at least send back a leg.
Ten minutes passed.
The balance scale flashed.
The five people who had been swallowed earlier all dropped onto it at once.
Luckily, the twin giant serpents were originally one body. Because of that, even Hank—who had been eaten-was returned as well.
“I’ve been drained dry!” Hank shouted. “Some creepy woman sucked away all my attribute points!” His face twisted with humiliation, anger, and misery.
The other students looked even worse. Their faces were pale.
One of them almost collapsed.
“My talent

my talent downgraded!”
His SSS-rank talent had fallen to S-rank.
The loss was massive.
Still, being alive was what mattered. It was far better than being trapped inside Bloodmoon.
“Is there anyone else still over there?” someone asked.
“No. Just the five of us,” another replied.
“That’s good!”
Joanna urged Garfield to leave right away.
But at that moment, the White Python’s eyes turned a strange violet. A woman’s voice echoed

out.
“I propose a trade. One person in exchange for Joanna.”
Garfield stopped mid-step.
The scale appeared again.
Joanna rolled her eyes at Garfield.
Useless at the worst moment.
She told him to leave, yet he stayed. Now the enemy had an opening.
“Reject it!” Joanna shouted.
Garfield’s mind raced.
For a split second, he seriously considered if he should hand Joanna over.
He weighed all the pros and cons.
In the end, he didn’t dare.
After all the painful lessons he had learned, he knew one thing for sure-Joanna was not someone you messed with.
And this wasn’t a personal fight. He had just rescued the students. That was a big achievement. If he handed over Joanna-the number-one player in credits-he would become a traitor.
At worst, he could die once.
Gritting his teeth, Garfield rejected the trade.
The balance scale flipped in the air and crashed toward him.
That was when Joanna moved.
She had been watching this rule-based power the whole time. It was far stronger than any normal professional-level force. But even rules had limits.
True strength could break them.
She threw a single punch, and the scale was knocked away.
Garfield survived.

He jumped onto his Longneck Chicken and took off at full speed. This kind of fight was not meant for someone who relied on tricks and rules.
Joanna turned to face the White Python.
A dangerous smile curled across her lips.
“You captured Kayden. And Lucas too, right?” she said. “You can see this place, can’t you? Are Lucas and the others with you now? Did they side with you?
“Then from today on, we are enemies.
“You gave me such a big gift. So I’ll return the favor.
“Take this.”
Joanna was not someone who swallowed her anger.
Before, she endured because she had no power.
Now she did. Anyone who dared to scheme against her had better be ready for her strike.
She didn’t need to kill them. Making them suffer was enough.
That was Joanna’s rule.
She attacked without hesitation. Her attributes were so high that her raw strength matched any warrior-class professional.
She didn’t even use her sword. With her bare hands, she forced open the White Python’s massive jaws.
Inside, a teleport portal shimmered with strange, twisting light.
The Celestial Gaze above Joanna’s brow exploded with a silver glow. Like spinning shards of light, it surged straight into the portal.
“The Great Ruin!”
Every contract beast had one final move-its strongest attack.
