<h4>Chapter 346 The Arrangement of Fate</h4>


    William returned to the 13th Bureau''s camp and removed the illusion, returning Steven''s hunting knife to him.


    Steven took the knife and walked aside with William.


    He finally found an opportunity to speak with William: "Mr. Johnson, the pill you gave me a few days ago, can I take it now?"


    William thought for a moment and smiled, "Yes, you can. I remember now, that pill is called the HyperBody Pill, a miraculous drug that forcibly enhances physical strength and increases capabilities. If you take it, you might even lose weight."


    "Forcibly enhancing bodily functions?" Steven''s eyes lit up.


    Usually, pills that rapidly enhance strength by stimting the body''s potential can lead to side effects, like unstable enhancement or difficulties in further improvementster on.


    But if it''s a pill that refines bodily functions, that would be much morefortable.


    If those Guilds hadn''te here, Steven''s peak mid-level Soulmancer strength would have been sufficient. However, in the current situation, his power was clearly insufficient. Without enhancing his strength, he wouldn''t be able to cope.


    At that moment, William slowly took out his phone and found his payment code.


    "That pill costs $10,000. Transfer the money."


    Steven was momentarily taken aback. What did this mean?


    But he didn''t have much choice or time to think. Without asking any questions, he took out his phone and transferred $10,000 to William.


    "We''re even now." William put away his phone, also without exnation.


    Steven then realized the significance.


    As a Soulmancer, he naturally understood the Law of Cause and Effect. Establishing a connection with a super-powerful figure like William and receiving such a substantial benefit could lead to unforeseen consequences in the future.


    Now, settling the Law of Cause and Effect for $10,000 was an excellent deal.


    "Thank you, Master!" Steven bowed slightly, understanding that this was also William''s way of protecting him.


    The HyperBody Pill that William provided was worth not just $10,000 but even a million dors.


    "I told you, we''re even now. There''s no need to thank me anymore," William said casually before entering his tent to rest.


    The members of the 13th Bureau had no idea that just a few minutes earlier, William had impersonated Steven and killed two Underworld Warriors.


    The next day, as soon as dawn broke, numerous foreign teams entered the area. Everyone who entered this new world couldn''t help but be astonished, naturally wanting to im their share of the benefits.


    Countless videos and photos transmitted abroad further solidified the determination of these foreigners to upy this territory.


    However, by noon, an Iranian team encountered a certain Guild.


    The members of this Guild were ruthless, unleashing various magical artifacts without a second word, leaving a hundred-man squad all seriously injured in less than ten seconds.


    Soulmancers generally dislike killing, but they value territorial sovereignty even more than ordinary people.


    Anyone who trespasses on their territory without permission invariably faces a life-and-death battle. Trying to upy an area here is simply courting death.


    The Guild encountered by the Iranian team was rtively benevolent,they just injured them and threw them all out.


    The North Korean team, however, was less fortunate, encountering Evelyn''s team.


    Last night, Evelyn was still fuming internally after William snatched Seraphina right from under her watch.


    When she encountered a group of people, reminded of her great-grandfather''s death in North Korea, her anger surged.


    "Kill them all!"


    With this indifferentmand, the fate of this hundred-man squad was sealed.


    Evelyn''s subordinates, warriors from the underworld, were all Dark Power Wielders. They took pleasure in the ughter, and within minutes, the entire group was buried there.


    Escape was impossible.


    Theirbat strength was like child''s y in front of these Underworld warriors, offering no resistance whatsoever.


    The methods of the Soulmancers, captured in various videos and images, shocked the general public, who found Soulmancers terrifyingly powerful.


    It didn''t matter that they hadn''t brought high-tech weapons this time; even if they had brought the most advanced weaponry, it wouldn''t have changed anything.


    To put it bluntly, after these videos circted, even if invited, the eliminated countries wouldn''t dare toe.


    They had sent their elite forces.


    For those thrown out, they should be thankful for the mercy shown.


    Just look at the plight of the Japanese elites – how tragic!


    Many of the elite forces from various countries entered thisnd and retreated in less than half a day. The eliminated countries no longer wanted to enter this mysterious territory.


    Even with plentiful resources, one must have life to use them.


    At the same time, the diplomats from the eliminated countries demanded that the United States share the resources of thatnd.


    The U.S. State Department was blunt: "The resources are there. If you want them, please help yourself."


    Such statements naturally dissatisfied the eliminated countries, who strongly condemned the U.S. for condoning the killing behavior of its Soulmancers.


    The U.S. State Department was even more straightforward: "We are ordinary people and can''t control those Soulmancers. If you wish to intervene, you may send your own Soulmancers to govern. However, if any country''s army steps into the U.S., it will be considered a deration of war!"


    No eliminated country dared to actually send troops into U.S. territory.


    As for the Soulmancers of the eliminated countries...


    If they had any, would they have suffered so badly today?


    Today''s experience was undoubtedly a lifelong nightmare for them.


    Anyone who survived and was eliminated vowed never to set foot in this new continent again in their lifetime.


    William, however, was not concerned with these matters. The idea was his, and the oue was within his expectations.


    The next day, they scoured the territory again, bringing back many things.


    Steven, having taken the HyperBody Pill given by William the night before, was in excellent spirits and his strength had risen to that of an advanced Soulmancer. His old work-rted ailments had healed, and his overall condition had greatly improved.


    Finally, they encountered Evelyn and her group in front of an Eternal Vine.


    At the same time, they ran into Seraphina.


    This could really be considered fate.


    Other Soulmancers might not be interested in the Eternal Vine, but for the Underworld Warriors, it was an invaluable treasure.


    Having descended into the world of ordinary humans, the bodies they upied weren''t top-notch, and their ability to regain strength wasn''t fast. If they could use the Eternal Vine to rebuild their bodies, their strength would increase rapidly.


    Seraphina needed it, and so did Evelyn''s subordinates. Faced with such a valuable item, who could easily give it up?
