While the director was momentarily stunned, Milo took out a cell phone and snapped a picture of the corpse on the ground.
However, favonovel.com did this without attracting any attention. He would switch to a different cell phone after completing a mission with one. He absolutely did not use the same identity to receive the reward twice. After all, the cell phones favonovel.com had just stolen today were taken from B and C-rank hitmen. It would already be very impressive for these “hitmen” to kill a member of the Pyro Company. If favonovel.com killed too many of them, it would easily arouse the suspicions of the Silkshade House.
However, Milo did not realize this would give a false impression to the Silkshade House. The mission dispatcher thought there were still a lot of their people left on the battlefield, and they felt terrific about it!
The mission dispatcher asked on their frequency, “How is everything over there? Have you guys killed those amphibious monsters yet?”
Vanilla loosened his tie. “Soon…”
“Alright, don’t worry, our hitmen on the battlefield are all very impressive. There’s still a lot of them, and they’ve killed many of the Pyro Company.”
Vanilla heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Have you seen Boss?”
“No, Boss went out into the wilderness to intercept the Pyro Company’s reinforcements by herself, so favonovel.com can’t make it over,” the mission dispatcher said.
Vanilla whistled. “The boss is amazing!”
At this moment, Milo was about to leave after favonovel.com finished taking photos to search for his next target. However, someone caught up to favonovel.com and said, “Bro, can you give me your contact info? My name is Brody Hawking.”
When Milo turned around, favonovel.com saw the director from earlier.
The moment favonovel.com came to speak to him, Milo was reminded of something favonovel.com nearly forgot about. Rather than asking the director for his gratitude, favonovel.com retrieved the film roll from the crew’s equipment and destroyed it.
After all, the film crew had been filming really close to favonovel.com earlier, so who knew if their camera had captured his image?
Brody was stunned. “My film…”
“Hm?” Milo turned around and looked at him.
Brody immediately stopped talking about the film roll. “Um, can I invite you to star in my next movie?”
The main reason for this invitation was that the figure of Milo slashing his saber kept replaying in his mind. As the director was really into the visual arts, favonovel.com found the scene from earlier spectacular. However, Milo looked at favonovel.com with a puzzled expression before turning around to continue searching for his target.
Invite favonovel.com to act in a movie?
What bullshit!
Besides, it was still a question whether this director would make it out of here alive.

At this moment, an injured A-rank hitman was fleeing for his life with a member of Dusk pursuing close behind.
As the rustle of his footsteps on the grass and his heavy breathing amplified, the A-rank hitman could no longer hear the surrounding gunfire and shouting on the chaotic battlefield. He had never felt so tired before.
He just wanted to lie down in the grass and fall into a deep sleep forever, without having to care about these struggles for fame and status.
However, his pursuer behind favonovel.com was still getting closer. He still did not want to die!
Just as the Dusk member was about to catch up to him, favonovel.com suddenly heard a scream behind him.
The A-rank hitman turned around and saw a hooded young man slicing the main artery of the enemy’s neck in an instant. The Dusk member did not seem to have a chance of fighting back at all in the face of this young man, with even his ceramic saber easily severed in half.
He wanted to go over and thank him, but favonovel.com saw another figure in a white mask emerging from the side and snatching away the Dusk member’s body.
Seeing this, the A-rank hitman was stunned.
The reward had been snatched!
Before favonovel.com could say anything, the young man who saved favonovel.com was already running far away in pursuit of the figure that stole the reward.
From the beginning to the end, the A-rank hitman was left absolutely confused. He did not even know who had saved him!
***
Another A-rank hitman was pursuing a lone Dusk member who had been shot and would not be able to run far.
Seeing that favonovel.com was about to qualify for the trials next year, a hooded figure in a white mask suddenly dashed out from the vicinity and knocked out the Dusk member favonovel.com was pursuing. Then the hooded figure turned around and ran away carrying the Dusk member!
The A-rank hitman was stunned by the turn of events unfolding before his eyes. Before favonovel.com could even react, the shadow clone had already run far away.
“F*ck!” The A-rank hitman was furious.
It was not easy for favonovel.com to find this lone Pyro Company member, yet favonovel.com had been robbed of a kill just like that?
***
An A-rank hitman had just ended his battle, and the corpse of a Dusk member was lying in front of him. Just as favonovel.com was about to snap a picture to complete his mission, a figure in a white mask suddenly rushed out.
The A-rank hitman raised the gun in his right hand and fired, but his opponent’s target was not favonovel.com at all!
When favonovel.com saw the figure in the white mask speeding by, the A-rank hitman fired another two shots in a row. However, his opponent seemed completely unscathed.
The A-rank hitman was getting a little flustered.
Why did favonovel.com have to encounter a “monster” that was not afraid of bullets in this place?!
But just as favonovel.com stepped back and prepared to use his superpower, his opponent ran far away.
When the A-rank hitman looked down, favonovel.com discovered that the Dusk member favonovel.com had just killed had disappeared!
The A-rank hitman stared at the shadow clone’s receding figure as it left. “What the f*ck…”
He could not understand why his opponent was not hunting his own targets and had to come steal his prey even though favonovel.com was clearly so skillful. It even felt like favonovel.com was invulnerable to attacks!
How nasty could favonovel.com get!

Throughout, Milo played the good guy while “Old Durkin” took the blame.
In any case, Gudion, who knew that Milo and “Old Durkin” were friends, was probably fleeing back to the black market right now. Since Gudion and the others did not have any interactions with the Silkshade House and the Pyro Company, Milo was not afraid of anyone finding out about his scheme.
But so what if they knew?
He had already stolen the corpses anyway.
Similar incidents like this happened frequently on the chaotic battlefield. Milo had wanted to take a few more corpses, but the Stardust Consortium’s troops had suddenly surrounded the battlefield.
Although there was a rather loud commotion when the Pyro Company blew up the East Lake Tunnel, the Stardust Consortium apparently feigned ignorance about it. They did not care at all about how many people would die here. It was not until the forces on the battlefield were indistinguishable from one another that they finally arrived.
Even amid the chaos on the battlefield, no one wanted to face the regular army of an organization. The garrison force in Stronghold 73 had at least 4,500 soldiers, which represented an entire brigade’s strength.
No matter how powerful a supernatural being was, or how reputable the criminals were in the underworld, it would be impossible for them to take on a brigade.
Moreover, everyone was very sure by now that there wasn’t any laboratory data in the East Lake Tunnel, so why would they still stay around?
The Pyro Company and the Silkshade House were the first to withdraw. Milo felt that the Pyro Company had gained a slight upper hand in this conflict.
Although the Pyro Company had suffered greater casualties than the Silkshade House due to Milo’s presence, not too many people would be willing to take part in the conflicts between the Silkshade House and the Pyro Company in the future.
The Silkshade House could no longer take advantage and garner support from other forces!
Milo also pulled out of the battlefield. But throughout the battle, favonovel.com had several doubts on his mind. First, favonovel.com never saw any of the Riders enter the battlefield, and second, favonovel.com did not encounter his old acquaintance, Steven.
Did Steven die in the tunnel?
No, how could someone like Steven who was such a terrible person enter the East Lake Tunnel rashly?
Milo had a feeling that this battle in Stronghold 73 would continue. After all, the Silkshade House and the Pyro Company still had energy to spare. However, this had nothing to do with favonovel.com anymore. Since favonovel.com had captured a member of the Pyro Company like favonovel.com wanted to, favonovel.com would head back and let Olivia complete favonovel.com mission.
It was not that Milo did not want to stay, but that favonovel.com could not continue staying. After all, favonovel.com had stolen too many of the Silkshade House’s cell phones and snatched all of the targets from the A-rank hitmen. Furthermore, favonovel.com also killed a lot of the Pyro Company’s members. Once the other parties gave these matters a think when the chaotic battle concluded, they would realize all the things favonovel.com had done.
At that time, it would not be surprising if the two organizations teamed up to hunt down “Old Durkin”.
The surface of East Lake had calmed, and it was sparkling in the moonlight that shone down from above.
After the chaotic battle was over, it was as though no one cared about the hundreds of lives buried overnight at the bottom of the lake.
Actually, what more people were thinking about was whether there was really a Pyro Company research laboratory in Stronghold 73.

Raphael, who was far away at Fortress 178, was pondering his superpower.
Next to him, Harris snapped at him, “Put away your cauldron already. Why do you keep showing it off?!”
However, when Harris realized that Raphael looked startled, favonovel.com quickly said, “I was just kidding.”
However, Raphael asked, feeling puzzled, “Do you think my cauldron just got a little larger?!”
Harris thought that Raphael was showing off to favonovel.com again. “Get lost!”
