My Apocalypse Territory

Chapter 260 - 257: Are People Still Wrecking Places These Days?

In the distance.

Seeing the rift that suddenly appeared and then disappeared, and feeling that suffocating, fleeting, terrifying aura, Director Jin and the others stood frozen in place, stunned for a long time.

"…Is it over?" someone murmured.

Before them was a scene of devastation, partly due to the surging energy tides when the spatial passage formed, but mostly, it was the aftermath of the battle between the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and the Skeletons, blasted out by the fighting.

The neighboring villas had become ruins, some of the ground was blasted into holes, others turned into an Ice Snow World, shimmering under the sunlight.

Tall, tower-like buildings in the distance flickered a few times and then vanished.

"This time, we were fortunate that Hall Master Tang and the others were here, or it might have ended in a major disaster. Captain Lei, find out which member suggested we seek the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's help, and be sure to commend them," Director Jin said with a smile slowly emerging on his face.

"Ah, oh."

Captain Lei returned to his senses, nodded, and then watched as Director Jin straightened his clothes, walked to the edge of a pit, and jumped in.

…

"…The rewards we promised will be delivered to the Martial Arts Hall tomorrow. Additionally, to thank the Extreme Martial Arts Hall for their help, we will open access to some restricted trade items."

"Oh?" Tang Yu turned around, "Can item number 003 be traded?"

The corner of Director Jin's mouth twitched slightly, "Those items are the most precious within the Sanctuary, and even I usually do not have the privilege to see them. However, it might be possible to trade some of the later-numbered items in the Sanctuary; I will try to negotiate this for Hall Master Tang."

He spoke sincerely, clearly resolved to foster a good relationship with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Their Security Bureau, responsible for the internal security of the Sanctuary, would greatly benefit from a good relationship with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall for any extraordinary incidents that might arise in the future.

Most importantly, Director Jin thought, fostering a good relationship might also mean getting some discounts on the usual fees; paying the full price was simply too expensive.

As the daylight began to fade, remote

The area was officially sealed off, yet the second-hand news that spread was fantastical.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the martial arts hall.

Then someone shouted in panic, "People from One Punch Martial Arts Hall are here to cause trouble!"
