The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 48 A Humiliating Dinner

At this moment, the waiter pushed the dining cart in, saying it was a clear water hot pot base, but what they poured in was mineral water—an expensive name brand to boot. One had to admit, rich people sure knew how to play. Plates of dishes were set on the table, and Yang Qiang took out two bottles of liquor, saying: "Young Master, do you think it's appropriate to drink this tonight?" The two bottles of Chinese liquor were so old and worn out that the brand name wasn't even visible, but Zhang Wenbin knew they must be high-end goods he'd never tasted before. Right now, Zhang Wenbin could clearly feel that his monster-like eating habits weren't just beneficial for his own magical power; they were also helpful for the Godfather System in appeasing the desires of the thousands of resentful souls as they continued to assimilate. And when it came to appetite, liquor was much more effective than meat. Most of the thousands of resentful souls loved to indulge in wh...

The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 47 Entering the Private Club

As the most prosperous area in the city, the end of Gulf Avenue was quiet but still filled with the allure of neon lights and luxury. An inconspicuous private club situated by the seaside had a parking lot filled with luxury cars. There weren't many guests, but in the tranquility, it exuded a sense of absolute nobility. Security guards in sharp suits at the entrance were responsible for guiding the way. Because all the guests were VIPs, their caliber was exceptionally high. The moment Zhang Wenbin approached, a security guard stepped forward with a face full of smiles and said, "Sir, this is a private club and not open to the public. May I ask if you have a reservation?" Having lived in Coastal City for so long, Zhang Wenbin had heard of this place of paper gold and drunken revelry, but he had never been here and was full of curiosity. The security guard's words were considered polite; he didn't look down on Zhang Wenbin for arriving on foot. Mainly, the young ...

The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 46 A Coquettish Call

He slept wonderfully until the sky turned dark. Having gained experience, waking up this time wasn't as wretched as the last; at most, he just felt a little hungry. Saying a silent invocation in his mind, the Godfather System was still in a devouring slumber. It didn't feel like it would wake up anytime soon. After washing up and changing, he checked the time; it was already evening. He had slept for a full day. Mainly, Zhang Wenbin disliked the feeling of his magical power being significantly reduced during the day and much preferred the omnipotence of the night. Leaving the hotel full of energy, he saw missed calls from Xu Fei on his phone. Zhang Wenbin dialed her back while walking. "Master, you're awake." On the other end of the phone, Xu Fei's voice was extremely coquettish: "Just as you said, Guoguo couldn't put that pendant down when she saw it. I told her I bought it as a souvenir on a trip, and she immediately asked for it." "A...

The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 45 The Tianlong Invitation

At the entrance of the Tianlong Grand Hotel, Ah Hu, whom he had met once before, was waiting. Seeing Zhang Wenbin arrive, he immediately welcomed him warmly. "Senior, please follow me. Normally, President Lin should be here to welcome you, but there are too many people here. Please don't take offense." Zhang Wenbin smiled and said nothing, comfortably enjoying his deference. The moment he entered the hotel, the little ghost infant didn't react at all. It had to be said that Yang Qiang was truly unlucky. This ghost infant was one of the extreme minorities—an anomaly that the "Golden Seal Dropping on Paper" array couldn't detect. If it were any other evil spirit, it would have been dealt with by the Golden Seal Dropping on Paper the moment he came here to play cards. This could be considered a predetermined fate. The hotel staff were all astonished. Ah Hu was President Lin's trusted aide, someone notoriously vicious. But having witnessed Zhang Wenb...

The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 44 A New Lair

If you were to ask which road in Coastal City had the most expensive real estate, it was undoubtedly Gulf Avenue. On one side of the road were sandy beaches and various ocean-related entertainment facilities. On this side of the road stood a variety of high-rise buildings and upscale residential communities. It was a prime location, offering tranquility amidst the bustling city. Residential properties here were scarce; calling it an area where an inch of land was worth an ounce of gold was no exaggeration. As the Mercedes Benz came to a stop, a middle-aged man at the entrance of the real estate agency came forward, greeting them warmly, "Director Yang is here! Please, come inside. The tea is already brewed—top-grade Oolong just waiting for you to taste." Yang Qiang stepped out of the car but shot him a glare. He personally opened the rear door, forcing a smile as he said, "Young Master, we've arrived." This was a request Yang Qiang had cautiously brought up....

The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 43 Stockholm Syndrome

Zhang Wenbin squatted down as well. "Cow skulls are easy to find, but venomous banded kraits are hard to get in the city even with money. This one is a superb tonic for it. Tomorrow I'll find an even more venomous snake. Once it's finished eating, it should be fully mature. Then we'll know exactly what type of Gu it is." "Thank you, Master." Xu Fei spoke gratefully, then a thought struck her. "By the way, you said this silkworm shares a mental connection with my daughter. When she comes back from school and sees how big the silkworm has become, won't it blow my cover?" "The little thing doesn't have much cultivation yet, it's not that sinister. Let me use some small tricks, and it'll forget this happened." The banded krait was drained entirely. The black silkworm, completely full, digested without moving. Zhang Wenbin said, "Put it back. If it keeps sucking, it'll burst. Such a small thing with such a tin...

The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 42 The Feeding Ritual

Zhang Wenbin smiled without a word. Xu Fei already understood what it meant. Taking a deep breath, amidst her fear, a resolute determination appeared in her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she firmly squeezed the snake's vital point, turned around, and threw the banded krait into the cow skull. The banded krait struggled in terror, but bizarrely, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape the skull. The black silkworm instantly became hyperactive, climbed onto the banded krait's body, and quickly moved forward until it lay on its head. Xu Fei watched with trepidation, most worried that the snake would swallow the black silkworm in one gulp. She was as nervous as if her daughter had gone onto a battlefield to fight for her life; her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would explode. However, as soon as the black silkworm climbed onto it, the banded krait went stiff and went limp as if paralyzed by fear. After the black silkworm reached its head, it settled ther...
