Zhou Zhao was stunned.

In Alfas, the traces of Mayfly spanned the entire continent, from S District, once part of the old federation government, to South Stone Third District, and then to North Second District, you could find the presence of Mayfly.

The Mayfly organization was initially established to resist the oppression of the Alfas people, and has now developed into a large organization that can rival Sky City. Its members join either due to survival pressure or for a common vision.

As for those like him, a B-class Mayfly, they mostly take on ordinary commissions, such as finding lost jewelry, transporting goods, mediating gang conflicts, or retrieving certain items, and they receive rewards upon completion.

Each area has a liaison officer responsible for connecting with these Mayflies for tasks, and North Second District's liaison officer is Omega, who is the woman in front of him now. Zhou Zhao had only heard her voice without seeing her before during task handovers, and only had a vague impression of her. He didn't expect to actually see her today.

He originally thought that the 'key to the future' was just another ordinary commission, but didn't expect it to end in such a difficult situation to resolve.

Could the liaison officer from North Second District be a member of the Elias Judgement Court?

This doubt grew in his heart.

"Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?" Zhou Zhao cautiously spoke.

A bullet grazed past his forehead and with a swoosh, buried itself into the wall.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Zhou Zhao's temple, and Omega didn't give him a moment to breathe, taking a few steps forward and continuously firing at the area where the young man was.

Zhou Zhao, having experienced a baptism in the midst of bullets, reacted with extreme agility, ducking under a nearby table and swiftly darting underneath. Bullets embedded themselves in the nearby ground, with a few dangerously close ones grazing past his body.

Omega relentlessly continued shooting to suppress him as Zhou Zhao scrambled in a sorry state under tables and chairs to evade the woman's shots. Seizing the opportunity, he lunged out like a nimble rabbit, abruptly picking up a chair and hurling it towards the woman's position.

Omega sneered coldly, lifting her long leg high to perform a split, kicking the chair into splinters while simultaneously striking towards Zhou Zhao's direction with thunderous force!

The solid wood table burst apart, and seeing cracks forming beneath her legs, Zhou Zhao gulped, intimidated by the woman's domineering power. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Instinctively, he realized today's matter might be more complicated than he had ever imagined, at least this woman genuinely wanted to kill him!

At this moment, a notification popped up in front of him.

「Four-leaf Phoenix Tree: Zhou Zhao, everyone is waiting for you, did you forget about today's training match?」

「Yu Lan: Please hurry up, Young Master Zhou, it's almost time for the promotion match with Light Chasing Garden, and we may not have time to gather again after today.」

「Xiao Xinzhu: Did something unexpected happen?」

「Lu Shuhang: 4 waiting for 1, ASAP.」

Zhou Zhao hurriedly swiped away the notifications, frantically getting up, suddenly remembering there's a training match this afternoon, but he's a wanted man with a woman trying to kill him!

Omega expressionlessly pulled the trigger, only to find the bullets had run out.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Zhao charged forcefully. Omega skillfully loaded a magazine, sidestepping the youth's charge effortlessly, lowering her force, delivering a kick that nearly broke Zhou Zhao's lower leg.

Omega, while single-handedly loading, twisted Zhou Zhao's arm backhandedly, her superior close combat skills being an overwhelming blow against Zhou Zhao, someone from the slums whose fighting skills were simply brutish. Whatever struggle he attempted was effortlessly subdued by the woman.

The flashy moves from Oasis were nothing short of a dream for someone as physically weak as him, let alone activating his Divine Gift, he couldn't even maintain Mimicry for long.

"I don't have time to play with you." Zhou Zhao's face pressed tightly against the ground, unable to move under her restraint.

Omega raised an eyebrow, only noticing during the recent altercation that Zhou Zhao's watch was somehow clasped on her wrist.

"What do you intend to do?" Omega coldly questioned.

"A bottom-tier person's victory has its ways, goodbye!"

Seeing Zhou Zhao suddenly withdraw his restrained right hand, mimicking Cloud-Exploring Hand from Oasis, his fingers moved rapidly creating afterimages, quickly tapping a few spots on the watch.

In the next moment, Omega's body was uncontrollably pulled through the wall as if forcibly hurled by invisible hands, rotating in mid-air before vanishing across a hundred meters before the young man's eyes.

Zhou Zhao exhaled heavily, enduring the pain that felt like his entire body was falling apart, stood up, and cast one last glance at the little shack that had been his home for two years amidst the chaos. Looking at the familiar setup and the mess all around, he felt little regret or reluctance, decisively turning to leave.

For Mayflies like him, drifting across this land with no fixed abode was the norm, and moments of peace would always be broken. This place was no longer safe; in the future, there would likely be many who would come after him. If he wanted to survive, he needed to quickly find a new hiding place.

Mayflies' fate is to be whisked away by the wind, living like dust floating through the air.

Looking over the scarred land, Zhou Zhao mumbled to himself.

"I just wonder if it's too late…"

...

Time quickly advanced to the day of the league tournament. Amidst the eager anticipation of everyone, the competition from 256 to 128 commenced slowly. The male host walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, elegant in appearance and exuding confidence.
