Standing nearby, Ethan dug out the Radiant Crystal from the monster's body.
Now holding three Radiant Crystals in his hand, they shimmered brilliantly, glowing vividly even in broad daylight.
Mad Dog and his zombie crew crowded around excitedly.
"Boss, you were right! It really split into three crystals!"
"Yeah..." Ethan nodded calmly.
He had known all along that the parasite monster would sense nearby Radiant Crystals and lure them in—that was exactly part of his plan.
Mad Dog and the others were deeply impressed, convinced Ethan could predict anything.
"Boss, let's go attack a city! I'm tired of hanging around this small town. Let's grab ourselves a bigger territory!"
"If you want a bigger territory, you'll have to earn it yourself," Ethan replied casually.
Mad Dog looked stunned. "Wait, what about you, boss? What are you gonna do?"
"I'm leaving."
"Huh...?" Mad Dog froze, completely caught off guard. "Where...where are you going?"
