Inheritor, you really are a devil.

One person on a mountain of knives, four in a pot of oil, one being endlessly 'snapped'…

After observing the punishment illusion, Qin Feng suddenly felt that the intensity of the knife mountain and oil pot punishments wasn't all that great?

In comparison, that guy constantly being 'snapped,' then growing back, then being 'snapped' again…

This kind of torture might be even more tragic for some people!

Of course…

Anyone judged by Qin Feng never came to a good end.

Everyone faced endless torment.

Physical pain, mental torture, endless!

And Mr. J, the Suit-wearing Old Man, and the others weren't fools. When they experienced all of this and began to suffer endless reincarnation torment, they quickly understood everything!

"Shadow, it's Shadow!"

"Shadow killed us and then brought us to this Judgment Land…"

"Those who were killed by Shadow and disappeared before were all sent here."

"Am I going to experience all of this forever here?"

…

In yet another cycle, Mr. J once again fell straight onto the mountain of knives.

His body was already covered in stab wounds from swords and knives, with bloody holes everywhere, causing him immense pain.

He struggled in mid-air, terrified, the sensation of being pierced by swords and knives stimulating him constantly. In this state, he couldn't even die.

"Shadow… I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Just give me a quick death…"

He cried and shouted apologies.

But unfortunately, even if Qin Feng heard him, he wouldn't give him any chance.

However, at this moment.

Qin Feng looked at some of the people who had been punished earlier.

For example, Huang Ziqing, who was undergoing the Knife Mountain punishment, and the Corpse Collector Gao Xiaoyi, who was in the oil pot.

"These guys seem to have become numb?"

Qin Feng frowned.

Huang Ziqing didn't even scream when he fell.

Gao Xiaoyi waited motionless for death in the oil pot, not struggling at all, like a dead fish.

"Let's give them something stimulating…"

"Anyway, the judgment is over."

"Can they swap punishments? Experience a brand new version?"

Qin Feng asked Asha Hess next to him about this issue.

Asha Hess heard his request, her beautiful light golden eyes showing surprise, and she tilted her head, saying, "Inheritor, you really are a devil."

She thought for a moment and said, "It can be done, but it will consume a bit of divinity and yield no profit. Are you sure you want to do this? If so, I'll teach you."

"It consumes divinity? Then forget it."

Qin Feng waved his hand.

If they're like dead fish, then so be it. I'm not a sadist, am I?

Asha Hess pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Inheritor, you really are stingy."

Qin Feng also smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."

…

North America, Los Angeles Ruins.

After dealing with the six people, Qin Feng returned to the 'Noble Restaurant' Hideout.

Compared to before, the current Qin Feng was now an honored guest of North America!

Stina personally led him to the central conference round table of the Noble Restaurant to participate in the 'Protection Fee' meeting.

The North American players participating in this meeting, besides Stina, included the guild leaders of the top ten guilds in Los Angeles, and the representative chosen from the fourteen Great Xia guilds in Los Angeles—the long-haired beauty 'Dawn'.

Dawn's combat power was already very strong, ranking among the top tier of the fourteen Great Xia guilds. Coupled with her friendship with Stina, she was recommended to attend this meeting.

At this moment, Dawn and Stina sat on either side of Qin Feng.

As a Great Xia player, the former naturally adored Qin Feng, and her beautiful eyes shone with admiration when she looked at him.

She never expected that because of this incident, she would be able to befriend 'Shadow' and even participate with Shadow in a meeting that would decide the future fate of the entire Los Angeles…

Stina, on the other hand, diligently hosted Qin Feng.

She also prepared many local Los Angeles delicacies for Qin Feng. Of course, these were all created by the god-given book from the local Tower of Divine Authority.

Even so, Qin Feng refused them all.

Eat food prepared by others?

Never in this lifetime.

The guild leaders of the North American Top Ten Guilds sitting around the round table had very subtle expressions.

They knew that all seven leaders of the Heaven Serpent Guild, except Stina, had already been 'dealt with' by Shadow.

As for where they specifically went, no one knew.

In short, after those six people were killed, they disappeared. Although their bodies were still alive in reality, just like those who disappeared at Shadow's hands before, these few would starve to death in a few days in reality!

The unknown brings fear.

This made all ten North American guild leaders sit up straight.

Even the most ferocious gang guild leader from before didn't dare to show any disrespect towards Qin Feng now.

This was the deterrence brought by strength!

In fact, even if Qin Feng's strength was one level higher than theirs, they wouldn't be so apprehensive.

But the key was…

Qin Feng's strength was more than just one level higher than theirs!

There was also a voluptuous blonde beauty in a priestess robe who kept winking at Qin Feng during the banquet, but unfortunately, Qin Feng completely ignored her.

Finally…

After Qin Feng had been sitting for a few minutes.

The last participant finally arrived.

That was—Trembling Clown, Assassinger!

Scaredy Shack followed Qin Feng's orders and sent a Trembling Clown to negotiate here and participate in the 'Protection Fee' plan.

When the black figure with twisted limbs, holding dual blades, emerged from the darkness, accompanied by an eerie smile, everyone attending the meeting felt a strange and nervous sensation.

Nervousness was natural, this was an Epic BOSS!

And the strangeness was…

Since when could players and monsters sit at a round table to negotiate?

"For Shadow's sake, I'm negotiating with you. Don't be ungrateful, or I'll kill you all!"

Trembling Clown, Assassinger, was a tall, thin Trembling Clown.

He walked into the arena step by step.

If Qin Feng hadn't been there, the surrounding guild leaders would probably have been scared away.

Even so, watching the Trembling Clown approach, these guild leaders' hands trembled slightly.

Creak—

The Trembling Clown came opposite Qin Feng, extended a twisted arm, pulled out a chair, then sat down, even crossing his legs.

Qin Feng proactively threw out three light and shadow crystals.

"These can record the results of this meeting."

Qin Feng threw three light and shadow crystals to Stina, Dawn, and the Trembling Clown respectively, then said, "Let's begin. First, determine the price, then determine the method of execution."

In reality, Qin Feng's Protection Fee plan, though simple in theory, was quite difficult to implement.

At least, relying solely on one Trembling Clown, it would be impossible to manage and oversee so much information.

So this was Stina's role!

As for Dawn's presence, it was also useful, because an additional clause needed to be added to the Protection Fee plan…

Regardless of whether lifespan was paid.

Anyone who had killed players from the fourteen Great Xia guilds would be hunted down by the Trembling Clown!

This move was to protect the Great Xia players in Los Angeles who were temporarily unable to return home.

As for whether the people present agreed…

With Qin Feng present.

And a clown present.

Would they dare to disagree?
