Chapter 029: The Black-Hearted Boss

In Wang Bo's view, he had no need to lie.

Whether Goenitz chose to believe him or not, Wang Bo would still send him back. Even if the other wanted to resist, he was no match for Wang Bo.

Goenitz of the Storm might be a notable figure in the world of King of Fighters, but in Wang Bo's eyes, he was nothing.

So Wang Bo truly had no reason to lie to Goenitz and lower his own dignity.

After much deliberation, Goenitz decided to believe Wang Bo. First, because his intuition told him Wang Bo wasn't lying; second, because he had no way to return to his original world.

He had been in this world for about a year, and during that time he had searched for countless possibilities.

But there was no method that could allow him to return to his former world.

So Goenitz could only trust Wang Bo.

"What do I need to do to return to my original world?" Goenitz asked cautiously.

Wang Bo took out a dimensional ring and handed it to Goenitz. "Put this on, and you can return to your original world."

Goenitz was somewhat surprised, but at the same time grew more vigilant. "I don't need to pay any price?"

Wang Bo countered, "Did you pay any price to come to this world?"

Goenitz shook his head.

Wang Bo clapped his hands. "There you go. You didn't need to pay a price to come, and you don't need to pay one to go back. That's my job."

Goenitz looked at the dimensional ring in his hand. "Then what is this?"

"A locator," Wang Bo said. "After you go back, this thing will activate, and I'll know whether you've returned."

His words were ambiguous. Goenitz nodded thoughtfully, though it was unclear whether he believed him.

In the end, he put on the dimensional ring.

Wang Bo smiled and patted Goenitz on the shoulder. "Safe travels."

"Thank you."

The next second, Goenitz vanished.

He was sent back to his original world by Wang Bo, who once again earned a chance to draw a lottery.

But Wang Bo did not leave the church immediately; instead, he waited for something.

About ten minutes later, a circular portal opened inside the church. On the other side of the portal was the rooftop of a tall building. Wang Bo stepped through the portal and onto the rooftop, where he found the dimensional ring lying quietly on the ground.

As for the ring's owner, Goenitz, there was no trace of him.

Wang Bo picked up the dimensional ring and couldn't help but laugh.

"What a cautious guy."

He could now be certain that Goenitz had always been highly wary of him and was extremely suspicious of the dimensional ring.

So when Goenitz returned to his own world, he casually tossed the ring onto this rooftop and walked away.

He didn't want to wear the ring and let Wang Bo know his location.

He remained fully vigilant toward this man, because his intuition told him that Wang Bo was a very dangerous man.

But what Goenitz didn't know was that after he discarded the ring, it automatically activated a moment later, opening a passage to the Gantz world. That was how Wang Bo came to the King of Fighters world.

Of course, that was also Wang Bo's intention.

He had taken a liking to this world.

How to describe the King of Fighters world? It was a relatively peaceful world.

True, this world had many fighters and a variety of bosses—Rugal, Goenitz, Orochi, the NESTS organization, Igniz, and so on.

But these bosses mostly targeted fighters and didn't involve ordinary people much.

Unlike worlds like One-Punch Man, where monsters roamed everywhere and cities were destroyed at the drop of a hat; Inuyasha, set in the Sengoku period, full of slaughter; Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, with yokai appearing and night processions of a hundred demons; or Strike the Blood, where demons, beastmen, and vampires ran rampant.

In the King of Fighters world, as long as you didn't become a fighter or attend the KOF tournament, you were basically safe from danger.

So when Wang Bo encountered Goenitz, he planned to go to this world, set up a dimensional gate there, and maybe use it someday.

That's why Wang Bo vaguely told Goenitz that the ring was a locator to track his position.

Goenitz, being a man of great ambition, naturally wouldn't want someone to be able to find him anytime.

Therefore, Wang Bo thought it highly likely that Goenitz would discard the ring. There was also a chance he might try to destroy it, so Wang Bo deliberately reinforced the ring.

Given Goenitz's strength, destroying the ring would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

So in the end, Goenitz could only throw the ring away.

And as it turned out, Goenitz lived up to expectations—he did discard the ring.

Thus, Wang Bo used the ring to come to the King of Fighters world.

The first thing Wang Bo did upon entering the King of Fighters world was to find a place to settle down. He had already determined that he was still in Tokyo.

So Wang Bo went to a real estate company and purchased a luxury mansion in Ginza.

Interestingly, this mansion was in the same building as the one Wang Bo had bought in the Gantz world.

However, the decoration of the mansion in the King of Fighters world was far inferior to that in the Gantz world, but that couldn't be helped—it was only 1995 in this world.

Although Goenitz was the big boss of 1996 in the King of Fighters world, he didn't just pop out of nowhere.

He was born of parents.

So it was normal for it to be 1995, but time was running out for Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, because in another year, Goenitz would officially appear.

Of course, that didn't have much to do with Wang Bo.

After purchasing the mansion, Wang Bo placed the dimensional gate in the study, connecting it to the Lonely Mountain in Middle-earth.

Then, Wang Bo cast a spell on the room.

Even if he wasn't there, no thief could break in.

Afterward, Wang Bo returned to the Lonely Mountain through the dimensional gate, and from that transfer point, he went back to the Gantz world.

"Are there any more transmigrators in this world?"

Wang Bo sat on the sofa and asked his cheat system.

[No more. The last transmigrator in this world has been sent away by you. You can now leave this world anytime and go to the next one.]

"The next world is the Marvel world, right?"

Wang Bo hadn't forgotten that he was severely injured on his way to the Marvel world and had to come to this world to take refuge and complete the mission.

But in Wang Bo's view, taking refuge was incidental; completing the mission was the main thing.

Damn cheat system, a perfect example of a black-hearted boss.

[The next world is not the Marvel world. While you were taking refuge, I have already dispatched other hosts to handle matters in the Marvel world.]
