12:45 p.m.
The third quarter of the Wu hour.
An enormous bounty, unheard of in nearly six years, spread like a storm through all channels of [The Collection of a Thousand Evils]. The largest intermediary platform in the Sublimators' Dark Side World deducted a ten percent commission. Then, it conducted an all-region push in the eastern area of the Territory of Dongxia without holding anything back.
Death notices blanketed the sky. They transformed into pop-ups and short messages, appearing on the mobile phones of every registered person located in Dongxia, regardless of whether they were Sublimators, their place of employment, or who they were.
An even greater number of notifications weaved through the Darknet, radiating in all directions, delivering the high bounty announcement into the hands of every premium member.
Four hundred million US dollars!
