"What Pickpocket?" He Yunsong was confused and slightly dazed. "Did my phone get stolen?"
"Yeah, damn it. Before coming here, I was bumped into by some guy on the street. I was a bit furious at the time, but just to follow Hebrew, I didn't pay it any mind," Zuo Dun said gloomily. "Boss, what do you need the phone for?"
"That's exactly it. The timing is just about right. Hebrew had someone steal your phone and then called me to tell me to help collect your body."
Mo Ming said lightly, but he felt even more puzzled inside. What was Hebrew up to? It was truly hard to guess his intentions.
"Damn it, why is Hebrew making such a fuss?"
He Yunsong cursed loudly, feeling very confused by Hebrew's unnecessary actions. He could have just taken care of Zuo Dun first and then used his phone to call; did he somehow know there were people lying in wait inside?
He Yunsong's confusion mirrored Mo Ming's; everything seemed so redundant.
"I don't understand what he wants to do. As long as we find him quickly, all doubts will be cleared."
A fierce glint flashed in Mo Ming's eyes. Hebrew's intention to harm Zuo Dun made his already boiling anger reach a breaking point.
Suddenly, Mo Ming sensed someone outside the door and coldly said, "Who is it?" as he prepared to move.
A cold voice came from outside.
"Don't rush to act; it's me."
Then, a young man walked in, looking refined but with an unwavering determination in his eyes. His presence subtly exuded a sense of danger, and his expression was cold.
Judging by his age, he seemed to be in his early thirties—young yet emanating a dangerous aura that was quite remarkable.
"Was that person just now you?" Mo Ming squinted slightly, sizing up the young man before him.
"It’s me." The young man spoke with a tone that suggested he wanted to keep others at a distance.
He Yunsong immediately became alert and asked, "Who are you, and why did you save Zuo Dun?"
"Zuo Dun? I don’t know him. As for who I am, why should I tell you?" The young man lazily glanced at He Yunsong, filled with disdain.
"You think just because you saved Zuo Dun, I won’t hit you?" He Yunsong was somewhat furious; the anger of a man protecting his dignity flared up in response to the young man's contempt.
Mo Ming quickly intervened, expressionless as he addressed the young man, "Who sent you? Liufeng?"
Upon hearing this, the young man was clearly startled but remained cautious. "Who are you?"
"Let me guess your identity first," Mo Ming said confidently, "You are Lue, am I right?"
"Who exactly are you?" A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, but he did not directly answer Mo Ming's question.
The surprise that the young man thought he concealed well was caught by Mo Ming, further confirming his identity.
"Heh, from your expression, I see the answer I want. You are Lue," Mo Ming said with a faint smile. "Don’t be nervous; I’m not your enemy."
"I want your name!" Lue said coldly.
Mo Ming didn’t mind Lue's attitude or personality; a slight smile appeared on his lips as he replied, "Shura."
Shura!
Lue's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of shock. This name was one he often heard and constantly aspired to surpass—a legend.
"You are Shura?"
"Yes, I am Asura." Mo Ming nodded and said, "I visited the base before, but you weren't there. I never expected to see you here."
"Oh, I came out to carry out a mission," Rue replied emotionlessly.
"Liufeng sent you?" Mo Ming said lightly. "That guy is getting more and more presumptuous. But thanks to you, otherwise Zuo Dun would have met the King of Hell."
"No, he just asked me to keep an eye on Murong Lian," Rue shook his head and said. "This was my own decision. I noticed two people acting suspiciously, so I followed them and ended up here."
"Yang Yuan?" Mo Ming immediately thought of that name.
Rue shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I followed them outside and heard one of them being called Third Brother, and there was also the name Hebrew. I often hear Liufeng mention him, so I wanted to see how capable he is, which is why I hid."
"That must be Yang Yuan," Mo Ming nodded and asked, "Where is he now?"
"Yang Yuan?" Rue replied, "He left. I waited until Hebrew arrived before sneaking into the house after they left."
Rue noticed a flash of killing intent in Mo Ming's eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I thought that was Small Fish; Hebrew is the big catch. Besides, they are quite skilled. I wasn't confident in taking on both of them alone, so I had to let them go."
"No need to apologize. Compared to Hebrew, they are indeed Small Fish. However, you must be punished for acting on your own. As for what that punishment will be, it's up to Liufeng; I won't interfere," Mo Ming shook his head.
"Well, I'm prepared for the punishment," Rue said without a hint of surprise. He never intended to escape punishment; as long as he could spar with Hebrew, he felt any punishment would be worth it.
"Oh?" Mo Ming smiled slightly and said, "That's interesting. Aren't you afraid of being taken out by Hebrew?"
"I am afraid, but only by constantly sparring with stronger opponents can I improve," Rue admitted honestly.
He Yunsong chimed in with a smirk, "This guy really lives up to his name; he's quite the masochist! Always looking for someone to beat him up—self-torture at its finest!"
Rue ignored the sarcasm in He Yunsong's words and stated, "Improving my strength allows me to do anything."
"That's why those guys from Silver Wolf are not as good as you; they are not tough enough on themselves. Only by being ruthless can one tap into the endless potential within their body," Mo Ming said, somewhat appreciating the masochistic personality. "Someone like you is destined to be a top expert. I hope you can go far."
"I think I can," Rue replied, a glint of sharpness in his eyes. "Shura, one day I will challenge you, so wait for me!"
"Hehe, I've heard that many times before. I can wait for you, but first, you need to defeat Liufeng and his gang to qualify for challenging me," Mo Ming shrugged and smiled.
Rue nodded. "I know the rules."
"I think you can continue with the tasks assigned to you by Liufeng," Mo Ming's expression turned serious. "Protect her well and don't let anything happen to her; otherwise, you'll be the one to blame!"
Rue said nothing more and maintained his cold expression as he walked away.
He Yunsong watched Rue's disappearing figure and smiled at Mo Ming. "Boss, this guy is quite arrogant. Is he really someone even Silver Wolf can't defeat? His skills match his personality; I'd love to spar with him."
"Yeah, if given time, I think he could become a terrifying presence," Mo Ming nodded. "Let me arrange something for you; I want to see your true abilities."
Previously, Mo Ming had trained boxing with He Yunsong. Although they hadn't truly fought, Mo Ming could sense that He Yunsong had a solid foundation; otherwise, he wouldn't hold a position among the top three combatants of Little Green Society.
"Hehe, just joking, Boss. Please don't arrange anything; I want to live a few more years," He Yunsong chuckled.
Zuo Dun looked at He Yunsong disdainfully. "Yun Song, you're acting cute again. I don't believe your skills are lacking; you've learned so much from Fourth Master and Seventh Master. Who would believe you're not capable?"
"Come on, who’s acting cute? I'm just trying to avoid injuries; what's the point of fighting?" He Yunsong gave Zuo Dun the middle finger.
"You're just afraid of getting hurt. Your wife would be unhappy if she saw you like this, right? Hehe, I understand; no need to hide it," Zuo Dun patted He Yunsong's shoulder meaningfully.
He Yunsong quickly shook off his hand and rolled his eyes. "You little brat! You survived a great disaster just to make fun of me?"
"Alright, stop bickering. Let's leave here first; I need to find someone to handle the bodies."
Mo Ming took out his phone and dialed Ji Yue.
"Mo Ming, what's up? Do you need my help? You never call unless it's important," Ji Yue's cheerful voice came through.
Mo Ming rolled his eyes and said, "A smart woman can't find a husband. Aren't you afraid of being single, Captain Ji?"
"Mo Ming!" Ji Yue's voice immediately turned indignant. "Don't bring that up!"
"Hey, I'm just joking. Don't be mad. A beauty like Captain Ji must have admirers lining up from one end of the street to the other..." Mo Ming chuckled and quickly flattered Ji Yue.
He Yunsong and Zuo Dun exchanged disdainful glances at Mo Ming, but he didn't care and continued to laugh.
"Alright, alright. If you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up. I don't have time to chat with you," Ji Yue said, clearly annoyed.
Mo Ming quickly interjected, "Wait! I just need Captain Ji to help me handle a body. That should be fine, right? Just to clarify, I didn't kill anyone; I'm just trying to be a good..."
"Go to hell! I'll send someone to handle it. Give me the address and then get lost!"
Mo Ming replied cheerfully, "Understood! I'm leaving now. It's in the residential building on the fourth floor near Xia Yunling at Eastern Bank."
As soon as Mo Ming finished speaking, Ji Yue hung up, clearly very angry. A woman hates nothing more than being told she can't find a husband; it really gets on her nerves!
"Well, you've offended a woman now. Boss, don't you know what older women find most annoying?" He Yunsong chuckled.
Mo Ming asked cluelessly, "What is it?"
Zuo Dun and He Yunsong exchanged mischievous smiles.
"When relatives come to visit and there's no husband in sight!"
"Get lost, you bastards!" Mo Ming kicked the two guys, but they reacted surprisingly quickly and had already slipped downstairs.
...
Hebrew had vanished without a trace. After this incident, he would definitely be more cautious. Finding him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
However, He Yunsong and Yang Fan both sent people to help look for him, promising to inform Mo Ming as soon as they had any news. With the assistance of the Little Green Society, Hebrew's activities were greatly restricted.
Mo Ming couldn't do anything now and could only wait for news.
Strangely enough, Fuxi and Poisonous Madness still hadn't returned. Worried that something might have happened, Mo Ming called to inquire, but they just said to wait for a surprise!
Mo Ming didn't bother asking further; as long as nothing went wrong, they could do whatever they wanted. With Fuxi absent, Mo Ming stayed with Lin Yuan'er.
Murong Lian was being watched over, so Mo Ming felt relatively at ease. Even if Yang Yuan and Lingyun Tian wanted to approach Murong Lian, they would have to consider their own capabilities.
