In the southern part of the city, inside Lai Fu's inn.
A man in nightwear enters through the window.
Several people inside the house quickly bowed and said, "Captain!"
The person who entered was Captain Zhang Rui of the Battleaxe Adventure Team.
He nodded to the crowd and turned to the woman in nightwear in the shadowy corner, instructing, "Bell, be on guard."
"Yes," the woman responded before disappearing.
Then his words made Guliman feel a tightness in his heart: "Tom, Joe, use the props to recover, Good has already made a mistake."
"How could it be? My brother's teleportation should only be able to escape, how could he make a mistake..." She retreated in disbelief.
Zhang Rui saw Guliman looking very distressed, and felt a sense of joy in her heart. She stepped forward to support her, saying, "Don't worry, Good he has good fortune, and will definitely be able to escape."
The black-haired, blue-eyed fat man Joe Iggy timely flattered, "Right, when the captain ordered us to retreat, he left behind messages and arrangements. He will definitely be safe and sound."
"Um, I believe you," Guliman nestled in Zhang Rui's arms.
The soft, boneless black-haired girl in his arms exuded a hint of fragrance. Suppressing his restlessness, Zhang Rui cleared his throat and asked, "Where is Ada?"
Tom complained, "He's been missing since yesterday. He has a noble and exclusive profession, so we dare not inquire."
"Don't be like that," Guliman spoke up as the person closest to the ranger named Ada in the team, "He must have something important going on."
"Okay, I got it. I'll contact her through the team channel and hope she can come back before tomorrow to start the task. Otherwise, this mission will proceed without her."
Zhang Rui really dislikes people who are beyond his control, but for now, that girl is very close to Guliman, so it's not a good idea to offend her. When Guliman is under control, I'll deal with her slowly...
"No need, it's not necessary to waste the opportunity for team communication," came a cold female voice.
Everyone turned to look, and a woman in a cloak appeared at the door. Her slender figure was well-proportioned, barely visible even under the large cloak, and the shadow of the hood couldn't conceal her prominent nose.
I only saw her gently open her vermilion lips: "Zhang Rui Commander, I naturally have to listen to what you say. So, what's the plan for tomorrow?"
"Originally, everything was already arranged by me, but Good that guy is not reliable..." Zhang Rui deliberately glanced at Guliman, then changed the subject, "But it's okay, as long as Good can come back safely. As for the plan, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."
"Who?"
Zhou Dian paused,
[It's me, Huangpu Xin. The senior should be looking for Miss Zhong, notify Lord Zhongcheng, and come quickly! Shunfu Inn! Tian Room, must not reveal your whereabouts.]
"Okay." Zhou Dian glanced at the chaotic Zhong Jinyuan beside him, only to see two middle-aged bodies lying at his feet, with two younger relatives who had just thawed standing in front of him.
"They are all useless, useless! Decades of training, and they can't even defend against two Thousand Faces Alliance trash! They are truly more useless than trash!" Zhong Jinyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was so angry that he seemed ready to devour someone.
"Zhong, it hasn't been long. Let's seal off the city first," Zhou Dian advised.
Zhong Jinyuan dismissed his subordinates, ordered the city to be sealed off, and then took Zhou Dian to head towards Guardian City Array.
Zhou Dian conveyed, "Brother Zhong, don't panic, I already have a lead."
Zhong Jinyuan was also shrewd, almost with a gleam in his eyes, and forced himself to remain calm as he said, " brother Zhou, you may not know, but that villain was able to penetrate the protective array in my inner courtyard just now. He is probably a skilled individual, and if he has the ability to break the array, he may have already escaped outside the city. The Guardian City Array may not be able to stop him."
"However, Guardian City Array still has a role in seeking people, which is just right to use here."
Zhong Jinyuan and Zhou Dian quickly arrived at the core of Guardian City Array, which is the main hall of the the Zhong family's inner courtyard.
Zhong Jinyuan set up layers of formations and then spoke, " brother Zhou, have you noticed anything?"
Zhou Dian nodded, "I'm afraid my young friend has already found the treasure."
"Is this for real?" Zhong Jinyuan stood up in shock.
Then he looked skeptical and said, "Could this kidnapping incident be related to your little friend?"
"This person is intelligent and upright, and would not do such a thing," Zhou Dian said confidently.
"Alright, let's take the back road out. There may be a spy in the the Zhong family."
"Okay."
...
"You are...?!"
With a swoosh, the woman hidden in the shadows was cut into several pieces by Zhou Dian.
"Actually, there's no need to kill her. This organization has always been demanding of its subordinates. If the job isn't completed, it probably won't end well." Huangpu Xin sighed. He's quite easy to talk to, most of the time.
Zhou Dian, with a poker face, said, "Engaging in this kind of murderous business, one must be prepared to be killed."
"Indeed," nodded Huangpu Xin in agreement.
"One of them is his sister. I hope, senior, you can spare her life as much as possible," Huangpu Xin pointed to Good standing beside.
Good With a look of resentment, he originally thought that this blond child was just a Thick thighs, but unexpectedly, without saying a word, the other party listened to the situation of the adventure team and then shook hands. Now his sister's life is completely in the hands of two strangers.
Just looking at the complete lack of resistance in front of him, being cut into several pieces like a Bell, he understood that he had no way to resist, and even the resourceful Young master Zhang Rui couldn't escape the control of these people.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. Killing the members of the adventure team seemed like a good idea...
Zhong Jinyuan patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, we've already heard from Huangpu Xin that you were also forced into this. brother Zhou and I will do our best to rescue your sister."
Huangpu Xin has a shriveled mouth. He doesn't believe a word from this kind of old cunning guy.
Hey, it looks like the Zhong family can't stay...
"Hmm? Not good!" Zhang Rui's bead suddenly shattered, alerting him.
This is a Soul Bead. Everyone in the Battleaxe Adventure Team has formed a contract, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever someone is injured or dies, the Soul Bead will show some sign.
Now, Bell's soul orb shattered directly, obviously encountering an unexpected event. And the person who can make a stealth point reach the master level, died instantly without being able to send a distress signal.
The opponent is at least one to two levels higher than them, not an enemy they can resist.
"Go! At this point, don't worry about the girl or the teammates, just tear up a gold talisman."
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace. Tom and Joe were in the process of using props to recover, but they didn't react at all before being cut by a golden light.
"Ah!" Guliman screamed.
Ada then pulled out her crossbow.
As someone who used to fly solo like Good, she naturally didn't have the "escape ticket" like Zhang Rui, and now she's in trouble.
Huangpu Xin looked at the slowly gathering inn customers and the two people who had been counted as dead five years ago, and couldn't help but sigh at the power of the golden core.
"Is this the carefree Golden Elixir?" mumbled Huangpu Xin.
"Not exactly carefree, but seeking vengeance and repaying kindness is indeed true," Zhou Dian replied.
Huangpu Xin has a discerning eye and manipulates with the soul, putting the surrounding guests back to sleep.
"Let's talk after we get back." Zhong Jinyuan has regained his usual calm and kind demeanor since finding his daughter.
"Okay," Zhou Dian and Huangpu Xin responded.
Immediately, Zhou Dian wrapped everyone in a flag, and in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Dian and the others disappeared into thin air.
In no time, several people returned to the main hall of the inner courtyard of the the Zhong family, which was also the core of the city defense formation.
"Why didn't you let me kill her just now?" Zhou Dian asked Huangpu Xin.
Huangpu Xin smiled and said, "Do you want to avenge this kidnapping, senior?"
Zhong Jinyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Kid, do you have a way to help me deal with Liao Shisan?"
Huangpu Xin shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that I can handle it, but there shouldn't be a big problem in deceiving him into the game."
He turned and pointed at Guliman, saying, "Originally, I intended for his sister to go on this mission, but she has a weak character and probably wouldn't be able to handle it."
"So that's why you let me spare this woman's life," Zhou Dian looked thoughtfully at the woman named Ada.
Huangpu Xin nodded, "Exactly. We can do it this way... and then like this..."
Zhong Jinyuan lit up at the mention of Huangpu Xin's plan, even Zhou Dian, who wasn't very enthusiastic about the plan, nodded in agreement. After laying out the plan, Huangpu Xin looked at Ada and said, "This is the chance to save your life. What do you say?"
Ada said coldly, "You've laid out the entire plan, so I really have no choice."
"You really don't have a choice," Huangpu Xin shrugged.
Zhong Jinyuan looked at the three members of the Battleaxe Adventure Team again and said, " Huangpu Xin has brother Zhou vouching for him, so he's one of us. I don't trust the rest of you. Now, I'll give you two options."
"The first option is to plant the fishbone of the the Zhong family for you, and untie it after the job is done."
Ada frowned and asked, "What is a fish bone?"
Zhong Jiying had no good feelings towards the hired assassins, so he replied fiercely, "It's a proliferative substance inside the body of a demon beast, only found in demon beasts close to the crystallization stage. It's the size of a thumb. If ingested, without a special antidote, the bones in the body will proliferate infinitely within a day, eventually leading to death by bursting."
Zhong Jinyuan looked at the terrified Guliman and continued, "The second option is a contract to sell oneself. Once the contract is signed, the person belongs to our the Zhong family and won't have to suffer the fishbone punishment."
"It's not possible. We can't stay here. The organization has implanted a venom in our bodies. Once the mission is over, we must return. I choose the first option," Ada quickly made a decision. In the Main God Space, it's possible to spend points to heal and cure poison, but being bound by a contract is a different story.
Zhong Jinyuan looked at the hesitant Guliman and Good siblings and said, "You two don't have to be bound by any restrictions. Your sister can stay here, one less burden."
Good hesitated at first, then after some thought, reluctantly nodded.
