Twenty minutes later.

The Manor.

“Fool!” Mr. Sang, dressed in a Tang suit, nearly jabbed his finger into Lin Jun’s nose in rage, “Why couldn’t you contact me? Why?”

“The place was electronically shielded, and later my mobile phone was smashed during the fight…” Lin Jun was wrapped in bandages. Although he was skilled with a knife, having been ‘kissed’ directly by two high-explosive grenades, he was lucky to have half of his hair left.

The middle-aged man in the Tang suit was too angry to care about his explanation and slapped the table furiously, “Then why didn’t you think to leave the building and call me? Now Sun Ku has been taken away, and our data has likely been leaked, you fool!”

“My apologies, Mr. Sang. But my driver did mention seeing another me, I suspect Huan Ling has appeared.” Lin Jun hastily changed the subject.

“Huan Ling!” Mr. Sang squinted his eyes, and his rage seemed to subside slightly at the mention of Huan Ling, but he still scoffed, “Our undercover agents haven’t spotted Huan Ling in the Old Gods Association. Are you sure it was him in person?”

“That…I can’t be certain, but who else in Da Peng City could possess such Extraordinary Abilities if not Huan Ling?” Lin Jun hesitated before speaking.

Mr. Sang sighed softly, “Up until now, we still don’t know who Huan Ling is really working for, but the pressing matter at hand is we must find Sun Ku! They couldn’t have gone far… The Night Patrol Department has already accepted our request. Next, you’ll go into hiding, ensuring our affair doesn’t come to the Municipal Governor’s attention. Use your brain in all matters, and if you’re unsure, ask for guidance.”

“Yes, I will take this to heart!”

Before entering the secret room, Pei Jinye carefully reviewed his actions for the evening.

After confirming there were no omissions or flaws, he grasped the doorknob.

[Biometric information confirmed, please enter.]

The door opened.

Inside, Silver Art, who was attending to an injured person, immediately stood up and said, “Demon King, I knew you’d come back!”

Pei Jinye nodded, “What happened here?”

He saw Tai Yuan missing half his arm and was stunned.

“It was Lin Ye. Tai Yuan defied belief and confronted him head-on during a furious strike. If he didn’t have a mechanical body, he’d probably be completely gone this time,” said Red Rose from the side.

“Is this Lin Ye so strong?” Pei Jinye tensed internally.

He had underestimated this Thirteen Protector of Heaven God.

“So you see, you were lucky too. If you had encountered Lin Ye instead of that dim-witted Lin Jun tonight, your chances of escaping wouldn’t have been certain.”

Black Shark walked in.

His words drew sidelong glances from everyone.

Pei Jinye looked over as well.

Black Shark’s arm was bandaged, but he kept his loss of Vitality well concealed.

“Injured?” Pei Jinye spoke gravely, “Is Lin Ye that strong?”

Black Shark smiled as though pleased with completing his mission, “It’s not entirely because of Lin Ye. We mistakenly struck one of their secret bases, which drew out five Guardians. If it weren’t for your quick completion of the mission, given the skirmish at the time… it would’ve been difficult for us too.”

Pei Jinye fell into thought.

If Black Shark’s team could escape encirclement by five Heaven God experts without casualties, Black Shark himself was hiding his true capabilities!

Pei Jinye grew wary within.

At that moment, Silver Art eagerly said, “When can we take them down?”

Black Shark chuckled lightly and shook his head, speaking earnestly, “Heaven God is stronger than we thought and very well-hidden… I’ve already reported this to headquarters; it’s not our concern anymore. Furthermore…”

He looked around at everyone.

He spoke gravely, “You’ve all done well this mission. We were highly praised by the higher-ups. There shouldn’t be much happening for a while, so everyone get some good rest… Heaven God has just suffered a major ambush and is sure to be furious. Keep a low profile with your public identities and try not to draw attention.”

Everyone nodded.

Black Shark asked Pei Jinye to stay behind, “Old Demon, by order of the higher-ups, you and I are of equal rank. You didn’t have to join this mission; I’m touched you did.”

“Speak plainly.”

Pei Jinye’s brevity elicited a light chuckle from Black Shark, “As direct as ever. Here’s the deal: after your upgrade, you’ll get a 20% increase on merit points. Also, do you need any manpower?”

Pei Jinye, upon hearing this, immediately became alert and said indifferently, “That’s not necessary, my current identity should not be exposed too much, one Silver Art is enough.”

Seeing this, Black Shark smiled gently, “Alright then, just let me know if you need anything.”

“Mm. Is there anything else?” Pei Jinye looked over.

Black Shark kept his gentle and refined demeanor, “No more, I wish you sweet dreams tonight.”

Pei Jinye opened the door and left the secret room.

In the hallway.

Silver Art was leaning against the wall with his head resting on the surface, looking just like a student waiting after school for a classmate who was in detention.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head and immediately hopped over.

“Demon King, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“You’re so awesome, actually able to lure Lin Jun away.”

Seeing this, Pei Jinye just smiled faintly, “It’s not that I’m amazing, it’s that the other side is too foolish. By taking advantage of this, I was able to successfully attract his attention.”

“How did you get out in the end?”

“I left through the main entrance…..”

The two talked as they walked away.

Behind the door of the secret room.

Black Shark stood with his back to the door, listening as the sound of their conversation gradually faded away.

“No wonder he’s valued by the Elder, this Demon King is quite smart…..”

After leaving the secret room.

As usual, Pei Jinye did not take the nearby light rail.

He was planning to cross over to the neighboring district to take the light rail but unexpectedly encountered an open-air truck on the road, into which he flashed and hopped into the open cargo bed.

After confirming that he had left the area where the secret room was located, he then jumped off the truck and went around to Hibiscus Lane to take the light rail.

10:45 PM…..

Pei Jinye waited for the last light rail of the night.

The deserted platform was left only with the echo of the wind after he departed.

The news broadcast was on the projection TV on the light rail train.

“…Breaking news, Sky God International suffered two cross-district attacks tonight, and the Municipal Governor has criticized them harshly, strongly denouncing the heinous acts of certain individuals… It is estimated that Sky God International will suffer a loss of up to 37 million Star Coins…”

The few passengers on the train, after seeing this, expressed their sympathy for Heaven God.

But Pei Jinye remained calm.

If one has not personally experienced the filth beneath the beauty, who would believe it?

He did not deny that some actions by the Old Gods Association were indeed reckless towards human life, but Heaven God was of the same ilk, just better at dressing up in a disguise.

The news broadcast was interrupted by a train advertisement.

Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze and looked outside the window at the starkly contrasting scenes of life.

Half was night, and half was the glamorous neon lights.

Before getting off the train.

Unexpectedly, Tang Huoyang, deviating from his usual behavior, sent a communication message to Pei Jinye.

[Old Pei, have you gone to bed? Is it convenient to talk on the phone now?]
