Chapter 90: Arrival! Rampage (Thanks to Linghan Shu, PARKOUR, and Mujiang Yi for the reward support)_1
At dusk.
The Bronze Association, in the hills behind.
With dust whirling around, Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang continued to spar.
“Truce! Truce! Damn, I can’t beat you anymore,” Tang Huoyang gasped, taking a step back with his arms covered in red marks, and said with a baffled expression, “How exactly do you train? It feels like your strength is getting stronger and stronger.”
Pei Jinye stretched his limbs, “Not too bad. Oh, I won’t be coming to the guild these next few days. The school is preparing some special training for me.”
Tang Huoyang was taken aback but he understood, “Is the principal of your No. 2 Middle School still King Old Man?”
“He is.”
“The old man was a war hero back in the days.”
Pei Jinye was startled, “He’s still a war hero?”
Tang Huoyang whispered, “Over forty years ago, there was the Eight Kings Battle in Western Continent. King Old was one of the participants and he obtained the Federation’s second-level war hero medal. If I’m not wrong, there’s also a big shot with the last name Chu in the Education Department who was once his subordinate.”
“I know that.”
“Sigh, it’s going to be boring here without you,” said Tang Huoyang as he sat on the sandy ground, somewhat listless.
Pei Jinye said with a chuckle, “It’s not like I’m leaving Da Peng City. We can still meet up and spar whenever we have time.”
Tang Huoyang was startled then laughed foolishly, “That’s true, haha, alright, we can schedule a time later. Speaking of which, don’t forget to pick up the Blood-red Carp from the cafeteria before you leave. Wei Xia lost four Blood-red Carps, and apart from his own loss, the Wei Family spent quite a bit of money and bought three more to deliver here.”
Pei Jinye nodded his head.
Getting another Blood-red Carp was an unexpected delight.
But he just smiled and did not take it seriously.
After all, Tang Huoyang’s physical body’s defense was like a ready-made human-shaped punching bag for him.
His control over Vitality and his use of “Quake” could be perfectly executed on this human-shaped punching bag.
“Buzz buzz!”
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
Pei Jinye’s face changed slightly.
It was the secret cell phone.
He had clearly turned it off… and now it had been forcibly switched on!
The feeling of being watched by a pair of eyes in the dark sent a fierce killing intent surging in Pei Jinye’s heart.
The other party was playing with fire!
When Tang Huoyang went to take a shower.
Pei Jinye finally had the chance to unlock the phone.
Heavenly Calculation: “Sorry Demon King, I can only reach out to you this way against the rules, but we really need you now. Black Shark is requesting approval from higher-ups, I hope you can set aside our previous conflicts and prioritize the bigger picture.”
Pei Jinye looked at the phone calmly, silent.
The other party didn’t keep sending new messages either.
This silence was like an invisible standoff.
Pei Jinye typed quietly, “Where are you now?”‘
It seemed like Heavenly Calculation breathed a sigh of relief: “I’m in the secret house.”
Pei Jinye typed with an expressionless face, “Are you alone?”
Heavenly Calculation didn’t sense anything amiss with the question and quickly replied, “Silver Art is here too, Red Rose and Tai Yuan are on their way. If you come, you can wear an earpiece and I’ll directly transmit the combat plan to you…”
The phone vibrated again.
A message from Black Shark came through: “Demon King, approved by our superiors, you will join us in the operation. Once the mission is over, you can confirm this matter personally with the Elder. Time is critical, and I won’t elaborate further now. The specific combat plan will be communicated to you by Heavenly Calculation.”
Pei Jinye remained calm, switched over to Heavenly Calculation’s chat page, and replied with two words: “Wait for me.”
Heavenly Calculation: “Okay.”
Just as Tang Huoyang finished his shower and was wiping his dripping hair with a towel, he looked bewilderedly at Pei Jinye who was standing still, “What’s wrong, you look so pale?”
Pei Jinye looked up and smiled, “Not at all.”
He opened the wardrobe door, pondering.
What was Heavenly Calculation’s Extraordinary Ability again?
It seemed pretty good…
Before long, Pei Jinye changed into a new gear, contacted Tang Yulou to induce hypnosis in advance, politely declined the invitation to stay for dinner, avoided the cameras, changed his face several times, and first went back to his rented apartment.
After stuffing the mask and grenades into his bag and grabbing the Titanium Knife, Pei Jinye suddenly turned back and took out a Blood Spirit Fruit from the secret cabinet and sealed it in a small wooden box.
For blood replenishment, just in case.
After leaving his home for a distance, he then contacted Heavenly Calculation.
“I am Demon King.”
The next second, Heavenly Calculation’s voice came through the earpiece, “Demon King, Black Shark and the others have already moved. Please rush to the West Suburb immediately, I’m sending you the coordinates (35.45). The mission objectives for this operation have been sent to your backend, and I will now give a brief introduction to the targets of this operation…”
Pei Jinye listened quietly.
Standing at the corner of the street, looking at the surveillance camera not far away, he couldn’t determine if Heavenly Calculation had hacked these cameras, but this had already aroused a murderous intent in his heart.
If the other party used the surveillance to identify him, they could easily find out his whereabouts… even his real situation and his family background.
More importantly, had the other party informed anyone else?
Mask on, Pei Jinye sighed lightly in his mind.
“Why do you insist on forcing me to kill you?”
Carrying the knife, he moved silently in the shadows, quickly heading to the destination.
“I’m here,” Pei Jinye whispered from the shadows of the mountain forest, calmly observing the messy traces on the small path in the woods, “Someone has been here…”
He pondered the words of Director Chu from earlier in the day.
