The young man nodded in response to the young operative, who was about to load all the contraband onto the vehicle when suddenly gunfire erupted.
Silenced, yet the sound was unmistakable.
The young operative rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the shots, and drew his sidearm, âAre you looking for trouble!â
From the shadows, a squad approached.
And when the lights came on, revealing each party, both sides simultaneously thought of an expletive.
On T18âs side, the blonde youth took a deep breath, âWhy is it always you guys?â
The officer retorted, ââ¦Shouldnât I be the one saying that?!â
Though they had prepared to encounter T18, following them was part of their mission.
But who could have anticipated running into the same group every time?
âSo, tracking us again?â the blonde youth sneered, âCanât Zero do their own investigation?â
The officer matter-of-factly replied, âWhy should we when youâre already on
âBrave words,â the blonde youth nodded, âIf it werenât for the orders to avoid bloodshed this time, I would have taken you in today.â
The officer coldly said, âCoincidentally, we were also instructed to achieve our goals without violence.â
After a brief exchange, they started to negotiate.
âYou two, me eight.â
âWhy donât you go rob someone? We got here first, you three, me seven.â
âYouâre tracking us and still want more? Fine, you four, me six.â
âNo way, fifty-fifty, canât go lower.â
The contraband was eventually divided equally and taken by both parties.
After reporting to Yuejian, she tapped her earpiece.
A manâs deep voice answered, âHello?â
âWe lost half the goods to them,â Yuejian explained, âYou know Zero isnât easy to mess with, and I have no interest in conflict with them, especially since Iâm just a frail countess.â
The man: â .
After a few seconds, he slowly said, âYou can drop the act now.â
âIâm serious,â Yuejian took off her high heels, holding them in her hand, âThey also had orders from above this time, and I didnât want to run into their chief.â
âOh?â The manâs interest peaked, âI recall youâve met their chief before.â
âHmm, he wore a mask, couldnât see his face,â Yuejian recalled, âBut he had a strong presence.â
The man paused, âItâs rare for you to say that.â
Besides his junior sister and master, now thereâs Zeroâs chief.
Just as Yuejian was about to say more, static noise interrupted the call.
Clearly, the signal was being jammed.
Yuejian grew frustrated, âThatâs it, hanging up. Donât contact me; I donât want to be eavesdropped on.â
The call ended.
She looked around and re-entered the club.
Si Fuqing handed Hilton over to Shang Lu to take back, then returned to the venue.
With the leaders dealt with, there were still others to handle.
This time, Tianle Media would be utterly crippled.
Si Fuqing leaped from the balcony, circling the corridor.
Suddenly, she halted.
Approaching her was a woman in a court dress.
Si Fuqing slightly lowered her head, her fingers subtly clenched, her eyelashes fluttering.
She expected T18 to send someone, but not her third senior sister in person.
Witch of the Night excelled at disguise, often using her real face.
Yuejian herself was stunning.
But her beauty was like poison in honey, lethal upon touch.
Under such circumstances, they met.
For her, it might have been less than a year, but for Yuejian, it was three months.
Si Fuqing nodded to Yuejian, unguarded and without concealment.
She wasnât afraid of being recognized by Yuejian.
Even with a different face, Yuejian wouldnât recognize her due to severe prosopagnosia.
Once, many handsome young men sought Yuejian, only to be unrecognized by her.
Yuejian halted, her smile fading as she fixed her gaze on the girl.
An unfamiliar face she had never seen before.
She did have severe prosopagnosia, recognizing people by other features, not faces.
Butâ¦
Yuejianâs brows furrowed, feeling an unusual disturbance.
Her evolved abilities naturally activated.
For the first time, she doubted, overwhelmed by noise and dizziness.
Her bodyâs energy surged uncontrollably.
Yuejian groaned, leaning against a wall, crouching in pain.
Si Fuqingâs expression shifted.
She had never seen Yuejian like this.
Hesitating, Si Fuqing returned to her.
Crouching, she supported Yuejianâs shoulders, âMadam, are you alright?â
âCrack! â
In an instant, her wrist was grasped firmly.
Yuejianâs grip was strong, leaving bruises.
Si Fuqingâs expression remained unchanged, whispering, âMadam, should we visit a hospital? Iâll call an ambulance.â
Knowing her third senior sisterâs level wasnât stable, usually above A but sometimes reaching S.
Class S evolved beings were beyond âhuman,â their genetic evolution reaching a terrifying state.
They possessed boundless potential, almost immortal.
But Class S beings were the most dangerous. If a Class A energy surge was a âdisaster,â
Especially Yuejian, a psychic evolved being, meant higher levels of destruction.
They needed to leave immediately.
Ignoring the pain in her wrist, Si Fuqing carried Yuejian, quickly exiting the club.
After several streets, they reached an abandoned parking lot.
She set Yuejian down.
Awakening this time, she hadnât considered her evolving being abilities still remained.
Until the Sea Tornado incident revealed her evolving abilities were still present, albeit weak.
Few evolved beings could perfectly conceal their energy; her master was one.
So, she learned the same method.
Aside from Yu Xiheng, no one knew she was an evolved being.
âMadam, please calm down,â Si Fuqing soothed Yuejian, âCan you relax?â
Minutes later, Yuejian gradually calmed, her complexion pale, her grip tightening.
Finally, she stared at Si Fuqing, slowly asking, âLittle Nine?!â
