Chapter 1079: A Misunderstanding?

Chapter 1078: A Misunderstanding?

Just as Zhang Heng was looking around the second floor for the woman in the black tennis uniform, the latter reappeared behind the counters. As she reached out to pick up a black magnet from the floor and placed it back into her pocket, she allowed it to be sucked into another white magnet.

She then squatted down and tried her best to make no sound as she walked along the counter. First, she saw the bathroom sign. When she walked in, however, she realized that there was only one exhaust fan connected to the outside. The woman in the black tennis uniform moved a trash can and stepped on it. She looked outside and found that it was an open parking lot.

Under such circumstances, the parking lot would have a passage leading directly into the mall. In other words, as long as she found this passage, she could quickly leave the parking lot. This was not difficult for the woman. In fact, when she came out of the washroom, she walked to six more shops, and on her right was a fire escape that led to the parking lot.

The woman in the black tennis uniform hastened her pace, knowing that she had little time left. As long as Zhang Heng was not stupid, he should be able to find the surveillance room of the mall soon. From there, he could easily get situational awareness of the mall. Clearly, she needed to leave before that happened.

The fire escape was also locked, but it wasn’t a problem for the woman. She took out the key from before, and the results were similar to the main entrance. The key in her hand started to automatically adjust its shape when it was inserted into the lock, easily opening the door in front of her and enabling her direct exit into the parking lot.

She then calculated the time. Zhang Heng had probably just discovered the location of the surveillance room and was on his way there. As long as she ran past the last fifty meters, she would be able to leave the parking lot.

However, to the woman’s surprise, Zhang Heng didn’t even bother looking for the surveillance room. Instead, he climbed up to the rooftop of the shopping mall. At that moment, he was standing on the rooftop and looking down.

Almost all shopping malls had doors and passageways connected to the outside, making it difficult to tell which door the target would leave by once she was lost. Furthermore, game items still existed globally, and Zhang Heng had an item that could melt the walls in his hands. Hence, he didn’t try to guess where the woman in the black tennis uniform would leave. After all, no matter where she left from, she would have to come out the mall’s main exit, and he could clearly see her from the rooftop.

Of course, even so, most people wouldn’t choose to climb up to the rooftop at this time. After all, it would take a long time to catch up to her, then descend from the roof. Then, once he left the mall, the target would probably have already run off somewhere.

This was, however, a non-existent problem for Zhang Heng.

He saw the woman in the black tennis uniform crossing the parking lot. The next moment, he jumped down from the rooftop. As his body fell, a pair of shadowy black wings on his back spread out.

The woman in the black tennis uniform only felt a black shadow pass over her head. When she looked up, however, she saw nothing strange in the air. She thought that she was too nervous and must be hallucinating. I the end, just as she ran out of the parking lot, she bumped into someone.

The woman in the black tennis uniform took a few steps back. When she regained her balance, she realized that the person she had bumped into was none other than Zhang Heng.

However, she could not understand why Zhang Heng would magically appear in front of her half a minute ago when he was still in the mall, not to mention that she had been very careful along the way and had paid extra attention to her whereabouts. She wasn’t exposed until she walked out of the parking lot.

“Actually, you don’t have to worry. I just have something to ask you,” Zhang Heng said.

“What is it?” The woman in the black tennis uniform asked warily.

“I know that you and your sister are currently in a competition, and you should be aware of her physical condition.”

“Yes, that’s right. I know that she doesn’t have much time left to live, so what do you think? As her sister, should I give in to her ?” The woman in the black tennis uniform raised the corners of her lips and a mocking smile appeared on her face.

In response, however, Zhang Heng shook his head. “You should have your own reasons for wanting to become Loki’s agent, so there’s no reason for you to give in for your sister. I’m not here for the competition between the two of you. The reason I’m here is to ask you for a small favor. Tell me where Loki is, or if there’s any way to contact him.”

The woman in the black tennis uniform had a strange expression on her face. “You’re asking me where Loki is?”

“You’re his agent, so of course I have to ask you this.”

“Are you making fun of me? Oh, I see. No wonder you men are always the idiots who get fooled. Is that what my dear sister told you? That I won the competition?”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Heng frowned.

“If you didn’t fall so hard for my sister’s charms, someone who has nobody at all, why didn’t you use your brain and think about why I went to the hospital to look for her tonight? Was it to consolidate the fruits of my victory? Or was it to make some kind of declaration in front of her as the winner?” The woman in the black tennis uniform sneered.

“Are you saying that she’s actually the winner of this competition? But you used your supernatural power to get rid of me in the mall just now, right?”

“What else? As for my supernatural power… about a week ago, Loki had already taken back the power he gave me. Those tricks in the supermarket were only thanks to the items I had,” the woman in the black tennis uniform said as she took out a key and two magnets from her pocket. She waved her hand in front of Zhang Heng before continuing.

“The three major guilds haven’t been able to do anything to me before. If I still had my ability to disguise myself, how could you have caught me so easily? What do you think? Are you starting to think that my sister isn’t as innocent as she appears to be? If you want to hear more about her, I can tell you more of her story. I guarantee you you’ll be shocked. No one in this world understands her better than I do. After all, the two of us have a telepathic connection.”

However, Zhang Heng, who was standing across from the woman in the black tennis uniform, remained unmoved after hearing her words. He only uttered a few simple words.

“I believe her.”

After a pause, Zhang Heng continued, “I’ve known your sister for quite some time now, so I know what kind of person she is. Therefore, you’d better put away that little trick of yours to sow discord. However, from the looks of it, some misunderstanding might’ve really broken out between the two of you this time.”
