Chapter 735: Seeking Advantages in Trouble

“Boss, the Tita Star is so rich. Isn’t only asking for 500,000 too generous?”

“Monkey, what do you know? Brother here has foresight. With this bodyguard mission, we will still eat well in the future. Besides, it’s not like the Tita Star will lack for assignments in the future.”

“But, that Heaven guy sounds like a real expert. I heard he’s a A-class criminal. Isn’t the risk too high?”

“Dog, if we were to take cases, it would definitely be S-class criminals. What’s an A-class? You’re too naïve. What Heaven, isn’t he just a scaredy-cat who doesn’t dare to show his face? If he did, we would finish him.”

“Haha, King Kong, you wouldn’t be thinking of doing him yourself, would you? With that tone of yours.”

“You lot just don’t know the appeal of guys. Maybe this Heaven is some petite young lad. The name already sounds so delicate, he must be firm and plump. If he falls into my hands, I’ll ensure he goes to heaven.”

The mercenary blustered loudly and coarsely, but his face was covered with makeup, his hands clasped in a comical Buddha pose. The mercenaries were used to it already, but the other customers were disgusted. Just one look at this bunch and they knew they were nobody to be messed with.

Just as he spoke, a terrifying scene ensued. The mercenary called King Kong still had a horrific grin on his face, but his entire head had flown off, spraying blood.

The entire bar had erupted into chaos. In the dark, a shadow was darting back and forth, as though dancing oblivious to the commotion. To an upbeat tune, the brains were sent flying one by one.

The world was finally quiet.

When Lan Ling heard the news, she was shocked as well. Mu Sen had an important opening ceremony at Menlo City, and he had to be present. That was why the mercenary group had been sent over first, and also for them to familiarize themselves with the environment. In the end, the 12 officers of the mercenary group had all been killed before Mu Sen had even reached. Each had their brains carved out.

It was a scene of no resistance.

At this moment, Lan Ling believed Wang Zheng’s words. This opponent was not someone that sheer numbers could overcome. Once they reached that level, normal people were like harmless lambs.

Mu Sen had never underestimated the humans. But previously, they had only seen witnessed the horror of a collective army, but he had not thought that an individual terrorist could develop to this level as well.

In these few days, Wang Zheng spent most of the time teaching Rara Durai and Shan Meng. Achilles was taking in the Tita Star situation with interest, as well as the current developmental needs. It was clear that the Moon was also fairly interested in this program, although Achilles had not made any requests. This was also the pride in the Moon people’s bones, as though they did not care about anything.

Lie Xin had beaten Rara Durai’s entire imperial guard soundly, and the giants finally understood why the humans always said that women were the demons.

Wang Zheng and Achilles also knew that something must have happened with Lie Xin. They wanted to ask, but did not know how to broach the topic. Wang Zheng could only let Shan Meng and the rest accompany Lie Xin to “let out her feelings”. It also helped to toughen up those guys.

In the meeting room, Jasper was a little restless. To a businessman like him, earning money was secondary. His life was more important. And businessmen were familiar with the underworld. The name of Heaven was well known. If he did not handle this well, his future business would be affected. More importantly, he did not know who the puppet master was.

He had also used his connections to check. Through this cooperation, the Tadinger group would definitely not give up on it. All he had done on Tita Star had given him many bonus points. As long as he could handle this program well, he could be in charge of the entire Tadinger group in the future. The rest would be unable to compete. Not just any heir from a large stakeholder could ascend. No one was willing to hire a professional manager, and one could only stand in the circle once they held their own authority.

“Brother Yan, is there any guarantee in this business? I heard that the Titan has been seriously wounded and cannot recover?” Jasper had returned to Lya Sphinx to manage the future investments, but had hurriedly rushed back after hearing this news.

Yan Xiaosu sucked in his stomach, which was indeed growing a little. “What’s your worry? It’s never easy to do great things. Who cares whether it will be heaven or hell? Even if a dragon makes its way here, we still have to hold ground.”

“Keke, Brother Yan, you might not know, but this Heaven is an elite killer even in the killer world. He has never failed a single contract before, and I hear that the mercenary group that Lan Ling hired has already been completely eliminated.”

Jasper drew a line across his throat.

“With that kind of cowardice, how do you even run a business? As long as your brain is working fine, there’s no need for worry. That mercenary group was just to fool the opponent. Isn’t it just an Earth Grade guy? Even if a Heaven Grade guy came, we still gotta make sure his journey is a one-way trip!”

Yan Xiaosu said calmly.

Yan Xiaosu’s words had again mollified Jasper. A professional speech. He had thought that Yan Xiaosu did not understand the opponent’s ability, but he apparently did not even see him as worthy of consideration…

“As for you, just focus on doing what you are told to. Don’t cry and fuss over everything. All will be well in a few days.”

Jasper had been used to this after the precedents. Each time things had seemed hopeless, Yan Xiaosu had always risen to the occasion. This had engendered great confidence in Jasper. He clearly knew how strong an Earth Grade was, and must have done his preparation.

But how could he prepare…

He also did not know. Once at this level, he could not simply be hired with money. The underworld had its own laws, just like them. But such a nucleus of power was not one that he could harness.

An Earth Grade expert… Could such people actually exist?

But one thing was for sure, was that the Titan was definitely fine, otherwise Yan Xiaosu would not be so calm.

“How do you see it?” Lie Xin asked while examining the corpses.

Achilles smiled slightly. “From this wound, it’s clearly not a blade, and also not pure energy. It looks like some very thin object, perhaps like a steel string.”

“Soft weapon.”

“This person is not only good at mecha, but his killing technique has been painstakingly refined. The effectiveness is very high.”

Achilles was not just an average student. Conversely, he had come into contact with such things from a young age, and had seen all kinds of killing techniques.

The thing was, the Lie family was the same. Even Lear – these ancient traditional families were not the kind to sit and grow potted plants.

Success lay at the end of a road of cruelty.

The 2 of them could basically imagine that, in an instant, more than 10 heads would be flying. The opponent’s ease and control over the entire battlefield was indeed intimidating.

Once in the Earth Grade, regardless of the person’s martial arts, the physical skills would be considerable.

“Do you think Wang Zheng has changed a lot?” Lie Xin suddenly asked a curious question.

Achilles nodded. “Ever since returning from the abyss, his aura has changed greatly. I think his cultivation technique must have had great improvement, although I have no idea which school he inherited his cultivation technique from. But I don’t think it is any weaker than ours.”

“Earth has always had many lines. That’s Lear’s biggest headache.”

“And you too. The change is big. I didn’t want to ask, but if you continue like this, the 3 of us are destined to die here.” Achilles said uncharacteristically.

Lie Xin looked at Achilles. “Lie Guang is dead.”

Without saying anything else, Achilles already understood. As a family with an ancient art, Lie Xin’s Lie Flame Technique had broken free of the bottle neck, and perhaps had come to more secrets. Only, he had not thought Lie Xin would be so direct. This must mean that Lie Xin herself could not accept it.

With the big battle imminent, Wang Zheng’s mood was unusually good. The recent imparting of the Primordial Regression Technique had left him especially happy as well, as though he could feel the danger.

Because Wang Zheng could already feel that the opponent had shown himself.

He was simply looking for a chance to strike. And the opponent must know of them as well. At that level, it was impossible to completely hide way, but Wang Zheng could only feel the opponent’s presence, and was unable to see more. This was the difference in their level.

But the opponent probably did not know that they knew of his presence, which was an advantage.

But all experts made the same mistake, which was to think that everything was within their control. And in such a repressive situation, Wang Zheng found the possibility to improve. From the start, Bonehead’s training methods had been uncommon. He had been forced into revelations when nearing death. In the Rubik’s cube, the idea of life and death did not exist. Now, they were outside the cube, but Wang Zheng could not change his own method of improvement. The more risky, the more his life was on the line, the more it was so.

And now, what Wang Zheng wanted was for Achilles and Lie Xin to protect the rest, while he went to face this Heaven alone.

Because he knew that this time, Heaven had not come alone.

He had to ensure that Ye Zisu and the rest were safe. To him, that would be the fatal thing.

One in the light, and one in the shadows. 2 killers. The opponent had indeed paid a heavy cost.

Elite Academy.

Lear had just come out of the mecha design lab. This was his super-class runic mecha. He would definitely be involved in the entire process. A customized mecha was like a second life.

He would use this holiday to master the networks of Elite Academy well. The mentors, the school administration, the students.

But this did not mean that his ears were not pricked. That Achilles and Lie Xin had gone to Tita Star, and at Wang Zheng’s behest, made Lear extremely unhappy.

Why?

Tita Star was now a troubled place. Honestly, Lear always wanted to persuade Achilles and Lie Xin to conquer the Solar System with him. Then, he could use the power as a fist to conquer the Milky Way. But Achilles and Lie Xin were of a different mind.

Tita Star was already chaotic enough. Then he would add fat to the fire. He would make sure they stayed there forever. He had heard the scenery was not bad there.

Since he could not use them, then he must seize the opportunity to eliminate them.

In Elite Academy, Lear saw a bigger world. And the hidden secret powers of the Chronos family had fanned the flames of Lear’s ambition. He ultimately believed that his own power was the nucleus. As the king, he did not need to take to the battlefield. He would use other methods to accomplish his aims.
