Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 591: Chapter 526: On Account Chapter 591: Chapter 526: On Account The bustling crowd moved through the streets.

The oppressive atmosphere of the Abyss was lessened, replaced with the liveliness of a modern city.

The neon lights on both sides of the street completely dispelled the dreary sky overhead, resembling the Sleepless City.

“Sir, interested in learning more?

Our machines are famously rewarding, and many of our regulars can’t stop praising them.”

Tao Yu arrived in front of a pachinko parlor named ‘Chaotic Era’.

Before entering, a beautiful woman wearing a black deep V swimsuit and genuine bunny ears approached him.

The deep V swimsuit was a bit tight, causing noticeable indentations next to the orbs, and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure; her appeal was quite extraordinary.

Through the transparent glass facing the street, one could see rows of people sitting in front of machines, each fully engrossed and showing different expressions.

A glance was enough to tell that the machines were loaded with Yuan Force metal.

Being able to boldly display so much Yuan Force metal without fear of theft or robbery also proved the strength of this establishment.

“Hmm, Miss Zhixin is still so diligent, coming out to pull in customers herself,” Tao Yu remarked, sniffing the faint scent of perfume in a raspy voice.

Then, he removed the mask from his face, revealing the visage of Teng Lianghong beneath.

In appearance, demeanor, and even ability, he matched perfectly.

Lin Zhixin, the local head of the Thieves’ Guild, failed to notice any flaw.

However, seeing “Teng Lianghong,” her coquettish smile briefly faltered before she chuckled and said,

“I didn’t expect Mr.

Teng to visit after such a while, please come inside.”

Then, Lin Zhixin made a welcoming gesture and led Tao Yu to the busy workroom of the pachinko parlor with a catlike walk.

Inside the hall filled with pachinko machines, everyone’s attention was fixed on the machines in front of them, oblivious to any movement behind.

Tao Yu casually followed behind Lin Zhixin, appearing very natural, as if he was a regular.

Using Teng Lianghong’s Dream Spirit Contact, it was simple to obtain routine information from the Thieves’ Guild.

How to communicate, what attitudes to demonstrate, and some basic knowledge were already understood.

Lin Zhixin was a powerful World Breaker and the head of the State Capital’s Thieves’ Guild.

She was also rumored to be the mistress of a local bigwig, which is why the Thieves’ Guild was nearly semi-public in the State Capital.

Ordinarily, buying regular information could be done directly at the front desk of the pachinko parlor where betting cards were sold.

The Thieves’ Guild would return a portion of the betting cards to the clients as a bonus.

The better the business of the pachinko machines, the better.

However, purchasing information directly from Lin Zhixin required certain qualifications.

As the number four figure in the Assassin’s League, Teng Lianghong clearly qualified, and the Assassin’s League was tightly integrated with the Thieves’ Guild.

Tasks that no one took were often passed on to the Assassin’s League.

Likewise, they reserved some high-quality tasks for the Assassin’s League.

But the two groups were non-subordinate, merely allies with closely entangled interests.

Once in the workroom, Lin Zhixin casually set aside the sign she carried, closed the door, and took out a Shielding Sphere to activate it.

Her demeanor shifted to something more languid as she lit a lady’s cigarette, crossed her legs, and sat on the desk.

“You have a big operation going on recently, is it wise to be moving around?”

“That operation depends on your information; we almost blew it last time.”

Tao Yu spoke calmly.

“Blew it?

You?”

Lin Zhixin raised her eyebrows, seemingly surprised.

She was aware of Teng Lianghong’s strength; though strong herself, she was no match!

“I now need some more detailed information…”

Tao Yu took out a card and slid it across the table directly under her thigh, casually flicking it with his finger.

Lin Zhixin didn’t mind the bold old man’s actions; she casually pulled the card—similar to a business card—closer, glanced at the information, and slightly raised her brow.

“Is it the Suns’ new ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’?

I recall it’s a young pup named Tao Yu.

Shi Di even blew it once.

I heard there was also a second-tier Inspector watching then.”

Lin Zhixin had clearly paid special attention to Tao Yu’s information, speaking off the cuff.

It wasn’t because Tao Yu was particularly good-looking.

Mainly, it was because the person was not only a World Breaker but also had the backing of the Suns.

Lately, in the Suns’ new Development Zone, there were indeed many treasures.

Once the information started circulating around the State Capital, numerous forces became interested.

When Tao Yu heard her mentioning himself directly, a strange sensation fluttered through his heart.

It was his topic of discussion to begin with, so the strangeness wasn’t in that.

Instead, it was the direct and pointed manner in which she mentioned him, giving him a vague sense of connection when he was right there.

This rather surprised Tao Yu.

He quickly pondered in his mind, was it feedback from Divination’s Spirituality?

It didn’t seem likely.

But he soon remembered some things Medici had told him.

The uniqueness of the Angel’s status!

Indeed, in the Mysterious World, Tao Yu had once developed a ritual of praying to himself, but that was just a backdoor method.

Now, it was purely the passive belief system of the Angel’s status.

Though far from being able to achieve what Adam did, in the same world, even precisely when she pointedly mentioned him, there indeed appeared some slight resonance.

However, Tao Yu quickly pushed this thought aside because, for the time being, it wasn’t of much use to him.

He quickly followed up on her words with a question,

“Oh, is the Inspector still around?”

Tao Yu was well aware that the palpitations from before were still vividly memorable to him, most likely a Catastrophe Level!

Not every Inspector was of Catastrophe Level, but those in the second district likely were.

They were probably responsible for overseeing the area where the Decaron family incident occurred.

“Yes, but Feng Te’s death isn’t related to him, likely framed opportunistically; it was just bad timing.”

“Who framed him?

Do you know?”

At this point, Tao Yu casually asked.

Gathering his own intelligence, casually inquiring about a few adversaries to see if there was any value to exploit wouldn’t seem abrupt!

“I haven’t looked into specifics, but only two or three families with the motive and power to do so are at odds with the Decaron family.

Why, is the Assassin’s League considering hiring external help?

Was his strength great?”

Lin Zhixin’s beautiful eyes shifted, somewhat surprisedly inquiring.

“He was indeed very strong; I wasn’t able to kill him with one strike.”

Tao Yu did not go into detail, didn’t mention any lack of confidence, and then waving it off as himself leaving; as a professional intelligence operative, she would have her own assumptions and judgments.

“You didn’t kill him with one strike?

Were you not confident in killing him?”

Lin Zhixin voiced her astonishment.

“He’s only had his Talent awakened for two years…”

To become a World Breaker in only two years, coming from a rather ordinary family background, must surely be a combination of fortuitous encounters and the backing of influential figures.

Ability, luck, support from the influential—none could be missing!

Ordinary World Breakers couldn’t withstand a strike from Teng Lianghong, and even if they did, it wouldn’t make him doubt his ability to kill.

It must be so, to avoid blowing his cover, thus he had to let go.

“You’re probably too cautious; surviving one strike doesn’t mean he can escape your assassination.”

Lin Zhixin still seemed somewhat skeptical, but Teng Lianghong was indeed known for his cautiousness, and his recent major actions being stable was also typical.

“The forces that killed Feng Te before, mainly among the Heaven Water Wu Family, Fire Ox Yue Family, and Maple Leaf Family—these three forces.

Likely it was someone with power similar to mine who acted, crafted the scene, and left before the Inspector arrived.”

Lin Zhixin then shared some conjectures based on the intelligence they had gathered.

“This intelligence comes at a cost, ha, directly billed to your account.”

“Sure, add a few more items as well, all on the account…”

Such good fortune was naturally something Tao Yu wouldn’t shy away from.

The Assassin’s League and the Thieves’ Guild shared common roots; coming this way for some help was only natural…@@novelbin@@
