Chapter 691
Chapter 691: Chapter 624 Kidnapping Chapter 691: Chapter 624 Kidnapping “Thank you for the information; today was quite fruitful.”
Tao Yu stood up and reached out her hand to pull Long Yin’er up as a token of gratitude.
Long Yin’er, who had been sitting on the edge of the stage, didn’t seem to mind and stood up with a smile following Tao Yu.
“You were able to listen to my complaints for so long, I feel much better now.”
Long Yin’er, having used Tao Yu as an emotional sounding board, then reminded her,
“However, the development zones in White Star City are quite far from us, and the transmission fee is not cheap.”
“Mm, I might not go now; I’ll save up some money first.”
Tao Yu waved her hand at Long Yin’er, exchanged contact information, and then left directly.
She was just waiting for a couple of days to get a letter of recommendation from her.
“Having received a favor, if there’s a chance to help her out in return, I might as well, to repay the kindness.”
Tao Yu hummed a tune pleasantly as she left the grand theater, pondering.
However, from their conversation, she could vaguely understand that the recent attack might be related to her bloodline.
So, the assailant might either have followed her all the way from Heavenly Dragon or someone from White Star who had learned about the situation and wanted to get involved.
“I wonder if it’s something like True Dragon Blood; those young rich ladies might have something similar.”
The difference lies in the fact that those young rich ladies have bloodlines more closely aligned with the Abyss, while the Suns have always hidden theirs very well.In contrast, Long Yin’er, due to the nature of Tianlong State, was almost an open secret.
“Indeed, sometimes it’s essential to keep certain information hidden…”
Tao Yu herself possessed Divinity, and if it were exposed, her situation would be far worse than theirs.
The comparison with Long Yin’er’s experiences further affirmed Tao Yu’s resolve to keep her foundational talents hidden.
Even from her parents and the young rich ladies, she could not reveal a bit.
Just as Tao Yu obtained some clues from Long Yin’er and was preparing to head to the Thieves’ Guild for clearer intelligence,
suddenly, she felt a sense of being watched.
This made Tao Yu frown slightly.
“The observer seems to be of average strength, probably not targeting me or Teng Lianghong.”
Tao Yu kept a poker face and casually glanced to recognize the face of the watcher, who seemed to be a fan of Long Yin’er outside the grand theater.
Similar to the fans nearby who had spontaneously organized and were waiting.
This made Tao Yu slightly frown, unclear whether it was some extreme fan not keeping the distance, or some other reason.
Tao Yu did not pay attention for the time being and didn’t show that she noticed, simply boarding the orbital train and heading in the direction of the Fourth Ring District.
Soon after, she felt that a different watcher had followed her onto the train.
This time, it was a casually dressed middle-aged man.
Tao Yu didn’t mind, and after getting off in the Fourth Ring District, she headed straight for the Thieves Guild’s Pachinko Parlor…
…
“The target has headed to the Thieves’ Guild, should we follow in?”
The casually dressed middle-aged man, standing in front of an ice cream truck, bought an ice cream and pressed down on his throat microphone, using vibrations to transmit information into the microphone with a sound others couldn’t hear.
This skillful operation was quite impressive.
“The identity of that woman at the Thieves’ Guild is a bit tricky, let’s stay put for now, wait for him to come out, find an opportunity to bring him back.”
New instructions came through the earpiece.
“Received.”
The professionally calm middle-aged man appeared very composed.
This wasn’t his first time doing such a thing, and he had plenty of experience.
“There are four exits from the Thieves’ Guild, if he is going to buy intelligence or take up a task, he should come out from exit three; there are seven suitable locations nearby to capture him.”
The man held the ice cream in one hand and walked towards his predetermined capture point while seemingly natural, he was all eyes and ears.
He casually pulled a pen from his pocket, slightly rotating it to enter standby mode, ready to activate and block potential monitoring as soon as the time was right.
To avoid trouble, he had to act at the moment of necessity, otherwise, the drones from the Thieves’ Guild might detect interference.
After naturally avoiding the crowd, the middle-aged man reached the alley behind the Pachinko Parlor just in time to see the target character stepping out, hood pulled over his head.
“Although he changed into a cloak upon exit, his build, stride, and certain habits haven’t changed; quite unskilled.”
A slight smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged man, who then pressed the button on the pen.
Pleased with his timing and seized opportunity, he leapt up like a soundless bat from above!
A gentle hand strike aimed at Tao Yu’s nape, then quickly wrapped an arm around his shoulder to prevent a fall.
Fingers continuously emitted thin threads, connecting to Tao Yu’s limbs, controlling them to move as if he were a normal person, while he said,
“Old friend, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
While speaking, he continued to control Tao Yu and walk forward.
Leveraging the brief disruption caused by the pen earlier, all traces nearby vanished, making it appear as if two friends were walking side by side.
While controlling Tao Yu to keep walking, he also pressed the neck speaker,
“Target successfully captured, where should I transport him?”
“C19 safe house.”
“Understood.”
Having successfully achieved his objective, the man kept a calm expression, completely as expected.
Although he didn’t know the specific reason for capturing this person, he vaguely felt it must be related to the young Miss from the Long Family of Tianlong State.
There had been rumors about her lately, suggesting she possessed an extremely rare Demon Dragon bloodline, and with the issues arising in her family, things had been quite tumultuous.
This time coming to Baixing State, the concert was probably just a cover.
“However, it’s a pity that no matter where you go, strength is the foundation.
If Tianlong State couldn’t handle it, how could Baixing State handle it as an away game…”
While contemplating, he skillfully used threads to remotely control his captured target, moving steadily forward, and finally arrived at an apartment building, heading to the basement, found the corresponding door number, and directly opened the door.
“Good job.”
Someone was already waiting inside.
It turns out to be Sid Aphis, the external affairs manager of the Aphis family!
“You wait at the door first.”
“Yes.”
The man who delivered the goods spoke very respectfully and then bowed out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Before leaving, he also completed the withdrawal of all the threads controlling Tao Yu.
After the door closed, Tao Yu looked up at the manager of the Aphis family.
“I really didn’t expect it to be Mr.
Sid.
Aren’t you working with Long Yin’er?”
This statement slightly startled Sid Aphis.
He was aware of his subordinate’s abilities; though waking from control meant they would regain consciousness, it seemed too quick and too calm.
But as a first-class World Breaker confident in his own strength, Sid merely chuckled lightly at Tao Yu’s words.
“You really have a problem, deliberately hiding your identity and chatting leisurely with Long Yin’er for so long.
You’re actually her messenger, right?
Was your visit to the Thieves’ Guild about passing some information?”
Sid looked at Tao Yu with a scrutinizing gaze, his tone heavy.
“If I say it, will you let me go?”
“Your life is not important.
If what you say is useful to us, then sparing your life is not impossible.”
Sid looked down at Tao Yu with a somewhat arrogant tone.
From a standpoint of strength, he had absolute control here!
He was not worried that the other party was some expert.
Even if managed to be captured alive by his subordinates, it was difficult for Long Yin’er to instantly find a competent messenger, as the known ones were already marked and unlikely to make mistakes.
“It’s the Xing Family, Long Yin’er has asked the Xing Family for help…”
Tao Yu blurted out, slightly using the Instigator’s ability to strengthen the other’s trust.
He wanted to see if he could follow them to their next area.
But just after he finished speaking, Sid’s expression suddenly changed.
“Impossible!”
This reactive response made Tao Yu slightly stunned, feeling his slight probing as the Instigator had elicited a bit too strong of a reaction.
What’s impossible?
Oh, does the Aphis family have some collusion with the Xing Family…
Just as Tao Yu pondered this, he saw Sid also realized something, his expression turning fierce,
“Heh, lying to me at this time, it seems you are seeking death!”
He didn’t expect his own reactive outburst, but even if it was his mistake, the other party had to die!
This is the treatment of the strong, someone else will take the blame!
But just as he was about to do something, the Tao Yu in front of him instead showed a helpless smile,
“It seems it ends here today…”
Click~
Under the collapse of space, Sid suddenly felt unsteady on his feet and found himself standing on a sea of Black Mud.
Looking up at Tao Yu, he saw him picking out souls from the grazing areas of the Yue Family and Decaron family, selecting them one by one,
“Full, need to switch, good thing it’s just World Breakers…”
Sid then somewhat blankly realized that many World Breakers from the Yue Family, Decaron family, and Gu Family, who had died recently, were all wandering here.
Besides, he even saw the figure of the Huang Family Head!
Damn!
Wasn’t the Huang Family Head killed by someone from the Assassin’s League?
Duel Space?
This is the leader of the Assassin’s League!
How could this be?
Why were you captured?!
All previous deductions were just jokes, only now did Sid realize that he was the Fool!
All these beliefs about being captured alive, that Long Yin’er didn’t have enough power by her side.@@novelbin@@
All these were just limitations of his own fixed cognition!
Now Sid fully understood, what he thought was a fishing trip that brought in a small Karami.
Turned out to be a prehistoric crocodile…
Done for!
The Huang Family Head had been directly dealt with, and the Huang Family’s strength was considerably stronger than the Aphis family’s.
For him, merely an external affairs manager, this was no different from squashing an ant…
“Oh, so you actually knew the Huang Family Head, looks like your family indeed had some dealings with the Xing Family…”
After freeing up the least useful World Breaker from the Yue Family, Tao Yu then tilted his head towards Sid.
It’s time for some intense Dream Spirit Contact.
Hoped to get some useful information.
Unexpectedly, aside from obtaining information about True Dragon Blood and Konoha, there were also a few surprises…
What do you think?
