Hundreds of meters away, the figure watched the scene unfold before him, his eyes flashing a hint of surprise.
"You have decent fighting strength; you’d make a good opponent. However, you’re not my match. If you want that token, have your boss come and talk to me. Maybe I’ll hand it over to you. Stop sending these underlings after me," Xiao Yifeng said, arms crossed, speaking indifferently.
Kuangdao’s gaze fixed on Xiao Yifeng, flickering with an unusual light, and said, "I will pass on your words, but it would be best for you to hand over the token; keeping it will only harm you, not benefit you."
After he had finished speaking, Kuangdao coughed a few times and quickly left the area.
Watching Kuangdao depart, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly. In a flash, his gaze swept across the area hundreds of meters away.
Instantly, the figure standing hundreds of meters away stiffened, his expression revealing an unusual look, and then he quickly vanished from sight.
Xiao Yifeng furrowed his brow, his eyes twinkled, and he too left Tianhai University.
The figure that had previously been secretly watching the fight between Xiao Yifeng and Kuangdao now appeared in a hidden room within Tianhai University, accompanied by two other figures.
All three were dressed in dark attire, their faces grim, eyes gleaming with shadowy intent.
"Ghost Ten, what happened?"
The two figures in the room asked the figure who had just walked in.
"A young man has appeared at Tianhai University with great strength, at least at the Transformative Energy Stage. He just fought a practitioner in the Middle Stage of Transformative Energy within the university, and he even noticed me," Ghost Ten said, sitting to one side with a chilling voice.
"How can such a master appear at Tianhai University? Did they discover the secret of the university?" Both of the figures changed their expressions.
"It’s unlikely. Not many people are aware of this secret. Otherwise, Tianhai University wouldn’t have been peaceful for so long. Perhaps he’s a disciple from another power attending the university incognito," one of them suggested.
At that moment, Ghost Ten’s eyes flickered coldly as he said, "Regardless, we’ve delayed for too long and must complete our mission. We need to find its location, or you all know the consequences."
"According to our investigation, that thing should be in that abandoned building of Tianhai University, as it has the strongest Evil Qi."
"Find an opportunity to investigate. If it truly is there, we must immediately report back," Ghost Ten stated coldly.
In Tianhai, inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, Zhou Xinyi sat on the sofa sipping coffee, while her agent Liu Juan, the thirty-something-year-old woman who always accompanied Zhou Xinyi, sat beside her. On the other side stood the middle-aged man responsible for protecting Zhou Xinyi.
"Xinyi, you’re being targeted by an assassin, and we still don’t know their intent. For your safety, I think we should cancel the concert and return to Yanjing immediately," Liu Juan said, looking worriedly at Zhou Xinyi.
"No, we’ve already announced the news, and many fans have come here just for the concert. We can’t let them down. The concert must go on as scheduled. I won’t disappoint those who support me. Besides, now that the assassin’s attempt has failed, he probably won’t make another move," Zhou Xinyi reasoned after some thought.
"But what if they still try to kill you? It’s very dangerous. If it weren’t for that gentleman today, you would have almost lost your life," Liu Juan said, frowning at Zhou Xinyi.
The image of Xiao Yifeng flashed in Zhou Xinyi’s mind, and a smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Sister Liu, find out about the man who saved me tonight. I want to thank him. As for the concert, there’s no need to discuss it further; we absolutely can’t cancel."
"But..." Liu Juan hesitated, her eyes flickering.
"Miss, rest assured, I was negligent before, but this time I will protect you for sure," the middle-aged man declared solemnly.
"Sigh, since you’ve made up your mind, all I can do is talk to the company and ask them to send more bodyguards to ensure your safety. I have no idea which bastard is actually trying to kill you," said Liu Juan with a sigh.
"I’m not very clear about that either," Zhou Xinyi replied, her eyes flashing with a trace of perplexity.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa in Yanjing, within a massive swimming pool, a woman with a fiery figure was swimming continuously.
At that moment, a young woman approached with a mobile phone in hand and spoke to the woman in the pool, "Miss, you have a phone call."
The woman in the pool emerged, flinging her wet hair back, revealing a mature and enchanting face as she slowly walked out of the pool and put the phone to her ear.
"Hello, what’s the situation?"
Upon hearing the response, the woman’s face darkened, her piercing eyes glittering with a cold and ruthless gleam, like that of a venomous snake.
She spoke coldly, then spat out, "No matter what, I want her dead in Tianhai, never to return to Yanjing."
After uttering these words, the woman tossed her phone, worth tens of thousands, into the swimming pool. Her alluring face turned ugly, and her eyes glinted with a sinister and venomous light.
"You cheap woman, I will make sure you die. Everything from the Zhou Family should belong to me, Zhou Ruoxuan."
Tianhai, Yang Family.
In the Yang Family’s main hall, Yang Huaimin and his son Yang Hao were sitting together.
"Dad, are you really going to agree to President Mushen’s request to find twenty 18-year-old girls for the Tokugawa? If word of this gets out, it won’t look good for the reputation of our Yang Family," said Yang Hao, his eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke softly.
Yang Huaimin swirled a glass of red wine in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he replied:
"The forces behind that Tokugawa are definitely not simple in the Island Country, and getting in touch with the Ishii Group is a good opportunity for our Yang Clan. However, you still need to have someone watch over them secretly. I suspect they have other motives for coming to Tianhai."
"Other motives?" Yang Hao asked, surprised.
"That’s right, on the surface they say they want to cooperate with our Yang Clan, but apart from asking us to find twenty girls, they have other intentions. The people I placed in the hotel found that many of their people mysteriously left the hotel today, and it’s still unclear what they are up to," said Yang Huaimin, taking a sip of the wine and speaking directly.
Yang Hao’s expression flickered, and he nodded, saying, "I understand. By the way, Dad, I believe that Xiao Yifeng is finished."
"Oh? Have you thought of a way to deal with him?" Yang Huaimin asked curiously as he looked at Yang Hao.
"Dad, you’ll know when the time comes," Yang Hao said, a sly smile appearing at the corner of his mouth and a cold light gleaming in his narrowed eyes.
