On the roof.
Looking down at Wang Xiao, who was walking by, Lang Lina took out a
[Challenge Card] and tilted his head in his brother’s direction. “Brother, he’s alone now. Why don’t we kill him directly?”
Lang Buli narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. “What did the deputy captain say?”
“I can’t reach him.”
Lang Lina sighed, his expression clearly displeased. “Also, we can’t contact that broker, Lan Dahai. I wonder what he’s busy with. Brother! If we don’t make a move now, he’ll be long gone!”
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Lang Buli said in a low voice. Then, he took out his communication device and dialed Turk’s number. However, no one picked up after waiting for a long time.
Seeing that Wang Xiao was about to disappear from the corner of the street, Lang Lina could not help but say anxiously, “Brother! Are we going to do it or not?”
Lang Buli hesitated for a moment before saying heavily, “Retreat!”
“Alright! I… What?”
Lang Lina grabbed the [Challenge Card] and was about to tear it open when he suddenly reacted and looked at Lang Buli. “Brother, what did you just say?”
“I said retreat!”
Lang Buli stared fixedly at Wang Xiao’s back and said softly in an unwilling tone, “Lan Dahai said that this person is not as simple as he looks. Our sudden departure just now was too strange. Can you guarantee that he’s not suspicious?”
Lang Lina sneered. “He’s alone. So what if he’s suspicious? With our methods, are we afraid of not being able to restrain him?”
“If he’s suspicious, how do you know he’s alone here?”
As he spoke, Lang Buli narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment. He raised his hand and pointed at an alley by the street. “Look at what that is.”
“That’s…
Lang Lina looked in the direction of the finger and could vaguely see someone leaning against the wall in the dark alley. “He seems to be a drunkard…”
“It could also be an ambush.”
Lang Buli said in a low voice with a serious expression, “In short, this mission is no small matter. We have to deal with it carefully. Moreover, the deputy captain already has a plan. We don’t have to be anxious.”
Hearing this, Lang Lina immediately revealed a disdainful expression.
“Brother, when did you become so cowardly? Are you frightened by the deputy captain?
“It’s not cowardice. It’s being strategic.”
Lang Buli smiled slightly, and his eyes vaguely flickered with a cruel light. “We will be acting on our own. If we fail, we’ll be responsible… But if that deputy captain’s plan fails, won’t we be able to do whatever we want?”
“Do whatever we want?”
Lang Lina blinked twice and suddenly thought of something with an excited expression. “You mean we can…”
“Shh!”
Lang Buli gestured for his brother to keep quiet and interrupted him. He watched as Wang Xiao’s back turned the corner, and the cruel light in his eyes became even brighter. “If you want to have fun, do as I say.”
“Alright. alright. alright! I’ll do as vou sav!”
Lang Lina nodded excitedly. Then, he looked puzzled. “But what if the deputy captain’s plan succeeds?”
“Succeeds?”
Lang Buli glanced at his brother and sighed in disappointment. “Other than fighting, can you use your brain at other times?
Looking at Lang Lina’s confused expression, Lang Buli gritted his teeth and explained helplessly, “You and I are the executors of the plan. How can he succeed?”
“I see! I completely understand!” Lang Lina was excited again. “Brother! You’re still the cunning one!”
“That’s called scheming! ”
Lang Buli slapped his brother angrily and finally glanced at the street corner where Wang Xiao had walked past. Then, the two of them retreated from the edge of the roof.
Kaiyang City, West District.
Wang Xiao followed the route in his memory and quickly arrived near the Fang family.
It had to be said that the Fang family was indeed a wealthy family. Last time, this place had been reduced to ruins by Andu’s [Annihilation Light]. In just a month, not only had it been repaired, but it was even more luxurious than before!
Sighing inwardly, Wang Xiao arrived in front of the three-meter-tall door, picked up the door knocker, and gently knocked twice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the side door beside him quietly opened. A middle-aged man draped in a coat poked his head out. He was probably disturbed from his dream and looked at Wang Xiao with an extremely unfriendly gaze. “Who are you? Why are you Imocking in the middle of the night?”
Wang Xiao knew that he was rude and ignored the other party’s tone. He hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, “My name is Wang Xiao. I’m here to look for Fang Tianyu for something.”
“Looking for Miss?”
The middle-aged man frowned and waved his hand impatiently. “Come again tomorrow! It’s so late. Miss is already asleep! ”
With that said, the middle-aged man retreated and wanted to close the door. Wang Xiao hurriedly went forward and raised his hand to stop him. “I know it’s very late, but this matter is very important. Please inform her!”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he took out a star coin and handed it over. “Can you make an exception?”
Seeing that there was money, the middle-aged man’s eyes immediately lit up, but he immediately pretended to be in a difficult position. He took the star coins and muttered, “The Fang family has rules…”
“Understood!”
Wang Xiao nodded and handed over another two star coins. The middle-aged man immediately smiled and said, “Wait a moment,” before closing the door and leaving.
After another minute or two, the side door opened again and a sleepy Fang Tianyu walked out in her pajamas.
Usually, Fang Tianyu would always dress exquisitely and exude the appearance of an unapproachable goddess from head to toe.
Now that she had changed into loose pajamas and had messy hair, she looked more like a girl next door. In particular, her rabbit-shaped pink fluffy slippers actually stunned Wang Xiao for a moment.
Who would have thought that the famous “Ice Mountain Goddess” was actually so cute in private?
“What’s up?”
Fang Tianyu rubbed her eyes and asked vaguely. She had just been woken up and was still a little nasal, making her sound even cuter.
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before remembering the serious matter.
He hurriedly opened the interface and said, “I’m here to give you the
[Breakthrough Stones]. I know it’s a little late, but I thought that you would use them for training tomorrow… I didn’t disturb your rest, right?”
“What do you think? I just dreamed that you gave me ten… Wait!”
Halfway through, Fang Tianyu suddenly woke up and widened her eyes at Wang Xiao. “What did you just say? You’re here to give me the [Breakthrough Stones]?”
“That’s right. I’ve already gathered ten.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he placed the ten [Breakthrough Stones] into the trading column. “Hurry up and accept them.”
“Oh, okay!”
Fang Tianyu opened the interface in a daze and accepted them. She watched as the ten [Breakthrough Stones] entered her warehouse with an unbelievable expression.
“Alright!”
Wang Xiao clapped his hands. “They have been delivered. Go back and sleep! See you at the academy ranking assessment!”
With that said, Wang Xiao turned around and left. Fang Tianyu stared at the [Breakthrough Stones] in the warehouse for a while and suddenly raised her hand to pinch her cheek.
“Ouch! It hurts!”
Fang Tianyu gasped and rubbed her face in confusion. “It’s not a dream… But where did he get the [Breakthrough Stones]? It’s only been a few hours!”
Looking at Wang Xiao’s departing back, Fang Tianyu’s heart arose with great curiosity.. She knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night…
