Chapter 184: [159] Old Partner Silver Art: You Kill, I Set Fires (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and support)_3
However, Hong Luo and the young man exchanged glances, retracted their gazes, and did not continue the topic.
It was only Pei Jinye, the sole person in the know, who paid them no attention and instead turned to Silver Art, “Is the Elder here?”
“He was here yesterday, but today…” Silver Art said with difficulty, “Today, I just don’t know.”
“You really should find the Elder. Our people have been looking for you all this time, especially that guy Black Shark—he seems desperate to turn the earth upside down to find you,” Hong Luo said at this point.
Pei Jinye turned his head to look, “I can’t contact you all; if it weren’t for the big commotion you made last time, I wouldn’t even know you had come to Da Peng City.”
“Demon King, you must have been very anxious, huh?” Silver Art asked with concern.
Beneath the mask, Pei Jinye pulled the corner of his mouth.
Initiating contact with the Old Gods Association was a decision Pei Jinye had taken a long time to settle on.
The main purpose, of course, was to avoid being targeted by the other party again. Showing up so openly, he naturally had other things on his mind.
But the Elder wasn’t there.
Silver Art introduced Hong Luo to Pei Jinye, and the young man pretending to be Black Shark called himself “Sea Words.”
“Is your ability to disguise?” Pei Jinye asked Sea Words.
Sea Words scratched his head sheepishly, “I do network invasion. Disguising was a necessity. By tomorrow, this store will have a new owner, and then I won’t need to pretend to be Black Shark anymore.”
Pei Jinye nodded at his words.
Silver Art handed over an encrypted phone, “This is a new contact phone. I’ll inform you if the Elder returns.”
“Okay.”
Pei Jinye was about to leave.
Suddenly, he heard Hong Luo ask, “Big brother, do you always wear a mask?”
Pei Jinye turned around and looked at her silently.
Hong Luo suddenly ran off and hid behind Silver Art, muttering softly, “He looks so fierce.”
Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze, “Contact me when the Elder returns.”
Having said that, he stepped out into the winds outside the door and quickly disappeared from sight.
“Is that the Demon King, the one Black Shark is obsessed with?”
“He seems really strong.”
“Hehe, since the Demon King has shown up on his own, I don’t have to look for him anymore, perfectly sparing me one task,” Hong Luo and Sea Words whispered to each other. Only Silver Art stood, staring blankly out the door, and not long after, she followed him outside.
Even though his contact with the Old Gods Association didn’t result in meeting the Elder as he had hoped, at least it would eliminate some uncontrollable factors moving forward.
Under the shadow of the wind.
Pei Jinye scanned his attribute panel in front of him.
Instrument·Snipe (Awaiting Awakening);
Body·Gang Fist (Awaiting Awakening);
Wisdom·Clear Brain (Awaiting Awakening);
Element·Freezing (Awaiting Awakening);
Spirit·Fog Shadow Body (Awaiting Awakening);
The first three were related to Jiang Suhu.
The last two were related to the Judgement Place.
Pei Jinye collected his spirit.
He then assessed his three values.
Both Vitality and Physical strength had recovered to 32, and Spiritual power had just barely reached 23. What used to be the fastest growing was now the lowest amount.
It could only be said that the Jiang family’s meals were indeed nourishing for the body.
“Demon King?” Suddenly Silver Art caught up from behind.
Pei Jinye:
After confirming that no one was around, he signaled to go to the deserted woods nearby.
“What’s the matter?”
“Are we still teammates?” Silver Art asked.
Hearing Silver Art’s question, Pei Jinye paused for a moment, “You chased after me just to ask this? Alright… As you wish, we are certainly teammates,” he said after a moment’s consideration.
Upon hearing this, Silver Art visibly relaxed, as if she had many words piled up that she urgently wanted to speak out.
But Pei Jinye spoke first, “Silver Art, I have a personal operation. I wonder if you would be willing—”
Before he could finish, Silver Art interrupted impatiently, “Let’s go!”
Pei Jinye suddenly realized he was perhaps being a little too shameless.
“Silver Art, really, thank you.”
“Then I forgive you for not coming to find me these days. I can hold a grudge, you know,” Silver Art said with mock seriousness.
Pei Jinye, watching her earnest expression, couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“I understand, I understand.”
“Boss, the research institute has sent a message, all those who were under surveillance have disappeared,” the man in traditional Chinese garb whispered into his ear.
Jiang Suhu nodded nonchalantly, “Originally, the elders at home were none the wiser, a pity… They had to ruin a good thing.”
“What’s next…” the man in traditional Chinese garb hesitated.
“Proceed as usual. I’ve already appeased that person at home. He won’t notice anything for a while, and even if he does…” Jiang Suhu laughed arrogantly with an air of indifference, “Actually, even if he finds out, it doesn’t matter, given I’m his most cherished grandson…”
The man in traditional Chinese garb also smiled knowingly.
Just then.
Suddenly, an explosive sound from outside caught the attention of Jiang Suhu and the man in the room.
“Go take a look,” Jiang Suhu nodded, a bad hunch rising in his heart. He immediately reached for the gun in his drawer.
“Yes, Boss.” The complexion of the man in traditional Chinese garb grew grave, the sound was far from ordinary, and he quickly went to open the double iron doors.
The next second!
Boom! With a loud bang!
The double iron doors were struck by a tremendous force from outside, sending the doors and the man flying backward.
Jiang Suhu, who was still reaching for the gun in the drawer, hadn’t managed to pull it out when a Triangular Military Dagger, fast as lightning and seemingly appearing out of nowhere, pierced through the arm he was using to reach for the gun.
Under the momentum.
A great force was transferred.
Jiang Suhu was knocked over the table and chairs, crashing hard against the wall.
Every bone in his body felt like it was about to fall apart from the collision.
