Chapter 657: Luring the Snake Out of Hiding (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

So, what was the problem?

After thinking for a moment, Feng Qi decided to start fishing.

First, he would use bait to lure the snake out of its hole.

At the thought of this, he took out his encrypted cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

After waiting for a moment, the call went through. A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me!”

Hearing the familiar voice, the tone on the other end of the phone instantly warmed up.

“Lord Narrator, what instructions do you have? Have you checked the recent mission list? Do you need to reject some missions in advance?”

Faced with a series of questions, Feng Qi said indifferently.

“There’s a mission I need to consult you on.”

“Go ahead.”

“I checked this batch of missions and discovered a mission to assassinate Star City Academy’s teacher, Feng Qi. I want to know who issued this mission.” After a short silence on the other end of the line, he replied.

“Lord Narrator, the person who issued the mission used an encrypted phone.

When he placed the deposit, he was wrapped tightly. I couldn’t see his face and figure at all.”

Feng Qi was not surprised to hear this answer.

The hidden domain factions cared about keeping their identities a secret the most. It was understandable that they chose not to reveal any information. “Lord Narrator, do you want to cancel this mission?”

“No, you can’t cancel it. Immediately release this mission, but accept it in your name. Don’t give other factions a chance to accept it.”

“I’ll take on the mission?” The person on the other end of the phone sounded very surprised.

“Lord Narrator, do you mean that I should assassinate Star City Academy’s teacher, Feng Qi?”

“Of course not. I want you to accept this mission and announce the completion of the mission in two days. Then, you will appear to collect the subsequent rewards. At that time, I will go with you.”

Hearing this, the manager of the weak race alliance on the other end of the phone clearly understood what Feng Qi meant.

“Lord Narrator, are you trying to lure him out?”

“That’s right.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it for you now.”

After discussing the details of this mission in detail, Feng Qi hung up.

Next, he dialed Mu Qing’s number and explained the next mission to her.

Since the hidden domain faction that issued the assassination mission was unwilling to show itself, he planned to lure it out by fishing.

Fog had used similar tricks before.

At that time, it didn’t know which domain faction controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute and how strong they were.

However, it knew that the domain faction that controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been researching spells, and they had even restricted Lin Ran’s freedom.

To find out the situation, it had once teamed up with Lin Ran to send a list of spiritual materials to the forces behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

One of them was the need for blood stones.

At that time, the Night Shadow Race had taken the bait and sent their members to trade with Fog, who had completed the mission.

Ultimately, they provided Fog with the conditions for successful parasitism, and it successfully infiltrated the Night Shadow Race.

Starting from that initial luring mission, Fog eventually defeated the Night Shadow Race, emerging as the new overseer of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

The luring technique he used this time was very similar.

He used the mission to lure the snake out of hiding.

To be safe, he decided to bring Mu Qing along when he officially made the deal.

At that time, even if something unexpected happened, he believed that with Mu Qing’s strength, she could easily deal with it.

Next, all he needed to do was wait.

Two days later, Feng Qi, who had been waiting for a reply, received a call from the management of the weak race alliance.

He was informed that the mission was completed and that he could carry out the subsequent transactions.

Late at night.

In the central building of the bustling business district of Star City.

Wearing a special black mask, Feng Qi stood at the top of the central building and looked down at the bright lights.

The prosperity of the East District of Star City was gone at a glance.

Behind him stood Mu Qing, who was also wearing a black mask, and the managers of Star City’s weak race alliance.

The transaction after this mission was completed was set at the top of the central building.

Feng Qi kept scanning the area below, waiting for his target to appear.

He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was time for the transaction, but the target had yet to appear.

While frowning, Feng Qi asked.

“Black Dragon, has there ever been a situation where a mission was completed within your weak race alliance, but the transaction was evaded?”

“It has happened before, but the probability is very low. After all, we still have to complete many missions that large factions don’t do. This is a long-term deal. They won’t cut off all contact with us just to evade a transaction.”

“You don’t even know the identity of the other party. What’s to stop them from changing their identity and continuing to freeload on you?”

“There’s no such situation. Those who issued assassination missions to us are not small factions. Small factions can’t issue assassination missions to waste resources. Large factions don’t care about the price of such resources at all.” “Other than assassination missions, other commissions such as the collection of spiritual materials have to be delivered face-to-face after completion, preventing potential evasion.”

At this point, Black Dragon pondered for a moment and continued.

“If there is a case of evasion, our management will still cover it. The remuneration will still need to be distributed. If we can’t even guarantee this, no weak race faction will choose to cooperate with us. This is the foundation for establishing a weak race alliance.”

After listening to Black Dragon’s explanation, Feng Qi could not help but nod.

The management of the weak race alliance appeared to involve gaining something without risking anything of one’s own. They could receive a commission from the mission reward without intervening every time. In reality, however, they also assumed numerous benefits and risks.

“They’re here!”

At this moment, Mu Qing, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.

When Feng Qi heard that, he looked into the distance.

In the distant sky, a silver-white figure quickly approached.

After a few flashes in the air, a figure wrapped in silver-white light appeared at the top of the building.

A strange and sharp inquiry sounded from the silver-white light.

“Are you sure Feng Qi is dead? Why didn’t I see any news reports?”

“Yes, Feng Qi is dead. As for why it wasn’t reported, I’m not sure. Furthermore, you didn’t see the news of his death, but did you catch the reports of his recent appearances?”

Feng Qi replied indifferently.

“I trust you. I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

As he spoke, the figure in the silver-white light handed over the metal box in his hand.

Seeing this, Feng Qi reached out and took the metal box.

When the arm wrapped in the silver-white light was about to retract, Mu Qing’s figure suddenly appeared beside it and suddenly reached out to grab its wrist.

“What are you doing?” The figure was surprised.

“The most crucial aspect of a deal is honesty. Your decision to conceal your identity is highly disrespectful to us. Show us your appearance first.”

When Black Dragon heard this, he subconsciously looked at Feng Qi, who was wearing a black mask. He could not help but ridicule in his head.

However, he did not dare to say these words in front of Feng Qi.

As soon as Feng Qi finished speaking, Mu Qing moved.

A terrifying power suddenly erupted and dragged the silver-white figure a few steps forward.

Jade-colored light cascaded over Mu Qing’s body, instantly obliterating the silver-white light, causing it to disperse.

Seeing this, Feng Qi took a step back and did not intend to attack.

He had absolute confidence in Mu Qing’s strength.

From a historical point of view, no one in Star City could fight against Mu Qing.

Perhaps only Tian Shu, who had imprisoned himself, could.

However, he felt that Mu Qing was still stronger in a fight.

The title of a historical demon king who dominated an era was not an undeserved reputation.

“Keep him alive!” he reminded.

It was important to find out who issued the mission.

However, in Feng Qi’s eyes, it was more important to find out who was behind the mission issuer.

If he killed the person who Issued the mission now, the clues would be cut off. He would not be able to find the domain faction hiding in the dark.

Hearing his reminder, Mu Qing immediately nodded solemnly.

In a breath, the jade-colored light flowing on the surface of her body began to surge towards the silver-white figure.

Facing Mu Qing’s capture, the silver-white figure was powerless to resist. Feeling the terrifying pressure, its body began to tremble uncontrollably. The trembling wasn’t solely driven by fear; rather, it stemmed from being overpowered by Mu Qing’s aura.

At this moment, even Black Dragon, who was standing not far behind, could not help but tremble. However, his eyes were abnormally excited. He felt that he had found a huge backer.

Only Feng Qi, who had cultivated Fist Force, could barely deal with the intense pressure brought by Mu Qing.

As the jade-colored light on Mu Qing’s body circulated, the silver-white light was dispersed on a large scale.

Looking at the silver-white figure that was gradually revealing its appearance, Feng Qi’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

The truth behind this assassination mission was about to be revealed..
