“Boss, the people from the Investigation Team have left… No, they didn’t find anything… Alright, we’ll be even more careful from now on and absolutely won’t let the same thing happen again!”
“Yikes, it’s already past four.” In the car, Brother Bi suddenly cried out.
Zhou Ye looked over, not understanding why.
Brother Bi gestured and said, “Then we drive back, and it’ll be the end of the workday.”
Zhou Ye:
Silently, he looked towards Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye didn’t even look at him, sighing, “Finally, a busy day is over.”
Zhou Ye tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Damn, are these guys serious?
Dragging out a task for an entire afternoon, just in time for the end of the workday…
“Little Pei, when you get off work later, are you going back to the base or home?” Brother Bi asked.
“If there’s nothing at the base, I’ll go home,” Pei Jinye replied unceremoniously. “Does Brother Bi still need to go and submit a report?”
“When Chief Xie was here, we certainly did, but Old Qiu said we can just click to submit it online now.” Brother Bi turned his head towards Zhou Ye. “Are you going back to the base?”
“Can I?” Zhou Ye asked tentatively.
“It’s not convenient. I’m not on your way, so you should get off somewhere close to here.”
Zhou Ye said sheepishly, “Then I won’t go back either. But is that really okay?”
“Why wouldn’t it be? If we’re not working overtime during off hours, why stay? And without extra pay, what’s the point of working overtime!”
At five in the afternoon, the autumn sky brought darkness early to the overcast day.
A bitter wind swept the dimly lit streets, lifting swathes of yellowed leaves into the air as vehicles sped past.
A bar in the northwest of Da Peng City was officially renamed “Trend Era” today.
However, it was still being redecorated and had not opened for business yet.
In the vast city, the change of ownership of the bar went largely unnoticed, except for a few drunkards who lingered at the door, asking when it would open.
Not much later,
a man in a trench coat quickly left the bar and drove away.
He circled the block “aimlessly,” until he was certain no one was following him, and then drove into a residential area.
This was an old residential area.
Behind the residential area was a stretch of woodland.
Within the woods were some old graves.
Thus, some thought the feng shui of this place was poor, deterring many from purchasing property here. As the new district of Da Peng City had been established, residents gradually moved away, leaving this area with a low occupancy rate.
“Buzz buzz!”
The man’s phone vibrated once.
He opened the door and closed it behind him.
Taking out his phone, he checked it and then redialed: “I understand what you mean, but whether the Demon King is dead… nobody besides the Elder can confirm that… Got it, let’s wait until I have thoroughly investigated. I don’t believe the Demon King is dead… that guy is very cunning.”
He ended the call.
The man went to the bathroom, ripped off the human skin mask from his face, and washed his face vigorously under the tap.
Then he looked at himself in the mirror.
He furrowed his brows and thought,
“Heavenly Calculation is dead, Shadow Bow is dead, even Zhao Qianfeng from Judgement Place has fallen… that guy wasn’t killed by me, so was he killed by Shadow Bow? With his strength, could he kill Zhao Qianfeng?”
“Therefore, it must have been the Demon King’s doing!”
“But where is he?”
Black Shark speculated with a dark expression on his face.
If not for the fact that the fatal wound inflicted on Shadow Bow didn’t match the Demon King’s signature move, he might have really suspected the Demon King of turning traitor and fighting amongst themselves!
“Did you… really die?”
Black Shark muttered, word by word.
Suddenly!
Boom! The wall in front of him, along with the mirror, shattered into pieces as a hand suddenly reached through, the terrifying heat of blazing flames entered Black Shark’s vision.
His face turned pale as he quickly scrambled back.
But behind him several swooshing sounds blocked his escape.
“Barrier!”
He quickly used his ability.
The swooshing sounds behind him stopped at once, but in that moment, a massive hand, as if blotting out the sky, slammed into his face.
Black Shark’s expression was one of horror.
Boom! A powerful force exploded against the two-meter-thick wall in front of him, and the giant hand gripping Black Shark’s face crushed and slammed him into another wall three meters away.
Black Shark, held down by the giant hand, turned his head sideways, and a sudden gust of cold wind allowed him to see that his entire head had smashed through the wall and was now exposed in the open air, ten meters high.
In the distance, under the twilight sky, large black birds took flight.
“Damn it!”
Black Shark roared in anger as his Vitality surged.
He reached out to grab.
“Barrier”
But suddenly, an immense force dragged him along the half-broken wall with a slamming force, abruptly interrupting his abilities.
He fiercely scraped his face and head against the solid wall.
Black Shark flailed desperately, striking at the arm in front of him.
Soon after, his entire face was grabbed from outside the wall and pulled back in, and before Black Shark could make sense of what was happening, a huge fist struck down on his head.
From above, downward.
Black Shark’s head flew downward like a cannonball toward the ground.
“Bang!”
He crashed through the floor once again.
Because of inertia, his body was driven into the ground like a javelin, standing on his head.
“Who… are you?”
Black Shark’s now bloodied face, which bore the signs of being weathered by time, was barely recognizable, and his eyes could hardly open, yet the other party continued to strike without pause.
In Pei Jinye’s vision,
Black Shark’s spiritual power continued to decrease from 20.
19…
18…
17…
Black Shark abruptly raised his hand to block Pei Jinye’s fist.
