Silver Art spoke and then stood in front of the door, confirmed the door number, and grasped the doorknob.
[Bio-information confirmed.]
The mechanical voice sounded, and the next second, the door opened.
Silver Art walked in with Pei Jinye, and as soon as they entered, they heard someone in the room say sarcastically, “You’re quite early, in a little while, the meeting will be over.”
Pei Jinye glanced at the person… A man wearing a Black Cat Mask was sitting at the end of the long table, toying with a dagger that flickered with cold light.
The man returned Pei Jinye’s gaze for a moment.
Then, a second later, he looked slightly startled and said, “Silver Art, who is he?”
Silver Art seemed to be accustomed to the attitude of the other people and casually said, “Demon King, he is here to take part in this operation.”
“Demon King? Ha, what an audacious title,” someone by the door chuckled malevolently.
But as soon as the voice fell, a massive fist came smashing through, and the man with blue hair under the mask hurriedly raised his hand to block it.
With a “crack,” the chair beneath him shattered instantly.
He tumbled to the ground in total disarray.
Pei Jinye indifferently retracted his fist, having just tested out the Quake Technique a bit, to satisfying effect.
“You!” The man in the blue hair mask looked outraged.
Silver Art leisurely stepped in front of Pei Jinye, “This is the man personally chosen by Mr. Black Shark. If anyone has objections, they can raise them directly with Mr. Black Shark later. If there are no objections, please take a seat. The meeting is about to start.”
The man in the blue mask, both shocked and angry, moved to another side and sat down.
Pei Jinye distinctly felt the gazes falling on him, yet he remained nonchalant and silent.
He had originally intended to keep a low profile, but considering Lan Feng’s typical show of Arrogance in front of Black Shark, he had thrown that punch.
It’s possible that Black Shark was also watching from the shadows…
Then the door opened again and everyone looked over.
The first to enter was a lady who looked like a blossoming Red Rose, petite in stature, with a red-patterned dress and bright red shoes that clicked crisply on the floor as she walked.
Upon entering, Red Rose noticed Pei Jinye and with a coquettish laugh said, “A new face, huh?”
Everyone seemed wary of her, none daring to answer rashly.
But the bald man behind her, who resembled a mini mountain, squeezed his body through the doorway and complained, “Damn it’s annoying. How many times have I said, can we get a bigger meeting room next time? It’s always such a hassle for me to come in.”
“Shut your mouth,” Red Rose immediately scolded with clear impatience.
The bald giant’s face filled with grievance, “You woman who’s fickle in affection.”
“One more word and I’ll make sure you’re permanently silenced!”
The bald giant shrunk back, no longer daring to speak.
Red Rose looked at Silver Art, who was standing beside Pei Jinye, and slightly raised an eyebrow, “Maybe, you should introduce your new companion?”
“He’s Demon King, participating in this operation,” Silver Art repeated wearily.
Red Rose suddenly asked, “What about Arrogance from before? And speaking of which, isn’t Lan Feng the one Da Peng City is currently on the lookout for? Could he be Arrogance?”
Silver Art shrugged, “I’m not sure. Even teammates need their privacy, right?”
The bald giant rumbled, “Why do I feel that this Demon King is even more arrogant than Arrogance?”
Silver Art glanced at the silent Pei Jinye before returning his gaze to the bald giant, “Are you really not afraid of becoming mute?”
The bald giant:
He looked at someone with dread.
Red Rose leaned in close to Pei Jinye, and as she bent down, a swath of white in front of her became visible, “How about we get to know each other, young man?”
She extended a hand with brightly polished nails.
Pei Jinye looked at her coldly and stretched out his hand, but said no words except two.
“Into Dreams.”
In an instant.
Red Rose was like a civet that had its tail stepped on, with all its fur standing on end, instantly distancing herself three meters away from the wallside, her face aghast, “You are Psychic Class!!!”
The people present were all momentarily stunned.
Psychic Class?
The blue-haired mask-wearing man was even more dumbfounded.
What kind of joke is this!
He had just taken a punch, and instead of being from the Body Technique System, it came from the Psychic Class? Where did they find this monster?
Silver Art tilted his head towards Pei Jinye but was not surprised at all.
Arrogance was originally a Psychic Class Transcendent, and as for the punch just now… it could also be executed using a Technique.
Why was everyone making such a big fuss about it?
However, Arrogance… no, the Demon King, seemed to have become stronger. Could it be because after removing the Curse, his strength had increased even further?
Pei Jinye leisurely removed his gloves that were contaminated with poison: “To use poison during our first meeting, you’re really impolite.”
Red Rose narrowed her eyes, her greatest fear was Transcendents of the Psychic Class because they were her perfect counter!
Just at that moment.
Ten o’clock sharp.
The projection timely cast down the silhouette of Black Shark.
He looked around at the assembled shadows, his gaze lingering in the direction of Pei Jinye for a moment before he slowly began, “Ladies and gentlemen, it is rare to have us all gathered here today. It seems you have already met the new team member. Yes, he is the Demon King… temporarily paired with Silver Art, and as for the previous Arrogance, there are other arrangements….”
“This mission pertains to Sun Lei, a second-level researcher at the Light Research Institute. Below is his personal information.”
As the words fell.
A panel appeared in front of everyone’s seats.
It displayed detailed information about the target.
“Starting now, all of you hand in every external communication device.”
Everyone skillfully placed their phones and other communication tools in the drawers on the table, and locked them away.
Pei Jinye was no exception.
“Mission: To take away the target, a living body is not required, but the organs must be intact. Shadow Bow, Heavenly Calculation, you two are responsible for providing the target’s movement route and the best escape plan, Silver Art and the Demon King will take action, while Tai Yuan and Red Rose will work on drawing the enemy’s attention.”
The man playing with the dagger is Heavenly Calculation; the blue-haired mask-wearing man who was beaten away by Pei Jinye is Shadow Bow.
Tai Yuan and Red Rose were the last two to come in.
Red Rose couldn’t help but glance towards Pei Jinye, her eyebrows tightly knotted,
But then she heard Heavenly Calculation suddenly speak, “Mr. Black Shark, is this Demon King really reliable?”
Everyone looked at him, then turned their gazes towards Pei Jinye.
Black Shark said calmly, “Of course. I must emphasize, during this operation, anyone who dares to harm a teammate, I will deal with personally.”
A chill went through everyone’s hearts.
Black Shark’s tone softened as he continued, “The target is of great urgency to those above us, so we will act in an hour. I have received intelligence that the target leaves work at 11:20… Heavenly Calculation, your task is very important, so do not get distracted by unnecessary thoughts, focus on the mission.”
“Yes, Mr. Black Shark.” Heavenly Calculation nodded.
Black Shark looked around at the gathering, “The supplies you need are behind the secret door of this room. Rest a bit; I hope to hear good news from you in two hours.”
The influence of Black Shark’s projection ended.
The room fell into a brief silence.
Shadow Bow was the first to get up and head for the secret door.
“Ding”
The secret door opened.
He was the first to walk in.
It was Tai Yuan whose face fell, agitatedly complaining, “Damn it, this door is even smaller, can I even fit through…”
