Chapter 592: Chapter 527 Suspicious Chapter 592: Chapter 527 Suspicious “They seem to have a good relationship, even allowing for credit.”
Tao Yu left the Thieves’ Guild and put his mask back on.
This mask, also scavenged from Teng Lianghong, was a little gem with protection against detection and both ntal and physical defense.
Quite suited for the identity of a masked assassin.
Or one might say the gear he was wearing was actually Teng Lianghong’s.
After completing the modifications to his appearance and borrowing almost half of Yuan Force with Legion’s Strength, coupled with the original scent of the clothes, except for the risk of being recognized due to different essence, the disguise was already quite thorough.
“As for the suspects, naturally, I’ll pay a visit to each.”
Tao Yu was not one for pleasantries.
That’s just how brazen we in the Assassin’s League are!
...
Before, Teng Lianghong had wanted to invite to join, even praising as a natural-born assassin of divine caliber.
And now here I am… part of it…
…
“Now I don’t have good control over my strength, it’s better not to confront Catastrophe Level opponents lightly.
However, dealing with World Breakers should be a breeze.”
Tao Yu recalled the map of White Star City and then planned a route in his mind.
In White Star City, there were ‘Inspectors’ who would imdiately act to stop and apprehend anyone likely to cause significant damage to White Star City.
The extent of damage deed significant was about on par with Starshine City, likely equivalent to the full force of a typical World Breaker.
Inspectors usually were top-tier World Breakers, serving in this difficult volunteer position and often rotating shifts.
In a few critical areas, there were even Catastrophe Level ‘Inspectors.’
Like the one who had co to tail last ti.
In Starshine City, there’s usually only one stationed permanently beneath the Floating City’s observation tower.
But White Star City’s urban area is much bigger than both the Inner and Outer City of Starshine combined, so ‘Inspectors’ are divided by districts.
“The Wu family from Tianshui is also in the Second Ring Area; there might be a Catastrophe Level Inspector there, and with a multitude of experts in the core areas, I’ll put them off for later, to use as a thod of elimination.”
The first choice Tao Yu made was the Fire Bull Yue Family.
There was no special reason, except that he had happened to co across news of the family’s young mistress breaking off several engagents.
When the Yue Family suffered an attack at such a ti, the first suspect would naturally be the jilted Gu Family.
Even if soone noticed sothing amiss and rooted it out, it would still be the handiwork of the Assassin’s League…
…
Tianxing District lies within the Third Ring and is one of White Star City’s business centers, unlike Flowerbed Street, which caters more to general entertainnt and leisure.
Tianxing District is mostly comprised of companies’ offices, workshops, or guild headquarters.
The number of people on the streets is considerable, but it pales in comparison to the bustle of Flowerbed Street, and the crowd here dresses more formally, a rather uncommon sight for Pioneers adapted to the Abyss environnt.
Flowerbed Street, on the other hand, is pure chaos.
“The billboards are much more regulated here, a nice improvent over Starshine City.”
Tao Yu had been in the State Capital for a while, but whenever he went out, he was either buying or selling things, mainly staying around the suburban Outer Ring Area and had rarely browsed around.
Compared to Starshine City, public transportation here is indeed much more comprehensive.
But this public transportation wasn’t really a welfare benefit.
The price of 10 Yuan Force for a railcar ride was not cheap for ordinary people.
“In such a hellish environnt, it takes sufficient profit to motivate construction, I guess.
Better than nothing…”
The Yue Family’s residence is located in Tianxing District.
Above a large comrcial building, there’s a LOGO of ‘Fire Bull Breeding and Cultivation Company.’
This was also the heartland of the Yue Family.
“It’s not inferior to the Goose Factory’s skyscraper, and it’s got everything you need inside…”
Tao Yu glanced over from the opposite side of the street.
It was an imposing building, with the bottom three floors being transparent glass walls.
Above the third floor were dark-tinted, color-changing glass walls.
But just the bottom three floors alone revealed their internal supermarket, gym, and cafeteria.
In terms of standards, these facilities were not inferior to those of professional hotels outside.
Just these alone were indicative of excellent employee benefits.
At the entrance of the ground floor lobby, there were two rows of security guards who had undergone a uniform chanical transformation.
Each carried a shoulder cannon, with two drones floating nearby, and they all wore the sa standardized uniforms.
Ignoring their combat abilities for now, at least in terms of appearance, they were quite impressive and looked very deterring.
“Excuse , sir, is there sothing I can help with?”
As Tao Yu stood across the street sizing things up, a passerby who seed to simply be walking by suddenly stopped and scrutinized Tao Yu.
Tao Yu gave the man a quick glance.
Dressed in ordinary battle gear, the man wore a common suit with two magazines inserted upside down in his chest, looking like a typical Pioneer passing by.
But this sudden stop to inquire, along with the barely hidden vigilance, made Tao Yu take notice.
In so way, this ‘casual observer’ could also be one of the Yue Family’s!
“Indeed, it’s different.
Talking numbers, even if the Yue Family can’t compete with the Suns, they aren’t much behind the last few families of the Starshine Twelve Families.
In the Starshine Floating City, they’re considered quite a powerful clan.”
With this thought, Tao Yu felt a sense of lancholy.
The Starshine Twelve Families of the Floating City!
How unattainable these forces and levels once seed!
In the past, to take out Han Ya, one would have to prepare arduously to avoid being targeted.
Yet, the family Han Ya belonged to probably wasn’t even a match for the Yue Family!
The entire family seed to have only one Catastrophe-level mber.
In the Starshine Inner City, such a family could draw reverence from the big players there, even a dog from that household!
Indeed, White Star City was truly eclectic.
These lofty families could also have down-to-earth buildings as their residences.
But such high-level families undoubtedly possessed far-from-ordinary reach.
“The Suns are already a colossus capable of independently developing the New Developnt Zone.
Although the Yue Family is not at that level, having sentries all around seems quite normal…”
After quickly going through his thoughts internally, Tao Yu faced the man with a calm deanor,
“I’ve only heard of the Fire Bull Yue Family and saw so news recently.
I was just curious as I was passing by.”
Having said this, Tao Yu paused for a mont before asking in return,
“May I ask if you are with the Yue Family?
This is the Tianxing District, surely you don’t have authority over such a broad area?”
“There’s a reason why I approached you out of so many passing by.”
The ‘passerby’ with the vigilant look did not relax at Tao Yu’s words.
Instead, he pulled out a tablet and casually tapped it a few tis, and a series of surveillance feeds appeared.
The angle of the surveillance was clearly from a high-altitude perspective, likely taken from a drone.
It showed all of Tao Yu’s movents since he descended from the orbital car and entered the Tianxing area.
Apparently connected to an AI system, the data had been filtered and movent predictions had been made.
The label ‘suspicious target’ was then marked.
There were clearly more than one drone in the sky, and nearly everyone who entered the Tianxing Area might have been monitored and pre-judged by their drones with AI recognition, receiving various labels.
And Tao Yu’s determined walking route had been directly annotated with ‘suspicious’…
