Chapter 981: Chapter 754: You Need Not Be Hostile Toward
“Hmm.”
As Lin Wu’s words fell, a cold answer echoed.
A shapely woman’s figure suddenly appeared out of thin air on the empty carpet.
Without the slightest warning.
Half of her face was covered with a silver tal plate, but the other half revealed a skin white as snow with eyes black as lacquer.
Her waist, without an ounce of excess flesh, was tightly wrapped in a layer of body-fitting tallic fabric.
Although no skin was exposed, it only made the contours of her body even clearer.
Sleek black long hair couldn’t hide the perfect side S-curve.
Combined with her cold and emotionless face, as soon as she stepped out, she would undoubtedly trigger the desire for conquest in countless n.
But Lin Wu did not look up at this stunning beauty.
He continued to focus on the Light Computer screen, filled with densely packed information, occasionally reaching out to swipe on the virtual screen.
“Luo, have you tracked them?”
Lin Wu asked casually, then raised his eyes, looking gently at the cold beauty opposite him.
Prince Xuyang’s gifted capable assistant—
One of the Light and Dark Guards, Luo!
She was a spy capable of standing at the peak of this universe.
She was a born agent.
“No.”
Luo’s answer was indeed sowhat unexpected for Lin Wu.
“Oh? Tell about it.” Hearing this, Lin Wu finally showed so interest, withdrew his hands from the virtual screen, and sat down on a side chair, pouring himself a cup of tea.
“There’s soone very skillful next to them,”
“What, the information was misleading?”
“No.” Luo shook her head, sparing words like gold, her sleek black hair swaying, but her face showed no change in expression, speaking in a tone devoid of emotion.
“Instead, I was stopped.”
Lin Wu, just lifting the tea lid to blow away the steam, suddenly paused, then asked curiously, “You were stopped in your concealed state?”
“Yes, I did not reveal myself; the other party suddenly appeared on my path.”
“Academy people?”
“Can’t determine, the other party wore a face covering and only seed to be blocking without intent to engage.”
“What about their strength?” Lin Wu didn’t drink the cup of tea but put down the teacup, touching his brow thoughtfully.
“They had a strange firearm that triggered so components within , a natural suppression; I had no chance of winning,” Luo said frankly.
“I thought the fog had just cleared, but it turns out I’ve only lifted a corner.”
“Hmm, the adversary’s background needs to be reassessed. Luo, you may leave for now, and infiltrate the Tang family shortly; copy the files you deem important for .”
Lin Wu’s gaze fell on those emotionless eyes, watching curiously.
He wasn’t an intelligence officer for the Empire; he was rely laying out plans for his own endeavors.
Anyway, that disruptor had already left Blue Capital Star.
“Yes.”
Without the slightest tremor in her long eyelashes, Luo didn’t react to Lin Wu’s gaze, rely nodding icily before her figure slowly disappeared in front of Lin Wu…
Leaving only a highly concealed and faintly distorted transparent outline.
Then, after Lin Wu blinked again, this outline vanished too.
Only the gentle sound of the archway closing was heard.
Click.
Lin Wu chuckled and shook his head.
…
Mu Fan and the man with the small mustache stood shoulder to shoulder.
Both looked out into the tranquil depths of the Star Sea, the pitch-black, transparent backdrop pulling their vision infinitely far.
Mu Fan and the other man each held a magazine made of premium copperplate paper.
But besides the two of them, no one noticed the ink-screen card hidden among the pages of the magazine.
The man with the small mustache raised his right hand, and Mu Fan noticed a conspicuous tal ring on the other’s index finger.
At this mont, he rubbed the ring lightly with the pad of his thumb.
And Mu Fan suddenly felt his ears…
Fall into silence.
“Force of habit.”
The man smiled at Mu Fan.
However, Mu Fan had no desire to engage in deep conversation with the other; he rely looked outside the window.
“State your business.”
“I haven’t dealt with your two companions, but on your side, there are three groups tracking you.”
The man’s gaze lingered on the distant stars outside the window, the two appearing like old friends reuniting after a long ti, jointly admiring the profound stars, yet his words were full of straightforward information.
Three groups?
Mu Fan’s brow twitched almost imperceptibly; from start to finish, Black hadn’t alerted him to any tracking traces, not even he had detected anything.
With his perception and Black’s escort, to be trailed by three groups without noticing was almost impossible.
Moreover, why did soone from the Gardot Empire have to reveal this matter?
Thinking of this, Mu Fan faintly began to guess the other’s intentions.
Seemingly attempting to… recruit him?
An olive branch from the Gardot Empire? Or perhaps the other wasn’t from Gardot and had just been pretending?
The man with the small mustache suddenly turned to look at Mu Fan, “If Mr. Mu has any questions, feel free to ask.”
“I don’t believe you.”
The man with the small mustache wasn’t fazed by Mu Fan’s words, only smiled, holding the book in one hand and pointing at himself with the other.
“Am I not an exception?”
Mu Fan remained silent. Indeed, the man had appeared by his side without his noticing.
This caused Mu Fan to reassess his previously dismissive view of superpower intelligence work.
It seed he had underestimated these superpowers…
“Of course, I’m not among those three groups. What I an to say is that my companions led two groups elsewhere, and my other companion stopped the third, more special tracker. Perhaps the world isn’t as quiet as it seems.”
The man glanced out the window, speaking in a light tone.
Mu Fan blinked in acknowledgnt, “Then what do you want? Or do you think you can corner here now?”
“You need not hold any hostility towards . I’m only here by my master’s orders… to have a look at you.”
“Are you from the Mountain Mist Association? Is this a tactic to win hearts?” Upon hearing this tone, Mu Fan’s mind instantly locked onto a possibility.
Undoubtedly, only the Mountain Mist Association would have such a motive now.
From beginning to end, they had been assisting him, with a very clear purpose of recruiting him.
“Mountain Mist Association… Ke Qingshan’s side? Ah, no.” The man with the small mustache both smiled and shook his head, “You’ve provided with critical information. I’ve already said I’m indeed from the Gardot Empire.”
Mu Fan fell silent once more, The man casually ntioning Ke Qingshan’s na without the slightest ripple.
This calmness wasn’t feigned but genuine composure.
His judgnt had truly failed this ti, and even Black couldn’t quickly infiltrate ten light years away into the third Star District or the vast domain of the Gardot Empire to verify the other’s background.
“Mr. Mu need not worry too much. My master holds no malice towards you; on the contrary, this is a goodwill gesture unseen before. I hope you won’t make things difficult for . I know your strength isn’t sothing I could withstand.”
The man with the small mustache smiled, “Actually, I also have a task, though its completion depends on your willingness, and we’re not forcing anything.”
Mu Fan remained noncommittal, “Go on.”
At this mont, he could only take things one step at a ti, and he suddenly found himself worried about the whereabouts of Yin Shuai and Harry.
“Your parents on Loga Star aren’t your biological ones, are they?”
Mu Fan’s scalp instantly went numb, his eyes suddenly sharpening!
