"Wasn’t I just worried about that old lady being in a hurry and dropping sothing? But I never expected that even with my speed, I couldn’t catch up to her. That person is definitely not ordinary."
Tang Ming replied helplessly, not wanting to cause panic among the two girls during the holidays.
"Woof woof woof..."
At this mont, Dingdang Dog trotted over, carrying a small white object. In the little one’s paws was a silver-gray feathered arrow.
"What is this?"
Liu ngting was the first to notice the arrow and looked at Li Xiaoli with confusion: "Is this one of those quirky things you bought back?"
"This isn’t mine."
Li Xiaoli shook her head.
"No need to look, this belongs to that old lady."
Tang Ming pulled a Soul Chasing Crossbow out of his canvas bag, then took the feathered arrow from the little one and fitted it onto the crossbow.
"So that old lady really was suspicious?"
Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting’s faces changed dramatically as they realized the person was carrying a weapon.
"She probably intended to do sothing bad, but she didn’t expect the little one’s perception to be so strong. It could sense the murderous intent from her and detected danger, so it stole the arrow when she wasn’t paying attention."
Tang Ming laughed oddly: "The little one really deserves the na Mysterious Snow Spirit, its sense of crisis is far superior to ours."
"So that’s how it is. Humph, I knew sothing was off. If only we had given her a pile of poison to eat earlier, letting her have malicious intent...I’m so pissed!"
Li Xiaoli cursed fiercely.
"Truly, you never know a person’s true heart. Who would have thought that such a pitiable old lady would be so insidious? It’s so despicable."
Liu ngting was infuriated that the person tried to exploit her kindness and compassion to do bad things. If she ever t her again, she’d definitely teach her a lesson.
"We’re really lucky to have had the little one this ti."
Tang Ming played with the Soul Chasing Crossbow in his hands and explained: "This thing is called a Soul Chasing Crossbow, also known as a Gang-Breaking Crossbow. Even if it hits a Nine-star Martial Master’s Gang Qi directly, it would penetrate. If the other side had succeeded in their sneak attack, even if I hadn’t died, I’d be severely injured."
"Such a small thing can be so powerful?"
Liu ngting inhaled sharply.
Li Xiaoli’s eyes were sparkling at this mont.
"Let show you its power."
Tang Ming smiled, raised the Soul Chasing Crossbow, and aid it at the stone lion on the left side of the villa’s entrance, then pulled the trigger.
"Swish!"
A silver flash passed, and a black hole appeared in the stone lion’s forehead. After penetrating the stone lion, the arrowhead embedded itself in the cent wall, showcasing its terrifying power.
"Wow, it’s amazing, way more powerful than a gun!"
Li Xiaoli scread in excitent and then pounced on Tang Ming: "I want, I want, I want this Soul Chasing Crossbow."
"Haha, take it for self-defense. But be extrely careful, if it accidentally hurts soone, it would be a disaster."
Tang Ming chuckled and tossed the bow and crossbow to Li Xiaoli.
"Don’t worry, I would never use it to harm good people!"
Li Xiaoli took the crossbow and imdiately ran under the wall to pull out the feathered arrow, but it took a lot of effort, and she still couldn’t pull it out.
"Xiaoli, unless absolutely necessary, never use this weapon. First, its power is too great; second, there’s only one arrowhead, use it and it’s gone."
Tang Ming helped Li Xiaoli pull out the feathered arrow, though he held back so words.
The material of this arrow is the sa as the material of a bomb’s casing, both being extrely rare alloys. That’s precisely why the assassin only had one arrow. If the opponent had brought more arrows, he wouldn’t have dared to act nonchalant.
After getting her hands on the treasure, Li Xiaoli didn’t bother tidying up, and in ecstasy, she took the item into the house to study it.
Liu ngting glanced at Tang Ming with a complicated expression before heading inside as well.
"The little one is impressive; apparently, the little bat is even more incredible."
Tang Ming patted his shoulder and muttered to himself: "Xiaoli seems to have forgotten about naming the little bat. I can’t just keep calling it little bat. What should I na it?"
After thinking for a mont, Tang Ming saw the little one and Dingdang Dog playing on the ground, and his eyes lit up: "Let’s call it Little Red, seems like a perfect match with Little White."
Gao Ya lay at her room’s window, watching Tang Ming in the yard as he casually claid the Soul Chasing Crossbow for himself, almost bursting into tears.
In this assassination attempt on Tang Ming, not only was she tornted to the brink, but she also lost a Soul Chasing Crossbow—a genuinely valuable item!
"Damn bastard, he thwarted my assassination attempt without even lifting a finger. Is he even human?" Gao Ya climbed onto the bed, cursing through gritted teeth.
The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt, until she couldn’t help but ssage Ouyang Xiao, complaining: "My dear, my assassination attempt on Tang Ming has failed again."
"Huh? Are you okay?"
Ouyang Xiao quickly replied.
"I was a little aggrieved, but still alive. When will you finish up and co see ?"
Gao Ya asked longingly.
"I can’t leave right now; the organization is having its year-end eting. Just hang in there a little longer, and I’ll co by as soon as I’m done."
Ouyang Xiao responded.
"Alright, co over as soon as you can."
Knowing Ouyang Xiao holds a significant position in the Poison Widow Organization, Gao Ya kindly replied, not wanting to disturb further.
"No, after enduring so much, I can’t let this go. I must find soone to research how to kill Tang Ming."
Fuming further, Gao Ya eventually pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
The newly opened Mo Family hotel had started operations, but recently it hung a sign for temporary closure, only catering to certain special groups.
These were the subordinate forces and families affiliated with the hidden Mo Family. They gathered together for one reason: the representative of the hidden Mo Family was holding the year-end eting at the newly opened hotel.
The hotel conference hall was already seated with quite a few people, with Ouyang Xiao and Mo Hongsheng among them.
A man wearing a silver clown mask, dressed in a red suit, sat at the head of the conference table—this was the representative of the hidden Mo Family. Though he hailed from the hidden Mo Family, no one knew his true identity, only that his code na was Clown, the spokesperson for the hidden Mo Family.
To Clown’s right sat a mysterious person in a black cloak hiding their face, while the seat opposite this mysterious person, also to Clown’s right, was empty.
Mo Hongsheng and Shura were seated on the left and right side, second positions, respectively. The positions below Mo Hongsheng were occupied by prominent figures active in various major cities, while those below Shura consisted of covert figures like Ouyang Xiao and Yaksha, effectively making Mo Hongsheng’s faction the intelligence system, and Shura’s faction the military system.
