"What benefits could they possibly get from Xu Hao?" Miyamoto Chie asked in puzzlent.
"Plenty of benefits, of course. But even if I told you, you wouldn't understand, so forget it. Co on, I'll let you see with your own eyes how my people are going to snatch those two won of Xu Hao's!"
The mysterious man let out a sly chuckle, led Miyamoto Chie into a room, and took out a laptop. On the screen was the feed from a surveillance cara.
"Xu Hao probably never dread that right after those two won of i Xuezi checked into the hotel, our people imdiately set up caras nearby to keep a close eye on everything around them," he said proudly.
Miyamoto Chie stared intently at the footage.
It was nightti. On the screen, five n in black suddenly appeared in the middle of the fra. The five of them each gave a little nod, then, like geckos, started climbing up the hotel wall.
The mysterious man said from the side, "See that? Those are our ninjas. Their strength is only at Genin or Chunin level, but they're extrely good at climbing. They're specially trained for theft, often used to steal classified docunts and the like. But this ti, to deal with Xu Hao's people, the higher-ups made an exception and sent them out, just to maximize our chances of success."
In the cara's view, they quickly climbed up to the floor where i Xuezi and the other woman were staying.
So as not to alarm too many people, they wouldn't break in through the windows. Instead, they would move in through the hallway, then use their expert lock-picking skills to open the door and abduct the two won.
The feed switched, cutting to another cara angle.
One ninja in front was picking the lock. It only took a few seconds before the door swung open.
The five of them quietly slipped inside, using the faint moonlight to survey the room.
Miyamoto Chie was so nervous she didn't even dare breathe loudly, as if she herself were the one walking into that room.
Very soon, she saw i Xuezi and Zhen izi lying on the bed!
"Grab them!"
Miyamoto Chie couldn't help shouting out loud, and the five ninjas all rushed forward, clearly intending to seize them in one go.
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Sigh, is that how little you think of ? You send a few pieces of trash like this and think you can take my people?"
"Xu Hao's back!" Miyamoto Chie was so shocked she fell flat on her butt, as if she'd just encountered sothing that shattered her very divine soul.
The mysterious man outright shouted, "How is Xu Hao back?! Wasn't he supposed to be staying in Huaya for a long ti? How did he return so fast?!"
Zhen izi and i Xuezi woke up from their sleep. They had no idea what was going on. i Xuezi, still groggy, said, "Master Xu, did you just get back? You should lie down and rest... Wait, why can't I see your body?"
Xu Hao's figure slowly erged out of the darkness, as if he hadn't existed at all a mont ago. He suddenly looked toward the cara and chuckled. "You two on the other side of the lens, do you still think you have any hope? Are you very surprised I managed to get back so quickly?
I can tell you this: everything you've done has been under my people's surveillance from the start. I just wanted to cast a long line and see what big fish was behind you. But you just had to go looking for death and dared to lay hands on the people around . That, I can't tolerate."
The two won, i Xuezi and Zhen izi, were so frightened they curled up together. How did Xu Hao just appear out of thin air?
Miyamoto Chie pointed at Xu Hao and shouted, "A g-ghost! You've got to be a ghost!"
Xu Hao chuckled. "I heard Miyamoto Chie say I'm a ghost? This is just a thod you people don't know about. Look at how scared you are—pathetic."
i Xuezi looked at Xu Hao with open curiosity, even reaching out a hand to touch his face. Halfway there, she changed course to feel his arm instead and, realizing it was a warm body, finally relaxed.
She'd really been terrified. The way Xu Hao suddenly appeared just now was simply too frightening.
Zhen izi tried to put on a calm front, but in truth she'd been badly spooked as well.
In the middle of the night, a person suddenly pops out of nowhere in your room—how could you not be scared?
The mysterious man blurted out in shock, "You… you actually understand what we're saying? How? Did you steal our communications? Or did you plant a bugging device over here?!"
"Clever. My people did plant a bugging device on your side, so of course I know what you're planning and what you're saying. All right, ga over. Be honest and tell which organization you're from and why you're targeting , and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, don't bla for what happens next." Xu Hao's voice suddenly turned icy as he questioned him.
People were getting bolder and bolder these days, daring ti and again to do things Xu Hao could never forgive. Did they really not understand that no one was allowed to touch the people around Xu Hao?
