"Level C?"

"Can a C-rank instantly kill Xu Tang? What are you bunch of good-for-nothings good for! Can a C-rank be eaten?"

Manager Guo roared as he slammed his hand heavily on the table.

He was very clear about Xu Tang's strength. Let alone a C-level target, even if there were a hundred Awakened Ones there, they would not be able to kill Xu Tang.

The person who could instantly kill Xu Tang must be incredibly powerful, at least a high-level Awakened.

Judging from all the signs, this Class C target is definitely being protected in secret.

Supervisor Guo naturally knew the difference in this mission, as it was ordered by the representative of the Central Plains Military Headquarters.

Even the deputy leader came in person, but for some reason, he ended up entrusting everything to him.

Therefore, although he was only the supervisor in this task, he had real power.

But no one expected that the Central Plains Military Headquarters would give out false information.

This false intelligence even fooled their multiple layers of review, and after the final review, it was only given a level C danger rating, which directly led to Xu Tang's death.

After a moment of contemplation, Supervisor Guo looked up and instructed a staff member:

"You, immediately raise the danger level of this mission objective to A, and then have the logistics department deduct all funds from the mission issuer's budget."

The staff member looked troubled and whispered a reminder:

"But Manager Guo, what's the employer's identity...?"

"I know, but the information they provided is clearly wrong. It's very likely they're deliberately hiding something from us," Manager Guo said with a serious expression.

"Understood." The staff member nodded thoughtfully before turning to leave.

Supervisor Guo's face was grim, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

If this employer isn't a hidden high-ranking member of the Central Plains Military Department, then the Assassin Alliance will pay a price for daring to deceive them like this.

Thinking of this, Manager Guo reached for the phone on the table and said in an icy tone:

"Get me a representative from the Central State employers."

Soon, a calm voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Manager Guo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hearing the other party's nonchalant words, Manager Guo snorted coldly and cut straight to the point:

"You provided incorrect intelligence, which caused us to lose a top-notch assassin. If we want to continue this mission, this price is not enough."

When questioned, the representative from Zhongzhou simply smiled and responded nonchalantly:

"Manager Guo, in my opinion, it's clearly because your assassins were not skilled enough. It's one thing for them to fail the mission, but how can you blame us?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Guo was immediately enraged and slammed his fist on the table.

"You're talking nonsense! You and I both know Xu Tang's true strength perfectly well."

"The C-level target you provided could instantly kill Xu Tang? Is that even possible? There's definitely something fishy going on here!"

Upon hearing the other party suddenly resort to insults, the Zhongzhou representative's voice suddenly lowered, his words filled with a strong sense of threat:

"Manager Guo, are you blaming us?"

Manager Guo said coldly, without any fear:

"I don't care how much power you have in Zhongzhou. You've deceived our Assassin Alliance, so you must give us an explanation!"

"Explain? Haha, you think you're worthy?" The representative from Zhongzhou sneered disdainfully. A force like this, which could only hide underground, would scare them to death rather than dare to oppose the General of Zhongzhou.

Upon hearing this, Manager Guo laughed in fury: "Fine, fine, fine!"

He slammed the phone down abruptly. He hadn't encountered such blatant provocation in many years.

Supervisor Guo looked at the relevant documents for this mission in his hand, his face grim.

Since the representatives from Zhongzhou are not going to give a reasonable explanation, then they will go and collect it themselves.

"Someone, temporarily halt this mission and send someone to see if we can retrieve Xu Tang's body."

"yes."

......

Meanwhile, in Wucheng...

Xu Tang, whose head had just been shot, rolled twice more in the direction of Li Linglong due to inertia.

Just as Li Linglong sensed the danger, she saw that Xu Tang, who had rushed up, had already been shot dead by Li Yu with an arrow.

"Be careful." Fu Xiyao stepped forward and shielded Li Linglong behind her.

Fu Xiyao had no idea that Li Linglong, who looked so young, was far more powerful than her.

Li Linglong's heart, as clear as red crystal, could clearly perceive the concern and care that her new brother Li Yu and sister-in-law had for her.

This feeling of being valued and cared for warmed Li Linglong's heart.

And he became even more determined to become stronger so that he could help Li Yu in the future.

However, since entering Zhongzhou, she has not found an opportunity to activate her superpower, which has prevented her from improving her strength recently, which has undoubtedly caused her some distress.

Just then, Li Linglong's red eyes darted around, and a brilliant idea instantly popped into her mind.

So, when no one was looking, she secretly activated her superpower.

In an instant, a beam of red light shot out from his fingertips and entered the body of Xu Tang, who had just died.

However, Li Linglong did not intend to tell Li Yu about this. Instead, she decided to secretly control the corpse to increase her strength.

When she becomes stronger and the time is right, she will reveal this secret to the public. At that time, it will surely bring an unexpected and huge surprise to Brother Li Yu!

Thinking about this, Li Linglong became happier and happier, and her joy was evident on her face.

She happily imagined, "By then, I might have enough power to protect Brother Li Yu!"
