Chapter 366 [(*^▽^*)]
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Du Anxian cursed him in her heart, but still persuaded him in a gentle voice, "Are you still hesitating? When the old man kicked you out of the company, he knew that you would lose face in front of everyone, but he did not hesitate at all."
"If you're not willing... then let's leave it for now?"
Xue Zhengyang raised his hand, "No!"
He was still a bit hungover, his head throbbed, but he looked terrible. "I've thought it through a long time ago. It's just that I held an important position at the company before, so I still had some hope for my dad, but now..."
"It's not my fault. These things are clearly mine. I'm Dad's only son. Isn't it normal for him to give me all these things?"
Du Anxian smiled and replied, "Yes, that's normal."
Xue Zhengyang: "Does that old man really think of me as someone he can summon and dismiss at will? What do he take me for? Someone he can keep at the company if he wants me, and throw away if he doesn't!"
He stood up in anger and paced around the living room, looking extremely upset. Du Anxian then got up and went to the kitchen to tell the housekeeper to go home first, as she didn't need to stay today.
After the aunt left, only the two of them were left in the house. Oh! And there was a tiny mechanical spider that they knew nothing about.
Xue Zhengyang: "I'm so angry! That old man is heartless, so don't blame me. By the way, Ah Xian, have you found all the people you said you were looking for?"
Du Anxian nodded, "We found them all according to your requirements. We went to find them while concealing our identities. Even if they get caught, they won't know that we are the ones who hired them."
Xue Zhengyang: "That's good... But, what if people guess my identity?"
After all, they are the ones with the biggest conflict of interest with Old Master Xue and Xue Rui right now. Du Anxian had certainly thought of this, but she didn't have a good solution.
Everyone in their group knows how Xue Zhengyang treated Xue Rui before, so if they suddenly change their attitude and treat him well now in order to avoid suspicion, it will only backfire and make people more suspicious of them. So the best way is to do nothing.
Furthermore... there are many people who have grudges against the Xue family. When he was young, Old Master Xue was very powerful and created the legend of the Xue Group, but he also offended many people because of it.
It's not that he can't offend people if he doesn't want to. To create a business group, the road ahead is destined to be full of bloodshed. Even though Old Master Xue knows that making too many enemies is not good, he still can't avoid it.
Xue Zhengyang had been abducted several times when he was a child, and even had a car accident, but he had many bodyguards around him, so he never got into any trouble.
The country is now cracking down on organized crime, so there are very few people who are openly willing to accept employment, and everyone is afraid of being exposed.
So now they are very discreet, and the people they hire are well hidden, and their methods are very covert. I heard that they were responsible for several cases, but the police have not found any clues or traced them to the police. They are still at large.
Someone like Du Anxian would normally have no way of knowing about their existence, but the people she contacted before seemed to be rubbish. She made secret contacts but was unwilling to tell them who she was going to deal with.
Their distrust of them was very clear, so in the end, those people introduced this group of people over, and Du Anxian was finally relieved.
Xue Zhengyang continued to speak ill of Old Master Xue, saying that he was biased, that he was the real son, and so on. He also said that if they were exposed, these people would definitely be able to guess their identities even if they concealed them.
Du Anxian said, "Honey...so what if they guess who we are? Do they have any proof that it's us? When it comes time to make the deal, we can just give them cash or gold."
Xue Zhengyang paused slightly, then nodded, "Yes, you're right. Give them cash or gold. As long as they can't produce any evidence, it won't matter even if they guess it's us."
Xue Zhengyang's thoughts resurfaced, and he launched into a tirade against Old Master Xue. This time, his insults were far more offensive than before. Du Anxian naturally wanted to curse as well, but some things were acceptable to Xue Zhengyang but not to her. So, he often had to keep quiet.
After he calmed down, Du Anxian began to discuss their next course of action with him.
Xue Zhengyang suddenly said, "We just need to tell them our names and identities, right? As for the actions... wouldn't it be best to let them decide for themselves?"
Du Anxian blinked, surprised that Xue Zhengyang had shown such a clever idea. "You're so smart, honey. This is definitely the best way. We're both novices in this matter, so let's leave the professional stuff to the professionals. All we need to do is make sure neither of them survives."
Xue Zhengyang's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, his mind filled with images of himself wielding absolute power in the company after Old Master Xue and Xue Rui's deaths, unaware that...
Little did he know that the woman he loved most was sitting next to him and looking at him with a similar gaze to his own. Xue Qian was still young, and even if he were to become the actual person in charge of the company, it would take several more years.
However… it doesn’t matter that her son is still young; she’s old enough. When the time comes, she can go into the company with Xue Zhengyang first, secretly take control, and then…
Lin Leyou was thinking of enjoying these few months and planned to travel around the capital. He had six months, which was plenty of time. However, just as he was packing his things, he suddenly received a notification from the system.
"System notification: A level B elite monster from the Infinite World has escaped into the real world through a spacetime rift. Its location is H City, Z Province. Resident Lin Leyou has been forced to accept an extermination mission with a ten-day time limit! The reward for completing the mission is 1 million points and 10KG of gold!"
Points and gold!
Lin Leyou gasped. 10 kilograms of gold, how much money would that be in terms of currency... No matter how much it is, gold is meant to appreciate in value. If he had gold, he would definitely keep it at home.
But why is this a mandatory quest? And are there any penalties for failing the quest?
"System prompt: This task must not be known to players in the real world. The optimal solution is for resident Lin Leyou to complete it. A gold-tier item will be provided. Upon successful completion of the task, this item will be issued as one of the rewards!"
Lin Leyou immediately became interested. He really wanted this item. Just by looking at the name, he knew it was a good thing, and it was even a gold-grade item!
However, just to be on the safe side, Lin Leyou still inquired about the consequences of failing the mission, and also mentioned that a Special Cases Administration Bureau had been established in the real world!
What if I get caught or photographed while completing my mission? I'd be doomed! So much time has passed; there must be all sorts of strange and unusual gadgets out there. Maybe they can identify someone just by seeing a fleeting glimpse of them on the security camera!
"System prompt: During the mission, the system will provide certain assistance to ensure that the resident's identity is not discovered. Failure to complete the mission will result in a deduction of 10 million points!"
"Hiss!" Ten million points will be deducted!
Of course, compared to the gold-tier equipment, ten million points are nothing, especially such a special gold-tier equipment. Lin Leyou looked at his half-packed luggage, put everything back in its place, and then took out the gold-tier equipment that was temporarily his and could be used in the real world from his spatial storage.
The screen displays a map of H City with two dots: a green dot representing himself and a red dot representing his current mission target, an elite monster of danger level B.
Does "danger level B" mean a mini-boss or something similar within a dungeon with a difficulty level of B?
Never mind that, the most important thing right now is to finish the task quickly.
He glanced at the sky outside, which was just beginning to lighten. It would be daytime soon. Was it really okay to go out and find elite monsters in broad daylight?
"It's okay, let's find it first and then do it tonight."
Lin Leyou changed his clothes, put on a mask and hat, but didn't wear his sunglasses on his eyes. Instead, he put them in his backpack and would wear them in case of an emergency.
Moreover, Lin Leyou walked out instead of taking a taxi. As he walked, he checked the map on the prop and found that he was indeed getting closer and closer to the red dot.
But the further I walked, the more something felt off. Was this direction somewhat familiar?
Isn't this the villa complex where I bought my house? What's going on? Is that elite monster over there?
No, no, if it's over there, what if something goes wrong and my house is gone? These elite monsters don't care whose house it is, they can smash it and destroy it as they please!
He arrived at the villa complex early, first checking on his house to make sure everything was alright and that the elite monster wasn't near his home before he breathed a sigh of relief.
However… he silently zoomed in on the map on the screen and finally confirmed that the elite monster was actually located near Xue Zhengyang's house!
Lin Leyou's first thought was not anything else, but that Xue Rui must have arranged mechanical spiders to monitor Xue Zhengyang's house, and that he would definitely be seen by the mechanical spiders.
The system said it could help him, but he didn't know exactly how. However, he soon discovered another item in his backpack.
It is a temporary item, only valid during the mission period, and will automatically disappear after the mission is completed.
"Demon Mask: A gold-plated item. When you put on the Demon Mask, your entire body will be covered in swirling black mist, making it impossible for any surveillance equipment or item to track your true identity in any way! Other functions are not available!"
nice one!
Lin Leyou immediately wanted to buy the Demon Mask. Since the Demon Mask was a gold-grade item, it must have other functions, except that it didn't provide the last one!
"System, can I buy this?"
