During this wait, time passed slowly and night began to cover the entire imperial capital.
As night falls, Jinhai Pavilion's business becomes increasingly popular, and the tables on the second floor are almost full.
At this time, the waiter came over and said to Lin Hao respectfully: "Sir, have you finished your meal?"
Looking at the empty plate, Lin Hao nodded and said, "Well, I'm waiting for someone. Sit for a while."
As he spoke, Lin Hao casually took out two gold coins and handed them to the waiter as a tip.
However, the waiter showed no sign of leaving. He continued to stand there and said with a smile, "There is a VIP room on the third floor of our store. Guests can move there and wait. There will be an artist playing a song called "Appointment in Purple Night."
Hearing this, Lin Hao was about to say no, but then he had an idea.
A date in the purple night?
Lin Hao was slightly surprised. Could it be a secret code?
Because his boss, whose name is Zi Ye, had agreed to meet here.
If you think about it, the appointment with Zi Ye is very consistent.
It is not difficult to see that the woman is really cautious.
Lin Hao immediately understood what he meant and said indifferently, "Okay."
In this way, under the guidance of the waiter, Lin Hao came to the VIP room on the third floor of the restaurant.
Here, there are many private rooms arranged like a maze.
Moreover, the sound insulation effect is excellent, and the noisy noise downstairs is almost inaudible here.
Xiaobai was wearing a fur hat and looking around curiously.
"Sir, if you want to listen to the little song of Purple Night's Appointment, please go to the third VIP room on the right of this corridor."
The waiter had a professional smile on his face and spoke respectfully.
"Um."
Lin Hao nodded calmly, then walked straight inside.
In this quiet environment, Lin Hao's footsteps were crisp and loud.
Lin Hao's face was calm, but the spiritual power in his body was already quietly circulating, ready to be prepared for any sudden changes at any time.
Although Zi Ye was his superior, he had only met him twice from the time they first met to the time they met in person.
Lin Hao secretly became more cautious towards that kind of cold-blooded assassin.
Soon, Lin Hao arrived at the private room that the waiter mentioned.
However, I found that the door of the compartment was not made of wood, but a metal door, which looked extremely sturdy.
Moreover, one could vaguely sense a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Lin Hao had learned a little about the rune course in the magic class today. He guessed that there should be a rune formation hidden inside the metal door.
But he couldn't be sure whether the runes contained therein were dangerous.
After a slight hesitation, Lin Hao took out an iron rod from his storage ring and knocked on the metal door twice without any physical contact.
“Ding ding~!”
As the hammer struck, a sound like the ringing of a bell suddenly came out.
At the same time, Lin Hao stepped to the right and did not choose to stand directly in front of the door.
After a while, the metal door opened.
What came into view was a graceful purple figure with a cold face and eyes as clear as water, without any emotional fluctuations.
This person is Lin Hao’s immediate superior, Zi Ye.
"You are quite cautious."
Zi Ye turned his eyes and looked at Lin Hao who was standing beside the door and the iron sword in his hand, and couldn't help but speak.
"In our line of work, it's safer to be careful about everything."
Lin Hao didn't care and smiled calmly.
"Very opinionated, good."
As Zi Ye spoke, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Normally, she was always as cold as ice, but this slight smile at this moment gave people a stunning feeling like blooming snowflakes.
"Come in."
Immediately, Zi Ye brought Lin Hao into the room.
With the help of Sibao's vision, Lin Hao looked around the environment inside.
However, the room was very spacious, and the walls were all made of metal, almost airtight.
In the central area, there is a long table and dozens of chairs.
It looks like a conference room, and the atmosphere is solemn.
At the very front of the table, there was a man in a black robe sitting upright.
He was wearing a dark gold mask that covered the upper half of his face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
But he has a strong aura and you can tell at first glance that he is no small character.
"There are three organizations in Mingge: Sky, Fire, and Cloud."
Zi Ye looked at Lin Hao and explained, "Each group has different tasks to perform."
"The Heaven Group focuses on killing."
"Fire Team, main punishment."
"Cloud Team, responsible for intelligence gathering."
Having said this, Zi Ye paused slightly.
She stared at Lin Hao and continued, "Besides you and me, there is another person here. I believe that with your ability, you should have noticed it a long time ago."
"He is the leader of our Tian Group, his name is Dark Eagle."
After listening to what Zi Ye said, Lin Hao nodded secretly.
This is a preliminary understanding of the scale of the Underworld Pavilion, and none of its members use their real names.
"So you are Jing Ke. You look younger than I thought."
At this time, the masked man 'Dark Eagle' suddenly spoke.
His voice is steady and powerful, and his tone of voice gives people a feeling that he is in control of everything.
"I heard from Zi Ye that you have completed the mission. Do you have any proof?"
Dark Eagle asked with a sullen expression.
It seems that it is extremely unreliable that Lin Hao could kill his prey so quickly.
Because in recent years, Yang Chengji has been hiding in the core campus of Tianyan Academy, and the assassins sent out by Mingge have always returned in failure.
During this period, they even fell into a trap set by Yang Chengji and lost two high-level assassins.
Judging from the aura of Lin Hao in front of him, it is obvious that he has the cultivation level of only a third-level warrior.
Facing Yang Chengji, let alone sneaking into the core campus, it would be quite difficult even if he fought alone.
Therefore, with all the doubts put together, it is hard to believe that Yang Chengji had really been assassinated by Lin Hao.
"When I speak, I always mean one and two."
Lin Hao said calmly, "Since the mission has been completed, why should I be mysterious?"
After saying that, he didn't waste any more time talking to the other party. He reached for the storage ring with his right hand, took out a bloody package, and threw it directly on the table in front of him.
"This is?"
Seeing Lin Hao's actions, Zi Ye was slightly surprised.
Dark Hawk's eyes darkened slightly, as if he had guessed something.
"You want proof, right? This is the evidence."
"No need to guess, just open it and you will know."
Lin Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down casually.
That comfortable posture showed none of the restraint one would feel when facing a superior.
In his view, the relationship between the two parties is like an employment relationship.
You give me money, and I do the work.
If the price cannot be agreed upon, the contract will be terminated.
His point of view is that he will not submit to any organization.
