"Boss, come in!" Anita called out to the door, trying her best to remain calm.
Jiang Chu nodded before entering the bathroom.
But what Jiang Chu saw before him startled him slightly.
Anita was completely submerged in the bathtub, with only her head sticking out.
Fortunately, Jiang Chu remained unmoved.
“Excuse me, boss, I haven’t finished showering yet,” Anita said.
"It's alright." Jiang Chu nodded, then pulled up a chair and sat down next to Anita.
"Boss, is there any news about Salenkov?" Anita asked.
“Yes, there’s news,” Jiang Chu said. “He has appeared in Tianzhou.”
Jiang Chu was actually under some pressure when he said those words.
He was somewhat worried that Anita might get nervous or excited, causing her emotions to fluctuate.
However, he did not sense any significant emotional fluctuations from the other party, nor did he perceive any fluctuations in their overall combat strength.
“Boss, I hope this doesn’t cause any casualties among our people,” Anita said. “Salenkov is very cunning. His coming to Tianzhou might not be a good thing. We need to think things through carefully before we take action.”
"Don't worry, I will," Jiang Chu said.
He really wanted to ask the other person why they were so calm, but then he thought it was a bit silly.
Both gene unlocking and daily training will lead to the growth of wisdom points, among which mental maturity is an important foundation.
Like Huo Xiao, who was hot-tempered and reckless when he first met Jiang Chu, Huo Xiao has now mastered the art of controlling his temper.
He will grow, but won't Anita, who has a higher intelligence point count, also grow?
It will only grow faster.
...
Meanwhile, in Tianzhou.
The inspections in the city are getting stricter every day.
Even Salenkov, who lived a secluded life in the city, felt the pressure.
On his table sat a bottle of chilled vodka, and the appetizer was not raw pork slices, but a vegetarian medley from Tianzhou.
Salenkov was a guy who could easily adapt to local customs; he liked good food, beautiful women, and fine wine.
However, the brewing process of Tianzhou liquor is quite different from that of vodka, resulting in a richer and more mellow flavor with a higher alcohol content, which he is not used to drinking.
However, this kind of vegetarian dish, which contains vegetables such as wood ear fungus, cauliflower, celery, and carrots, and is lightly seasoned with Sichuan peppercorn oil and a little salt, suits his taste very well.
Of course, a plate of what the people of Tianzhou call "spiced nuts" is indispensable.
The screen prominently displayed the finals of the National Rookie King Tournament held at Xinghai University.
Today, the contestants will finish their individual all-around competition this morning.
Now, with the four matches over, Salenkov's drowsy, drunken eyes could only see Jiang Chu and Anita.
“How come it looks so much like Sasha?” Salenkov said, but he quickly contradicted himself, “No, it’s not Sasha.”
Indeed, Anita is no longer like Sasha.
In the past, Sasha's punches and kicks were powerful and forceful, without any defense or way out for herself.
This is also a characteristic inherited from the Skull Rose.
But now it's completely different.
Anita is good at both offense and defense, especially her defense, which has become outstanding. Although she couldn't gain an advantage in the confrontation with Jiang Chu, she was very effective when facing other opponents.
Moreover, Anita's counterattacks were sharp.
“Appearances can change, but martial arts styles and personalities are the same. How could they change in such a short time? My poor daughter, she must have been murdered!”
Thinking of this, Salenkov poured himself another glass of wine, muttered "ZBC" to himself, and then drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, his eyes showed some confusion and disappointment.
Suddenly, Salenkov's phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and was momentarily stunned.
It's an unfamiliar number from overseas.
Salenkov quickly calmed himself down and, after a full ten seconds, answered the phone.
After communicating with the other party using their usual Morse code to confirm their identity, he then said to them, "Boss, any new mission?"
"No new mission, just a reminder that you should drink in moderation." The boss's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
"I'm sorry," Salenkov said.
The alcohol made him feel somewhat uneasy.
His body had been implanted with a more terrifying poison than Anita's, and there were even listening devices that could monitor Salenkov's heartbeat and the condition inside his body at any time.
Therefore, the eldest brother could know when Salenkov was drinking.
“Things aren’t going well, but that’s no excuse for drinking,” the boss continued. “This is a one-time thing, and don’t do it again.”
"Yes, boss." Salenkov didn't nod, and his gaze became somewhat wooden.
He came to Tianzhou with a huge purpose this time.
Jiang Chu was captured alive.
If that's not possible, then kill Jiang Chu.
There was nothing they could do; Barkov had been seriously injured while capturing Jiang Chu and was still recovering.
Barkov is no longer a reliable candidate; his only remaining role is to maintain contact with Dovka and further clarify Jiangchu's return date.
They cannot operate in the Star Sea, because the Star Sea is now surrounded like an iron barrel, and if they act rashly, something bad will happen.
This is an outcome they do not want to happen.
"If things really get to the point where they can't be handled, then find a way to sacrifice yourself for the greater good!"
But remember, the price you pay for this sacrifice is at least killing Jiang Chu, or killing many more Xia Kingdom geniuses like Jiang Chu.
