In a residential area in the western part of Mio City.
Two men with Asian faces were sitting on a park bench. One had a thin face, while the other had a broad face. The thin-faced man was holding a black handbag and was whispering something with the other man.
"The leader of the Forsaken, Night Crow, is right here?" the broad-faced man said seriously.
The thin-faced man nodded. "There's only one light-spot cat cafe in the entire Mio City. It must be here."
"I didn't expect that the Night Crow would be taken in by China, but I don't understand why they would put such an important person in such an ordinary cat cafe." The broad-faced man scratched his scalp, a little confused.
"Maybe this is just bait to lure us in. That cat cafe might be surrounded by people from the Institute of Biological Sciences, guarding it 24 hours a day." The thin-faced man clenched his handbag. "Let's be careful. Let's have a cup of coffee in the cat cafe first, then leave. I deliberately left this bag there."
And in the bag was a bomb they had prepared long ago!
The two were sure that if this bomb exploded, the cat cafe would be blown up into the sky!
They can't get the Night Crow, and they certainly can't leave it to China. After all, the Night Crow's ability is too terrifying.
The two men discussed their strategy for a while, then stood up and prepared to act. At this moment, a blond man in a black suit suddenly popped his head out from behind the bench and said, "Huha!"
"Holy shit!" The two men were so frightened that they stepped back repeatedly, almost falling to the ground. Then the thin-faced man immediately reacted, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes: "What did you just hear?!"
"Ah? What did you hear?" The blond man looked confused and spoke fluent Chinese.
After a moment of confusion, the blond man smiled and began to introduce himself: "Hello, my name is Liu Tao, and I'm a magician. I saw that you two were bored staying here, so I thought of showing you my magic tricks."
After saying that, Liu Tao bowed to the two of them very gracefully.
This was the magician who had been found by Chen Cheng and Liu Su lying in the snow due to hunger. After performing his magic trick, he was ruthlessly exposed by Chen Cheng.
But in the end, Shen Cheng still left him twenty yuan, which helped him get through the most difficult period.
"Not interested!" The wide-faced man was relieved when he saw that Liu Tao didn't seem to hear their conversation. Then he turned around with an annoyed look and prepared to leave with the thin-faced man.
"Hey~" Liu Tao dodged and stood in front of the two people. "Come and take a look. I'm very confident in my magic. Besides, my magic is invisible to ordinary people. You may only see it once in your lifetime. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next one."
Looking at this plaster-like man, veins popped out on the broad-faced man's forehead and he clenched his fists silently.
The thin-faced man patted his shoulder, signaling him not to make any more trouble, and then said gently to Liu Tao: "Then please perform for us."
"Okay." Liu Tao smiled faintly and stretched out his right hand towards the two men. The two men also cooperated with Liu Tao and stared at his empty right hand intently.
The next moment, Liu Tao smiled and said, "Two hundred yuan."
“…”
"Bah!" After a brief silence, the thin-faced man's mouth twitched slightly, while the wide-faced man spat to the side with a gloomy look on his face. Then he took out two red tickets and slapped them into Liu Tao's hands: "Hurry up and finish your performance and get out!"
"Okay!" Liu Tao put away the money with a grin, then took out a deck of cards from his pocket, shuffled them repeatedly, and casually pulled out an Ace of Clubs and stuffed it into the thin-faced man's hand: "Take it."
"Uh, oh..." The thin-faced man took the Ace of Clubs in a daze.
Seeing the thin-faced man holding the Ace of Clubs, Liu Tao's face suddenly showed a mysterious look, and he said to the two of them: "I see, next... is the moment to witness a miracle!"
The two of them also cooperated to look at the Ace of Clubs.
The very next moment, the Ace of Clubs disappeared from the thin-faced man's hand out of thin air like an illusion!
"Hey, there's something else going on here!" The broad-faced man showed surprise.
The thin-faced man nodded and was about to respond, but suddenly, his expression changed drastically!
I saw that ice began to appear out of thin air at the palm where the Ace of Clubs disappeared, completely wrapping his palm and freezing it. It also quickly froze his entire arm and began to spread to his whole body!
The wide-faced man reacted, and the surprise on his face suddenly turned into astonishment. Then, without thinking, he angrily punched Liu Tao in front of him!
Seeing that his fist was about to hit Liu Tao's nose, but Liu Tao still had a smile on his face, the wide-faced man thought he would succeed soon. However, the next moment, his fist missed the target, and Liu Tao, who was originally standing in front of him, disappeared without a trace. All that was left was a playing card slowly falling in the air - a three of hearts.
"This is..." The broad-faced man's pupils trembled, and the next moment, Liu Tao's very humble, yet devilish voice sounded behind him: "How is it? Isn't it amazing?"
The broad-faced man was about to turn his head when Liu Tao behind him drew out another Ace of Clubs and quickly put it on the broad-faced man's neck, freezing him in place.
"I'm so sorry, I actually overheard your conversation. The manager of that cat cafe is my benefactor and my savior, so I definitely won't let you cause any trouble." Liu Tao smiled and said, "Please remember, my name is Finn Eller, also known as Liu Tao in Chinese, and I'm the world's... greatest magician."
As Liu Tao finished speaking, the Ace of Clubs in his hand disappeared out of thin air. Immediately afterwards, a ray of ice quickly spread across the wide-faced man's neck and wrapped him up layer by layer.
In less than half a minute, two human-shaped ice sculptures that could be called masterpieces of the world appeared.
Looking at her masterpiece, Liu Tao smiled and nodded, then turned around with a smile on her face, as if there were millions of viewers in front of her.
He spread out his palms to indicate that his hands were empty, and the next moment, the two ice sculptures behind him, including the black handbag in the thin-faced man's hand that was also frozen, shattered into pieces, turned into powder, and drifted away in the wind, erasing all evidence of their existence.
In a hidden corner, a man stared at the scene with his eyes wide open.
I have to say, this magician's performance... is really amazing!
At this moment, Shao Silin's voice came from the communication device that had been hanging on his ear: "How is it, have you captured the target?"
The man's mouth twitched slightly and replied:
"Reporting to Captain Shao, the target... has been eliminated, not even a ash left."
Shao Silin: “?”
