A vein popped out in her neck when she heard Zhao Yao’s response as she answered, “There’s no one else I care about inside that place. My only wish is to save my sister and destroy this bunch of stupid scammers.”
“Oh.” Zhao Yao nodded his head and accepted another mission to destroy the fraudulent organization. He immediately took his leave when he realized the exclamation mark had disappeared from her head.
Sonia felt a wave of disappointment washing over her as she watched Zhao Yao leaving with despondency. She should never have placed all her hopes on a lunatic.
After rounds of questioning, Zhao Yao had already developed his efficient and unique modus operandi to elicit the missions from them. Naturally, he gravitated to the next nearest exclamation mark which belonged to Priest Yang, “Do you have any friends or relatives trapped inside that place?”
Fear crossed his face as Priest Yang answered, “I am here on a request to save a dear friend of mine.”
“Hmph,” Zhao Yao’s head continued nodding along to Priest Yang’s words before he clarified, “What’s your friend’s name? Can you describe his appearance? I’ll try to rescue him while I’m inside.”
Priest Yang let out a sigh of despair before responding, “It’s okay. You going in alone to collect intel is already dangerous enough. How can I ever bother you with another mission?”
In Priest Yang’s eyes, this crazy man was the quintessential cannon fodder about to meet his demise. His only job was to distract the opponents from the actual team collecting intel. This was his one-way ticket to hell and he had no chance of escaping.
Zhao Yao threw his hand in the air to stop Priest Yang from continuing, “It’s no trouble at all. This is as easy as stealing a candy from a kid. You just have to provide me with information about that person trapped inside. I guarantee to bring him back here safely.”
Priest Yang finally relented after Zhao Yao’s non-stop pestering. He thought that there was no harm in sharing information with a person about to meet his death.
“Xiao Ming?” This piqued Zhao Yao’s curiosity, “In that case, I’m not the only person he reached out for help. Actually, they do know each other and it’s only natural for him to ask as many people for help as possible ...”
Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s pupils constricted together as a glint flashed across his eyes, “This is bad. If they are also here to save Xiao Ming, this will compromise my mission’s success. I cannot let them succeed!”
A muscle in his jaw twitched as his mouth set in a hard line. Zhao Yao had never expected to meet a competitor here.
Priest Yang was somewhat taken aback when he noticed Zhao Yao staring at him with a pair of vicious eyes.
With his eyes glued on Priest Yang, Zhao Yao concluded, “I cannot allow this stupid man steal the reward from under my nose.”
With the thought lingering in his head, he slid Priest Yang another glare of contempt until he left.
Zhao Yao proceeded to Master Mao next. As expected, he was also here at Xiao Ming’s behest.
Similarly, Zhao Yao slid Master Mao a long hard glare before taking his leave.
Soon after, Master Mao met Priest Yang at the corner of the room and began to discuss Zhao Yao’s somewhat baffling behavior at lengths.
“Just ignore him. Anyway, he is simply a pawn that we are sacrificing for the greater good. The key lies in the carefully selected apostles that were going to sneak into the place.”
“That’s true. I truly hope that they can successfully collect some useful information.”
These two sly brats had never pinned much hope on Zhao Yao’s abilities. They simply regarded him as a cannon fodder to distract the enemies from their opponents. Zhao Yao’s eventual sacrifice was all part of the plan.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao’s eyes remained glued to these two men as he whispered to himself, ” Porn Tsunami 1 , Porn Tsunami, Porn Tsunami ...”
A gleam flashed across Master Mao’s eyes in the midst of his discussion with Priest Yang.
Even though he was looking at Priest Yang, a series of provocative and tempting images started to flood his mind. He felt the blood rushing through his body, charging towards his groin as a throbbing sensation erupted.
“How can this happen ...” Sweat started beading his forehead as his heart pounded furiously against his chest, “Don’t tell me that I’m ...”
He bent his body forward in an attempt to conceal the embarrassing protrusion.
He broke out in a series of award laughs before explaining, “D*mn it. It’s that stupid tummy ache again.”
Priest Yang was genuinely concerned about him and immediately approached him and asked, “Are you okay? Is it because of the lunch?”
Just when Master Mao was coming up with an excuse to hide the truth, the intensity of the images grew ten-fold in his head. He could literally feel every ounce of blood in his body charged towards that one single point.
He even had to take in a deep breath to suppress this peculiar sensation. Initially, he was still bent on escaping this awkward situation but dismissed the thought the moment the images turned more vivid and erotic ...
Out of concern, Priest Yang swung Master Mao’s arms over his own shoulders to support him and commented, “Are you sure you are okay? You look like you are in extreme pain.”
When Master Mao was about to open his mouth, a soft gushing sound rang in his ears. It was like a sea of water being forced through a tiny creek. Immediately, his eyes began blinking non-stop as his lips parted slightly.
Priest Yang’s brows locked together as he asked, “What’s that smell? Why does it smell so fishy?”
Priest Yang’s voice triggered Master Mao to defend himself but he then realized that he was still trapped in his immoral illusions.
Pssss! Psss!
Master Mao’s physical health left Zhao Yao all amazed as he muttered, “No wonder he is a master. He is still so fit and healthy at this ripe old age.”
Priest Yang noticed the residue of Master Mao’s actions on his shirt and immediately pushed him away. With anger roaring through his body, Priest Yang exclaimed, “You stupid old man! How dare you try to take advantage of me!” This was the first time he had ever found himself in such a situation which explained this unprecedented anger.
However, Master Mao seemed completely indifferent to Priest Yang’s outburst and simply collapsed to the floor with his body completely depleted of energy. He struggled to open his mouth before saying,” Never mind. Never mind. Can someone pass me a cigarette?”
Just when Priest Yang was about to exact his revenge, he felt a weird sensation erupting from his groin. He could not understand what was happening and muttered, “What the hell.”
Ten minutes late, both Priest Yang and Master Mao were lying on the floor with their faces next to one another. Both were still as fit as a bull as they stared at each other with a pair of seductive eyes.
Sonia was disgusted by this appalling sight and murmured, “Perverts.”
Priest Yang tried his best to suppress the throbbing sensations as he ordered, “The reconnaissance mission shall commence tomorrow. Daniel Wu, you will be the first to enter the place. From there, Sonia and team shall find an opportunity to sneak in ...”
Zhao Yao slid Sonia a glance before cocking his head back towards Priest Yang. He had never expected her to be part of the reconnaissance team. This mission was no child’s play, any mistake might spell certain death. Judging from this, Zhao Yao concluded that Sonia shared quite an intimate bond with her sister.
After relaying their last instructions, both Priest Yang and Master Mao retreated to their bedroom on account of their throbbing headaches. They had delegated the remaining responsibilities of the mission to their subordinates.
Meanwhile, a sly grin appeared on Zhao Yao’s face as he took a glance at his mission panel.
If he managed to complete this mission, he would instantly bag 5000 to 6000 experience points. His only worry would be to choose which cat to upgrade.
Basked in the cool moonlight, Tiger began typing a string of words on WeChat, “How long more?”
Zhao Yao let out a long sigh when he noticed that irritating text before replying, “Soon.”
Tiger’s templed throbbed with fury when he saw that nonchalant reply, “B*stard.”
Zhao Yao made his way towards his objective amongst a chorus of goodbyes the second morning. He could not wait to put an end to this mission.
When he was about to leave, Sonia even pulled him to one side and clarified, “I’m the one who brought you here but I never force you to do anything dangerous.”
Her brows were tightly knitted together as she spoke in an extremely solemn tone, “Remember to comply to all their instructions. Do not do anything stupid. Do not go against them. Safeguarding your life is your number one priority ...”
She finally released Zhao Yao’s arms after reminding him an entire list of to-dos. However, she could not help but sigh as she watched his shadow disappeared into the crowd as a tinge of regret tugged at her.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was completely indifferent to her words. With a beaming smile plastered on his face, he started making his way to his destination.
Before even reaching the district, he observed a truck stop by the road with cries and screams coming from it.
