Chapter 988 986 Gospel (Part 3)

Chapter 988: Chapter 986: Gospel (Part 3) Chapter 988: Chapter 986: Gospel (Part 3) “It went smoother than expected; it was even a killing mission.”

The conditions for containment finally emerged, and Fu Qian listened with satisfaction.

As for Ashfall, he was certainly no stranger to it.

The Ji Family’s secret technique, after all, he had dealt with it before in the Wasteland.

That even included Angui the Demigod’s mutated version.

And it looked like this time he would have to continue causing trouble for the Ji Family.

But the target was a parasite in a special being. Finding it would take some careful thought.

Force them all to activate their abilities and check them one by one?

That wasn’t entirely unfeasible, just admitting he had killed Ji Yicheng would surely invite a beating.

As he pondered, Fu Qian had found an apartment in front of him according to the address on the note.

And after trying a card from his personal items, he managed to gain access, indeed.

What a classic scenario of a lone individual with a skill heading to the big city to make a living, eerily similar to Brother Cha Yingjun.

Of course, the specific developmental philosophies were different, and for now, Brother Cha Yingjun seemed to be having more success.

Fu Qian was momentarily moved.

Regardless, the place seemed of decent calibers the Gospel Group must pay well.

…

In the midst of contemplating his career plan, Fu Qian quickly found his room number.

The room was very clean, an obvious sign of solitude. After inspecting it, Fu Qian closed the door and immediately opened the box to take out the lantern.

This type of mission was undoubtedly his favorite.

The only difficulty was to find the target first.

After all, to interpret it literally, massacring Silver Mist Manor and taking out everyone there capable of triggering Ashfall was not an option.

And using the identity of the one who killed Ji Yicheng as bait for a challenge, he felt some might be too timid to respond.

So, could he use some method to narrow down the suspects first?

While pondering his current situation, Fu Qian looked towards the door, quickly adjusting his facial muscles.

Thump, thump!

Two seconds later, the knock on the door sounded abruptly, and on Fu Qian’s face was a perfectly natural look of surprise.

When the knock sounded for the second time, he finally stepped forward and opened the door.

“Mr. 233.”

A familiar voice came through. Ji Liushuang, the daughter of the customer he had just served, stood there in a green long dress, smiling pleasantly.

…

“Excuse the interruption.”

Looking up and down at Fu Qian, Ji Liushuang nodded slightly as her unabashedly sharp gaze appeared to pierce one’s heart.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

Fu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression quickly cooling as he replied in a perfectly natural manner.

“Such mistakes do happen often, so do you wish for me to stand here and clarify this with you?”

And to his reaction, Ji Liushuang seemed not at all surprised, even casually agreeing to his words while glancing down the corridor.

“…Please, come in.”

After a long “silence,” Fu Qian finally stepped aside to make room, and she walked in without any hesitation.

“To make our forthcoming conversation more fluid, let me first explain how I found you.”

Finding a seat and gazing as Fu Qian carefully closed the door, Ji Liushuang flipped her hand over, and in the next moment, she held a silver-white thin sword.

Clearly not her usual style; she must have chosen it to match her attire and for ease of concealment.

Fu Qian quickly concluded.

And the moment she held the sword in her hand, Ji Liushuang’s momentum surged once again with sharp intensity.

But it was only for an instant, and in the blink of an eye, she placed the sword on the table in front of her, returning to the image of a gentle and demure lady.

Of course, this contrast somehow brought about an even stronger sense of deterrence.

“It seems that company principles are merely lip service—against a behemoth like the Ji Family, they’re completely insignificant!”

However, Fu Qian didn’t seem to want to be completely overwhelmed and snorted, expressing his opinion directly.

“Although Gospel Group hasn’t been established for long, and indeed the actual controller behind it is the Ji Family, there’s no need to excessively doubt its independence. Most of the time, they can stick to their principles.”

After listening attentively to his remarks, Ji Liushuang signaled him not to be nervous.

As expected!

The question of how the Gospel Group managed to enter Silver Mist Manor was suddenly answered.

Plainly put, it was nothing more than a Ji Family business that had been granted a fair amount of autonomy.

The Ji Family cooperating with them to demonstrate this point was absolutely normal.

“As for how I found you, it’s actually quite simple.”

At this point, Ji Liushuang gestured towards something on Fu Qian’s body.

“When I went to the company, I didn’t expect you to answer my questions.”

“You left a mark on me?”

Fu Qian seemed to understand something.

Of course, it only looked that way.

He certainly knew that he had been marked almost as soon as he left, which was why he chose to go back to his residence.

Had he not returned to his residence, how could she have appeared so promptly?

Indeed, the Sword Heart Enlightenment proved to be sharp.

Even though Ji Liushuang hadn’t recognized his true identity under the double disguise of the warehouse and himself, zeroing in on one person wasn’t too difficult.

Keep in mind, he had waited at the company for a while as required before leaving, and several people had already left before him. Unfortunately, it was clear that none of them had diverted her attention.

“How could that be? I just tend not to be easily fooled by superficial distractions once I’ve locked onto a target.”

Ji Liushuang shook her head.

“So, Mr. 233, I believe you now understand your current situation and have reduced some of your worries as a result.”

“This conversation is not known to the company, so your life is not affected at this moment. But I need your help in resolving these doubts, or else your life will truly be impacted, and I can’t guarantee the extent.”

The last sentence was said with a chilling threat.

The stance Ji Liushuang took in coming here was not one of seeking help but rather presenting a cold, hard choice.

Well done!

Fu Qian appreciated this, and it was evident that his mother’s incident had upset Ji Liushuang deeply. Now she was like an unsheathed sword, determined to level any obstacle.

“So tell me, for what reason did Lady Ji Xue collapse?”

“You just mentioned not to doubt the independence of the Gospel Group, so why don’t you believe the report?”

Fu Qian didn’t rush to answer; of course, he didn’t know.

“It’s not to be doubted most of the time.”

Ji Liushuang corrected him, seizing the silver-white thin sword once again.

“You are trying to intimidate me. Even for the Ji Family, killing me under these circumstances would be troublesome.”

Fu Qian watched her movements but maintained his defiance, shaking his head.

“Indeed, my actions right now are most likely just to make you feel fear and submit.”

Surprisingly, Ji Liushuang actually agreed with this statement.

“Unfortunately, the regrettable thing is, you aren’t confident enough in this regard. Your compulsion to voice it is an attempt to encourage yourself.”

Ji Liushuang’s expression remained calm, including the hand holding the sword, which didn’t move.

“You have thirty seconds to reconsider yourself.”
