Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Chapter 530: Probing Chapter 595: Chapter 530: Probing While members of the Yue Family were engaged in a succinct discussion, Tao Yu had already arrived at his new destination.

In the Tianxing District, like the Yue Family, there was a notably outstanding ‘Starfire Mercenary Corps’, which specialized in various tasks like protective escort and Abyss exploration.

Their reputation was good, and with a World Breaker in residence, their task completion rate was high, ranking them among the best within mercenary groups of this level.

The headquarters of the ‘Starfire Mercenary Corps’ was located inside an office building in the Tianxing District, renting two floors of the building, which were not any less impressive than the Yue Family’s headquarters.

‘Ding Dong~’

Accompanied by the arrival of the elevator, Tao Yu reached the ‘Starfire Mercenary Corps’ reception on the 32nd floor of the office building.

The 32nd and 33rd floors were both occupied by the Starfire Mercenary Corps, but only the 32nd floor had an elevator entrance; to go to the 33rd floor, one would need to ascend from the 32nd floor.

Upon opening the door, one could see a simple and clean reception hall, with no lavish decorations or attractive receptionists.

…

But this minimalist style conveyed a sense of efficiency, and the sight of several buzz-cut youths in standard combat attire standing straight here added a layer of reliability.

There were already several people dressed differently sitting in the area, listening to a buzz-cut young man explaining something with a tablet in hand.

It seemed they were all potential clients.

Currently, it was probably just a discussion about intentions, without having delved into the specifics of the tasks.

The fact that several clients were visiting at the same time to inquire about their services actually spoke to the good reputation of this mercenary corps.

Upon seeing the elevator open and another client appear, a buzz-cut young man took the initiative to come over.

Tao Yu, meanwhile, stretched out his finger and pressed his facemask, speaking in a hoarse voice,

“I’m looking for a secret hire.”

When the young man saw Tao Yu’s finger gesture on the mask, and heard his words, he paused slightly and then politely said,

“Please follow me, sir.”

Tao Yu did not remove his mask, simply following behind the man like a regular, entering a room to the side.

After entering, the buzz-cut young man did not ask any questions, but directly opened a closet inside and made a ‘please’ gesture.

Tao Yu smoothly stepped into the closet, descending like an elevator to a room on the 31st floor.

According to memories easily retrievable from Teng Lianghong, this Starfire Mercenary Corps was the Assassin’s League’s overt power within White Star City.

Theoretically, the Starfire Mercenary Corps was directly under the Assassin’s League, but indeed, they strictly conducted legitimate mercenary business and only provided the Assassin’s League with good ‘gatekeeping’ services.

The spaces emptied by a few small companies on the 31st floor, using partition methods, were where the Assassin’s League discussed business!

As soon as he descended, Tao Yu followed Teng Lianghong’s habit and removed the mask from his face, casually saying to a figure beside him,

“A-San, is it your shift today?”

“Lord Teng!

Whew~, it’s really good that you’re alright.

Something seems to have gone wrong with ‘Shattered Star’.”

Upon seeing Tao Yu, a gleam of light appeared in the figure’s eyes, and he quickly spoke.

This speed of information feedback made Tao Yu contemplate.

There were eyes and ears of the Assassin’s League in the Harkonnen Family, although the news was likely quite superficial.

“I know.

I’ve come today to deal with this matter.

Is Mr.

‘Shattered Star’ in?”

Tao Yu’s tone, habits, various micro-expressions, and actions, were all mimics of Teng Lianghong.

Every bit of daily information extorted had to be utilized, no matter how trivial.

Of course, perfectly imitating someone is bound to have inconsistencies and some minor discrepancies, which might be noticed by someone among the Assassin’s League.

But wasn’t that convenient?

He had just had a confrontation with the Yue Family!

He had used Teng Lianghong’s signature Thunder Prison, and speaking of performance, due to Tao Yu’s own solid foundation as a basis, his overall strength was even a notch higher than Teng Lianghong’s.

With increased strength, a bit of expansion and change in emotions and attitudes was only natural…

“I am here, and there hasn’t been a need for Mr.

‘World Breaker’ to take action recently.

However, if you hadn’t returned, we might have initiated contact with you or made a trip to Starshine City.”

A-San led the way with respect.

This place seemed like a corridor with several small chambers, rooms close together yet with excellent soundproofing.

‘World Breaker’ was one of the three Catastrophe Level figures of the Assassin’s League in Baixing State, mainly managing daily affairs, serving as the second-in-command in Baixing State’s Assassin’s League, and likely came from another state.

A-San led Tao Yu to a door of an exceedingly mundane room, knocked on the door, and whispered to the nameplate,

“Mr.

‘World Breaker,’ Lord Teng has returned and would like to see you.”

Almost in sync with his words, the door opened by itself, followed by a voice with a metallic friction to it,

“Teng is back, making quite a fuss.

This doesn’t seem like you…”

Tao Yu, not standing on ceremony, waved A-San away and took the initiative to push the door open, closing it behind him.

He then said in an easygoing tone,

“What fuss are you referring to?”

The room had no windows, yet it wasn’t stuffy, only about ten square meters, with half the wall lined with bookshelves and the other half a liquor cabinet, the floor covered with a patterned carpet.

A metallic figure, looking a bit like an automaton, lounged on a specially reinforced reclining chair, flipping through a book.

One might assume by the scent of books in the air that he had been reading some profound classic.

However, the title on the page he hadn’t yet put down read “The Innocent Female President Fell for Me.”

Given his earnest page-turning, the contrast was quite marked.

Tao Yu, without hesitation, took a bottle of Teng Lianghong’s favorite wine from the liquor cabinet, casually popped the cap, and poured it into a glass.

He then sniffed it at the nose while perceiving the information and took a slight sip.

A rich fruity aroma mixed with a hint of alcohol spread inside him, causing a tingling and numbing sensation.

“Not many bottles left, you’re always wreaking havoc on my collection.”

Perhaps because Tao Yu had touched his treasured collection, ‘World Breaker’ put down his book and also took a glass for Tao Yu to fill up.

Teng Lianghong was a hopeful for breaking through to Catastrophe Level, holding the fourth position, and being older than ‘World Breaker,’ who had helped him considerably when he first came from another state, the relationship between them wasn’t too distant.

However, even so, Tao Yu could sense that this ‘World Breaker,’ who had been reading, was scrutinizing him.

The Assassin’s League would certainly have precautions against impersonation and disguise.

Taking a small sip himself, World Breaker finally spoke up,

“Was the Harkonnen Family tough to handle?

Hit and run?”

Teng Lianghong was quite cautious, and for him to hit the Harkonnens and then immediately retreat, later clashing with the Yue Family here, was indeed unusual behavior…
