Annan felt a chill in her heart as she heard the voice that seemed to surround her ears, the slight Soul Shifting effect mixed in the sonic skills made her truly believe she had been discovered!


    She immediately executed an eleration battle technique and swiftly emerged from a water tank on the rooftop, running towards the escape route she had nned.


    But in the next moment, the sound of the wind from behind her signaled danger, and as she turned her head, she saw Tao Yu’s figure gracefully ascending!


    No escape!


    Annan, with her extensive experience in fleeing, showed a trace of shock on her cute face as she immediately prepared to counterattack, propping herself up with one hand on the ground, forming a stable triangle.


    Her leg muscles tensed, ready to unleash a battle technique in an explosive burst.


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The short de at her waist was in her hand in a sh, like Flint’s sparks, carving a Z-shaped sh in the air ahead of her.


    Even a senior partner’s throat slit would mean death!


    But apanied by a Spirit Stinger and a Flicking Flower Finger from Tao Yu, she ended up sliding on her knees halfway through, skidding across the ground for a distance, scraping her knees raw, before copsing at Tao Yu’s feet.


    "You give me such a big ceremony, but I won’t be soft-hearted," Tao Yu said.


    Tao Yu looked down at the cat-girl lying on the ground, her tail drooping, stark against the floor, which was kind of funny.


    However, after spending five days indulged in thepany of beauties, Tao Yu’s current defenses in this regard were off the charts, and he didn’t give Annan any special treatment just because she was pretty.


    To her, Annan was no different from a beggar on the street, a pretty skeleton was still just a skeleton.


    He still urately targeted the effective acupoints on her body to seal her True Yuan, then grabbed the scruff of her neck and leapt down from the rooftop.


    "Done."


    Tao Yu, who had descended gracefully, looked at Lin Chao, who had just arrived at the base of the building using his legs, and gave an OK gesture.


    Lin Chao also holstered a somewhat sci-fi-looking pistol.


    "As expected of you, your speed is really fast. The intelligence said that she mastered many battle techniques and was not weak," Lin Chaomented.


    "She wouldn’t be worth 180,000 Yuan Force if she was weak," Tao Yu chuckled, teaching his family the Muscle Changing and Bone Forging Scripture this month, practicing it himself, pluspleting these missions, was quite fulfilling. After handing this mission in, even after ounting for this month’s eleration consumption, he would have saved up more than 400,000 Yuan Force!


    If it weren’t for the fact that all the suitable umted tasks had run out, Tao Yu actually felt that grinding bounties here was quite profitable.


    At the very least, if he hadn’t bought a flying device, it would have taken him a month and a half to travel back home, and he would definitely not have earned so much Yuan Force on the road, and he might not even be able to maintain daily expenses.


    "Should we follow the procedure?" Lin Chao asked Tao Yu.


    "Let’s follow the procedure. Come on, kitty, stop ying dead. Do you have the money to spare your life, or will you trade information?" Tao Yu went about the formalities as usual; he had extracted something out of each of the previous captures.


    Having such a high bounty on her head, although this little cat girl seemed sweet and cute, she had killed numerous people, and her sweet appearance itself was a weapon for assassination.


    ording to the wanted information, she was also a member of an unrecognized ’Assassin Organization’ by thepany.


    That shady ’Assassin Organization,’ whose main business was assassinating Pioneers, existed for a reason, and the fact it continued to operate without being eradicated also had its rationale.


    Just like a few of the organizations resisting thepany, Tao Yu suspected that it was someone within thepany’s own front.


    "Stop trying to get information from me. I just ask for a quick end, please don’t torture me," Annan pleaded, still hanging by the back of her neck, but speaking in a delicate voice.


    It was like hearing a kitten’s paw scraping.


    "Your record says that your peak achievement was killing a senior partner in bed, so stop putting on a show for us," Tao Yu said, as he shook her slightly, causing a wave of numbness throughout Annan’s body.


    After recovering, she huffed in annoyance,


    "Spilled everything, without any consideration for my privacy. Why don’t you just blow up thepany while you’re at it."


    Then Tao Yu grabbed Annan and pulled her in front of Lin Chao, pointing at Lin Chao’s face and said,


    "I don’t know if you recognize him, but his name is Lin Chao, the super nice guy from Chaoyang Society. You don’t seem like a lost cause, so if the information you provide is valuable enough to save your life, there really is a chance."


    "Those others who were capturedtely, did you give them a chance too?"


    Annan, being an old hand, rolled her eyes.


    She had heard the recent rumors and went into hiding right away, but who would have thought they would find her in such a remote ce, damn it all.


    There must have been something off about that noise earlier, but knowing now is too little, toote.


    "They didn’t provide enough value,"


    repeated Tao Yu, the same line he had said several times before.


    However, it did make Annan fall silent for a moment.


    "I have some information relevant to Chaoyang Society. I’m not asking you to let me go, but I’ll give you twenty thousand Yuan Force, hoping you can deliver it to my father. You can take a cut, but I hope you’ll leave some for him."


    The clout of Chaoyang Society’s Lin Chao certainly had an effect, softening Annan somewhat.


    The Chaoyang Society’s reputation was quite good; helping others was a tag they proudly bore. The act of their leader beating up the head of the Longxi n, while it did cause some bacsh from other families, also won them quite a few fans.


    Tao Yu just pondered for a moment before saying,


    "If your information is useful, it’s not impossible. Even if it’s not, I can still agree to take half,"


    Though by definition, Annan certainly wasn’t a good person, Tao Yu could understand her desire to leave some money for her family in times of trouble.


    "Some people are currently recruiting those of us with bounties, nning tounch an attack on Chaoyang Society. I don’t know the specifics; I’m too scared they’re just trying to scam the bounty. But I did run into someone who’d been recruited at the Thieves Guild not long ago, and it seemed legit."


    Annan’s words made Tao Yu’s expression turn a bit strange, and he nced at Lin Chao.


    Good grief, the head of Chaoyang Society had attracted quite a bit of hatred. Tao Yu, having been helped by Lin Chao these past few days, said to him as a favor,


    "I have no objections, when the timees, the money will be yours, and how much you give is up to you."


    Lin Chao felt somewhat heavy-hearted at hearing this but still nodded.


    Seeing that she had finished sharing the information and that Tao Yu was willing to transfer all twenty thousand Yuan Force to this person from Chaoyang Society, Annan could roughly judge that their previous words were indeed no deception, and after obediently transferring twenty thousand Yuan Force to Lin Chao’s card, she cautiously said,


    "Uhm, is there really no chance you could let me go? I have imnted a special ability that allows me to absorb automatically, guaranteeing you a mind-blowing experience, always at your beck and call..."


    Smack~


    Tao Yu’s pnded on her backside, making her tail stand on end.


    "Don’t push your luck."


    This person’s route back to the Abyss was blocked, and sooner orter, she was bound to either go mad or get captured.


    Tao Yu’s words caused Annan’s spirit to dete, her tail and ears drooping.


    Then the two of them grabbed her and walked towards the nearest ce where they could turn in the mission.


    However, just as Tao Yu was about to leave the alley, he suddenly frowned and looked back.


    There, a figure wearing a partner’s cloak was walking towards them from a hundred meters back.


    "Oh, I just heard some ghastly yelling and turned out it’s really Annan, whom I’ve been looking for, for quite a while.


    "I heard that there was a new yer who had found a way to track people by sound; seems like it wasn’t just a rumor. But this ’Eight-Armed Vajra’ nickname doesn’t seem to quite fit..."


    The cloaked figure with the masked face took each step as if it were measured with a ruler, the rhythm and stride not changing in the slightest...
