Chapter 968: You Have to Deal with the Taunt Minion First
“How does it look? Is there anything in the Order’s database?”
Mountain Sparrow lowered his voice as he stared at the glass in front of him.
Crazy Blade shook his head. “I don’t really remember them… They were wearing black uniforms, which made them hard to recognize anyway. They probably weren’t that strong.”
Mountain Sparrow nodded too. “If they were strong, I should’ve recognized them… It seems they picked two people with deep roots in Pure Abyss rather than great strength. Otherwise, they couldn’t have gotten things moving so smoothly.”
“Then I guess it was right to arrange for them in a little alley,” Crazy Blade said excitedly. “As long as we create a two-on-two situation… we should be able to win for sure, right?”
Mountain Sparrow didn’t disagree. “That’s right, but… they probably know that too, so they’ll definitely do their best to avoid a head-on clash with us.”
“Also, I think they hired a bodyguard to stay close to them.” Mountain Sparrow traced a mark on the glass in front of him with his finger. The reflection along the mark aligned perfectly with the shadow where the corridor floor met the wall. “Ever since they showed up, a local of Pure Abyss has been hiding in the shadows and following them… I think it’s a Naga. It’s no weakling. In the Outer Sea, it would count as a highly skilled expert.”
As Mountain Sparrow spoke, Crazy Blade narrowed his eyes. “A Naga? Ha, the two of us should be able to take it down together, right?”
“From what I can sense, either of us should be stronger than it. Together… we should be able to kill it easily.”
Mountain Sparrow said it casually.
“Ha, then that makes things easy. Since that guy is hiding in the shadows, it might not have come in through legitimate channels. And since it’s keeping out of sight, maybe we can secretly take care of the bodyguard first,” Crazy Blade said eagerly. “What do you think, Mountain Sparrow?”
Mountain Sparrow fell silent. Then he said quietly, “We can try. If we take out the Naga without their knowledge, they might misjudge the situation. Then it could be easier for us to snatch the Mermaid’s Tear from them.”
Hearing Mountain Sparrow agree, Crazy Blade grinned. “All right. Let’s find a chance to deal with that Naga. You find its location… An auction house full of prominent figures has plenty of ‘blind spots’ to accommodate the important guests.”
……
Sea Eye Sovereign’s private chamber and the private room Lin Yu and April were using were on different corridors, so to meet Sea Eye Sovereign, Lin Yu and April naturally had to cross the hall under the Sea Demon Department Head’s guidance.
As they crossed the hall, Lin Yu also noticed something unusual.
But he kept quiet until the two of them had crossed the hall and reached another corridor. Only then did he speak.
“April, people from the Order have arrived,” Lin Yu said, keeping his pace and expression unchanged, at a volume only April could just barely hear. “The two people pretending to look at the exhibits at the back of the hall just now, one wearing a silver diving suit and one wearing nothing at all, are from the Order. Don’t look too surprised. Keep acting like you haven’t noticed them, and keep walking.”
Stunned, April hurried to match Lin Yu’s steady pace as best she could.
Still, she couldn’t help showing subtle changes in her expression and demeanor. Lin Yu had expected that, after all, April wasn’t a professional actor or swindler.
That was why he had deliberately waited until they had crossed the hall before telling her.
If he had told her sooner, the two of them might have noticed something was off.
Of course…
April hadn’t given away much. After a brief moment of shock, she quickly composed herself and lowered her voice as well. “Are you sure? How did you notice them?”
Of course, it was because the other party had the unmistakable air of players, and he had seen Crazy Blade before. Although the other man was wearing a diving suit, Lin Yu had still recognized his face.
But of that, Lin Yu could only say the first part aloud.
“Because the two of them are different from the native humans of Pure Abyss… Out of the five people here, the only two-player team besides us would very likely be from the Order.”
Lin Yu explained, then added, “They’ve probably noticed the two of us too, but may not have realized that we noticed them.”
April nodded. “I understand. The Order’s people got here really fast. Are they planning to make a move against us inside the auction house?”
“I’m not sure.” Lin Yu felt they probably wouldn’t, but given Crazy Blade’s temperament, he wasn’t so certain. “Either way, it can’t hurt to be careful.”
After all, Crazy Blade was Haicheng’s Team Leader and Li Hua’s direct descendant. Lin Yu had only met him once, but he already had a general idea of what he was like.
He was a bit like the Order’s version of Fish, or perhaps a self-developed Snowy Owl. In any case, he was another impatient sort.
According to Li Hua, if that guy thought he had a good chance, he might have attacked Lin Yu right there in the hall.
If he hadn’t attacked outright… perhaps the other guy had held him back.
But Lin Yu didn’t know how long Crazy Blade’s teammate could keep him in check.
Lin Yu didn’t know Mountain Sparrow. He had met plenty of people from the Night Watchmen, but he had never seen or recognized this one.
So he couldn’t judge what sort of partnership the two had.
Still…
“It doesn’t matter. Now that they’ve found us, they’re already too late.”
Thinking this, Lin Yu casually gave April another warning.
“Oh, right. One more thing. Besides those two guys, there also seems to be a Naga in the shadows spying on us and coveting what we have… It’s probably here to assassinate us.”
April tensed at his words. “There’s a Naga following us too?”
Lin Yu had gotten used to it, but April seemed to have trouble adapting to being watched by several different factions at once.
Lin Yu nodded calmly.
“Yes. It might have been hired by that Mermaid Prince… It could also have been sent by Ancient Fang Sovereign, though if it was the latter, he’s certainly working remarkably fast.”
“Of course, it’s also possible that the Mermaid Prince and the Sea Demon Regent are in cahoots, and this is an assassin they sent together… Hmm, wait. I was joking, but now that I’ve said it out loud, that possibility suddenly seems pretty high too.”
As Lin Yu pondered this, April grew even more nervous. “What should we do?”
“If it dares to attack, we’ll kill it.” Lin Yu looked at her. “Looks like you’ve forgotten again. I’m strong.”
“Neither those two from the Order nor that Naga are a match for me, even together… I have my own way of dealing with them.”
Lin Yu said calmly.
That was the truth…
Even without using too many of the abilities from his other identities, and relying only on the abilities available to Yayu, Lin Yu was confident he could take down Crazy Blade and the Naga!
He didn’t know how strong the remaining one was… To be safe, he would just have to use one more trump card!
