Chapter 723: You Shouldnt Be Ignoring Me



Chapter 723: You Shouldnt Be Ignoring Me



“Hmm?”


Behind a window on the third floor, a figure was staring down at the Square below.


When the slender young man wearing a hat suddenly looked up, the person at the window froze.


“No way, he discovered me this quickly? What strong Sensing Ability…”


Feeling awkward for being caught spying, the person quickly turned and walked away.


“What’s wrong?” Mu Chen noticed Ling Mo look up and asked while following his gaze upward.


However, by the time he looked at the window, it was already empty.


“Nothing.” Ling Mo withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly, “There are indeed many superhumans here. We need to be very careful.”


“You actually know to be careful…” Mu Chen said with an eye roll.


Bringing this up only now, as if it wasn’t common sense!


The closer they got to the entrance, the more nervous Mu Chen felt.


Behind the glass door ahead, there were four guards, all armed.


It was hard not to feel pressure with the barrels of their guns pointed at them.


He sneaked a glance at Ling Mo and found that he was still as calm as before, with no change in his expression.


“You said to be careful! At least act a little nervous!” Mu Chen cursed in his mind, calling Ling Mo a “stone-faced,” while taking a deep breath.


Calm down, stay calm…


From the moment they stepped through the door, there was no turning back…


The guard leading the way also heard Mu Chen’s breathing. Glancing back briefly, a slightly smug smile appeared on his lips.


“The Dongming branch is such a small place compared to the headquarters. This tight security has probably scared them silly…”


However, he kept his thoughts to himself.


Having been the one who had almost drawn his gun out of fear of a Toy earlier, he felt he had no right to display any sense of superiority now…


“The guy in the hat is quite something. Even with a gun pointed at him, he didn’t show any expression. But his physical attributes seem lacking. A mental ability user? No wonder, those with mental abilities often have strong wills…”


The guard thought to himself but didn’t slow his pace. Soon, he brought Ling Mo and Mu Chen to the entrance.


After handing over their weapons to one of the guards, he briefly introduced their backgrounds before returning to his post.


As he passed by Ling Mo, the guard kept a straight face, eyes forward, and even quickened his pace a bit…


“Is that necessary…” Ling Mo chuckled internally.


“Follow me, I’ll take you to the registration area,” the guard taking over was a Middle-aged man, with a burly build and a voice full of authority.


“He’s an Enhancement ability superhuman,” Mu Chen whispered, filled with astonishment.


Just guarding the entrance, and they’re using superhumans…


This headquarters is really extravagant…


However, Ling Mo noticed that the previous guard was very polite when speaking to this man, likely indicating that he was the captain of the guard team.


With Niepan headquarters housing so many superhumans and secrets, it’s understandable they’d focus heavily on security.


Appointing a superhuman to lead the guard team isn’t really a waste…


The Middle-aged man led Ling Mo and Mu Chen into the hall and headed straight forward.


Ling Mo used the cover of his hat to carefully observe the surroundings.


As expected, there were several guards inside the hall. Two were guarding a passageway, while the other two seemed to be patrolling.


“I wonder where that passage leads… But with such tight security, it surely won’t be easy.”


Ling Mo thought to himself.


Mu Chen, on the other hand, was watching with his heart in his mouth. The Dongming branch at most could be considered well-hidden, but its security couldn’t compare to the Niepan headquarters at all.


Stealing information in a place like this was akin to pulling a tooth from a tiger’s mouth.


But now that they’ve entered the tiger’s mouth, all they could do was hope Ling Mo had a foolproof plan…


“Hey…” Mu Chen slightly slowed his steps, sidled up to Ling Mo, and whispered, “What do you think?”


“What?” Ling Mo countered.


Mu Chen grew anxious, “What do you think?”


He dared not speak plainly, unsure if that Middle-aged man leading them had any special Superpower.


“Well…we should adapt to the situation,” Ling Mo replied ambiguously.


“…Damn it!” Mu Chen thought, frustrated. So, this guy had no plan!


But on second thought, it made sense; they needed to observe the environment first to devise a proper plan…


“Alright, calm down,” Ling Mo sighed.


Mu Chen knew he was indeed panicking. With no way out now, he had to play his part well to avoid exposure.


The so-called registration area was actually a large office facing the entrance.


It was probably a place for paying fees in the past; at first glance, it looked just like a bank counter, just without the glass barrier.


Several reception staff members were busy inside, and five or six Niepan headquarters members were gathered near the counter.


From the moment Ling Mo and Mu Chen entered, these people had already noticed them.


However, two of them just glanced briefly before looking away, while three others shamelessly scrutinized them from head to toe.


Such stares would make anyone feel uncomfortable, especially with one person’s gaze cold and ruthless, giving a chilling feeling akin to being watched by a poisonous Snake.


But compared to a Zombie’s gaze, it was still lacking.


Not to mention Ling Mo remained unfazed, even Mu Chen barely felt any discomfort.


That person’s gaze, no matter how terrifying, could never match Xia Na’s…


Aware of being watched, Ling Mo and Mu Chen glanced back.


Seeing that these people had no intention of engaging, they kept silent and continued following the Middle-aged man.


The cold-eyed fellow remained expressionless, but the other two frowned and turned to look at them, with one scantily clad woman even giving an annoyed snort.


The woman lowered her high-heeled boot back to the ground and retracted her deliberately lifted leg.


“They actually ignored me,” she muttered.


The other person glanced at her and said with a smile, “Not everyone is desperate.”


“Are you looking for a fight?” she snapped, eyes cold and fierce.


“Alright, alright, I’ll shut up. Who can understand your twisted taste anyway,” the man shook his head and whispered, “But who are these two anyway…”


“Li Yang, register these two; they’re from the Dongming branch,” the Middle-aged man ordered as he walked straight to the counter and placed their weapons on top.


“Clang!”


The sound of metal clashing immediately drew everyone’s attention, including the two who had been staring at Ling Mo and Mu Chen.


“So, they’re from the Dongming branch…”


“Oh, that place… Didn’t someone say it was going to be shut down?”


However, after taking just one look, the woman couldn’t help but burst into laughter.


Hearing the laughter, Ling Mo and Mu Chen turned their heads.


The source of the laughter was a woman around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Half of her hair was intricately braided while the other half hung down, covering one eye and part of her face. She wore dark lipstick, almost black, and a revealing tight outfit. She was the same one who had snorted coldly earlier.


Ling Mo had seen her earlier but hadn’t paid much attention. Mu Chen, on the other hand, was too nervous to focus on anything else.


Not that this woman was merely dressed provocatively; even if she wasn’t wearing anything… well, Mu Chen would probably take a couple of extra glances in that case…


“Isn’t it ridiculous? A branch using such shabby weapons? And rebar of all things… Can’t they find proper weapons, or are they just too scared to look?” the woman mocked unceremoniously. Though the others stayed silent, they all assumed a posture of enjoying the spectacle.


Mu Chen’s expression immediately became somewhat ugly. While he had anticipated some disdain from headquarters members towards branch personnel, this was too much…


The woman grew even more annoyed when she saw that Ling Mo remained unfazed, merely casting a casual glance at her from under his hat brim.


“Isn’t that right?” she asked the people around her.


These individuals didn’t respond, but a hint of amusement could be seen on their faces.
