Undercurrents Surge

"These guys really aren't coming at me."

Outside the light screen, Hayashi Rikawa withdrew his sight and murmured in a low voice:

"The assassination of Mototobu ... Who is Mototobu?"

He searched in his mind and found that there was no memory of this person.

"Maybe he's an influential figure somewhere."

Hayashi Rikawa secretly memorized this name in his heart, preparing to investigate it later.

"And from what these people are saying, it seems like Night Song and Qian Chong are at war."

This was good news for Hayashi Rikawa, with Night Song pulling most of Thousand Heavy's energies, the latter wouldn't have much left to fight against him.

However, while Thousand Heavy's people didn't intend to trouble him now, he didn't intend to let them go.

Instead of waiting for these guys to complete their mission and then turn around to deal with him, it would be better to strike first and take the initiative to finish them off.

Furthermore, the heavy rings these people were carrying were also a considerable amount of wealth, if he could get his hands on all of them, he might be able to gather enough crystals to draw cards again.

As his thoughts flew, Hayashi Rikawa quickly made a decision.

But he was not in a hurry to act, and decided to monitor a few more days, to find out the strength of these guys before acting.

From their conversation, there will be another batch of accomplices arriving in a short time, perhaps it would be better to wait for them to arrive and then kill them all together, or else they will be on guard, and then wanting to deal with the rest of the people will be troublesome.

"The other Mr. Fusawashii sounds like Hundred Layer Cadre. This person had better not be against him. With my current strength, the chance of winning against Silver Peak is not great."

Shōchū who died in his hands was also at Silver Peak, but that time was just a trick. If he was replaced by a direct battle, the other party would not give him time to incantation Kidō, but the Kidō below #30 to Silver Peak was not very effective either, the only thing that could pose a threat was Shikai.

But once Shikai couldn't kill the opponent, then he would be in a very bad situation.

After a pause, Hayashi Rikawa opened his personal interface and took a look. The number of reinforcement points was only 848, it would take at least another month to save up enough points to upgrade his Reiatsu.

"Alright, in another month, when Reiatsu is promoted to LV 5, my strength should be able to break through to the Silver Rank. By then, Shikai will not need to be as constrained as it is now."

...

"What did you say?"

Boku Gou sank his face, staring grimly at his deputy in front of him, his tone containing a hint of incredulity and coldness.

"Two Silver-ranked Transcendents died for no apparent reason, and you couldn't find out why?"

With his words, a palpitating pressure suddenly filled the room, and the deputy standing in front of the desk was scared pale and sweating profusely, holding back the fear in his heart, he replied with fear and trembling, "Sir, it's not that we didn't find out the reason, but, rather, Seven of Hearts and Eight of Diamonds indeed die by accident."

"Even though there was not a single seriously injured person on the entire train, and only the two of them died?" Boku Gou said with an expressionless face, word for word, "Are you trying to tell me that the reason for their deaths was because they were too moldy?"

The assistant opened his mouth, but could not speak.

The study suddenly fell into a dead silence.

It was a long time before Boku Gou's deep voice sounded again.

"Intensify efforts and continue to investigate the causes of death of Seven of Hearts and Eight of Diamonds. In addition, mobilize nearby personnel to take over the mission of both of them."

"Yes, yes!" The assistant hearing this suddenly relaxed secretly, quickly opened the documents in his hand, and after a careful examination, he said quickly, "The nearest to Rinyou City are Five of Diamonds and Six of Clubs. The two are in Rinyou City right now, if you take the train ..."

In the middle of speaking, the assistant reacted and quickly wanted to change his words, "If you take the ferry, you will arrive in about three days."

He was really afraid. Now, those two people died too strangely. If the new mission taker dies on the train, he really can't explain it. Just in case, it's better to take other transportation.

Luckily, Rinyou City was a riverfront city, and the ferry was well developed, so even if you don't take the train, you can still take the ferry.

Boku Gou waved his hand impatiently: "Remember, I don't want to hear bad news again."

The assistant hurriedly responded, bowing respectfully. Then he walked cautiously back out, and wiped his sweat in relief until the door was closed.

...

Inside the cafe, Mō Shō Hitomi was stirring the coffee in front of her, looking out of the window with one hand on her cheek, her white calves swaying gently, and under the light of the soft lamps, she seemed to be like a leprechaun with a charm that made her heart skip a beat.

Not far away, a man in his thirties in a suit and leather shoes can't help swallowing saliva. He finally couldn't help it. He stretched out his hand to tidy up his tie, got up from his seat, and was about to walk over to talk.

However, as soon as he took a step, he felt his heart beating like a drum. The blood within the body seemed to boil, and a sense of nausea and vertigo suddenly surged up.

Thud!!

The man softened his feet and sat back on the chair.

A waiter nearby was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Sir, are you okay?"

"No, nothing." The man waved his hand and suddenly found that the heartbeat had returned to normal, and the dizziness quickly dissipated, as if it had never occurred.

"Is it because you have stayed up too much lately?"

Back to his senses, the man no longer had the heart to talk to, bought the order and left in a hurry, ready to go to the clinic to see the doctor.

Looking at his back, the waitress had a perplexed look on her face.

What's the matter?

This was the third customer today. Was there something wrong with the coffee?

After some thought, she decided to go to the store manager to discuss the matter.

Watching this scene, Mō Shō Hitomi skimmed her lips, and then sighed with boredom.

"Wait, wait, wait, is it the end?"

She hummed as her ears flicked, "Hodo Haru, you've gotten bold, you actually dared to let me wait for you for so long."

"No way, I took a ride with a beautiful woman, and exchanged the skills of getting out of the car with her on the way, so I delayed a little time."

A young man wearing a red coat, hair dyed red, with earrings and lip studs, appearing extremely personalized, responded with a smile, sat down opposite Mō Shō Hitomi, and casually said to the waiter who came over to order:

"A cup of coffee, same as her."

"Sooner or later you will die on a woman's belly." Mō Shō Hitomi glanced at him sideways.

Hodo Haru snorted and did not respond.

If she was a different woman, he would hit a snake and go on a stick at this time, and make her started to lose her tongue.

But Mō Shō Hitomi… I'd rather not, if you annoy her, then the parts that should be filled with blood were not filled with blood, and the parts that should not be filled with blood will be filled with blood directly.

After the waiter finished serving the coffee, Hodo Haru coughed and asked, "So Miss Mō Shō Hitomi, have you found someone from Qianzhong?"

"No."

Hodo Haru nodded, it's no surprise that Qianzhong will not be so simple to show his feet if he wants to execute a confidential assassination mission.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"What else." Mō Shō Hitomi rolled her eyes, "We don't have a stronghold in Rinyou, so if we want to find a needle in a haystack like a bunch of rats lurking around, we'll have to find help."

"What kind of helper."

"Who else is there." Mō Shō Hitomi took a sip of coffee, "Forgotten River Gang."
