Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1588 - 1266: Assassin

He immediately threw the business card into the trash bin beside him.

Knock knock~

At this moment, the closed door was knocked on again.

"Come in."

Su Mo instinctively said.

Creak~

The door was pushed open again.

However, the moment the door opened again, Su Mo felt something was off and looked towards the door.

Standing at the door was an elder with white hair and a spirited demeanor, wearing a tailcoat.

This elder had a remarkable presence, elegantly bowing towards Su Mo.

"Lord Su Mo."

Su Mo squinted his eyes, today really was like seeing a ghost. He had just checked in.

Hadn’t even caught his breath, and all kinds of characters came knocking.

He asked indifferently, "Who are you?"

"Lord Su Mo, you don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know one thing—I am here to give you money."

The elder before him didn’t even reveal his own identity.

Su Mo found it increasingly interesting. He stared at the elder and replied with a slight smile, "We’re not related. Why would you give me money?"

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Naturally, there’s a price for giving you money."

The elder said calmly.

"What price?"

"It’s very simple. As long as you withdraw from the league, twenty trillion Star Coins will be given to you!"

The elder before him offered a staggering figure.

Upon hearing this number, Su Mo’s eyelids twitched. In this era, there are few people who can afford to offer twenty trillion Star Coins.

Moreover, this was just for him to quit the competition. Thinking of this, he immediately knew the identity of the elder before him and said in a deep voice.

"You are from the Mechanical Empire."

The elder standing in front of Su Mo just smiled, neither confirming nor denying it, and merely said.

"Lord Su Mo, I know you are a smart person and should know how to make a choice!"

"What if I refuse?"

Su Mo squinted and asked.

"Then it’s a pity. You would have made a very bad choice."

The elder showed a genuinely regretful expression.

Su Mo suddenly felt significant pressure. When soft approaches don’t work, then hard approaches always follow.

He now felt increasingly grateful that he had not chosen to reside in the Mechanical Empire.

Su Mo slightly adjusted his fluctuating emotions and said calmly to the elder, "You can go now."

"Goodbye."

The elder’s eyes glinted slightly as he replied. He knew very well that the chances of swaying the young man before him were slim. He then bade farewell and closed the door as he left.

After the elder departed, Su Mo’s expression grew increasingly grim.

The league had yet to start, but so many complications had already arisen, suggesting that the situation was not promising.

The low voice of the creator, Swallower, echoed in Su Mo’s mind.

"It seems you need to be cautious. Although this is not the Mechanical Empire’s territory, their claws must have infiltrated here. The conditions they offered you show just how determined they are to win this league."

"I’ve realized that. I will be careful, but I hope they behave themselves and don’t play too many tricks. Otherwise, I don’t mind dealing with them."

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

"Hmm."

The creator, Swallower, didn’t say much more.

Knock knock~

At this moment, the door was knocked on again.

Su Mo’s expression tightened instantly. Could there still be more visitors?

Fortunately, he heard Qian Chengxue’s voice at the door.

"Su Mo, I’m coming in."

"Come in."

Su Mo responded with a smile.

Then the door was pushed open, and Qian Chengxue walked in. She glanced around and noticed Su Mo’s suitcase still on the ground.

She hadn’t unpacked the clothes and everyday items, so she stepped forward to help organize, while asking.

"Su Mo, aren’t you going to meet with Wang Hai and the others?"

"Next time, perhaps. The journey was quite tiring, and I’m a bit weary."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

In fact, after the elder’s disturbance, he was in no mood to socialize. If he went, and something happened to Qian Chengxue after he left, it would be troublesome.

He decided to take a cautious approach and observe first.

"Yes, the journey with transfers, finding a hotel was quite exhausting, we also feel quite tired."

Qian Chengxue responded with a smile.

"Then rest well tonight, gather your energy, and go exploring tomorrow. There’s still five days before the competition starts, so there’s no rush."

Su Mo thought for a moment and agreed.

"Alright, then later we can have a small meal in the dining area nearby and return to rest afterwards."

Qian Chengxue suggested in good spirits.

They were staying in this courtyard with a private dining area that theoretically only served them as guests.

"Sure."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

"Then I’ll finish organizing here, and we can go."

"Hmm, let me help."

.....

At night, the tired group all entered a deep slumber.

Outside the window, insects chirped now and then, accompanied by a gentle breeze.

At this moment, the air seemed to ripple slightly.

A pair of purple eyes peered through the window and the gap in the curtains, observing the activity inside.

Upon seeing the dress hanging on the clothes rack.

The purple eyes disappeared and reappeared outside Su Mo’s window.

Immediately, an invisible hand gently touched the closed window.

At the moment of contact, Su Mo’s eyes snapped open, and he sat up. His body was instantly covered by his nano-armor, appearing automatically.

He immediately grabbed the Heavenly Sin Blade by his side, turned to gaze outside the seemingly empty window, and shouted.

"Who!"

Instantly, the air rippled.

The creator, Swallower, said in a low voice.

"Escaped!"

Su Mo sprang up, opened the window, and leaped out.

"Xiao Shi, give me vision!"

Upon landing, Su Mo immediately instructed.

"Super Vision!"

The creator, Swallower, promptly enabled the Super Vision State for Su Mo.

In the Super Vision State, Su Mo immediately spotted a blurred figure in the distance, running towards the Maple Forest.

Su Mo burst into full speed in pursuit.

In just a few breaths, Su Mo managed to close the distance.

Seemingly sensing Su Mo chasing, the transparent figure abruptly stopped and swung an icy Blade at Su Mo.

Su Mo accurately raised the Heavenly Sin Blade in his hand to block!

Clang!

Sparks flew! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Su Mo felt a tingling sensation in his hand; the opponent’s strength was beyond what he had imagined.

However, Su Mo didn’t retreat a bit, swiftly pulling back the Heavenly Sin Blade with a counterattack sweeping directly at the opponent’s head.

The transparent figure in front of him retreated to dodge!

But Su Mo didn’t stop his assault, taking a large stride forward, striking with a domineering slash.

Forcing the blurry figure in front to only passively defend!

Clang clang!

After a few exchanges, Su Mo squinted his eyes and swung the Heavenly Sin Blade like a swift wind.

The figure also retreated at their limit.
