King of Assassins-Chapter 924 - 649: Mutation (Part 2)

Jin Hongtao and several other men were all smiling with satisfaction, discussing something. Hai Ting stood in a corner with her head lowered, her hair slightly disheveled, and large bruises on her neck.

Yuan Youyuan glanced over, feeling particularly uncomfortable. But since Gao Xuan told her not to interfere, she couldn't say anything.

Shui Yunlan also noticed Hai Ting's unusual state, but she didn't say anything either.

One is willing to hit, the other is willing to take it, whether it's mutual affection or some kind of deal, that's their business.

Moreover, these Paladins from the Outer Star Realm are inherently low-level. Serving Jin Hongtao and his group isn't exactly losing out. Talking too much about this kind of thing just causes trouble.

Everyone boarded the flying ship. Gao Xuan and Shui Yunlan sat in the front cockpit.

To protect the pilots and equipment, the cockpit is independent, and its protection level is very high.

Shui Yunlan said to Gao Xuan, "Jin Hongtao is a playboy, always arrogant, don't lower yourself to his level."

Gao Xuan nodded. He could see that Shui Yunlan deliberately wanted to set up Jin Hongtao.

This matter is actually very simple; as long as Shui Yunlan explains his background, Jin Hongtao wouldn't dare provoke him unless he's crazy.

Huo Wuming, what kind of status does he have!

If both parties really escalate the conflict, Jin Hongtao will surely suffer. Of course, it wouldn't be good for him either.

Conflict with the Noble Youth would draw attention to his humble origins. Noble Youth could easily band together with strong animosity against him.

Huo Wuming can only ensure there won't be problems at the top level; if he angers many Noble Youth, his future path could become very difficult.

Gao Xuan actually didn't care about any of this. So-called strategy and scheming only matter within an organizational system.

His pursuit is not to rise within an organization; what he wants to do, neither Shui Yunlan nor Huo Wuming can imagine.

What Shui Yunlan is doing is like children in a kindergarten playing tricks to get an extra piece of candy.

Though the nature is slightly worse, the level is roughly the same.

Gao Xuan didn't care how Shui Yunlan handled things; he's only focused on earning enough points this time to obtain the Secret Technique he wants.

Shui Yunlan also couldn't quite understand Gao Xuan. As a man only thirty years old, he was too deep.

Jin Hongtao was aggressive and provocative, but Gao Xuan seemed like an ocean, indifferent to Jin Hongtao's antics—a mere spray to the infinite vast sea.

Shui Yunlan felt uncomfortable; she didn't like people difficult to grasp nor did she know what Gao Xuan wanted.

She even slightly regretted harming Gao Xuan to deal with Jin Hongtao, feeling it wasn't worth it.

At this point, regret was useless.

Shui Yunlan decided to adjust her attitude, showing Gao Xuan a bit more friendliness.

Women always have some advantages in handling interpersonal relationships. Especially beautiful and smart women.

Shui Yunlan softened her stance, and engaged with Gao Xuan in discussion on the Evil God issue, the conversation was quite pleasant.

Shui Yunlan also discovered Gao Xuan's level truly high, often speaking piercingly and pointing out the essence.

This isn't just simple talent; it's more derived from wisdom, from experience.

Gao Xuan's attention was mostly outside; he already saw the Divine King Palace from afar.

This grand palace has become a tourist spot, appearing older with the accumulation of time, losing the splendor of a thousand years ago.

The chaotic visitors made the palace feel capriciously noisy.

Undoubtedly, Hercules has lost control over the Sea Emperor Star Realm.

The flying ship circled overhead, and Gao Xuan saw many tourist destinations he had visited before.

Compared to a thousand years ago, the city has deteriorated quite a bit. Despite having more people, it became chaotic. Some areas even appeared as slums.

The poverty-stricken, soulless people wandering the streets like zombies showed no vitality or liveliness.

Gao Xuan sighed inwardly, but remained expressionless.

After circling Divine King City for almost two hours, Gao Xuan pointed at the Divine King Palace, "Found it, over there."

Shui Yunlan felt both surprised and suspicious; was it really found already?

While circling above the city, she occasionally activated the deep blue to search for the presence of the Evil God.

Aura from the Evil God often rippled in the city like wisps of smoke, yet the source couldn't be found.

Sitting beside Gao Xuan, she hadn't seen him use any magical artifacts or spells. Gao Xuan was looking aimlessly, how did he find the Charm Demon?

The flying ship landed on the Divine King Palace square, night had fallen, but more people had gathered.

The interior of the Divine King Palace long divided into entertainment zones, dazzled by neon lights at night, visitors carried an illusioned taste of partying till drop.

The group wore dark blue uniforms, conspicuous among the crowd. Despite this, pleasure-seeking people paid little attention to them.

At most, they would glance twice.

Jin Hongtao looked visibly disgusted, there were too many underclass people here. He could even smell the stench of smoke and alcohol.

He frequently shot vicious glances at Gao Xuan, wanting to see how Gao Xuan found the Evil God!

Gao Xuan stopped before a palace gate, embellished with various colors, flashing red and blue lights nearly blinded onlookers.

A group of scantily clad men and women projected dancing wildly to the beat of raging music, full of strong suggestive implications.
