“The Old Gods Association is clearly intent on a fight to the death with us at Sky God International!”

The middle-aged man’s gaze remained calm.

He was already aware of Mr. Qu’s death, but it didn’t cause much of a stir.

Lin Ye bowed his head, “Mr. Qu’s death is on me, my subordinate’s handling was inadequate, please punish me as you see fit, Mr. Sang.”

“You indeed have a reason, but a larger reason lies with the Old Gods Association. The opponent could accurately track your movements, perhaps we need to conduct an internal purge,” Mr. Sang, the middle-aged man, said indifferently.

Lin Ye mused, “Do you think there’s an insider working with the enemy?”

Mr. Sang did not answer this question, instead he asked, “Earlier you mentioned that the mysterious person from the Old Gods Association is codenamed Demon King? So, what is his ability?”

“At present, we have almost zero information about him… Mr. Qu died at his hands.”

Every time Lin Ye thought of that individual known as the Demon King, the one who hid a hand grenade in Mr. Qu’s clothing, he couldn’t wait to slaughter the Demon King right then and there.

“Do you think Huan Ling could possibly have set his sights on him?” Mr. Sang asked slowly.

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, “It’s possible, but it might not be. Huan Ling always likes to take credit, so he wouldn’t tell me about the target.”

Mr. Sang suddenly glanced at a reminder on his phone.

There was a long silence.

Lin Ye cautiously asked, “Mr. Sang, what’s wrong?”

The middle-aged man turned around, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at Da Peng City shrouded in heavy rain.

“Just now, I received an internal alert that all of Huan Ling’s accounts have been emptied… Arrange for someone to check the place where Huan Ling lives.”

“Yes…” Lin Ye couldn’t help saying, “Do you think Huan Ling might have betrayed the organization?”

“Find the evidence first,” Mr. Sang stated flatly.

Lin Ye nodded. However, for some unknown purpose, as he turned to leave, he muttered softly, “His departure this time seems to have lasted a bit too long…”

The moment the door closed, Mr. Sang’s action of reaching for his glass abruptly halted mid-air.

That evening at 9:45 p.m.

Pei Jinye arrived at his accommodations with his luggage in hand, just as the landlady across the way opened her door. The landlady, dressed in modest but elegant attire and appearing to have just finished a bath, stooped to leave a bag of trash at the doorstep. She was taken aback to see Pei Jinye returning.

“Just got back?”

Pei Jinye, his expression unchanged and carrying his luggage, replied with a simple smile, “The weather’s getting cooler, brought back some winter clothes.”

The landlady nodded in agreement, “There’s been too much autumn rain lately, it’s indeed time to prepare some warmer clothes…”

She hesitated.

Still, she couldn’t help but lower her voice and say, “Da Peng City has been a bit unsettled lately. The TV just reported an explosion on Ning Shan Road. Next time, try not to come back so late at night, and be sure to stay safe.”

Pei Jinye looked at the landlady, appearing to be frightened, and nodded his head amicably.

As if the night breeze was getting colder, the landlady bade him a quick farewell and closed her door.

Pei Jinye then opened his own door and entered, carrying the suitcase inside.

Just as he closed the door, the zipper of his luggage burst open.

Bundles of banknotes spilled out all over the floor.

Pei Jinye calmly turned on the light and began picking up the money.

After tonight’s operation, he had changed his appearance and crossed the city to take all of Huan Ling’s assets.

If Sky God International discovered anything and searched Huan Ling’s residence, there might be some unexpected surprises.

In the room across the hall.

A high school girl with her hair tied up in a bun wearing pajamas was sitting in the living room watching TV, hugging a fluffy doll, and turned to ask, “Mom, who were you talking to?”

“Little Li, the new tenant next door,” replied the landlady.

“Oh…” The girl didn’t take much interest and redirected her attention back to the TV.

The landlady came closer and, seeing the live pictures of Ning Shan Road on TV, exclaimed in alarm, “My goodness, what happened here? The whole road looks like it’s been plowed over!”

The girl spoke with a sense of mystery, “And that’s not all! I saw someone in the school group post that many people died on the scene… and fragments of a floating car were found five kilometers away. They’re saying it was an assassination of high-level members of Sky God International…”

“My word, is there no law left in this world?” the landlady couldn’t help but cry out.

The girl continued, “A classmate of mine lives nearby. They said that a Transcendent visited their community to gather information and ended up getting injured by a Sword Qi… It was a battle among the strong.”

The girl’s tone carried both admiration and longing.

On the other hand, the landlady was cursing and complaining, saying that life was already hard enough and now with so many problems it was practically going to be the death of her.

Tian District Six.

The residence of Huan Ling.

Lin Ye led his team there quickly, but he didn’t go up. Instead, he sat in the car, wearing a headset, and in front of him on a small table was a pile of peanuts, which he calmly tossed one by one into his mouth.

His subordinates had already moved in.

“Lin team, we’ve knocked on the door, but there’s no response from inside.”

Lin Ye crunched the peanuts in his mouth and simply hummed a response, “Pick the lock, sneak in.”

“Understood.”

Three seconds later.

A group of people sneaked into Huan Ling’s home.

“Lin team, there’s nobody inside, and there are signs of it having been searched…”

Lin Ye frowned slightly, “Keep looking… don’t miss a single hair.”

“There’s dust on the table… seems like it’s been a while since anyone’s been back… wait, what is this?” a surprised shout came through the headset.

“What?” Lin Ye asked urgently.

The subordinate hurriedly reported back, “We’ve found a hidden compartment in the floor, and inside is a photo of you from when you were outside the company…”

Lin Ye’s expression became grave on the spot, and before he could ask anything, suddenly he heard the sound of a pull ring being torn off in his ear.

He was first taken aback.

Then his expression changed dramatically.

“Boom!” A huge blaze engulfed Huan Ling’s entire room, and countless shards of glass exploded and scattered in every direction.

Even sitting in the car, Lin Ye was momentarily deafened by the ringing in his ears, as the hovercar was lifted several spins by the massive blast wave.

Blood spurted from his forehead as he kicked open the car door and climbed out.

The merciless flames appeared particularly ostentatious against the night sky.

And at that moment, Lin Ye’s expression was extremely ugly.

“Boss, I suspect Huan Ling has already betrayed the company!”

Another explosion occurred.

Da Peng City was destined to be sleepless tonight.

The entire Night Patrol Department was too busy to cope.

But none of this had anything to do with Pei Jinye.

He had cleaned out Huan Ling’s account, and even if Heaven God found relevant surveillance footage, they would only think that Huan Ling himself had transferred all the assets.

What does Huan Ling’s actions have to do with me, Pei Jinye!

The next morning.

Bronze Association.

As soon as Tang Huoyang arrived, he couldn’t help sharing the big news of the night with Pei Jinye.

“It was insane! You wouldn’t know, but in all the years I’ve been in Da Peng City, this is the first time I’ve seen Sky God International tripped up so badly… I’ve got to say, Old Gods Association is really something!”

Pei Jinye looked over with a knowing expression, “If that gets out, you might be invited for a ‘tea talk.’”

Tang Huoyang dismissed it nonchalantly, “I’m only chatting with you in private… Sky God International isn’t exactly squeaky clean themselves, they’re the very representation of capital. They were pushing for Federation law amendments before, and during that time, many businesses including my family’s were affected. We almost went bankrupt overnight… Now that Old Gods Association is giving them trouble, I’m happy about it.”

Speaking softly, he said, “I’ve heard that an insider has appeared within Heaven God.”

Pei Jinye was startled.

Tang Huoyang grinned, showing off the information he had obtained, “Heaven God has Thirteen Protectors, all top-tier Transcendents. One of them, named Huan Ling, is a real ace… You probably don’t know, but his ability allows him to take on the appearance of others. It’s said that he’s in cahoots with Old Gods Association and was behind the explosion attack last night.”

Pei Jinye silently sipped his medicinal soup.

See how I embody the past!
