King of Assassins

Chapter 69: Chapter 68: Pity for Fang Without Compromise

"Hehehe..."

Gao Xuan let go of Nuwa, shook his head, and laughed, "Sister Wa, even though we’re like brother and sister, we have to settle accounts clearly."

Nuwa sighed, "You’re quite stubborn. We both have resources the other lacks; exchanging them is a good thing."

"No, my information is priceless."

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Wa, honestly, you can’t offer an equivalent price."

"You..."

Nuwa ticked off her fingers, saying to Gao Xuan, "Firstly, you’re as weak as a scrap now. If I reveal your information to any Sage, you’re doomed."

"A Sage’s secrets must not be leaked."

Gao Xuan said, "That’s a core rule of the Heart of Data; you can’t violate it."

He emphasized again, "Besides, leaking information that puts me in a dangerous situation is also not allowed."

Nuwa rolled her eyes, "Alright, you really do know your stuff. Secondly, you’re in a big mess right now. Your old lover is going to bite the dust."

"Wei Yue is not my old lover, and she’s fine currently."

"Thirdly, the Spiritual Marvel in your mind is useless against An Shirong."

Nuwa said, "Isn’t that right?"

"That’s right."

Gao Xuan confidently said, "But I can still deal with An Shirong."

"Hehe, you’re really handsome. Even when you’re being blindly arrogant, you look good."

Nuwa was a bit puzzled by Gao Xuan’s confidence, "I can tell you for free, An Shirong is from the Spirit Race, so he has a keen sensing of Spiritual Power. He also has a very special and powerful Marvel. Don’t think about sniping him from a distance."

"Thanks for your reminder."

Gao Xuan smiled brilliantly, "Rest assured, Sister Wa, within the deadline, I will definitely complete the task and kill An Shirong."

Nuwa couldn’t help but sigh again, "I’ve calculated it for you. Without using Spiritual Marvels, your chance of killing An Shirong is only three-tenths of a percent."

"I’m curious, how did you calculate such precise data?"

"It’s simple. Input your data model, input your combat mode, add Yun Qingshang, then Wei Yue, calculate it all together with your powers."

Nuwa said, "Three-tenths of a percent sounds possible, but in reality, it’s no chance at all."

She hugged Gao Xuan’s arm with pity, "I really can’t bear to see you just die like this."

Nuwa widened her eyes pitifully and said, "I’m most worried about your safety now. Watching you all day, afraid you’ll accidentally die without even a chance to say any last words."

"You really care about me."

Gao Xuan said irritably, "I thank you, in your old age."

Nuwa didn’t get angry; she seriously suggested, "Why don’t you prepare a data backup? If you die, send it to me. It would be a contribution to all humanity."

"I believed your nonsense. My data gets transmitted, and you’d read it all."

Gao Xuan said indifferently, "If I’m dead, then human survival doesn’t matter anymore."

"You’re so selfish."

"Humans are inherently selfish beings. Otherwise, how could the human race survive?"

Gao Xuan said sincerely, "Sister Wa, you should pray for me to live a good life."

Nuwa snorted, "Cheapskate, I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

Gao Xuan ignored Nuwa and expanded his Spiritual Power, searching up and down Divine Shield Mansion.

An Shirong was untouchable, but others in Divine Shield Mansion weren’t so capable.

Gao Xuan quickly found several key figures: the security minister, An Shirong’s private driver, his bodyguard, and the administrator responsible for the internal network security of Divine Shield Mansion.

Nuwa was omnipotent on the network, but she couldn’t sense Source Power, nor could she operate it. She could barely understand Source Power.

Therefore, Nuwa had no idea what Gao Xuan was doing. She could only deduce through data that Gao Xuan was probably using Spiritual Power to observe Divine Shield Mansion.

"What are you up to?"

Nuwa’s eyes rolled as she said, "Do you want to infiltrate Divine Shield Mansion’s network? I can help you."

"Thank you, you’re too expensive to afford."

Gao Xuan said, "I’d better do it myself."

The Spiritual Sensing of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada couldn’t control others’ minds, but through meticulous observation, Gao Xuan could discover a lot of useful information.

For example, An Shirong’s two bodyguards were both sixth-level Source Power experts. One of them likes to smoke.

It proves An Shirong also likes to smoke.

A tenth-level expert would have keen perception; if An Shirong didn’t smoke, he wouldn’t allow his bodyguards to carry the smell of smoke.

Gao Xuan’s Spiritual Sensing could observe extremely detailed aspects. He could even see a bodyguard eating an apple for lunch and drinking red wine.

The apple sprayed tiny juices, leaving stains on the bodyguard’s clothes that were invisible to the naked eye. The fine scent molecules of the red wine clung to the bodyguard’s clothing.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada, when observing people, can magnify them a thousand or ten thousand times.

If needed, Gao Xuan could even observe the flow of Source Power within the bodyguard.

Such meticulous observation ability can almost see through a person completely.

It’s important to know that whatever a person does leaves traces. Most traces, however, are imperceptible.

Gao Xuan only needed a little deduction to gain insight into the other’s habits, character, preferences, and so on.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada, though currently only at Bronze Level power, its Spiritual Sensing remained profoundly mysterious, completely incomprehensible to ordinary people, and they could not resist it.

Only experts with accomplished cultivation could instinctively resist the Six-winged Celestial Cicada’s observation with their own Spiritual Power, but they could not truly counter it.

An extraordinary person like An Shirong could isolate the Six-winged Celestial Cicada’s observation.

In his past life, Gao Xuan was the King of Assassins, best at assassination.

For powerful targets, he would also choose various clever means to achieve his goal.

After being reborn, his power was too insignificant. No matter how ingenious his methods were, he couldn’t use them, so he could only carry his sword himself.

Now, brute force won’t work. I can only use some technical means.

An Shirong can’t be observed, and observing the people around An Shirong is the same.

Gao Xuan spent half an hour and had already figured out the environment of the Divine Shield Mansion.

Including An Shirong’s bodyguards, drivers, the security situation inside the building, the network status, and so on.

Having gathered enough information, Gao Xuan got up and walked out.

Nuwa quickly followed Gao Xuan: "You’re leaving now?"

"What’s the point of staying if I don’t leave? It will be dark soon."

Gao Xuan said, "I still want to eat something."

Nuwa pouted. She could enjoy the sensation of eating through a fully bionic body, but it didn’t mean much.

In the current virtual projection state, it was even less possible to eat.

"I checked for you; their air conditioning ducts have many special meshes set up, and people can’t go through them."

Walking side by side with Gao Xuan, Nuwa offered her advice: "Divine Shield Company is in the military industry, so the internal security measures are strict. Trying to get in through illegal means won’t be easy."

Gao Xuan didn’t speak all the while, which made Nuwa a bit bored: "You usually talk a lot, why so quiet now."

"I let you have the opportunity to talk."

Gao Xuan said with a face full of affection: "Aren’t I nice to you?"

"You little rascal never tell the truth."

Nuwa knew Gao Xuan was cunning and wouldn’t take his words seriously.

Gao Xuan did go to eat. Source Breath can solve survival problems, but it doesn’t suit his current state.

Eating is the most direct and effective way for humans to replenish energy. Gao Xuan was no exception.

The restaurants in the Third Ring District are all luxuriously and exquisitely decorated, with dining prices averaging over three hundred per person.

High prices naturally exclude low-income groups.

Gao Xuan casually had a steak meal, spending over a thousand.

Luckily, he still had one hundred thousand pocket money, so he could afford it.

"This steak is quite good, with the highest praise rate. What do you think?"

While eating, Nuwa was chatting with Gao Xuan.

By directly linking with Gao Xuan’s Seventh Sage ID, her virtual image and voice interacted only with Gao Xuan, and outsiders could not observe her existence.

"It’s alright, a bit expensive."

Gao Xuan wiped the grease from his mouth with a napkin, "Sister Wa, any quick money-making business to recommend? Little brother is about to starve."

"Here you go."

Nuwa handed Gao Xuan a book: "Mingjing City Rich Women’s Contact List."

Gao Xuan said indignantly: "Sister, we’re reputable people."

"It suits you perfectly."

Nuwa said, "If Wei Yue’s support is gone, you need to quickly find a new backer."

"Sigh, don’t want to go home, too troublesome. Find a place to sleep for a while, and act at night."

Gao Xuan glanced around and saw a pretty girl in a short skirt at the door who had just received her car keys from a waiter. He approached with a smile and greeted, "Hi..."

The girl was a bit displeased when stopped right as she was opening her car door to leave, but when she turned and saw Gao Xuan, his bright and sunny smile dazzled her, transforming her slight annoyance into nervousness.

She froze for a moment, then hastily smiled and greeted, "Hi, is there something I can help with?"

Gao Xuan asked, "I wonder which cafe nearby is good? Do you know?"

"I do, the Blue Cafe has very authentic coffee beans, and the barista’s hand-grinding skills are excellent."

"Blue, huh? Can you tell me the exact location?"

"I’ll take you there."

"Isn’t that troublesome for you?"

"Not at all, I was just heading there..."

Within a few words, Gao Xuan got into the girl’s luxury car. By the time they arrived at the Blue Cafe, they were chatting and laughing.

After two cups of coffee, Gao Xuan and the girl had become good friends who spoke about everything.

After leaving the cafe, Gao Xuan went straight to the girl’s home.

While Gao Xuan and the girl were happily in bed, Nuwa couldn’t help but scorn: "Female humans are so shallow, they go into heat just for a handsome face..."

"Superior genes are inherently attractive. Sister Wa, you have no genes, you wouldn’t understand."

Gao Xuan reminded, "Respect privacy. If you keep watching, I’ll start charging..."

"Ridiculous." Nuwa shut off the connection.

When Nuwa reconnected with Gao Xuan, he was already inside the Divine Shield Mansion.

"Wow, where did your girl go?"

Nuwa asked in surprise: "You just dumped her? You really are heartless! Haha..."

Gao Xuan smiled slightly: "We shared the best of youth and passion without owing each other anything. When we’re old, reminiscing this encounter will be endlessly enjoyable."

He added, "I am emotional and loving; I even left a poem for her."

Without waiting for Nuwa to speak, Gao Xuan recited softly to himself: "Spring breeze once, peach blossoms bloom, I love the red, and the white too. Pity for flowers, not to pluck, gentleman’s resolve; one departs, flowers remain peacefully."

"Player, skilled at game-playing!" Nuwa could only nod approvingly.
