Chapter 394: Chapter 188: Luring to Kill_2

Gretwin stared at the curtain and spoke, "Then, Lady Mei Wu, please allow me to personally present the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear."

The Angels revealed smiles upon hearing this, while the Golden Armored Knights fell silent once again.

There was strong resentment in their hearts. The Great Master Gretwin himself was to present it?

Gretwin! Get a hold of yourself! You are a noble of Black Origin City, a descendant of the Jade Blood Supreme. How could you be so demeaning?

This was an utter desecration of the glory of Black Origin City!

But given Gretwin’s ruthless manner, the Golden Armored Knights, despite their dissatisfaction, could not voice their objections.

"After you, Mr. Gretwin," the woman chuckled softly, accepting Gretwin’s offer.

Gretwin, holding the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear, took steps toward the curtain—toward the blurred silhouette behind it.

His heartbeat gradually quickened; he had never been so nervous, even when facing a giant dragon.

He approached the curtain and extended his large, powerful hand, slowly drawing it aside.

He was a creature of the Forbidden Zone, standing over two and a half meters tall, yet now he seemed exceedingly cautious.

As the curtain drew open, he saw a woman seated on a plush divan.

In that moment, even the Golden Armored Knights, hostile to the Heavenly Kingdom, could not help but lower their heads, not daring to gaze upon that extraordinarily beautiful yet tempting being, for merely one glance was enough to forcibly suppress the animosity in their hearts.

And Gretwin, as he wished, saw Mei Wu once again.

She had an unforgettable delicate face, alluring, suggestive fox-eyes, a pert nose and red lips, and snow-white skin. Clad in red gauze, her bare, pale shoulders and black hair long as a waterfall draped over her trembling bosom; paired with her slender waist, she revealed an elegant and graceful form.

The red gauze could hardly conceal her graceful figure. Through the light fabric, Gretwin could see her stunning curves.

Extraordinarily seductive, just one glance would make one harbor evil thoughts of tearing off her gauze and ravishing her on the ground.

Gretwin suppressed the wicked thoughts in his heart and handed the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear to the woman.

She stretched out her fair arm, her slender fingers gliding over Gretwin’s arm, gently brushing against his palm.

Gretwin remained motionless. He had slashed high-level Extraordinary Creatures, torn apart his equal giant tigers with his bare hands, and shattered the claws of Flying Dragons with his fists.

Yet now, he dared not exert any force, fearing he might harm the slender figure before him—even though this woman’s strength was not inferior to his.

The woman accepted the long spear, chuckling softly; her radiant and captivating face grew even more charming.

"What a fine spear..." the woman laughed lightly, "Thank you, Gretwin."

...

Upon leaving the cathedral, Gretwin’s smile vanished from his face.

"My lord, the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear was not easy to forge. Are we really giving it away to the Heavenly Kingdom?" one Golden Armored Knight spoke up.

The Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear was of extremely high quality, highly coveted by their own Overlord in Black Origin City, and now it had been gifted away to the Heavenly Kingdom by their personal visit, which they found hard to accept.

"It was my agreement with Mei Wu. Do not question me!" Gretwin glanced coldly at the Golden Armored Knight, his already terrifying black horns growing even more fierce.

The Golden Armored Knights fell silent, then a knight spoke, "Can we really trust them?"

That knight was clearly the leader of the knights, with branch-like golden horns atop his helmet.

"Do not worry," Gretwin said, "I know you are resistant to contact with the Heavenly Kingdom. I, too, faced great resistance coming here this time. But if we succeed, it would be a massive enhancement for both sides. At that time, both you and I will be credited. Jin Shu, don’t you want to be ennobled? Then seize this opportunity!"

"Yes, Lord Gretwin," Jin Shu eventually responded softly after hesitating, "What about the matter with the Jade Blood Supreme..."

"He is my grandfather. Although we have not met many times, I am still his grandson, and to some extent, I represent his will. Otherwise, you would not have followed me here," Gretwin replied, "When our mission is accomplished, he will also take a stand."

They did not know that as they discussed these matters,

a slim shadow was perched coldly on the tree branch above them, watching them intently.

...

The next day, after a night’s rest, Li Yelai’s weariness from days of travel had completely dissipated.

Carrying his dried meat, he discussed strategies with Long Lie, Gu Yue, and the others.

Then, he saw Little Mad King and Chasing Wind from the Netherworld Path return to the base with Ye Boshou.

They had gathered information for the whole night.

"How did it go? Did you find any other groups?" Dragon Scale asked first.

"Forget it, there won’t be any Ye Boshou who would reveal their position, just as it is with us," Chasing Wind picked up some food and boasted, responding, "Moreover, even at night, there are plenty of Angels on guard."

A group of assassins from the Netherworld Path, dispersed throughout Silver Light City, finding each other was virtually impossible.

Colleagues from the agency often spar with each other to hone their skills.

But the most detested are the Netherworld and Netherworld Path sparrings. Especially when both parties are experts in stealth.

In the training room, onlookers can’t see either participant. Anyone unaware would think the room was empty.

Once, two masters of stealth sparred, but neither could find the other, and it dragged on for two days and a night.

One couldn’t take it any longer, revealed himself, wanting to use the restroom.

Turns out, the other had already gone to the cafeteria for a meal...

The watching Processors were nearly exhausted to death, seized the two and gave them a beating.

Let alone in a city within the Forbidden Zone, even if one spotted the other, how to know if it’s a teammate or a Forbidden Zone Dark Guard?
