Chapter 335: Chapter 333: Apologize or Die. _1 Chapter 335: Chapter 333: Apologize or Die. _1 “Didn’t you have something going on at home? Why did you come over again?”

After getting into the car, Colin curiously asked a question.

Previously, before the trade between the two parties took place, Xia Liufang seemed to have something to attend to at home. He had thought she might need to take a few days off, but unexpectedly, there she was again in the afternoon.

Moreover, it seemed like she had come over deliberately…

At the moment, having heard Colin’s words, Xia Liufang, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, hesitated before saying, “It’s like this, a relative came through our family, and they wanted to get in touch with you through me…”

“Get in touch with me?”

Colin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly remembered that Old Master Wu had mentioned that someone would be looking for him.

He hadn’t expected them to come so quickly.

However, he had thought it would be under the guise of a mission exchange, as Old Master Wu had mentioned, not a private discussion…

Seeing that Colin didn’t say anything, Xia Liufang carefully added, “If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to pay any attention to it…”

“It’s fine, I’ve settled most things recently anyway, so taking a look shouldn’t be a big issue.”

Colin said, “I’m also curious what these people want from me.”

Old Master Wu only told him that these people were here to talk business and might even look for trouble, but he did not elaborate on the specifics.

“Okay, shall we head there now?”

Seeing that Colin didn’t seem too concerned about the matter, Xia Liufang let out a small sigh of relief.

“Go there? Let them come over themselves.”

Colin gestured with his hand and directed Xia Liufang to drive to the hotel where he had just alighted from the helicopter, then found the best room and began waiting for visitors to arrive.

“Boss Colin, the people coming to visit this time are probably these…”

In the room, Hu Zheng brought over a file with a list of names for the upcoming visitors.

“‘Ghost-faced’ Tang Qinghu, Eighth Level, tsk, seems like we have some high-caliber visitors this time…”

Colin briefly checked and felt that the matter they were going to discuss was not ordinary.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent someone of that level personally, and there was a name “Hu Xiaoyuan” on the list that caught his attention, which made Colin think of some embarrassing past events.

It was about an hour later…

The squad led by the “Divine Strike” Eighth Level arrived, and from afar, Colin could sense a faint oppressive aura spreading from outside the room.

Soon after, as the door opened, a man who was both fat and robust walked in.

His face bore the stiffness characteristic of the Extraordinary Ones, and at the moment, he seemed to be in a bad mood, emitting a somber aura that normal people couldn’t sense.

‘This must be that Tang Qinghu…’

Colin nodded in acknowledgment, then shifted his gaze to the person following behind him.

It was a woman who stood close to one meter ninety, well-proportioned but imposing in appearance—Hu Xiaoyuan.

For this particularly tall woman, Colin had a rather vivid memory…

Besides her, there was another person with a familiar scent but an unfamiliar face.

‘Fifth Level Personnel, probably also involved in the incident at the time, but it seems we didn’t directly interact? Still, it looks like those from the first promotion mission have come looking for me…’

Colin pursed his lips, having seen Hu Xiaoyuan’s name on the list and suspected it, now it was confirmed.

Yet, compared to him, Hu Xiaoyuan did not seem particularly certain when she saw Colin.

Because her memories related to him had become very, very vague.

‘Thank goodness, it looks like she doesn’t recognize me for sure, otherwise if she remembered all those weird things I said back then, I’d really have to endure social death…’

As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin gestured toward the sofa, indicating they should sit.

However, the corpulent Tang Qinghu did not take a seat and instead looked down at Colin sitting on the sofa: “Heh, meeting you is not an easy task…”

While speaking, Colin felt an indistinct and invisible mental force approaching.

This psychic power wasn’t lethal, but being enveloped by it certainly felt like being stripped naked.

‘So he really did come here to pick a fight?’

Colin’s brow furrowed, and without almost any hesitation, a burst of flames erupted from his body, like a mountain river’s torrential flood, vehemently crashing against that wave of psychic energy…

“Hiss, ah!”

A sudden sensation of being burned spread through, and Tang Qinghu couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

After that, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger within him. He had only meant to test the waters, yet the other party had responded so ruthlessly!

Veins popped on his face, twisting like earthworms, as if another fierce and strange face was about to emerge from beneath his own…

Before Tang Qinghu could further explode into anger, however, the Colin in front of him suddenly vanished.

Immediately after, something sharp and piercing pressed against his back, and a terrifying sense of fatality flowed through the sharp object and into his body.

All over his body, an inexplicable sense of swelling and discomfort arose…

Simultaneously, Colin’s cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him:

“I’m now giving you two choices.

“First, apologize to me and then sit down, let’s talk properly.

“Second, die.”

Colin’s tone was calm and concise, with no discernible emotion.

However, it did make Tang Qinghu realize that if he really chose to continue the struggle, he could very well drop dead on the spot in an instant.

‘Damn it, how on earth did he manage to do that…’ Tang Qinghu was inwardly shocked. He didn’t even know when exactly Colin had made his move, nor how he had done it.

Everything seemed as though time had stopped!

After a stalemate lasting two or three seconds, feeling the other party’s growing impatience, he finally spoke:

“I apologize, Mr. Colin, I have offended you.”

Fighting to the death over such a matter with someone of equally formidable strength clearly wasn’t wise.

Meanwhile, Hu Xiaoyuan and her supervisor Luo Wenhao, who had come with him, were inwardly startled, having not expected Colin to make Tang Qinghu back down so quickly.

This man, in their circles, was a true hot-head, the kind who would rather die than lose face…

“Hmm.”

Colin withdrew the Bone Spur, stepped past him, and returned to his seat:

“So, what exactly brings you here? Don’t tell me you’ve come all this way just to pick a fight.”

Upon hearing Colin’s somewhat sarcastic words, Tang Qinghu’s face twitched, but he took a deep breath and said:

“Have you heard of the ‘Spark’ project?”

“The Spark project? I’ve heard of it, what about it?”

Colin nodded, knowing that the official plan was, if exceptional events escalated to an unmanageable level, to transport humanity to several identified locations for escape as far as possible.

He wasn’t sure of the specifics, but rather than that, Colin was curious about what this project had to do with him?

“Yes, we’ve come for this project… More precisely, we’re here because of a special anomaly, hoping to inquire for information about it.”

As Tang Qinghu spoke, he took out a document and placed it on the table.

From it, Colin saw a familiar codename—

“The Infinite Train”.
