Nie Xiaoxia also said, "Sister Xiaowei, if we're not mistaken, the reason you followed this group of pigs here was to catch a big fish. Now, you can just let Jianfei contact the big fish, so why...why did you suddenly kill these people?"
Zhuo Xiaowei said casually, "I've already found out the forces behind this that want to deal with Jianfei. There's no need to play along anymore. These ignorant scum have desecrated us and deserve to die. Alright, Cuiyun, burn this place down. I'm going to get the car." With that, Zhuo Xiaowei walked straight out of the warehouse.
Watching Zhuo Xiaowei's retreating figure, Zheng Cuiyun and Lou Xiaoxia both stuck out their tongues, thinking to themselves, "This woman is amazing. She's meticulous, decisive, and even more formidable than a man."
Before long, the entire factory was engulfed in flames. Zheng Cuiyun was a fire-type ability user, and the temperature of her fire-type flames was much higher than that of ordinary flames. Nie Xiaoxia was a wind-type ability user, and the fire, aided by the wind, burned the entire warehouse down in an instant.
After finishing these tasks, Zhuo Xiaowei drove back to the city. However, she didn't go home immediately. Instead, she went to a nearby shopping mall, bought several sets of men's clothing, and then booked a hotel room. In the room, Zhuo Xiaowei did makeup for the three of them. It was simple makeup. Although it wasn't as magical as Gao Jianfei's disguise technique, it was still...
That's enough to fool most informants. You see, Zhuo Xiaowei is an outstanding agent; she excels at things like disguise and assassination.
Using their disguises, the three of them easily returned home.
At home, everyone else was still out, only Chen Xian and Xiao Xiao were there. The family was busy preparing dinner.
"Oh? You're back? You're home so early? Did you find a job?" Chen Xian asked as she came out of the kitchen.
"Xiaoxian, you don't know..." Zheng Cuiyun hurriedly wanted to tell her what had happened today.
Zhuo Xiaowei quickly interrupted, "It's alright, it's nothing. Xiaoxian, we've found jobs."
"You go about your business. We can't cook, so we won't go into the kitchen and cause any trouble."
Chen Xian had no doubts whatsoever and hurried off to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
"Sister Liu Xiaowei, why won't you let me tell Xiaoxian?" Zheng Cuiyun asked, puzzled.
Although Xiaoxian is also a superhuman, she is fundamentally a kind-hearted family woman. "We shouldn't tell her about this fighting for now, lest she worry about Jianfei." Zhuo Xiaowei had her own considerations.
“Then let’s contact Jianfei right away,” Nie Xiaoxia said.
"Don't worry." Zhuo Xiaowei seemed confident about everything. "Jianfei is currently playing with Leshi, and we've disturbed their enjoyment. It's nothing serious; we can tell him when Jianfei returns tonight. The Shangguan Gang's headquarters are in the Southern Continent, while this is the Northern Continent, a vast distance apart. They can't possibly come over immediately, nor would they dare to. They want to use Jianfei, so the initiative is in his hands. We don't need to be nervous."
After saying that, Zhuo Xiaowei turned on the TV and started watching. She even laughed out loud at some of the funny segments on variety shows, as if she didn't care at all about the kidnapping incident or the killing of a group of thugs.
Her mental fortitude is terrifying. She's meticulous in everything she does; she's an extremely formidable woman.
That evening, everyone who had gone out returned.
Gao Jianfei held Qin Leshi's hand, and Qin Leshi's face was filled with undisguised happiness.
In the evening, everyone had a happy gathering and dinner, enjoying dozens of dishes cooked by Chen Xian and Xiao Xiao. They couldn't stop praising Chen Xian's culinary skills.
After dinner, Zhuo Xiaowei called Gao Jianfei aside and whispered, "Jianfei, today, Cuiyun, Xiaoxia, and I were kidnapped. It was the Shangguan Gang. The leader of the Shangguan Gang wants you to contact him. As for the group of henchmen who kidnapped us, we've already dealt with them cleanly and efficiently, destroying all evidence."
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei's eye twitched. "You actually dared to kidnap my woman?"
A fierce killing intent flashed across Gao Jianfei's eyes. At this moment, Gao Jianfei's expression was like that of a demon, even Zhuo Xiaowei couldn't help but shiver.
Immediately, Gao Jianfei suppressed his murderous intent and said calmly, "Originally, I was planning to recuperate for a while, but trouble has come knocking on my door so quickly. There's really no way to avoid it. Well... alright, let's deal with this matter first. Since the Shangguan Gang is so disrespectful to me, their ultimate fate can only be destruction."
Immediately, Gao Jianfei and Zhuo Xiaowei went to the study and locked the door. Gao Jianfei took out his phone and called Shangguan Longfei directly. "Haha, Chief Shangguan, long time no see. How's business with the gang?"
"Gao Jianfei! You still know how to call me!" Shangguan Longfei's furious voice came from the other end of the phone. "I told you to call me this morning, but you didn't! You're challenging the gang's dignity! What about my men? What have you done to them?"
"Chief Shangguan, please don't speak to me with such an aggressive attitude. In fact, everything you've done today has crossed my bottom line. What I hate is when someone threatens my woman and forces me into this situation. I've already dealt with your subordinates. I've released some level 1 ghosts to protect my woman at all times, so don't send any more useless things to kidnap her. I'll kill as many of these trash as there are."
"you!"
Shangguan Longfei roared, then forcibly lowered his voice to control himself. "Fine, I admit I went a bit too far today. But it was all for the sake of getting you here."
As for those henchmen, their deaths are no big deal. In the eyes of us exorcists, the lives of ordinary people are less valuable than dogs. I don't intend to get entangled with you over this matter. I also won't pursue the matter of your disappearance last time. I only have one question for you: what about our previous agreement?”
"You mean, about killing Shen Bing?" Gao Jianfei asked bluntly.
"Hmm. When are you planning to make your move?" Shangguan Longfei asked quickly. "I advise you not to play games. Since we've made an agreement, you should honor it."
If you pull any tricks, you'll die a horrible death.
"Alright, stop threatening me. I'm definitely going to kill Shen Bing. During my disappearance, I was simply accumulating strength to deliver a fatal blow to her," Gao Jianfei said with certainty.
This is no exaggeration. He really intended to kill Shen Bing.
For experience points. For leveling up.
As for morality, killing an alien didn't evoke any moral condemnation or inner turmoil for Gao Jianfei. Besides, the evil deeds committed by a ruthless and cunning figure like Shen Bing were countless and unforgivable. He was a villain. Gao Jianfei was eager to rid the people of the Northern Continent of this scourge.
Moreover, in a very short time, Gao Jianfei had already devised a plan…
Kill Shen Bing and conquer the Northern Continent of Dragon Ball!
Anyway, now that he's arrived in Longqiu, given his extraordinary abilities and connections to the Shangguan Gang, Gao Jianfei feels it's indeed difficult for him to live a normal life. He plans to get rid of Shen Bing and take her place.
Anyway, he's a level 7 exorcist, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to take Shen Bing's place. Besides, after taking control of the Northern Continent, Gao Jianfei will have Fei Long, Chen Yaohui, and Tang Mao manage it.
"Oh, since you haven't changed your mind, that's good! We're still brothers, still good partners," Shangguan Longfei said on the other end of the phone.
"Chief Shangguan, you've also planted many spies in the Northern Continent. Here's what I'll do: give me a map showing Shen Bing's likely route in the coming days. I'm planning to kill him by force!" Gao Jianfei said directly.
"Forcefully kill him? No! That seems unlikely! Shen Bing is a level 7 exorcist; it's very difficult for you to kill him head-on," Shangguan Longfei quickly said.
“No. You have to believe in my abilities,” Gao Jianfei said, almost obsessively.
That makes sense. His family and friends are all terrifying Platinum-level ability users. He has also fused the martial arts of two Level 7 Demons, so there's no need for him to resort to a sneak attack.
A direct kill!
Chapter 646 Getting Ready to Make a Move!
Gao Jianfei actually demanded that Shen Bing be killed outright. Shen Bing, also known as Long Qiu, was one of the two Level 7 Exorcists, a behemoth whose mere stomp could make a dragon ball tremble. The Shangguan brothers, Longfei and Chuxiong, had only dared to assist Gao Jianfei in his clandestine assassination attempt on Shen Bing. Moreover, this was a plan gamble with their lives… They hadn't considered a direct, face-to-face kill. Now, Gao Jianfei's sudden suggestion had stunned Shangguan Longfei on the other end of the phone.
Shangguan Longfei delayed in replying to Gao Jianfei. This was a plan that involved risking their lives.
Gao Jianfei, however, was quite impatient. "Stop beating around the bush and get to the point! I'm not one to scheme. I believe in power. I believe that before overwhelming power, all schemes are futile! You should also know that Shen Binglongqiu possesses extremely high prestige and power, and the Northern Continent is his territory."
To carry out such an assassination plan on his territory, no matter the scheme, would be futile! It would be completely ineffective. It's much more efficient to execute a swift and decisive kill than to waste time calculating these plans. That's my style. Therefore, I don't need any schemes, nor do I need any advisors from you. I only need Shen Bing's precise route. Understand? If you still don't trust me, I can withdraw from this plan.”
"No," Shangguan Longfei finally spoke. "Alright, since you insist on this, then wait for our news. Our Shangguan Gang has a deep-rooted influence and information network in the Northern Continent. We should be able to tell you some of the places Shen Bing will definitely appear in recently. Just wait for our news."
"Okay," Gao Jianfei said with a smile. "It's settled then. However, I'm warning you both: don't try to hurt my woman again. It's a foolish thing to do. I advise you not to ruin our cooperation with such behavior and only bring trouble upon yourselves!"
After saying that, the two ended the call.
Gao Jianfei was extremely dissatisfied with what had happened today. If it weren't for Zhuo Xiaowei and the others possessing supernatural abilities—the ability to protect themselves—today's events would have been a tragedy! In Gao Jianfei's mind, the Shangguan Gang had already been sentenced to death. However, Gao Jianfei still needed to utilize the Shangguan Gang's information network. Therefore, he only issued a verbal warning to the Shangguan Gang. Once Shen Bing was eliminated, Gao Jianfei would personally deal with the Shangguan Gang and eradicate them completely.
After ending the call, on Shangguan's end...
In fact, Shangguan Chuxiong had been listening in the entire time while Gao Jianfei was talking to Shangguan Longfei. He was a level 6 exorcist. He was the core figure of the entire Shangguan gang.
"Brother, what do you think?" Shangguan Longfei asked Shangguan Chuxiong.
"This guy has the air of a ruthless tyrant," Shangguan Chuxiong said silently. "If you can't control this kind of person, you'll only get hurt. However, judging from his tone, he really is going to kill Shen Bing. But I doubt whether he can succeed. He seems to underestimate Shen Bing too much. He can't understand Shen Bing's power. This Gao Jianfei, at best, is just a G-level exorcist. Compared to Shen Bing, he's a whole level below. All he has is mystery."
A sneak attack might still kill Shen Bing. A direct confrontation, however, has a very low chance of success. Oh well, since Gao Jianfei already knows our background and ambitions, having him killed by Shen Bing will at least silence him.
"Brother, what if he succeeds?" Shangguan Longfei said.
“That’s unlikely.” Shangguan Chuxiong’s face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent. “If he succeeds, we should consider how to kill him! Lure him back to the Southern Continent, then kill him! If he can kill Shen Bing, it will surely be a mutually destructive fight. That will be the perfect opportunity for us to make our move!”
"Hahaha!" Shangguan Longfei laughed heartily. "In other words, no matter how things develop, it will be advantageous for us! We are the real beneficiaries!"
Gao Jianfei's home.
Gao Jianfei gathered his women and friends together.
Everyone was extremely surprised to learn that Zhuo Xiaowei and the others had been kidnapped today. However, they hadn't yet reached the point of panic. After all, they were all platinum-level ability users and had experienced the horrific catastrophe on Earth. Their resilience was extremely strong. Every move they made possessed power unimaginable to ordinary people. Tang Mao, Feilong, Chen Yaohui, and others were quite excited. Even Chen Xian and Qin Leshi weren't afraid.
"Jianfei, just tell us, what's the plan?" Chen Yaohui was very excited. "Originally, we wanted to keep a low profile, but the situation doesn't allow us to. Since our enemies have already come knocking on our door, we'll fight them to the bitter end! Haha!"
Feilong laughed and said, "Does everyone feel a sense of liberation from the shackles of morality, a desire to act freely? Hmm. Therefore, Jianfei, you come up with a plan. We'll just follow through."
Tang Bao added while picking his nose, "Murder and arson? Just one word from you and we'll all do it!"
All eyes turned to Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei smiled slightly.
"Alright, I understand what everyone means. It's great that no one is shy. We may be from out of town, but if anyone messes with us, we'll teach them a lesson!"
He paused for a moment. Gao Jianfei continued, “This is what happened. There’s a force that wants to use me to kill one of Long Qiuqiang’s two exorcists, Shen Bing. This Shen Bing controls five extremely wealthy countries on the Northern Continent. He’s a powerful figure. Of course, I also want to kill Shen Bing. On one hand, I’ve investigated him; he’s an extremely arrogant and lewd guy, doing bad things, a real cancer.”
Of course, I'm not being hypocritical; my real reason for killing him is for profit. Killing him will greatly help me upgrade the software. So, the first thing we need to do is kill Shen Bing! This will take some time, until the Shangguan Gang provides me with Shen Bing's whereabouts. We'll go together when we kill Shen Bing. On one hand, there are the 45 exorcists from Dragon Ball...
We all know each other, except for the Shangguan gang members who know I'm a hidden exorcist. Shen Bing doesn't know. Therefore, I can catch him off guard. You are powerful ability users and can help me. If you were only purple-level ability users, I wouldn't involve you this time. But you are platinum-level, which is terrifying. That is to say, to kill Shen Bing, we will work together and wipe him out! After killing Shen Bing, we will take over all the businesses under his control. Dragon Ball is a very chaotic place. Everything is based on strength, and the law of the jungle prevails. We killed Shen Bing, proving our strength. Therefore, no one will oppose us. If anyone opposes us, we can kill them directly and easily suppress the situation.
“Yes, places where strength reigns supreme can easily control the situation; it’s all about who has the bigger fist and who’s the most ruthless.” Tang Bao nodded in deep agreement.
"After killing Shen Bing, we'll consolidate our control over the territory she held, and then it'll be time to expand. We'll wipe out the Shangguan Gang. And eliminate the other level 7 exorcist." Gao Jianfei smiled slightly. "Since we've started, let's go all the way!"
"OK!"
Everyone agreed.
Song Ying covered her mouth and laughed, "Let's all just mess around! It doesn't matter if we make a mess of this planet, we can't live on an alien planet forever anyway."
"Alright, the plan... that's it. However, we need to wait for Shangguan to give us some news. In the meantime, let's not go out to look for work or anything like that. Let's focus on our cultivation. There's still a lot of orange ore in my Ghost Den, so everyone should cultivate diligently and strive to improve their abilities to the next level!" Gao Jianfei said.
It's important to understand that before acquiring ore, a purple-level ability user is considered high-level. With orange ore, a purple-level ability user can break through to platinum. However, platinum is still not a high-level ability.
In other words, with the Orange Ore, there is no limit to one's superpowers; they can be continuously improved.
However, the more orange ore is needed later on, the slower the progress becomes.
Of course, this also depends on... talent. It's not something you can just build entirely with orange ore.
The following days were spent in the uneventful Ghost Nest, absorbing orange ore to cultivate.
Gao Jianfei, on the other hand, did not cultivate.
He now has accumulated around 2400 exorcism points, but he won't use them for level 7 exorcisms; he'll save them up!
He wants a strong level 7 ghost!
That's a level 7 ghost worth 100 million exorcism points. A powerful being! Stronger than Xie Xiaofeng and Ding Peng combined.
He still needs 7600 more exorcism points. At Gao Jianfei's terrifying rate of recovering 300 exorcism points per day, to be precise, he only needs 22 more days before he can get this powerful level 7 ghost.
Gao Jianfei was very patient. He spent his days watering his pet birds, helping Chen Xian and Qin Leshi, and cooking for everyone. He was content and at ease.
Of course, at night, Gao Jianfei would also take turns having sex with his wives.
They're living a very comfortable life.
Ten days later, Gao Jianfei received a call from Shangguan Longfei.
"Alright, Brother Gao Jianfei, we've found the information you requested," Shangguan Longfei said over the phone. "It's very reliable intelligence. On the 12th of next month, Shen Bing will hold a press conference in the capital of Hengnuo Kingdom to summarize the financial situation of his various groups this year. In fact, this is a financial summary he's holding with his gangs. All those attending will be high-ranking executives from Shen Bing's group, as well as political figures from Hengnuo Kingdom and the other four countries of the Northern Continent. Shen Bing will definitely attend this press conference."
This can be guaranteed. However, security at the press conference venue is extremely tight.
