While the director was in a daze, Ren Xiaosu took out his cell phone and took a picture of the corpse on the ground.
However, Ren Xiaosu was keeping a very low profile these days. He would basically switch to a different cell phone after completing a mission. He would definitely not accept the same reward twice under the same identity.
After all, the cell phones he had snatched today were basically all B-rank and C-rank. It would already be very good if he could kill the Pyro Company's members. If he killed too many of them, it would easily arouse suspicion.
But what Ren Xiaosu did not know was that this gave the Anjing House a false impression. The person in charge of dispatching missions felt they still had a lot of people on the battlefield, and they were even doing a great job!
He said on the radio, "How's it going on your side? Have you finished killing the water ghosts yet?"
Vanilla loosened his tie. "Almost."
"Mhm, don't worry. Our hitmen on the battlefield are doing a great job. They still have a lot of people who have also killed a lot of the Pyro Company's members."
Vanilla heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. Have you seen the boss?"
"No, the boss has intercepted the Pyro Company's reinforcements in the wilderness by herself. She can't make it here right now," the dispatcher said.
Vanilla whistled. "Boss, you're awesome!"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu finished taking the pictures and was about to leave in search of his next target. However, someone caught up to him from behind. "Bro, can you leave me your contact information? My name is Mu Wange."
Ren Xiaosu turned around and saw the director. It would have been fine if the other party had not said anything, but the moment he spoke, Ren Xiaosu remembered he had forgotten something again. Instead of letting the other party thank him, he had to take out the film from the other party's camera equipment and destroy it.
After all, the film crew was very close to him just now. Who knew if they had caught him on camera?
Mu Wange was stunned. "My film …"
"Huh?" Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at him.
Mu Wange immediately stopped talking about the film. "Um, can I invite you to take part in my next movie?"
It was mainly because the image of Ren Xiaosu swinging the saber just now lingered in his mind. As the director was a visual artist, he found that scene too amazing.
But Ren Xiaosu glanced at him with a baffled expression before turning around to continue searching for his next target.
He was going to act in a movie? Wasn't that nonsense?
Furthermore, it was still unknown whether the director could get out of this place alive.
…
An injured A-rank assassin was fleeing, and a member of Dusk was hot on his heels.
The A-rank assassin could no longer hear the gunshots and battle cries coming from the chaotic battlefield. The rustling of the grass beneath his feet and his heavy panting were getting louder and louder. He felt that he had never been so exhausted before.
He really wanted to lie down on the grass and sleep without waking up. He didn't want to be involved in the current disputes and fame.
However, his pursuers were still closing in on him. He didn't want to die!
Just as the members of Dusk were about to catch up to him, he suddenly heard a wail behind him. The A-rank hitman looked back and saw a hooded young man cutting open the main artery in the enemy's neck in an instant. The Dusk member seemed to be powerless before this young man, and even his ceramic knife was easily cut in half.
He wanted to go over and thank him, but he saw another figure wearing a white mask rush out from the side and snatch the corpse of the Dusk team away.
The A-rank assassin was stunned. This was a robbery! Before he could say anything, the youth who saved him chased after the figure who snatched the reward.
From start to finish, the A-rank assassin's mind was in a daze. He did not even know who had saved him.
…
Another A-rank assassin was chasing after a lone member of Dusk. He had already been shot and could not run far. Just as he was about to get a spot in next year's selection, a hooded figure wearing a white mask suddenly rushed out from the side and knocked out the Dusk member he was chasing. Then, he turned around and ran away while carrying him!
The A-rank assassin was dumbfounded by the turn of events. He did not even realize what had happened even after the shadow had run far away.
"F * ck." The A-rank assassin was furious. It was not easy for him to find a lone prey, but it was snatched away just like that?
…
An A-rank assassin had just finished a battle with the corpse of a Dusk member lying in front of him. Just as he was about to take a photo and submit the mission, a figure wearing a white mask suddenly rushed out.
He raised his right hand and was about to shoot, but it turned out that the other party was not coming for him!
The white-masked figure quickly swept past him. The A-rank assassin fired two shots in a row, but the other party did not seem to be affected at all.
The A-rank assassin panicked a little. Why did he encounter a "monster" who was not afraid of bullets here!
However, just as he was about to retreat and use his superpower, the other party had already gone far away.
The A-rank assassin looked down and saw the corpse of the Dusk member he had just killed … had disappeared.
The A-rank assassin looked at the shadow clone's departing figure. "What the fuck …"
He could not understand why the other party, who was clearly so skilled and seemed to be invulnerable, would come over to snatch his prey instead of hunting for him!
Wasn't this too despicable?!
However, from the beginning to the end, Ren Xiaosu was the good guy while "Old Xu" took the blame.
In any case, Zheng Hongning, who knew he was friends with "Old Xu", was already on his way to the black market. Since Zheng Hongning and the others did not have any dealings with the Anjing House or the Pyro Company, Ren Xiaosu was not afraid of others finding out they were putting on an act.
So what if they found out? He had already snatched it from them anyway.
Similar incidents like this happened from time to time on the chaotic battlefield. Ren Xiaosu had wanted to continue killing a few more people, but the Zhou Clan's troops suddenly surrounded them.
The Pyro Company had caused quite a commotion when they blew up the East Lake Tunnel. However, the Zhou Clan seemed to be pretending to be asleep and did not care how many people had died here.
It wasn't until now, when it was almost impossible to distinguish friend from foe on the battlefield, that they finally arrived.
In the chaos of the battlefield, no one wanted to fight against the regular army. There were at least 4,500 people defending Stronghold 73, which was equivalent to a brigade's strength.
No matter how powerful a supernatural being was or how famous they were in the underworld, it was impossible for them to face a brigade head-on.
Moreover, everyone knew there was no laboratory data in the East Lake Tunnel, so what was there to stay here for?
The Pyro Company and the Anjing House were the first to retreat. Ren Xiaosu felt the Pyro Company should have had the upper hand in this entire incident.
Although the Pyro Company's casualties were much higher than the Anjing House's because of him, there would not be as many people who would come and join in the fray between the Anjing House and the Pyro Company from now on.
The Anjing House could no longer take advantage of the situation!
Ren Xiaosu also left the battlefield. However, he had a few doubts throughout the battle. First, he did not see the Knight Organization enter the battlefield at all. Second, he did not encounter his old acquaintance, Wang Congyang.
Could Wang Congyang have died in the tunnel?
That couldn't be. With Wang Congyang's wretched character, how could he have rashly entered the East Lake Tunnel?
Ren Xiaosu had a hunch that the battle in Stronghold 73 would break out again. After all, the Anjing House and the Pyro Company still had some strength to spare. However, this had nothing to do with him. He had already captured the Pyro Company members he wanted, so he would head back to complete the mission for Zhou Yingxue.
It was not that Ren Xiaosu did not want to stay, but that he could not stay any longer.
After all, he had robbed so many cell phones from the Anjing House and snatched the prey of many A-rank hitmen. He had also killed so many people from the Pyro Company. When the chaotic battle was over, the other party would realize how many things he had done.
At that time, it would not be surprising for the two organizations to join forces to hunt down "Old Xu."
The surface of East Lake had calmed down. A ray of moonlight shone on the surface of the lake, making it sparkle.
After the chaotic battle ended, no one seemed to care that hundreds of lives had been buried at the bottom of the lake overnight.
More people were actually wondering if there was a Pyro Company research lab in Stronghold 73.
…
Xu Xianchu, who was far away at Fortress 178, was pondering over his superpower. Next to him, Zhou Yinglong snapped, "Take your cauldron back. What's there to show off about?!"
But Zhou Yinglong realized Xu Xianchu was stunned. He quickly said, "I was just joking with you."
Xu Xianchu wondered, "Don't you think my cauldron just got a little bigger?!"
Zhou Yinglong thought Xu Xianchu was showing off again. "Get lost!"
