When the Anjing House decided to make a move on the Pyro Company's Sacred Mountains, the official members of the Anjing House had already set off to the designated black market to gather their hitmen.
Cheng Yu was more resistant to entering the Sacred Mountains to begin with. After all, that was a strategic location for the Pyro Company. Even if the Sacred Mountains were too large and their forces were scattered, there would definitely be a backup plan in there.
If he were to enter rashly in such a situation, he would probably be devoured completely.
But there were some things that could not be turned down just because he wanted to.
Now that Cheng Yu discovered there were actually rookies like C-rank hitmen in the group, his mood worsened.
Cheng Yu lifted the curtain and walked into the room. He looked around at the dozen or so people sitting inside. "Are you all here to join this operation?"
No one answered him. Yang Xiaojin leaned against the door frame and sized up these people one by one. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu was standing behind her and towering over her. "There's something fishy about these people."
Yang Xiaojin nodded. The two of them did not continue talking as this was not a suitable place to discuss more detailed speculations.
Actually, the two of them could tell the people in this room were not simple. There might even be a lot of experts from the consortiums mixed in with them.
Since Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin could think of following the Anjing House into the Sacred Mountains, the experts from the other consortiums would also be more willing to follow the main group to fish in troubled waters.
Therefore, no one here could be trusted. The only ones who could trust each other were Big Bluff, Yang Xiaojin, and Ren Xiaosu.
At this moment, another dozen or so people walked in from outside. Ren Xiaosu turned around and saw it was the person who had tried to blackmail them with the information. When the other party saw Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, she was a little embarrassed. However, Yang Xiaojin's lips curled up. How could she take her money so easily?
She even took back the dagger she had promised to give to Ren Xiaosu. This girl was not a generous person to begin with!
After everyone entered the house, Cheng Yu said to everyone, "We'll gather in an hour. I'll give all of you an hour to prepare your supplies. We estimate that we'll have to survive in the Sacred Mountains for at least 15 days, so don't say that you're not prepared when you're on the way. I won't be responsible for providing any logistical support. In a while, a guide will lead us to the periphery of the Holy Mountain. Once we enter the Holy Mountain, no matter what your purpose is, you must listen to my instructions. "
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he felt that Cheng Yu must have known that the identities of the team members were complicated. That was why he emphasized that he didn't care what everyone's motives were.
The people in the room responded to Cheng Yu's words sparsely. At this moment, Ren Xiaosu noticed three people. The first one was a middle-aged man who was sitting quietly in the corner. This man was sitting in the corner, and his posture was defensive against the others.
But what caught Ren Xiaosu's attention was that the other party did not even have calluses on his hands. This did not seem like a normal assassin and was likely a supernatural being.
The second person was a young man. His gaze was constantly scanning Cheng Yu and the others as though he was paying attention to where Cheng Yu and the others were carrying their weapons.
The third person was a young woman. Ren Xiaosu was just about to take a closer look at her when …
Gasp! Ren Xiaosu bared his teeth and looked at Yang Xiaojin. Meanwhile, Yang Xiaojin let go of Ren Xiaosu's hand and whispered, "Where are you looking?"
Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he heard Yang Xiaojin continue, "There's no need to look. That woman is a supernatural being."
Who knew how many supernatural beings were gathered in such a small house in the black market? It was obvious the Anjing House was planning to bring the experts from the various factions to the Sacred Mountains to disgust the Pyro Company.
It had to be said that Yang Anjing was also a ruthless person.
Other people would recruit experts to achieve their own goals, but Yang Anjing was managing the Anjing House so that all the factions would take the initiative to obtain her cell phone and help her carry out her missions. In the end, she would throw out some bait to lure those who were willing to take the bait.
Ren Xiaosu thought perhaps Yang Anjing had already planned out what would happen after he established the Anjing House.
After agreeing on a time to gather, Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojin, and the others went shopping in the black market. Other than selling intelligence, issuing assassination missions, laundering money, and opening casinos, they even sold firearms, ammunition, and amulets.
The people selling firearms and ammunition said that as long as they had enough money, they could even get their hands on armored vehicles. All of them seemed to have a lot of connections.
Meanwhile, the people selling amulets said they could calm their nerves, wash away their sins, and even avoid calamity if they wore them.
Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Will there even be a market for these things?"
Yang Xiaojin glanced at the stall and said, "The people here are all people who have done too many guilty deeds. Some of them might not even be able to sleep well at night. Not everyone can kill without batting an eyelid."
Next to her, Big Bluff said with a smile, "The girl that our Young Marshal likes is indeed knowledgeable. You're right. A lot of people in the black market are willing to buy these amulets. Regardless of whether they're paying an IQ tax, they're all doing it for the sake of their own peace of mind."
Yang Xiaojin looked at Big Bluff speechlessly. She kept getting the feeling that this guy was a sidekick that Ren Xiaosu had paid for and not the person in charge of intelligence and field operations at Fortress 178.
At this moment, the Great Hoodwinker smiled and said with a wrinkled face, "Miss, why don't I read your fortune for you? Future Commander should know that I, the Clairvoyant, can see both the past and the future when I travel the world."
Ren Xiaosu said with a dark expression, "Don't tell me you're talking about the Northwest again, right?"
"Haha." Big Bluff said awkwardly, "Did I get guessed?"
"Say, do you really know how to read fortunes?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
If Ren Xiaosu said he did not know how to read fortunes, he was also the one who told Wolf King Li Qingzheng that he would meet a benefactor in his life.
If Ren Xiaosu said he knew how to read fortunes, he was always talking about the Northwest. How was he the person in charge of intelligence and field operations? He was clearly the director of Fortress 178's Investment Promotion Department and the person in charge of talent recruitment.
Big Bluff sighed and said, "To be honest with you, Young Marshal, I actually didn't know how to read fortunes at the beginning. When I was younger, I hooked up with a woman. I was about to get intimate with her at her house when her husband came in. In order to explain, she told her husband that I was a fortune-teller. I casually read his fortune and told him that he would definitely be promoted within three days. I was just trying to get away, but I didn't expect that kid to get promoted the very next day. "
Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded. "Is your mouth blessed?"
Big Bluff sighed and said, "Later, her husband even introduced a lot of people to me for fortune-telling. Gradually, more and more people came to me for fortune-telling. Sometimes, when I dream about it in the middle of the night, I wonder if I really know anything about geomancy or geomancy …."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Big Bluff skeptically as though he was trying to determine if he was telling the truth.
However, it was already time to assemble. The three of them packed up the supplies they had just bought. Ren Xiaosu wanted to carry Yang Xiaojin's backpack with him, but Yang Xiaojin said she could do it herself.
This girl had never been pretentious before.
