Chapter 808 - 806: Mr. Songmu
After finishing everything, Chen Tianlong stuck his head out to observe the surroundings. Seeing nothing suspicious, he quietly slipped out and shut the door.
At the other end of the ship, in a nine-story building, a party was taking place, full of lively atmosphere.
In the center of the hall, a few people sat on a semicircular leather sofa. Among them was someone Chen Tianlong recognized. That person was Lin Xiaoting, Red-eyed Eagle’s assistant from the Black Alliance.
Lin Xiaoting had received instructions from Red-eyed Eagle to fly directly here to meet with Mr. Songmu, the Sixth-in-Command. It was said that all the names had been recorded; once the list was delivered to the Black Alliance, they could eliminate targets one by one and control half of Huaxia.
"Songmu, I’ve heard you got the list, right?" Lin Xiaoting deliberately asked, not believing that the petty Mr. Songmu would hand over the results to her.
"Haha, of course. Every task the boss assigns me is completed perfectly, unlike some people who fail every time they go out, especially Xue Kong, losing such a good base as Earth Emperor..."
"Cough cough, Sixth-in-Command, can we not blame Xue Kong? It’s been explained that it was the carelessness of Earth Emperor’s insiders, allowing the police to infiltrate. It wasn’t his personal fault. Even if you were there, Earth Emperor would still be doomed."
Lin Xiaoting couldn’t bear his arrogance; Mr. Songmu had just completed a task and was showing off.
"Haha, you’re right, let’s not mention it then." Despite his words, Mr. Songmu’s arrogance was fully displayed, his face full of conceit.
"Songmu, I was wondering if I could take a look at that list to see who’s on it." Lin Xiaoting asked again.
"Come on, Lin, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. That information was hidden in South Sea City by my people for over three years before being collected. How could I give it to you? If I were to give it to anyone, it would be the boss, surely?" Mr. Songmu said unhurriedly, with a faint smile.
"Oh...."
Lin Xiaoting had anticipated Mr. Songmu’s answer, she was just asking on purpose.
"Come, let’s toast to the completion of this mission." Eager to change the subject, Mr. Songmu stood up quickly, holding his wine glass in a toast.
Lin Xiaoting had no choice but to stand up, as did a few other brothers with some authority in the Black Alliance, and they all drank in one go.
At that moment, explosive music sounded in the hall, signaling the start of the dance party.
Everyone began to gyrate, as if in a nightclub, and many sexy-dressed women began to dance wildly.
This privately chartered ship was rare, and they’d certainly indulge in a good time. Mr. Songmu was the kind of person to indulge like this. As the music played, he headed for the dance floor where a woman in an ultra-short, tight skirt approached him, with pronounced curves suggestive of a 34E bust.
As they reached each other, they embraced and began dancing.
It was more a prelude to what was to come. Out here, in the vast sea, which man wouldn’t want to let loose a little?
Lin Xiaoting frowned; she saw through the men of the Black Alliance. They were all lustful creatures who’d go for women at the slightest success.
Since President Red-eyed Eagle didn’t care, neither did she.
Soon, the dance floor was full of men and women, most women being waitstaff from the ship, though some were definitely professionals, understood by all present.
As everyone was engrossed in the fun, an unfamiliar figure slipped in, no longer in skintight black clothing but back to his previous attire.
Chen Tianlong realized that to make his move, he had to get up close; waiting around wouldn’t work in such a setting.
Although Chen Tianlong spotted his target, matching the photo given by Fang Yan, embracing a young, attractive woman on the dance floor, he knew this seasoned guy wouldn’t immediately take the woman away, but wait until much later.
There might be more than one.
To take out Mr. Songmu before the ship sailed out of South Sea City’s waters, Chen Tianlong needed to create his own opportunity.
After sneaking into the hall, he went straight to the drinks area, picked up a glass of red wine, and seated himself at a nearby table, his eyes fixed ahead.
After around five minutes, Chen Tianlong noticed Songmu moving to the side towards the restroom. Smiling with satisfaction, his opportunity finally came, and he stood up as if heading to the restroom.
Just then, Lin Xiaoting inadvertently glanced around and immediately recognized the young man’s back. Wasn’t this the one whom she thought about day and night? Unexpectedly appearing here, she couldn’t believe it.
Is it him? Can’t be, must be my imagination. He couldn’t be here.
Lin Xiaoting rubbed her eyes hard, but upon reopening them, she caught Chen Tianlong’s profile, and was shocked.
It was indeed Chen Tianlong.
"How... how could he be here?" Lin Xiaoting was astonished. This was a ship chartered by the Black Alliance, with mostly Black Alliance people onboard, apart from the crew. What was Chen Tianlong doing here?
Could it be.....
Realizing what could be happening, Lin Xiaoting was startled, her face pale. She well understood Songmu’s prowess. With Chen Tianlong’s then-current abilities, he would surely lose, and with so many Black Alliance experts on board, Chen Tianlong was courting death.
"No, I can’t let this happen." Lin Xiaoting gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed.
Chen Tianlong quickly followed Mr. Songmu, who, not expecting an assassin on a Black Alliance cruise, wasn’t particularly alert, made his way to the restroom leisurely.
Before long, Chen Tianlong stood outside the restroom, calming himself to prepare to enter.
At that moment, he sensed a wave of Powerful Qi aimed directly at him, though not very strong, clearly targeting him.
Lin Xiaoting, without much thought, grabbed Chen Tianlong’s shoulder, worried that if he rushed into the restroom, it would spell trouble.
The ship was equipped with numerous alarms; at the first sign of trouble, dozens of Black Alliance experts would converge. She doubted Chen Tianlong could handle them.
Even if those people didn’t show, facing Mr. Songmu, a one-star Profound Dao expert, was already daunting enough.
Feeling an attack, Chen Tianlong swiftly dodged and countered, inadvertently grabbing Lin Xiaoting’s chest and arm as she stepped forward.
Realizing he’d grabbed the wrong place, Chen Tianlong released his grip, not seeing clearly who it was.
