The skyscraper, hundreds of meters tall, had a pale blue glass exterior that appeared exceptionally clean and smooth.
Gao Xuan guessed it was an office building for some company because it lacked those flashy 3D virtual projections and dazzling lights.
In the flashy city of Mingjing City, this simple and unassuming building seemed so low-key.
Gao Xuan was not interested in whom the building belonged to; he just needed a starting point.
A black star wheel spun quickly at his brow, and Gao Xuan's figure suddenly accelerated, shooting straight up the building's glass wall.
At a speed of eighty meters per second, the building's vertical glass wall felt like a flat skating rink, allowing Gao Xuan to effortlessly streak across it.
With each step he took, Gao Xuan would leap upwards several meters. Within six seconds, he reached the rooftop of the more than four-hundred-meter-high building.
Standing on the rooftop, he glanced distantly towards the villa area, where the flames were still flickering. However, the fire trucks with red lights flashing had already arrived.
Gao Xuan opened his eyes, and the golden pupils in his eyes shone with a faint light, seeing Zhao Yong with a deeply thoughtful expression next to the flames.
Even though they were seven thousand three hundred meters apart, with many buildings obstructing his view, Gao Xuan could still use the Celestial Dragon Eye to observe Zhao Yong, seeing Zhao Yong's subtle expressions.
Zhao Yong was very sensitive to probing gazes; he looked around suspiciously but didn't notice anything unusual.
The onboard Light Computer also didn't detect any spying devices. Nevertheless, Zhao Yong felt something was amiss.
Gao Xuan smiled lightly; this ability to easily observe others felt great.
Seeing Zhao Yong's bewildered and shocked expression made him even happier.
The War Tiger Third Type Armor is formidable, but it definitely can't withstand the Godslaying Sword.
Even though the Godslaying Sword is currently only at the Black Iron Energy Level, its indestructible trait allows it to effortlessly cut through exoskeleton armor.
However, Gao Xuan still needed Zhao Yong to lead him to the Black Dragon Association headquarters.
The third Marvel he needed, the Celestial Demon Relic, also required the assistance of a master like Zhao Yong.
Ever since his rebirth, Gao Xuan felt a mountain weighing heavily on his heart.
Whether for self-preservation or for humanity, he must change fate, change the future.
For this, Gao Xuan had devised a comprehensive plan.
The Godslaying Sword, Celestial Dragon Eye, Seventh Sage, Celestial Demon Relic, Sword King title. This was the five-step plan he set for himself on Pegasus Star.
Obtaining the Godslaying Sword was in the realm of expectation, without any surprises.
The Celestial Dragon Eye was not so certain since he didn't know the specifics. He wasn't very confident in acquiring it. His trip to the White Dragon Mountains was primarily to meet the expedition team for networking.
Obtaining the Celestial Dragon Eye also secured him the contacts he wanted from Mingjing University. This step went smoothly as well.
As for the Seventh Sage's permissions, this proved somewhat problematic.
Why did Gao Xuan become a hitman? A key reason was the desire to earn Dark Web Points. Only with Dark Web Advanced Permissions could he enter Mo Sect's Hall to acquire the Seventh Sage title.
Still, this wouldn't be overly difficult in the end, just requiring time. This step wasn't particularly urgent.
What was truly critical was the Celestial Demon Relic.
Currently held by Luojia, the president of the Blood God Association Pegasus Branch, that fearsome woman used various methods to fracture the Alliance. Her rise marked a turning point from human prosperity to decline!
Despite being in his full prime, Gao Xuan stood no chance against her.
Since his rebirth, however, he now had the chance to eliminate Luojia in advance!
That woman was exceedingly cunning and formidable.
Gao Xuan knew clearly he only had one shot. If he missed the chance, Luojia would certainly escape without a trace.
Luojia would come to Celestial Capital in September, leaving him little time.
For now, the Black Dragon Association wasn't an enemy but a powerful ally.
As for the Sword King title, it required time; it was impossible to achieve it at one go. It doesn't need immediate consideration.
Thinking of all this, Gao Xuan felt so suppressed he almost couldn't breathe.
Even with rebirth, changing the fate of humanity's extinction proved extremely difficult.
He couldn't afford mistakes; every step had to be optimal and correct.
In the five-step plan, if anything went wrong in the first three steps, he could still remedy it.
But Luojia and the Celestial Demon Relic were crucial, no mistakes could be made!
One misstep, and it would be impossible to prevent humanity's demise.
Gao Xuan indulged in pleasures and enjoyed life but could not relieve the pressure on his heart.
Therefore, when Zhao Yunlong slightly provoked him, his killing intent erupted uncontrollably.
"Good ally, don't be discouraged, you're still strong and awesome!"
Gao Xuan silently boosted Zhao Yong, then leaped off the rooftop.
After rapidly descending hundreds of meters, he used the Formless Source Power to unfurl wings and soared against the current.
Ten minutes later, Gao Xuan had returned to his home's rooftop.
Yun Qingshang waiting by the pool, relaxed a little upon seeing Gao Xuan return.
"Are you alright?"
"Very well."
Gao Xuan gracefully brushed his bangs: "Unscathed, vanquished mighty foes."
This statement was somewhat exaggerated, but fortunately Yun Qingshang didn't question it seriously and turned to leave, reminding Gao Xuan, "Wei Zhenzhen is about to wake up."
"Mm."
Gao Xuan swiftly changed clothes, got everything in order, and went to embrace Wei Zhenzhen on the bed.
Wei Zhenzhen was unaware of this, smacked her lips, and continued sleeping.
A few minutes later, Wei Zhenzhen finally woke up. She saw Gao Xuan sleeping and couldn't resist pinching Gao Xuan's cheek.
This face was too handsome; how could she ever tire of loving it?
Playing for a while, seeing Gao Xuan remain unresponsive, Wei Zhenzhen said tenderly, "He's really worn out. Men are always hard-working..."
She then gazed at Gao Xuan's closed eyes, becoming intensely curious about what his eyes looked like beneath the lids.
Wei Zhenzhen bravely reached to pry open Gao Xuan's eyelids; before she could exert force, Gao Xuan stretched out his hand and already grasped her small hand.
"Young girl, don't be naughty."
Wei Zhenzhen shivered in fright, she quickly smiled apologetically, "I just wanted to see if you were pretending to sleep..."
"What do you want to do?"
Gao Xuan said with a chuckle, "Feeling itchy again, huh?"
Wei Zhenzhen's little face flushed red instantly, she hurriedly said, "I didn't, I didn't, uh..."
After several rounds of passionate moments, the two embraced each other.
Wei Zhenzhen felt incredibly satisfied, she had never been this happy in her life. She wished time could freeze at this moment forever.
But suddenly, her smartwatch buzzed, breaking the warmth and sweetness between them.
Wei Zhenzhen felt a bit annoyed, but seeing the communication was from her mother, she could only get up and go to the bathroom to answer the call.
On the light screen, Wei Yue was wearing a thin nightgown, fully showcasing her beautiful figure. But her expression was very serious.
Seeing her mom's expression, Wei Zhenzhen got a bit nervous, "What's wrong, Mom?"
"Are you with Gao Xuan?" Wei Yue asked.
"Uh-huh, yes."
Wei Zhenzhen's voice was a bit small, it was her first time staying over at a guy's house, and facing her mom's questioning, she felt very guilty.
"You are an adult now, choosing what kind of boyfriend is your freedom. I won't interfere too much. Choosing what lifestyle is also your freedom. You can try more things now."
Wei Yue said calmly, "What I want to ask is important, and you have to answer honestly."
Hearing her mom say this, Wei Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her mom doesn't interfere with her and Gao Xuan's matters, everything else can be talked about.
"Did you spend the whole night with Gao Xuan?" Wei Yue asked.
Wei Zhenzhen nodded slightly shyly.
Wei Yue frowned slightly, "Are you sure?"
"We've been together the whole time." Wei Zhenzhen was very sure of this.
"When you were asleep, was there any chance that Gao Xuan went out privately?"
Wei Yue didn't quite trust Wei Zhenzhen's judgment, her daughter is a bit naive and not hard to deceive.
Seeing Wei Yue so serious, Wei Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "I did sleep for a while. But I'm sure Gao Xuan was there. I would know if someone was missing."
Seeing Wei Yue's disbelief, she added urgently, "I woke up two hours ago, and we've been chatting since then."
She got even more flushed as she spoke; she and Gao Xuan were not just having simple conversations, there were plenty of romantic dialogues too...
Wei Yue understood, "Alright, I know."
She paused and couldn't help but remind, "You should take care of your personal hygiene and safety. Especially, don't take any medications randomly."
"Dear mom, I understand." Wei Zhenzhen felt embarrassed about the topic, quickly interrupted Wei Yue.
Wei Yue shook her head, "Rest well."
After closing the video call with her daughter, Wei Yue said to Sister Yun, "Check Zhenzhen's body data."
Having Wei Yue's authorization, Wu Caiyun opened Wei Zhenzhen's smartwatch data monitoring, she said, "Zhenzhen woke up at 12:03 AM and hasn't slept since then..."
The physiological monitoring data on the smartwatch indicated that during this time Wei Zhenzhen's body was in a state of excitement. Clearly not a sleep state.
"What time did Zhao Feng and his father have an incident?" Wei Yue asked.
Wu Caiyun examined the data and said, "The explosion was at 11:46 PM."
Wei Yue pondered and said, "Which means the death of Zhao Feng and his father has nothing to do with Gao Xuan."
"We still can't be sure about Zhao Feng and his father's situation."
Wu Caiyun cautiously said, "Everything is just Zhao Yong's narrative, there is no relevant evidence."
Wei Yue nodded, Wu Caiyun was indeed meticulous. But she felt confident that Zhao Feng and his father must be dead.
That's why Zhao Yong went berserk and used the plasma cannon in the Fourth Ring District.
But these are just details, no need to argue.
Wu Caiyun added, "Based on the explosion timing, if Gao Xuan really did it, he would need to return home in the Sixth Ring North Third District from Zhao Feng's home within seventeen minutes. The direct route is twenty-three kilometers. He must use a personal aircraft to accomplish it."
Wu Caiyun opened a virtual light screen for the introduction, "The enforcement team has already investigated all flying records within that time frame. No flying objects were found in Gao Xuan's surrounding area."
She added, "The security team accompanying Miss also reported no abnormalities."
"Which means Gao Xuan can be excluded from all suspicions." Wei Yue asked.
"Basically, he can be dismissed as a suspect. Of course, it's possible Gao Xuan has special abilities, like spatial teleportation?"
Wei Yue glanced at Wu Caiyun, this subordinate was indeed meticulous, leaving no gaps.
Spatial abilities are top-tier abilities. If Gao Xuan had such skills, there'd be no need to sneakily kill Zhao Feng.
Wu Caiyun asked, "Boss, should we keep investigating?"
Wei Yue shook her head slightly, "As long as it's not Gao Xuan, it's fine. Zhao Feng was disgusting, his death is a good thing. We don't need to interfere."
In recent years, Zhao Feng and his father had been using various underhanded methods from behind to try to seize her company. Behind Zhao Feng was Fang Zhenshan's support.
The two were also backed by the Black Dragon Association.
Wei Yue was well aware of this but dared not make a move due to the Black Dragon Association's formidable strength.
Now Zhao Feng and his father are dead, and Zhao Yong is in trouble too. Wei Yue was very happy.
It's best if the Black Dragon Association is uprooted and completely annihilated; that would be truly satisfying.
Wei Yue investigated Gao Xuan because the timing seemed a bit coincidental. In the daytime, Zhao Yunlong had a conflict with Gao Xuan, and an incident happened at night.
If Gao Xuan were the murderer of Zhao Feng and his father, the situation would be complicated. She would have to keep Wei Zhenzhen away from Gao Xuan. Of course, this possibility is extremely low.
Zhao Yong, in his War Tiger Armor, couldn't even manage to detain the opponent. The opponent might be a level 9 or even a tenth-level expert. Given Gao Xuan's age, it's impossible for him to have such abilities.
It was just out of caution that she conducted a routine investigation on Gao Xuan.
"With Zhao Feng dead, the situation is a bit delicate, bring Zhenzhen back tomorrow." Wei Yue instructed.
Usually, it's no problem for Wei Zhenzhen to go out and play, but for these few days, it's better to be cautious.
"Yes."
