Wang Hao nodded solemnly, though he was actually a bit surprised; he hadn't expected to be sent on a mission on his very first day.
He followed Virgo into a small room deep within the bar.
After Virgo's iris authentication, the room door slowly opened.
"Come in. You have ten minutes to organize your combat gear," Virgo said indifferently.
Wang Hao nodded and entered the small room.
On the left side of the room were rows of identical black tactical suits, while the right side was filled with a dazzling array of firearms and equipment.
The sheer volume made even the usually stoic Wang Hao's mouth twitch.
This was clearly a terrorist organization, and, did you guys build an armory or something?
Although martial artists existed in this world, firearms were still lethal to those below the Grandmaster level.
A Pre-celestial could dodge a pistol, and a Half-step Grandmaster could barely dodge a rifle.
As for those above Grandmaster, if they wished, firearms could not hit them.
However, no man could see this scene before him without feeling a thrill!
Wang Hao's eyes swept over rows of black firearms; the dark muzzles and the violently aesthetic gun bodies made him feel somewhat intoxicated for a moment.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch one.
"Ah~" A strange sound rang out, somewhat like a soft gasp?
Wang Hao turned his head and saw Virgo calmly stroking a gun body.
Uh, it couldn't have been Virgo, could it?
She didn't look like it.
"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to organize your combat gear?" Virgo's tone was slightly cold.
Wang Hao withdrew his gaze and continued to select firearms.
"Ah~~ M14, my Lord!"
Wang Hao's mouth twitched upon hearing that. It was her!
At this moment, his hand had also just landed on a fully modified M14 Designated Marksman Rifle.
In an instant, Wang Hao also inwardly exclaimed: "Ah~ M14, Miss, I shall dance with you!"
However, Wang Hao imperceptibly glanced at Virgo, and very subtly tapped a certain part of his body quickly...
Ten minutes later, both of them were fully armed, standing opposite each other with expressionless faces.
"Are you ready?" Virgo asked calmly.
Wang Hao saluted: "I'll be the vanguard!"
"Very good."
Virgo nodded. From the first moment she saw Wang Hao, she felt that this man seemed to have served in the military.
Next, the two walked out from the other side of the small room, and after passing through a dark passage, a black sports car with no license plates appeared before Wang Hao.
"Get in."
Wang Hao got into the passenger seat without a word, waiting for Virgo.
The sports car slowly started.
"Vroom—!"
The next second, it shot out like an arrow from a bow.
Wang Hao silently sensed the road conditions. This was an uphill road. Was this underground?
At this moment, a lively voice sounded in their earpieces: "Hello, hello~ Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you, Leo," Virgo replied.
Wang Hao's eyes flashed. This should be the Black Palace's third Star Lord—Leo.
But why did Leo sound like a loli?
"Alrighty~ I'll clear the way for you right away."
"Rumble, rumble."
A sound rang out, and the outside scenery gradually appeared before them.
The sports car followed the road, merging onto a highway, where vehicles gradually became more numerous.
"Ugh, why won't Capricorn let me go? It's so annoying! I also want to contribute to Lord!" Leo complained in the earpiece.
"It's not your turn to act yet..." Virgo rarely showed a slightly helpless expression.
Wang Hao noticed this detail. Could it be that... Leo had an unknown other side?
Coincidentally, Wang Hao's true zodiac sign was also Virgo.
"Alright, alright. I'll notify you as soon as Capricorn gives the order, and you can act immediately."
Virgo nodded: "Okay."
After saying this, the earpiece and the car fell silent.
After a long while, Leo spoke again.
"Oh, I'm so bored. Virgo, you're so boring! Hmph, I'm going to play games!"
"Static."
Clearly, Leo couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and had already slipped away.
For a time, only Wang Hao and Virgo remained in the car.
It was night again, and the highway was sparsely populated.
A strange silence was spreading within the car.
Wang Hao thought, should I start a conversation?
His father often told him to learn how to build good relationships and communicate more with people, as this would also benefit his breakthroughs.
So Wang Hao steeled himself and looked at Virgo with a serious expression: "Were you gasping in the armory just now?"
Virgo, who was driving, slowly looked at Wang Hao. There was no expression on her face, but Wang Hao inexplicably felt a bit scared.
"No, you misheard."
Wang Hao's eyes lit up. She replied to me!
This suddenly got him excited.
"Impossible. There was only you and me there. It was clearly a woman's voice," Wang Hao said logically.
Virgo's expression grew calmer, and her eyes became more terrifying: "I said no."
"Yes."
"No!"
"Absolutely yes!"
Virgo took a deep breath: "We are on a mission now. No irrelevant talk is allowed."
"Oh."
Wang Hao nodded and sat up straight, but his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Virgo also keenly noticed this.
A terrifying thought arose in her mind.
This guy, was he just trying to make conversation?
As this thought arose, she became increasingly convinced that Wang Hao had indeed been thinking that!
About an hour later, the sports car stopped in the underground parking garage of a large building.
The two, carrying D2 tactical backpacks, entered the elevator and went straight to the top floor.
Upon reaching the top floor, they began to take out firearms and equipment from their backpacks.
"Standing by," Virgo tapped her earpiece.
...
Meanwhile.
Wan Qingyun had finished dinner and returned to her study.
She had mostly dealt with today's documents and was currently reading some books to improve herself.
However, she didn't know why, but she felt as if the true qi in her body had increased slightly...
At this moment, Capricorn slowly appeared before Wan Qingyun. He placed his right hand over his heart and respectfully said, "Lord, I have something to report."
Wan Qingyun frowned slightly. If the Black Palace had something to report, it certainly wouldn't be a small matter.
"Speak."
Capricorn nodded slightly before speaking:
"Today, the young Miss, that is, Miss Wan Xiaoxiao, was kidnapped. The culprit was Su Luo, the young master of Su Corporation. He intended to..."
"In the end, Jiang Junyi rescued the young Miss."
"Creak, creak."
Wan Qingyun's slender hands clenched, making creaking sounds, and wisps of black energy spread around her:
"The Su Family... How dare they! No wonder she came back so late today... No wonder Xiao Xiao threw herself into my arms as soon as she got home..."
"I will definitely make you pay!"
At this moment, a terrifying aura condensed around Wan Qingyun, and those wisps of black energy seemed like hooks for souls.
Seeing this, Capricorn's eyes beneath his mask lit up: "Lord, the Black Palace is already on standby. As long as you give the order, they will pay the price tonight."
Wan Qingyun looked at Capricorn, killing intent surging: "Good, if that's the case, then act!"
Her younger sister was the person she valued most; no one was allowed to harm her!
She couldn't even imagine what would happen if Wan Xiaoxiao had truly suffered today; she would surely go mad.
...
On the other side, Virgo and Wang Hao were standing by, fully prepared.
"Static."
Both of them simultaneously placed their hands on their earpieces.
"Commence operation. Codename: Beheading."
