Chapter 2 - 2. A Tiger Lurking In Sheep's Skin

Chen Ling and Li Hua went straight to the second-floor restaurant, ordered a table full of delicious dishes, and feasted heartily.

However, what they didn't notice that a figure on wheelchair looking at him with a gloomy expression.

Then, he turned his wheelchair and slowly left...

A few minutes later, that man arrived at Director's office of this supply base.

"Director, the person who harmed me has came down. You must avenge me!"

In the wheelchair, Zhao Hong's face was incredibly distorted with rage at the thought of that figure he had just seen.

Although other party did not kill him, but made him permanently disabled.

Even a healing ability user Martial Artist couldn't cure him!

"Oh? Is that the little guy you mentioned, an early-stage Second level?"

The Director whose name was Zhao Yi, asked lightly.

"Let the Tiger Squad take action. I want to make him wish he were dead!"

Zhao Hong was already blinded by anger at this point. But his words surprised Zhao Yi, he frowned at his words.

This Zhao Hong was his distant relative, and he had become quite arrogant in recent years. But he did not care, as every month he give some profit to him.

Now, he was directly crippled by someone a month ago and now had almost no worth.

Sending the Tiger Squad for him seemed a bit wasteful.

After a moment of thought, Zhao Yi finally nodded:

"Alright, I'll lend you the Tiger Squad for this time, but from now on, we have no further connection."

After all Zhao Hong was his own person. You have to consider the owner when beating a dog.

If he didn't help this time, how would others help him with his affairs?

Of course, it was only limited to helping this one time.

"Don't worry, after this job, I'll leave Base city directly."

It would not take long before they came on their plan. But Chen Ling had no idea about such arrangements for him.

-

On the other side, Chen Ling and Li Hua having finished a hearty meal, called over the waiter to settle the bill.

The dishes at the supply base couldn't be called anything but expensive. Just over ten dishes cost him thirty thousand Great Xia coins.

However, these dishes were made from Ferocious Beast's meat.

Although Ferocious Beasts were thick-skinned and naturally brutal, one could say dishes made from their meat was actually quite good.

However, Chen Ling who was a third generation rich, didn't care about these details.

"We still have time, why don't we go to buy some battle suits for you."

After paying the bill, Chen Ling asked to her.

He remembered that last time when they went to jungle, her battle suit was damaged.

"Hmm there seems many options available here."

Because the wilderness area was nearby, many shops, hotels and related buildings were quickly built to support them.

Both of them leave the building and walk toward the outer streets.

-

Outside the supply base, Zhao Hong's bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the departing figure in the distance.

He instructed the several people beside him in a raspy voice.

"He is your target. Break his arms and legs, then bring him to me."

This was a group of five- three men and two women. All of them were powerful Second level martial artists.

They were the Tiger team, usually responsible for executing tasks issued by the supply base.

Of course, they would occasionally do some private work for managers they had a good relationship with.

Just like now.

"Understood."

The captain of the Tiger team was a man in his thirties with a fierce aura and a claw-shaped scar on his face.

The man nodded and led the remaining four to follow silently...

-

Upon arriving at the streets, they began to look for different types of battle suits. Some of them have solid rock hard guards upon joints, while some of them made from thin fibers.

These battle suits were made from different beast's skins, causing different effects in fight.

"Chen Ling, how is this? I like this one."

Li Hua pointed at a light cyan battle suit, which seems to have slight tightening effect and quite form-fitting.

"Not bad."

This suit was made from some kind of wind attribute beast material. Coupled with the fact that she herself possessed B-rank Swift Gale ability, this suit seems perfect upon her style.

"Hmm?"

Chen Ling suddenly paused his steps.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, why not buy this one. This was good one."

He resumed his pace.

However, while listening to her gossip, a blue-violet arc of lightning flickered slightly at his fingertips.

If anything went wrong, the terrifying Violet Heaven Divine Lightning would pour out...

"Get ready, the target is about to enter an alley."

About twenty meters behind them, the captain of the Tiger Team was hiding behind a building, had a serious expression.

At the same time, he instructed a woman in the team:

"He Ji, analyze the target's strength."

He Ji possessed a C-grade mental-type ability, and her perception was extremely powerful.

She had sensed the appearance of high-tier ferocious beasts several times in the wilderness area, allowing them to avoid them in advance.

Even though they were only dealing with a First rank martial artist this time, a lion must use its full strength even when hunting a rabbit.

To be safe, they had to analyze the target's strength before acting.

"Captain, it's not that I want to nag, but sometimes you're just too cautious. How much trouble can a First rank little guy cause?"

One of the team members joked.

However, at that moment, He Ji, who was using her mental-type ability, suddenly let out a low cry:

"What a fierce aura!"

"What's wrong? Is something not right?"

The captain frowned and asked quickly.

"See for yourselves."

He Ji gave a bitter smile and shared her perception with everyone in the team.

"This is..."

The Tiger Team captain was instantly stunned by the perception.

The world under He Ji's mental-type ability perception wasn't actually that different from the normal world.

But every living creature would emit its own light; this light could be weak or strong, representing different levels of strength.

And the light blooming from that tall figure ahead was terrifying, like a small sun!

Even that woman to his side, was slightly lower than him.

Among the surrounding people, who were only like faint glimmers, they two were so conspicuous.

And this light was dozens of times stronger than his, the captain of the Tiger team!

"This is a First rank? You must be fucking kidding me!"

The Tiger team's captain couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Such a powerhouse could wipe out their entire team with ease!

"The intelligence is wrong. Abandon the mission."

"Go back to the supply base immediately and settle the score with Zhao Hong!"

The Tiger team captain's face was terrifyingly grim.

If it weren't for his years of cautious habits making him extra careful, once they acted, the entire team would be waiting for someone to collect their corpses!

And as for the culprit, Zhao Hong, they naturally wouldn't let him off...

Crackling~~~

On the another side, Chen Ling who was ready to act, frowned slightly.

"What's going on? Why did he suddenly run away?"

Just now, he felt a slightest killing intent upon himself. 

That's why he deliberately chose a quiet road with few people, intending to lure them out and deal with them all at once.

However, to his surprise, they didn't make a move; instead, they seems fled away.

"Who could be this idiot? Dare to have killing intent upon me, is he tired of lived?"

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed and a devilish aura filled his eyes.

Although he was not bloodthirsty killer, he would not leave those who want to kill him.

"Never mind. After I'll go back, I have to tell someone to clean this dirt."

Unable to find any culprit, Chen Ling once again began to shopping with her...

-

Slap-

In the underground parking lot, with a crisp slap, Zhao Hong was sent flying.

"Wh-What's going on? Why are you hitting me?"

Getting up from the ground with some difficulty, Zhao Hong was stunned.

He had been waiting here for the Tiger squad to bring the person back so he could torture him properly.

He hadn't expected that the Tiger squad not only didn't bring the person back, but their captain also immediately slapped him.

"You still have the nerve to ask me? Your damn intelligence was flawed!

The target isn't a little kid, but a tiger lurking in sheep's skin."

The Tiger squad captain's face was grim, and the claw marks on his face looked even more ferocious.

The other four team members also stared at Zhao Hong with unfriendly expressions.

Although they usually helped in some dirty work, that didn't mean they were willing to risk their lives on a mission.

Especially when they knew the opponent possessed strength capable of crushing their entire squad.

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Hong's blood-stained face was filled with shock.

"Hmph, I don't care what's going on. This mission ends here. We'll talk to the Director ourselves."

The Tiger squad's captain snorted coldly.

Ignoring the completely distraught Zhao Hong, he directly led his team members and turned to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the Director's relative, it wouldn't have been just a simple slap just now...
