Chapter 818: We Are All on the Same Side
Yun Chujiu followed the people of the Yongxing Trading Company and swaggered into the back hall of the Yongxing Trading Company.
Although there were several guards guarding the back hall, they were fooled by Yun Chujiu and the people of the Fishbone Gang due to the disguises they wore.
Under the guidance of one of the guards, Yun Chujiu found the study room where the owner of the Yongxing Trading Company was.
Yun Chujiu knocked on the door politely and imitated Si Tuzhi’s voice, “Owner, your subordinate is back.”
“Come in! How’s the matter I sent you to take care of?” A low voice said.
Yun Chujiu pushed the door open and sauntered into the room. She saw an old man sitting behind the desk. He looked like a dog.
“Who are you? Why are you wearing our company attire?” The old man looked at Yun Chujiu suspiciously and then shouted.
Yun Chujiu took off her hat and said with a smile, “We were fated to meet each other! We are both working for powers beyond our own. Our meeting was inevitable”
The old man was stunned and then sneered, “I have no idea what you are talking about. You broke into my study. Now die!”
The old man was about to make his move when Yun Chujiu shouted, “The Red Spider Lilies! The Eye of Earth!”
The old man was stunned. He looked at Yun Chujiu suspiciously. “What do you mean? How do you know those names?!”
“Big Brother, you’re too cautious! Other than our own people, who else knows about this? To be honest, I had already obtained a sheepskin scroll map some time ago. Unfortunately, it wasn’t requested by the higher-ups. That was why I came to the endless sea. I didn’t expect to meet people from your Yongxing Trading Company also going after the same thing…
I did not know that we had the same goals. Only after killing Si Tuzhi and after seeing the jade token in his storage ring did I realize that I had made a mistake! Brother, it’s not my fault for not knowing. You won’t blame me, right?” Yun Chujiu sat on the chair beside her and crossed her legs as she said indifferently.
“What? You killed Si Tuzhi? Where is the thing that he found?” The old man clearly cared more about the objective than the fate of his subordinates.
“Big Brother, why are you in such a hurry? I won’t steal your limelight! We’re all on the same side, do you have to be so vigilant against one of your own?”
The old man took a deep breath. ‘This brat said that he has the same objective as me. Could it be that he’s working for the same forces that I am?’
“Big Brother, let’s not beat around the bush. I found a sheepskin scroll in a hidden cave, and I only found it because I was given a map from certain people with similar goals.
“This time, you were able to find the sheepskin scroll in the enchantment array at the bottom of the sea because the higher-ups in the shadows guided you, right? Tsk tsk, the higher-ups pay more attention to you than to me. They even taught you how to break the enchantment. At that time, I completely relied on the abilities of my companions to get past it,” said Yun Chujiu with a slightly mocking tone while she played with the jade token with the Red Spider Lily in her hand.
Hearing Yun Chujiu’s words, the old man lowered his guard a little. He said with some pride, “The Endless Sea is not as dangerous as the mainland. Understandably, the higher-ups take better care of me.”
“That’s true. I admire you for being the overlord of this region in w.a.n.ghai City! At the time, the person who gave me the map was a man wearing a black mask. Judging from his level, he didn’t seem to be someone very important. Could it be that the person who contacted you is much higher up the ladder?”
When the old man heard Yun Chujiu’s question, he became suspicious again. However, when he saw that Yun Chujiu was very calm, he paused and said, “I don’t really know the rank of the emissary. However, he was wearing a silver mask.”
