Chapter 335 - Not Falling For Weiwei- Wei Wei Was Unworthy (2/2)
“It must be the blood of mythological beasts,” Whitey’s tone was chilly. “This Murong Hongtu is most likely the one who ma.s.sacred the mythological beasts back then in the Forest. Girl, if the culprit is truly that guy, then you have to be really careful. The tactics he used were both malicious and inhumane. I’m worried that you might not be able to handle this.”
Helian Wei Wei fanned herself with her paper fan, looking like a true gentleman right now. Her face remained carefree as she conversed with Whitey via their mental link, “Don’t worry, going undercover is one of the things that I’m very adept at doing.”
What Helian Wei Wei said was the truth. Other than firearms and weapons, her next best ability was her skill in espionage and subterfuge.
As she walked into the room, her lips curved naturally into a devious smirk.
The atmosphere of the room was just like what she imagined.
Clearly, Murong Hongtu was not here for the auction. His true intention was to gather these people in a secluded place without arousing the authorities’ suspicion.
It was a small gathering with about six or seven other people apart from Murong Hongtu himself. Both males and females were present, sitting on the sandalwood chairs arranged in the room. They were chatting with each other enthusiastically, their excitement evident on their face.
This gave Helian Wei Wei the feeling that she had just joined an evil cult.
Despite that, she replaced her expression with a lackadaisical smile as she looked around. “Oh, I wonder when will things get interesting? I can’t wait to start.”
The people in the room were originally hesitant when they noticed the unfamiliar young lord who had just stepped inside. After listening to what ‘he’ said, their eyes brightened and all of them turned around to look at Murong Hongtu.
Murong Hongtu was still staring at Helian Wei Wei. He was around 40 years old, and had abnormally pale skin. His eyes were especially frigid, which made people feel uncomfortable when they met his eyes.
Despite being under the intense scrutiny of such a chilling gaze, Heilian Wei Wei swayed her way callously to a chair and sat down. She then pulled out a mirror and admired her own reflection from several angles. “Ah, to think that I’d be even younger soon.”
Murong Hongtu suddenly burst into laughter. With a smirk, he a.s.sured, “Don’t worry, you will definitely become younger. In fact, not only would you regain your youth, all of us here would achieve immortality and outlive everyone else in this world. However, before that, you guys have to do a little something…” he paused and gave the servant beside him a signal.
The servant picked up a tray and presented it one by one to the audience.
Helian Wei Wei had no idea what it meant at first.
When she saw the first person, a silvery-haired old geezer, putting cash on to the tray, only did she realize that they were collecting money.
When the tray reached Helian Wei Wei, she slapped a stack of bills onto it without hesitation. There were about ten of them, and every bill was worth a million silver.
It was natural that this action would draw Murong Hongtu’s attention, who threw a few more glances in her direction.
Helian Wei Wei acted as if she did not notice his stares and mimicked the others’ facial expressions, putting on a facade of overwhelming greed and eagerness.
At this moment, Yun Biluo had finally finished her preparations and was walking gracefully toward their target’s location. On the way there, she tuned into the conversation between her accomplices when she heard them mention Helian Wei Wei’s name.
“Alright, we are the pillars of success for this mission! I’d like to see how she can hog all of the achievements for it this time. Anyway, how did you come up with this idea? It’s awesome!”
“Well, I didn’t really come up with it myself. Someone slipped me a note with this plan written on it, and I decided to go with it since it sounded legitimate.”
When the sound of their conversation faded from her ears, a faint smile appeared on Yun Biluo’s face. Of course it was an insincere and cunning smile, but no one would know that.
She did not do anything untoward, the only thing she did was propose a course of action. After all, there must be someone in the team to take the initiative.
Heh, you only have yourself to blame for having such an ugly appearance. Even though we’re both women, the only thing you can do is be a whistleblower instead of being the main driving force of the mission like I am. How pathetic and worthless…
