Chapter 648 - The Knockout Stage Begins (2/2)

Gu Yue smiled. “You don't know him like I do. The bigger the pressure on him, the stronger he will become. He has never once let pressure get him down.”

“But he used to be more enthusiastic and pa.s.sionate. I like the old captain better.”

Gu Yue nodded. Me too, she thought miserably.

“You should go have some dinner,” Tang Wulin said to his teammates after finis.h.i.+ng a.n.a.lyzing Yuanen Yehui's opponent with her. It was dark outside.

“What about you, Captain? You're not coming?” Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously as Tang Wulin picked up his coat.

“No. I have other matters to attend to first,” said Tang Wulin. Then he left without another word.

“He is skipping dinner!” Xu Xiaoyan whispered to Gu Yue. “That's so weird! I told you something must have happened to him. Is he all right?”

Gu Yue just watched Tang Wulin leave and made no reply.

Tang Wulin walked out of the hotel and hailed a soul taxi.

“Where to, mister?” the cabbie asked.

“The headquarters of the Tang Sect,” Tang Wulin answered.

“Sure thing.”

The taxi was running smoothly on the street. Darkness deepened. The street was full of lights. People who had been busy working all day could finally have a rest.

Tang Wulin cleared his mind as he looked out the window, savoring the brief feeling of having nothing to worry about.

The taxi was running slowly, because there were too many pedestrians and vehicles on the street. After they finally got out of the downtown area, its speed picked up. Tang Wulin put on his white mask and took out his white cloak.

After they arrived, Tang Wulin found the headquarters of the Tang Sect was also bustling with people. He got out of the taxi, threw on his cloak, pulled up his hood, and walked towards the gate.

Seeing him dressed like this, the people getting in and out of the Tang Sect couldn't help but look at him with envy and respect. One didn't need to be very familiar with the Tang Sect to know what such an ensemble meant – an agent of the Battle Hall, one of the three inner halls.

The Battle Hall was the very core of the Tang Sect and as important as the Holy Hall; almost all the members of the Holy Hall came from the Battle Hall.

Although Tang Wulin was just a white-cla.s.s agent, many members of the outer halls were gazing at him with undisguised envy.
