Chapter 552 Emergency Contact (2/2)

“So, this Tom Huggins can locate Mene?”

“Those so-called holy knights possess a special power. Using that power, they can find the exact position of the others. This is a very miraculous… … system-produced ability. Thus, it doesn’t matter where Mene and his gang choose to hide; Tom Huggins would be able to find them.”

“But if that is the case, why haven’t Mene find Tom Huggins and kill him?”

“Because… … the Guild Leader of Thorned Flower Guild had blocked off the special power on Tom Huggins’ body. Thus, Mene is unable to find his own younger brother whom he wishes to kill.”

There was a very solemn expression on Nicole’s face.

“Block? The Guild Leader of Thorned Flower Guild can actually block off the special power granted by the system?”

“Trust me, I have met a considerable number of experts, but the Guild Leader of Thorned Flower Guild is most certainly the most terrifying of them all! I have got quite the pair of balls on me, but I would rather face a group of [S] class experts than to face him,” said Tian Lie with a smirk.

Nicole considered the situation for a moment and said, “So, your objective is Mene?”

“And your objective is to get in touch with Zero City? The prodigal son wishes to find his mother?” Tian Lie broke into a smile.

“If so, do you want to cooperate?” Nicole glanced at Tian Lie.

Tian Lie considered it for a moment. “I am also feeling curious about this recent and strange situation with Zero City. So… … yes.”

“Good. I am also very interested in Mene’s gang. To be exact, I am very interested in the members of Thorned Flower Guild.”

The two of them exchanged glances. Next, they extended their hands and held each other’s palms.

“Here is to a happy cooperation. It seems we will be fighting side by side once again,” said Tian Lie with a smile.

Nicole nodded and said, “Well then… … let us go find my contact person first. The address is… Number XX, XX Street.”

Hearing the address, the smile on Tian Lie’s face suddenly…

Froze!

…

Jenny Miller.

Her public identity was that of a primary school mathematics teacher, presently 35 years old. She was married but had no children as of yet.

She had stayed in London for over two decades. She was without criminal records; her tax records and bank credit were all good.

Paper wise, she was the standard law-abiding citizen.

At the same time, her social status was also pretty decent. Other than her profession as a teacher, a respectable job, she was also passionate about charity. She would usually participate in some non-profit charitable works. She would contribute by working for those bodies – without asking for anything in return.

As for her husband, he could be considered something of a public figure.

He was a local radio host with a certain level of fame. He had an interesting style of hosting – naturally, some of the people who do not like him would say that his hosting style was not interesting, rather, it was party pooping.

Jenny and her husband had been married for over five years. However, as a woman who believed in girl power, she did not follow tradition and change her surname to that of her husband after marriage.

Surface wise, it would appear that Jenny Miller was a person with good personal credit and social status, an ordinary law-abiding citizen.

Secretly however, she held another identity.

One of Zero City’s emergency contact personnel based in the European region.

This secret identity of hers was not something that required much from her. As an emergency contact person, she practically had to do nothing most of the time – after all, it was not as though Zero City would always face disasters requiring the execution of their emergency plan.

Jenny had taken on the duty of an emergency contact person for a few years now. Her only job was to – from time to time – send a special password that meant ‘safe’ to Zero City using a special equipment.

Other than that, every other aspect about her life was no different to that of ordinary humans.

Most importantly, she would never be selected for instance dungeons.

This was not some special ability granted by Zero City. Rather, it was because…

Jenny Miller was not an Awakened.

She was an ordinary human.

An ordinary human that Zero City had secretly recruited.

There were only a few such people like her, ordinary humans residing in the outside world who work for Zero City. There were only twenty or so of them.

Naturally, Zero City possessed the means to ensure the loyalty of ordinary humans such as her.

Needless to say, these people would also obtain certain benefits for their service. For example, they would be provided with certain special enhancing agents, which would give them a body and life expectancy superior to that of ordinary humans.

And also a stable and abundant life.

As for betraying Zero City or revealing Zero City’s existence to the nations or powers that be in this world… … Jenny had never had such thoughts.

She knew all too well just how unbelievable those people she was dealing with were.

By the way… … her husband’s name was Tom Huggins.

An interesting… coincidence.
