Chapter 541 - The dust settles (1/2)

As for whether there was truly any laboratory data at the site, Ren Xiaosu suddenly had a feeling there should be.

This was because he did not see any of the Riders since the chaotic battle broke out.

After all, finding the research laboratory had been the goal from the start for that group of people. But once the battle began, they went missing. This had to be because they had gone to search for the true location of the laboratory.

Moreover, Ren Xiaosu felt the Riders and the Pyro Company only shared the same goal but were not truly united in their cause. If there were no laboratory there, the Pyro Company would not have been able to convince the Riders to show up.

Therefore, it was probably also in the Pyro Company’s plan for the Riders to head straight for the laboratory while they plotted and fought to the death against the Anjing House.

A corpse of a Pyro Company member was in Ren Xiaosu’s storage space that he prepared for Zhou Yingxue to complete her mission. The two of them were discussing how to pose the body so it would look more natural.

But then, the Anjing House sent out a text, “Due to an unexpected person deliberately breaking the rules, the requirement of killing the Pyro Company members to qualify for next year’s trials has been rescinded. Qualification for the trials will still be determined by the completion of five A-rank missions within the year.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He had fucking spent so much effort to help Zhou Yingxue disqualify the other A-rank hitmen, but in the end, this text from the Anjing House had made his work all for nothing?!

Ren Xiaosu was a little angry. How could a large organization like that not have the most basic form of credibility!

When Zhou Yingxue saw the text, she looked up at Ren Xiaosu and asked, “Master, what exactly did you do in Stronghold 73?”

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yingxue realized the person in the text who broke the rules must have been her master and not anyone else!

Ren Xiaosu’s face darkened. “Is that the kind of person you see me as?”

“Yes, absolutely!” Zhou Yingxue said with certainty.

Ren Xiaosu was speechless.

This time, Ren Xiaosu had overplayed his hand. The Anjing House had more than 30 A-rank hitmen show up at Stronghold 73. Minus the 11 who died, there were still 26 of them remaining.

But of the 26, only two managed to qualify for the trials next year.

If there had been more than five hitmen who completed this mission, the Anjing House would probably not have gone back on their word. It was purely because of Ren Xiaosu’s meddling that they were forced to rescind their own rules, and that was not something the Anjing House wanted either!

When Ren Xiaosu came back to the hotel, it seemed he had been noticed by someone in the tour group. Not long after his return, Li Ran actually came over to look for Zhou Yingxue. She forced Zhou Yingxue to chat with her for two hours straight before leaving, which nearly drove Zhou Yingxue crazy!
