256 Month of Sea Beast Tide (2/2)

That was why the organizer was willing to give in to Qin Feng's exorbitant request.

As predicted by Xue Xingfu, they were indeed plotting something sinister back in Sea City.

”Those from the Dark Coalition have failed to bring down Qin Feng the last time. This time, we must exterminate him once and for all!”

”Yes, Deputy Mayor. Don't worry, our plan won't fail this time. We can guarantee that Qin Feng would not leave Sea City alive if he dares to set foot in our turf!”

The man on the main seat nodded satisfyingly. A sense of rage flashed past his eyes.

His name was Wang Zhichao, he was about thirty-five years old. He was E8-tier now and had the potential to attain D-tier in the future. He naturally became the deputy mayor after being Lei Chen's right-hand man for some years.

Wang Zhichao was the one that had employed Shademaster to make a scene at Fengli back then. He did not think that they would be so incompetent. Not only had they failed to assassinate Qin Feng but the loots had also been gained by Fengli. Indirectly, those goods helped to boost the black market's reputation further.

Initially, Wang Zhichao planned to claim back those treasures by killing the mercenaries once they had succeeded in the mission. Now, it seemed impossible to even locate where the stuff had been sold to.

”Qin Feng, I hope you bring something precious with you this time. Or else, your death alone would not be enough to compensate for my loss!” His ultimate aim was to get some shares in Fengli once Qin Feng was done for.

However, was Qin Feng really that easy to be killed?

***

Qin Feng met with Tan Yue again on the hover train. It was not uncommon to see him here since this was his job.

However, their previous rapport had completely disappeared this time around.

Qin Feng had become stronger and more popular, while Tan Yue was still only a train conductor.

That was not all. What happened in Pingyun had also alienated them further. Though Qin Feng had rescued them, Tan Yue and the others feared that Qin Feng might be possessed by the Wraith Devil and decided to cut ties with him.

From Tan Yue's perspective, he was angry that Qin Feng did not explain himself then.

To Qin Feng, he did not feel that it was necessary to clarify anything to an F-tier aptitude user.

”Alright. Your work is done here. Just go on ahead with your other duties,” Qin Feng said and dismissed his service.

Tan Yue subdued his urge to say something and merely nodded. He proceeded to leave Qin Feng's luxurious coach politely.

Bai Li watched their awkward exchange and did not understand what had happened.

”You guys quarreled?” Bai Li asked.

Qin Feng explained the previous incident to her. Then, he murmured, ”This is on me for not thinking it through. At first, it's not that big of a deal that I am a dark ability user. But it's better to keep this a secret after what has happened. Otherwise, Zhongcheng might distrust me while those in the dark might also use this against me.”

That was why Qin Feng had decided to distance himself from Tan Yue as well. He could not afford to let more information slip.

Qin Feng initially planned to poach people with caliber like Tan Yue from Zhongcheng to work for him. Unfortunately, he had to give up on that thought now.

Anyhow, that was not Qin Feng's but Tan Yue's loss.
