Chapter 61 Thanks for the Gift! (1/2)
Feng Jun arrived late to the party with his team of fully-equipped field agents. When he saw the blood on Han Xiao's mask, his first reaction was to feel Han Xiao's chin for any wounds.
”Are you hurt?”
”Are you blind?” snapped Han Xiao, pointing to the graze on his cheek.
”That's good…” Feng Jun heaved a sigh of relief before looking at Han Xiao apologetically. They had failed in their duty to keep him safe.
”It's not your fault,” consoled Han Xiao.
”This man is the Germinal Organization's executor,” he explained, pointing toward Norsa's corpse. ”He's an assassin who has never failed.”
”Norsa Connor‽”
Norsa was widely feared even among the Six Nations. Once, he had gunned down a high-ranking Stardragon official in broad daylight despite tight security.
Upon confirming the identity of the corpse, Feng Jun's shock turned into amazement.
”Hold on, he came to assassinate you… but you killed him instead‽ Are you really that strong‽”
”You only realized that now?”
Han Xiao glared at him as he checked the interface for the quest reward.

Character Summoning Cards were quite uncommon in Galaxy. They only dropped from special quests, and their function was to allow the player to use the ability of the NPC character stated on the card. In Galaxy, people farmed and sold these for money, but it was only the rich players, who could afford to indiscriminately use them, who bought them. Although not Han Xiao's style, it was always better to have more tools at one's disposal.
Fortunately, Han Xiao had assigned all his stat points to INT beforehand, otherwise things would have played out very differently.
'Germinal Organization, thanks for the gift!'

'Yes.'
It was a 'use' item that could be stored within the interface, allowing Han Xiao to pull it out whenever he needed it.
Meanwhile, Frenzied Sword was still trying to comprehend the situation. When he used the examine function to learn that these mysterious men in black were aligned with the 'Stardragon Strategic Defense Initiative', he couldn't help but look toward Han Xiao in wonderment.
”You know this guy?” Feng Jun asked Han Xiao curiously as he pointed at Frenzied Sword.
”Just ignore him.”
As Han Xiao wiped the blood of his face with a handkerchief that Feng Jun passed to him, he frowned.
”If Norsa has found me, then it means the Germinal Organization must know exactly where I am.”
”Not necessarily,” replied Feng Jun. ”The intelligence department has the network locked down. Any mention of you is blocked from being transmitted out.”
Han Xiao's spirits immediately lifted.
”Are you sure?”
Feng Jun nodded.
