Chapter 171: The Beauty, Shang Xin
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The long distance passenger starship Luminosity entered the docking zone of planet Richie, and landed smoothly. Hatch 29 opened, and out came a large troop of well built men in black suits. Once they left the hatch, the men immediately secured strategic locations around the area. Their overbearing look drew more than a flew glances from the other passengers exiting through the other hatches.
There were already some people waiting outside, and they seemed to be very concerned of Robert’s safety. The area was crowded, and Ye Chong even noticed a few discreet guards in the shadows.
Duan brought Ye Chong along to meet the other party. Bai Linan had asked for Duan to take care of Ye Chong, and Duan decided that bringing Ye Chong along by his side was a better option.
The other party was here for a woman. The woman was around 25 years of age, her beautiful countenance was matched with a cold expression, and her chilling eyes looked as though they could see through anyone. She was tall and slender, her combat uniform wrapping fittingly around her hot and voluptuous body. This combination of fire and ice made one’s heart throb!
Duan and Ye Chong approached.
”Good day, I’m Duan, person in charge for Mr Robert’s safety!” Duan extended his right hand.
”Good day, I’m Shang Xin, person in charge for Mr Robert’s arrival here and his safety on Richie! Welcome to planet Richie! I hope that you will cooperate with us for this mission to ensure Mr Robert’s safety!” The voice was clear and soothing, but tinged with a condescending undercurrent that made one uncomfortable!
Duan’s expression changed a little. ”I believed Ms Shang must have misunderstood, Mr Robert’s safety is our responsibility!”
Shang Xin’s cool countenance turned slightly cynical. ”Oh, is Mr Duan not confident of our abilities? We’re familiar with the ins and outs of planet Richie, my subordinates are all elites, so Mr Duan, please rest assured, that incident with Robert a few days ago will never repeat itself!”
Duan’s expression immediately turned grim. Shang Xin was referring to the attempt on Robert's life last time. An assassin had managed to slip through the guards outside, but fortunately was discovered by their employer’s bodyguards. A tragedy was avoided! The incident was a humiliating one for Duan, and now that someone in the same profession had spoke of it right in his face, Duan was inevitably affected!
Shang Xin ignored Duan and activated her comms. ”All units in your position, report any abnormalities to me!” She gave no attention to Duan.
Duan activated his comms grimly. ”Everyone ready!”
Ye Chong observed the two with interest.
Duan’s subordinates quickly moved to their positions, but their choice of locations often overlapped with that of Shang Xin’s subordinates, and the bodyguards from both two sides could only stare at one another in contempt.
Some of them had already deployed their mechs and slipped into the pilot cabins, examining the surroundings carefully. Nearby tourists noticed their demonstrations and quickly scrambled away.
Ye Chong trailed behind Duan. These men may normally look like the average gangsters, but they now performed like professionals. Their choice of locations and the cooperation between them were of high standards.
However, after witnessing the Sanctuary’s astonishing cooperation and unmatched teamwork, this standard of performance was not enough to impress Ye Chong anymore! Besides, Ye Chong already noticed two openings, and could not help but begin to consider the ways he could avoid these men and reach his target.
Shang Xin’s fair countenance betrayed nothing, but she was secretly surprised to find that the other party was as capable as her own team in their profession. Could the assassin really be that good? She was beginning to feel curious about it.
Through it all, Shang Xin did not even acknowledge Ye Chong.
Ye Chong was actually Bai Linan’s bodyguard, and should be by Bai Linan’s side now. However, since Bai Linan was accompanying Robert at the moment, Ye Chong had followed Duan and disembarked from the Luminosity.
Soon, the security teams were in their positions, and did not observe any abnormalities. Duan immediately reported to Bai Linan.
It was only then that Robert emerged from the hatch.
Four bodyguards wearing miniature mechs surrounded Robert, and Bai Linan followed from behind.
Ye Chong noticed the four miniature mechs, and was startled!
The four miniature mechs did not stand out in particular, but what grabbed Ye Chong’s attention was the way these four men moved in their miniature mechs! Ye Chong could not see the pilots themselves, but he could make out their steps! These miniature mechs were not much taller than the average human height, so they looked more like four armored bodyguards!
