He had a meal with Xu Jia, but it wasn't a good memory for Chen Mu.
The two of them had a meal in the cafeteria of the building. Most of the people eating in the cafeteria were employees of the company. When the two of them entered, there were only a few employees sitting inside.
However, when they saw Chen Mu and Xu Jia, their gazes became a little strange.
One of them was an ace who had been in the limelight recently, while the other was the brightest beauty in the company. How could the two of them not attract attention when they sat there?
It was different from Tai-shu Zheng's banquet. At the banquet, although the two of them had attracted attention, the guests were more reserved.
However, the employees of the company would look in their direction from time to time.
Perhaps someone had spread the news, but more and more people came to the cafeteria. Before long, the hall with 80 tables was filled.
The strangest thing was that no one was talking loudly in the hall. They were only whispering to each other.
However, Chen Mu's ears were extraordinarily sharp. Although they had lowered their voices, he could still hear them clearly.
Listening to the employees excitedly discussing the gossip between him and Xu Jia, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat even though he was always calm.
Xu Jia, who had always been calm in front of Chen Mu, didn't expect such a situation to occur. She was also very uncomfortable.
The meal ended in such an awkward atmosphere. After the meal, the two of them could be described as fleeing.
Chen Mu walked all the way to the training ground. When he reached the door of Little Bu Mo's training room, his mood had completely returned to normal.
There was no longer any uneasiness in his cold eyes. Instead, there was calmness and ease.
Wei-ah was already waiting for Chen Mu inside. The two of them looked at each other and prepared to set off with tacit understanding.
"Blockhead …" Little Bu Mo's weak voice came out. Chen Mu turned around in surprise.
"Little Bu Mo, what's wrong?" Little Bu Mo's name was similar to his. He rarely took the initiative to speak.
"Can I go with you?"
Little Bu Mo asked hesitantly. He seemed to be a little embarrassed about his question, but he immediately raised his little fist to prove that he was capable enough. "Blockhead, I've been working very hard lately!
Even Wei-ah says I've made great progress! "
Chen Mu glanced at Wei-ah, who shook his head. "You're not strong enough."
Chen Mu could only shrug at Little Bu Mo. When he saw Little Bu Mo's dejected look, he comforted him, "Don't worry, Little Bu Mo. As long as you maintain your current rate of improvement, you'll be able to fight alongside us very soon!"
Little Bu Mo's face was still a little dejected, but he regained his fighting spirit. He raised his bald head and grunted, "Yes!
Blockhead, I will definitely work hard! "
Seeing the determined look on little Bu Mo's face, Chen Mu suddenly thought of himself from before.
He patted little Bu Mo's little head and didn't say anything.
As night fell, all kinds of fantasy card advertisements lit up one after another. The huge Dongrui City was decorated splendidly.
Wei-ah couldn't fly, so the two of them walked along the street.
Floating in the sky, the bottom of the Heart Garden emitted a faint cold light, making it look like a huge round moon.
The fortresses surrounding it flickered like stars.
The residents of Dongrui had long since gotten used to it. Seeing it for the first time, Chen Mu couldn't help but look up a few times to admire its majesty.
Under the cover of the night, the two of them shuttled between the buildings at high speed.
Wei-ah's speed was extremely fast. It was hard to imagine what kind of power his legs, which weren't strong at all, could contain. One step took him seven or eight meters away.
Chen Mu used all his strength to barely keep up.
With every step, Wei-ah seemed to suddenly disappear from his original spot and reappear seven or eight meters away at the same time.
Even though it wasn't his first time seeing it, Chen Mu still couldn't help but show some surprise.
This kind of speed was extremely frightening in battle.
Having often practiced with Wei-ah, Chen Mu had a deep understanding of that.
Moreover, he also knew that this was far from Wei-ah's fastest speed!
How fast could Wei-ah be?
Chen Mu had never seen it before.
The pedestrians who saw the two of them along the way all thought they were seeing things.
Some of the more powerful card artisans were shocked and hurriedly avoided it.
Living in that era, anyone with a little common sense knew what to do.
After flying for 20 minutes without a break, they finally reached their destination.
"There." Wei-ah only used one word and one gesture to perfectly explain what he wanted to express.
It was an unremarkable ordinary residence. It was a small three-story building with a garden that didn't exceed 500 square meters.
In Dongrui, as long as a resident had a good job, they could buy such a residence.
It was quite a distance from the Dongrui district. It was a satellite town of Dongrui called Hualin Town.
Chen Mu thought it was a little inconceivable that Wei-ah could track it down to that point.
All the residences there were exactly the same, which made him a little dizzy.
Hualin Town, No. 169, 11th Street.
Chen Mu firmly committed the house number to memory.
Chen Mu then took off the mask on his face and put it in his chest pocket.
If Chen Mu's hostility toward the Big Six was more out of self-preservation, then the enmity between him and Faya was even sharper and couldn't be mediated.
If there was a chance to weaken Faya's power, he certainly wouldn't hesitate to do it.
But that didn't mean he would lose his cool. Before he was stronger than his adversary, he wouldn't choose to meet force with force.
Qiao Yuan's face had already thoroughly offended Faya. Since that was the case, he might as well offend him to the end.
Seeing Chen Mu's behavior, Wei-ah also took off the mask on his face and put it in his chest pocket.
The two of them were like two ghosts as they flipped over the wall and entered.
The three-meter-high wall didn't pose any obstacle to them. Chen Mu didn't even use his perception to easily flip over and enter.
Just before he landed on the ground, his pupils constricted.
There were card appliance mechanisms!
He forcibly twisted his waist and narrowly avoided the position of the card appliance mechanisms.
Chen Mu, who had calmed down a little, couldn't help but suck in a cold breath when he looked up!
The courtyard wasn't that big, but it was densely packed with a large number of card appliance mechanisms!
An enemy sneaking in would trigger the mechanisms if they weren't careful.
The latest shallowly buried exploding card appliances, the wavy blade serial emitter known for its high rate of fire, and the trapping energy net that could easily tie up even a fist-sized object in a designated area …
Chen Mu was speechless. The card appliance mechanisms there were a lot more advanced than the ones they were using!
Since he had an ace in card appliance mechanisms like Hertha as his subordinate, Chen Mu knew a thing or two about that aspect.
But the card appliance mechanisms that had been set up in the courtyard seemed a little messy and rushed.
Not only were there problems with the placement, but they didn't even have basic camouflage.
If Hertha had been there, he would certainly have snorted at the card artisans who had set up those mechanisms.
But that gave Chen Mu and Wei-ah an opportunity to take advantage of. Otherwise, those card appliance mechanisms alone would have been enough to give them enough trouble.
Not only that, but within a few short seconds, there had already been three consecutive imperceptible perceptions that had swept over them.
Chen Mu was certain that if he used even a little bit of perception, he could be picked up by those perceptions.
Not only that, but if they triggered any of the card appliances, it would mean that they would expose themselves.
Bending over, Chen Mu quietly followed the gaps between the card appliance mechanisms and felt his way toward the house.
Wei-ah followed behind Chen Mu without making the slightest sound. Even Chen Mu, who was leading the way, felt a little strange.
Sneaking to the bottom of the wall, Chen Mu put his ear to the wall and listened carefully.
By then, his six senses were extraordinarily sharp. Although they were separated by a wall, he could still vaguely hear what was being said in the house.
"I'm so sleepy. Working overtime day and night like this, even an iron man can't take it!" a card artisan couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Another card artisan, who was a little older than the last time, comforted him. "We'll be fine after a few days. The support team will be here in a few days.
We'll certainly get a few days of vacation then.
The madam never mistreats us, and we'll certainly get a lot of overtime pay this time. "
"That's what you say, but if it weren't for the fact that the assassins were so useless, we wouldn't have been dragged into this!" The young card artisan was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"The assassins suffered such a big loss this time, and I'm afraid they won't have a good time in the future.
But who would have thought that the Tai-shu family would have such aces! "The older card artisan was a little worried.
The young card artisan snorted coldly. "Hmph, that bunch of shady guys. They don't have any humanity when they're cold. Their stinky faces look like they're carved from the same mold. They're indifferent to everyone. Serves them right!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The older card artisan was obviously very afraid of the assassins, and he hurriedly said, "All right, all right. It's none of our business, so let's not worry about it.
We just have to protect the madam, and let other people worry about the rest. "
Outside the house, Chen Mu was secretly digesting the information he had just heard.
Those assassin card artisans should have come from a department in Faya called the assassins, and Faya's support would arrive in a few days.
That information immediately made him determined that he had to find out what he wanted that night. Otherwise, when the support arrived, he wouldn't have half a chance.
Only then did he understand why the card appliance mechanisms in the yard were so unskillful.
"The madam doesn't seem to be in a good mood these days!
This is the first time I've seen her so angry! "the young card artisan said with some concern.
Chen Mu's ears immediately perked up.
"Yeah, I've been with the madam for so many years, and I've never seen her so angry!" The older card artisan also sighed lightly.
"It's all that damned Qiao Yuan's fault!
If I ever run into that guy, I'll definitely grind his bones to dust! "The young card artisan gritted his teeth.
"Hush, the madam is coming down." The older card artisan suddenly lowered his voice, and the two of them quickly shut up.
Chen Mu shivered when he heard that, and he gave Wei-ah a look. If he hadn't been so focused, he certainly wouldn't have heard that.
The madam had been in a bad mood lately, and the quality of her sleep had been very poor.
She couldn't sleep at night, and her sleep during the day was very light. She had just slept for half an hour, and she couldn't go back to sleep. So, she simply got up and took a walk.
Seeing the bronze-masked man standing guard at her door, her gaze softened a lot. "Don't keep watch here, Uncle. You have less time to rest than I do, and your body won't be able to take it if you go on like this."
"Ha ha, young lady, people like us have very little need for sleep." The bronze-masked man laughed.
"Uncle, father said Zhuo Qing has come out of seclusion.
He used to have few rivals among the young generation of card artisans, and he must be even more awesome now!
Father said he's going to send Zhuo Qing to the capital. "She was a little excited.
Only then did she reveal some of the temperament of a little girl.
The bronze-masked man looked at her dotingly and said, "He will be taking my place to protect you, and he'll have to experience a little more."
"Hee hee, you must be proud, Uncle!
He's your favorite disciple! "she said, giggling.
The bronze-masked man's voice was still as gentle as ever. "Zhuo Qing has outstanding talent, and what's rare is that he has a good temperament and an honest heart.
I can rest assured that he will take my place to protect you. "
The madam was a little unhappy, and she shouted a little rudely and coquettishly, "Are you going to leave me, Uncle?
No, no! "
Rubbing her head, the bronze-masked man's voice was full of vicissitudes and emotion. "Uncle will eventually grow old and die."
Seeming to realize the subject was a little sad, he quietly changed the subject. "Oh, right. Butchie should be here in a couple of days."
"Butchie?" The madam was a little surprised. "Is her injury better?"
"Ha ha, it's better. And her power has improved a lot since before." He suddenly felt a little emotional. "But it's a pity for that kid Hugo.
Among those kids, he's the one I'm more optimistic about.
Although his talent isn't good, he has a persevering temperament. If nothing unexpected happens, he will certainly be a late bloomer. "
The madam was silent for a while before saying, "He probably won't regret it.
If he hadn't sacrificed himself to block it, Butchie would have died at Qiao Yuan's hands. "She then smiled sweetly." Let's not talk about that, Uncle. Let's go for a walk.
It's my first time in Dongrui. "
"Mmmm." The bronze-masked man nodded.
The two of them went downstairs.
The card artisans who had been standing guard downstairs rushed to stand straight. In order to not attract attention, all the guards had been ordered not to go out.
The bronze-masked man suddenly tilted his head, his gaze cold!
"Hmph!
Come out! "
Before he finished speaking, his right hand lightly shook toward the wall on the left. The strong material was as fragile as paper, and a big hole was blasted out with a bang.
Light shone in through the hole, but there was nothing outside.
The card artisans hadn't reacted yet, staring at the big hole.
There was no one!
While everyone was surprised, there was a loud bang!
Two meters apart on both sides of the big hole exploded at the same time, and the debris of the wall shot toward everyone like raindrops!
The change was too sudden, so sudden that almost all the card artisans were caught off guard!
The scene was chaotic. The flying dust and flying debris shrouded the whole living room.
The bronze-masked man had already stood in front of the madam to protect her, and the energy cloak enveloped both of them at the same time.
In the chaos, two figures rushed toward the energy cloak like two black lightning bolts!
The bronze-masked man snorted coldly. "How dare you!"
Before he finished speaking, he only felt his vision blur, and one of them suddenly appeared in front of his energy cloak out of thin air!
The bronze-masked man's pupils suddenly contracted!
So fast!
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated!
Ping!
A crisp sound rang out, and the energy cloak directly collapsed into a cloud of broken light.
The scattered broken light was like a rain of flowers, blurred like an illusion.
However, at that moment, the bronze-masked man had no time to appreciate the beautiful scene.
With his arm around the madam, his heart suddenly sank. The opponent could shatter his energy cloak with just a fist …
Such strength …
