Snake Skin watched through the camera.
He grinned hideously as if he could foresee Wu Ming's head being separated from his body. He picked up a cup of coffee and took a big gulp.
When he lowered his head again, the screen went black.
"Is the battery dead?"
Snake Skin scratched his head. He picked up his phone and fiddled with it. The phone still had battery. It seemed that the camera was broken.
"Blade Mantis, come back!"
Snake Skin ordered the Blade Mantis that was still alive through the pet contract.
However, he did not know that on the deserted street, an invisible cat was holding a dying dark green praying mantis in its mouth. It was slowly approaching with elegant steps.
Snake Skin paid the bill and left the coffee shop. He went to a forest, ready to meet up with the Blade Mantis and leave.
"Hey, it's here."
Snake Skin saw the Blade Mantis.
However, the Blade Mantis didn't walk over. Instead, it floated in the air and floated toward Snake Skin. It was strange.
"What's going on?"
Snake Skin rubbed his eyes.
Then, he saw the Blade Mantis fall to the ground. It twitched a few times and then stopped breathing.
"It's dead?"
Snake Skin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Puff!
The next moment, Snake Skin covered his neck. His eyes were wide open as he knelt on the ground. He wanted to say something but no words came out.
Bang!
He fell to the ground, dead.
Ten minutes later.
In the bedroom on the second floor of the pet store.
Wu Ming sat on the sofa, drinking a cup of coffee.
"Transforming an experienced Rank F Blade Mantis gave me 11 evolution points. Not bad."
"But, why do people keep trying to assassinate me recently?"
"Logically speaking, Zhou Nana is already dead. Could it be that the assassin organization still won't let me off?"
"Are they still trying to kill me?"
Wu Ming frowned.
"Meow!"
The Ghost Cat came back.
It sat on the bedside table, elegantly licking its paws and combing its fur. It was always so calm, like the coldest killer in the world.
The next morning.
Wu Ming turned on the television.
"Here's a piece of morning news for you. A registered F-rank beastmaster was seen dead in the forest near Nanwen Street in the early hours of the morning. Initial estimates are that he was killed by a terrifying ferocious beast. Citizens, please take care of yourselves and don't leave your homes alone after ten at night …"
Wu Ming put down the remote control.
The assassin was discovered.
Wu Ming was not worried.
Paper couldn't wrap fire, and this matter couldn't be kept a secret. However, with the Ghost Cat's invisibility, no one would be able to find out who did it.
Besides, Wu Ming was also defending himself.
No matter what, he wasn't wrong. It was just that he didn't want too many people to know about this. Otherwise, it would easily attract unnecessary trouble.
"Next is the second piece of the morning news."
"Yesterday morning, the famous entrepreneur, Ms. Zhou Nana, was bitten by a Direbeast, the Rainbow Deadly Snake, during a private party. Unfortunately, she died. Please try to choose a place with more people and safety when you hold your parties."
"Regarding the selection of the future successor of the Zhou's Group, it will become a matter of concern …"
This was news about Zhou Nana.
Seeing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Nana was dead …
This woman had hired assassins to kill him several times. Now, she had met her end. She deserved it.
Wu Ming didn't have any sympathy for her.
Knock, knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Wu Ming looked over and saw Jang Ok-yeon pushing open the glass door.
Looking at Wu Ming who was lying on the couch, Jang Ok-yeon asked angrily, "Wu Ming, where did you go yesterday?"
"Pet shop staff having a picnic," Wu Ming answered.
"Oh?"
Jang Ok-yeon opened her eyes wide in surprise. "No way. Your pet shop has only a few people. How can you organize this kind of activity?"
After a moment of silence, Jang Ok-yeon put her hands on her waist and said, "Okay!
You didn't invite me when you organized a picnic. Are you afraid that I'll bankrupt your pet shop? "
"Okay, okay, I'll invite you next time … but you have to pay." Wu Ming found this woman annoying.
But Jang Ok-yeon was too rich.
She was such a big customer. She might have a temper, but he could tolerate it.
"Right, do you know of any powerful assassin organizations near Garan Castle?" Wu Ming asked all of a sudden.
Jang Ok-yeon raised her eyebrows. "What? You want to hire assassins to kill me?"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes. He really wanted to crack open Jang Ok-yeon's little head and see what was inside.
He said, "Just tell me if there are any!"
Jang Ok-yeon sat down next to Wu Ming and checked on her phone. She said, "There really is an underground assassin organization. It's quite mysterious. It's said that they have several bases, but only one of them is real."
"By the way, why are you asking this?" Jang Ok-yeon was curious.
"Just asking," Wu Ming yawned. "I'll hire assassins to kill you one day when I get too annoyed with you."
"Pfft!" Jang Ok-yeon laughed.
She seriously looked at Wu Ming and determined that he was only joking. Moreover, since Shui Ling obtained her F Grade Defense and F Grade Healing Innate Talent, her perception of danger had become even more acute. Ordinary assassins really wouldn't be able to hurt her.
"Brother Wu, good morning!
Miss Zhang is here too! "Wan Siyu put the breakfast on the table for Wu Ming and started to get busy.
Not long after.
Huang Sanba and Zuma Mei arrived as well.
Business went on as usual for the day.
Jang Ok-yeon stayed at the pet store. She said that the medicine store she had opened was about to open and she was ready to start business.
Wu Ming was looking forward to it.
The medicine store was nearby. It would be more convenient for him to buy raw materials for evolution food.
Knock, knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door again.
It was Mu Wanyan.
The moment she walked in, Mu Wanyan saw Jang Ok-yeon. The two didn't know each other, but when they looked into each other's eyes, there was a strange feeling.
Jang Ok-yeon raised her eyebrows and nudged Wu Ming who was sitting next to her. "Who is this?"
"Mu Wanyan, my customer." Wu Ming stood up, took out two wooden boxes from the counter, opened them, and put them on the table.
"The one on the left is a Class F defensive food and the one on the right is a Class F self-healing food. The total is three hundred thousand. Since you are the first customer of the pet store, I will charge you 288,888 today!"
Wu Ming pointed at the two wooden boxes and introduced them.
Hearing that she got a discount, Mu Wanyan jumped up happily. She reached out to hold Wu Ming's hand and thanked him.
Zhang Yuyan curled her lips at the sight of this.
"Pay by card!" Wu Ming handed the two wooden boxes to Mu Wanyan.
"Okay."
Mu Wanyan took out her bank card at once and paid on the spot. Then, she opened the two wooden boxes and handed them to the Little White Fox.
The Little White Fox sniffed and felt comfortable.
First, the Little White Fox ate the defensive food and its fur became brighter.
Then, the Little White Fox ate the self-healing food and its body grew bigger. Its eyes sparkled like gems.
