The bald eagle said that this quest was quite interesting because there were basically no counter-killing quests that were targeted at them. This was an unwritten rule in the mercenary world.
If everyone went to kill him, wouldn't it be a mess? Unless the person who issued the quest went back on his word, or if the person who issued the quest was already infamous, everyone wanted to beat him up.
Ye Chen did not know whether the employer who issued the mission was a prodigy or not, but he recognized the photo. It contained information he had stolen from the abacus earlier. It was one of the mid-tier members of the Crimson Flame Headquarters, the Melting Butterfly.
The middle level sounded very LOW, but in NY City it was different. After all, this was the headquarters of Crimson Flame, and a small middle level had the authority to issue orders to people like Hua Lian. However, there were a lot of middle-level people in NY City, and the staff change was also huge.
"F * ck, this man is neither male nor female. If he hired someone to kill me, I would also have a counter-kill mission!" The big dog muttered in an unclean manner.
The photo on the screen showed that she was a man. However, she was still dressed up. She had green and yellow hair, red eyes, and a earring on her left ear. "Besides, the name alone can tell that the man is a said-bag man.
"Just cut him open." Ye Chen rubbed his hands together. On NY, he couldn't just run straight to the headquarters like he was dodging, and there wasn't an organization that could easily take on the scarlet flame. He could only rely on them to slowly nibble on it.
Fortunately, he could use the cover of the quest to prevent it from being revealed very quickly.
The abacus tapped a few times on the keyboard and Ye Chen and the others received photos of Hua Die on their phones.
"If this was a screen saver, then I would be scared to the point of not playing with my phone!" Little Fatso wiped the screen with all his might. After remembering the look of Hua Die, he started to focus on Ruoqing. Although this woman didn't have any expression, it was fortunate that she was pleasing to the eyes!
"But don't underestimate his skill." The bald eagle said, "I've heard this person's name before. Quite a few people died under his hands. It was because of his appearance that he didn't enter the upper echelons. Otherwise, he would have been able to become one of the upper echelons of the Crimson Flame Kingdom."
"I didn't expect that the boss of Crimson Flame's guild would look down on the mainstream!" The big dog laughed and said, "Let's see, the boss of Crimson Flame is also an old man!"
Even though Chi Yan's power was already so great, Ye Chen and the others still didn't have any information about him, which made them very depressed.
"Let's observe first. We'll make our move tonight." Although Ye Chen wouldn't get the reward if he couldn't get the mission, he still wanted to rely on his stability. Their advantage was already much greater than the other teammates.
The big dog thought it wasn't suitable for him to stay inside the house and observe, so he ran outside to buy equipment. Little Fatty felt that he didn't get any oil for breakfast, so he happily followed him out.
Only the three men, Ye Chen, and the silent Ruoqing were left in the room. Ruoqing had not eaten breakfast, so Ye Chen ordered some takeaway food and placed it in front of her.
"Eat." Ye Chen sat down beside Ruoqing and said, "Even if you are out of love, you can't stop eating."
Ruoqing blinked her eyes lightly, not saying a word.
"If you didn't eat, I would have kissed you!" Seeing that Ruoqing did not intend to move, Ye Chen walked towards her.
Ruoqing's face was extremely exquisite. If one looked at it closely, one would not be able to see any pores. She seemed to discover that Ye Chen was serious and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes. She then obediently picked up a piece of pizza and started to eat it.
Ye Chen nodded his head in satisfaction and reluctantly retracted his mouth. In his heart, he was hoping that Ruoqing would be stronger than her. That way, he would have a reason to be intimate with her.
"What will she do at night?" The bald eagle pouted at Ruoqing, waiting for them to complete their mission. If Ruoqing wanted to stay here by herself, she might take the opportunity to run away, and might encounter some danger. This place was not comparable to home.
"She ate the rest of the pizza in the evening." Ye Chen leaned back on the sofa and laid beside Ruoqing.
It seemed that no matter how amazing a person was, it would be difficult for them to answer this question. Although Ye Chen had never said it, they could all tell that Ye Chen thought this woman was pitiful and decided to keep her by his side.
After eating two pieces of pizza, Ruoqing took off her disposable gloves and put them aside. She looked at Ye Chen's sleeping face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Logically speaking, she should have hated him. If it hadn't been for him, Hua Shun wouldn't have died, and she wouldn't have entered into such a state. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was actually scared to death.
However, Ye Chen had said a lot to her that day and paid little attention to her, not even interfering with her freedom. On the contrary, it made her feel a little strange that he had followed them to a strange country, a strange city. Ruoqing told herself in her heart that she should leave, but she really disliked the outside world.
From her sixteenth birthday when she went out to play and was kidnapped by Hua Lian, six years had passed. Six years was enough time to turn a pure young girl into a strange woman with lost emotions. Today was her birthday.
But she also rejected Ye Chen. She definitely wouldn't be able to get used to following another man around for a short period of time. Ruoqing glanced to the side and saw that the bald eagle and Abacus were discussing something in low voices, and Ye Chen was deep in sleep.
If he were to kill Ye Chen now, wouldn't it all be over? After finishing his life, he would take revenge for Hua Shun. In the future, all these matters could be buried deep within his heart. Only then would he be considered a new student.
Ruoqing slowly reached her hand towards Ye Chen's sleeve. She knew that there was a dagger hidden there. It was something Ye Chen used to protect his life.
She nervously bit her lower lip, and just as her hand was about to touch Ye Chen's sleeve, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly opened. He was so shocked that Ruoqing abruptly fell backwards, falling onto the sofa, and was discovered!
