To travel by ship from Yokohama, an island nation, to the Green Island of Huaxia took at least thirty-six hours; they would arrive in Huaxia early the next morning.
Tickets were much cheaper than plane tickets. However, many wealthy people still chose to take a passenger ferry back home because this journey was their rare period of relaxation. Every day, looking up at the endless sea brought them great comfort.
Wang Zheng and Katie stood side by side on the top deck, facing the ocean wind that carried a faint salty smell, blowing their hair out of place and making their eyes water.
"Alright, to put it in your Huaxianese way, even if we are enemies, we are still 'gun buddies'." Katie recovered from her previous mood, looked up with a smile, and said something shocking.
“With you as my gun buddy, I’ll definitely die of kidney deficiency.” Wang Zheng recalled how Katie had crazily moved on him last night; he couldn't help but feel distracted, his lower abdomen gradually heating up.
"How about we pick a time to fight again" Wang Zheng said through gritted teeth, trying not to blow his nose.
"No can do, I’m in pain," Katie turned around and whispered into Wang Zheng’s ear: "Down there."
Hearing this, blood rushed from Wang Zheng's nostrils in the sea breeze.
At another dark cabin, seven muscular men were huddled together, carefully cleaning their guns.
"We’ve confirmed that the diamond 'Sky Heart' is on this ship and it’s with that German man called Lewandowski." A masked man said in a low voice: "The rendezvous vessel is still half a day away from us. Therefore, after we get what we need, we must hijack the ship and turn towards Marselis."
The other men remained silent.
"Business has been getting tougher lately," the masked man continued: "This mission is ranked fourteenth on the Silver List; for our team, it shouldn’t be too difficult. If we succeed in hijacking the ship, we’ll receive a minimum of eight million dollars as a first-level reward."
"Johnson, why don't we just steal the 'Sky Heart' and sell it on the black market That would get us at least ten times more than this eight million!"
“Hendry, have you lost your mind Have you forgotten who issued this silver list mission Do you think you can afford to provoke that person” Johnson said angrily.
The person named Hendry felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. The one who issued the bounty mission was someone that made them feel cold and shivered.
In the Western Dark World, there existed an institution completely independent of various powers called the Task Guild. This guild had the most perfect system and professional personnel, which would issue these bounty missions on the Gold List or Silver List according to the difficulty level, and also rank them in order.
Of course, those that were ranked first were the ones with higher difficulty levels.
At the time when the Eastern Evil King became famous, he had completed seven ultra-high-difficulty Gold List missions alone, thereby shocking the Western Dark World.
In the intricate and complex Western Dark World, the Task Guild was an extremely special entity. Even powerful entities like the Dark Military School or the Atlantic Alliance didn't think about swallowing up this guild. Moreover, those legendary big shots had great respect for it. Even when the guild issued some tasks that were unfavorable to them, these powers would not retaliate.
The Task Guild was also a significant feature of the West, somewhat like a neutral country, provoking no one and being provoked by none. Of course, the reasons behind this were unknown; in the eyes of those who roamed in darkness, it was a tradition—an unwritten rule that had been around for a long time.
Of course, the Task Guild would not intervene in any actions taken by these powers either. They acted like intermediaries, extracting huge commissions from the task bonuses.
The bounty mission issuers of the Gold and Silver Lists in the Western Dark World usually concealed their identities to avoid unnecessary harm or retaliation. However, the person issuing this order showed no intention of hiding his identity, and surprisingly, the Task Guild didn’t hide the life of this issuer but rather informed Johnson's squad.
"Exactly, Hendry, do you think you're the Eastern Evil King" Another person sneered: "You dumbass, don't lag us behind in a while!"
The Evil King that idiot, was only impressive for a short time. He probably died long ago!
Hendry curled his lip and said disdainfully.
"Enough of this chatter," Johnson said, "As the tasks become harder to complete, it's becoming increasingly difficult for us to earn money. Even if we receive what seems like a relatively easy Silver List No. 14 task, we can't afford any carelessness."
What’s so great about Silver List No. 14 Our squad once nearly completed Gold List No. 18!
Hendry said.
"Hendry, I really want to throw you out," another guy named Daclyn interjected: "Back then we were nine people, and in the end didn't we all get played around by that Evil King alone We watched him snatch our mission right from under us. Did you forget how he silently anesthetized everyone without a sound"
"I was too careless," Hendry thought of the back view at that time, feeling a chill rising inside but still said stubbornly.
Daclyn laughed coldly upon hearing this: "Too careless There's no room for carelessness in war! The Evil King didn't want to kill you then. But if he wanted to act, you would've been the first one dead! Without putting in any effort at all, got it"
"He didn't mean to kill me, but if I see him again, I will definitely kill him!" Hendry pulled back the bolt on his gun and looked fierce.
No one wanted to deal with this arrogant and clueless guy at this point.
However, Hendry was thinking about something else in his mind: "This Eastern Dark King must already be dead somewhere in this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been absent for so long. No one will call me out on my bluff."
"Alright." Johnson seemed to be the leader of their team and didn't seem too bad-tempered. Seeing Hendry's obtuseness, he said: "Our goal in completing this mission isn't that eight million dollars. If we do a good job with our mission, it might satisfy the person who issued it. As long as we connect with him or get his attention, things may become easier for us."
"Yes, that's right," Darklyn nodded and said: "Years have passed; some are dead while others have retired. Our Storm team is now down to just these seven people. Moreover, the difficulty of our missions keeps increasing, as well as competition from other teams. It’s time for us to find a patron. Otherwise, this can't go on."
"Have you all memorized Lwowof's profile" Johnson asked.
"Yes, we've got it down cold. Getting rid of the bodyguards is a piece of cake," Hendry said: "I’m already itching to get started."
Although Hendry had some mental issues, he was one of the top three in terms of combat skills within this strong Storm team and indeed had the right to be arrogant.
"As Poland's most famous young businessman, Lwowof probably has more than just a few bodyguards," Darklyn said: "Once we make our move, we can’t afford any mistakes."
"Right. We'll split into two teams. Kendgin and Ray will handle the crew’s weapons, while Aibit and Safin will take control of the cockpit to ensure that we turn towards Masori after our operation,"
After a brief pause, Johnson continued: "I, Darklyn, and Hendry will deal with Lwowof. Three people acting together should be fine."
"Of course, there won’t be any problems at all," Hendry said nonchalantly.
“May we introduce ourselves to you, madam”
Wang Zheng was lying on the deck with Katie, their eyes half-closed as they enjoyed the breeze from the sea. At this moment, a deep male voice came from behind them in perfect English.
Wang Zheng turned around and saw a handsome man in a suit with a bow tie standing before him, his face glowing with a dazzling smile as he elegantly looked at Katie.
This man had a face that would make girls scream when they see it—his prominent nose, deep blue eyes, and tall, well-proportioned figure were enough to beat any male model in the world. His shoulder-length blonde hair was particularly eye-catching.
The man wore custom-made Armani suits and sported a limited-edition Rolex fashion watch; even his simple white shirt was hand-sewn by an old tailor shop in Germany called Morgan, making it quite expensive.
At this moment, Comrade Eastern Devil King Wang Zheng suddenly felt a sense of vigilance.
Yes, whenever Wang Zheng faced men who were more handsome and richer than him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of alertness. Of course, whether or not this feeling was due to jealousy could never be verified.
Katie wanted to respond, but Wang Zheng spoke first: "Not allowed."
"Oh Why" This man, despite being rudely interrupted by Wang Zheng, remained calm and composed. His face still held that warm smile, displaying his gentlemanly demeanor.
"Yeah, why not" Katie looked at Wang Zheng with a mix of amusement and confusion: "What are you to me"
"I'm your casual partner," Wang Zheng was about to blurt out before quickly correcting himself: "Women shouldn't casually interact with strange men outside; it's too dangerous, don't you know that"
"Oh, I see." Katie appeared to have understood and then turned back to the man, continuing: "I'm Katie, American. And you"
"My name is Lewando, from Poland," the man elegantly took Katie's hand and gently kissed it: "Beautiful lady."
Katie turned to Wang Zheng with a smile: "See Now we're not strangers anymore."
