Chapter 944: Spades 8

As Chen Ling left, the room's door slowly closed.

Only then did Chi Tong manage to laugh, "No wonder you wanted to use that person's memories to replace Chen Ling's. By making Heart 6, who betrayed the Twilight Agency, filled with resentment toward them, and even having him kill a Twilight Agency member with his own hands... this way, he will be completely severed from the Twilight Agency."

Chi Tong paused for a moment, then asked,

"But I don't understand, there aren't any severely injured Twilight Agency members near the manufacturing plant... how are you going to make him kill someone?"

"There weren't any before, but there can be now." The King of Silver said indifferently, "The one in the dungeon should still have a breath left, right?"

"The dungeon... you mean the [Spades 8] we captured a few days ago?"

"Yes."

"As you ordered, we didn't kill him, and he's still locked in the dungeon... you want to release him and let Chen Ling kill him?" Chi Tong frowned slightly. "But this [Spades 8] isn't weak. What if he escapes, or worse, kills Chen Ling instead?"

"Just beat him until he has only one breath left, dump him near the manufacturing plant, and send someone to follow Chen Ling to ensure his safety..." The King of Silver's tone was extremely serious. "Remember, we only want the result of Chen Ling killing [Spades 8]; the process doesn't matter. Most importantly, Chen Ling must not be injured, and we must not provoke that 'World-Ender'."

"Understood." Chi Tong nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, I will arrange this properly!"

……

For the Wuji Domain, clear skies are a luxury. After enjoying yesterday's sunlight, the haze, as usual, gradually shrouded the sky of this domain.

A dull sound of a door being pushed open echoed. Chen Ling walked quickly into his room. He no longer had the leisure of yesterday; instead, he immediately began rummaging through the table... Sheets of blank paper were scattered on the floor. As a drawer was pulled open forcefully, a boning knife lay quietly inside.

Chen Ling's breathing was heavy. He slowly picked up the knife, its cold touch seemingly assimilating his gaze, which became gloomy and filled with struggle.

"Xiaoyu..."

Thick clouds drifted into the distance outside the window. Chen Ling's figure stood in the shadows like a sculpture.

"Xiaoyu... they've appeared again." Chen Ling muttered to himself, "For so many years, I've been looking for them... now, they've finally come, and they are right before my eyes..."

"I'm different now. I have power. No matter what happens this time, I will definitely avenge you..."

After a moment of internal struggle, Chen Ling shoved the boning knife into his clothes and pushed the door open forcefully!

Bang—!

The maids passing by the doorway were all startled by Chen Ling. They saw the hem of his bright red opera robe fluttering as he walked with a gust of wind, his aura murderous, and they were stunned on the spot...

Chen Ling walked quickly down the corridor. All the maids he passed, and even the Adjudicators and the Saint of Thieves, were surprised by Chen Ling's aura today. After secretly asking around, they realized what was happening.

They looked at Chen Ling's retreating back with complex expressions.

Chen Ling walked all the way to the entrance of the cathedral. This time, the doors did not imprison him; instead, they opened slowly to both sides on their own...

At the same time, Ying Fu, who was stepping onto the stairs to enter the cathedral, was taken aback.

"Chen Ling? Why are you..."

Seeing Chen Ling walking out of the cathedral in his opera robe, Ying Fu frowned, about to ask something, but Chen Ling opened his arms and hugged him tightly!

Ying Fu: ???

"Do you know... I've finally waited for this day." Chen Ling's voice was extremely low. "I've held onto the grudge for Xiaoyu's death for ten years. In these ten years, I've dreamed countless times of what he would look like grown up... He should have been an excellent lawyer, or a brilliant doctor, but everything he had was destroyed by the Twilight Agency...

You were right, Ying Fu, only by surviving can one have the chance and possibility for revenge... This time, I will take back from them everything they stole from Xiaoyu!!"

After saying this, Chen Ling walked down the stairs without looking back. A gentle breeze lifted his hair and the hem of his robe, leaving Ying Fu with nothing but a resolute back...

Ying Fu didn't know what had happened, but he watched his back, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

"Mr. Chen." Just as Chen Ling was about to walk away, a Fire-Tamper hurriedly stopped him, "It's too far from here to the District 9 manufacturing plant. Let me drive you there... In case the Twilight Agency thief escapes by the time we arrive, it will be too late."

Chen Ling thought for a moment and nodded:

"Okay!"

The bright red opera robe opened the car door, climbed into the passenger seat of a black sedan, and drove off amidst a roar of the engine.

Hearing their conversation, Ying Fu realized something. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at the open cathedral doors...

Behind the stained-glass window on the second floor of the cathedral,

The King of Silver, having witnessed the entire process, took a light sip of red wine. He watched Chen Ling's retreating figure, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

……

"How long will it take to get to the manufacturing plant?"

In the passenger seat of the car, Chen Ling gripped the boning knife inside his clothes tightly and spoke in a low voice.

"If we go at full speed, about half an hour." The Fire-Tamper driving replied, "What's wrong?"

Chen Ling's expression was grave... he hesitated to speak.

The Fire-Tamper glanced at Chen Ling's expression, finding it somewhat amusing, but still comforted him:

"If you're worried that we'll arrive too late and that Twilight Agency member will escape, there's no need... As far as I know, he is severely injured and shouldn't be able to run very far. He's right near the manufacturing plant."

Of course he can't run far; after all, when he appears there depends on when you arrive.

Chen Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Thank you... I didn't mean to rush you, I just... I just..."

Veins bulged on the hand Chen Ling used to grip the knife handle.

"I understand." The Fire-Tamper said leisurely, "The Twilight Agency, a bunch of lawless lunatics, they truly deserve to die."

Chen Ling nodded heavily, then turned to look at him, "...By the way, what is your name?"

"Me? My name is Xu Jia."

"Xu Jia... thank you for driving me. You're a good person." Chen Ling took a deep breath, "When we encounter that Twilight Agency member later, be careful. It's best if you hide behind me... They are too dangerous, don't take any risks."

"Hahahahahaha." Xu Jia laughed, "Don't worry, I'm stronger than you."

"I'm not joking with you. The cruelty and cunning of Twilight Agency members are beyond what you can imagine... You must not let your guard down."

"Alright, alright, I know."

The cathedral gradually faded into the distance in the rear window. The two drove from the city to the edge of the Wuji Domain, and soon, a factory shrouded in haze appeared at the end of the wasteland.
