Free Web NovelLu Yun Shen chuckled softly.
“Junior, you can't force these things. The only reason you made it into the top three is because Mingxi put in a lot of effort. If she hadn't arranged tactics for you in your battle with Tepura, do you think your rough and careless nature would have allowed you to defeat him?”
“So even if Gui Ye lost, you have no reason to complain.”
Jia Xiaoxiao glared fiercely at the mocking man.
“Shut your stinking mouth!”
Mingxi sighed helplessly, seeing that the two of them were about to start again.
She wondered what kind of feud or grudge these two had. They had been cooperating more and more tacitly in the team competition, but they still argued.
If it weren't for the clear fact that there was no romantic tension between them, she would have suspected that their fighting was a form of affection.
She patted Jia Xiaoxiao’s shoulder: “Sister Xiaoxiao, Gui Ye isn't the kind of person who is irresponsible about his matches, so you just need to focus on playing your own match well.”
Jia Xiaoxiao looked suspicious: “Really? Didn't he concede in your team match yesterday?”
“I say, Junior, is there something wrong with your brain? In that situation yesterday, if he didn't concede, could he have possibly turned the tide?”
It was Liu Bai who complained.
Yue Zhiguang also teased: “Junior is probably too nervous.”
Jia Xiaoxiao: “...”
“You guys have had enough!”
“Hahaha, we've not only had enough, we've had more than enough.”
...
“Xiao Zaizi.”
Not long after the day's matches ended, Mingxi received a call from Chu Kuangsheng.
“The general situation regarding Shan Po and Zhou Yaqi has been investigated. Most of the people sent to cause you trouble are members of the Descent Organization developed in Tanzania, and some are foreigners who entered Tanzan as tourists.
As for Zhou Yaqi, he came to Tanzania under the guise of an exchange.
The pharmacist who invited him was also among that group of people that day.”
Chu Kuangsheng’s voice suddenly became unusually serious and cold, “Xiao Zaizi, I also have some bad news to tell you.”
Mingxi’s heart skipped a beat.
Having known Chu Kuangsheng for so long, this was the first time she had heard him speak in such a chilling and frightening voice.
“Tell me.”
Chu Kuangsheng sighed and said:
“Your name has appeared on the Interstellar Dark Web’s Death Bounty List, with a bounty of 3.3 billion star coins! This bounty amount is currently ranked ninth on the list. Oh, by the way, you know what the Interstellar Dark Web is, right?”
Mingxi: “...”
Although she was unknowledgeable, she did know about the Interstellar Dark Web.
It was just the dark world corresponding to the legitimate online world.
She took a deep breath and asked: “Is it the Descent Organization’s doing?”
“Evidently.”
“I understand.”
Hearing her calm tone, Chu Kuangsheng’s tone relaxed slightly, and he asked: “Aren't you afraid?”
“What good would fear do?”
The Death Bounty List was one of the most watched lists on the Interstellar Dark Web, because every name on it represented immense wealth.
As long as one had the ability to kill the person or pet on the list, they would no longer need to worry about their livelihood.
3.3 billion star coins.
That was quite a lot of face for her.
After all, the top ten on the Death List were basically SS-Class (including SS-Class) Beast Tamers and above, and she, a mere B-Class, was like a little sparrow crashing into a group of bigshots, how out of place.
“Indeed, it’s useless.”
Chu Kuangsheng greatly admired Mingxi’s calmness and composure, “From now on, you’ll have to be mentally prepared to face assassination at any time, but you’ll still be safe during the Blue Sun Cup.”
Mingxi was puzzled, “Why am I safe during the Blue Sun Cup?”
“Don’t you know? Nolan Lin, the main person in charge of the Blue Sun Cup Organizing Committee, is an SSS-level Beast Master, one of the combat power ceilings of humanity on Blue Star. Who do you think could kill you right under his nose?”
Mingxi was dumbfounded.
That fawning, obsequious, and slightly sleazy person in charge was an SSS-level Beast Master?
He didn't look like a bigshot at all!
Had they gotten the wrong person?
Mingxi, refusing to believe, described the appearance of the person in charge, and Chu Kuangsheng affirmed it with a smile.
Mingxi: “...”
Alright, alright, alright.
This was truly a case of a hidden master.
Couldn't you, a dignified SSS-level Beast Master, exude a bit of a bigshot aura? Even if you're low-key, shouldn't matters involving negotiations with contestants be handed over to subordinates?
Doing everything yourself will only harm others, bigshot!
“...I think I offended him. He wouldn't intentionally send assassins to kill me, would he?”
Recalling her previous interactions with that gentleman, they probably weren't pleasant experiences from his perspective, right?
Chu Kuangsheng smiled: “Don’t worry, he’s not as petty as you imagine. The reason he has been in charge of the Blue Sun Cup for so many years is because he greatly values young Beast Tamers. He has always firmly believed that young people are the future of the Beast Tamers world.
So he couldn't possibly dislike you.”
And how many people wouldn't like someone as excellent as Mingxi?
“As for after the Blue Sun Cup ends, the Grand Elder does have an idea, but the specific implementation still needs careful consideration. Anyway, you don’t need to ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) worry too much. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Remember, your homeland will always have your back!”
Mingxi paused, then smiled brightly, “I know.”
Since there was no immediate danger, Mingxi relaxed and asked about another matter. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
“Has the person who exposed my whereabouts been found?”
Chu Kuangsheng wasn't surprised that she would care about this question, “Don’t worry, your teammates and logistics team are all fine. It was your lounge that was tampered with.”
Mingxi frowned, “Lounge? But Coach Yuan and the others conduct thorough checks every day.”
The logistics team couldn't possibly fail at this aspect of their work.
Could it be that the other party possessed higher technology or skills than their side?
“The problem was with your neighbor. Someone dug out all the soundproofing from the inner wall of your lounge, leaving only the outermost layer, then placed listening devices in the lounge next door and used sound capturers. That’s how your whereabouts were exposed.”
Mingxi frowned, the lounge next door...
“It must be the British Empire.”
The lounges next to theirs belonged to the British Empire and Sava respectively.
Mingxi sneered, it seemed Harry Robert’s downfall was not unjust.
“That’s right.”
Chu Kuangsheng continued: “Our people have confirmed that the large amount of star coins used to post your death bounty originated from a declining noble in the British Empire.”
The British Empire’s problems were growing larger and larger.
It was very likely a major stronghold of the Descent Organization on Blue Star.
“Harry Robert’s Inferno Rhinoceros was probably also the work of the Descent.”
Mingxi had thought of it, but she still couldn't understand, “Why would they let Harry Robert be exposed? This matter must have a very important purpose. They can't just want to use it to declare to the entire Alliance that they, the Descent, also have the ability to provide Demonic Flame Tyrant Rhinoceros to various countries, can they?”
