Chapter 732: Before the collision

Reef was deeply moved by Sheyan’s words and muttered.
“Indeed, many extraordinarily clumsy swingers succeed due to their incredibly lucrative bait, thus causing many to disregard the clear warnings. This situation is rather common in the real world as well.”
Sheyan laughed and continued.
“Honestly speaking, the flaws aren’t that inexcusable. If we consider the various aforementioned flaws, we can still find a reasonable explanation for them.”
“For instance, the flaw of the meeting’s time. Many scenarios can lead to this, for example, the mysterious man was unsure whether his flight would be delayed, or perhaps he is merely an untrusting individual thus issued a time range instead.”
“The excessive information on Wester’s computer can be explained by the fact he normally uses the internet for active communication. Moreover, his computer is protected by a military grade firewall and thus wasn’t worried about any leakage of information.”
“The locations on Zi’s ipad could be explained by Zi’s personality being analogous to a lil’ rodent like animals; frequently scampering into severely dangerous places, and thus digging holes in every world to store up some reserves. Therefore, it would be a chore to remember the locations of each secret cell…”
“Oi oi oi, what lil’ rodent like animals.” Zi stared at Sheyan icily with a sense of dissatisfaction. One could even notice a glint of force gathering in her palms!
Sheyan hastily released two dry coughs and corrected himself.
“Typo, typo. Wait no, just a slip of the tongue!”
Zi rolled her eyes at him as her lips slanted down slightly. Her expression of a smile yet not a smile contained a rarely seen enchantment to it. This expression was indeed a fairly rare sight coming from ex-party leader Zi.
Yet in the next moment, Sheyan recalled that even the haughty and impressive Zeus couldn’t contain Zi, and thus, immediately sipped his coffee and diverted the topic.
“Even if my plan fails, it’ll still cause both parties to turn wary like birds startled by a mere twang of the bow. It will still be favourable for our next step. Hence right now, we must think of how to seize the ‘Mosquito Amber’ from Hammond.”
Brother Black doubtfully suggested.
“He shouldn’t possess any superpower right, then the difficulty would be merely the guards around him eh.”
Sheyan shook his head with a grim countenance.
“Not true. I reckon the ‘Mosquito Amber’ is truly with Hammond, thus, this should be the final hurdle for Zi’s main mission. But speaking in perspective of progressive main missions, its difficulty should inevitably amplify incrementally. Moreover, since they displayed the generous rewards in advance, the difficulty absolutely isn’t negligible. Very likely, it ranks amongst the class of hidden main missions. Do you still remember our experience in the Caribbean Sea World?”
“Also, the realm won’t randomly alter the storyline or a storyline character’s ability. This implies that Hammond is most likely just an ordinary mortal. Thus, the biggest resistance to acquiring the ‘Mosquito Amber’, should reside in finding him.”
Reef doubtfully interrupted.
“In view of our capabilities, wouldn’t finding an ordinary person be fairly simple?”
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
“Not necessarily. If he is hiding in the White House, would we dare to pay our compliments? Moreover, this world’s weapon system is exceptionally advanced, eliminating us isn’t an issue. On the contrary, if Mr Hammond really flees to the White House, I will feel more at ease…”
Zi’s curved brows knitted as she spoke up.
“I understand what you mean. After getting his hands on the ‘Mosquito Amber’, Hammond’s goal is to analyze that primogenitor blood and create a chemical weapon that can easily eradicate all dinosaurs. However, there is now an industrial era of dinocrystals which doesn’t seem inferior at all to the oil or diamond industry.”
“Therefore, Hammond’s objective is akin to causing all oil fields in the world to dry up. It’ll undoubtedly incite the public’s fury. As such, Hammond will surely desire for a safe and secured infrastructure that will prevent disruptions to his research. Going by this, a place that satisfies this condition is pretty arduous to find….could it be, you’re worried that he’ll run to that place?”
Sheyan nodded as he gravely answered.
“Correct, the same place where the story originated. Basically, the most dangerous place in this world! Jurassic Park! Regardless of how the story became modified by you guys, Jurassic Park is still Hammond’s creation. After all, he is hailed as the father of dinosaurs.”
“For a man of his calibre, it’ll be easy for him to find a few assistants and return to Jurassic Park. He can just proceed with experimenting with the dinosaur hormones, while the facilities in the park should be relatively intact. In contrast, for us to capture him now, the difficulty we will face…….is likely to be insane. Putting it bluntly, under normal circumstances, an Awakener would be needed to guarantee success.”
Zi clasped her coffee mug with her slender and fair fingers, and lifted it for an elegant sip before speaking.
“Your conjecture is quite logical, but you omitted one fact. We aren’t there to slaughter Awakener level dinosaurs but merely, to infiltrate their territory and steal something from an ordinary old man. This disparity is substantial.”
Sheyan paused briefly before refuting.
“Yes, but….”
When speaking till here, Sheyan abruptly sealed his mouth.
This was because Sheyan noticed something.
On the rooftop garden of a five-star grand hotel two hundred metres from here, an individual had suddenly emerged.
Instead, the revolving restaurant was situated a few couple dozen metres higher than the rooftop garden. This prosperous restaurant was constantly revolving slowly, making it hard for that individual to notice the gang of four. Instead, it would be relatively simple for Sheyan and company to spy on him, because at this time, there were only a measly few guests on the hotel’s rooftop garden.
This was a skinny and tall brat whose head was adorned with an adidas headband. He carried a brown backpack and appeared like a typical tourist. However, when he retrieved a tiny hollow straw in his mouth……an incomparably incisive air of danger instantly exuberated out from him!
It was as though anyone would get injured just by looking at him!
“Zi, you recognize him?” Sheyan raised his coffee mug to his lips and expressionlessly whispered.
Zi added a sugar cube in her coffee mug and stirred it gently with a spoon. The spoon occasionally clinked against the coffee mug’s surface. As she glanced at that individual, she insipidly announced.
“Yes, he’s from Skull Party and should be a relatively terrifying peak Growth-Hunter.”
Sheyan then glanced at the main clock of this restaurant. The clock hands were pointing at 3 minutes to noon.
His eyes squinted as he pronounced.
“Ah, I can’t wait….Zi, if Fu Lyanna encounters imminent fatal danger, would Zeus risk himself to rescue her?”
The two names, Fu Lyanna and Zeus, were a taboo to Zi. Nevertheless, Sheyan just had to bring them up.
Zi instantly transformed into a icy beauty who lived in glacial mountains, her eyes flickered coldly as she scoffed.
“No idea.”
Sheyan smiled and jested.
“But if it were you in Fu Lyanna’s shoes, would Zeus come?”
Zi instantly bit her lips and issued a deep tone after a long while.
“Shut up!”
“Something’s happening!” Brother Black’s eyesight was the best. Of course, he interrupted to break the awkward atmosphere as well.
Only Sheyan knew why he purposely rubbed Zi’s wound. Some matters could be kept in the heart while some cannot. Just like the death of a former comrade, if one allowed sorrow to continue fermenting in the heart, one would end up with extremely severe psychological damage.
Zi was fine now while being occupied in this trial of life and death. Yet once the calm after the storm ensues, that was when the greatest hurt would erupt.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was drawn away by Brother Black.
Amidst the Downtown Plaza below, although the Metals Professor and her group had disguised themselves, the combined imposing aura they exuded was out of the ordinary. Sable was currently leading the way.
Witnessing this scene, Sheyan’s lips curled into a smirk. He could pretty much predict a reaction from Skull Party soon.
They had cordoned off and have been monitoring this area and unexpectedly, came a bunch from Glory Party. Yes, even an average person could understand what was going on.
Those scums from Glory Party must’ve received intelligence on the impending transaction to be held in the Target Cafe! Otherwise, what would they be here for?
In such a scenario, the members of Skull Party would continue hiding patiently in the shadows, and take this opportunity to keep tabs on their opponent. Then, when the mysterious dealer and buyer arrives, they would capture everything in one fell swoop; killing two birds with one stone!
Nevertheless, they only had specific information on Wester. Without Wester showing himself, they would have to continue waiting.
In contrast, the Metals Professor and group wasn’t going to maintain this peaceful status quo, because, they weren’t aware of whatever dog shit transaction. Instead, they were here in search of a nonexistent secret cell.
The members of Glory Party obviously weren’t courteous professionals. When searching for the secret cell, a crude commotion definitely couldn’t be avoided. With a commotion resembling that of a demolishing flat, without a doubt, the mysterious dealer and Wester would be scared silly and thus, sensing something was amiss and call off the meeting.
Thus, the group from Glory Party would’ve pricked the reverse scales of Skull Party.
