“Clearly already arrived but wouldn’t answer, is she crazy?”

The young man mumbled in a low voice.

As a Professionist, Liu Shi Man’s hearing is extremely good, so the mumbling of the young man didn’t escape her ears at all.

But she wasn’t the least bit angry, instead calmly observing the area.

With the 360 degree 3D projection, she was able to see every detail of what’s happening outside the shuttle.

There’s no new shuttles landing, no one leaving from having finished their meals, there wasn’t even a car passing by on the road.

This is the safest moment.

Liu Shi Man slowly rubbed the golden ring on her finger, burst out laughing silently and shook her head.

The young man came to the door, yelling: “Your order is here, please receive it”

Liu Shi Man’s order was a bit large so he was already breathing a bit heavily from bringing it all this way.

From the way he looks, it seems he doesn’t intend to bring it up, instead of waiting for her to come down and get it.

But Liu Shi Man is definitely not coming down!

“Come up here, quickly” she ordered.

The young man sighed, then said: “Please tell me your caller ID”

Liu Shi Man told him the unconscious man’s number.

“Fine”

The young man had no choice but to carry the big boxes up.

When he came in, he was slightly shocked.

Because the shuttle’s owner was standing on the other side of the shuttle, staring at him.

“Crazy”

The young man muttered quietly, then placed the food boxes onto the table in the shuttle.

He quickly put everything out.

Then he glanced at her and said: “I wish you a wonderful meal”

After saying so, he instantly turned to leave, not sparing a single moment.

Looking at his back, Liu Shi Man thought about how she has at least a couple dozen ways to kill him instantly at this angle.

When the delivery man was about to walk through the door, a rock lance has silently appeared in her hand.

She readied herself to throw it.

At the same time, her Earth Elemental power was still focused on her fingertips, ready to activate the ring at any time.

In the very second ——–

The young man left the shuttle and didn’t even bother to turn back. Making ‘clang clang’ sounds with his shoes as he walked down the shuttle stairs.

He really did leave.

In fact, he was hurrying back to the restaurant as soon as he got off the shuttle.

He looked like he was in a rush.

——-ah right, he still has to clean the store.

So he’s perfectly fine as well?

Seems like it.

Liu Shi Man shook her head, finally feeling that she’s a bit too paranoid.

The rock lance disappeared in her hands.

Looking at the massive amount of food on the table, she couldn’t help but gulp.

As she walked to the table to eat, she found that the dashboard of the steering wheel was blinking.

“What’s the problem?” Liu Shi Man asked.

[Not enough fuel to reach appointed destination, please make sure to refuel] the electronic voice replied.

“I know” Liu Shi Man answered in annoyance.

As she opened the box of food, the first thing she did was scan it with a device she had on hand, waited until it turned up a green light before eating.

While she wolfed down the food, she was thinking about how to refuel the shuttle.

To refuel, she would have to go into a large-scale energy station, at which point the station will scan the shuttle’s owner certificate.

Which means, it won’t be long until someone found that this was a missing shuttle from the data scanned at the energy station.

That’s not the only issue.

Once she enters the station, there’s a chance that hackers might be able to gain access to the shuttle’s GPS system, thus finding out her location and destination.

Liu Shi Man couldn’t think of any method to circumvent this all the way until she was full.

Outside, the restaurant door opened.

The girl called Tong Tong walked out.

“Don’t play too hard, make sure to get home early” her father’s advisory voice came.

“You’re so nosy, I want to play a bit longer, I want to go overnight!”

The girl seems to be in her rebellious phase and protested.

The father wasn’t able to get through to her, so he just sighed.

A few people in the restaurant were laughing without malice at that.

The girl quickly went to the shuttle and climbed in.

Starting it up, the girl took out a Holo-Brain and spoke with her friends on the other side of the screen.

The other side was clearly having a party, the music was very loud, you could almost see the girls and boys dancing to it.

A few young girls wearing fashionable clothes were on the other side of the screen, raising a bottle of liquor and spoke to Tong Tong.

“Come quick, come quick, you’re late already” one of them said.

“I’ll be there soon, just wait a bit”

“We’ll give you a time limit, if you haven’t come yet when that’s up, we’ll leave for the after-party party!”

After saying so, an image of a clock face appeared on Tong Tong’s Holo-Brain’s screen.

The clock hands were ticking.

“That’s barely 10 minutes! You guys are mean!”

Tong Tong exclaimed, but quickly arranged the route on her GPS system.

She doesn’t notice at all how there’s a person already standing behind her inside the shuttle, silently watching all this.

Liu Shi Man stopped watching and silently pushed opened the bag on the back.

An eye-catching cup reflected in Liu Shi Man’s eyes —–the same cup in the news article she saw.

Some text was carved on the cup: “First place – Fu Ning village wind instrument competition”

Next to the cup was a metal flute.

There were some words carved on the flute as well: “A gift to Tong Tong, hoping that she will keep doing her best”

After seeing all of them, Liu Shi Man silently returned the bag to its place.

This was a civilian shuttle so it’s very unassuming, and there won’t be anyone looking for it in the next few hours.

Everyone saw clearly how Tong Tong didn’t want to go home just now.

That being the case, even if she’s a little late, her parents might worry, or get a bit angry, but they won’t think too much of it.

This is a small village, so the shuttle is unlike those in large cities that have an interconnecting network array of safety monitoring devices.

——-I’ll just kill her then dump her body in a lake, no more worries along the journey.

Thinking so, Liu Shi Man raised her hand.

Earth Elemental power was concentrated into a sharp rock dagger, held tightly in her hand.

She raised the dagger.

In that moment, a figure appeared behind her.

The figure didn’t let out any sound and didn’t emit any presence, like it was nothing but air.

Liu Shi Man completely didn’t notice.

In front of Liu Shi Man, Tong Tong was concentrated on looking at her Holo-Brain.

While the figure behind Liu Shi Man did nothing but stare at both of the girls’ movements.

Liu Shi Man moved!

The sharp rock dagger was aimed straight at the young girl’s nape.

If she receives this, she’ll die instantly without being able to utter a sound.

Her body will be thrown into some unknown lake, and her parents will never see her again.

In that very moment, like a silent flash, three things happened at the same time

Tong Tong didn’t turn around but used two fingers to tightly grip the blade of the dagger.

A black skull appeared from thin air.

And Liu Shi Man was lightly tapped on the shoulder.

FUCK!

Liu Shi Man’s alarms instantly rang as she immediately tried to activate the ring to teleport away.

But the light tap made her entire body shake uncontrollably.

As if struck by lightning, her body became stiff, unable to move even the tiniest bit of power.

At the same time, the black skull opened its mouth and bit her hand.

Her hand was instantly charred black, the only thing unharmed was the golden ring.

The ‘second’ hand of the clock on the Holo-Brain ticked once.

A streak of blood-red light quickly descended, grabbed Liu Shi Man by the neck and flew away.

The mission was over.

The figure that stood behind Liu Shi Man suddenly knelt down and coughed.

Tong Tong stood up and offered: “Mr. Gu, should I help you?”

“No need, I’ll get him” a clear charming female voice came.

Anna appeared at the shuttle door.

The three of them returned to Liu Shi Man’s shuttle and opened the trunk.

The man who was knocked unconscious before was sitting there, smoking a cigar.

“Hello”

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao greeted each other.
