Hyena discovered that the Jade Coffin was missing and dispatched a large number of people to search for its whereabouts… Unfortunately, such a search was like looking for a needle in a haystack and was doomed to fail.

When the dense gunfire erupted along the canal, although that area was sparsely populated, it still caused significant impact. The Yangcheng Police Department sprung into action immediately.

On land, the sound of police sirens filled the Yangcheng District, some heading towards the canal while others patrolled the urban area, preventing any possible incidents.

The water police of the canal jurisdiction had also been fully deployed, quickly searching for the boats involved in the incident… Especially since they found numerous floating bodies on the water—all shot to death.

In Dragon Country, firearms were strictly controlled; unauthorized possession of guns was a serious crime, let alone using them to kill people, and to have killed so many.

It wasn't just the police that were mobilized; the armed police and the military had joined in as well. With Hyena's people causing such a commotion, they were quite literally running into the line of fire.

Although these individuals had strong personal combat capabilities, when facing a group of armed soldiers and paramilitary police, avoiding capture or being killed was already an achievement.

As for trying to find the lost Jade Coffin, there was even less hope...

Moreover, with the Jade Coffin in Qin Fang's hands, even if they turned the entire Yangcheng upside down, they would never find it.

"Is it you?"

When Qin Fang returned to his chef disguise, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a good while, but her expression quickly turned dark, "Have you been tracking me from the very beginning?"

"This... I won't deny it!"

Qin Fang touched his nose; indeed, it was the truth. He had been following her ever since discovering that Su Xiaoxiao was an Assassin.

Su Xiaoxiao had a sharp nose. They had once shared an elevator ride, and although she previously recognized him, he thought she had figured that he was the "sleazy chef" living on the floor below her.

Now it seemed that it wasn't the case. Maybe at that time, Su Xiaoxiao hadn't paid much attention to his presence, simply seeing him as a lecherous man.

"Hmph…"

Su Xiaoxiao glared at Qin Fang resentfully, yet with things at this stage, there wasn't much point in dwelling on it, "Don't tell me that even your face is fake?"

However, she was not easily fooled. Qin Fang had been tailing her all day, changing his face at least five or six times, each different. She wondered if his current face was indeed his real one.

Qin Fang shrugged his shoulders, neither confirming nor denying.

He wasn't very familiar with Su Xiaoxiao. Perhaps after this mission, they would never meet again for the rest of their lives, so naturally, there was no need to reveal his true face to her.

"Men really are no good, not a single word of truth…"

With such an action from Qin Fang, even though he didn't speak, he had already said it all. Su Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose and cursed, clearly annoyed.

"It's safe now. Can you tell me where the item is?"

Despite the cursing, proper business was still the priority and Su Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't forget it.

"Let's not rush this. We should turn in the mission first and then discuss this matter… You also mentioned, that Millennium Ancient Corpse is dangerous. If we can't subdue it, it will be difficult for us to take the items…"

Actually, Qin Fang was even more anxious than Su Xiaoxiao, but as she had said, the Millennium Ancient Corpse was impervious to knives and guns, and extremely ferocious. If they opened the Jade Coffin and the creature jumped out, even he wouldn't be able to subdue it, which would be a big problem!

"That's true!"

After thinking it over, Su Xiaoxiao also found it reasonable.

Despite being an Assassin, with several lives taken by her hands, she mostly killed her targets with guns; her actual close combat skills were quite lacking.

She struggled even against average special forces soldiers, let alone such a creature that was immune to knives and guns…

"Let's go to my room…"

To complete the mission, naturally, they had to submit it. Since this mission involved collaboration between two people, they needed to hand it in together so that the points could be shared between them.

Qin Fang suggested going to his room, so later all he had to do was produce the Jade Coffin and simply claim he had someone bring it back.

However, Su Xiaoxiao clearly didn't trust Qin Fang, whom she considered a "pervert". It wasn't that she feared he would flee, but rather that she was worried about his intentions towards her.

There were objects in her room that could effectively protect her safety. Naturally, it would be safer for her there…

"Fine then…" Qin Fang didn't find it easy to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao was staying in a presidential suite, which was much larger and better equipped than his business suite, making it very easy to accommodate such a large jade coffin.

Qin Fang pretended to go back to his room to get his computer and then went together with Su Xiaoxiao to her room, where she quickly took out a laptop designated for the Assassin's Alliance. Both of them logged into the assassin transaction platform at a rapid pace and submitted the task as a small team…

The task submission was quick, but they couldn't immediately access the points. The Assassin's Alliance would take a few days to verify the task to confirm the target was dead, and then they would distribute the task points or a reward.

Sinan was absolutely dead; even a descended deity couldn't save him—I was certain of that more than anyone else…

Hospital doctors can use instrument readings to determine whether a patient is dead or not, but this also comes with some uncertainties, such as heartbeat. It's possible for a patient's heart to stop beating for a while, but then suddenly start again…

However, I used the Scouting Skill for verification, and being alive or dead shows as two completely different states. If alive, their health points would show, but if dead, they would be categorized as an inanimate object, with health points completely drained.

My points had already expired, putting me in a dangerous period, and if things went wrong, I could be designated by the Assassin's Alliance as overdue and listed for elimination.

But now, with this task done, the 15 points hadn't been deposited yet, yet they were already in a locked state. The system would automatically extend the deadline, and once the task results were confirmed, and the 15 points deposited, that would be best. If not deposited, then I would automatically be listed for elimination.

"Phew~~ All set!"

Su Xiaoxiao also let out a long sigh of relief after submitting the cleaning task. Although the process was full of twists and turns, it was, on the whole, quite smooth.

Feeling relaxed, she couldn't help but stretch lazily, her favorite movement. But she forgot that in front of her was a "lecher" eyeing her "covetously."

The room's temperature was definitely higher since they were inside, and Su Xiaoxiao had taken off her coat. She was wearing a clingy sweater underneath, and as she stretched, her body bent backward slightly, revealing her perfect curves, especially her prominent chest…

Although I wouldn't actually do anything to Su Xiaoxiao, with such a delightful scene before me, not to admire it would be a waste. Naturally, I stared with a smile.

"Ah… You pervert!"

Only then did Su Xiaoxiao acknowledge my presence, noticing my "lecherous gaze." Her fair cheeks immediately blushed, and she grabbed a cushion and tossed it at me.

The thing had very limited lethality, so I didn't even blink as it hit me. If I weren't purposely letting Su Xiaoxiao vent her frustration, I could have easily swatted the cushion away.

"Can't blame me for this…"

I laughed it off nonchalantly, not taking the incident to heart.

"Hmph..."

Su Xiaoxiao bit her teeth angrily. She did want to beat me up badly, but the man in front of her had even taken down a lunatic like Explosive Bear Locke, clearly out of her league.

"Now that the task is submitted, you should tell me about that matter…"

Since she couldn't beat me, resignation was the next best thing. Unable to stand my "lecherous gaze," Su Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject and returned to another matter.

"Are you really in such a rush?"

I looked a bit sour, "How about this, you leave me your contact information, and once I figure out how to extract the corpse oil, I'll bring it to you… How does that sound?"

Just how powerful the Millennium Ancient Corpse was, I also had my doubts. If its strength was below Grandmaster Level, I was confident I could control it. But if it was too strong and impervious to weapons, then I would have no options at all.

It was precisely because of this uncertainty that, although I also really wanted to obtain the corpse oil from the Millennium Ancient Corpse, I planned to make thorough preparations before taking action. That way, nothing would go wrong.

At worst, if I couldn't defeat the ancient corpse, I could still put it back into the jade coffin and deal with it once my strength increased…

"No way!"

But Su Xiaoxiao was quite determined.

"Don't try to fool me! If you leave, finding you again won't be so easy… Tell me, are you trying to renege on our deal?"

What a joke, were she and I that familiar?

We had only just met today, not even a full day, let alone the fact that I kept changing form and she didn't even know what I looked like. How could she possibly trust me?

Of course, if it were her, Su Xiaoxiao, who had obtained the Millennium Ancient Corpse, she certainly wouldn't be willing to share it with others. Such things are surely safest in one's own hands.

"What debt do I have to renege on?"

I too laughed bitterly. Honestly, I was truly considering Su Xiaoxiao's safety. If I released the Millennium Ancient Corpse, even if I couldn't defeat that monster, I'd surely have no problem protecting myself. But for the delicate and precious Su Xiaoxiao, it was hard to say… I'd wager the ancient corpse could flatten her with a single slap.
