Meng Chao smelled a familiar scent from these people’s hiding habits and breathing patterns.
Thinking about it carefully, the nine mega corporations of this era should have secretly formed their own core elite force, the Ghost Tribe.
In his previous life, Meng Chao had been a Ghost Assassin created by the Ghost Tribe’s Black Skull Training Camp.
Therefore, he had been scanning the Ghost Assassins surrounding Lu Siya since the first day he broke through to the Deity Realm in this life.
“These people must be Yun Feidian’s subordinates. They’re lurking around Lu Siya like hyenas, looking for a chance to capture her in secret.
“The Blood Alliance and the Ghost Tribe are the same. They’re sharp blades in the hands of the extremists within the nine mega corporations.
“Lu Siya should not have been so foolish to leave the station at such a time.”
As most of the Ghost Assassins followed Lu Siya’s caravan into the distance, Meng Chao quietly trailed after these “ghosts” as well.
Their stealth and tracking techniques were from the same source.
Besides, Meng Chao’s cultivation and experience were several chips higher than that of his opponents.
Whether it was the Walking Corpse technique, the Bizarre Stab technique, or the various combat techniques taught in the Black Skull Training Camp, he had mastered the versions that would be perfected decades later.
Therefore, neither Lu Siya nor the Ghost Assassins who had been following Lu Siya noticed Meng Chao. He was jumping between tall buildings two blocks away and controlling the whole situation.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Siya’s motorcade passed through the busy downtown area and stopped in front of a large bustling market.
Meng Chao saw that the big screens hanging on the wall outside the market were playing the promotional information of some products.
The customers who came in and out of the market were all excited and in high spirits.
Even though there was a thick curtain hanging at the door, it still could not stop the noise in the market from coming out.
It was the Monster Market in the north of the city, a place that specialized in selling monster materials.
Thanks to the underground black market scandal that happened in the southern Monster Market a few days ago, the nine mega corporations had been too afraid to retain precious resources in the past few days. They wanted to regain their reputation.
As such, many rare monster materials were sold at a fair price in the Monster Market, and the number of people entering the Monster Market had almost doubled over the past few days.
Meng Chao spotted Lu Siya. She was wearing wide sunglasses and a mask, securely covering her entire face. She gave a few instructions to the members of the Azure Alliance who had gathered around her. Then, the group split up and entered the Monster Market.
The Ghost Assassins who had come to secretly capture her also changed their appearances. They wore ordinary clothes and hid their weapons in their wide robes as well as bulging backpacks. Then, they split up and squeezed in through the various entrances.
“Why did Lu Siya come to the Monster Market?”
Meng Chao did not think that Lu Siya would visit the Monster Market to buy some materials during such a critical time.
Fortunately, he also carried several sets of clothing to disguise himself and various materials for a makeover in his backpack.
Three minutes later, Meng Chao, who had changed into a set of overalls and waterproof boots, entered the Monster Market too. His face and body appeared bloated.
Even though Lu Siya had hidden her facial features, Meng Chao was still able to lock onto her at the first sight.
He saw her pushing against the stream of people and talking to someone through a portable communicator.
After a few words, her eyes suddenly glinted. Even her wide sunglasses could not hide the light that was bursting out from her eyes.
Lu Siya raised her head and looked around the atrium that connected the market as if she was searching for someone.
“Has she detected the Ghost Assassins?”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and scanned the Ghost Assassins out of the corner of his eyes.
He found that these people were indeed worthy of being well-known in the Black Skull Training Camp. As soon as they entered the market, they were like drops of water falling into the sea. They could not be distinguished from the ordinary citizens who were happily shopping around.
If Meng Chao had not locked onto and recorded the heartbeat, breathing, and gait of each Ghost Assassin, even he would have found it difficult to distinguish them from the crowd.
No, Lu Siya should not have discovered the Ghost Assassins.
Otherwise, she would not have left the base and exposed herself to the Blood Alliance’s sharp blades.
“Has she discovered me?”
Meng Chao’s heartbeat instantly sped up.
One should know that he and Lu Siya had once experienced the impact of the Red Radiance Jade tide together.
The two of them had a similar telepathic connection ever since, and itwas a double-edged sword.
It made it easier for Meng Chao to lock onto Lu Siya, but it was easier for Lu Siya to discover him too.
Now, Meng Chao could only hope that Lu Siya thought he was dead and did not activate their strange telepathic connection.
At the same time, as a Deity Realm warrior, he could temporarily change the frequency of his vitality magnetic field. He could more or less conceal the traces of the Red Radiance Jade tide deep in his cells, right?
While Meng Chao was deep in thought, he suddenly realized that Lu Siya was commanding the members of the Azure Alliance to spread out in all directions. It was as if they were going to the various floors of the Monster Market to look for someone or something.
As a result, Lu Siya was alone, under the watchful eyes of the Ghost Assassins.
“What on Earth is she doing?!”
Meng Chao broke out in a cold sweat.
More than ten members of the Azure Alliance had originally been guarding her, and many ordinary citizens were purchasing monster materials around her. Yun Feidian’s troops might not dare to arrest her in front of everyone.
But Lu Siya had personally removed a layer of her “protective shell”!
Meng Chao was burning with anxiety.
Lu Siya, on the other hand, seemed to have no idea that she was in a great crisis. She squeezed into the bathroom in the southeastern corner of the market alone.
Before she entered the bathroom, she threw the portable crystal communicator that she had been holding into the garbage bin next to her.
What on Earth is she doing? Why did she throw away the communicator? Who was she talking to earlier?
Countless glittering question marks appeared before Meng Chao’s eyes.
His intuition told him that Lu Siya’s series of strange actions were all related to the caller.
Fortunately, the market was in its busiest hour right now, and there was a long line at the entrance of the female toilet. It was probably crowded inside, and Lu Siya would unlikely play any tricks in front of everyone.
After she entered the women’s toilet, a few female Ghost Assassins disguised as ordinary citizens followed closely behind and formed a line.
However, after a full five minutes, Lu Siya did not come out.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
