Book 7: Chapter 24: The Chase
“We’ve recruited someone really dangerous!” Liza put down her phone and sighed, her smile bitter as she looked at Yin. “This Qin Lun… perhaps not physically stronger than the Phantom Troupe members, but in cunning… few could match him. He’s a viper!”
“Mmm. We both got the Phantom Troupe intel at the same time. We gambled, just focused on tightening defenses. Yet he’d already planned a big surprise for the Troop. No wonder he asked us to help gather explosives from the Mafia two days ago. Looks like all twenty-plus kilograms of that TNT ended up stuffed inside that puppet doll.”
Yin shrugged helplessly. “Thankfully, he’s on our side and didn’t help those monsters from Meteor Street… Honestly, I really wanted to stick around and see if he could actually get the better of the Phantom Troupe!”
“That’s too dangerous! He’s a Meteor Street thug! He doesn’t fear death; we’re nothing like him!” Liza shook her head, her expression gloomy. “Besides, I’m a Manipulation Type focused on disguise. You specialize in Perception. Neither of us are powerhouse fighters. Let’s not wade into that mess.”
“Alright. Then we’ll do that thing for him, consider it repaying the favor!” Yin nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“Mmm. According to his analysis, there shouldn’t be many guards left there. If we’re going to act, now’s the time!” Liza said cautiously.
