Chapter 952: Pursuer (2)
Liu Shaji’s eyes flashed with a hint of shock. He turned to Li Xiaofei and asked, "That bastard figured out who I really am?"
Li Xiaofei, too, had been momentarily shaken. So Wei Xiaotian had already realized that Liu Shaji was someone who had been reborn. If he had chosen to say that right before parting, was it truly just a reminder out of concern?
The two of them exchanged a few glances. Li Xiaofei had the distinct feeling that he had underestimated Wei Xiaotian. This man from Eden was far more dangerous than even his highest estimates had accounted for.
"Want me to chase him down and take him out?" Liu Shaji asked, already itching to act.
Li Xiaofei thought for a moment, then shook his head. "We still have bigger things to deal with. Besides... I have a feeling that keeping him alive might prove useful in our fight against the Reapers."
Wei Xiaotian had painstakingly infiltrated the Reaper faction, and it was clear he had some terrifying objective in mind. Perhaps he intended to throw the Reaper ranks into chaos. If so, it would be a tremendous boon for the human race.
So Liu Shaji restrained his impulse to act. The two of them turned and left. A short while later, they spotted Zhu Zhixun, Xiong Gang, and the others waiting for them on the other side of the Flame Mountains.
“Senior...” Zhu Zhixun was overjoyed at the sight of them, but his expression shifted slightly when he noticed Liu Shaji. “And this is...?”
Of course, he recognized Liu Shaji. He knew this man as one of the powerful subordinates under King Delta. During their journey so far, Liu Shaji had been loud, bold, and attention-grabbing. He was one of the more striking figures among the Reapers.
Li Xiaofei said, “No need to be alarmed. He’s one of us.”
He gave a quick introduction to both sides. Zhu Zhixun and the others were stunned. One of the King Delta’s most trusted lieutenants under the infamous Death God's Eye clan... was actually a human?
“I heard you’re planning to rescue Lin Beichen?” Liu Shaji said with a mischievous grin. “Interesting. I didn’t think that arrogant, lustful guy would end up locked inside the Holy Ruins and need a bunch of juniors to come save him. Hahaha! When we find him, I’m definitely going to mock him a bit.”
