Chapter 267: It's Him!
Chapter 267: It's Him!
"No, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before!"
Cong Yu's conviction grew stronger.
Only transactions worth millions of dollars would bring someone like him here.
This wasn't an easy feat.
As this thought crossed his mind, he immediately checked the transaction history.
The next moment, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's him!"
"What's wrong, Supervisor?"
"What happened?" the two bodyguards behind him asked anxiously.
"Nothing, nothing," Cong Yu replied, snapping back to reality with a bitter laugh.
Indeed, he now knew who that person was.
It was the man from the young couple's previous visits.
One's appearance could be altered in various ways, but for something as important as a bank account, no one would be foolish enough to transfer money to someone else's account.
"No wonder we didn't see them yesterday; they've already split up? However, that young man's capabilities are somewhat beyond my expectations."
Cong Yu was secretly shocked.
After realizing that the woman was a Mind Master, he had focused most of his attention on her.
As for his companion, Jiang Cheng, he hadn't paid much attention, subconsciously assuming that Jiang Cheng was the woman's assistant.
In reality, anyone in that situation would have thought the same, as Night had barely spoken a few words the entire time, and Jiang Cheng had often sought her opinion through eye contact during their journey.
However, the man he had overlooked had come alone, bringing so many items, including over a dozen guns. One could only imagine the kind of experience he had gone through!
"Perhaps the Mind Master is injured, and the young man will have to share half the earnings when he returns."
Cong Yu took a deep breath, thinking to himself.
If it wasn't like that.
Then, that young man's capabilities might not be much weaker than the Mind Master's, and having the Mind Master with him might have even reduced his own earnings.
...
Jiang Cheng left the warehouse and headed straight for the exit.
Logically, with enough money, he should go to the Trading House to purchase the missing Secret Potions and continue to reserve the Tranquilizing Pills at a discounted price.
However, for safety reasons, he decided against it.
The Human Skin Mask could deceive Primordial Energy Warriors, but it might not work on a Mind Master, especially one of Grandmaster rank.
If he were to transfer the money in the Dawn Society, a single mental scan from the Grandmaster would expose his deception, drawing more attention to himself.
So, it was better to be honest and purchase the items, including the Spirit Recovery Acceleration Pills, from the black market.
He pondered his options and felt that buying from the Society wasn't a good idea either.
After all, he was only a Second Level Force Warrior, and even Fourth to Fifth Level Force Warriors near White Pine Camp could be easily defeated. Yet, he, a Second Level Force Warrior, had not only emerged unscathed but also earned over a million.
If he were Bing Li, he would be suspected of hiding his strength.
Either he was concealing his true power or laundering money under the pretense of hunting in the wilderness, transferring illicit funds to legitimate accounts.
The black market was the better option.
With over two million, including the cost of Tranquilizing Pills and Secret Potions, buying them separately would reduce the chances of attracting attention.
However, this meant waiting for a long time.
But compared to the risks, waiting a little longer was insignificant.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng had already arrived at the exit.
After getting through the queue, he slammed on the accelerator and sped off, leaving everyone behind.
Only then did the people behind him react.
It seemed like the other party was all bluff and no substance.
However, by the time they realized it, even if they wanted to chase after him, it was already too late.
"Forget it, we'll get him next time he comes around and teach him a lesson!"
Many of them thought bitterly.
As Jiang Cheng approached the city gate, he took off his mask and presented his credentials, smoothly making his way to the secret garage at headquarters.
After parking his car, he just needed to submit a report on his phone, and that was it.
But just as he opened the car door, a few people walked towards him.
"Cang Hai?"
Among them, a somewhat familiar voice called out.
Jiang Cheng recognized the person who addressed him by his nickname.
Feng Lai.
A Fourth Rank Force Warrior.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to him that Jiang Cheng initially gained recognition at headquarters, with many people becoming aware of his marksmanship.
"Cang Hai, is that really you?"
Feng Lai was surprised. He looked at Jiang Cheng and then at the pickup truck behind him. He sniffed his nose and looked at Jiang Cheng again.
"What's this?"
Not only him but not just him, but the other few people also smelled the blood-curdling scent that hadn't completely dissipated from the truck's cabin.
Could it be that this newcomer named Cang Hai had just gone hunting for beasts in the wild? But wasn't he only a Second Rank? What made him dare to go hunting in the wild?
"Oh, it's like this."
Jiang Cheng had a sudden idea. He scratched his head and said, "I heard that hunting beasts in the wild is very profitable, so I went to try it out. I even managed to hit a few Tier 1 and Tier 2 beasts. But as I walked, I started feeling scared, so I turned back."
The few people smelled the scent and then burst into laughter.
"Cang Hai, it's good that you didn't act on impulse and found your way back."
Feng Lai shook his head.
"The wild is not a place for ordinary people. Even if you're a Second Rank Force Warrior, going there is most likely a death sentence. Because in the wild, humans are more dangerous than those beasts."
"Yes, you're on your own. If you're not discovered, it's fine. But once discovered, the consequences will be more than just dire."
"It's better to stay and cultivate more at headquarters. When your cultivation reaches Fourth or Fifth Rank, like us, then you can go hunting."
"You should have a clear understanding of your abilities. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
They spoke, some with concern for Jiang Cheng, and others with a sense of superiority.
Jiang Cheng nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, Cang Hai, your marksmanship is quite renowned. Would you like to come with us to the wilderness to hunt?" Just then, Feng Lai suddenly asked, "We're going to the wilderness?"
As his words fell, the few people beside him looked at him, their eyes showing varying degrees of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Feng Lai quickly added, "Since you're a newcomer, we'll have to take care of you along the way. So, I'll be blunt, you won't get any of the loot."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the other few people improved slightly.
Jiang Cheng was a bit tempted.
Within the society, he was known for his accurate marksmanship, almost always hitting the target.
If he went with them, with his skills, he might really be able to hit a few beasts.
"Brother Feng Lai, thank you for your kindness. But after your advice, I think I'll cultivate for a while longer and go when my cultivation improves."
Jiang Cheng sighed.
