As a top-notch assassin, the Shadow never expected to have a day when a glass of juice would be smashed on his head. He couldn’t understand why, at a time when everyone should have been focusing on the two people caught poisoning others, the person who used a glass of juice to attack him noticed him.
Moreover, he had seen his fair share of danger as an experienced assassin. He couldn’t believe he had been startled and frozen in his tracks just because someone shouted. It was embarrassing to even think about it. But now, instead of worrying about embarrassment, he needed to escape before his cover was blown.
As a top assassin, he couldn’t afford to make such mistakes again. Even if thunder roared in his ears, he would ignore it!
The Shadow quickly retreated with juice dripping from his head. Even though Ouyang Yang reacted quickly and fired a shot at the Shadow, it only grazed the edge of the assassin’s clothing. In the end, he managed to escape.
But Ouyang Yang had narrowly escaped danger. He walked over to Mo Yang’s table and said, “Thank you.”
Mo Yang noticed that Ouyang Yang had become more aloof as an adult, but he remembered when Ouyang Yang was not so cold. “Well, you’re welcome. But I didn’t expect him to be so obedient.”
Mo Yang scratched his chin. He had shouted loudly to distract the Shadow, and the effectiveness had surprised even him.
Professional assassins were not supposed to be affected by external factors, right? They were supposed to be the kind who could assassinate from ten steps away and disappear for miles without leaving a trace. Yet, this assassin seemed to be easily influenced by sounds.
Could it be that he had dreamt of giving passionate speeches all night and suddenly activated this hidden “sound control” skill today?
Mo Yang’s imagination ran wild for a moment, but Ouyang Yang provided a more reasonable explanation. “He probably didn’t expect you to notice him, so he showed a vulnerability. The Shadow has high concealment skills, and his presence is like a shadow that people can’t help but ignore. He can reach his target in just a moment and make a move before anyone notices him. So, you noticing him so quickly was unexpected.”
Mo Yang listened to Ouyang Yang’s explanation and almost burst into laughter. It seemed that this skill of being ignored in a big environment was not unique to his “Big Demon King” at home.
“I see. So, he’s met his match. I’m good at finding people, especially those who are easy to be overlooked.”
Ouyang Yang didn’t know why Mo Yang was so happy, but it didn’t affect his growing fondness for this young man. Even though they had just met, he had already decided that this was a trustworthy partner.
“Every time Dark Star Hotel holds a martial arts tournament, the participants always use various means to win, even if it means resorting to dirty tricks. Although I’ve repeatedly suggested banning such tournaments, my cousin handles this matter. So, I can’t interfere too much. I just hope that the participants will be careful and leave safely in the end.”
After saying this, Ouyang Yang left with the two players who had poisoned others. Their actions had been extremely malicious and had resulted in fatalities, so they were headed to prison.

At this point, the players truly realized the bloody undercurrents hidden beneath the seemingly peaceful world.
Wan Mei’s health points had never been very high, but after two months of persistence, his three basic physical attributes and health points had reached the level of an average person, and he was slowly catching up. Except for Mo Yang, who still stubbornly believed that he was physically weak, Song Kefeng and Zhou Api thought Wan Mei had decent physical qualities.
This time, Wan Mei lost 160 health points due to poisoning. Mo Yang felt really sorry, especially since the glass of milk had been specially bought for Wan Mei. Mo Yang gritted his teeth in anger, and the restaurant manager brought over two glasses of pink-colored drinks.
“Hello, Mr. Yang. To thank you for helping our young master resolve a crisis, these two ‘Pink Sakura’ drinks were specially made by our young master as a token of gratitude and compensation for this gentleman. I personally supervised the production, and these are the finest drinks our Dark Star Hotel has to offer. Please, both of you, enjoy.”
Mo Yang looked at the pink drink, which seemed very appealing to a girl. However, since it was a gift from Ouyang Yang, he decided to take a sip. Mo Yang reached out, but Wan Mei was faster and took a sniff of the aroma before nodding his approval.”
After sipping the Pink Sakura drink, Mo Yang’s eyes widened. “Heaven, I’ve never had such a delicious beverage in my life!” And if he wasn’t mistaken, his maximum health points had increased by 10?
He looked at Wan Mei, who raised an eyebrow. All the health points Wan Mei had lost due to poisoning had been restored.
The restaurant manager proudly boasted, “Of course. Pink Sakura is one of the Federation’s top precious beverages with extremely powerful restorative effects. A single glass is worth 100,000 star coins.”
Mo Yang: “…” Even though he was a wealthy CEO on Earth, he had never had a drink worth 100,000 before. Expensive alcohol, on the other hand, he had encountered.
After completing his mission, the manager left. Mo Yang and Wan Mei received envious and jealous looks from several other players nearby.
Among them were Harris, who had lost half of his health points, and Little Hou. Especially Little Hou, who liked the color of the starry sky drink, couldn’t be stopped even when Emperor Qin quickly reminded him. He took a big gulp of the drink, seemingly courting danger.
There were only sixteen people left in the restaurant, all of whom were players.
Some players wanted to get close to Emperor Qin and his group, but they were all coldly rejected. At this moment, Fei Ying stood up and approached Song Kefeng. “Did you offend Ouyang Qi before?”
Song Kefeng, with a cold look on his face, felt like laughing and then beating him to half-death before executing him. He didn’t respond.
It was Zhou Api who quickly spoke up, “Did you also play the hero and save the beauty? Did Bai Linger talk to you about any conditions?”
Fei Ying was displeased with Song Kefeng’s response, but he had already received the answer he wanted from Zhou Api. He stopped talking and walked away.
In his heart, Zhou Api cursed the man a few times. Mo Yang finally said, “He probably didn’t save Bai Linger, but it might be someone from the Bai family. Also, he probably received the same request as Song Kefeng, to assassinate Ouyang Qi. Otherwise, Ouyang Qi wouldn’t have specifically hired someone to deal with him and Song Kefeng. Those two players who poisoned others might have coincidentally gotten involved with Ouyang Qi and received such a mission.”
Mo Yang finished speaking and frowned as he looked at the other seven players on the other side. Could it be that they also received a secret mission because they encountered important characters? If that were the case, the players in this game world were truly killing each other in various ways and going after the world’s big shots. No wonder the game’s completion rate was so low.
After realizing this, Mo Yang didn’t want to stay in this place any longer. He wanted to go and see the microphones of the three presidents on the forty-ninth floor.
As Mo Yang and his group stood up to leave, Emperor Qin and his group followed suit. Mo Yang couldn’t help but feel annoyed, thinking, “Even the Emperor is willing to stoop so low and follow others to gain an advantage? It seems this guy has the ambition to be an Emperor, but I doubt he has the destiny for it.”
When Emperor Qin saw that Mo Yang and his group were heading to the forty-ninth-floor treasure vault, he understood immediately that the target those four people were speculating about, the King’s Scepter, must be one of the treasures in this vault. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come here today. However, the entire forty-ninth-floor treasure vault had thousands of items on display, and if those four people didn’t show any obvious preferences or tendencies, they wouldn’t easily find their presumed target.
But even so, as long as they guarded the entrance and exit of the treasure vault, they would effectively guard the Scepter.
The forty-ninth-floor treasure vault had many treasures on display, including various items associated with the “King.” For example, the King’s Crown, the King’s Seal, and even the golden King’s Scepter could be seen here. When Mo Yang saw the incredibly luxurious, gem-encrusted real King’s Scepter, he was truly amazed.
He couldn’t help but doubt whether his speculation was correct. There was indeed a real King’s Scepter here, but was it the microphone that 001 had mentioned? After all, 001 had said the microphone looked ordinary. This scepter, on the other hand, was overly ornate.
The four-person group and the five-person group continued to stare at the scepter without moving. However, at this moment, three people rushed forward and used nail hammers they carried with them to violently smash the laser protection shield switch in the King’s exhibition area.
Then, one of them reached out and grabbed the King’s scepter, shouting excitedly, “Haha! The King’s Scepter! I’ve got the King’s Scepter! Brothers, let’s get out of here!”
Mo Yang’s group and Emperor Qin’s group didn’t move, but around the exhibition hall, several more people appeared, their eyes fixed on the scepter with intense desire. Zhou Api immediately confirmed that all these people were level three players who had entered this world with them.
“Put down the scepter! That’s not something you can take!”
“Put down the scepter, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, you won’t leave this game world alive!”
Players were about to engage in a brawl when a group of heavily armed security personnel rushed into their midst, pulling the trigger and hitting the player who had snatched the scepter.
The player began convulsing and was quickly entangled in a strong net, and the scepter fell to the ground with a clear sound. However, the remaining players in the hall began to sober up.
Even though this was just a game, the game world had its own rules. It seemed impossible to forcibly snatch the scepter. So, the only option left was to steal it or…
“In three days, there will be a three-day Black Obsidian Auction starting at 9 a.m. each day. Most of the items from this hall will be auctioned, including the King’s Scepter. If you want to obtain it, please use reasonable and legitimate means. The minimum requirement to participate in the auction is to have at least ten million star coins. Please prepare accordingly if you are interested.”
After the leader of the security team took away the three players who had initially attempted to grab the scepter, he delivered this message to the remaining players and then left.
The remaining players had various thoughts in their minds. Although the scepter had been returned to its original place, the entire treasure hall was closed due to the incident. In other words, Mo Yang hadn’t had a chance to see the microphones of the three presidents before losing the opportunity.
Mo Yang: “…These guys!”
After being escorted out of the treasure hall, Mo Yang and his group had nothing to do for the entire day. Emperor Qin seemed to have figured something out and no longer followed Mo Yang’s group.
Wan Mei noticed that Mo Yang kept looking back at the entrance to the treasure hall and spoke up, “Accompany me to Wei’s Life Medical Research Institute. I want to see their current research progress and confirm something.”
Mo Yang had nothing else to do, so he agreed to accompany Wan Mei.
Song Kefeng and Zhou Api were left to roam freely. The four of them agreed to meet up in the top-floor restaurant in the evening.
On the way, Mo Yang asked Wan Mei, “What do you want to confirm?”
Wan Mei smiled and replied, “It’s a secret.”
“???”
Do you have secrets from your Black Dog???
