Chapter 754: Reeling in the Fish!

Starflame City underwent one of the noisiest nights in its history, but the report to the mayor’s building the next morning said it was only a harmless dispute with some guests . The fact that the killing at the inn was only fake made it impossible to find out anything fishy .

However, an unaware Old Song thought it was because Starflame City covered it up so as not to get involved in the matter . As for Starnet’s reaction, it wasn’t his concern . After all, he didn’t participate personally .

However, one thing alarmed Old Song .

The previous night, Liu Heng had said that he was going to check the situation but hadn’t come back ever since nor had he sent back any news . Old Song was worried if Liu Heng had exposed his identity to the Starnet students, in which case they would all be in trouble . The organization would not openly confront Starnet for such a little character like him!

Just as Old Song didn’t know what to do, an underling barged into the room in a panic and got him worked up even more .

“What’s the matter?! Is it news from Old Liu?!” Old Song anxiously grabbed the underling, his bulging eyes frightening the underling speechless .

Pa!

Old Song slapped the underling awake . The latter covered his cheek with an innocent face, but his wits had also returned to him .

“That man called Bai Sicheng came . He said he wanted to see you and Boss Liu . ”

Hearing the name of his god of fortune, Old Song instantly perked up and threw his worry to the back of his mind .

“Then why are you spacing out?! Invite him in quickly! No, wait, I will receive him myself!”

Old Song hurriedly ran downstairs, where he saw a smiling Bai Sicheng .

Accompanying him were Wang Hang and Wu Chi, looking quite intimidating with their expressionless faces . When the two acted the previous night, Old Song had watched them very clearly . Although they had not used any puppet skills, their martial art ability alone was at the Grandmaster Rank, which was far beyond Old Song’s imagination .

However, both of them seemed to have serious injuries .

“Boss Bai, great work yesterday! My people are not very sensible . I apologize for any poor reception that you might have had to endure!” Old Song laughed and gave Bai Xiaofei a big hug .

Bai Xiaofei also showed great enthusiasm .

“Not at all, it only shows how conscientious and responsible they are . I’m assured that my partner has such excellent people working for him,” Bai Xiaofei flattered with a smile before his eyes became sharp . “Let’s talk somewhere else?”

Old Song grew serious as well . Here comes the main business!

“Follow me, Boss Bai . My room is absolutely safe . ”

Old Song led Bai Xiaofei upstairs . Wang Hang and Wu Chi followed Bai Xiaofei all the way up before stopping at the entrance to stand guard .

After Old Song and Bai Xiaofei entered the room, Old Song activated an origin device, creating a barrier that protected their privacy .

“Boss Bai, we can talk now . It is absolutely impossible for puppet masters below the peak of the Grandmaster Rank to eavesdrop on this room . ” Old Song smugly patted his chest and looked expectantly at Bai Xiaofei .

“Boss Song, I have some bad news for you,” Bai Xiaofei said gravely as his face darkened .

Old Song stared blankly . “Has something gone wrong with our cooperation? Or did Starnet discover us?!”

Of all the possible bad news that came to Old Song’s mind, none was about his ‘good friend . ’ This is your so-called ‘good friend’? Bai Xiaofei inwardly derided .

“When we were chasing after the Starnet students last night, Boss Liu followed to make sure that it was handled cleanly . None of us could expect that the last student detonated their puppet, and Boss Liu was caught in the explosion . I had a grade-six pill, but he died instantly and did not have the opportunity to take it,” Bai Xiaofei slowly narrated .

Old Song was first stunned, then heaved a sigh of relief .

So it’s just that? Nearly scared me to death!

After feeling relieved, Old Song suddenly realized that his reaction was wrong . The next second, an agonized look appeared on his face .

“What did you say?! Old Liu… He…”

“My condolences, Boss Song . We weren’t cautious enough to expect such a possibility and therefore didn’t discourage Boss Liu from going . If you want to blame us, I have nothing to say,” interrupted Bai Xiaofei, unable to stand Old Song’s terrible acting .

“Aiii… You were only helping us, Boss Bai, how can I blame you? I will take good care of Old Liu’s family . ” Old Song finished his act with a long sigh .

“Also, Boss Song, it’s not a good time to say this, but I have received a sudden order from my headquarters to return if I can’t obtain a Blood Diamond transaction . There are other urgent matters over there . ” Bai Xiaofei’s eyes glinted and he stared fixedly at Old Song . “So, I would like to know if the agreement I made with Boss Liu is still valid and whether you are willing to continue our cooperation and arrange for me to see your superior . ”

This time, Old Song no longer had any hesitation .

“Of course! In fact, I already sent them a message last night . In at most three days, my boss will bring people over . He can achieve at least one-third of the scope you want . As for deeper cooperation, it will need further inspection and our boss’ judgment on your work,” said Old Song proudly, his heart filled with joy . Now he only needed to wait to count his money!

“Then I am relieved . ” Bai Xiaofei smiled, his heart filled with relief as well . Finally, sight of the big fish!

“However, Boss Bai, there is something that worries me . You killed so many Starnet students last night, if they trace it…” Old Song was hesitant . He obviously wanted to ask if it would get him in trouble .

“You can rest assured, Boss Song . Before I even started, I had blocked all possibility of it leaking out . They had just come out on a mission, and it’s normal not to have a report within a month . When Starnet realizes the problem, we will have left this place,” Bai Xiaofei recited the answer he had prepared and put Old Song at ease .

“Then, I wish that your business will take off successfully, Boss Bai!”
