Samsara Online-Novel

"Sir Yang Tian..."

Qin Lim was relieved to see Yang Tian. With Yang Tian’s identity, he finally felt safe... Moreover, the fact that the mysterious woman with the power to control the water disappeared just before Yang Tian’s arrival made Qin Lim think that he finally escaped from the death.

"Qin Lim, what are you doing here in Shanghai?" asked Yang Tian as he approached the window and looked out, apparently appreciating the view.

Qin Lim followed him a few steps behind and, although he found it strange that Yang Tian was not surprised by the death of so many government elites, he still responded:

"Yes. Reporting... About 4 days ago, my team and I received a mission. The location of the mission was right here, in Shanghai."

Yang Tian continued to look out the window and asked casually:

"What is the objective of the mission?"

"Yes..." Qin Lim felt a little strange about Yang Tian’s questions. As a core member of one of the government families, Yang Tian should have knowledge about this mission.

"The objective of the mission was to kidnap an 18 years old girl. The name of the target is Xie Yao. My team and I stayed at this hotel because it has a perfect view of Villa number 9 in the Golden Emperor Village Complex, where the target is staying."

"I see..." Yang Tian nodded casually and remained silent. After almost a full minute of absolute silence, he asked again: "Do you know which family was in charge of this mission?"

Qin Lim was really surprised this time, so he involuntarily asked, " Sir Yang Tian, you don’t know?"

"Em?" Yang Tian frowned slightly and looked at him.

Qin Lim, aware that he had done something wrong, quickly apologized: "Please excuse my previous rudeness... It’s just that I thought the five big families knew about such a big movement, after all, more than 100 elite members of the Blood Eagle Legion were mobilized at the same time."

In fact, with Qin Lim’s rank, he had no right to ask Yang Tian any questions. While Qin Lim was a team captain, Yang Tian was a lieutenant colonel in the Chinese army!

"Forget it, don’t worry about it" Yang Tian casually waved his hand and continued: "The reason I am asking you this is because precisely, my Yang Family had no knowledge about this mission... After all, it is unusual for such a great power to move to kidnap a barely adult girl, don’t you think?"

"In fact... It’s really strange. But..." Qin Lim smiled bitterly and looked around. The luxury apartment was now completely destroyed, pools of blood everywhere and corpses with a small hole in their heads.

"Seeing what has just happened, it no longer seems strange to me that they mobilize such a large team for this mission... Although I do not understand what is so special about that girl Xie Yao."

Yang Tian still seemed to ignore the bodies and pressed again: "Precisely. That’s why I asked you..." He looked slightly at Qin Lim and asked: "Do you know which family wanted to kidnap this girl Xie Yao?"

Qin Lim shook his head: "I’m sorry, Sir Yang Tian... You also know that when we receive a mission it is always anonymously through a government code... There is no way for me to have access to information of such high rank as that."

Yang Tian was silent before sighing. He murmured in a low voice: "So I really can’t get anything here..."

Yang Tian looked at Qin Lim and said indifferently, "Then you are no longer good."

"Eh?" Qin Lim asked in confusion. Suddenly he felt that he was being watched by a beast even more terrifying than the woman who slaughtered all his teammates.

Yang Tian did not answer. His eyes lit up with a faint yellow sparkle and without hesitation, he punched Qin Lim in the head!

*Splash!*

With a punch as powerful as a cargo truck’s impact, Qin Lim’s head exploded into pieces and splashed all over the ground. Yang Tian’s hand was completely clean, as if nothing had happened.

Now, all the team in this building sent to kidnap Xie Yao had been destroyed!

"Now let’s wait for that guy Xie Feng to do his part..."

Ten minutes later.

*Swoosh!*

The strange woman from before appeared once again from inside the water tap. However, Yang Tian didn’t seem surprised.

"Did you get anything?" she asked casually.

Yang Tian shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "It was as I expected, that guy didn’t know anything."

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Anyway, the purpose of our mission is to protect the safety of that girl Xie Yao. I don’t understand why you wanted to get information when that was not what we were ordered to do."

Yang Tian looked at her and casually said, "I, on the other hand, do not understand why Lord Gu sent a strange, double-attributed Esper here."

Now it was the woman’s turn to shrug her shoulders: "Apparently, one Esper of Earth and one of Fire were necessary for this mission. The Earth Esper is you and me, a dual Esper of Fire and Water was chosen as your teammate."

Actually, the two Espers requested by Xie Feng from Gu Pojun were this middle-aged woman and, surprisingly, the other was Yang Tian!

"How about the other places? All done?" Yang Tian asked.

The woman nodded: "All finished..." A look of surprise briefly appeared on her face: "All the suspected targets in a ten-kilometer area were killed... They all looked completely normal superficially so I did some checking... Apparently, they were all suffocated to death! They all died from lack of air in their lungs!"

"What?" Yang Tian frowned and looked at the woman doubtfully: "They just died like that?"

"There was no sign of battle except some objects lying on the floor. However, those objects probably fell as the victims were beaten while desperately writhing for breath..."

"What the fuck..." Yang Tian could not help but curse under his breath.

After a moment of silence, Yang Tian shook his head and said, "Apparently that guy Xie Feng didn’t waste his time just playing in the past. Even after so much chaos and noise there are no police around.... Let’s get out of here."

The woman simply nodded in agreement. In the next second, Yang Tian sank to the ground and the middle-aged woman disappeared in the same place she came from.

The apartment was silent once again, but this time there was no living being there.

***

Golden Emperor Villas Complex - Villa #9.

As chaos erupted outside his home, Xie Feng sat on the sofa watching the news. It was now past 9 p.m., so both Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue were preparing dinner.

In the afternoon, while he was enjoying some time with both women, Xie Feng contacted Yang Tian and was surprised to learn that the defensive Esper sent by Gu Pojun was him. However, this also made things much simpler for Xie Feng.

Xie Feng explained to Yang Tian the arrival of a big group of suspicious people in Shanghai and even reported the place where each person was staying with total precision.

Although Xie Feng could easily kill them all, he also wanted to get some information if possible. Although the possibility was small, it was better than nothing. Therefore, Xie Feng and Yang Tian planned a quick but terrifying attack on the Qin Lim Team Captain’s group. As the highest position, if anyone had information, it would undoubtedly be Qin Lim.

Keeping Qin Lim alive, Yang Tian would arrive ’just in time to save him’ and then try to get information. That was the plan formed by Xie Feng.

As for the rest, naturally Xie Feng killed them all without even leaving his house.

"Large windmill..."

"Large windmill..."

"Large windmill..."

Xie Feng’s phone, which was on the small glass table in front of him, started ringing. When he saw the name ’Yang Tian’ on the identifier, Xie Feng did not respond immediately.

He stood up and looked in the direction of the kitchen: "Yaoyao, Qianxue, I’m going out for a moment to get some air!"

"Okay, but you must come back quickly. Dinner is almost ready!" Xie Yao said in a clear voice from the kitchen.

"Okay!"

Xie Feng responded and walked out of the house.

After closing the door behind him, Xie Feng answered the call: "How was it?"

"Straight to the point, huh? Well, I don’t like to waste time either". Yang Tian’s voice answered without delay. "We did everything as you said. After leaving Qin Lim... Ah, Qin Lim was the captain of the team that had arrived in Shanghai this time... The objective of his team was as you supposed; to kidnap your little sister."

"Oh...? I see." Xie Feng responded casually. But, although Yang Tian could not feel any change in his tone of voice, he also could not see that Xie Feng’s gaze had become as cold as ice.

"Did you get anything more concrete?" Xie Feng asked again.

"Unfortunately, that guy Qin Lim did not know which government family was in charge of this mission. Anyway, I told you, there is no way he knows anything. It was all a total failure." Yang Tian sighed.

"I see... Don’t worry too much. Thank you for your help."

"It’s nothing."

The call ended immediately afterwards.

But what Yang Tian didn’t know was that instead of being disappointed, Xie Feng had a big smile on his face: "Who said that everything was a failure... Didn’t I just confirm 100% that one of the five government families is responsible for this after all?"

Before it was only a big suspicion... But now it was absolute certainty!
