Chapter 2229  Dangers Everywhere! (2)

"Alright! He"s just a cosmos-stage martial warrior. It"s easy to deal with him," Guizang Feng replied.

"Guizang Feng, you better put away such thoughts. The prodigies of the Stellar Academies are not to be underestimated," Yunzang Ying warned.

"Okay, okay, I know!" Guizang Feng waved his hand impatiently.

"Let"s disperse. Don"t make mistakes at a critical moment," said Hengzang Chuan. He stood up and disappeared into the hall.

The other family heads exchanged glances and gradually faded away.

…

In the starry sky, more than ten light-years away from Five Burial Stars, a highly concealed s.p.a.cecraft hid in the void.

Onboard, three heaven-stage martial warriors stood in the s.p.a.cecraft"s control room, frowning as they gazed at the display screen of the detectors.

"So many days have pa.s.sed. He should have arrived by now," a stern-looking young man spoke.

"But we haven"t found any trace of him. During this time, we only saw a few universe pirate s.h.i.+ps and some commercial s.p.a.cecraft pa.s.sing by," said another woman with an icy expression.

"This is the main route to Five Burial Stars. He should have pa.s.sed through here, unless he changed his s.p.a.cecraft," an ordinary-looking old man added.

"The information our employer gave us is inaccurate." The woman with the icy expression frowned.

"This is the target"s s.p.a.cecraft. It"s a universe-level s.p.a.cecraft, and very distinctive. If it appears, we will notice it." The ordinary-looking old man opened a holographic screen, revealing a black and menacing s.p.a.cecraft, highly conspicuous.

As the old man said, if this s.p.a.cecraft appeared, they wouldn"t have missed it.

If w.a.n.g Teng were here, he would undoubtedly recognize it as his Devil Slayer s.p.a.cecraft.

These people were after him.

"What do we do now?" The stern-looking young man asked impatiently.

The ordinary-looking old man sighed and said, "Wait for two more days. If there"s still no sign, the other party has probably reached Five Burial Stars ahead of us. It means our interception… has failed!"

"This increases my workload!" The woman with an icy expression coldly remarked. "Is the information provided by our employer reliable or not?"

"If this continues, I might have to… ask for more money!"

"That"s right, more money!" The stern-looking young man agreed.

"Alright, let"s make the other party pay more." The ordinary-looking old man nodded, seemingly in agreement with the decision.

So, they waited for two more days, still without spotting the target s.p.a.cecraft. The three of them decided to ask for more money.

…

Seventh Stellar Academy.

The Qingyan Society.

"What? You want more money??" Feng Qingyan seemed to have heard something extremely absurd, and his whole demeanor changed.

He thought he had found the right people, believing it was foolproof, and that they would undoubtedly eliminate w.a.n.g Teng, especially since the individuals he hired were from there.

However, the result was that they hadn"t even found the person, and now they wanted more money!

This was simply outrageous!

"Your information is incorrect. The target s.p.a.cecraft hasn"t appeared at all. If you want us to continue the mission, we"ll have to take the risk of entering Five Burial Stars."

A holographic screen appeared in front of Feng Qingyan, and a person wearing a black head covering calmly spoke.

"His s.p.a.cecraft hasn"t appeared?" Feng Qingyan deeply furrowed his brows, speaking in a cold tone, "Did you set up your ambush in the wrong place? He might have taken a different route."

"Impossible. The location we ambushed is the only route leading to Five Burial Stars. Other areas are blocked by warriors from Five Burial Stars. He can"t enter elsewhere," the person in the black hood replied.

"That means that the other party changed s.p.a.cecraft." Feng Qingyan immediately thought of this.

"Exactly. That"s our speculation as well." The person in the black hood said, "So if you want us to continue the mission, you must pay more. Also, if you decide to cancel the mission, we"ll only refund half of the commission. The other half is our service fee. This is the rule, and you should be aware of it."

Feng Qingyan felt a pang of annoyance at the mention of more money. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Fine, more money it is, but I must see him dead."

"No problem. Our success rate is 99%," The person in the black hood confidently stated.

Feng Qingyan said no more, reluctantly paid the additional fee and then closed the holographic screen.

In the next moment, the room was filled with the sound of various objects being smashed.

…

In the universe outside the Five Burial Stars, a pa.s.senger s.p.a.cecraft was flying towards the Five Burial Stars.

This type of pa.s.senger s.p.a.cecraft was designed for short-distance travel, divided into economy cla.s.s, business cla.s.s, and luxury cla.s.s.

Naturally, the prices varied, but the services in the luxury cla.s.s were worth every credit.

Inside the luxury cla.s.s of this pa.s.senger s.p.a.cecraft, a handsome young man with black hair was comfortably sitting in an air-powered recliner. He wore casual and comfortable attire, looking nothing like a warrior. Instead, he seemed like a n.o.bleman traveling the universe.

On the side, several charming flight attendants occasionally walked by, sneakily glancing at the young man.

The black-haired young man was simply too handsome, and his unique temperament made him stand out. Even though these flight attendants had seen many young talents of various races, they couldn"t find anyone comparable to this black-haired young man.

Moreover, the fact that he sat in the luxury cla.s.s meant he wasn"t short of money, undoubtedly a young n.o.bleman from some major power.

Young, wealthy, and handsome!
