“I’ve said it before. I followed your orders exactly. But it seems like he was not affected.”

“No worries. He is a very objective person. It is impossible to affect him with just two or three sentences. Has there been any reaction from him over the past two days?” Nie Ting asked.

“He made me help him find the three Class B experts who have just entered Africa,” said Zhao Yongchen.

“Then find them.” As Nie Ting finished speaking, he calmly picked up the bowl of millet gruel that Shi Xuejin had placed in front of him. “Did he say anything else?”

“Tonight he said, I know that Nie Ting is behind every word you say. Next time, don’t entertain this kind of trickster…” Zhao Yongchen said after some hesitation.

Nie Ting suddenly raised his eyebrows. “He called me a trickster?!”

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +599!”

“What else did he say?” Nie Ting asked as he rubbed his temples.

Zhao Yongchen paused. “Come, let’s harm each other! That’s exactly what he said.”

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +299!”

Suddenly, Zhao Yongchen saw a bearded man appear on the surveillance screen that was hidden under the counter. The security camera was located 500 meters away from the supermarket, under a bird nest in a tree. There was a yellow street lamp there, standing in silence.

The bird nest was fake, but sometimes, there were birds who took a rest in the nest. Occasionally, there would be bird poop on the camera. Zhao Yongchen was very frustrated and regretted installing the security camera there. But there was no other hiding spot.

Zhao Yongchen stared wide-eyed at the Caucasian bearded man. He looked up and smiled at the security camera. The smile was full of confidence, as if he was smiling at Zhao Yongchen himself.

The smile was wildly arrogant and cruel. It was as if he did not care about Zhao Yongchen behind the camera. There were three Class B experts. One of them was Grier Cook.

Suddenly, gray clouds gathered in the skies and it started raining heavily.

Nie Ting heard Zhao Yongchen’s heavy breathing. “What happened.”

“Heavenly King Nie… I’ve been discovered.” Zhao Yongchen said softly, “It’s been five years since I last returned. Is it spring there now? Africa is hot as hell.”

“It’s spring. Summer is coming. There is already the sound of cicadas.” Nie Ting unconsciously crushed his bowl of millet gruel to the side. The bowl fell on the floor and the millet gruel spilled all over.

“The walnut trees in Liuhai lane are about to bloom, right? It’s been a long time since I last visited.”

Zhao Yongchen left the Heavenly Network five years ago, when Liuhai lane was in danger. Ever since then, he had been alone in Africa for five years. When he left, it was still autumn in the Capital.

When he left the Capital then, he looked back at the city. It felt like goodbye for good. It was as if he was a solitary boat entering the sea, with no specified date of return.

The horses trotted slowly on the ancient streets of Chang An. There was the sound of cicadas from the willows. Under the light of the evening sun, the autumn wind blew. He looked into the distance. The sun set below the horizon.

Nie Ting looked up and looked at the walnut tree above him. The flowers of the walnut tree were more beautiful than any other tree. “Escape. You are allowed to reveal your identity.”

“I can’t escape. Heavenly King Nie, take care.” After Zhao Yongchen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

There was silence. Zhao Yongchen took out a packet of fake cigarettes and lit one. He choked on it. “I deserve it after selling fake goods for so long.”

He quickly pressed the button on the back on his phone. A new page appeared on the screen. There was a countdown timer for one minute.

Zhao Yongchen quickly sent a mass message. “The messaging system has been activated. Everyone, report your status.”

“Safe.”

“Safe.”

“Safe.”

Everyone who had received the message knew when the messaging system had been activated, something had happened. Suddenly, everyone fell silent. There was only one minute left to communicate.

Zhao Yongchen sent another mass message. “One month later, someone else will take over my job. Everyone, hold your positions and remain silent.”

“Received.”

“Received.”

“Received.”

“Thank you for your sincere cooperation all these years. Until we meet again.”

“Until we meet again.”

“Until we meet again.”

“Until we meet again.”

One minute was up. Zhao Yongchen’s phone started to emit a green smoke. The self-destruction process was complete.

He threw the fake cigarette on the floor and stepped on it. There were no files to be destroyed. Whatever needed to be destroyed had already been destroyed. After many years of working, he developed the habit of memorizing everything.

Zhao Yongchen’s face turned red. His power steadily increased. They often joked that in the Heavenly Network, exhausting one’s vitality to advance in class was very glorious in the realm of cultivation. In Zhao Yongchen’s eyes, they were not burning their lives, but their final dignity.

A fake Class B. This was Zhao Yongchen’s limit.

Dong dong dong. Someone was knocking on the door.

Zhao Yongchen laughed. “How funny. You already know who’s inside, yet you still knocked.”

The next moment, Zhao Yongchen spat out a flying sword. The sharp sword flew towards the person outside the door. He held his long sword and rushed out as well.

The red flying sword broke the glass door of the supermarket. It flew through the pouring rain outside. It was as if time had stopped. The flying sword pierced through the rain drops and approached Grier.

The next moment, the rain drops seemed to have gained a life of their own. They rapidly gathered by Grier and formed a shield. It was as if there was murderous intent concealed in this rain.

Grier was all smiles. He stepped backwards. The rain drops continued to form water curtains that the red flying sword could not pierce through.

There was the sound of an explosion. Zhao Yongchen drew his sword with a stern expression on his face. The high temperature rapidly dropped in the rain. As the ground had been exposed to sunlight in the day, there was steam rising from the ground.

Zhao Yongchen suddenly slashed his sword upwards. He broke the water curtain and approached Grier. He had even cut a portion of Grier’s beard.

Grier, who had been smiling all along, suddenly had a cold expression on his face. “Are you not afraid to die?”

Zhao Yongchen said slowly, “Whether I am afraid to die or not is not important. Whether I will die tonight is not important either. I only know that after tonight, no matter how big the world is, there will never be a place for you to stay.”

“You overestimate the Heavenly Network.”

“You overestimate yourself.”

The flying swords flew through the air like flying dragons!

As Grier protected himself, he saw the red flying sword split into two. The two parts flew behind Grier. This came very suddenly. Many people knew that the strength of the Heavenly Network’s flying swords was unparalleled. They could easily kill ten people in an evenly matched battle. This was the reason why back then, during the fight between Chen Baili and Anthony, Anthony had to run away and hide for the time being even though Chen Baili was exhausted. No matter how monstrous the enemy was, a flying sword was enough to overcome them.
