Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1345 – Working Together

“I… I thought that going back was the right path…” Old Hao muttered. “What’s wrong with that? With my experience, I decided that going left was the most stable. I was thinking of the team?”

“Oh? Are you that sure? Then we’ve already gone right. You could’ve gone back and chosen the left path, why didn’t you?” Lin Yi asked.

“I… That’s because I wanted everyone to move as a group.” Old Hao said.

“Old Hao, you really impress me. You’re so selfless to the point of going the wrong path along with me even though that’s not the right way, going into danger with me like that- What can I say? Are you from a suicide squad or something?” Lin Yi smiled coldly.

“I… I’ve already detached myself from death!” Old Hao said.

“Ah, I see. Since that’s the case, then go die now- since you’ve already detached yourself, it’s fine if you die, right?” Lin Yi said faintly. “Old Hei, shoot him- Mister Qiu was killed by his man. I already doubted him yesterday, but the words he just said made me certain that he’s the one behind all this.”

“Is it you? Is it you who’s behind Mister Qiu’s death?” Old Hei’s eyes were red as he stared at Old Hao. He trusted him so much, but he turned out to be the wolf!

“Old Hei, calm down- why are you listening to him? I could say that he’s the mastermind himself! You all didn’t know this, right. This kid’s actually a Mystic! Think about it, a Mystic killing a Golden class? That’s easy as cake…” Old Hao was getting panicked- this Old Hei was unreasonable, he was a reckless man- he wouldn’t have killed Old Keng like that if he weren’t!

“You’re a Mystic?” Old Hei paused, looking at Lin Yi.

“I say, Old Hao, you’re too good at this, aren’t you? I’ve never told anyone about my strength level, it’s always a secret- only the practitioner Earth class that just fought me knew about my strength, and you learned it already? Are you a master of deduction, or can you hear from a thousand miles ears?” Lin Yi said mockingly.

“Wha?” Old Hao’s eyes were wide- he messed up big time! Yes, this guy never said anything about being a Mystic, and even the people in his industry didn’t know- how would Old Hao know any of that?

“F*ck!” Old Hei didn’t doubt it anymore- he pulled the trigger.

With a bang, there was a bloody hole in Old Hao’s head For thieves like them. However, killing wasn’t something they were strangers with.

Lingshan’s mouth twitched a bit- she wanted to stop Old Hei from shooting, but she had no justification. She couldn’t just let her identity be exposed just like this. All her efforts would be wasted then! Not only would she fail to be able to capture these people, but they’d also be put in danger as well!

When Lin Yi spat out blood and rested for a short period, he stood up, with one sentence, ”I’m severely hurt, don’t do anything reckless!”

And, in order to prevent Old Hei from suspecting him, he endured the pain and came to the tent with Lingshan and Yutian. Though Lin Yi entered the jade space to quickly repair his most vital parts, recovery wasn’t something that could just be completed that quickly.

And at this moment, he was only scaring these people- his strength wasn’t even Golden class right now!

James shrugged, but an ugly smile appeared on his face, “Since we’ve cut out the rat, the rest are innocent- let’s discuss the plans for tomorrow?”

“Thanks, mister thief.” Old Hei put his gun away and cupped his fist for Lin Yi. “Mister Qiu was a bodyguard I hired, but he did help me a great deal before- now that I’ve avenged him, I must thank you!”

Still, thieves were thieves- they might say thanks on the surface, but they still would keep the goods to themselves. These people were all greedy, so Lin Yi didn’t take his thanks to heart. He only waved his hand before sitting down seriously.

“Hahahaha, this trash, better off dead- I don’t have to hide in the shadows anymore! Since Lil’ Hao boy is dead, I’ll come work together with you guys!” Suddenly, laughter came from outside the tent- an old man came walking in.

“You are…” Old Hei’s face changed as he listened to that laughter- this must be the Earth class Old Hao had with him, he forgot about that! He was starting to regret his recklessness.

An Earth class was basically a god in front of normal people like him!

“You don’t have the right to know my name, but you can call me Elder Yu!” The old man said as he looked at Lin Yi. “Young one, you’ve exceeded my expectations- you aren’t hurt?”

“Hmph!” Lin Yi hmphed coldly. “Aren’t you alive as well?”

“Yes, your dirty tricks don’t mean much to me- using explosives? Try a missile next time.” He said faintly. “But with Lil Hao dead, I’ll leave you alone for now based on your thieves’ code. Let’s talk about teaming up!”

“Mister Qiu was killed by you?” Old Hei suddenly asked.

“So what if he was? You want revenge?” Elder Yu smiled as he looked at Old Hei.

“No… I wouldn’t dare…” Old Hei was no idiot. He could kill Old Hao with one gunshot, but an Earth class wouldn’t even die from explosives, what use was a gun? Plus, this guy didn’t seem to be on Old Hao’s side? They seemed to be partners, so when he died, he wanted to switch to their side?

“Of course, you wouldn’t!” Elder Yu said gleefully. “But I don’t know that Qiu guy, you can only blame Lil Hao for asking me to kill him.”

“Yes, I’ve already killed Old Hao.” Old Hei was someone who knew the situation well. He spoke respectfully. “How would the elder like to work together?”

“You guys go and raid the tomb, disable all the traps and obstacles, and I’ll help when my help is needed, although I won’t do anything that risks my life!” The man said. “I want one specific item from the tomb. You can take everything else with you.”
