Chapter 244: Still Not Successful?
Zijing Thorn turned back and said coldly, "But this doesn't guarantee the mission will be completely successful."
"Miss Zijing Thorn, you're overestimating your opponent." The young man's face bore a mocking grin, "Am I to understand that you've already been beaten into fear?"
"What did you say?" Anger flickered in Zijing Thorn's eyes, "If you dare insult me again, I'll cut out your tongue!"
"Miss Zijing Thorn, as I've said, you better respect me, or else..."
The young man's smile turned cruel as he snapped his fingers, and the expert sitting behind him suddenly attacked Zijing Thorn!
In that instant, Zijing Thorn felt danger envelop her whole body. Her reflexes were extremely quick; with a flick of her right hand, the whip she had kept beside her lashed out, deflecting the incoming weapon directly!
But the attacker had no intention of stopping, flying through the air towards Zijing Thorn with his right leg tense and kicking downwards fiercely!
Bam!
The kick landed on the seat, shattering it completely!
Zijing Thorn had already dodged. She jumped into the air, and the expert sneered coldly before sending another kick towards her.
A cold gleam flashed in Zijing Thorn's eyes. The whip in her hand snapped forward, in an instant wrapping around the man's leg. With a fierce tug, he spun mid-air before falling down.
Zijing Thorn landed as well, but with a swift turn, her whip struck towards the young man's seat!
She wasn't one to be trifled with. Since you dare to attack, I'll fight back!
"Courting death!"
The young man was utterly furious, "Half-Demon, won't you intervene?"
Just as the whip was about to land on the young man's head, one of the white five-star experts behind them sighed and raised his palm, sending a powerful Qi Force crashing towards Zijing Thorn's whip.
This repelled Zijing Thorn's assault, and she skidded backward to stop her retreat.
The fight on the plane came to a halt.
"Why continue the quarrel?" Half-Demon spoke calmly, "We're all here to serve the organization. If we work together and get the job done, everyone benefits."
A flicker of wariness crossed Zijing Thorn's eyes. These three five-star experts were all elite of the organization, and their strength was not much weaker than the king of mercenaries.
"Speak to him," Zijing Thorn said coldly.
The young man sneered, "Try disrespecting me again, Zijing Thorn, and I guarantee you won't leave this plane alive."
"That's enough," Half-Demon said coldly, "What's there to argue about? The organization sent us to complete this mission. The number of people dispatched shows how much they value it. If we fail, you know the consequences that await us."
The other experts remained still, merely watching with cold eyes.
The young man said calmly, "Alright, I have no objections. This mission will succeed, if not, my family still has the right to request Divine Realm experts from the organization."
Hearing this, Half-Demon said nothing more.
Zijing Thorn snorted coldly and sat back in her seat.
She didn't care about the mission. She only cared whether she could personally kill Ren Feng this time. She had originally intended to use the organization's power to deal with Ren Feng, but she hadn't expected them to assign this man to command.
Clearly, the organization didn't trust her fully.
These thoughts flashed quickly through her mind, and Zijing Thorn said nothing more.
"Moreover," the young man said lightly, "Don't forget, I still have an advantage. Extracting information from Xia Wenxue will be a piece of cake."
"As for you," the young man looked at Zijing Thorn, "If I recall correctly, you're still on the Dragon Group's blacklist, right? Entering Huaxia, are you sure you won't implicate us?"
"That's none of your concern," Zijing Thorn replied coldly.
"Seems like we've reached an agreement," the young man resumed his wicked smile and stood up, "You stay out of this mission, just watch quietly, and you'll get a bit of credit if it succeeds."
Zijing Thorn's face was hidden behind a mask, revealing no expression.
"Alright then, call me when we're in Huaxia, for now, I'm off to enjoy the flight attendant service."
The young man laughed wildly and walked to the back cabin.
Zijing Thorn's face was chillingly dark.
…
After spending several days in Wansha City, the relationship between Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue grew closer, and Xia Wenxue received a text from the company about an urgent matter.
So, the two boarded a plane back to Jiangnan City.
Upon returning to Jiangnan City, it was already evening. Xia Wenxue still had to rush to the company to handle affairs, and at that moment, Ren Feng's phone rang.
Glancing at his phone, Ren Feng said softly, "Xue'xue, I have some things to attend to, can you go back to the company by yourself?"
"Mm." Xia Wenxue responded softly.
"Come, one more kiss before we part." Ren Feng said with a mischievous smile.
"No, I don't want to." Xia Wenxue immediately recalled the scene of being kissed after swimming that day, her pretty face blushing.
The icy CEO was nearly melting.
"What's there to be afraid of? You're my girlfriend now." Ren Feng said righteously, then kissed Xia Wenxue.
"Just go do your work." Xia Wenxue said with a blush.
Ren Feng chuckled, his face also wearing a smile. Yes, it seems the revolution is about to succeed, the girl will soon be his.
After parting from Ren Feng, Xia Wenxue returned to the company, heading straight to the ninth floor.
The ninth floor was secured by additional guards, and Xia Wenxue passed through three doors to enter a room.
Inside, various medicines were laid out, both western and traditional, with several medical personnel wearing masks, busily working.
"Mr. Xia, please put on a mask quickly, the toxins in these drugs can volatilize." Someone hastily handed over a mask.
If Ren Feng were here, he would immediately realize that the toxins in Xia Wenxue's body were identical to those here!
Xia Wenxue put on a mask, frowning slightly, "Hasn't it succeeded yet?"
"Mr. Xia, it's very difficult."
A middle-aged man around fifty, balding and wearing glasses, shook his head. He was a medical doctor from the University of Tennessee.
"The information recorded by the formula is not comprehensive. I've consulted friends in the industry. Although we can roughly understand the effects of the final product of this formula and its primary research focus, the rest is very difficult to deduce."
The man said with a troubled expression.
