Armor Guardians.

"……Um."

Xia Qianmeng thought Gao Fei's words made sense. Since they dared to put the three sets of ferocious beast armor together, it meant that they should be confident that they could guard those things. Moreover, if they attacked directly... she might fall into the trap they had set in advance.

So, it's better to play it safe.
After experiencing so much, Xia Qianmeng's temper has gradually been tempered, because with these responsibilities, she can no longer act as recklessly as before.

Although this may affect her combat power, whether the impact is positive or negative is unknown.

Almost the instant her call with Gao Fei ended, Xia Qianmeng's phone rang again. This time, it was Ye Ying who answered the call for her.

"You heard about the three sets of beast armor, right?"

Ye Ying didn't waste any words and went straight to the point after answering the phone.

"Um, Master, when do you plan to set off?"

"Now."

"So fast?"

"Yes, to prevent any further trouble, we must get there as soon as possible. Other forces should have set off by now as well. After learning about the power of the armor, I think they won't let go of this good opportunity to obtain it."

"Okay, I understand. Send someone to pick up me and Qianxue. We can discuss the rest later."

"Sure, you can contact your parents while you still have some things to do."

"……Um."

After the call ended, Xia Qianmeng did not call her parents immediately as Ye Ying had suggested. Instead, she looked at Xia Qianxue beside her.

Xia Qianxue was always by her side, so she could hear the conversation. Therefore, Xia Qianmeng thought it would be better for Xia Qianxue to make the contact.

Although people often say that daughters are their parents' soft little cotton-padded jackets, after experiencing so much, Xia Qianmeng doesn't feel that she can still rely on her parents' arms like other girls, so let Xia Qianxue handle this.

She didn't know what to do, so she decided to remain silent; silence is golden.

At this moment, Xia Qianxue and Xia Qianmeng seemed to be on the same wavelength. Without Xia Qianmeng having to remind them, Xia Qianxue took out her phone and contacted her parents. She then briefly reported her and Xia Qianmeng's itinerary, just like when children go out to play and tell their parents.

Upon hearing that Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue were going to that chaotic gambling city, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying admitted that it was impossible not to worry. However, they also understood that their children were no longer ordinary children, so they could only urge them to be careful and come back soon, just like any other parent.

If they could, they would have liked to go with them, but they knew they didn't have any fighting ability right now. If they went and a fight broke out, they would only become a burden to the children. So they could only fight for them from the rear.

Hopefully, Lady Luck will continue to be on their child's side.

This time, Xia Qianxue spoke with her parents for twenty minutes, while Xia Qianmeng only spoke briefly for two or three minutes before the Shadow Group's helicopter arrived. No landing was necessary; Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue were no ordinary people anymore, and a single leap was all it took to land, turbulence no longer hindering them.

There was no one else on the helicopter except the pilot. After picking up Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue, they left quickly, not giving the Jin Group any chance to arrest them. By the time the Jin Group's helicopter arrived, they had been gone for a long time.

The Demon City is not far from the Du City; it can be reached by land, sea, or air. However, in order to get there as quickly as possible, Ye Ying, his subordinates, Xia Qianmeng, and Xia Qianxue all chose to travel by plane.

As the largest mercenary organization, Ye Ying could easily obtain some compliant and legal documents. Although Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue's current identities are very sensitive in China, the Golden Group's operations would be greatly restricted once they came abroad.

At least in Las Vegas, the Gold Group's forces are insufficient.

The journey went very smoothly, and that evening Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue checked into the hotel room arranged by Ye Ying.

As for the ownership of the three sets of beast armor, they did not intend to give any of them to anyone. So, on the plane, Ye Ying and Xia Qianmeng discussed the various conditions and matters for different situations.

For example, if the casino really follows the bidding process, that would be the best-case scenario. With the Shadow Group's funds, they could buy all three suits of armor and then allocate one set to the Black Group.

If force is truly necessary, then they must join forces and at least seize two sets of the Beast Armor. As for the last set, they can decide on that later.

Xia Qianmeng had no objection to this.

The Black Group is just a small organization compared to the Shadow Group. Their funds are certainly not as terrifying as the Shadow Group's. So if they were to go through the normal auction process, they would not only lose to the Shadow Group, but they might also lose to other forces. Moreover, Xia Qianmeng also vaguely sensed her master's concern for her. Otherwise, if it were someone else... the Shadow Group probably wouldn't give up an inch, and might even steal her away.

As the largest mercenary organization, Xia Qianmeng absolutely did not believe that her master was the kind of soft-hearted and kind woman who could go to such lengths; there was a side of her that she was unaware of.

Of course, this was just her intuition.

That night, not only did the various experts from the Shadow Group arrive in Las Vegas, but other forces and major conglomerates also sent people to the place. In short, everyone who could come came, making Las Vegas the focus of global power overnight.

Pulling back the curtains to look at the bustling scene outside, Xia Qianmeng couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of money. This place should have been in ruins after the last great battle, but now it has been restored to its original state in such a short time.

Moreover, there was almost no death aura...

Xia Qianxue wasn't sure if the hotel blankets were clean, so she put on disposable duvet covers and pillowcases. After making the soft bed, she came to Xia Qianmeng's side and reminded her, "Sister, the bed is made. When are we going to sleep?"

Xia Qianmeng: "..."

For some reason, she had a feeling that her younger sister was in some danger and seemed to be looking forward to her going to sleep right now.

Xia Qianmeng took out her phone and checked the time. She felt it was too early to go to sleep: "Let's go out for a walk."

Don't panic, we're back, we're back.
