No wonder Xiaolan is shy.

"What is it? Do you need any help?" Eri asked again.

Chu Zhong said in a relaxed tone, "It's just a small problem, it should be resolved soon, Sister Fei, don't worry."

"Then be careful," Eri Kisaki reminded him, then chuckled, "I'll help Ran get cleaned up~ I'll wait for you..."

beep--!

Before I could finish speaking, the phone was hung up.

Ran was probably too shy because Eri had teased her...

Chu Zhong couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

She also sensed the hidden flirtatious undertone in Eri's words; on the surface, she was talking about Ran, but in reality, she was talking about herself.

Chu Zhong originally planned to fulfill his promise to Eri tonight, but things happened suddenly, and it concerned Miyano Akemi's life, so he couldn't ignore it.

Hidden Mission: "Assassinate Akemi Miyano"

[Mission Requirements: Assassinate Miyano Akemi within fifteen days. You can obtain the target's location once per day.]

[Mission Rewards: 1 billion yen, "Letter of Recommendation from the Raven Organization"]

This is a hidden quest activated after obtaining an item from defeating Gin in the Bandage Manor instance last time.

[Mission remaining time: 37 hour and 48 minutes]

Chu Zhong had ignored this task until today, but unexpectedly it came in handy.

[Target location obtained, remaining location attempts for today: 0]

As the notification sound rang, Chu Zhong immediately received an address.

at dusk,

Wearing a disguise mask, Chu Zhong took a taxi to a residential area on the outskirts of Mihua City.

After strolling around the residential area, I went straight to an apartment building, took the elevator, and arrived at the door of room 906 on the ninth floor.

It was also at this time...

[Activate the large-scale multiplayer dungeon "Crimson Pursuit Order"?]

It's a large-scale dungeon?!

[Dungeon Difficulty: Boss Level, Activation Requirement: 20000 Spirit Essence]

Activating a small multiplayer dungeon only costs 3000 Spirit Essence, but this large dungeon costs a whopping 2 Spirit Essence...

However, the rewards for large-scale dungeons are definitely more generous!

[Core Mission: Protect Akemi Miyano for 48 hours]

[Note: The death of the target will be synchronized with reality.]

Upon seeing the task requirements, Chu Zhong immediately and without hesitation chose to activate it.

Even without this instance, he was prepared to save Miyano Akemi. Now that there are rewards for completing the instance, there's no reason for him to refuse.

[Note: This instance conflicts with the existing hidden quest 'Assassinate Miyano Akemi'. Activating the instance will automatically cancel the hidden quest. Are you sure?]

Sure!

[Deducting 2 Spirit Essence, dungeon scene construction in progress...]

Current Spiritual Energy: 102700

[Current dungeon item restrictions: None]

Similar to the hot spring instance, Chu Zhong couldn't sense any changes in his surroundings during this instance's construction.

dong dong dong-

Chu Zhong knocked on the door of room 906 and then slipped a note under the door.

A full half minute passed, and still no one opened the door.

Jingle Bell--!

Instead, Chu Zhong's phone rang.

Upon answering the phone, Chu Zhong said, "It really is me, Mingmei, open the door quickly."

Click——

Only then did the sound of the door being unlocked be heard.

Chu Zhong pushed the door open and entered, closing it behind him, and pulled Miyano Akemi's hand to walk inside.

"How did you know I was here? And your face..."

Akemi Miyano kept asking questions.

This is a room she secretly rented under a false name and rarely comes here. How did Chu Zhong find her?

And Chu Zhong's face... If it weren't for Miyano Akemi calling to verify according to the message on the note, she wouldn't have believed that the person in front of her was him.

“Not only do I know, but the organization also knows you’re hiding here.”

Chu Zhong quickly said, "They're all lying in ambush outside... You've already fallen into Gin's trap."

He had previously taken a walk around the residential area and noticed several faint crow scents lurking in the shadows.

"As for my face... it's just a disguise."

As Chu Zhong spoke, he removed his mask, revealing his true face. "There are masters of disguise in the organization; they can not only fake appearances, but even voices..."

"For example, the phone call you received a few days ago, falsely claiming to be from your sister."

After being bombarded with information, Akemi Miyano was somewhat bewildered: "How is this possible... that was clearly Shiho's voice..."

Chu Zhong raised the disguise mask in his hand, "You wouldn't even recognize me if you saw me in person, let alone after a phone call?"

Akemi Miyano paused for a moment, "But maybe it really is..."

Chu Zhong didn't argue with her, and asked, "I just got back from my trip... You planned and participated in the robbery this morning, didn't you?"

Akemi Miyano nodded. "The plan was a success... It's a pity the money was stolen by the accomplice who was driving..."

"Forget about the money, escaping is the priority," Chu Zhong urged. "Pack your things and leave with me right now."

Akemi Miyano refused: "No! I've already made an agreement with Gin to exchange money for my sister tomorrow night."

“That’s a trap…” Chu Zhong frowned slightly, noticing that Miyano Akemi seemed to have some difficulty understanding human speech.

Akemi Miyano reiterated, "Impossible! If it were a trap, Gin wouldn't have proposed such an outrageous figure as one billion yen."

"..." Chu Zhong didn't know how to explain for a moment.

The relationship between Drug A and the organization, and between Shiho Miyano and Drug A, cannot be measured in monetary terms...

However, the story about Drug A is too absurd; even if Miyano Akemi told her, she wouldn't believe it.

Chu Zhong then changed his tune: "Do you think the organization won't do anything to you before they get the money?"

"Do you really think someone like Gin would keep his promise?"

Akemi Miyano didn't respond. Her expression grew cold, and she crossed her arms, looking somewhat distant. She glanced to the side and said, "If you want to help, let's go find that money together. Don't say anything useless."

He still stubbornly believes that as long as he gets 1 billion yen, he can rescue his sister, Shiho Miyano.

"..."

Looking at the stubbornness on her face, Chu Zhong remained silent for a while before suddenly saying, "Mingmei, I like you."

Akemi Miyano froze, staring at him with wide eyes.

With a hint of disbelief and surprise.

A confession without any preamble or warning.

With just a few simple words, Akemi Miyano could clearly feel the love and longing he expressed for her in his words.

"Aminmei, I like you,"

Chu Zhong repeated himself, adding, "Trust me, I'm here to help you!"

The affection and care in my heart are conveyed once again through the title.

Akemi Miyano's gaze was complex, her expression shifting several times before finally settling on shame and indignation: "I have no time to talk to you about love and romance right now..."

"I'll say it again, if you really want to help me, find that money!"

Chu Zhong's overly sincere gaze momentarily distracted her, causing her to start thinking about love.

The sound of her younger sister's trembling sobs on the phone a few days ago was still fresh in her mind, breaking Miyano Akemi's heart. Now, because of a confession, she almost forgot that her sister was still suffering?!

"..."

Chu Zhong looked at Miyano Akemi, who was still unable to persuade him, and felt helpless.

Just when the two were at an impasse, neither able to persuade the other.

Click——!

The door was suddenly opened with a key.

bang——

Immediately afterwards, two burly men with guns rushed in and, without saying a word, raised their guns and aimed.

"?!" Miyano Akemi was startled, and her right hand instinctively reached for her handbag.

But before she could reach the pistol in the bag, Chu Zhong had already shielded her behind him.

boom!boom!

Two burly men simultaneously pulled the trigger, and a gunshot rang out...

Chapter 168 Outrageous Destructive Power, Wiping Them All Out

clang! clang!

After the gunshot, there were two slight metallic clanging and cracking sounds.

-30, -30

Chu Zhong felt a burning pain in his legs as the bullet pierced his armor and embedded itself in his flesh. His legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.

With 190 health points, in the blink of an eye, only 130 remained.

[Golden Body Leggings durability reduced by 20%, current durability: 60%]

Hearing the system notification, Chu Zhong couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

I originally intended to conserve my mana and rely on the high defense of my golden body armor to block the bullets, but unfortunately, the opponent aimed at my leg guards, which weren't fully upgraded and had the lowest defense...

Instead of aiming for vital organs, they shot him in the leg... Were they planning to capture him alive?

"Police! Don't move!"

Two burly men with guns shouted and were about to rush forward.

The word "police" made Akemi Miyano pause in her hand, which was about to reach for her gun.

The next moment, the forward momentum came to a complete standstill.

boom!boom!

Despite the pain, Chu Zhong stepped forward, snatched the guns from the two men, and fired a shot into each of their heads.

-300! -300!

The golden light dissipated, the immobilization ended, and the two were shot through the head, two critical hit damage numbers appeared, and they both fell to the ground, dead beyond any doubt.

"You...how could you kill them?!"

Akemi Miyano's eyes widened in disbelief: "They're police officers!"

"Do you really believe they're police officers?" Chu Zhong retorted.

Police officers typically use revolvers as their sidearms, but these two were not. Moreover, they had a faint scent of crows, clearly indicating they were members of an organization.
