“The fight was just an accident. You know me; I won’t seek revenge,” Hannes said, shaking his head.

Greian interjected, “Let me guess, he’s the Black Phantom who’s been very active lately. He’s the only one among your organization’s newcomers who’s worth mentioning.”

Hannes was taken aback, then thoughtful. “So it’s the Black Phantom. Even though I’m retired and haven’t been paying attention to the newcomers, people have mentioned his name to me. This guy isn’t simple, Bennett. You’ve gained a capable subordinate this time.”

Bennett smiled without saying a word. Just as Hannes said, he felt like he had found a treasure.

When he first met the Black Phantom, whose codename was still Mr. Black, he was only a Scorpion-level assassin. Although his strength was not bad, he was still far from the top tier. He seemed to be a fan of his and even gave him gifts that suited his taste, so Bennett gave him some guidance. At the time, it was just a casual act, and he didn’t think much of Han Xiao.

But in just a few months, Han Xiao shocked the underworld with his achievements, rising to the top ten of the assassin rankings in one fell swoop, becoming the Blood Contract Society’s well-deserved trump card. His rapid growth rate shocked Bennett.

Although they hadn’t fought, Bennett could faintly perceive that the gap between Han Xiao’s strength and his own was rapidly shrinking.

The Black Phantom’s potential would eventually allow him to grow into a right-hand man who could hold the fort, and he wouldn’t be alone. The Black Phantom’s cooperation with the Dark Net was in its honeymoon period, so Bennett attached great importance to it.

“Since he’s your man, I want him to do something for us,” Hannes said.

Bennett refused, “The Black Phantom and I don’t have a subordinate relationship. I can’t order him around. At most, I can ask him for you. It depends on what he wants to do.”

Hannes pondered, “Alright, I hope to talk to him personally.”

“That’s not a problem.”

The call ended.

Virnina asked in surprise, “You want to let a stranger join? He’s powerful, but we know nothing about him.”

“He’s strong. What’s wrong with having another helper? Besides, the things we’re going to do don’t need to be kept secret.”

Greian was the initiator of the operation and strongly agreed with Hannes’ decision. He harrumphed, “What we’re going to uncover is a huge secret. The three of us don’t have enough manpower. I’ve collected information for many years before I found a clue. We have to figure it out no matter what.”

Hannes said earnestly, “You’re going to die of curiosity someday.”

…

When dawn was breaking, Han Xiao returned to the Dark Net safe house. Golden Fox and Ghost Blade had stayed up all night. Seeing him return, Golden Fox breathed a sigh of relief.

“Did you complete the mission?” Ghost Blade asked suspiciously, “Did you do it according to my plan?”

“Your plan wasn’t feasible.” Han Xiao shook his head and briefly explained the difficulties he encountered during the infiltration. Ghost Blade’s intelligence had omitted some details, and these details were extremely important.

After Han Xiao’s explanation, Ghost Blade realized that there were still errors and loopholes in his plan, but he thought he had collected the most detailed information. These omitted details were pointed out by Han Xiao, and he immediately felt embarrassed.

Ghost Blade was originally confident in the detailed plan he had made, but he found that if he followed the plan, he would not be able to cope with the unexpected situations of the mission. However, Han Xiao adapted to the situation and completed the mission smoothly, appearing calm and collected, as if he had completed a trivial matter.

The sense of gap made Ghost Blade feel frustrated and embarrassed.

However, he found that Han Xiao had no intention of blaming or hitting him at all. He didn’t care what he thought, completely ignoring him. Coupled with the slap in the face of reality, Ghost Blade felt very embarrassed, feeling that the Black Phantom didn’t care about his thoughts at all.

“Whether it’s provocation or respect, he doesn’t care what I think.” Ghost Blade felt aggrieved. This feeling was like provoking someone, but that person regarded him as air, not even looking at him directly, like punching cotton. Coupled with the gap in status and strength, it made him feel that his jumping behavior was ridiculous, and he immediately felt inferior.

The feeling of being ignored was very uncomfortable. Ghost Blade felt like he was superfluous, and his heart was blocked.

Although Han Xiao didn’t know the change in Ghost Blade’s mentality, he could roughly guess one or two things. It was nothing more than dissatisfaction, arrogance, and then the discovery that the facts slapped him in the face, making him feel embarrassed. Han Xiao’s heart didn’t have the slightest ripple.

Everyone’s heart is a private plot, filled with childish and crazy things. Everyone will have out-of-the-ordinary ideas. As long as they are not put into action, they will always be secrets. Therefore, Technician Han doesn’t care about other people’s temporary emotions and thoughts, which is more meaningless than lensless glasses.

Whether Ghost Blade doesn’t accept him or admires him, Han Xiao’s mentality will not change in the slightest. If you want to summarize the code of conduct of Technician Han, there is no more suitable word than “I do my own way.”

This is the legendary stable aura.

Golden Fox pursed her tender red lips, feeling complicated.

The first time she saw the Black Phantom was during the manor guard mission a few months ago. At that time, the Black Phantom was just a Scorpion-level assassin, one level lower than her. But a few months later, she was still standing still, but the Black Phantom had risen to become the trump card of the Blood Contract Society in a short period of time, and had also hooked up with the higher-ups of the Dark Net organization.

Golden Fox envied the Black Phantom’s status, but knew that she didn’t have the strength.

If she could sacrifice her beauty to find the Black Phantom as a backer, Golden Fox would be willing to do it, but unfortunately he was not interested in her.

But she could also understand, what’s wrong with a man being a little perverted?

Regardless of Golden Fox, who was struggling, Han Xiao opened the safe and took out the stored equipment. There was no need to stay in Red Maple after the mission was completed. He was about to leave immediately, but his phone rang at this time. It was a call from Bennett.

Han Xiao answered the phone.

“I’ve solved the matter you entrusted to me. Although there was a small accident, I’m very stable.”

“I knew you wouldn’t fail. I have another matter to discuss with you.” Bennett said, “It seems that the enemies you encountered during the mission were actually my friends. You may have heard their names, Hannes and Virnina, they are all from my generation.”

Han Xiao pretended to be surprised, “Oh, what a coincidence.”

“You didn’t even lose. You weren’t this strong when I first met you.” Bennett’s tone was surprised, “The speed of your progress has exceeded my understanding.”

“Are you here to praise me?” Han Xiao said, “Continue, don’t stop, I can still hold on.”

“…” Bennett took a deep breath, suppressing the waves in his heart, and said, “Hannes asked me to tell you that he wants to ask you for help. As for the previous conflict, it was just a misunderstanding.”

“Ask me for help?” Han Xiao’s eyes flashed, and he understood that the mission was coming to him!

To put it more directly, he had met the prerequisite for triggering this plot, had enough legend points, had a high enough relationship with the Dark Net organization, was friends with Bennett, and his level had reached the standard, so the hidden plot would come to him.

The wonderful use of legend points and camp relationships is that npCs will come to you by name and entrust players to complete tasks, and they are usually difficult and well-paid.

The treatment of a mission taking the initiative to come to you is completely different from that of a bitter player who triggers missions everywhere, just like the difference between asking someone to do something and someone asking you to do something.

Therefore, players are very fond of attributes such as legend points, because the experience is particularly great.

“Helping is not impossible, but I want to know the details.” Han Xiao’s eyes turned, and he added, “Since they are your friends, then they are my friends. Forget about that little conflict.”

Bennett was very comfortable hearing this, and smiled very “restrained”, but couldn’t hide his comfort. Since Han Xiao gave him so much face, he also returned the favor. “This time, consider it as me owing you a favor. Heh, it seems like I owe you a lot of favors.”
