Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1261: A Meeting in the Shadows

Soon, both parties agreed on the meeting location and time.

The location was chosen by Iron Howler Overlord No. 5, and, coincidentally, it was in the Underground City.

"Could Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 be a member of the Void Serpent Gang?" Kenny Lin asked with interest.

"That’s unlikely. The Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth’s members are more discreet, while the Void Serpent Gang is too conspicuous."

They even had ambitions of annexing the Neon Azure Syndicatety.

Amalia turned to Soham and said, "You should head back first. We’ll stay here and wait for them."

"Ms. Immortal, when will the people you mentioned arrive?" Before leaving, Soham couldn’t help but ask.

"Their names are Rafael and Duan Yao. I’ll have them meet you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Ms. Immortal." Soham said before departing.

Not long after he left, Amalia’s figure gradually blurred, and after a moment, it became clear again.

Had Soham stayed a little longer, he would have realized that the person before him was actually Mo Qingjie.

Amalia had transformed herself into Mo Qingjie.

Kenny Lin, capable of seeing through illusions, could perceive her true form, but those with lower cultivation levels would see only Mo Qingjie.

"Murder and deception—essential survival skills," Kenny Lin clicked his tongue in amusement.

"Wouldn’t work on the Mystic Void Continent," Amalia chuckled.

On the Mystic Void Continent, there were simply too many powerful beings.

Even walking down the street, they could run into someone stronger than them.

Such simple illusions technique wouldn’t fool anyone there.

But in the Andromeda Universe, where cultivators were generally weaker, this kind of illusion was much more effective.

"Stay on guard outside. I’ll go meet the Iron Howler Overlord No. 5."

Kenny Lin wanted to go with her, but Amalia refused.

Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 was naturally cautious—if an extra person appeared, he might refuse to show up altogether.

Since Mo Qingjie was already on Planet Omicron, Amalia made sure to arrive at the meeting location ahead of time.

As she stepped into the villa’s garden, a pair of hidden eyes watched her from the shadows.

"Is that Viper?" asked a masked figure concealed in the darkness.

"It’s him," replied the raspy voice of the person beside him—Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 himself, also wearing a mask.

"The Vanquez family’s case—I remember that was nearly thirty years ago. How does he know about it?"

"He might have heard it from someone else. It’s been thirty years, but back then, we found nothing, and the case was left unresolved."

"Didn’t you say there was a survivor from the Vanquez family? That survivor later went missing—no one ever saw them again." The masked man turned to look at Iron Howler Overlord No. 5. "Speaking of which, I’m curious—three or four years ago, you had information on that person. Why did it suddenly go cold again?"

"Because the trail went completely dark. It was as if that person vanished into thin air—no matter what we tried, we couldn’t find them."

The Erythar Star System wasn’t their primary area of activity, and many things were beyond their reach.

By the time they started investigating, the target had already disappeared.

Even after nearly half a year of searching, they found nothing and had to give up.

"So, do you think Viper has information on that person’s whereabouts?"

Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 chuckled. "I don’t know. But I hope so. Otherwise..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the dangerous implication was clear.

"I’ll go meet her. Are you coming with me?" he asked.

The masked figure glanced around, ensuring no suspicious people were nearby, before stepping out of the shadows—his face also hidden behind a mask.

"Yes. The Neon Azure Syndicatety recently had an incident—Lal Hiran is dead. His subordinate, Soham, has taken over. Viper had dealings with Lal Hiran, and on the day of his death, Viper was at the Neon Azure Syndicatety."

"You suspect Viper was the one responsible for that?"

As they spoke, the two of them walked toward the villa’s garden. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Amalia noticed them the moment they approached her.

The masks on their faces were instantly recognizable, but she didn’t react or look in their direction, acting as if she hadn’t sensed them at all.

It wasn’t until they stepped into her line of sight that she finally stood up with expressionless face, and turned to face them.

"Why is there another person?" Amalia glanced at the masked figure.

"He’s here regarding Lal Hiran. A few days ago, you were at the scene, weren’t you?" Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 paced toward Amalia.

"How did Lal Hiran die? Who killed him?" the masked man asked.

"Does it matter who killed him?" Amalia replied.

The masked man frowned. "There was no commotion that night. Given Lal Hiran’s strength, even if someone close to him attacked, they wouldn’t have been able to kill him instantly. To eliminate him without alerting anyone, the culprit must be exceptionally powerful. In three days, the Crimson Moon Dynasty will hold negotiations with the alien royal family—there can be no room for mistakes!"

"I had already left by then. I don’t know what happened there—I only heard about Lal Hiran’s death afterward."

Amalia dismissed the masked man and turned to Iron Howler Overlord No. 5.

"The Vanquez family incident—I want to know what really happened. In exchange, I’ll tell you the information I’ve gathered."

Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 found Viper a little bit strange today.

"Viper, why are you so eager to know about the Vanquez family?"

"For the same reason the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth values this matter—I want to know the truth." Amalia replied ambiguously.

"This isn’t something a mere Yellow-rank member like you should concern yourself with. As a subordinate, your duty is to obey orders." Iron Howler Overlord No. 5’s voice suddenly turned cold.

Amalia chuckled. "A subordinate? I didn’t join the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth to be anyone’s underling. Don’t try to test me with that nonsense. If you want answers, bring me the information I need in exchange."
