Chapter 787 - 550: Identity Exposed, Trading the Top 10 Famous Guns
In the dead of night, the sky over the Royal star was soaked in ink, as a pitch-black military flying device sliced through the silence, landing quietly on the rooftop helipad of a skyscraper.
The hatch slid open, and Lu Zhongyi stepped out first, his black Judgement Court uniform accentuating his tall stature. Two subordinates followed closely: Shi Hao, with a bear-like build and bulging muscles, and Lilith, slender, absentmindedly twirling her hair.
The three stood silently in the night breeze, speechless.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...
Only the whistling of the cold wind swept across the helipad; the people they had agreed to meet were nowhere to be seen.
Lu Zhongyi’s brows knitted involuntarily.
Just now, he had successfully contacted Qin Tian, who had specified the meeting place and confirmed the time.
But now, a quarter of an hour had passed, and Qin Tian had yet to show up.
This was truly offensive to the Judgement Court, which always valued punctuality.
"Boss, what’s up with this guy?" Shi Hao couldn’t hold back any longer and said in a disgruntled tone, "He picked the place, and here we are, left out in the cold! Is it because he’s used to being a general, that he insists on making a grand entrance to feel important!"
Lu Zhongyi raised his hand, his voice steady: "Let’s wait a little longer."
Shi Hao snorted coldly: "If we wait any longer, it’ll be daylight! Our Judgement Court’s intelligence network has already locked onto Stuart. Why team up with an outsider? We can uproot this bunch of Evil God remnants ourselves!"
Lilith, upon hearing this, curled the corner of her lips into a nonchalant smile, twirling the hair at her fingertips.
She wasn’t too bothered by Qin Tian’s tardiness; after all, he was a super powerhouse capable of slaying a Tier Seven Holy Blood, so it’s normal for him to be a bit pretentious.
However, given the temperaments of the captain and Shi Hao, they indeed found this breach of promise hard to tolerate.
A few more minutes passed, and Shi Hao’s patience finally ran out.
"Boss, let’s leave! We’re not here to be served negativity!"
Lu Zhongyi glanced at his military wristwatch, the hands precisely pointing to 20 minutes past the appointed time. His eyes darkened as he spoke: "Let’s go!"
Lilith keenly caught a trace of displeasure in the captain’s voice; it seemed that this General Qin truly angered him.
The engine of the flying device began to hum lowly again, and the three turned to board it.
Just then, a clear voice, without any warning, came from more than ten meters behind them:
"Sorry, I’m late."
In an instant, the three shuddered, instinctively turning sharply, their Spiritual Energy gathering in their palms, their gazes fixed on the source of the voice.
In the night, they saw a tall figure standing still in the shadow at the edge of the helipad.
The man was clad in black, his features stern and rugged, standing there as if melding with the darkness and shadows around him, without a hint of Spiritual Energy leaking. If he hadn’t spoken, it would have been as if he were a lifeless statue.
Shi Hao and Lilith’s pupils shrank suddenly, a hint of horror flitting across their faces.
Who were they?
Elites of the Judgement Court’s Punishment Team!
Lu Zhongyi was a Tier Seven, Six-Star Spiritualist of the Golden Bloodline, and the other two were Peak Tier Six strong practitioners of the Silver Bloodline, with extremely sharp senses.
Yet just now, they had been silently approached to within over ten meters by someone without realizing it!
If the person hadn’t had good intentions, the three of them might have already been dead.
Lu Zhongyi’s gaze fell on Qin Tian; he had never underestimated Qin Tian, who managed, with a non-Holy Blood body, to slay several Tier-Seven direct lineage members of the Shinguji Clan in the Ice God’s relics and save hundreds of talented individuals. He admitted he was outclassed in that regard.
However, being strong doesn’t mean someone is suitable for handling special tasks.
Qin Tian was part of the Seventh Bureau of the Military Department, responsible for intelligence work but primarily focused on internal military oversight. Dealing with Evil God followers, especially the sinister ones adept at Stealth and beguilement under the cunning Evil God, was ultimately not as professional as the Judgement Court.
So from the start, he didn’t plan to cooperate deeply with Qin Tian; he merely intended to use his intelligence to go through the motions and fulfill upper-level requirements.
But now, having witnessed Qin Tian’s nearly ghostly stealth ability firsthand, Lu Zhongyi realized he seriously misjudged Qin Tian’s capabilities.
This lurking Stealth technique was even more terrifying than that of the Judgement Court’s top spy known as the "Black Phantom" by threefold!
Lu Zhongyi adjusted his mindset, quickly stepped forward, and extended his hand, his tone now carrying a few degrees of seriousness: "General Qin, hello. I’m Lu Zhongyi, captain of the Fourth Major Team of the Judgement Court’s Punishment Division. These two are my team members, Shi Hao, Lilith."
"Captain Lu." Qin Tian raised his hand to shake with him.
He wasn’t familiar with the structure of the Judgement Court, so he wasn’t aware of the status of the Punishment Team.
However, he could clearly sense the formidable aura from the three — Lu Zhongyi was a genuine Tier Seven powerhouse, and the other two were also Peak Tier Six experts.
Such a lineup would definitely be considered a core strength capable of handling major responsibilities within the Judgement Court.
"Sorry," Qin Tian withdrew his hand, explaining, "I was tracking Stuart’s contact just now, which took a bit more time, causing everyone to wait."
"It’s no harm." Lu Zhongyi smiled and shook his head. A few minutes ago, had he known that Qin Tian would unilaterally decide to track him down, he would secretly resent it, thinking it would alert their target.
But now, after witnessing Qin Tian’s terrifying stealth ability, he naturally wouldn’t think that way, instead gaining even more confidence in the reliability of the intelligence Qin Tian provided.
