Chapter 226: Chapter 185: Harvest Summary, Power Surge

Had she been able to get a rocket launcher for the last Mist Event, killing the Monkey King would have been effortless.

Hong She: "The Spiritual Ability User’s name is Sam Odyssey. He’s forty-three. He has a lot of blood on his hands—a cruel, unmitigated scoundrel."

"We don’t know what his superpower is, but he’s been seen suddenly vanishing into thin air. We suspect it’s related to Invisibility."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu’s brow furrowed.

At first, she hadn’t taken this Superpower User seriously.

After all, he’d already been found infiltrating Huayang City, and the government knew his objective was to assassinate Wang Shang. All they had to do was lie in wait and prepare their defenses.

Whether his superpower was Power, speed, or some kind of Enhancement, a successful assassination would have been extremely difficult.

But...

a superpower like Invisibility was a completely different story!

’If it’s just an Invisibility that tricks the eyes, that’s still manageable.’

’But if it’s a more advanced form of Invisibility, one that can fool thermal imaging and other devices... then things are going to get tricky.’

Xia Yu was beginning to understand why Zhao Guohui had sought her help.

"Oh, right."

Hong She’s voice came through the phone again. "Ever since he got his superpower, he’s been acting more and more brazenly. If he runs into someone he doesn’t like, he’ll cripple them at the very least. At worst... he’ll kill them."

Xia Yu nodded. ’That’s to be expected.’

’It’s perfectly normal for someone’s mindset to change after suddenly gaining great power.’

Hong She continued, "Also, he has a strange quirk: he loves to do good deeds."

Xia Yu: "???"

She knew that some powerful people had strange quirks, but this was the first time she’d ever heard of one like "loves to do good deeds."

’What a weirdo,’ she had to admit.

Hong She: "That’s all the intel Su Qian could dig up. Yu, do you want us to get involved?"

Xia Yu: "No. Stay out of this. Just stick to your regular duties."

Hong She: "Understood!"

She hung up.

Xia Yu picked up her phone and typed in a URL.

A website loaded on the screen.

It was the same website she used to need a computer to access for intel, but now it had a mobile version.

’So much more convenient.’

She tapped on the customer service chat window.

Xia Yu: Find Sam Odyssey’s precise location in Huayang City.

「Half an hour later.」

Customer Service: 2 million.

Customer Service: I was only able to find his approximate location.

Customer Service: You want it or not?

Xia Yu transferred the money.

Customer Service: Hunyang District.

Xia Yu: "..."

’Huayang City has six districts, and every single one is huge. How is that any different from telling me nothing?’

The customer service representative seemed to realize the area they provided was too broad and sent another message: I’ll keep an eye on his movements. If I get any updates, I’ll send them to you. Leave a phone number.

Xia Yu: 173...

It was a burner phone number.

She swiped up, switching apps.

Xia Yu sent a message to Zhao Guohui, asking him to help get a custom set of training equipment built for her and providing the specific parameters.

Zhao Guohui replied instantly: No problem.

Xia Yu: And a batch of portable heavy weapons, like Rocket Launchers.

This time, Zhao Guohui paused before replying: If you can kill that Spiritual Ability User, I can help you file the request. But... I can’t guarantee it’ll be approved, or when it would get to you.

The country’s regulations on heavy weapons were extremely strict.

Never mind Rocket Launchers; even firearms and Hand Grenades were strictly prohibited from circulating among the public.

This was why gun-related crimes were so rare in the country.

’As I thought.’

’Going through official channels might get me the heavy weapons, but it’s a huge hassle. The whole process could take anywhere from one month to several.’

’And that’s with Zhao Guohui helping with the request.’

’Without him, it would take even longer.’

’No!’

’It would be completely impossible to get those heavy weapons at all.’

Xia Yu put her phone away and started driving toward Hunyang District. ’Looks like I’ll have to prepare for both contingencies,’ she thought. ’Pursue the official channels through Zhao Guohui on one hand, and get Su Qian’s help on the other.’

「In the car.」

’Wang Shang’s home isn’t in Hunyang District; he just owns a factory here.’

’Does Sam Odyssey know Wang Shang is heading to the factory, so he’s lying in wait?’

Xia Yu speculated.

What she didn’t know was that Wang Shang had a private villa in Hunyang District. Even more, she didn’t know that Xia Tian was there right at this very moment!

Soon.

She arrived in Hunyang District.

As she passed a bus stop, she saw a man waiting for the bus, kissing the image of a female star with the surname Yang on a billboard ad.

He was kissing it from head to toe.

He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.

He was completely oblivious to the stares of the people around him.

Seeing this, Xia Yu’s brow furrowed slightly...
