Chapter 1055 - The Assassination Is Coming!

Just as Fang Qiu escaped from the palace of the Truth Division, all the underground forces in the world who were paying close attention to Zhongdong and the plutonium material map received a piece of news.

“John Doe has just explored the headquarters of the Truth Division!”

Almost all the underground forces in the world were shocked by the news.

As a dominant force in Zhongdong, the Truth Division had numerous experts and many strong subordinate forces which had made it into the core parts of the countries in Zhongdong.

It was said that the headquarters of the Truth Division were heavily guarded like a national military fortress.

As a result, the headquarters of the Truth Division were among the three forbidden places. No one dared to trespass this place no matter how big the war they were in.

“John Doe explored the headquarters of the Truth Division?”

“What the f*ck, that’s the headquarters of the Truth Division. How did John Doe get in?”

“That’s impossible. Recently, the situation in Zhongdong is getting unstable, so the Truth Division was guarded more heavily than before. It’s impossible for anyone to break in.”

“Does John Doe also think that the plutonium material map is in the Truth Division?”

“When the Luna was besieged, it had only contacted the Truth Division. John Doe stayed in Zhongdong and targeted the Truth Division after he wiped out the Luna. Could it be that he has obtained evidence showing that the plutonium material map is in the Truth Division?”

“What John Doe did this time is a good thing for us. The Truth Division is so influential in Zhongdong that we couldn’t find out its real strength. We can find out it this time with John Doe’s exploration this time.”

There was no doubt that underground forces all over the world were all paying close attention to the Truth Division openly or secretly.

They also suspected that the plutonium material map was in the Truth Division, but because the Truth Division was very powerful in Zhongdong, the underground forces that were paying attention to this matter did not dare to attack the Truth Division directly. Instead, they were all laying low in Esfahan and spying on the Truth Division in secret.

The news of John Doe breaking into the Truth Division was reported and spread by the spies in Esfahan from those forces.

They were so sure that the person who broke into the Truth Division was John Doe just because someone had seen it with his own eyes.

Since the Truth Division could place two guards every one hundred meters on the street, the other underground forces could do it as well. More importantly, since they wanted to spy on the Truth Division, their spies must stay close to the Truth Division. That was why the news of John Doe breaking into the Truth Division spread so quickly.

However, those forces hidden in the dark did not act rashly.

John Doe’s breaking into the Truth Division helped them more or less. In the following time, they just needed to observe the Truth Division’s reactions and how the Truth Division would deal with John Doe.

After escaping out of the Truth Division, Fang Qiu stopped at the roof of the only tall building near the Truth Division.

This building was the tallest one near the Truth Division, and standing on the roof of it, Fang Qiu could see what was happening in some places of the Truth Division.

Although it was just some places, not all places, it was enough for Fang Qiu.

That was because Fang Qiu could use his Divine Consciousness!

He sat cross-legged on the roof.

He closed his eyes and activated his Divine Consciousness to cover the entire Truth Division, carefully sensing and searching for the trace of the Half-step Guru.

But right at this moment, Fang Qiu sensed an energy aura behind him less than five meters away from him.

“Whoosh!”

There was an ear-piercing whooshing sound.

A black shadow suddenly charged at Fang Qiu as if he had come out of the darkness.

The black shadow held a glinting three-edged military knife in his hand.

As soon as the black shadow appeared, Fang Qiu immediately became alert. When the three-edged military knife started glinting, Fang Qiu felt a chill at the back of his head.

With his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu could clearly feel that the three-edged military knife was covered with a layer of dark and cold energy, which seemed to be evil!

Without a doubt, the wound caused by this knife wouldn’t recover unless the injured person was stronger than this black shadow and could remove the energy carried by the knife.

“What an evil skill!”

Fang Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and channeled the internal Qi in his body.

“Boom!”

As he released his strong power, he turned around still in the sitting posture. He then reached out his right hand and landed a slap on the black shadow’s hand, shattering his attack.

The next moment, he slapped the ground, bounced up high in the air, and chased after the black shadow.

However, the black shadow turned around and disappeared into the darkness as if he hadn’t come there.

Even his energy aura was completely gone.

“Hmm?”

Fang Qiu froze.

“Over there!”

Just when he was confused, he sensed a trace of energy fluctuation hundreds of meters away. Like ripples, before the first wave of energy fluctuation disappeared, the second wave appeared at a further place.

Someone was moving away at a very high speed while concealing his energy aura like stones skimming along the surface of calm water.

“This person used a three-edged military knife. Is he from Huaxia?” Fang Qiu wondered.

Seeing the black shadow running away, Fang Qiu didn’t chase after him. Instead, he frowned tightly.

He knew that the three-edged military knife was a kind of weapon produced in Huaxia and could be used in close combats. Usually, only Huaxia people would use this weapon.

However, it was possible that other countries might copy this weapon.

After thinking about it carefully, Fang Qiu shook his head and murmured, “No, he couldn’t be from Huaxia.

“The energy he released seemed to be dark energy. Only the sorcerers who use Dark Magic would possess dark energy.

“Judging by his hiding skills, high speed, and strong power, this man must be an expert. Lin Rusheng was no match for this man before he made a breakthrough.

“Who is this person exactly?

“How did he know I was here? How did I expose myself?”

All kinds of questions came to Fang Qiu’s mind.

Although he really wanted to go after that person to see who he was, he didn’t want to waste his time chasing this man since this man was fast and it would take Fang Qiu quite a long while to catch up with him.

Now, his priority was to spy on the Truth Division and look for the plutonium material map.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of chasing that man and chose to continue to spy on the Truth Division.

“Swoosh!”

In the dark forest outside Esfahan, a mass of black fog suddenly appeared. A hand reached out of the fog first, followed by the person’s head, body, and feet.

It was a man with tanned skin.

The man was thin and was clad in black just as John Doe. He had a bald head and a pair of totally black eyes as if he had a Huaxia person’s eyes implanted into his.

As soon as the man with tanned skin showed up, the black fog immediately dissipated.

“He actually discovered me?

“How was this even possible?”

Recalling what happened just now, the man with tanned skin showed a look of disbelief.

He was ranked second among all the hitmen in the world, Thomas!

Just now, he had gone all out and performed a fatal move. He had even used his Dark Magic to completely hide his energy aura. He approached his target like a cloud and didn’t make his move until the target was within his attack range.

But even in this case, he was still discovered and defeated.

“John Doe is really powerful!”

Thomas let out a long breath and said softly, “Looks like I can only wait for the next chance to attack!”

An hour later, inside Esfahan, Fang Qiu jumped off the tall building and sneaked into the place where he had just escaped from. In an instant, he killed a patrol guard and then changed into his clothes in a dark corner.

Since people in Zhongdong like to wear masks, Fang Qiu didn’t need to worry about exposing himself after he changed into the guard’s clothes.

He successfully sneaked into the headquarters of the Truth Division and moved around the huge garden just like those guards did. He secretly walked around every group of buildings while he tried to find the Half-step Guru with his Divine Consciousness

Soon, Fang Qiu found that the Half-step Guru appeared in an inconspicuous building not far away.

“It seems that the plutonium material map should be in that small building.”

Fang Qiu nodded to himself.

Given that his previous action had alarmed the entire Truth Division, the fact that all the top experts in the headquarters of the Truth Division guarded a small building in person meant they were protecting something very important. Fang Qiu believed that this thing had to be the plutonium material map.

With this thought in his mind, Fang Qiu did not make a move directly. Instead, he continued to pretend to be patrolling.

He was waiting to see how long the guru would keep guarding the building. After all, since there had been an intruder, the higher-ups of the Truth Division might transfer the plutonium material map to another place. If Fang Qiu couldn’t succeed in his attack, he would only alert his enemies. Therefore, he wouldn’t make his move unless he was sure that he would succeed.

He waited for another hour.

The Half-step Guru finally left the building near dawn. Fang Qiu was sure that the man didn’t take anything out of the building as he had been watching him with Divine Consciousness.

In other words, the plutonium material map was still in the small building.

When that man left and Fang Qiu was about to take action, Fang Qiu saw a person sneaking into that building.

“Is it her?”

Although it was still dark, Fang Qiu still recognized this person at a glance.

This person was Isabel, the special envoy from Anglan.
