Top-Tier Superpower Student

Chapter 492 - 464 Mission Start

The mysterious man laughed heartily as he left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xiahou Qingyi took advantage of Winston's unguarded moment to strike, killing him.

Lin Tian stared at the retreating figure of the mysterious man, his mind in turmoil.

Strong!

Too strong!

So strong that Lin Tian didn't even have the courage to resist; if the mysterious man wanted to kill Lin Tian, or anyone present for that matter, it would have been as easy as turning over his hand.

Lin Tian let out a long sigh.

Zhang Ya had always been the greatest concern weighing on Lin Tian's mind, a thorn in his side that he couldn't rest easy until removed.

Now that Zhang Ya had been rescued, what awaited Lin Tian was even bloodier vengeance. The mysterious man's sudden appearance and the rescue of Zhang Ya sent Lin Tian a strong implication.

Especially the last few words spoken by the mysterious man left Lin Tian even more unsettled.

He feared that from now on, the world would no longer be peaceful.

Afterwards, Lin Tian took out the token that the mysterious man had thrown to him; on it were inscribed the words "Murong." If Lin Tian was not mistaken, the mysterious man's surname should be Murong, and he also knew the Dragon Emperor and Nidhogg. They must have some kind of connection.

Lin Tian pocketed the token and then went over to Bu Mengting to rescue her. She was not in serious trouble, just her legs had been scratched by branches, exposing several bloodstains.

Lin Tian took Bu Mengting's hand and came to Winston's side. Seeing that he was a foreigner, Lin Tian immediately thought of Albert, whom he had killed himself.

Xiahou Qingyi

Li Chong really believed him and gave Lin Tian a big thumbs up, praising, "Big brother, you're amazing. Back when I was studying, I never scored more than fifty on English tests out of 150. And you learned a country's language overnight and are so fluent, big brother, you're a genius."

Lin Tian waved his hand dismissively, "No big deal, no big deal."

Lin Tian's words might have fooled Li Chong, but not Xiahou Qingyi. Such a clever person, she didn't believe Lin Tian could learn a language overnight. However, although she didn't believe it, she didn't say anything. Everyone has secrets, and she had her own. Secrets aren't to be shared, so she didn't ask.

The room was the best in the inn, but once they stayed, they found it was basically empty, with hardly anything inside. There were just three beds, three bedside tables, the sheets were dirty and had holes in them, and there was a foul odor.

This place was equivalent to Huaxia in the 1980s, lagging behind Huaxia by three to four decades. Not even a television was available, let alone a computer.

Xiahou Qingyi had no time to appreciate the surroundings and went straight to the point, "Team leader, how should we go about finding out the meeting place?"

Lin Tian countered, "What would you do if you were the team leader?"

Xiahou Qingyi replied, "The three of us would act separately, looking for any possible clues. If we can't find anything, we could eavesdrop at night. If that fails, we can catch someone and interrogate them."

Lin Tian nodded but didn't agree with Xiahou Qingyi's approach. It was a brute-force method, inefficient and risky, undesirable.

Lin Tian said, "This town is small, but there are representatives from more than a dozen countries coming to meet here. The bodyguards, assassins, and spies they bring are probably more numerous than the town's local inhabitants. In such a confined space, asking around and making small moves would easily be noticed by others."

Xiahou Qingyi, somewhat unconvinced, said, "Then what do you propose?"

"This small town is very backward. In the town center, there's a square, which is the busiest and most lively place. Although the town isn't big, it is home to the world-famous snow-white lotus. Many people come from far away specifically to see the snow-white lotus in this remote town."

"What does this have to do with us?" Xiahou Qingyi asked, puzzled.

"It's related," Lin Tian responded. "According to intelligence, all visitors will arrive by four o'clock. At night, there will surely be those who can't sit still and will come to the town square to see the snow-white lotus. At that time, we can take the opportunity to act and see if we can get some valuable clues from their conversations."

Xiahou Qingyi shook her head. She thought Lin Tian was just relying on luck and disagreed.

Although Lin Tian was the team leader, he couldn't make decisions unilaterally. With no other option, Lin Tian said, "Let's do this. Li Chong and I will observe the surroundings here, and you go and inquire. Regardless of whether you find any useful information or not, you must come back by six o'clock. We'll all go to the square and proceed with my plan."

After hearing this, Xiahou Qingyi nodded and then left the inn.

Li Chong asked, "So big brother, what do we do now?"

"Sleep," Lin Tian responded, flopping down onto the bed.

"Sleep?" Li Chong repeated incredulously. The mission had yet to commence and they were going to sleep. But seeing Lin Tian lying down, he said,

"Alright, I'll sleep too." Li Chong also lay down to sleep.
