No wonder the resentment points refreshed madly last night. It actually brushed back over a million resentment points that had been cleared to zero.
A few more days passed. Now only three days until the New Year.
This morning’s classes finished, and the afternoon marked the start of holiday.
Most students chose to go home for the New Year. Even the instructors basically returned to their hometowns.
Few like Jiangnan stayed at the academy to celebrate.
Near noon, the classroom atmosphere was already very lively.
Jiangnan took out his phone, found Big Wolf Extinction, and sent her a WeChat message.
Nan Shen: Hey. Wolf Extinction. This afternoon, do you want to ride my little truck to Rongcheng to buy New Year goods?
Wolf Extinction: (⁎⁍̴̛̫⁍̴̛⁎)~ Could you not add “baby”? So unromantic.
After sending this, Xia Yao stole a glance at Jiangnan, quickly lay on the desk, her earlobes bright red.
Jiangnan glanced at Xia Yao puzzled.
Nan Shen: Hey. Wolf Extinction. This afternoon, do you want to ride my baby little truck to Rongcheng to buy New Year goods?
Xia Yao stared blankly at the message from Jiangnan. She suddenly bounced up from the desk, teeth clenched.
[Resentment value from Xia Yao +666.]
[From…]
Damn your durian’s baby little truck.
You were supposed to add it after Wolf Extinction. Wolf Extinction baby.
Not in front of your little truck.
How much do you love your little truck?
She could not help turning back and glaring fiercely at Jiangnan. “Go. I will drive your baby. Little. Truck.”
Jiangnan: (๐•̌.•̑๐)ˀ̣
You drive if you drive.
Why so excited? So strange~
Just then, the phone suddenly vibrated long.
It was surprisingly a message from Katerina.
Because of the key, Jiangnan feared missing the beauty’s message. He had specially set it to special concern.
Waited several days with no news. Unexpectedly, a message today.
He quickly opened it.
Katerina: Did you receive the thing I mailed to you?
Nan Shen: It’s in my hands. Didn’t you say you would come get it? Are you here? Where? I will find you.
The message sent. But it took over a minute to reply.
Katerina: You didn’t tell anyone else, right?
Jiangnan frowned: No.
Katerina: I am very inconvenient to get away now. Someone is watching me. I will send someone to you to get it. Are you free this afternoon? Where to meet?
Jiangnan’s brow furrowed deeper: Just meet at the small garden by the side of Rongcheng Times Square. 3 pm.
Katerina: Trouble you. Then I will tell her.
Jiangnan’s mouth curved up.
Nan Shen: When we met the second time, what colour was the little tank top you wore?
Katerina: Aiya~ Naughty or not? Why ask me this?
Nan Shen: Code, right. You told me to ask. You forgot?
Katerina: Hai~ Been crazy busy lately. Forgot. White.
Nan Shen: Hehe. Correct answer. Wait for me this afternoon.
However, at this moment, Jiangnan’s expression turned completely dark. A chill flashed in his eyes.
Katerina was in trouble.
Bullshit white little tank top. The second time they met, she wore no tank top at all.
Just his own Pikachu short sleeve from head to toe.
Moreover, there was no such code. The person chatting on the phone was not Katerina at all.
The phone had fallen into others’ hands? Mass messaging friends one by one? Or found through the mailing address?
Captured?
The other side also wanted the key?
Then Katerina’s life should be safe for now.
“I want to see who exactly did this. Daring to mess with me? Heh~”
Jiangnan narrowed his eyes, killing intent thick.
“Xiaonan? Not leaving? Class is over. Didn’t you say go to Rongcheng for New Year goods?”
Zhong Yingxue waved her little hand in front of Jiangnan’s eyes.
Jiangnan grinned.
“Let’s go.”
In the afternoon, Xia Yao drove Jiangnan’s baby little truck, taking Zhong Yingxue, Wu Liang, Xiong Er, and a few into Rongcheng.
The city was full of New Year flavour, lanterns and decorations everywhere.
The group first went to the mall, bought many new clothes. Even got over a dozen sets for Xiong Er.
Also bought loads of snacks, biscuits, candies, melon seeds, and the like.
Various ingredients, couplets. Fortune characters.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were super shoppers. Their pretty faces beamed with excitement throughout.
They walked Jiangnan and the other three until their legs thinned, shivering.
Out of the mall, it was already past two in the afternoon. Xia Yao excitedly said, “Firecrackers and fireworks too. Let’s hurry buy them.”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Jiangnan grinned. “You buy first. I have something to handle. Contact by phone later.”
Zhong Yingxue was stunned. Before asking what, Jiangnan had vanished.
…
Times Square was crowded. In the small garden pavilion to the west.
Sat a young girl in a beige trench coat. Hair in a bun, looking neat and capable.
Her level was actually Gold Ten. At this moment, hands in pockets, looking around, seeming to wait for someone.
Jiangnan walked over quickly, smile bright. “Miss, hello. Are you Katerina’s friend?”
The bun girl’s eyes lit up. She stood quickly. “Yes, it’s me. She asked me to come…”
“Boom.”
Jiangnan’s fist like a cannonball smashed out viciously. Even creating a sonic boom.
Direct hit to the young girl’s abdomen.
Wild power poured out like a flood beast, bending her body into a “C°” shape.
The young girl’s eyes bulged. A mouthful of sour water mixed with blood surged out.
[Resentment value from Shinjo Nanako +1000.]
Jiangnan’s brow furrowed deeply. No mercy in his strike. One hand grabbed her head, slammed it hard against the concrete pillar.
“Bang.”
Head bleeding profusely. Blood dripping. But her hands glowed green.
“Damn you. You…”
Dry withered branches from around wrapped over rapidly.
However, at this moment, Jiangnan had pulled out the life-taking big green stick, directly cracking her open. Her body limply collapsed.
The whole process took just over a second. Nanako was already crippled.
Just then, the concrete ground sank sharply, locking Jiangnan’s feet.
An uncle walking on the garden path suddenly lunged to kill. His cultivation Platinum One.
Jiangnan sneered. “One for contact, one for backup. Quite professional.”
The middle-aged uncle’s face ferocious. “Mere Gold Three dares act? Courting death. Hand over the thing…”
Before he finished, Jiangnan’s figure vanished from his sight.
The middle-aged uncle’s eyes widened. “Teleport? Spa…”
“Thud.”
Jiangnan behind him smashed down with a big green stick bottle. The middle-aged uncle collapsed.
[Resentment value from Kato Kitagang +1000.]
Jiangnan’s brow deeply furrowed.
“Rainbow Country people? How so chaotic?”
At first it was the US Star Shield Bureau. Now Rainbow Country people popping up?
Jiangnan was putting spirit-binding handcuffs on Kato.
Suddenly looked up.
In the Times Square direction, a girl sharply turned her gaze.
Jiangnan teleported over without thinking. But the person had vanished into the bustling crowd.
“Contact? Backup? And a watcher?”
“Careless. Should have flashed them all at once.”
But good thing he had two in hand.
Returning to the small garden, Jiangnan cuffed both, shouldered them, and teleported away.
Under a deserted overpass.
Kato and Nanako looked in horror at the smiling Jiangnan squatting before them.
Holding a small dagger. “Talk. Confess directly or go through the process?”
Kato’s lips pale. “Nan Shen Jiangnan? How is it you? Damn.”
Jiangnan raised a brow. “Oh? My fame is big? Even Rainbow Country knows about me?”
Kato smiled bitterly. “How could they not.”
Worldwide space types are just a few.
And Jiangnan’s fame is terrifying. Even Dracula fell to him.
Nanako face full of blood, eyes venomous. “You better let me go. Sakura Group won’t spare you. You actually… ah!!!”
The sharp dagger stabbed into her abdomen, twisting back and forth. Screams echoed far.
“You will die horribly.”
[From Shinjo Nanako…]
Jiangnan’s smile still bright. “Have to go through the process? This is new clothes. Do not want to dirty them.”
Kato’s face ashen. “I will talk. We are from Sakura Group. Long-term lurking here handling tasks for the organisation.”
“Today noon suddenly received orders from above to get the thing from you. Get it, if possible handle it, if not forget it.”
“Really know nothing else.”
Jiangnan frowned. So just two small fries. Cannon fodder.
Then pulled out another life-taking big green stick, poured it into Kato.
To prevent lies, asked again under 100% truth effect.
Jiangnan stood, face worried.
From these two, no info about Katerina at all.
Sakura Group is cautious enough.
Kato trembled. “You… let me go. We two are small fry. Did no bad things. All from above…”
Jiangnan: “Void Black Hole.”
A snap. Suction erupted. The two compressed into black beads without doubt. No trace left at scene.
Jiangnan casually tossed them into the river.
No bad things? Fooling ghosts.
Lurking here, who knows what they did. Not kill and leave to breed?
Jiangnan no hesitation. Called Mountain Cat.
“Mountain Meow sister. Do you know about Sakura Group?”
Mountain Cat stunned. “Yes, a Rainbow Country spirit warrior organisation. Very influential internationally. Why ask?”
Jiangnan: “A friend of mine probably captured by them. Katerina. You should know. Met in Suka.”
Mountain Cat’s expression sank. “Xiaonan, do not be impulsive. I will use resources here to check. Notify you later.”
“Do not leave the country. Absolutely do not go to Rainbow Country alone. Sakura Group’s leader is Diamond peak space type. You will suffer.”
Jiangnan stunned. Sakura Group’s leader also space type? High level too.
Interesting.
“Okay. Wait for your news.”
Hanging up, Jiangnan wiped his nose. For now, all he could do was wait for news. He was completely in the dark.
The key in his hands. Sakura Group cannot get it, so will not harm Katerina’s life.
This was Jiangnan’s only bargaining chip.
Found Zhong Yingxue and the others along the way. Jiangnan dumbfounded.
At this moment, the Unimog truck bed loaded full with firecrackers and fireworks, piled into a small mountain.
Xia Yao standing on top tying straps.
Jiangnan eyes wide. “Are you planning to blow up the entire Pioneer Academy on New Year’s Day?”
Is this a mistake? Buy so many?
