Xu Mu, I'm Coming for You

Xu Mu asked curiously, "Who's being wanted?"

"The Black Robe, the sixth-ranked expert on the Death List. He was last seen at a restaurant in Yang City, then vanished without a trace."

Jiang Huihui explained with a yawn.

"You look exhausted. You should go get some sleep."

Xu Mu said with concern.

"I can't sleep. I just found out something, ugh, I'm so annoyed!"

As she spoke, Jiang Huihui grabbed her long hair and rubbed it back and forth.

"Huihui, what's wrong?"

Xu Mu patted Jiang Huihui's shoulder. "Tell me what's going on. I'll help you solve it."

Jiang Huihui glanced at Xu Mu with listless eyes, and black text appeared above her head.

[Favorability +10]

"Last time I took you and Meng Wanyue to register at the Sanitation Department, you probably remember a man named Lv Pinlong, right?"

Jiang Huihui inquired.

Xu Mu thought carefully, then nodded. "I remember. He seems to be the sanitation team captain ranked tenth, right?"

"Exactly, that's him. He's also going to participate in my martial arts competition for marriage."

Jiang Huihui said flatly.

"What's wrong with him participating? I'll teach him a lesson for you when the time comes."

Xu Mu smiled at Jiang Huihui.

"You don't understand! He was always at the Divine Ability middle stage before. But just yesterday, he actually broke through to the Divine Ability late stage."

Jiang Huihui clenched her fist. "He didn't break through earlier, but just happened to do it right before my martial arts competition. It infuriates me!"

Hearing this, Xu Mu finally understood Jiang Huihui's worry. "It's okay. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

"That's easy for you to say! It's not you who has to get married!"

Jiang Huihui glared at Xu Mu.

"I will definitely do my best in this martial arts competition."

Xu Mu gave Jiang Huihui a reassuring look.

"Since it's already upon us, I can only believe in you."

Jiang Huihui had already made a plan in her heart. If Xu Mu lost, she would run away from home and hide somewhere.

At worst, she could just follow the method Chen Xuan mentioned before and directly 'cook the rice' with Xu Mu.

When she returned with a big belly later, she didn't believe someone like Lv Pinlong, who came from a sect background, would still want to marry her.

"Go back and rest. Don't tire yourself out."

Xu Mu said to Jiang Huihui.

"No, I can't. Black Robe is utterly wicked. I must catch him!"

Jiang Huihui rubbed her eyes, and her previously listless gaze now filled with light again.

"Even if you become a sanitation team captain now, your martial arts competition for marriage won't change."

"It's not about being a sanitation team captain. It's about justice. A bad person like that deserves to be judged."

Jiang Huihui waved her fist. "I'm leaving."

Xu Mu watched her retreating figure and shook his head gently. He had forgotten that Jiang Huihui was a woman overflowing with a sense of justice.

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He took it out and saw it was a message from Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

He opened it to check, and it was a message sent by Black Robe.

Black Robe: The information you provided is incorrect. Fang Chu's strength is at least at the Divine Ability realm. You need to add another eight billion.

Seeing this sentence, Xu Mu directly sent him a voice message, though he altered his own voice.

"Eight billion? That's too much of a stretch. How about we just kill Fang Chu and not Dai Dongyang?"

Black Robe noticed Xu Mu sent a voice message and followed suit with one of his own. "No negotiation. Eight billion, or I abandon the mission. According to the contract, I'll refund you ten percent."

Hearing this, Xu Mu roughly understood that Black Robe was just trying to extort money.

He might have made a move against Fang Chu but failed and didn't want to take on such a dangerous mission anymore.

Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Earlier, Jiang Huihui said she was looking for Black Robe. The reason he didn't say anything was that he wanted Black Robe to continue trying to kill Fang Chu.

Now, seeing his attitude, he wasn't planning to kill anymore, so he naturally had no value left.

The reason he had chosen this person in the first place was precisely because of his wicked deeds, hoping Fang Chu would take care of him.

So, Xu Mu continued sending a voice message: "I can't come up with that much cash right now. Where are you? How about we meet and talk? We can sign a company transfer contract. I'll give you a company. You name the meeting place."

After sending this message, Black Robe didn't reply for a while.

Xu Mu waited for a bit, then decided to head back to Jiang City first. People like this were usually extremely cautious.

Just as Xu Mu got in the car, Black Robe called him via voice chat through the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons app.

Xu Mu didn't hesitate at all and answered immediately.

"I'm in Yang City. First, tell me the name of your company."

Black Robe's voice came through, sounding like a man in his fifties.

"Have you heard of the Chai Family Group? I'm from the Chai family, in the entertainment industry."

Xu Mu spoke into the phone.

"That seems right. I asked the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons customer service. The remittance came from a company account of the Jiangbei Chai family."

Black Robe paused, then said, "We'll meet at a restaurant in downtown Yang City. I'll send you the address in a moment."

Hearing this, Xu Mu secretly admired this person's methods.

He deliberately chose a crowded place to prevent the Sanitation Workers from acting freely.

In such a location, the Sanitation Workers definitely wouldn't dare to fight openly, or there would be casualties.

Xu Mu decided to try and influence the other's judgment. "The Sanitation Workers probably don't know what you look like, right?"

From Jiang Huihui's words earlier, it seemed the Sanitation Workers did know his appearance.

His purpose in saying this was to create a sense of crisis for him.

"What do you mean?"

Black Robe asked on the other end.

"You know, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the city now. A few days ago, there was a case of a martial artist killing someone in Yang City. If they know your appearance, it's better to meet somewhere more discreet."

Xu Mu tried to make his tone sound concerned. "I really don't want anything to happen to you. I still need you to kill Fang Chu. If you die after I've given you so much money, it would all be for nothing."

Hearing Xu Mu's words, Black Robe's heart jolted. Speaking of the Sanitation Workers, they might indeed know his face.

If that were the case, he might have already exposed his whereabouts when he ate at that ramen shop before.

"Kid, thanks for the reminder. Then we'll meet outside the city. I'll send you the address. Come alone with the contract."

Black Robe said to Xu Mu. "Remember, you come alone. If there's even one extra person, I won't show up."

"Can I bring my female secretary?"

Xu Mu asked with a laugh.

"I said, you come alone."

Black Robe hung up after saying that.

Xu Mu immediately sent a message to Jiang Huihui. Not long after, Jiang Huihui came back riding her electric scooter.

"Xu Mu, do you know where Black Robe is?"

Jiang Huihui asked, looking puzzled.

"That's right."

Xu Mu nodded. "The address will be sent over soon."

"How do you know?"

Jiang Huihui was somewhat confused. "You're not in cahoots with Black Robe, are you?"

"What are you thinking? I may not be a saint, but I'm definitely not a bad person."

Xu Mu handed his phone to Jiang Huihui. "See for yourself."

After taking it, Jiang Huihui's face instantly turned cold. "Xu Mu! To hire an expert from the Death List through a Night Parade of a Hundred Demons account requires at least fifty transactions. So, you've used the Death List to kill at least fifty people? I'm arresting you!"
