Online game: Stealing god-level items, looking for bosses to purchase goods

"But before that, the Mirror Master needs to confirm something with you before he can explain the ins and outs of some things to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming frowned, and a sharp, murderous aura suddenly erupted from his body. He stared intently at Shadow Blade, "You seem to have... forgotten that you are my defeated opponent. Do you have the right to negotiate with me?"

Shadowblade seemed to have anticipated Chen Ming's response. He shook his head helplessly, "It's no use talking to me. The information I can give you is quite limited. After all, I'm just a Shadowblade. My job is to fight, not to understand the organization's history and structure."

"Moreover, even when answering your questions, I can't just say whatever comes to mind without restraint."

"Without permission from the one who holds the mirror, the information I can give you is quite limited."

Shadowblade answered with utmost sincerity.

However, Chen Ming would not trust the other party simply because of their apparent sincerity.

After a moment's thought, Chen Ming somewhat agreed with what the other person said.

Even the lowest-ranking members of this organization could reveal almost no information. Chen Ming knew that the Shadow organization had only been established for a year or two at most. Based on this information, Chen Ming cross-referenced the information and discovered that something was wrong with the Shadow organization.

Without this prior information, even he might not have been able to perceive the profound and terrifying nature of the Shadow Organization.

At best, people are astonished by the Shadow's powerful organizational ability, which allows them to create such an organization in such a short time, and thus remain completely in the dark.

Even the lowest-ranking soldiers and generals are like this.

What's more, a Shadow Blade that has already stepped onto the path of godhood?

It's understandable that he was restricted in the range of information he could reveal.

After considering his observations and thoughts, Chen Ming felt that Shadow Blade's words had some credibility, so he fell silent and stopped asking questions.

However, the occasional glances he cast at Shadowblade, and the sharpness hidden within them, all hinted that Shadowblade was not satisfied with the outcome.

Finally, as time ticked by, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the empty hall of the Black Corner Tower.

The three people and one dragon present turned their heads to look almost simultaneously.

"coming."

Shadowblade spoke calmly.

The spatial fluctuations ceased, and a burly figure with broad shoulders appeared.

His arms were extremely long, reaching his knees when he relaxed and hung down naturally, and his hands were huge, covered by brown gloves, like palm-leaf fans.

A dark blue coat was tightly wrapped around him, with its strappy buttons fastened, and a gray belt that was also pulled to the limit, making the blue coat look like a straitjacket, binding him firmly to his body.

A pitch-black mask, paired with a strange and incongruous hat, not only completely covered his face but also perfectly conveyed the sense of constraint.

Just as Chen Ming was sizing up the man's clothes and appearance, Shadow Blade, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes in surprise and shock.

"Shou...Lord Shouyuan?!"

His voice trembled.

It appears overly sharp and abrupt because it is out of control.

This change surprised even Chen Ming.

Although he hadn't fought Shadowblade for long, he knew clearly that this guy's mental fortitude was definitely not bad. From the moment he recognized the divine rune, he made the judgment to fight him head-on with all his might, and when he was about to die, he calmly faced his death and prepared to die.

That alone is enough to show that his heart is as firm as a rock.

Yet this very person was so surprised that he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

"What's going on?!"

"Is this person... someone of high status?"

Chen Ming subconsciously looked at the guy who was wearing his dark blue coat like a straitjacket.

At that moment, he took a step towards Chen Ming and extended his hand, making a gesture as if to shake hands.

"I am the leader of the Shadow Organization, codename Shouyuan."

"Hello, Chen Ming."

Just two short sentences.

This caused Chen Ming's expression to change drastically.

It wasn't just because of the leader mentioned when the other party introduced themselves.

It was also because of that greeting that followed.

Chen Ming...

How did he know his own name?!
