Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

Entering the inner room, the familiar teleportation array and Yongjila come into view. They still look very technological and do not seem to be affected by the external turmoil.

After a brief conversation with the staff, Feng was instantly transported to the Hunter Association branch.

The hall was much quieter than before, with hunters wearing various masks sparsely scattered around, but the number of tasks on the big screen remained constant. It seemed that there was still a lot of business, but fewer people were taking orders.

However, there was no change in the hall. There were no windows and no sound from outside. It was as if I had entered another space isolated from the world.

Feng showed the "Sword Ghost" badge and told a staff member wearing a black and white mask that he wanted to see Deacon Lei. Not long after, he was taken into the association.

After knocking on the door and entering the house, Feng saw Nishikawa Aoi pacing around the house with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something. The Roentgen cat lay obediently beside him, yawning and watching his owner walking back and forth.

"You came."

Seeing Feng coming over, Xichuan Aoi immediately turned around and took a few steps towards Feng. There was a hint of joy in her voice at meeting him again after such a long time. "I haven't seen you for such a long time, I thought you had an accident."

Feng walked to the sofa naturally, sat down and leaned back, saying lightly: "After killing those two investigators, I hid outside for a week."

Nishikawa Aoi followed Shangfeng's footsteps and quickly sat down opposite him, resuming her usual elegant sitting posture. She said admiringly, "I heard you did a great job, fooling the investigator and Junsha around, and finally completing the mission and getting away with it."

Then, she added, "Father praised you highly for this. Here is your mission reward: 500 million Alliance Coins."

Aoi Nishikawa put the bank card containing the money on the table between the two of them and pushed it to Feng.

You can get 500 million Alliance Coins by killing two people.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, we have to consider that the other party is a gym leader-level trainer, and his identity as a league investigator. Once exposed, he will be wanted endlessly, and the pressure and risks he bears must also be taken into account.

Feng took it, flipped it over casually to check it, and then put it into his space bracelet, thinking of concealing his face later. He took the card and went to a random bank to withdraw the money.

Feng then spoke up, "I've noticed that several of the Hunter Association's outer teleportation points have been removed recently. I searched several locations before I found this one."

"Well, the gatekeepers of the teleportation arrays in those places are not strong enough. Once discovered by the Alliance, they will find the coordinates of the association branch based on the teleportation arrays and Yongjila."

Nishikawa Aoi patiently explained the reason to Feng, "Beicheng District is guarded by Hu Lao himself, so it has been preserved. There is also one in Xicheng and Dongcheng..."

"Any recent developments in the alliance and the family?" Feng asked Nishikawa Aoi again.

She is Feng's easiest channel to obtain information. Who else would tell Feng this important information without reservation?

"Our people in the alliance have reported that they are already preparing for a major move, which will be launched in a few days. The family is also shrinking its industries and integrating its forces to prepare for the confrontation." Nishikawa Aoi said with a serious expression.

"By the way, Sword Ghost, in this regard, our family has another task for you."

Nishikawa Aoi leaned forward slightly, gazing at the calm man before her, and said seriously, "This is an important mission assigned by my father himself. Let me first tell you about the reward. It's a secret recipe for training a Tan-no-Kou."

"As long as your little carbon servant is trained and fed according to the instructions above, once it successfully reaches the elite level, its qualifications will be upgraded from Quasi-King to...King level!"

After saying that, Nishikawa Aoi leaned back on the sofa again, looking at Feng expectantly, as if waiting for his stunned and surprised voice as the first step to control him.

As a genius from a large family who grew up surrounded by praise, Aoi Nishikawa is naturally very arrogant.

Even if she meets someone who makes her heart beat, she is unwilling to humble herself and just wants him to surrender to her and fall at her feet.

however.

Hearing her words, Feng just nodded calmly and said "Oh" without any other expression.

Perhaps for ordinary civilian Pokémon hunters, King-level qualifications are a lifetime hope, the goal of a lifetime of hard work, and an opportunity to change their destiny or even their class.

Whoever can give them this is a person who deserves respect like a parent, a big Buddha that must be worshipped at all times, making them dare not go east or west.

But for Feng.

The King-level qualification is just the threshold to join his team. Even the quasi-King-level Tan Xiaoshifeng has considered not training him as the main force. After all, improving the qualification is too difficult.

But now that the Nishikawa family is willing to give it, then of course I have to take it, but I just have to see if I can get more...

"..."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Feng was still indifferent, Nishikawa Aoi looked a little embarrassed.

Why is it different from what I expected?

What I said is the king level!

Although her heart was in turmoil, she still gritted her teeth and continued speaking in a calm tone:

"But as a deposit for the mission, I can only give you the larval, elementary, and intermediate cultivation secrets. The rest depends on your performance in the mission."

The corners of Feng's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and he thought: This Xichuan family is really interesting, using the king-level qualifications as a bargaining chip, it seems that they are planning to trap me and make me work for their life.

"Tell me about your mission." Feng responded indifferently.

Listen first and then increase the price depending on the difficulty of the task.

He didn't have the kind of romantic thoughts that Nishikawa Aoi had. He simply treated the other party as an ATM tool and tried to squeeze out as much money as possible.

What? He appears calm on the surface, but in his heart he still wants something very much...

Nishikawa Aoi muttered to herself, then pulled out a document from her space bracelet and said, "This is a long-term mission, and your mission isn't just about killing people. We need you to lead a team of assassins responsible for assassinating and attacking important figures."

"Lead the team?" Feng raised his eyebrows.

Why does it feel like the nature of the mission has changed, from a simple single-person assassination to a multi-person war?

It would be more appropriate to call it a terrorist attack rather than an assassination.

"Yes, do you remember the Shadow identity I gave you before?"

Nishikawa Aoi picked up the information and showed Xiang Feng the page with the photo of the shadow. Pointing at the picture, she said in a dark tone, "He was a famous killer in the dark world when he was alive. It's a pity... he didn't know what was best for him."

"Father gave him the opportunity to join us, but he always refused. Later, he even worked secretly for the Alliance. We had no choice but to get rid of him secretly."

Speaking of this, Nishikawa Aoi glanced at Feng a few times intentionally or unintentionally.

Feng understood that this brother relied on his fame and strength to take orders from both the alliance and the family and reap all the benefits, but was considered "disloyal" by the Xichuan family and was secretly dealt with.

But Feng didn't say anything. Xichuan Aoi's words seemed to hint at something. On the surface, he was talking about Youying, but in fact, he was also warning Feng...

Seeing Feng remained silent, Xichuan Aoi felt that he had "knocked" him enough, so he continued: "Few people know about Youying's death, so you can rest assured."

"From now on, you... are Shadow."

She opened the document and pushed it in front of Feng.

"Here, this is the list of members I gathered. There are hunters from the Hunter Association, assassins working with the family, and members sent by Team Galactic for support. A total of 6 people."

"We need you to be the captain of the fourth assassination team. You need to be able to lead them to form a team force in the shortest possible time so that we can prepare for future missions."

Nishikawa Aoi continued to flip through the information two more pages. "This is how you can contact them, as well as the names and information of these people..."

Feng watched Nishikawa Aoi flipping through the documents quietly, wondering about the other party's purpose in his mind.

Obviously, the Nishikawa family has formed many assassination teams in order to fight against the alliance this time. Feng's team is only ranked fourth, and the people used are all monsters gathered from all over the place.

The three teams in front are probably either more powerful or more loyal to the family. They are trustworthy people. After all, the mighty Nishikawa family cannot rely entirely on a ragtag army.

And the identity of Shadow...

Perhaps he was originally one of the designated captains, but later he was executed for "betraying the enemy" and was replaced by Feng.

But now, even if he is dead, his life cannot be wasted. His name is still being used to intimidate those in the darkness and facilitate team management.

"so what have you thought of?"

Nishikawa Aoi thought for a while and then asked.

"I can take this task."

Feng continued, "However, I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Add another 300 million Alliance coins."

Nishikawa Aoi: "..."
