The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

The laboratory quieted down, with only the occasional sound of turning pages. Wang Tang was somewhat relieved that the work Mebius had assigned him was the kind of work that only required writing yes or no documents; otherwise, with his level of education, he wouldn't have been able to help Mebius at all.

Several hours passed quietly.

Wang Tang stretched and said, "Finally, I'm off work."

Möbius yawned. "Your original job was just to assist me with experiments, but you insisted on adding extra work for yourself. I really don't understand you."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Who is it?" Wang Tang asked, puzzled. Who would come so late?

Without thinking much, I opened the door.

The moment Wang Tang opened the door, a sharp blade flashed towards him.

With a ripping sound, Wang Tang's clothes were torn to shreds. The masked assassin was taken aback; the previous strike had not cleaved Wang Tang in two as he had expected.

"Is this even human?" The assassin was shocked to see that his full-force strike had only torn the man's clothes, without leaving a single wound.

Without the slightest hesitation, the assassin fled into the distance.

The next moment, the man appeared in front of him, and with just one punch, the assassin was sent flying dozens of meters.

"Cough cough cough, it seems there's no way to escape." The assassin was about to bite the poison in his mouth.

But he was shocked to find that he couldn't control his mouth.

"You think you can commit suicide in front of me? Aren't you being a little too confident?"

"Who sent you?" Wang Tang asked dangerously.

"Pooh"

"Even if you don't say it, I can probably guess."

Wang Tang gave a threatening look and said, "Go tell those higher-ups that if they dare to send assassins again, I will personally pay them a visit. Understand? Nod."

The assassin nodded without hesitation; no one wants to die if they can live.

After witnessing the assassin leave, Wang Tang returned to the laboratory.

When Mebius saw the large tear in my clothes, he asked anxiously, "Wang Tang, are you alright?"

"Of course it's fine, it's just that I need to change my clothes."

Mebius asked with some curiosity, "Why didn't you kill him?"

“Killing that person would only enrage the higher-ups, leading them to send out more assassins. My main purpose in sending that assassin back was simply to deliver a message to them.”

"If they keep sending assassins, I'll have no choice but to go on a killing spree."

"Your approach was indeed quite prudent, as it both saved them face and deterred them."

Mebius agreed with Wang Tang's approach, which, although somewhat indecisive, was not about breaking ties with those people.

Wang Tang noticed Mebius's worry and gently patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, Mebius. As long as I want to live, even if they bomb the ground with nuclear weapons, I won't die."

Mebius said irritably, "You're trying to make me happy again. How could anyone possibly withstand a nuclear bombing?"

I smiled and didn't refute her.

Wang Tang casually grabbed a piece of clothing from her spatial storage and changed into it. "Is there anything else Möbius can help me with?"

Wang Tang nodded slightly. "Then I'll head back now. You should get some rest too." With that, he turned and left the laboratory.

The assassin scurried back to his residence, utterly bewildered. "Damn it, were those people I made to assassinate even human? I may not be among the strongest, but I was still a top 50 poison master!"

"When facing that person, I felt a sense of powerlessness I hadn't felt in a long time. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."

The assassin then took out his phone and told the person who hired him the news.

Moth Chasing Fire High-Level Conference Room

A man in a suit whispered something in the ear of the elderly man at the head of the group.

The "useless" old man slammed his hand on the table.

Old Wei asked, "What's wrong, Elder Long?"

The assassination attempt that was sent out failed.

Old Master Mo said, "There's no need to be so angry. After all, that person does have some strength."

Old Master Long said angrily, "Do you know what news the assassin brought back?"

"That guy actually dared to say that if we dared to send assassins to him again, he would definitely come to visit us."

Upon hearing what Elder Long said, the blond young man slammed his fist on the table and stood up, exclaiming, "How dare that person say such a thing!"

At this moment, all the high-ranking members of the Firemoth were extremely angry.

"Mr. Long, how about we use that?"

Although Elder Long was furious, he did not agree to the decision. "That person dared to make such a boastful statement, he must have absolute confidence in his own strength."

Although I don't know where he got the confidence to be so arrogant and provoke us, Master Kong said...

Old Mo said, "Elder Long, how about we cancel the kill order against him? Although we're not afraid of him, it might still severely weaken us."

Although many high-ranking officials were furious, they were not foolish enough to completely provoke a powerful figure.

Seeing that so many people agreed to abandon the plan to kill Wang Tang, Elder Long said, "Since that's the case, then let's cancel it."

After receiving the order, the man in the suit next to Elder Long quietly went into the shadows to make the arrangements.

After the leadership of the Firemoth decided to cancel the kill order against Wang Tang, the news quickly spread within the Poison Chrysalis. Those assassins who had previously been eyeing Wang Tang also withdrew from their operations.

After returning to his residence, Wang Tang pondered the future. He knew that although the crisis had temporarily subsided, it did not mean he would be safe forever.

Those high-ranking officials could take action against him and Mebius again at any time for various reasons.

"Fortunately, their target this time was me; if their target had been Mebius, they would have succeeded this time."

"It seems I really need to equip Möbius and the others with some means of survival."

"System, does your system shop have any good items that can withstand fatal injuries?"

"The kind of thing you mentioned costs 3000 points each."

Upon hearing the price, Wang Tang exclaimed in surprise, "System, isn't this price a bit too outrageous?"

"Host, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This thing can withstand one fatal attack, and it can be recharged repeatedly."

Upon hearing that it could be used repeatedly, Wang Tang's eyes lit up. "Holy crap, system, you actually have such a great thing, and you're only telling me now?"

The system was speechless. "My good host, you would never normally browse my system store."

"Haha, system, give me two!" Wang Tang laughed awkwardly.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained two Crystal Chains. 6000 points will be deducted from your remaining points."

【Crystal Chain】(Can withstand two fatal mental or physical attacks. After use, it enters a cooldown mode and can be restored once a month. It can withstand fatal attacks.)

"This is indeed a good thing, thanks system."

"I'll find an opportunity to send these two things out tomorrow."
