Chapter 330 - Awaken To A New World? Part 10



SLIA and the Virtual World Part 4

/*unedited*/

The atmosphere right at this time became heavy. The people in that room didn't know what is happening as they found themselves unable to move. But Green Viper is already shivering with both of her hands shaking in fear.

This is because she can recognize the pressure she is feeling right now. This is a pressure of a very powerful being, a being strong enough to squash her like a bug.

Neither the skills she is proud of nor her powerful speed can save her from this being. So now, deep regret is filling her heart as she watches the calm appearance of the young man in front of her. She is trying to remember if she has seen him before or if he is one of the top killers but she can't recognize his face.

Shin Jiao was a spy so his identity is hidden and no one can recognize him only his superiors and some of his colleagues. So it's not weird that she can't recognize him.

"I don't want to interfere with your family problem and whatnot. All I want in to fix the artifacts and get paid. But it seems that you are a hindrance to that plan of mine. I guess if I eliminate you, then everything will be finished, right?" Shin Jiao said in a cold tone.

However, deep inside him, he was crying.

"What the heck is this? Why is this happening? I don't want to kill people again. This… this is too wrong. But why do I not feel any fear or remorse?" a conflicting thought entered his mind.

"Who are you? How dare you stop me? Kill him!" shouted Guang Hui.

"No! Wait! Don't! Stop!" Green Viper immediately jumps forward.

She became scared at what Guang Hui said. She didn't want to die yet. She knew that if the man truly wanted them dead, then it would be as easy as pie. So she didn't want to provoke the scary young man.

"Senior! This… this… lowly one wanted you to forgive my mistakes. I promise to not bother senior." She said while cupping her hands towards Shin Jiao.

Everyone was dumbfounded at her actions.

"What are you playing at Green Viper? Get out of there or you'll die with them!" shouted Guang Hui.

Green Viper sneered, she is not afraid of the people with Guang Hui. She is more scared of the young man, so she decided to stand by his side.

"You will need these." Shin Jiao's cold tone said as he handed her the two knives.

She nods her head she received them.

"Son, it's not too late to take a step back. I will make sure that you will not be punished harshly." Old man Gui warned his eldest son.

"Hahaha… Father, oh father, Do you think I'm that stupid? I want you all to die!" Guang Hui shouted as he commanded.

But before the men in front of him could react, Green Viper moved in a flash and threw the two knives in her hand towards two men. Then her figure flew and arrived in front of the other two and sent them flying.

After taking the four people, she turns to look at the rest but they are already lying unconscious on the ground.

The only remaining person standing is Guang Hui.

"No, no, this can't be… I can't fail my first mission. I can't be a king if I am this weak." He muttered as an evil sinister expression suddenly appears which makes him looks like a crazed person.

"This is getting annoying," Shin Jiao said as he appears behind Guang Hui and renders him unconscious.

Shin Jiao didn't bother with the incredulous look on the eyes of the three people. He just walks to the three artifacts, carefully fixed them, and turns to Jun Hui.

"Ten million…" he said with his palm presented.

Everyone didn't expect this situation and Jun Hui could not react as he was truly dumbfounded.

Before he can do anything, the old man Bai Hui presented Shin Jiao a card.

"Young man, we owe you our lives… This card contains unlimited credit. You can use it no matter what. This is my sincerity…"

As an astute person and quick-witted, Bai Hui worked hard and founded his clan and made it grew to this degree with his own sweat and blood. Although they are not one of the ancient families in the country, he made it that they've reached such a level that can be of equal to the ancient families.

Hence upon seeing the ability and power of Shin Jiao he immediately grabs the opportunity to befriend the guy.

Shin Jiao wanted to deny the card, but the old man's determined look made him smile. How can he deny something that was given for his work? But of course, he doesn't care about anything else.

He then turns to look at the woman.

"Show your true face." he said.

The woman shivered and hesitated for a moment. But in front of a powerful being, she cannot go against his will. So she reluctantly took off her mask and reveals a young Caucasian female with beautiful green eyes and a gorgeous oval face.

Seeing her true appearance, Jun Hui suddenly turned dumb. He didn't realize that a beauty like her would be a very dangerous assassin. But he still could not help himself to take several peeks at her.

"You are called Green Viper, a freelance assassin. I would advise you to work with them, these two can pay you really well. Plus you will not get bored with these people." Shin Jiao advised as he turns around.

He has already done what he needed to do in this place. So he needed to return and start his plan for the company and the launching of the Virtual World.

A few days later…

The online world once again erupted in clamor as the new company which developed the learning A.I. SLIA announces a revolutionary product. Susan Tang is already swamped with work that her decision to not hire other people was changed.

Plus offers from different companies to gain advertisement rights for SLIA flooded her doorsteps. So she decided to rent a two-story building.

After Shin Jiao had helped her with the technical aspect of the company, everything almost went smoothly.

This is because once again her two ruthless brothers stood on her way and blocked her path to success. They claimed that she stole the core program of their secret project and demanded her to return it. So they filled a lawsuit against her using their money to control the flow of the case.

Even the military suddenly came to picture as they demanded the A.I. to program to be given to them. The threat became too much for her to carry that she almost crumble.

"Shin, I'm sorry… I… I can't do it anymore. They are too much… I…" she cried on Shin Jiao's arms.

"Didn't I tell you, to tell me if you are being troubled? Why do you keep on insisting to hide these from me?"

"I… I… I don't want to trouble you anymore. You…"

She wanted to say something, but then Shin Jiao gave him a kiss. In these few days that they were together Shin Jiao's feelings for her deepens as he finds her very familiar in his heart.

That night, she calmly let Shin Jiao caress her soft hair until she fell asleep.

After that, he went out.

He already knew who the people are, and would not let them have their way to stop his plans.

Inside a military region, a young coronel is talking with an old general.

"So did the young miss agree to give us the data? You offered her the right compensation for this, right?" the old general asked the young man.

"Don't worry General. We can have that A.I. data program in our hands."

"That is good… With that A.I. data, our technology would advance further than the rest of the countries." The general said as he thought of the possibilities.

However, he didn't notice the sneer on the young officer's face.

"Che, do you think you can have your hands on that data? The Black Dragons will have it for ourselves." The young coronel thought as he smirked.

"So, you guys are the ones that are threatening us?" suddenly a cold voice interrupted the two.

The two people were startled but they found themselves unable to move.

"I never wanted to interfere with the military of this country, but you are treading on my plans. If you stop now, I will brush this off, but if not… I will make the two of you vanish. Forget about the A.I. program of NXT Element company and you will live… if not then don't blame me for being impolite." The voice said.

Shin Jiao was hiding in the dark corner and was about to leave when the old general suddenly called out.

"Wait! Wait! Shin… is that you Shin Jiao?" the old general probe.

"Please answer me! Young Shin is that really you?"

Although unable to move, the old general's heart was too agitated. Shin Jiao is like his child. Ever since he entered the military and became a spy, the old general was the person who always takes care of him. When Shin Jiao wanted to leave the secret department he was the one who fought to other officers to let him go and give him another job.

He wanted to clear all the spies around Shin Jiao so he commanded for Shi Anne Li to leave him. But he didn't know that it would cause him to regret this action of his. So ever since he was sent to the hospital the old general always visited Shin Jiao.

But then, when the doctor was killed he discovered that there were many hidden forces in the military. So he kept everything under wraps.

But now that Shin Jiao is here, he could not let him be in danger anymore.

Shin Jiao didn't want to interact with the old general but it seems that this is inevitable. So he decided to clear things today so that he won't have any problems in the future.

He suddenly stepped out of the shadows like a ghost.
