The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

The man was startled and turned around to find Fang Yun and Wang Hai standing behind him, looking at him coldly.

"Were you lying to me on purpose?" the man in black asked.

"good."

"That just means you were unlucky!"

The man in black slid to the side, dodging to the side, and then drew the sword from his waist.

"I originally intended to just take the things and be done with it, but now that you know, I'm going to eliminate you completely today."

"Oh? So that's why you came." Fang Yun said expressionlessly. "Tell me, who sent you?"

The man in black sneered, "Do I need to say so much to a dead man?"

As he spoke, the man in black suddenly pulled out a rope claw and dragged the bundle on the table over.

"Today, blame yourselves for being incompetent, yet you still have so many good things."

As he spoke, the man in black thrust his sword straight at Fang Yun. However, Fang Yun did not dodge at all. He simply flicked the sword with two fingers, sending it flying to the side and making the man in black's arm go numb.

"How is this possible!" The man in black's pupils dilated, and he turned to run away, only to find a chill on the back of his neck, where a long sword was already pressed against his throat.

"Speak, who sent you?"

Chapter 672 Taking the Initiative

Knowing the answer might not be a good thing for you.

The man in black remained defiant; although a knife was now at his neck, he was clearly not that afraid.

At this moment, Wang Hai stepped forward without saying a word, ripped off the mask of the man in black, and when he saw the face clearly, he said in a deep voice, "You were sent by Wang Tianlin?"

Upon hearing someone speak, the man in black didn't hide anything and nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"Why don't you release me right now? This is the Prince's mansion. If you cause any more trouble, none of you will leave this courtyard alive."

"If you obediently hand over that thing, the patriarch might show leniency and pretend this never happened, and you could save your lives. You should know which one to choose."

At this moment, Fang Yun couldn't help but shake his head and smile, then said coldly, "Do you know why we came to the Wang family?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun speak, the man in black suddenly felt a chill approaching and couldn't help but shiver.

"why?"

"Because we've come here to take his head."

Wang Hai suddenly stepped forward, and then a flash of light appeared, and the head of the man in black was thrown off, his face still full of terror.

Wang Hai's nickname "Ghost Blade" in the assassin world is well-deserved. This slash went through without a drop of blood, demonstrating its speed, accuracy, and extreme sharpness.

Seeing this, Fang Yun lay down on his bed and said, "Do whatever you want to do. I hate this kind of trouble, so I won't get involved."

Without answering, Wang Hai quickly pulled out a large black bag from his body, stuffed the corpse into it, cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground, and then leaped out of the window without making a sound.

Fang Yun didn't care about anything else. He had walked a lot of mountain roads these past few days and was quite tired. He soon fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in Wang Tianlin's room, the two men were pacing back and forth with their hands behind their backs, looking anxious and uneasy.

"Why has he been gone for so long without any response? Could something have happened to him?"

Wang Tianlin glanced at Li Kui with considerable anxiety, seemingly worried.

Li Kui replied, "He's the one I recruited. He used to be a local gang leader with some skills. He should be able to handle those two kids without any problem."

"Where did that person go? There's been no sound at all."

As Wang Tianlin was speaking, the person who went to inquire about the situation returned. He said that he hadn't seen any movement at Fang Yun's place; everything was quiet, and Fang Yun and his companion seemed to be sound asleep.

At this moment, Li Kui also began to have doubts, wondering, "Could this kid have gone out drinking to boost his courage, and gotten drunk so he didn't come back at all?"

Wang Tianlin was also furious. He had said long ago that the kid was unreliable, and it turned out to be true. Such an important matter had been delayed by him.

But then the person who had been gathering information said, "I also asked the brothers guarding the gate, and they said they hadn't seen him leave the mansion."

"That's strange, did they just vanish into thin air?"

Li Kui thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so in the end he could only place his suspicions on Fang Yun and the other person.

"Is it them?"

The two exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Soon, the sun rose high in the sky again the next day, and it was a brand new day. The Prince's Mansion was as peaceful as ever, as if nothing had happened.

Early in the morning, a servant brought exquisite pastries to Fang Yun's room. When the servant put down the tray, he politely exchanged pleasantries with Fang Yun and inquired about whether the head of the Wang family, Wang Tianlin, had slept well the night before.

Fang Yun simply smiled, indicating that she had slept very comfortably and that nothing was wrong.

......... ..... 0

After the man left, Fang Yun and Wang Hai exchanged a smile. They knew that this man must have been sent by Wang Tianlin to investigate the details in their room.

But how could he possibly leave any trace in front of a master like Wang Hai?

It's likely that this person will only be able to tell Wang Tianlin when he gets back that nothing happened here.

When Fang Yun and Wang Hai arrived at the council hall in the morning, Wang Tianlin was already waiting there.

"Young Master Fang, did you sleep well last night? Please forgive me if there was anything I did wrong in our hospitality."

Wang Tianlin had a beaming smile on his face, seemingly genuinely concerned about Fang Yun's sleeping situation.

Fang Yun exchanged a few polite words, and the two of them, knowing it was just formality, stopped talking.

"By the way, Young Master Fang, to put your mind at ease about cooperating, I have specially arranged for you to visit a few places today so that you can have a good look around. I believe that after seeing the Wang family's businesses, you will have even more confidence in cooperating with us."

"Oh?"

Fang Yun didn't know what Wang Tianlin was up to, but since he had arranged for someone to go and check it out himself, there was no harm in it.

Chapter 673 The Ferocious Nature Revealed

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you."

Fang Yun didn't stand on ceremony and agreed.

“Young Master Fang, I have other matters to attend to today, so I cannot accompany you. This is my steward, Wang Fu. Please feel free to give him any instructions.”

As he spoke, Wang Tianlin pointed to a middle-aged man standing next to him.

The man had a small mustache, was short and stocky, and had a somewhat shifty look. When he saw Fang Yun looking over, he bowed and gave a salute.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Butler Wang."

This trip also serves as a way for Wang Hai to learn about his own family situation, so that if "953" manages to remove Wang Tianlin from power, he won't be completely ignorant of his family and it will be difficult for him to control the overall situation.

A while later, Fang Yun and his group left the council hall. Wang Tianlin stood there, a smile gradually appearing on his lips.

At this moment, Li Kui came out from the back hall.

"Patriarch, I believe they won't be so lucky this time."

Wang Tianlin asked, "You didn't find me any unreliable people this time, did you?"

"Don't worry, Patriarch. Even if that kid has some skill, it's very limited. How much skill can two tomb raiders have? They rely on luck. When their luck runs out, they'll be dead without a burial place."

Wang Tianlin nodded in agreement.

"Remember to keep your hands and feet clean, don't leave any traces. These two have become quite well-known in town recently, and many people want to do business with them."

“I’ve hired professional assassins this time; they know what to do,” Li Kui said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Wang Tianlin sighed with satisfaction: "Fang Yun, Fang Yun, don't blame me for being ruthless. Who told you to flaunt such a treasure in public like this? Let me keep it for you."

After saying that, Wang Tianlin hummed a little tune and went back to his study.

On this side, Wang Fu led the two on a virtual tour of the Wang family's silk shop, herbal medicine shop, and finally to the last stop, the jewelry store.

This is the Wang family's ultimate source of wealth, so the jewelry store's decoration and building area are several levels higher than other stores.

For example, most other stores only have a display container on the outside and a small room inside used as a warehouse.

However, this jewelry store actually had a small estate behind it, used for business meetings with distinguished guests. Therefore, the security and secrecy measures throughout the jewelry store were extremely good.

On the other side, when Wang Fugang arrived at the jewelry store, Fang Yun, who was standing behind him, noticed that the owner's expression was strange. It wasn't until Wang Fugang coughed that the owner came out to greet him with a big smile.

"Is this the young master Fang who was all the rage yesterday? I heard that any one of the jade pieces you have could buy half of our jewelry store."

The boss looked on with envy as he spoke.

These jewels are inherently precious, each piece worth a fortune. The young man before us doesn't look very old, yet he possesses such a treasure. How could anyone not be envious?

"It's just some trinkets. I'd like to broaden my horizons today and see if you have any interesting collections here."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner said, "Young Master Fang, I know you have high standards. The goods displayed at the entrance of our shop are just ordinary items, which I'm afraid are not worthy of your attention."

"However, in the treasury behind us, there are a few more treasures. Perhaps we could move a few more steps together..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fu suddenly said, "Then hurry up and take Young Master Fang inside. Young Master Fang is the patriarch's honored guest. If you neglect him, you'll be in big trouble."

"Yes, yes, I'll tell the shopkeeper to open the vault right away," the shopkeeper said repeatedly.

Seeing that he looked a little uncomfortable, Fang Yun said, "Is this a bit inconvenient? If it's too much trouble, I think we should just leave it at that and not bother you any further."

"No, no, Young Master Fang, it's their good fortune that these treasures have caught your eye. It's no trouble at all. Please wait a moment while I go and tell someone to open the door."
