Chapter 323: We''re The ck And White Shade!
"What the hell are you guys?" Yaeger ced one hand on her hip and raised her head slightly, asking grimly.
There were two people in front of her. One ck and one white. The ck one was around 1.85 meter in height. They wore a ck mask and were covered in ck attire, they seemed to be male based on their muscture.
The white one was about 1.6 meters in height. They wore a white mask and were covered in snow-white attire. Even their hair was terrifyingly white. They were most probably female based on their muscture alone.
"I am ck Shade!"
"I am White Shade!" Both of them spoke simultaneously.
"We''re here to reap your pathetic life!"
Their voices were unusual, sounding like mechanical gears grinding against one another. It was simply ominous. It didn''t sound like it came from a human being.
"ck and White Shade? Interesting." Yaeger smirked as she extended her aura. Yet, that smirk seemed chilling.
<em>Whoosh!</em> Both figures pounced at the same time. ck and white cooperated deftly and punched from different directions, aiming straight at Yaeger''s weak-points. Just as the ck and White Shade''s fists were about tond on her, her exuded aura instantly formed into tentacles and iled wildly.
Within an instant, they were smacked hundreds of times. The powerful impact instantly sent them flying. But strangely, both of them didn''t make any noise despite receiving such powerful attacks, as if those strikes thatnded on their bodies were nothing to them.
"The sensation''s a little weird and the aura''s not right either. Indeed, both of you aren''t humans at all. No, you''re not even living beings."
Yaeger already realized that something was wrong with them the moment they met. She felt no lifeforce on them. However, it wasn''t right to say that they were actually ghosts. Although they proim themselves to be the ck and White Shade, there were still microscopic amounts of human traces on them. They obviously weren''t actual shades.
No. It was an entirely different thing to prove whether ghosts actually existed.
"Chatans." Yaeger could vaguely guess their true identities. "It''s disgraceful to conceal yourself. Juste out if you dare!"
Since both of these things weren''t humans or ghosts, it meant that someone was controlling them! Indeed. The ck and White Shade were just puppets!
"Huehuehuehuehue!" White Shadended on the ground and an ominousugh escaped its mask. "As expected of the Princess. You uncovered my disguise straightaway."
ck Shade alsonded on the ground and took a few steps back before stabilizing itself. The same ominousugh came out of its mask. "Huehuehuehuehue! Unfortunately, I''m not a gentleman nor an honorable person. I''m also a coward. So I won''t show myself. Why don''t youe and beat me up if you can?"
"So you''re not showing yourself? Then I''ll just smash your toys." Yaeger picked up a scrapped car with her tentacle and tossed it towards ck Shade.
It was very fast.
"You''re too slow!" However, ck Shade simply tipped its toes and dodged the projectile by bending its body.
"I think so too!" Suddenly, a voice was heard behind it.
Immediately, ck Shade was sent flying like a cannonball. There was a figure on its original spot who retracted her slender leg. Then, she nced at White Shade and instantly unleashed a long, thick, and semi-transparent fox tail.
<em>Bang!</em>
As if being mmed by a bulldozer, White Shade was sent flying and spun around in mid-air.
"I didn''t expect for you two to be so sturdy." With those attacks, Yaeger could tell that they were incredibly robust and damage-resistant.
White Shadended on the ground gracefully while ck Shade tumbled about before getting up. Both of them seemed like they weren''t damaged at all.
"I still have things to do. I won''t be ying with you." As she spoke, Yaeger pulled something that was covered with cloth from her purse.
It seemed like a dagger, and it was indeed one. The fabric fell off and arge dagger was revealed. This was the trophy she gained after killing Viper. It was a quality product.
Seeing that Yaeger had taken out a weapon, ck and White Shade looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. Then they ran away.
ck Shade said, "Princess, you''ll get youreuppance sooner orter!"
White Shade said, "we will meet again!"
They definitely could shrug off a beating, however, it didn''t mean that they could shrug off Yaeger''s flying dagger. Being punch-resistant and pierce-resistant were two entirely different things.
"Don''t you run!" With grim eyes, Yaegerunched the dagger in her hands. She had only one target in mind—ck Shade! The puppet who had virtually no lifeforce actually trembled in fear, feeling a fatal attacking its way.
A sh of light traveled through the air with a beautiful trajectory. Then, under the moonlight, that sh of light threaded the needle and hit its mark. ck Shade stood in ce, as still as a statue.
Meanwhile, White Shade extended its hands and grabbed ck Shade before running again.
"Princess, I will return the favor ten times over!" The sound of mechanical grinding was heard.
Yaeger retrieved her dagger and didn''t give chase.
Her enemies didn''t show themselves and only sent 2 puppets to test her out. They had a clear objective in mind and acted strategically. With that, it meant they had probably prepared an ambush on the other side, waiting for her to spring the trap.
In her opinion, those puppets ran away in order to bait her towards the trap.
‘One hundred million US dors. Not only did it attract lots of hitmen from overseas, even the Transcendents in this country couldn''t escape its temptation.’
Aside from misleading Vera, she nned to bait more enemies with her actions tonight. But based on the current situation, it seemed like there were no idiots falling for it.
"These people are more patient than I thought. They''re not easy to deal with." Yaeger let out a disappointed gaze while sighing lightly. Then, she instantly remembered something, took her phone out of her purse, and called someone.
The call was epted within a split second.
“Sister! Do you need something?" Excitement could be heard in her voice. Since she called Yaeger her sister, this person was none other than Mylene.
"Mylene, Just now I…" Yaeger told Mylene about her encounter with ck and White Shade in detail.
After she finished, the other party left for a bit.
"Sister, I know who that person is!"
“Who?” Yaeger asked.
"That person is called Korg Gongshu. He''s a prodigy from the Gongshu Family." Mylene then told her everything about the Four Major Families. It turned out that the Gongshu Family was one of the Four Major Families.
"Why is that guy targeting me?" As one of the Four Major Families, the Gongshu Family naturally had all the money they needed. Korg Gongshu obviously didn''t do it for money.
Mylene pondered deeply and said, "I''m not sure of the exact situation either. Maybe it''s rted to the Prodigy Ranking."
"Prodigy Ranking?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
Mylene continued exining. It turned out the so-called Prodigy Ranking was a list that ranked all young prodigies in the world. It was quite simr to the Young Hero Ranking of the Jade Empire.
"That means I''ve been randomly listed on that ranking by someone else. Then, those people on that ranking became unhappy with me and they''ll eventuallye teach me a lesson. Is that right?" Yeager asked in exasperation.
"I suppose so." Mylene nodded.
"They really have nothing better to do!" Yaeger facepalmed. She thought she''d be able to catch a big fish today. But in the end, she only managed to fish out a boot. It was absolutely disappointing.
