Chapter 337: Give Lin Mo and Others Some Trouble

Zhuxing Town.

Inside an unremarkable business hotel.

In a dimly lit suite.

The curtains were drawn tightly, letting not a single ray of light in.

Only a dim yellow floor lamp cast a faint glow in the corner.

Augustin swirled the wine glass in his hand.

He tilted his head back slightly.

He drained the red wine in one gulp.

Then he casually tossed the glass onto the nearby wool carpet.

“The air in Zhuxing Town.”

“It’s utterly disgusting.”

Augustin tugged at his tie, his face filled with impatience and revulsion.

“Everywhere is that cheap forging stench.”

“One breath and I feel my lungs are severely contaminated.”

Samuel sat on the leather sofa opposite him.

He held a cigar between his fingers, pale gray smoke slowly drifting from his mouth and nose.

It spread through the air.

“Enough, Augustin.”

Samuel flicked off his ash.

“Drop your nobleman’s pretensions.”

“We’re spies here, not here to throw a party.”

Augustin snorted coldly.

“I know that.”

“But if it weren’t for that Lin Mo, I’d never set foot in this stinking little town.”

At the mention of Lin Mo,

Samuel’s gaze darkened slightly.

He took a deep drag on his cigar.

“I have to admit,”

“that Lin Mo is truly a monster.”

“A freshman who single-handedly wiped out a seven-nation alliance on the World Arena—his strength is beyond imagination.”

Augustin sneered.

“So what?”

“Use their Dragon Nation saying: ‘A tree that towers above the forest will be struck by the wind.’”

As he said this,

a flash of killing intent passed through Augustin’s eyes.

“The more monstrous and abnormal he is, the faster he’ll die.”

“Let him keep jumping around—he’s doomed to die young.”

Upon hearing this, Samuel’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

After all, no matter how monstrous, he was still just a novice who had recently changed his vocation.

These two of us are both High-Grade Qiangzhe .

At that moment,

“Knock knock knock.”

Someone knocked on the door.

Samuel and Augustin exchanged a glance.

“Enter.”

The door opened.

Three shadowy figures slipped in quickly and locked the door behind them.

The three reached up and pulled at their faces.

They tore off their disguise masks.

Revealing faces clearly bearing South Asian features.

They were the Singh brothers—Raj, Bahu, and Shar—the last remaining Indian spies in Dragon Nation.

Raj, the moment he stepped in, beamed with a smile:

“Lord Samuel!”

“You’re truly prophetic—smarter than even Brahma himself!”

A stream of curry-scented flattery poured from his mouth.

“That Lin Mo really came to Zhuxing Town!”

“And he indeed went to see the Dragon Nation’s top forger, Mo Qianjun!”

Hearing this,

Samuel scoffed.

“Do you really need to guess?”

“Once he got the Divine Forging Stone, who else could he possibly go to but Mo Qianjun?”

Immediately after,

Samuel waved his hand impatiently:

“Any other news?”

At this,

Raj’s smile froze.

He hesitated, then said reluctantly:

“Lord Samuel, there is one more piece of bad news.”

“What bad news?”

At this, Samuel frowned.

Raj wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered carefully:

“Feng Cangqiong is accompanying Lin Mo.”

At these words,

Samuel’s fingers paused on his cigar.

Augustin, sitting across, instantly dropped his sneer—every trace of contempt vanished.

The name Feng Cangqiong was legendary.

One of the Five Elders of the Tian Shu Bureau.

The most powerful Wind Supreme Mage in Dragon Nation—and indeed across the entire Blue Planet.

Samuel drew a slow drag on his cigar and said gravely:

“That old man never expected he’d come to act as bodyguard for a freshman.”

Augustin chuckled softly:

“Hmph, but it’s understandable. Lin Mo is Dragon Nation’s treasure—of course a big shot like him would come to guard him.”

“Too bad. This complicates things.”

Samuel’s tone turned grim. “With that old man beside Lin Mo, not only can we not kill him—we’ll be obliterated the moment we show our faces.”

Augustin fell silent.

Even he, with his extreme arrogance, could not deny that their strength, compared to Feng Cangqiong’s, was like ants before a mountain.

Raj swallowed hard and asked quietly:

“Then… Lord Samuel.”

“What do we do now?”

“Just watch helplessly as he finishes forging his weapon?”

Samuel paused, then spoke:

“Keep watching for now.”

“Look for an opening.”

“Everyone grows careless eventually.”

“I don’t believe Feng Cangqiong can guard him every single second.”

At that moment,

Shar, the silent brother among the three Indian spies, stepped forward suddenly.

“Lord Samuel.”

“Do you remember? On our way to Zhuxing Town, we detected an abnormal geomantic fluctuation—ten kilometers outside Zhuxing Town.”

“Hmm? I remember. What of it?”

Samuel raised an eyebrow.

Shar continued:

“That fluctuation is very likely to spawn a wild boss—and it won’t be weak.”

“So what?”

Samuel shook his head and asked in return:

“That fluctuation is too faint. By the time the boss spawns, Lin Mo will already have left Casting Star Town.”

“No, no, no.”

Shar hastily added:

“Lord Samuel, the earth vein fluctuation is indeed currently weak.”

“If left unchecked, this boss might take a very long time to spawn—or it might never spawn at all.”

“But.”

As Shar spoke, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

“I happen to have a legendary item—acquired by chance a year ago—called the ‘Accelerating Hourglass.’”

“Oh?”

Samuel lifted his eyelids and glanced at Shar.

“What’s it do?”

Shar explained:

“This legendary item can accelerate time for non-living matter within a designated area.”

“With this item, we should be able to force the boss to spawn before Lin Mo finishes forging his weapon.”

Hearing this,

Samuel became interested. “Continue.”

Shar’s lips curled slightly:

“When the wild boss spawns, it will also stir up nearby demons, triggering a large-scale beast tide.”

“The beast tide will attack the nearest human town—Casting Star Town!”

“Perhaps…”

Shar’s tone grew increasingly excited.

“Lord Samuel, perhaps this beast tide assault can create opportunities for us.”

After hearing Shar’s plan,

Samuel fell silent for several seconds.

Then he stood, walked to Shar, and patted his shoulder.

“Good idea.”

Samuel said coolly.

“With Feng Cangqiong around, he’s got nothing better to do—might as well give them something to deal with.”

“Go handle it.”

“If you can create an opening, perfect. If not, just annoying them is worth it.”

Shar, granted approval, was overjoyed.

“Yes!”

“Lord Samuel, rest assured—I’ll handle it right away!”

Saying this,

Shar exchanged a glance with his two brothers, and the three swiftly exited the suite.
