Chapter 337: Finding Some Trouble for Lin Mo and the Others

Starforge Town.

Inside an unremarkable business hotel.

In a dimly-lit suite.

The curtains were drawn tight, not letting in a sliver of light.

Only a single dim yellow floor lamp, in the corner, gave off a faint glow.

Augustin swayed the goblet in his hand.

He tilted his head back slightly.

And drained the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then, he casually tossed the goblet onto the cashmere carpet beside him.

"The air in this Starforge Town."

"Is absolutely terrible."

Augustin reached up and tugged at his tie, his face full of impatience and disgust.

"Everywhere you go, that cheap forging smell."

"One breath and I feel my lungs are seriously polluted."

Samuel sat on the leather sofa opposite.

A cigar was clamped between his fingers, and pale blue smoke slowly puffed from his mouth and nose.

Spreading through the air.

"Enough, Augustin."

Samuel flicked the ash off his cigar.

"Stow that nobleman act of yours."

"We're spies right now, not here to throw a party."

Augustin gave a cold snort.

"Of course I know that."

"But if it weren't for that Lin Mo, I wouldn't have set foot in this stinking little town."

At the mention of Lin Mo.

Samuel's gaze also darkened a shade.

He took a deep drag of his cigar.

"Have to admit it."

"That Lin Mo really is a freak."

"A freshman, single-handedly taking out a seven-nation coalition in the Myriad Nations Battlefield—that kind of strength, I really can't imagine it."

Augustin let out a cold laugh.

"So what?"

"To borrow a saying from those Dragon Nation people: a tree that stands out in the forest is bound to be toppled by the wind."

At this point.

A flash of killing intent passed through Augustin's eyes.

"The more monstrous he is, the more freakish he is, the faster he dies."

"Let him hop around. He's destined to be a short-lived ghost anyway."

Hearing this, the corner of Samuel's mouth also curled into a sinister smile.

No matter how freakish, he was still just a newbie professional who had only recently changed jobs.

The two of them, on the other hand, were both Transcendent-tier powerhouses.

Just then.

"Knock knock knock."

The room door was knocked on.

Samuel and Augustin exchanged a glance.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open.

Three sneaky figures darted in and locked the door behind them.

The three reached up and ripped at their faces.

Tearing off their disguise masks.

Revealing faces with distinctly South Asian features.

They were precisely the Tianzhu Nation's last remaining spies in Dragon Nation—the Singh brothers, Rajesh, Baho, and Shar.

The moment Rajesh stepped inside, he said with a fawning smile:

"Lord Samuel!"

"You really are prescient, simply wiser than Lord Brahma himself!"

A burst of curry-flavored flattery poured from his mouth.

"That Lin Mo really did come to Starforge Town!"

"And he really did go find that number one forger of Dragon Nation, Mo Qianjun!"

Hearing this.

Samuel scoffed.

"Does that even need guessing?"

"Now that he has obtained the God-Forged Stone, besides coming to find Mo Qianjun, who else could he seek?"

Immediately after.

Samuel waved his hand, somewhat impatient:

"Is there any other news?"

Speaking of this.

Raj's smile on his face froze.

He paused, speaking with some hesitation:

"My lord Samuel, there is indeed one piece of bad news."

"What bad news?"

Hearing these words, Samuel's brows furrowed.

Raj wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously:

"That Feng Cangqiong is also by Lin Mo's side."

Upon hearing this.

Samuel's fingers holding the cigar paused slightly.

Augustine, sitting opposite, instantly sobered his expression; all contempt vanished.

The name Feng Cangqiong was truly thunderous.

One of the Five Elders of the Tianxu Mansion.

The most powerful Wind-type Supreme Mage in the Dragon Kingdom, and indeed the entire Blue Star.

Samuel took a puff of his cigar and said in a deep voice:

"This old fellow, I never expected him to run off to serve as a bodyguard for a freshman."

Augustine chuckled lightly:

"Hehe, but it is normal; Lin Mo is now the treasure of the Dragon Kingdom. Having such a big shot serve as a bodyguard is not unexpected."

"Pity, this makes things tricky."

Samuel's tone was Serious, "With this old fellow by Lin Mo's side, let alone killing Lin Mo, I fear we would be instantly destroyed the moment we show our heads."

Hearing this, Augustine fell silent as well.

Even he, who was extremely arrogant, could not deny that their current strength, compared to Feng Cangqiong, was like that of ants.

Raj swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice:

"Then... My lord Samuel."

"What shall we do next?"

"Are we just going to watch helplessly as he finishes forging the weapon?"

Samuel paused, then spoke:

"Let us continue to keep watch for now."

"Look for an opportunity."

"People always have moments of relaxation."

"I do not believe Feng Cangqiong can guard him without moving an inch."

Just at this moment.

Among the three brothers from the Tianzhu Kingdom, Shaer, who had remained silent, suddenly stepped forward.

"My lord Samuel."

"Do you remember? On our way to Casting Star Town, there was an abnormal fluctuation in the earth veins, located ten kilometers outside Casting Star Town."

"Hmm? I remember, what about it?"

Samuel raised an eyebrow.

Shaer continued speaking:

"That fluctuation is very likely to spawn a wild BOSS, and its strength will not be weak."

"So what?"

Samuel shook his head and retorted:

"That fluctuation is too small; by the time that BOSS spawns, Lin Mo will have long since left Casting Star Town."

"No, no, no."

Shaer hurriedly added:

"My lord Samuel, that earth vein fluctuation is indeed currently quite weak."

"If left uninterfered with, this BOSS might take a very long time to spawn, or even be stillborn."

"But."

As Shaer spoke, a hint of sinister intent flashed in his eyes.

"I happen to possess a Legendary item, obtained by chance a year ago, called the 'Accelerating Hourglass'."

"Oh?"

Samuel lifted his eyelids and glanced at Shaer.

"What is its use?"

Shaer explained:

"This Legendary item can accelerate time for non-living matter within a certain environment."

"If we use this item, I believe we should be able to force the BOSS to spawn before Lin Mo finishes forging the weapon."

Hearing this.

Samuel's interest was piqued. "Continue."

The corner of Shaar's mouth curved up slightly:

"When the time comes, the wild BOSS's respawn will also agitate the surrounding magical beasts, forming a massive beast tide."

"The beast tide will attack the nearest human town—Star-Forging Town!"

"Perhaps…"

Shaar's tone gradually grew excited.

"Lord Samuel, perhaps this beast tide's assault on the town can create some opportunities for us."

After hearing Shaar's plan.

Samuel was silent for a few seconds.

Then he stood up, walked over to Shaar, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Not a bad idea."

Samuel said lightly.

"Anyway, with that old coot Feng Cangqiong around, they're idle anyway—might as well give them something to do."

"Go handle it."

"If you can create an opportunity to strike, that's best; even if there's no opportunity, annoying them a bit is still good."

Having received affirmation, Shaar was overjoyed.

"Yes!"

"Lord Samuel, rest assured, I'll go handle it right now!"

Having said that.

Shaar exchanged a glance with his other two brothers, and the three of them quickly retreated from the suite.
