Chapter 860B – The Opportunity Arrives

It was obvious that Little Zhao who was worried and despairing over her future hadn’t noticed Qin Yu’s existence these past four days. So when he appeared in front of her she nearly cried out in alarm, excitement filling her face.

Qin Yu was frightened for a moment. He loudly whispered, “If you want to die then die by yourself. Don’t drag me down with you!”

“You…” Little Zhao flushed red. But she also knew that she was in the wrong. Still, she never expected Qin Yu to survive that round of investigation. It had to be known that she had been forced into a helpless situation so she had no choice but to mix herself in with these ‘human livestock’ to barely survive until now.

She took a deep breath and lowered her voice. She said between clenched teeth, “Don’t worry about me. After that deep investigation, the City Lord Mansion is in a relaxed state. You need to figure out a way to complete the Stronghold Master’s mission. Remember, that Dorafi is likely to have something on his body that can save his life. If you attack him you need to be fast, to the point where he cannot respond!”

Qin Yu looked up with surprise. He could see how scared she was and yet she still thought of completing the mission first. At the very least she was loyal. But unfortunately, unless he had a full assurance he wouldn’t make a move because he had no intention of dying.

“I can’t right now. I need to wait for an opportunity.” Once he finished speaking he turned and left. He couldn’t stay here any longer or he would be easily discovered.

Little Zhao’s complexion changed. She had idea whether or not Qin Yu was too scared to carry out the mission, but she had no other choice but to stay here and wait.

“You know that woman?” The female obam’s voice sounded from behind him.

Qin Yu put down his hatched. He turned around and nodded, “That’s right, she’s the one that tried to assassinate Dorafi.”

“Humph! What a stupid woman. Its fine if she failed but she also dragged so many people down with her to their deaths!” The female obam sneered several times. Then, her complexion suddenly changed. “You aren’t planning on rescuing her, right? Let me tell you that you shouldn’t even try it, because you will only be killing yourself!”

Qin Yu shook his head, “I also don’t want to take that risk, but you need to understand that she is the leader of my mission. If she dies, my fate will also end up poorly. So if it’s possible, I will try and save her.” He paused for a second and said, “At that time I might need your help.”

The female obam’s complexion changed. She clenched and said, “And you are sure that I will help you?”

Qin Yu silently looked at her.

“Consider it this old lady’s bad luck. If I knew about this earlier I should have watched you been killed off!” The female obam cursed beneath her breath and turned to leave.

Qin Yu revealed an apologetic look, but that soon faded away. In his current situation he couldn’t bother with these things. As he said, if he had a chance he would rescue Little Zhou. As for what he owed that sorrowful and pitiful woman, he could only try and figure out some way to make it up to her later.

Fourth day.

Fifth day.

Sixth day.

In the blink of an eye, the day to entertain the nobles of the imperial city had arrived. The men and women in the cage revealed looks of despair. This also included Little Zhao.

Ever since their conversation that day, Qin Yu hadn’t approached the cage at all. He was just like the other surrounding obams, faintly looking on. It seems that the opportunity he spoke of was only an excuse to comfort her.

Little Zhao’s eyes casually looked over Qin Yu. Her fear-filled eyes flashed with a trace of disdain and contempt. This boy was truly as timid as a rabbit. If it weren’t for him being the only one that might complete the miss’s mission, she wished she could expose Qin Yu’s identity and drag him down to hell with her.

“Hurry up! Today’s banquet must be of the highest standard possible! We must satisfy the noble masters from the imperial city!” The obam master chef roared out loud. The back kitchen started to immediately move at full speed. The human men and women were dragged out from the cage.

These past several days their diet had already been tampered with and now their limbs were weak and sore; they weren’t able to offer any resistance. In fact, they didn’t even have the ability to sob. They only had blank and empty expressions on their faces, as if they were happy that they could become food for these honored obam.

At this time, Qin Yu looked up at the depths of the City Lord Mansion. The source of that incomparably terrifying aura had finally started to move. And looking at the trajectory, it seemed she was finally leaving…was she going to leave the city to greet the nobles from the imperial city?”

His chance had arrived!

Qin Yu closed his eyes. In his ears he could he
