Chapter 118: Shocking Discerning Ability
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Xue Tian looked at Qin Fen as if he were looking at a monster. “You haven’t even explored the Federation yet. Are you an alien that only exists in science fiction novels? There are some simple information on the terrorist wanted websites. If you’re interested in becoming a terrorist bounty hunter after completing several missions, then you can apply for a license. Or you can simply become a mercenary. These people can log onto even more internal networks, and the reward for the terrorists there are higher. Information on terrorist organization members is more comprehensive there as well.”
Qin Fen gave a gentle nod of his head. It looked like there were many ways to make money in this world. He just hadn’t known about them before today.
“So how ’bout it? Become a mercenary with me when you’re out of the military, all right? There are other guys out there without the brains or skills, making it possible for us to become the best mercenaries! What do you think? Decide already! The more annoying and dangerous the work, the easier it is to earn large sums of money. We can get super rich.”
Qin Fen looked at Xue Tian once more. He always felt that this guy had a pair of black horns coming out of his skull and a black long tail coming from behind his body. He was extremely like the devil from mythology, luring people toward a depraved path.
“I’ll think about it….”
The elevator door opened at this time, and Xue Tian had a face filled with expectation as he whispered, “I’ll be waiting for a collaboration with you any time.”
————-
The concert entered the countdown stage. Because of the ambush the Scimitar organization launched on the bodyguards of the Flying Hearts, the entire police system of Seoul was in anxious states.
This anti-terrorist concert was the focus of several people’s attention. If members of a terrorist organization were to carry out a terrorist attack, not only would that give the police of Seoul a resounding slap to the face, it would give the Federation itself a resounding slap to the face as well.
Qin Fen followed Phoenix the entire way to the concert. They walked into the venue, where people were undergoing intense preparations, and discovered quite a few police officers hidden in the shadows. The defenses of this place had clearly been increased. And just based on looking at the basic hidden sentries, the defense security director could be considered an extremely experienced and seasoned person.
Unfortunately, the strength of these police officers didn’t meet the requirements for the deployed formation. There were still a few tiny gaps within these defenses.
Over a hundred people bustled back and forth on the enormous stage. Some of the backup dancers among them carried an air of vigilance. They were clearly police officers that had been arranged within the group.
There were dancers and professional bodyguards—who wore black suits, had killing intent written across their faces, and were always alert—but the person who drew the most attention wasn’t any one of these people.
It was a woman! She wore a brown professional suit. She was a beauty, and she was constantly issuing orders into the walkie-talkie in her hand.
“You! Hurry up already! Hurry up!”
“Why aren’t the lights good yet? Did you all not eat or something?”
“You dancers over there! Move a bit more professionally! You’re at a first-rate concert! You’re not at some low-key party that is typical for your dance group.”
“And you people are…?” The woman finally focused her attention on Qin Fen’s group after issuing a series of orders.
Perhaps it was better to say that she had noticed Phoenix!
Phoenix wore a red female suit and held a Louis Vuitton purse in her hand. Whether it was temperament, appearance, or figure, she was in no way inferior to the woman who was giving orders.
“Special.”
Phoenix gave a simple answer.
“Oh! What took you all so long?” The bossy woman had a very strong aura. “First examine the surroundings, and see if there are any ambushes or safety concerns.”
Phoenix smiled as she walked onto the stage. Her eyes stared straight at the other woman. “You’re the manager, right? Promoting packages of stars is your forte, but matters of security aren’t for you to command.”
….
The woman was stunned for a second before an unhappy and dark air rose up from her forehead.
Phoenix didn’t say anything either. She glared coldly at the woman with falcon-like eyes. Someone from the military would never take orders from an idol manager.
The two stared coldly at each other, and Qin Fen could feel the two women’s auras clash intensely.
Phoenix’s many years in the military gave her the air of an iron-blooded soldier—proud, unyielding, and everlasting. The female manager was used to her many years of bossing people around. She opposed Phoenix with equal harshness, showing no signs of weakness at all.
Xue Tian held a hand to his mouth, covering a yawn. He spoke, looking lazy, “Such a beautiful girl actually isn’t a star? She is the manager? And her aura is just as strong as a man’s. Is she mentally warped inside?”
Qin Fen gave a thumbs up in secret. No wonder he and Lin Liqiang acted like old friends when they had first met. If Lin Liqiang were in this situation, he would probably say the exact same thing.
The woman clearly didn’t have the time to care about what Xue Tian said. She placed her full attention on Phoenix’s body. She totally looked like she had no intention of giving up on overwhelming her opponent.
Qin Fen shook his head in great puzzlement. This woman was acting so strong-minded in this situation. She didn’t hold back her personality at all, disregarding whether or not the concert was running smoothly and its security. He really didn’t know how she was able to be successful at her job.
The rest of the staff had clearly felt the showdown between these two women. All of them carefully and cautious hid to the sidelines.
From the situation, it appeared that some time was needed for a victor to be determined in the clash between these two. Butcher and the others had already begun to execute the plans they made ahead of time.
Qin Fen carried his large suitcase. He didn’t immediately go to the sniper spot. It was too early for that right now; doing so would reveal himself too easily.
Xue Tian followed Qin Fen, while Qin Fen followed Butcher and the others. Everyone made their way to the back of the stage. Since it was rehearsal, the two stars of the Flying Hearts should be there.
They arrived backstage, and there were two girls sitting quietly in the middle of a group of people. Qin Fen had never seen the members of the Flying Hearts before, but he was able to discern them from everyone else. These two were the true leads of today’s show.
Each of these two girls held a musical score in their hands. They softly sang with earnest. They were dressed in a beautiful spring style, and they were dazzling even when they were surrounded by people. Qin Fen couldn’t help having his eyes light up when he saw them.
“These two people really are identical.” Qin Fen uttered a praise of emotion as he followed Butcher in walking up to them.
“Hello, we are here to protect you.”
Butcher arrived before the two girls, looking as cold as ever.
The two girls raised their heads to look at Butcher at the same time. They stood up at the same time and bowed to Butcher. The same voice came from different mouths. “We’ve troubled you.”
“Yes. I hope you’ll cooperate.” Butcher opened his suitcase and took out two bracelets of delicate design. “These are three-hundred-and-sixty-degree cameras. I can observe your surroundings using them. Please put them on.”
“Okay, thank-you.”
The two girls spoke once again in unison, causing Qin Fen to be a bit surprised. These two acted completely different from what the rumors say, refusing to even sign autographs.
“Strange, isn’t it? I heard they are identical twins.” Xue Tian whispered by Qin Fen’s ear, introducing him to his vast storehouse of knowledge when it came to the information on beautiful women. “I heard they are telepathic. They often say the exact same thing at the exact same time.”
Qin Fen nodded. This pair of girls, who looked nearly identical in appearance, were really difficult to tell apart.
Butcher raised several more requests, and the two girls agreed to his proposals with total cooperation.
After all the preparations were complete, Qin Fen dragged his suitcase and arrived before the two girls.
“Are you also going to protect us?”
The two girls looked at Qin Fen somewhat disbelievingly. This boy was around the same age as them. He was a recruit at best.
Didn’t the information say that everyone responsible for protecting them would be special forces soldiers? He was a special forces soldier at his age?
“Yes.”
Qin Fen opened his suitcase and took out the white t-shirts he bought earlier. At the same time, he took out a black marker.
“Can you sign on here?”
Qin Fen delivered the t-shirts before the two girls, shocking all of the staff members present. They had never met such a person. He didn’t say how he worshiped the two girls, nor did he say how much he liked them, he simply took out some stuff to get autographed. And it wasn’t just one t-shirt. There were several dozen t-shirts! Didn’t he know that the manager, the Fiery Miss Cheng Yan, prohibited staff members from asking for autographs?
“Oh, is this your people’s mission too?” The two girls were a bit at a loss, but they still accepted Qin Fen’s t-shirts.
Qin Fen thought for a moment. “I should be saying that it’s my mission.”
The two girls didn’t understand what Qin Fen meant by his words. They seriously and quickly signed their names on the t-shirts.
After signing ten autographs in one go, the girls asked curiously. “This is quite a strange mission you have here.”
“There is nothing that can be done about it. I am poor, and there’s a chance to make money, so I can’t let it go.” Qin Fen looked at the curious gazes of the two girls. He didn’t want to trick them. He simply and straightforwardly said, “Your autographs can be sold for good prices. I can sell the t-shirts for good prices once you sign them.”
“You are going to sell them?” The two girls, who were in the middle of signing, were all stupefied at this moment. They subconsciously stopped signing the t-shirts, and the staff workers beside them who heard the words were even more stupefied.
Qin Fen’s answer made the staff members go nearly crazy. So it turned out he was this sort of fellow! He was going to sell these autographs that weren’t easy to get at all? He was wasting the kindness of the two sisters of the Flying Hearts. Such a person should be dragged out and executed by a firing squad!
Streaks and streaks of malevolent cold light came radiating over. Xue Tian shivered over and over. His two hands waved again and again as he said, “I have nothing to do with this person. Nothing to do at all. I don’t even know him. If one of you wants to start something, don’t drag me into it thinking that I’m his accomplice.”
Qin Fen completely ignored the furious gazes. These people never tasted the suffering of not knowing if there was going to be a next meal or not. What did it matter that he was going to sell these autographs? It still counted as fruits of his labor.
“You came here to protect us, right?”
The two girls were a bit curious.
“Yes, Miss Ya Xin.”
Qin Fen nodded his head in response to the girl who asked the question.
“Oh? How can you tell me and my older sister apart…? Did you look at the autographs we signed?”
A wave of curiosity swept the girl at first before she suddenly realized the answer.
Qin Fen took the signed t-shirts and said, “Yes, I did not know about you two before, and I really did not know your names, but now I know from your autographs just now. So if we meet again the future, I will not have a problem telling you two apart at all.”
