133: Chapter 133 The Shadow of the Noah Organization

Chapter 133: The Shadow of the Noah Organization

The pitch-black sea surface was calm and tranquil.

The hull rose and fell slightly with the tide, swaying gently.

Inside the cabin, three people were confronting each other, the atmosphere tense and heavily oppressive.

Awu stared at the strange man who had suddenly appeared on the boat in the middle of the night, and spoke:

" Judging by your accent, you must be a local of Yongan Island? "

Hearing this, the young man's expression showed no change, and he continued to Focus on drying his clothes.

This uninvited guest was none other than Fang Cheng, who had been gazing out at the sea from the cliff two hours ago.

To figure out the ultimate destination of those monsters, Fang Cheng had then walked down the cape to the edge of the beach.

Intending to wait on the shore and try a few things.

It would be best if he could catch a solitary monster to gauge their strength level, so he could have a clearer idea in his mind.

Unexpectedly, he discovered the abnormal behavior of this fishing boat drifting nearby, and encountered "hunters" with the same goal.

He had also watched the entire scene of the two men fighting the monster earlier.

Seeing that Fang Cheng remained silent, Awu then spoke again:

" Sorry, if this boat owner had been willing to cooperate honestly, we didn't originally want to kill anyone... "

He seemed to mistake Fang Cheng for a local islander who had tracked them all the way, and thus offered an explanation.

However, despite being an apology, the tone gave off a feeling of utter disregard for life and a sense of habituation.

Fang Cheng shook his head and replied in an equally bland tone:

" I have no relation to the original owner of this boat. "

The initial negotiation between the two parties seemed relatively harmonious, instantly dissipating much of the gunpowder smell lingering in the air.

But the next sentence instantly tightened the atmosphere to the extreme again.

" I just want to know, why are you trying to catch it? "

As Fang Cheng spoke, he reached out and pointed at the half-human, half-fish monster lying on the deck.

Hearing this, the expressions of the two men changed slightly.

" Brat, have a death wish, do you? "

The boat captain couldn't help himself first and immediately raised his tranquilizer gun, aiming at Fang Cheng.

Awu also stared coldly at Fang Cheng and said in a deep voice:

" I advise you to ask fewer questions about certain things, otherwise I wouldn't mind adding another corpse to this boat. "

Fang Cheng put down his clothes, stood up, and cast a gaze like a dagger.

" The thing I hate most is being pointed at with a gun... "

Before his voice faded, his figure moved imperceptibly, launching an attack without any warning.

The boat captain was stunned for a moment, feeling as if the opponent had instantly vanished from the spot.

Swish!

At the same time, a fierce wind suddenly swept through the narrow cabin.

Before his brain could register the change in situation, a leg shadow struck his temple like black lightning.

" Watch out! "

Awu, standing beside him, reacted much faster than him, moving instantly to shove the boat captain hard.

The boat captain fell backward, his index finger immediately pulling the trigger in panic.

Whoosh, a bullet with a tranquilizer dart suddenly shot out, embedding itself into the cabin ceiling.

Immediately after, his face twisted, his mouth split open, and he let out a spine-chilling scream.

" Ah—————— "

This fiercely sharp whip kick, starting from two meters away and hitting the target, happened in a mere 0.1 seconds.

It far exceeded the 0.3-second reaction speed of an ordinary person.

Although Awu intervened in time to save him from having his head blown off,

the opponent's Kicking Techniques were simply too fast, and the power was more than sufficient.

After being swept by the remaining momentum of the arm holding the gun, the boat captain's arm still snapped as fragilely as a twisted dough twist, and he collapsed to the ground wailing endlessly.

At this moment, Awu couldn't care less about his agonizing partner.

Because just as the opponent successfully kicked out this whip kick, the offensive did not lessen at all, becoming even more ferocious!

Hearing a sharp wind explode, the whip kick immediately turned into a horizontal sweep, chopping towards his neck like a heavy axe.

There was unexpectedly no sense of pause between the opponent's consecutive two attacks.

And defying common sense, the speed had actually become even faster!

Although Awu felt shocked in his heart, he was likewise no ordinary person.

With his neural reaction speed, he was fully capable of capturing the high-speed attacks that looked like afterimages in the eyes of ordinary people.

His pupils shrank slightly, staring intently at the increasingly clear black leg shadow in his field of vision.

His entire person's Aura instantly underwent a strange change, as if flames were ignited in his eyes.

As he raised his hands, they glowed a bright crimson, resembling steel being constantly smelted in a furnace.

Until with a "boom", flames burned fiercely. The crimson light not even only covered his palms, but his sleeves were also ignited by the erupting sparks.

His two arms practically turned into huge flames of ultra-high temperature, forming fists of fire.

Facing a rare and formidable enemy, he naturally had to unleash his full strength without reservation to meet the battle.

Awu did not retract his arms to block; instead, he turned defense into offense, punching out with both fists to grab the opponent's sweeping leg.

If this grab connected solidly, he was entirely confident in instantly turning this rampaging leg into roasted meat and charred carbon.

However.

In less than a hundredth of a second.

Under the gaze of his wildly excited eyes, just as his fists of fire were about to hit the target.

That leg unexpectedly twisted at an incredible angle.

Like a rubber whip folding and whipping through the air, it instead bypassed his hands and fiercely lashed at his jaw from another angle.

Awu's pupils constricted. Caught off guard, he could only lean back as much as possible to neutralize the impact brought by this kick.

But immediately after, an even more shocking thing happened.

Just while one leg was still in the air executing the whipping motion,

the other leg, using some unknown force, sprang up with a "tseng" sound.

Then, executing a front push kick, it flew into the air and kicked him directly in the abdomen.

Awu widened his eyes, his face full of horror.

The coordination and air-time ability displayed by the opponent simply did not seem like something a human could possess.

His physical fitness could even be said to be more perverted than those monsters from earlier!

The airtight attack speed and Moves gave him nowhere to dodge at all.

The huge force directly kicked him flying backward, his body crashing heavily against the wooden board on the side of the cabin.

Unable to bear the impact, the wooden board shattered with a loud bang, and a large hole was smashed open.

Losing support, Awu instantly plunged into the sea.

His swimming skills were quite ordinary. In his panic, his hands thrashed heavily, stirring up a flurry of splashes, and the flames burning on his arms quickly extinguished.

Following closely, a figure carrying sparks also passed through the hole, jumping down from the boat with a "splash" that kicked up a large sheet of water and landing right beside him.

Then, treading water nimbly with his feet, he clamped his arms around Awu's neck from behind, choking his carotid artery.

Awu choked on two mouthfuls of seawater in succession, his breathing becoming increasingly difficult.

Before he could struggle much, his brain lacked oxygen and his vision went black.

He only felt his body growing heavier and heavier, as if filled with lead.

Sinking and sinking continuously towards the dark ocean floor, the endless abyss.

...

" Hoo—— "

Awu abruptly opened his eyes, startling awake from the nightmare of being swallowed by the abyss.

Immediately, a churning wave of nausea struck, and he spat out two mouthfuls of bitter seawater mixed with bile.

After his mind settled somewhat and his vision returned to normal, he found himself unexpectedly lying on the deck of the fishing boat.

Raising his head again, he looked at the young man sitting in front, toying with a tranquilizer gun.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He immediately tried to stand up, but his limbs were sore and weak, completely unable to make any effective movements.

At this moment, his whole body was paralyzed and his muscles were stiff; even the area previously kicked by the heavy leg felt little pain.

Clearly, he had been injected by the opponent with a potent anesthetic capable of knocking out an elephant.

" Woo woo... "

A muffled groan came over. The boat captain with the fractured right arm was tied up securely from head to toe, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, lying right beside him.

Glancing at his companion's plight, Awu took a deep breath, knowing he was done for this time.

He simply gave up struggling and looked at the mysterious enemy sitting in front with a solemn expression.

" Brother, what Dao do you walk? "

As he spoke, he felt air leaking from his mouth, and his face burned with pain. He knew how badly swollen it was without needing a mirror.

Obviously, there was only one reason he could wake up so quickly, and that was that he had just received a slap.

Fang Cheng did not answer.

At this moment, he had put on dry clothes and underwear, and was carefully drying those black sweatpants in front of the electric heater.

His exposed legs had robust and powerful muscle lines, like lethal weapons cast from steel.

Awu's pupils shrank slightly, as if recalling the scene he had encountered earlier.

Then he opened his mouth again, continuing to strike up a conversation in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere between them.

" Were you sent by the Zhenxiang Society? "

" If that's the reason, I am willing to compensate you for this matter... "

Fang Cheng turned his head and interrupted him:

" You've asked so much, aren't you going to introduce your own background first? "

Hearing this, Awu instantly fell silent.

After about half a minute or so,

he spoke again with a hint of apprehension:

" We are people from the Noah Organization, have you heard of it? "

Noah Organization?

Fang Cheng's gaze narrowed slightly, looking as if he was listening intently.

Awu continued:

" The two of us brothers came to Yongan Island just to complete the mission assigned by the organization, and it has nothing to do with anything else... "

By this point, he had completely let down his psychological baggage.

Although leaking mission information to outsiders would incur extremely cruel punishment from the organization,

right now they were the fish on the chopping block, and at any moment they might experience inhumane treatment first.

As for how to choose, the wise man submits to circumstances—that phrase made it very clear.

At the same time, he also hoped to use the name and strength of the organization behind him to deter the opponent.

Thus, without Fang Cheng needing to interrogate him, he spilled his background from A to Z.

Awu and the boat captain were actually biological brothers, named Wang Zongwu and Wang Zongwen.

Their mission target this time was a monster called a "Jiaoren" living in the waters surrounding Yongan Island.

Because as long as they successfully captured a Jiaoren and sent it back to the organization's stronghold, they would receive a mission bonus of ten million, along with other benefits.

As for why they wanted to capture a Jiaoren?

They only guessed that it would be used by the organization as some kind of experimental Materials.

The older brother, Wang Zongwen, used to run smuggling boats and was only responsible for assisting with the hunting mission.

The younger brother Wang Zongwu not only had physical fitness many times stronger than ordinary people, but also possessed the special ability to generate flames, so he bore the task of frontal combat.

According to his own introduction, he was originally an underground cage fighter who was fortunate enough to be spotted by the Noah Organization to participate in a human experiment, accidentally Awakening this special ability he named "Flame Fist".

And relying on Wang Zongwu's strength, the two of them felt like fish in water after joining the organization, having successfully completed multiple missions, making them well-regarded elite members.

Fang Cheng listened quietly to his narration, gaining some understanding in his heart.

He hadn't expected that by just probing a bit for intelligence, he would once again encounter what seemed to be a quite powerful mysterious organization.

Wang Zongwu talked eloquently, trying his best to elevate his own status with words.

However, no change could be seen on Fang Cheng's face, so after thinking about it, he asked another sentence:

" Brother, judging by your accent, you must be a local. Do you know Chen Chen? "

Hearing this, Fang Cheng's heart stirred, and his gaze flickered slightly.

How could he possibly not know the name Chen Chen?

After the bloody slaughter on that night at the warehouse, the two sides were completely in a state of hostility.

To be ready to strike at any time, Fang Cheng had long ago specifically inquired about the intelligence of all important leaders of the Red Tiger Gang.

And this person Chen Chen was precisely the leader of the Red Tiger Gang.

Seeing that Fang Cheng's expression finally changed, Wang Zongwu felt a slight joy in his heart, and immediately said:

" Chen Chen came right out of your Yongan Island. After joining the Noah Organization, he was supported by the higher-ups and has now become the leader of Dongdu's largest syndicate. "

" My brother and I have always had a very good relationship with him, and whenever we go to Dongdu, we often look him up for drinks... "

Hearing that the person opposite actually used the leader of the Red Tiger Gang to cozy up to him, Fang Cheng was quite speechless for a moment.

The reason he impersonated a local Yongan Island accent was simply to add a layer of cover to his true identity.

However, Fang Cheng did not pierce through this matter, and only replied indifferently:

" I know Chen Chen, but I haven't seen him for many years. "

Hearing this, Wang Zongwu knew he had bet on the right horse, and immediately picked up the conversation:

" Since everyone is an acquaintance to each other, there's no need to go around fighting and killing and making things big, it hurts harmony. "

" Brother, I think you can completely join our Noah Organization; with your strength, you will definitely be heavily reused and enjoy better welfare and benefits than the two of us brothers... "

He talked endlessly about the specific benefits one could get after joining the Noah Organization, pushing the temptation to the extreme.

Especially a type of potion that was very important to ability users, which could even alleviate chronic mental ailments.

Fang Cheng was noncommittal and asked:

" With strength like mine, what level would I roughly be considered in your organization? "

Wang Zongwu considered it and answered earnestly:

" Our organization has many scientific research and clerical personnel. If placed in the pursuer team, you should be considered at the level of a deputy captain of a squadron. Above that, there are brigades, as well as even higher-level mysterious experts. We don't really know much about those big shots... "

After listening to what Wang Zongwu confessed, Fang Cheng said with relative satisfaction:

" It seems you didn't lie to me. "

Then he walked over to the tied-up Wang Zongwen, removed the rag from his mouth, and asked:

" Can your hands still Move? "

Wang Zongwen glanced at his younger brother who was winking at him, and then nodded with a muffled sound.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng directly tore apart the ropes binding his hands and feet with his bare hands, and instructed:

" Then let's start Driving back by boat now. "

Hearing this, Wang Zongwu's face instantly showed joy:

" It's good that you've figured it out, brother. I'll take you to our stronghold first to meet the person in charge here. Later, I can even be your introducer for joining the organization... "

Enduring the pain, Wang Zongwen walked obediently to the console.

Then, using one hand, he started the motor, turned the helm, and Driving the fishing boat to leave this sea area.

However, the look in his eyes gazing at the sea ahead faintly revealed a trace of viciousness, and he gritted his teeth secretly:

" To think this brat is so naive. When we get back to the stronghold, I'll show you... "

Thump thump thump————

Accompanied by the sound of the motor, the fishing boat dragged a long wake of splashes across the pitch-black sea surface.

Ten minutes later, it smoothly sailed into the harbor, about to dock.

Feeling that the numbness in his hands and feet had slightly receded, Wang Zongwu felt even more reassured in his heart.

Raising his head to look at Fang Cheng standing in front of the console, he continued to cozy up:

" Brother, I haven't asked for your esteemed name yet... "

Before he finished speaking, his eyes widened, and a look of horror flashed across his pupils.

The fishing port in the early morning was silent and serene.

Many fishing boats were lined up in a row, swaying slightly with the waves, resting among them.

Inside the cabin of a newly docked boat, electric lights flickered slightly.

Two short screams rang out, and then abruptly stopped.

Everything returned to peace and tranquility.
