"Is there anything I need to pay attention to? There really is one," Agrei said, her expression turning serious.
Both of them were in intelligence work, and they sometimes exchanged information.
Such an equivalent exchange did not require monetary purchase.
After thinking for a moment, Agrei added, "I suppose you know quite a bit about the Egart faction, don't you?" Agrei tapped her forehead.
Upon hearing this, Ophelia's expression also became serious.
Egart was also an organization of the First Sequence. The organization's name was the Boss's name, simple and direct.
"What about Egart?" Ophelia asked.
Among the First Sequence, Egart and the Golden Silver Tree had considerable conflict.
This conflict could be traced back to the very founding of the two major factions.
"They've replaced one of their participants this time."
"Egart's son is participating in this selection."
"He has many items given by Egart, and his combat power can even contend with those at the bottom of the First Sequence."
"Although the reason is still unknown, remember not to cross paths with him, after all, your two factions are not on good terms."
"When the fight starts, remember to stay far away," Agrei warned solemnly.
Generally speaking, the son of such a big shot would not need to participate in any selection, nor would they be placed in an auxiliary group.
Agrei did not understand the reason for his participation this time.
However, she had some guesses, likely for a special mission or perhaps an item.
After all, in the auxiliary group, the decision-makers were all the leaders of the First Sequence, not just one family calling the shots.
"Is that so? I understand..." Ophelia nodded, silently taking it to heart.
The son of a First Sequence big shot would not lack resources. If he came to participate in the selection, he must have something here that he needed.
And the auxiliary group's authority was not held by one party, so coming to participate in the selection for a mission or item made sense.
Not someone to be provoked, definitely not someone to be provoked.
Seeing her dejected mood, Agrei spoke to comfort her.
"Actually, it's not a big problem. His goal this time is first place. As long as you stay far away, he shouldn't waste time looking for trouble with you."
"Even if he does find you, with the three of you sticking together, escaping should be fine."
"Speaking of which, where is your last companion? I haven't seen them at all," Agrei asked curiously, glancing around.
Squads were usually three people, but she had only seen Ophelia and Shan Hai so far.
At this, Ophelia's mouth twitched, unsure how to respond.
Lin Feng, standing nearby, tilted his head and interjected, "You mean that good-for-nothing?"
"Heard he got food poisoning and couldn't make it to this selection."
Such a ridiculous explanation made even the experienced Agrei falter.
She cast a questioning glance at Ophelia.
Ophelia smiled awkwardly, unable to resist glancing at Lin Feng a couple of times.
"Something came up, so it's just the two of us this time..."
Agrei pursed her lips and didn't press further, merely giving Lin Feng a thoughtful look.
Alright, she probably understood what was going on. It was most likely related to this hot-tempered individual with a peculiar way of thinking...
"Yo, isn't this Ophelia?!"
As the three were talking, three people walked up to the stall.
Lin Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw three figures in black robes, wearing the same insignia as him.
They must be black robes participating in the selection under the Golden Silver Tree.
"Jason?" Ophelia flinched as if stung by a bee and took a step back, warily looking at the male black robe who had spoken.
Hmm? That reaction? Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to still be setting up a stall here?" Jason swaggered over with his teammates.
The other two teammates stood behind him, clearly looking to him as their leader.
"Let me see what kind of information you're selling."
"Hmm? Personal information on the top ten seeded contestants?"
"Good heavens, give me a copy!"
Jason tilted his head, his tone laced with a hint of mockery.
Moreover, this commanding attitude made Lin Feng somewhat uncomfortable.
"One A-rank mission for one piece of information!" Ophelia stated the price.
Jason dug at his ear and grinned.
"No way, Ophelia, charging me?"
"Doesn't our relationship warrant the price of information?"
Ophelia's face darkened.
"I don't recall having any relationship with you. The matter of you stealing my mission last time on Kolank Planet hasn't been settled yet. And you still want my information for free?"
Jason paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Ophelia, I think you've got it wrong. I clearly saved your life during the mission! Are you perhaps mistaken?"
Ophelia sneered.
"You threatened me, saying I'd die if I didn't hand over the mission items while I was severely injured. You call that saving my life?"
It was gossip. Lin Feng folded his arms on the side, listening silently.
At the same time, he mentally labeled this Jason as a despicable scoundrel.
Lin Feng disdained doing things like threatening someone when they were severely injured to force them to hand over mission items.
However, he seemed to have forgotten how he had subjugated the Outer Gate Twins...
"Stop with the nonsense. I'm being fair to you by looking at your data."
"When the first round begins, give me half of your and your teammates' points, and I'll spare your lives. It's decided!"
Jason impatiently reached out to take the information.
At the same time, he had already scripted a scenario for Ophelia and Lin Feng.
"You!" Ophelia pointed at him, furious.
"What? Want to hit me?" Jason scoffed dismissively.
Let alone the fact that she couldn't beat him, even if she could, no one here would dare to make a move easily.
There were so many eyes watching this place.
Ophelia gritted her teeth, her large eyes glaring at Jason, but she dared not make a move.
Lin Feng withdrew his hands from his sleeves and walked forward silently, unnoticed by anyone.
After Jason finished speaking, he casually reached out to take the information, completely ignoring Ophelia.
However, a hand suddenly shot out from the side and grabbed his wrist.
Jason's eyes widened, and he turned to glare angrily.
"Who the hell are you?!"
"Oh! Ophelia's teammate?" Jason saw the insignia on Lin Feng's chest.
Lin Feng held Jason's wrist with one hand and pointed at the information on the table with the other.
"Money first, then goods, understand?"
Jason sneered and tried to pull his wrist away, his expression then turning grim.
Lin Feng's grip on his hand felt like spatial confinement; he couldn't break free.
This guy has some skill! Jason's temper flared, and he immediately began to curse.
"Let go! You punk, believe it or not, I'll smash your..."
"F*** your mother!"
*Bang!*
Very quickly, before Jason could finish his threat, Lin Feng raised his foot and delivered a left-正蹬.
Before anyone could react, with a whoosh, he sent Jason flying out of sight.
This left-正蹬 directly produced a sonic boom.
