Chapter 520: A Dangerous Job
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi walked out of the jail and Little Six came up to her. Noticing his worried look, Tang Xi suddenly had a sense of foreboding. She pursed her lips and remained silent. But after a while, she couldn’t help asking, “Did something bad happen?”
Little Six nodded solemnly. “We can’t reach Mr. Seven. Young Master has gone to search for him, but hasn’t found him.”
Tang Xi was shocked. Lu Li went missing? What happened?
“Can you contact Qiao Liang?” Tang Xi walked out with Little Six and asked him.
Little Six shook his head. “Young Master has turned off his phone after telling me to take care of you. I think he must have gone to search for Mr. Seven.”
Tang Xi clenched her hands. She was supposed to stay with Qiao Liang at such a hard time, but now she couldn’t initiate the all-purpose skills. With her weak body, she would only be a burden to Qiao Liang even if she was by his side.
Now Tang Xi just wanted to be stronger. At least, she wouldn’t become Qiao Liang’s burden.
Tang Xi got into the car, looked at Little Six and said, “Let me know as soon as you get any information from Qiao Liang, understood?”
Little Six took a look at Tang Xi. He had thought Miss Tang would force him to take her to Young Master. He was relieved to see her being so rational.
Tang Xi closed her eyes and contacted the system, [Warm Prompt of the System: You have initiated your exclusive system 008.]
‘Can you help me find where Lu Li is?’
[008: I can only tell you which country he is in.]
That was better than knowing nothing about his whereabouts!

Tang Xi nodded. “Okay, tell me then!”
[008: Wait a minute.]
After a moment…
[008: Mexico.]
Tang Xi frowned. ‘Are you sure?’
[008: Yes.]
Tang Xi nodded, said ‘thank you’ and turned off the system. Then she looked at Little Six and asked with a frown, “Was Lu Li missing in Mexico?”
Little Six took a look at Tang Xi from the rear-view mirror and focused on driving. “Yes, he went missing around our No. 3 Base in Mexico. They only found his cellphone.”
Seeing Tang Xi fall into deep thoughts, Little Six continued, “Master guessed Mr. Seven had been captured and taken to the US by FBI.”
Tang Xi immediately shook her head. “No, they haven’t left Mexico. You should search in Mexico!”
Little Six glanced at her in surprise. “Miss Tang, how do you know this?”
Tang Xi took a deep breath. “You can contact Qiao Liang, can’t you?”
Little Six hesitated and Tang Xi suddenly straightened up, looked straight at Little Six and coldly said, “Now it’s not the time to hesitate. One minute too late, Lu Li will lose his life! Little Six, you know I’m different from common people, don’t you? So contact Qiao Liang for me as soon as possible!’
Little Six had planned to pretend to know nothing about Tang Xi’s secret, but now hearing her words, he wondered whether Miss Tang was actually a witch? Otherwise, how could she come back to life in another person’s body? She must be sensing where Mr. Seven was when she closed her eyes just now!
Little Six was really imaginative.
Little Six pursed his lips. “Yes, I can contact Young Master via computer.”
Tang Xi slight turned up the corners of her mouth, asked Little Six to pull over and let her drive the car. Little Six sat on the co-pilot seat and began to contact Qiao Liang with his computer. After quite a while, he said to Tang Xi, “Miss Tang, I’ve reached Young Master.”

Tang Xi gave him an admiring look. “Very good.”
Tang Xi put in an earpiece and Qiao Liang’s exhausted voice rang. It hurt Tang Xi to see him so tired, but with Little Six around, it was inconvenient for her to play lovey-dovey with Qiao Liang, so she just asked, “Where are you searching?”
Qiao Liang said, “We’re searching in a forest on the US-Mexican border. I think Lu Li might have been taken to the US.”
Tang Xi frowned. “No, Ah Liang, Lu Li is still in Mexico. There must be someplace you forgot. Think about it. Is there any place that you missed?”
Qiao Liang, “How are you sure he is still in Mexico?”
Tang Xi pursed her lips and said seriously, “You know why I became the present me, and why I suddenly popped up and saved you last time in France. For the same reason, I know Lu Li is still in Mexico.”
Qiao Liang fell into a long silence. Then he took a breath and ordered his men, “Keep searching here. Don’t miss any inch of the ground! Find Lu Li at any expense!”
Tang Xi smiled when she heard Qiao Liang’s order. Then Qiao Liang’s voice rang again. “Take care of yourself. Don’t get tired.”
Tang Xi said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I have Little Six take care of me.”
In the hospital, Xiao Yao suddenly received a call, and the other side said, “There is a traitor in our organization. They kidnapped someone who they shouldn’t kidnap. Now we’ve got a task for you.”
Xiao Yao stood up. Yang Jingxian looked at him. “What’s up?”
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and said seriously, “Mom, I have a mission to perform. I have to go to Mexico now.”
Yang Jingxian frowned and looked surprised. “Why do you suddenly receive a mission? Aren’t you still on holiday?”
“We get tasks at any time.” Xiao Yao hugged Yang Jingxian. “Tell Dad I’ve left. Now I’m going to the airport.”
“Now?” Yang Jingxian said, “Why don’t you leave after having dinner?”
Xiao Yao released Yang Jingxian and said with a smile, “No, my colleagues are waiting for me.”
Yang Jingxian had no choice but to watch him leave. Xiao Yao said goodbye to Xiao Zhihe and left.
Yang Jingxian looked at his back and sighed. “I should have stopped him if I had known earlier what his job is about.”
His job was too dangerous.

Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
