Chapter 58 - 58 58 The Veteran Actor

Li Ming was not sure about their exact location, but knowing the habits of the Bounty Hunters, their first move after completing the task would naturally be to claim their bounty.
Qin Xiao’s eyes suddenly narrowed, his fists clenched subconsciously and then quickly released: “Are you certain?”
Li Ming nodded, “Pretty sure.
When I killed that sniper, I vaguely heard the words ‘Star Creation Company’ from their channel.
After going back and recalling repeatedly, I came to find you.”
Qin Xiao nodded slowly, but his expression didn’t show much surprise.
He had always highly suspected the Star Creation Company.
The Star Creation Company should be contacting him soon.
With the item stolen, they would surely have demands.
Li Ming’s arrival confirmed this for him ahead of time, allowing him to be prepared psychologically and also sparked a certain idea in him.
He didn’t speak.
Getting up, he walked to the window.
The efficiency of the city guards’ logistics was high; the floor-to-ceiling window had already been replaced, with only the corners showing some scorch marks.
The night sky of Silver Grey City was brilliantly lit.
“How do you feel about our Silver Grey City?” Qin Xiao’s voice came through, very calm.
“Prosperous…”
“Ha ha…” Qin Xiao turned and laughed heartily, pointing at Li Ming, his face suddenly turning grim, “Wrong, utterly rotten to the core!”
“How much bullying did you endure growing up, and did anyone ever stand up for you?
If it weren’t for your father’s acquaintance with Yang Peng, I fear your student days would have been even more miserable!”
“Do you know how many people die each year from the grey sand disease?”
“How much chaos do the three major gangs of the outer city cause?”
Li Ming kept silent.
Has this guy gone nuts?
The more Qin Xiao spoke, the more agitated he became, pacing back and forth: “Is this what you call prosperous?
Silver Grey Star is already terminally ill!
Utterly rotten!”
“What kind of role do you think I am?” Qin Xiao suddenly stood still, looking at Li Ming.
Li Ming thought for a moment, “A man of great virtue and reputation…”
“You don’t think so,” Qin Xiao shook his head, “You think I’m a hypocrite, completely ineffectual, watching the decay of Silver Grey City without acting.”
Li Ming was confused.
What was he trying to say?
“Actually…
I’ve been
“Understood.”
This suited Li Ming just fine, as he also preferred not to draw attention.
He surmised that those who had killed Li Changhai would soon return.
“The special training room is too crowded.
Go to the 265th floor, I’ll grant you access.
There are no other people there, and the training equipment is even better, with an unlimited supply of nutrition fluid.” Qin Xiao spoke earnestly.
The 265th floor housed the training rooms for section chiefs and ministers, rumored to be filled with expensive equipment.
Qin Xiao was very considerate.
If someone like his predecessor, who was never regarded highly, or a hot-blooded youth like Li Ning, were in this position, they would have probably been down on their knees in gratitude already.
Unfortunately…
