Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 306 - 278 Shadow

Night fell, and in the rented house where Lin Tian lived, he stealthily got up, glanced at Bu Mengting who was sound asleep in the bed, and then tiptoed out of the room.

Zhang Ya had fled abroad, but Lin Tian knew that to put an end to this situation, Zhang Ya had to disappear from this world.

However, to track down Zhang Ya’s whereabouts, the help of some intelligence organizations was necessary.

These past few days, Lin Tian had not been idle and had finally found an organization called Shadow.

This organization was a global intelligence agency.

Shadow dealt with information ranging from investigating affairs to state secrets. As long as you could pay the price, they could even find out what color underwear the First Lady of M country was wearing.

But because of this, Shadow also had many enemies, and their leader was called Ghost Shadow. To this day, the world didn’t know whether this "shadow" was male or female, young or old.

With Shadow’s capabilities, it shouldn’t be too difficult to locate Zhang Ya.

Lin Tian thought this as he followed the information he had received and made his way to an underground casino.

This casino, on the surface, was just a casino, but in reality, it was one of Shadow’s branches in Wu’an City.

At this moment, the entire underground casino was bustling with noise as gamblers, red-faced and eager, kept their eyes fixed on their chips.

As the casino’s owner, A-San should have been partying with a few beauties, but instead, he stood trembling in front of a person wrapped in a black robe with a black cloth covering their face, not daring to breathe too heavily.

"A-San, did you hear anything?"

The person in the black robe made a listening gesture and suddenly asked.

A-San heard the voice of the person in the black robe for the first time, speaking in Mandarin, the voice deep and hoarse.

The voice of the person in the black robe must have been altered somehow. Just from the voice alone, A-San couldn’t determine the true age of the person in the black robe.

"Ah, what? I only heard the voices of those gamblers upstairs."

A-San had run this underground casino for many years, and he prided himself on being able to gauge a person with just a few looks. However, in front of this person in the black robe, he felt an inexplicable pressure and couldn’t begin to guess the person’s true intentions.

He had only felt this kind of situation during his student days when facing his teachers.

"Yes, the sound of those gamblers gambling, such a marvelous sound."

"Ah, yes. Truly marvelous."

A-San couldn’t figure out the intentions of the person in the black robe, but he knew how to flatter them.

"With the cover of these gamblers, our branch will be very safe. A-San, do you know why I personally came to Wu’an this time?"

"I don’t know."

A-San shook his head, and the person in the black robe seemed pleased with his response, but they did not intend to reveal their purpose.

"It’s best that way. I don’t want others to guess my actions and intentions. This way, I can appear and disappear unpredictably."

As the leader of Shadow, Ghost Shadow had been extremely cautious these past few years.

Over the years, the information circulated by Shadow had attracted the attention of several major countries, which had even begun actions to eliminate Shadow.

Within Shadow, there were voices suggesting that Ghost Shadow should not touch sensitive information.

But Ghost Shadow refused.

As a global intelligence agency, they believed all information was tradable. No one could stop Shadow. This was their lifelong ideal.

Of course, they were also aware of the dangers, which had made them even more secretive over the years.

Inside Shadow, there were very few people who had seen Ghost Shadow’s true face, and outsiders didn’t even know who had seen it.

Even A-San, the leader of Shadow’s Wu’an branch, didn’t know much about Ghost Shadow.

Some said Ghost Shadow was a man, an old man in his seventies or eighties. Some said Ghost Shadow was actually a woman, only seventeen or eighteen years old. Others said Ghost Shadow wasn’t just one person, but several.

In short, no one knew Ghost Shadow’s real identity.

"The leader is wise."

A-San timely delivered another compliment.

Ghost Shadow waved their hand, indicating for A-San to stop.

"Tell me, what’s worth paying attention to in Wu’an City recently?"

As an intelligence organization, they were not interested in ordinary news or entertainment gossip. They paid attention to real and valuable intelligence.

"Recently, some incidents have occurred in Wu’an City. According to the intelligence we’ve collected, there should be superpowered individuals appearing."

Indeed, A-San was just the leader of a small branch of Shadow in Wu’an, and yet he was aware of the existence of superpowered individuals. One could imagine how strong Shadow’s intelligence-gathering ability was.

Hearing about the appearance of superpowered individuals, the person in the black robe’s gaze intensified.

"Give me the details."

"About a month ago, the police station cracked a large gang of thieves. The TV stations and various reports all said that Wu’an City would no longer have thieves. But on the very day the newspapers published the story, a thief named Luo Li appeared. He not only stole things but also left a note..."

A-San was reporting the intelligence about Luo Li, including Chen Yixuan’s final killing of Luo Li.

"That female police officer managed to kill Luo Li?"

Ghost Shadow heard the problem at once.

A-San shook his head.

"According to the intelligence we’ve collected, we’re over ninety percent sure that it wasn’t Chen Yixuan who killed Luo Li. It should have been a college student named Lin Tian."

If Lin Tian had been there, he would have been astonished. When he killed Luo Li, there was clearly no one around. How could A-San conjecture that it was Lin Tian who killed Luo Li?

"A college student?"

"Lin Tian is very unusual; he’s a notable figure at school and has been displaying lots of abnormal behavior lately. We’re gathering more information on him, and if nothing goes wrong, he should also be a superpowered individual. But do superpowered individuals really exist in this world?"

Ghost Shadow was very satisfied with A-San’s performance.

"Regardless of whether Lin Tian is a superpowered individual or not, A-San, you need to have someone contact him."

"I’ve already made contact with him through certain channels; it seems he also needs our information."

"Well done. For such special people, we must first establish a good relationship with them. Then we can obtain more valuable information."

Clearly, Ghost Shadow was testing A-San, when suddenly there arose a commotion from the casino.

Ghost Shadow, who was highly sensitive to sounds, immediately felt something was wrong.

"A-San, did you leak my whereabouts?"

"Boss, I have no idea what’s happening. I’m going to check it out right now. If you don’t trust me, you can leave first," A-San replied.

A-San had been in the casino for many years, and naturally also noticed that something was off about the noise upstairs.

Just as he was about to head up, suddenly the door burst open.

Two men in black charged in.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The sounds of the silenced pistol hitting objects were extremely soft, and Ghost Shadow and A-San dodged to the side simultaneously.

"I believe you now, A-San. Your information gathering is not bad, but your security is way too weak."

"Boss, you go first. I’ll hold them off," A-San shouted at Ghost Shadow, taking out a pistol and immediately returning fire at the two men in black.

"Hehe, still want to run?"

At that moment, a strongman entered the room.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

The strongman was over two meters tall, with an extremely burly physique, and his arms as thick as an adult’s thighs.

"It seems you were well prepared. My Shadow Guards haven’t raised any alarm till now; looks like you’ve completely taken them out, haven’t you?"

But Ghost Shadow didn’t seem to be in a hurry to run away.

"Truly worthy of the name ’Ghost Shadow.’ Even now, you remain so calm. I admire you for that, but today, I still need to take your head. It’s worth a lot."

The strongman stared at Ghost Shadow, his eyes emitting a beast-like, captivating glow.

"Try to capture him alive if possible, but if it comes to it, you can open fire."

Obviously, the branch in Wu’an City had probably discovered them long ago yet allowed them to exist.

They were probably waiting to catch a bigger fish by casting a long line.

Now that the big fish had arrived, it was time to close the net.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

With two sounds, the men in black standing beside the strongman fell to the ground.

A-San made a cool gesture with his pistol.

"Well done, A-San, nice shooting," Ghost Shadow complimented.

Previously, Ghost Shadow had suspected that it was A-San who had betrayed him, but now he fully trusted that A-San hadn’t betrayed him.

"Damn it, don’t hold back anymore. Go for Ghost Shadow, dead or alive."

At this point, Ghost Shadow and A-San were clearly unable to withstand the onslaught.

The people brought by the strongman found their opportunity, knocked them over, and tied them up.

The strongman walked over to Ghost Shadow, who was tied up like a rice dumpling.

"The legendary leader of the Shadow, nobody knows his true face. Today, I want to see what kind of ghost you really look like?"

The strongman reached out to pull off Ghost Shadow’s mask.

"If I were you, I would stop all your actions immediately," Lin Tian said.

Just at that moment, a figure rushed in from outside, the two men in black at the door couldn’t even react before they were sent flying by Lin Fei’s punches.

This time, Lin Tian didn’t hold back at all. He took down two men in black with just one move each.

On his way in from the outside, he encountered over a dozen men in black and effortlessly took them down.

"Kid, do you know what you’re doing?" the strongman asked with a deep voice.

"Of course, I do. I didn’t want to interfere today, but I have some matters that require the help of the Shadows. You’re just unlucky," Lin Tian replied.

"Well then, don’t blame us for being rude," the strongman said.

With the strongman’s order, more and more men in black appeared, surrounding Lin Tian. Some went to attack Lin Tian, while the rest went after Ghost Shadow and A-San.

The strongman hadn’t expected Lin Tian to divide his forces, and now he was going to pay a heavy price for that.

Lin Tian went full force, truly a case of ’when gods obstruct, slay gods; when Buddhas obstruct, slay Buddhas.’

The pistols on the men in black became useless decorations; at Lin Tian’s speed, nobody could hit him with a gun.

Gradually, the strongman began to realize something was amiss and couldn’t help but take action against Lin Tian himself.
