The Thousand-Faced Bandit God glanced down at the dragon pattern on the black card, and her pupils instantly constricted as she cried out in disbelief.
"Dark Card!"
"You... you're with the Dark King?"
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God stared at the man before her in shock, shouting.
She didn't say he *was* the Dark King because no one had ever seen the Dark King's true face, and this man was far too young. In her mind, the Dark King should have been a wise old man full of intellect.
"Now you know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into."
Ning Beichen didn't deny it. He wanted to subdue this woman, otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to so many tactics.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God's entire body began to tremble. If there was one person, one force in the entire world she absolutely did not want to provoke, it was the Dark King's organization, which ranked number one.
How could she have imagined that the files she stole this time would be connected to the Dark King?
If she had known earlier, even if she were given ten times the courage, she wouldn't have dared to lay hands on those documents.
"If I hand over the files, will you really let me go?"
the Thousand-Faced Bandit God asked.
"Hand over the files, and then serve the Dark King by doing three tasks. You will be safe, and the Dark King can promise to help you resolve some troubles you can't handle in the future."
Ning Beichen told her.
Some things were mutually beneficial; you couldn't expect a horse to run without letting it eat grass. Such people didn't exist.
"Alright, I agree,"
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God thought for a moment and agreed to Ning Beichen's terms because she had no other choice. Other forces might not be able to do anything to her, but with the Dark King's capabilities, there were plenty of ways to deal with her.
"The wise yield to circumstances. Do you need me to deal with those sellers?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
"No need, they can't find me."
the Thousand-Faced Bandit God replied.
"They didn't get what they wanted this time, so you'll likely have a lot of trouble."
Ning Beichen said.
"It doesn't matter, it's a good time for me to lay low for a while."
the Thousand-Faced Bandit God said.
Ning Beichen nodded, then told her, "You'll stay here tonight. Tomorrow, you'll take me to retrieve the data. Whether you stay or flee is your decision."
After Ning Beichen finished speaking, he turned and left, seemingly unconcerned about whether she would escape.
However, the more Ning Beichen acted this way, the less the Thousand-Faced Bandit God dared to entertain such thoughts.
This man could approach her, the Thousand-Faced Bandit God, so stealthily that she couldn't detect him. Just this fact alone made the Thousand-Faced Bandit God surrender to him.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God obediently returned to the house. She didn't attempt to escape all night. Although she had countless opportunities to flee, she wasn't sure if she could succeed.
After all, a man's reputation precedes him; the Dark King's formidable fame was not for naught.
The next day, Ning Beichen appeared before her, accompanied by another woman.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God naturally recognized this woman's identity. After all, she had just stolen from her, so it was unlikely she wouldn't recognize Liu Yilin, the president of Tianmei Technology Group.
"You're the one who stole my data, you thief!"
As soon as Liu Yilin saw her, she became furious, lunged forward, and began to scratch and bite the Thousand-Faced Bandit God.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God didn't dare to fight back, enduring it because Ning Beichen was standing nearby, watching her.
However, Liu Yilin was just an ordinary girl, and her strength wasn't great. After a short while, she ran out of energy.
"Alright, she knows she was wrong. Today, she'll take us to get the data back."
It was then that Ning Beichen spoke to appease her.
After all, the Thousand-Faced Bandit God had taken her things, so letting her vent some anger was understandable.
Liu Yilin finally let go, but she still glared at the Thousand-Faced Bandit God like a rooster and stayed close to her, as if afraid she would run away.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God wouldn't dare to run; she would have done so last night if she intended to.
No one expected the Thousand-Faced Bandit God to have stored the data in a safety deposit box at Las Vey Bank. If a buyer successfully bid, they would receive the key to the safety deposit box, and only then could they obtain the complete data.
Liu Yilin checked the data. It was indeed the data stolen from her laboratory, and it also contained a semi-finished chip sample.
"Is everything inside? Do you have any backups?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God quickly shook her head and swore to Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin that she absolutely had no backups. If she had done so, her reputation and credibility would have been severely damaged if it were discovered.
"Very good. Remember your promise. You know, if I want to find you, you can't escape anywhere."
Ning Beichen told her.
The Thousand-Faced Bandit God nodded. She didn't know what Ning Beichen had done to her, but she had a strong premonition that if he wanted to find her, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Not long after, Ning Beichen left with the briefcase and Liu Yilin. However, before they could return to the hotel, they were attacked by mysterious individuals.
The attackers clearly knew the items were in their possession, so their objective was to kill and steal, disregarding their lives.
Ning Beichen pulled Liu Yilin behind a row of garbage cans in a back alley, his expression grave. Outside, gunfire rained down, and Liu Yilin was terrified.
She had never seen such a scene before; even if she had, it would have only been in movies.
"Ning Beichen, what do we do? We're dead! Who are these people? How dare they kill in broad daylight?"
Liu Yilin trembled behind the trash can, utterly afraid.
"Don't be scared. With me here, no one can harm you."
Ning Beichen not only used the trash can to shield her but also protected her from the front.
However, he didn't know how many attackers there were, and Ning Beichen dared not leave because protecting Liu Yilin's safety was his top priority. Only when Liu Yilin was safe could Ning Beichen counterattack.
But now, he couldn't. He first had to confirm the enemies' positions and eliminate those who posed a threat to Liu Yilin's safety before he could feel at ease to counterattack the others.
It was too late to call for backup now; by the time his men arrived, it would be too late. Thus, this time, he could only rely on himself.
"It's been a long time since I've had to fight. Bastards, you're forcing me to act."
Ning Beichen muttered through gritted teeth. Anyone familiar with Ning Beichen knew that Ning Yanwang was beginning to get angry.
It was a pity that he wasn't carrying any weapons at the moment, which put him in a passive situation. But this wouldn't stop Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen calmed himself down, even closing his eyes. A black and white television-like image appeared in his mind; this was a special sensory ability of his.
