Chapter 274: Chapter 270: Fang Xiaocao’s Ambition
Tom and Taotie, with the quickest of motions, emptied their Molotov Cocktails and started running back to regroup with Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird in the cave.
“Princess Your Highness, we must hurry!”
“Burning all these corpses will produce toxic substances, and we don’t have that many gas masks.”
Tom shouted to Fang Xiaocao.
“Okay!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded in agreement.
“Lead the way!”
Fang Xiaocao instructed Tom.
Tom wasted no words and immediately turned to run down a side passage; Fang Xiaocao and the others quickly followed suit. It wasn’t until they had run for a kilometer and Fang Xiaocao couldn’t muster the strength to move further that they halted.
“I… I can’t go on…”
“I can’t run anymore…”
Fang Xiaocao removed her gas mask, bracing her hands on her knees and taking big gulps of fresh air.
She truly couldn’t endure after sprinting for about a kilometer.
Since entering the mountain, she hadn’t had a proper rest and was already exhausted.
Tom took out the terminal and glanced at it.
“There’s nothing special marked here; it should be safe. Let’s rest for a while,”
Tom said with a serious tone.
“Phew…”
Upon hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao sighed in relief.
She plopped down on the ground, utterly depleted, needing to rest for a bit.
Hummingbird sat beside Fang Xiaocao, massaging her legs to relax the muscles while taking the chance to catch her own breath. Hummingbird wasn’t particularly tired.
But professional habit dictated that she never pass up a chance to rest. It was her way to conserve energy.
It kept her always ready to maintain peak physical condition and combat performance.
Taotie and Tom gathered together to examine the treasure map on the terminal.
“Tom, do you think the treasure marked on this treasure map is still there?”
“Why do I have a feeling that it’s a lost cause?”
“That mysterious Pawnshop has been dumping bodies here, could they have missed discovering the treasure?”

Taotie asked with concern.
Upon hearing Taotie’s words, Tom narrowed his eyes, a contemplative expression crossing his face.
Tom thought Taotie’s worries were justified.
And it was very likely to be the case.
After all, nobody knew how long the Pawnshop had been entrenched here.
But judging by the state of the corpses, it seemed to have been quite a while.
The longer the Pawnshop had been here, the greater the chance that the treasure had been discovered.
For a moment, Tom also fell into deep thought.
Seeing Tom silent, Taotie smacked his lips listlessly and squatted to the side, silently waiting for Tom.
After pondering for a while, Tom sighed.
“Let’s just go and have a look!”
“If it’s really gone, then there’s nothing we can do,”
Tom said helplessly.
Taotie rolled his eyes, feeling deflated.
The journey had not been easy.
If they were to end up empty-handed, it would all have been in vain, leaving anyone feeling frustrated.
Tom stood up and walked over to Fang Xiaocao.
He shared his and Taotie’s concerns with her, and listening to Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao blinked and nodded, “It’s okay—”
“If the treasure is gone, then it’s gone.”
“Think of it as a chance to broaden your horizons.”
“As for the funding issue, don’t panic.”
“I still have some trump cards I haven’t played yet, enough to get us through for now.”
Fang Xiaocao smiled reassuringly at Tom.
Tom nodded, “Taotie and I can help earn the startup funds too!”
With Tom and Taotie’s skills, they could easily take on an assassination job and earn millions in commission. Working together, raising ten or eighteen million wouldn’t take long at all.
Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao simply smiled.
Fang Xiaocao had no intention of sending Tom and Taotie back to being assassins to make money.
Rather, she was thinking that it was time to cash in her Bitcoins.
She had hesitated before because of Hot Noodles’ warning, her own vulnerability, and lack of computer skills to evade pursuit effectively.
Now with Tom and Taotie around, there was no need to worry. Tom had expertise in various high technologies, including hacking. By having Tom hack in, they could cash out these Bitcoins, providing sufficient funds for their initial startup phase.
If that wasn’t enough, they could also turn to Hot Noodles.
She was building her own forces to ensure a better future for Hot Noodles. How could Hot Noodles not contribute?
Fang Xiaocao knew very well that the subordinates she was currently recruiting would all become future warriors under Hot Noodles’ command.
Thus, Fang Xiaocao wasn’t too worried about money at the moment. Instead, she was extremely curious about the mysterious pawnshop.
If possible, she wanted to dig up the pawnshop.
Fang Xiaocao was calculating her current enemies. Axi and Han Xue had been dealt with, and though they had killed Capricorn from the Blacklist, Taotie now stood in as the frontman, posing no immediate threat. However, a fierce battle was inevitable sooner or later, and Fang Xiaocao aspired to engulf the Blacklist using Taotie’s help in the end.
As long as she could successfully take over the Blacklist, even if it took a bit longer, it wouldn’t matter.
Even if it took ten or twenty years, as long as she could own the Blacklist, it would be a profitable deal.
After all, the Blacklist’s strength was formidable.
It wasn’t just about power, but also wealth.
Fang Xiaocao, even with cheats, would need hundreds of years to amass the wealth of the Blacklist.
By absorbing the Blacklist, she could become the undisputed queen of the underworld.
Besides the Blacklist, there was also the Goddess of Vengeance.
If she could swallow that up too, nothing would be better.
If she couldn’t make it her own, then she’d just have to destroy it.
They had already killed one of their people on her side.
Being discovered was only a matter of time.
And then there was Ragnarok, where Hummingbird was.
They dared to tread on China’s territory, so they must die.
Even if their headquarters were in Dahan, Fang Xiaocao still had no intention of letting Ragnarok off the hook.
“One day, I’ll take you to Dahan and wipe out your headquarters, erasing Ragnarok from history!” Fang Xiaocao declared fiercely in her heart.
Fang Xiaocao never denied that she was angry and rebellious, because it was true.
Aside from the Blacklist, the Goddess of Vengeance, and Ragnarok, there was another enemy that Fang Xiaocao found to be a thorny problem.
That was the person who had repeatedly schemed against her.
This person likely had a sort of Golden Finger as well.
Highly probable that, just like herself, they could foresee future events, at least partially.
She was hiding among her circle of close girlfriends.
Zhi Qi, Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, Yun Luoshu!
That person was concealed among these four women. Besides them, within this group, there was also an agent from the Blacklist, codenamed Thousand Faces!
This master of disguise excelled in creating lifelike masks and never showed their true face, not even Taotie knew what they actually looked like.
Fang Xiaocao was determined to ferret out these two.
And then…
The first person must be eliminated.
As for Thousand Faces…
If she can be turned, all the better.
If not…
They’ll be killed together!
