Chapter 242
rprised expression. Even so, she still looked just as beautiful. This was the first time Qiu Guang had moved without her orders. All this while, she had thought Qiu Guang as a puppet, lifeless, and only kept him around because of his strict obedience. However, what happened now baffled her.
Ye Chong noticed from his movements that the middle-aged man had nifty footwork.
He was a combat expert, and a highly skilled one! It was apparent from the way the man moved with his speed and accuracy.
In that instant, Ye Chong’s muscles tensed. While his feet never left the ground, he was already full of energy, ready to defend himself.
It would be suicidal to be relaxed when within 10 meters of a skilled combat expert. Ye Chong understood the potential damage that could be incurred within this radius more than anyone.

Ye Chong’s minute physical responses were not unnoticed by the middle-aged man. His elbows lifted a little, his body inclined slightly, and his feet moved apart.

Qiu Man took a curious glance towards Guang, but did not see anything amiss. She decided to focus her attention back on the young man before her. His appearance had provoked that strange response from the usually pa.s.sive Guang. Besides, this young man called Takano was a strange character as he was.
Almost everyone knew the ident.i.ty of the one who supported Prometheus Group from behind the scenes. It would only be more unusual if none of the other powers send their spies here.
However, Qiu Man believed that this young man was a spy. The training for spies was different from the training given to combatants. Moreover, spies and combatants gave off very different vibes.
All of a sudden, Qiu Man felt that the situation had gotten much more complicated.
