After her clone swallowed and "digested" that thing, Jiang Mian sensed something was off.
There seemed to be a subtle force of [Radiance] imprinted inside it. Its purpose... She guessed it was probably some kind of "beacon."
She hadn't expected Ye Chenyang to have held something back, deliberately leaving it alive so he could use that mark to track down the Mutual Aid Society's hideout.
Had she... accidentally ruined his plan?
But...
That thing was seriously high quality.
Even in its badly damaged state, by her rough estimate, it was equivalent to seven high-quality Third-tier targets in peak condition.
Adding in the [Tide Hunter] from earlier, her core storage had easily reached four-fifths full.

Ye Chenyang sensed the mark disappear completely and turned his gaze away.
It seemed to have lost its "signal" the instant it went into the sea. Something in the water had probably disposed of it.

She seemed innocent, but she
