Just like when selecting an agent in the Eagle Country, this trip to Europe was handled by a Splitter. Tang Shizhe now treasures his life dearly and will absolutely not leave the Xia Kingdom until he is certain of his safety.

Heaven knows if that so-called Three-Tail Gang he offended back then has already locked onto his location through some trail of clues, only waiting for him to go abroad because they couldn't make a move in the Xia Kingdom's environment.

Therefore, Tang Shizhe prefers to let a Splitter handle such long-distance activities.

On the flight to Dunlun, Tang Er, dressed in a high-end suit, had already undergone simple camouflage. Not only did he wear a fake mustache and sport a slicked-back hairstyle, but he had also prepared a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

As for things like human-skin masks, those would have to wait until landing; when in close contact with people, that sort of thing could still reveal flaws.

"Sir, would you like coffee or a beverage?" a flight attendant of Xia descent walked over to Tang Shizhe and asked softly.

That's right, Tang Er's body had been taken over by Tang Shizhe. Through the Mental Network, Tang Shizhe could remotely sense everything Tang Er felt and could even control his body.

Originally, before he evolved, the burden of using this ability was simply too heavy, so he had never taken over a Splitter's body before.

But this search for an agent was the perfect opportunity for Tang Shizhe to practice. After all, even if his physical body evolves further in the future, he is still "flesh and blood."

When doing dangerous things, Tang Shizhe still prefers to let a Splitter scout the path while he takes over the body.

"No, thank you. We'll be arriving soon." Tang Shizhe shook his head gently.

An hour later, at Dunlun Airport, Tang Shizhe placed his luggage into the trunk of the car sent by the hotel to pick him up, then sat in the back seat.

"Tang Yi, how is it? Have you found a suitable candidate?" Tang Shizhe, having finished experiencing the body-hosting, withdrew from Tang Er's body and asked Tang Yi, who was beside him.

"Found one. This guy named Victor fits our recruitment criteria perfectly." Tang Yi handed a tablet to Tang Shizhe and pointed to the photo on the screen.

"He was admitted to Cambridge University at sixteen, started his master's at eighteen, and his doctorate at twenty. He holds degrees in economics, law, and physics."

"At twenty-two, he founded his own investment company and turned his assets from one hundred thousand pounds to one million pounds in a single year."

"At twenty-five, his investments failed, leaving him two million pounds in debt."

"Unwilling to give up, he mortgaged his ancestral home to raise funds for a fresh start, but unfortunately, he fell into a trap meticulously designed by a fraud ring, which swindled him out of his last one million pounds."

"Now he is personally two million pounds in debt, and because he intentionally injured someone while confronting the fraud ring, he was sentenced to three months in prison. To this day, no company is willing to hire him, and he is currently working as a waiter in a bar. Furthermore, his mother recently fell critically ill and urgently needs a large sum of money for surgery!" Tang Yi reported Victor's information in a low voice.

Tang Shizhe felt that this man might be desperate by now. After all, life was already so difficult, and with his mother falling critically ill at such a time, if there was no money for the surgery, she might not survive the summer.

"Very good. Where there is demand, there is supply. If we provide what he desperately needs, we can make him work for us. If he shows any disloyalty, send a death squad to eliminate him!" Tang Shizhe signaled for Tang Yi to send the information to Tang Er.

Tang Er, who had already returned to the hotel and dropped off his luggage, put on the human-skin mask and walked out of the hotel onto the street.

He casually hailed a taxi and headed straight for the bar where Victor worked.

Seeing that Tang Er had entered the bar, Tang Shizhe took over his body once again; it was better to see the agent with his own eyes.

Sitting down in a private booth, Tang Shizhe tossed a stack of pounds onto the table, and instantly, several beauties walked over with eyes gleaming.

Whether they were white or not didn't matter, and their figures didn't matter either; in this world, having cash is what matters most.

These women paid a high entry fee every day to roam the bar, all for the sake of finding such suckers.

As long as these suckers bought them some jewelry or bags, their investment would be recouped, and they could even eat and drink for free for several days.

"Waiter!" Tang Shizhe, holding the two beauties who had crowded in, waved at Victor.

Hearing the voice, Victor turned and walked toward Tang Shizhe. Although he had seen many rich young masters like Tang Shizhe in the bar during this time, he still couldn't help but show a look of envy when he saw those two beauties.

Back when he hadn't fallen from grace, the one sitting in that seat with beauties in his arms was him!

But after his bad luck, the girls he used to hang out with all pretended not to know him. If it weren't for the fact that he spent so much in this bar and was quite familiar with the owner, he wouldn't even have gotten this waiter job!

"What can I get for you, sir?" Victor stood before Tang Shizhe and asked respectfully.

"Come sit down. I have something I want to talk to you about." Tang Shizhe beckoned him over while stuffing the banknotes from the table into the cleavage of the two beauties.

"Go on, help me order two bottles of wine, and keep the rest." Tang Shizhe patted the two beauties on the rear to let them stand up and leave.

Seeing that they could get money without having to go to bed, the two beauties immediately gave Tang Shizhe a flirtatious wink, then turned and headed to the bar to order the wine.

"What is it?" Victor sat down opposite Tang Shizhe and asked cautiously. He didn't know why this big-spending Asian man was looking for him.

"Victor, born in 1980, first home address..." Tang Shizhe rattled off Victor's detailed information in one breath.

"How do you know that! Who are you!" Victor stood up defensively, ready to bolt if anything seemed wrong.

"I am the person who has come to help you." Tang Shizhe revealed a smile he considered kind.

"Come, come, sit down!" Tang Shizhe pressed his hand down, and Victor sat back down, half-doubting.

"As far as I know, you are currently two million pounds in debt, your mother has fallen critically ill, and your house and car have all been sold, right!" Tang Shizhe crossed his legs and asked him.

"That's right. What do you want? Are you here to mock me?" Victor revealed a bitter smile.

"No! What if I told you I am willing to pay for your mother's medical expenses and help you pay off all your debts? What would you be willing to give me in return?" Tang Shizhe asked Victor with a mysterious smile on his lips.

"I... I am willing to sell this life to you! Provided you don't make me deal drugs or commit terrorist attacks!" Victor gritted his teeth and said.

"Very good, I like straightforward people like you! This is my room number. Come find me in my room this afternoon, and I will give you what you need!" Tang Shizhe handed the room card to Victor and then turned to leave.

"Those two drinks are for you. Take your time." Tang Shizhe waved his hand, pushed open the bar door, and walked out.
