With a flicker, Yun Che appeared a short distance in front of the old man and looked him up and down.
The old man looked frail and exuded an aura of decay, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss, as though they held endless secrets.
Yun Che grew wary. Someone who possessed a Super SSS-Rank Mission was certainly not as simple as he appeared.

The old man slowly raised his head and swept his gaze over Yun Che. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly into a meaningful smile.

Yun Che reached out to catch the scroll and slowly opened it. Information
