When getting off the vehicle, the supervisor intentionally stood in front of Yun You and the others, pointing to a high place at a distant factory.

There, a man with somewhat lazy demeanor and red hair stood on a steel bridge, surveying the entire mine with the posture of a ruler.

This man was the actual ruler of the G Zone, chairman of Tiger Head Heavy Industry Group, the Civil Protection Officer, Black Tiger.

He claimed to be meeting the three, but in reality, he merely stood at a high place, casting a casual glance at them, his expression full of superiority.

Black Tiger's gaze swept past Jack, glanced at Frost Moon's chip, and finally settled on Yun You.

At that moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened, as if scrutinizing the fellow Apprentice Death God.

Simultaneously, Yun You happened to raise her head, meeting Black Tiger's gaze.

"..."

In the silence, the young girl slightly squinted her eyes, clenched her fists tightly behind her back where Black Tiger couldn't see.

Black Tiger, whose real name is Yang Lie, aged 29, hails from Nest City Central City No. 3, part of the Mad Dog Sequence.

Unlike typical Mad Dog Death Gods who dislike equipping too many prosthetic bodies, Black Tiger's body is extensively modified; all ribs replaced with alloy steel plates, his right arm completely transformed into a silver steel arm, with a prosthetic blade about 2 meters long embedded in his palm.

He wore the Civil Protection Officer's exclusive blue air force officer uniform, medals hanging on his chest, a big red cape draped over his back, and a large-brimmed hat resembling Old Jin's, presenting quite a majestic figure.

Moreover, Black Tiger himself was quite handsome, with short red hair paired with bold facial features, giving off a very "upright" feeling.

This attire, combined with his faint smile, often misled those unfamiliar with him to think that he must be a righteous good official and a benevolent person.

But as the saying goes, appearances can be deceiving; the true face of this guy is completely different from what he portrays.

Beneath his handsome visage hides a cruel psychopath who, for the momentary thrill, would slice innocent people into pieces with a knife and arrange dismembered limbs into "artistic patterns."

The devilish demeanor he displayed during slaughter is something Yun You firmly remembers to this day.

It's precisely for this reason that Yun You started trembling the moment she confronted him, not out of fear, but from excitement...

Why would she choose this mission? Wasn't it to get close to Black Tiger, this father-killer, and find an opportunity to gather information about this guy, planning future revenge?

Now, the killer stands right before her eyes, how could she not tremble with excitement?

That said, despite her excitement, Yun You still tried her best to remain composed, preventing any flaws from showing.

Black Tiger has never met her before, though they crossed paths a year ago, the "great" Apprentice Death God certainly wouldn't bother remembering an ant's face.

Yun You wouldn't let him recall her, at least not before successfully avenging her father; she mustn't expose her identity.

For now, she's just Wu Ming, an Apprentice Death God here to do missions for Black Tiger, Wu Ming.

"Interesting."

Black Tiger looked Yun You up and down, golden eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Apparently, he noticed Yun You's age.

A sixteen-year-old Apprentice Death God is quite rare, even for someone as knowledgeable as him, he's hardly encountered such a thing.

Out of curiosity, he pointed a finger skyward.

This is code among Apprentice Death Gods, meaning: "May I ask if you have a teacher? If so, who is it?"

Due to the "Mentor Mechanism," most Apprentice Death Gods would afford their peers equal status respect, regardless of Death God tier differences, they regarded each other's personal statuses as equal, without low-class being obligatory to bow before high-class.

However, all this is dependent on them actually having mentors.

Without a mentor backing them, it's another matter entirely.

Black Tiger was probing Yun You because a young genius like her was incredibly rare anywhere.

If she has a teacher, it implies she's likely the offspring of a major family, worthy of Black Tiger's acquaintance.

On the other hand, if she doesn't, she would be a "wild" genius, and Black Tiger would alter his approach, attempting to recruit her as a subordinate or disciple.

The Apprentice Death God's intentions were so evident that Yun You completely guessed his meaning.

Thus, after a brief silence, the young girl crossed her arms, making an "X" gesture in front of her chest.

This too is code, signifying: "I have a teacher, but my mentor is low-profile and unwilling to be disturbed, so please excuse yourself."

With one statement, Yun You neither denied having "background," severing his recruitment intentions, nor revealed Old Jin's name, dissuading Black Tiger's intention to make acquaintances.

Handled like this, even if Black Tiger remained interested, he could only silently sigh, wave his hand casually, then turn away.

Unfamiliar with Yun You's background, he naturally wouldn't dare do anything rash.

Besides, this guy has both money and power now, like a tyrant in G Zone, no need to recruit anyone.

If unwilling to make acquaintances, then so be it, it doesn't affect his enjoyment...

Watching his indifferent back, Yun You slowly lowered her hands, for a moment, a hint of cold killing intent flashed in her eyes.

But soon, returned to normal.

Now isn't the time for revenge; her priority is to complete the current mission, and once stronger, the opportunity to defeat her enemy will come.

"Lead the way."

Yun You turned and instructed the supervisor.

"Yes, madam."

The supervisor nodded, then started to lead the way at the front.

"Mine No. 21 used to be specifically for extracting special metal — Red Steel. Due to certain radiation this metal poses, possibly causing unknown harm to the human body, the mine was placed at the edge of the mining field. Please follow me along the edge paths."

As the supervisor explained, he led the way.

The three following had donned heavy full-cover protective suits and gas masks.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination — at the edge of the mining field, an area isolated by yellow tape and electronic barriers.

In the very center of the area is the entrance to the tunnel.

It's not large, about the size of an ordinary subway entrance, having a staircase for four to walk downwards, leading to the dark depths underground.

Whether from psychological factors or other reasons, just standing at the entrance, everyone could feel gusts of cold wind flowing from the cave, chilling their backs.

"This is it."

The supervisor wiped sweat off his forehead and cautiously inquired: "Would you need supplies like food and water? We can provide some ordinary supplies and equipment here..."

"No need."

Yun You shook her head and beckoned to Jack and Frost Moon.

Thereupon, the three of them stepped forward, heading towards the underground tunnel, not looking back.

The internship mission thus begins.
