“A cup of crimson red wine, gently swaying in a tall glass, under the moonlight, rendering the wine with a mysterious hue.
The scar at the corner of the man’s eye didn’t make him look ugly; on the contrary, combined with that inexplicable smile, it seemed to add a touch of allure.
“President, three resource vehicles and the old woman were all robbed, and we haven’t been able to reach Elder Jin either…” The vice president of the Martial Arts Guild looked at the man sitting on the sofa and spoke softly.
“Meow!”
A huge black cat leaped onto the sofa and lay in the man’s arms.
Putting the wine glass aside, the man’s face carried an indescribable smile, “So, it’s confirmed to be the Fearless Alliance.”
“I have investigated, and it’s very likely,” the vice president of the Martial Arts Alliance replied.
“Oh… very likely?” The man chuckled.
“I can confirm that it was indeed the Fearless Alliance, but we haven’t found any evidence. However, their methods match the Fearless Alliance’s style. I have also investigated other suspicious forces, and they can be completely ruled out, leaving only the Fearless Alliance.” The vice president of the Martial Arts Alliance spoke truthfully.
“Heh…” The man’s lips slightly curved, “Robbing a shipment makes sense, but kidnapping Elder Jin is quite interesting.”
“President, I found out that the woman went to the Crimson Flame Academy. You know, the headmaster there is highly skilled in hypnosis… Moreover, she hired many high-level mercenaries to perform tasks for her,” the vice president said.
“Are you saying her memories have returned?” the man asked.
“Not necessarily, but I think it’s very likely,” the vice president replied after a moment of contemplation.
“I hope his memories recover soon; otherwise, what’s the point?” The man picked up the wine glass again and took a sip.
“And… President, Nie Linglong’s ambitions are really vast. Are we really going to cooperate with her… no, with the forces behind her?” The vice president frowned.
“The main faction, huh?” The man pondered.
“President, you should know what the main faction wants. They won’t give up easily when it comes to the Independent State,” the vice president said.
“Hehe, it’s just mutual use,” the man’s lips curled slightly. “The good show is about to begin, isn’t it?”
…
The next day at the Asura Headquarters,
Early in the morning, Lin Que found Seye Han in a hurry and said, “Brother Nine, I just received news that Tumen and Tianhen have contacted various major underground organizations in the Independent State to hold a meeting.”
Hearing this, Seye Han put down the document in his hand. “Hold a meeting?”
“Yes, I don’t know what those two big shots are up to. They suddenly called for a meeting… It’s said that all the prominent organizations in the outskirts and underground of the Independent State have been invited. Shall we go or not?” Lin Que asked in confusion.
“Let’s go.”
Seye Han didn’t hesitate. They were in a cooperative relationship with Tumen and Tianhen, so attending such a meeting was a matter of giving face.
“And another thing I found out is that they specially invited the Fearless Alliance this time. What does that mean?” Lin Que was puzzled, as the Fearless Alliance had always been a lone wolf and didn’t care about anyone’s face.
“Could it be related to what happened last night?” Lin Que muttered.
Upon hearing that the Fearless Alliance was invited, Seye Han didn’t seem surprised. He calmly said, “We’ll know when we go.”
Lin Que stole a glance at him, “Oh…”
He suddenly felt that Brother Nine agreeing to go was probably not because of the meeting but rather for a date???”
