Huang Feihu continued, "And you, you will spread this truth and also intimidate those petty villains, letting them know that so costs are too high for them to bear!"
Facing Huang Feihu's gaze, Huang Shangtian replied calmly and firmly, "Yes!"
After speaking, he said no more, showing neither concern for his brother nor inquiry about the opponent's situation, like a cold machine that only knows how to execute orders.
After Huang Feihu's words, a dozen ghostly figures appeared silently behind Huang Shangtian, also standing quietly and wordlessly, making the scene oddly awkward.
Seeing everyone gathered together, Huang Feihu suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Flying Tiger Institute, listen to my command!"
"Here!"
A dozen voices responded simultaneously, sounding as if one person was speaking, yet with the montum of thousands!
"This ti, you will follow Huang Shangtian's orders directly. Every word and sentence he utters will be as if from personally." Huang Feihu suddenly raised his voice, "Do you understand?!"
"Understood!"
Another synchronized response, making Huang Feihu smile boldly, "Good! It's been a long ti since you last took action. Let's see whether you are still sharp as a knife or dull at day's end!"
…
Leading a dozen elite operatives from the Flying Tiger Institute, Huang Shangtian began his journey to the Northern Desert.
Two hours later, aboard Huang Feihu's private plane, the group landed about fifty kiloters away from the hotel where Huang Xiadi was held hostage, switching to cars to continue their journey.
The purpose of this was naturally to avoid alerting the enemy. According to their plan, they decided to infiltrate stealthily and then take rescue asures, with no intention of negotiating.
If not for this, landing the plane directly on the hotel's rooftop would have been the best approach.
——
Elsewhere, in the top-floor suite of the hotel, only Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan were inside, making the large room appear sowhat empty.
"Aren't you worried that the Thirteenth Young Master of the royal family will escape?" Lin Bingxuan couldn't help but remind Xiao Tian, who was still in the mood to drink, "Don't forget, there's a skilled operative by his side."
"Oh, him? I know." Xiao Tian nodded seriously, saying, "If you're worried he'll wake up and escape with the Thirteenth Young Master, I think you can be completely at ease."
"Because he won't be waking up anyti soon!"
Lin Bingxuan frowned and tentatively asked, "You didn't kill him, did you?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Tian denied, "Don't think of as so terrible, just killing at a whim, alright?"
"Then what do you an by saying he won't wake up?" Lin Bingxuan asked curiously.
"Of course, I used so thods!"
Xiao Tian explained, "You've heard the saying, right? What's it called? Oh yes, doctors make the best assassins; I don't rember the exact words, but that's the gist."
"So you're saying you used so drug to knock that skilled operative out, and he won't wake up for a while?" Lin Bingxuan was a bit amazed that such a drug existed.
"Exactly!" Xiao Tian confird seriously, "Even if he wakes up, he won't be able to fight, so you don't need to worry about that at all."
Lin Bingxuan was still not at ease, "Even if he doesn't wake up, what if the royal family's operatives co and secretly rescue him, won't our efforts be in vain?"
"You're only half right." Xiao Tian gave a confident smile, "They will definitely sneak in, but our efforts won't be in vain."
"So certain?!" Lin Bingxuan was sowhat baffled, although she had absolute confidence in Xiao Tian, the gravity of the situation made her anxious. Any mistake could be troubleso.
With a hostage in hand, things were manageable; if rescued, obtaining the other half of the pendant would be even harder.
After all, just a few hours ago, the issue of He Shen's fading mory was still fresh in her mind, prolonging the matter would only be detrintal!
After a while, Xiao Tian checked his wristwatch, then stood up and said, "Let's go. The royal family should have arrived by now!"
Lin Bingxuan frowned. She had already extended her Perception Power to the fullest; theoretically, even a fly approaching Huang Xiadi's room couldn't escape her senses.
Yet Xiao Tian had only glanced at his watch to confirm the royal mbers' arrival, which was a huge difference.
In fact, having served countless tis in rescue and kidnapping roles, Xiao Tian had accumulated a mature experience for such situations, and a bit of thought would lead to an accurate prediction.
As the dominators of the Northern Border, if the royal family really ca to negotiate with him, it'd be a ghost story.
As for Huang Shangtian and others' arrival ti, just knowing the opponent's general action plan and checking the route from the Northern Border allowed for a near-exact estimation.
…
At this mont, in his despair, Huang Xiadi finally saw a glimr of hope. Seeing the tall figure in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "Jiu, you finally... mmm."
Before he could finish, Huang Shangtian covered his mouth, then said, "Keep it down, do you want everyone to hear?!"
Huang Xiadi nodded repeatedly to show his understanding, then whispered, "Jiu, quickly untie and let's leave here first."
But Huang Shangtian shook his head, "Before coming, Father specifically instructed to capture the person who kidnapped you, to intimidate those petty villains!"
It was obvious without thinking; Huang Xiadi could guess Huang Shangtian was mimicking Huang Feihu's words. Jiu was good in every way, just a bit overly rigid, never compromising on anything.
If it were elsewhere, or before knowing Xiao Tian's Hunter identity, hearing Huang Shangtian's words, Huang Xiadi might have been very glad, finally able to vent.
However, after learning Xiao Tian's identity, he was determined to dissuade Huang Shangtian. He quickly said, "Jiu, listen, the person is actually a Hunt..."
Before he could finish, he saw figure after figure that he was exceptionally familiar with, appearing behind Huang Shangtian, one by one, making it unbelievable for Huang Xiadi.
"This, this, this is…" Huang Xiadi was too excited to speak, swallowing his previous warning because with this mighty force, there wasn't much to fear from a Hunter!
"Father brought the uncles from the Flying Tiger Institute out for you this ti," Huang Shangtian said with so envy.
Huang Xiadi slowly grew excited. Having grown up hearing countless legends of the Flying Tiger Institute's elites, he understood what this ant and looked forward to what ca next...
