"You...heh heh!"
Magerquil, facing the gunpoint, chuckled and spoke, "If this were in a dark alley, I’d worry that you might sneakily shoot , but now we’re on a busy street, right in front of the Dark Angel’s property—I don’t believe you’d dare to shoot openly here!"
While speaking, Magerquil took a step forward.
"Sorry!" A voice rang out, causing Scar and the others, who were ready to pull the trigger, to stop in their tracks.
Si Daba erged from the hotel, glanced at Scar and his group, and stepped in front of Magerquil and his people.
After surveying the crowd, Si Daba spoke with a light chuckle, "Sorry, everyone, the hotel is closed for business today and will not be accepting any guests. Please leave."
"What?"
"What’s going on?"
"The Dark Angels... have they joined forces with the Dragon Fla?"
"That can’t be, right?"
The people’s faces changed dramatically, staring at Si Daba with shock and disbelief.
A look of sheer incredulity flashed across Magerquil’s eyes as he watched Si Daba tensely, probing, "Mr. Si Daba, have you ford an alliance?"
Magerquil’s heart was in knots. If the Dark Angel had tead up with Dragon Fla, then their Dark Spider rcenary Corps should get out fast. Having offended the number one rcenary group in the world, it was going to be an ugly end for them.
Though the world’s top ten rcenary groups were on a similar level of prestige, the Dark Angel rcenary Corps always stood at the pinnacle, a group all others could only look up to—aside from the second-largest rcenary group, the Fallen Angels rcenary Corps, which had always aid to surpass them. The combined strength of the other groups could barely contend with the Dark Angels.
If such a formidable existence allied with their sworn enemy, then the Dark Spiders were utterly dood.
"Alliance? What alliance?"
Si Daba replied with a calm deanor, "Mr. Magerquil, you’re overthinking. Since we operate a hotel and there’s a breakthrough inside, of course we need to close to avoid disturbances. That’s our custor service principle, what does it have to do with forming an alliance?"
"Moreover," Si Daba paused, his eyes brimming with pride, "Mr. Magerquil, do you really think anyone is worthy of forming an alliance with us Dark Angels?"
Magerquil was stunned for a mont, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as the Dark Angel hadn’t allied with Dragon Fla, all was well. As for Si Daba’s arrogance, no one objected, for the Dark Angel was indeed powerful!

That night, the news that a Paladin Knight was added to the Dark Angel and another Paladin Knight to Dragon Fla spread throughout the entire faction power!
On a forum created by the union of several major underground powers, this pair of uncertain news beca the hot topic of discussion.
"Is it true? Dragon Fla added a new Paladin Knight? Dark Spider is going to have a serious headache!"
"Wasn’t it the Dark Angel that got a new Paladin Knight?"
"Any eyewitnesses? Could you describe what happened?"
"I was there in Changlan City at the ti, rushed there as soon as I heard—I know!" a forum user nad ’God Is a Fool’ claid to be an eyewitness.
"Spill it, co on, spill it!"
’GodIsAnIdiot’ rapidly typed, "I was right there in Changlan City at the ti, doing..."
This person indeed was a witness and went into detail about the situation at that ti.
"Looking at it this way, the Paladin Knight who broke through shouldn’t be from Dragon Fla," said a forum user called ’Sage’.
"The Sage, it’s the Sage!"
"Sage, analyze this for us!"
"Yes, yes, do your analysis!"
Forum mbers eagerly urged the Sage to speak.
The Sage didn’t often comnt on forums, but almost everything deduced by him had turned into reality. So had even tried to uncover this Sage’s identity by hiring hackers from their organizations, but no matter who investigated, they were led back to their own lairs, giving these factions quite a scare.
Which faction didn’t have enemies all over the world? If their lairs were exposed, they’d be finished!
Because of this, several factions had moved their lairs and once the news spread, no one tried to investigate the Sage’s identity again. Many believed that the Sage must be from the Northern Confederation’s special departnts.
It was known worldwide that the investigative and infiltration abilities of a certain departnt within the Northern Confederation were unparalleled, with spies lurking in many nations except the Fla Dragon Kingdom. It’s not that the Fla Dragon Kingdom had none, but compared to other countries, their number was pitifully small!
"From these points, it’s evident that the breakthrough wasn’t soone from the Dragon Fla rcenary Group. First, the person broke through in a hotel in Changlan City. Yes, that hotel was booked by Dragon Fla, but besides Dragon Fla, there were also Dark Angel mbers inside! Dragon Fla is now in absolute hostility with Dark Spider, so how could they so easily expose that they had a new Paladin Knight?"
"Second, Dragon Fla did set up defenses outside the hotel, but according to ’GodIsAnIdiot’, Dragon Fla hastily put up their protection. A breakthrough of a Paladin Knight is a big deal, how could it be so hasty?"
"Third, the hotel suddenly locked down. If it was soone from Dragon Fla breaking through, why would Dark Angel lock the hotel? What benefit is it to them to help Dragon Fla? It’s unlikely that Dragon Fla is even worth Dark Angel’s attention, right?"
The Sage stopped his analysis there and said no more.
"Right! What Sage said makes sense; it must have been a Dark Angel mber who beca a Paladin Knight!"
"Exactly, the Dragon Fla rcenary Group was established not long ago, how could they have so many Paladin Knights already!"
"I heard that the leader of Dragon Fla even has the strength of a Paladin Knight, though I don’t know if that’s true or not!"
"Regardless of whether Dragon Fla’s leader is a Paladin Knight, it’s certain that the person who broke through this ti isn’t from Dragon Fla. That’s a solid hamr!"
Suddenly, the forum’s tide of opinion turned unanimously in agreent that the person who made the breakthrough in Changlan City was not from Dragon Fla rcenary Group but from the Dark Angels.
Phew!
"Even the Sage is saying that, so it definitely wasn’t soone from Dragon Fla rcenary Group who made the breakthrough," Maguire sat in front of his computer in a hotel in Changlan City and let out a sigh of relief. Displayed on his computer was the forum for faction powers.
"But why did the people from Spa Training Camp suddenly go back? And why did the boss ask us to capture Scar from Dragon Fla alive? If we’re to capture soone, shouldn’t it be Xuan Long or the Dragon King?"
As Maguire pondered the recent ssage from his father, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, his face filled with confusion.
Could there be another identity behind this Scar?
