Beihai Alliance, Changlan City.
The dilapidated hotel had been renovated and now sported a new signboard—’Dragon Fla Hotel’.
The hotel had been purchased by Xuan Long from the hands of the Dark Night Angels and had beco one of Dragon Fla rcenary Group’s strongholds.
At this mont, Xuan Long, along with An Long, the three brothers of Mo Bao, Li Wuji, and Zhang Wushang, were waiting at the gates of Changlan City.
"Isn’t that the Dragon Fla rcenary Group’s leader Xuan Long and his top brass? Why are they waiting at the city gates?"
"They must be here to welco so big shot, right?"
"Who could be so important that these big shots are lining up to greet?"
"Could it be that their boss, the Dragon King, has co again?"
"The Dragon King? You an the owner of Dragon Fla who wiped out the Dark Spider the mont he appeared, and then took on the Fallen Angels?"
"It must be him; who else could get the upper echelons of Dragon Fla to wait here?"
rcenaries coming in and out of the city were all whispering to each other as they looked at Xuan Long and the others standing by the gate.
Thud, thud, thud!
A uniform series of footsteps approached, and all at the gate turned their eyes toward the road.
A squad of robust n clad in camouflage uniforms ca running from afar. The group, numbering over six hundred, moved with completely synchronized steps, their footsteps sounding as if they ca from a single person.
When they saw this squad, the rcenaries at the gate all changed expressions. Judging by the squad’s orderly formation and their grim aura, it was clear that this was an exceptionally seasoned troop!
"Dragon King!"
"Dragon King!"
As the squad reached the gates, Xuan Long and the others went up to greet them, respectfully saluting a young man in his twenties who was leading the team.
"It really is the Dragon King!"
"The Dragon King has appeared again, wonder if another rcenary corps is going to disappear this ti?"
"Could it be the Fallen Angels rcenary Corps?"
"Impossible, Dragon Fla, Burst Fla, and Dragon Soul, the three big rcenary corps, have fought the Fallen Angels for so long with neither side gaining any advantage, rely winning so and losing so. Just a few hundred more people can’t possibly make a decisive difference!"
The rcenaries near the gate started speculating again.
"Let’s enter the city first, let the brothers rest a bit. Are the weapons and everything else ready?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
"Everything is ready!" Xuan Long nodded lightly.
"Let’s go, into the city!" Jiang Chen nodded and took the lead towards the city gates, with Xuan Long and the others stepping in behind him.
Outside the Dragon Fla Hotel, a blond-haired, blue-eyed youth stood with an elder at the entrance. When he saw a group of figures appear across the street, a brilliant smile spread across the youth’s face.
"Mr. Huo Huade, were you waiting for here?" Upon reaching the entrance of the hotel, Jiang Chen looked at Huo Huade and Ta Buduo with surprise.
Huo Huade smiled faintly, "Mr. Dragon King, we et again. Indeed, I have been waiting for you, to demonstrate to you the friendship of Dark Night Angel."
"Oh?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly, "I’ve already experienced the friendship of Dark Night Angel in my own country; thank you very much for protecting my wife and others. If Mr. Huo Huade could tell why Dark Night Angel would like to help , I would be even more grateful."
"No, no, no, the ti for that has not yet co. This ti I ca to et Mr. Dragon King because it has a direct connection with the matter you are out here to handle," Huo Huade waved his hand, smiling mysteriously.
"It has a direct connection with the matter I am out here to handle?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly and took a deep look at Huo Huade.
Shen Xiangtian, who stood behind and to the side of Jiang Chen, heard this and quietly stepped forward, taking a position where he could strike at Huo Huade in an instant.
"What are you trying to do!" Ta Buduo, behind Huo Huade, frowned and was about to step forward.
"Ta Buduo!"
Noticing Shen Xiangtian’s intention, Huo Huade shouted lowly, raising his hand to stop Ta Buduo from moving forward.
Then, he explained softly to Shen Xiangtian, "No, no, no, gentleman, please don’t misunderstand. I am not interested in the affairs of Fla Dragon Kingdom. My choice to investigate that person’s information is also to help Mr. Dragon King. Please believe , I am your friend, definitely not an enemy!"
Jiang Chen patted Shen Xiangtian on the shoulder gently and said softly, "In that case, let us go inside to talk."
"Certainly!" Huo Huade nodded with a light laugh.
The group entered the hotel, and Jiang Chen gave Chen Jiantao and the other nine team captains a nod. An Long took the others to arrange the rooms while the decision-makers followed Jiang Chen to the No. 1 Presidential Suite.
After glancing at the three Mo Bao brothers, Jiang Chen hesitated slightly before speaking softly, "The matter we’re about to discuss is related to Fla Dragon Kingdom. Think carefully, brothers—if you co to know this matter, you’ll be tied to Fla Dragon Kingdom. It’s for you to decide!"
"Dragon King, we belong to Dragon Fla!" the Mo Bao brothers said solemnly, their expressions becoming serious.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and nodded slightly, then turned to Huo Huade, "Mr. Huo Huade, you may speak. I hope what you have to say is truly related to the matter I have to handle. As of now, we indeed have no leads."
"Ha-ha, it must relate to the matter Mr. Dragon King is handling!" Huo Huade laughed once and his expression turned serious as he whispered, "Fang Mingyuan was taken to the Southern Country by two people from Beihai National Divine Palace."
Upon hearing Huo Huade start to speak, Chen Jiantao and the others showed a hint of surprise.
Then, Spirit You turned to the window, and Xie Long stepped toward the door. Both radiated the aura of Innate Grandmasters, sealing the entire room.
"Mr. Huo Huade, please continue," Jiang Chen said solemnly.
Huo Huade nodded slightly, whispering, "They went to the Southern Country, actually intending to distract the attention of Fla Dragon. Then they planned to move on from Southern Country to Beihai National. However, they did not expect their whereabouts to be discovered by a mber of the Li family from the LK Group, one of Southern Country’s top three conglorates. They were forced to be guests at the Li family’s estate, and since then, they have never left the estate."
"Are they dead or alive!" Jiang Chen asked in a stern voice.
"Alive! According to the news sent by our people in the Southern Country, Fang Mingyuan has not given in at all. He is still negotiating terms with Southern Country and Beihai National, demanding various benefits, not showing his hand unless he sees gain," Huo Huade spoke softly.
"He wouldn’t dare show his hand. If only one country had approached him, that country might guarantee his safety. But now there are two, and if he were to easily disclose what he knows, I fear that neither Southern Country nor Beihai National would let him live," Jiang Chen spoke coldly.
An spy can only serve one master; selling secrets to two masters would no longer ensure safety. Fang Mingyuan using his knowledge as leverage in negotiations with both countries was the most misguided move he could make!
