"Of course," Lu Zhengfeng nodded.
"Lei Ting, if you fail this task again, I will strip you of your qualification to participate in the Green List competition," Liao Mingkui said coldly.
"Yes, disciple will not disappoint master and martial uncle again," Lei Ting replied solemnly.
Island Country, Tokyo.
In a room filled with the style of the Island Country, Morita Taichi, the family head of the Morita Family, and Tagawa Banki, the family head of the Tagawa Family, were seated. In front of them was a pot of sake, but both of their faces looked very unsightly.
"It’s really unexpected. We’ve planned for so long and were just about to succeed when suddenly everything fell apart and all our efforts were in vain."
Morita Taichi slamd his palm onto the table, his expression grim and his eyes flashing with anger.
The sabotage of their base by Huaxia’s Special Security Bureau, with all the genetic research data and materials obtained by the Huaxia governnt, naturally infuriated the masterminds, Morita Taichi and Tagawa Banki.
You must understand that this genetic research plan was sothing both families had put a lot of effort into, and they were only one step away from success, only to end up losing everything.
"Hmph, we can’t just let this matter go," Tagawa Banki said coldly after taking a sip of sake.
"According to the last ssage from Tian Zhong, the reason why the base was exposed is all because of a young man nad Ye Luo," Tagawa Banki said gravely.
Morita Taichi’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of cold light flashing through them. "The sa bastard who killed my son."
"Exactly."
"I sent our Morita Family Guard Squad captain to kill him, but the mission was not successful, and he was killed by Ye Luo instead, which is simply unbearable."
"No matter what, we must avenge this. This child must die," Tagawa Banki’s eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent.
"What do you plan to do? Send a family expert?" Morita Taichi looked at Tagawa Banki.
"No need, let Sakura Ryuu do it. They are the best at assassinations," Tagawa Banki’s eyes flashed with a sinister glint.
Huaxia, Capital City.
Situ Family.
At this mont, all the direct and collateral descendants of the Situ Family were gathered outside the main gate, including Situ Yunchao, the family head of the Situ Family, and his two sons, Situ Ao and Situ Wentian, as if they were welcoming so important visitors.
"Wen Tian, why would the grandson of the Grand Elder of Tianzong suddenly co to the secular world?" Situ Yunchao looked at Situ Wentian with so confusion.
"I haven’t returned to the Sect recently and am not quite clear about it, but Elder Yang Jian is the Grand Elder of Tianzong, holding the highest status, so we must not neglect him," Situ Wentian said gravely.
"I’m well aware of that," Situ Yunchao nodded.
Just then, a row of cars hastily drove over, and the gazes of Situ Yunchao and the others uniformly shifted in that direction.
The car doors opened one after another, and first, a group of n dressed in white robes and holding longswords stepped out, each with an air of restraint, their eyes sparkling with intelligence, and their temples prominently bulging—clearly all experts. Furthermore, these n were all at the Innate Peak Stage.
Witnessing this scene, the people from the Situ Family present couldn’t help but marvel. It wasn’t that they lacked experts at the Innate Peak Stage, but to have more than a dozen of such experts serving as guards was indeed a rare sight.
Then, the door to the central car opened, and a young man with long hair, wearing a white robe, stepped out. With his refined and handso features, he stood out remarkably, looking every bit the elegant young master, especially in these retro clothes which might lead the uninford to believe he was a young noble who had traveled from ancient tis.
However, this person exuded an unfathomable aura yet simultaneously emitted a domineering presence, making others feel as if he should naturally be their leader. This man was none other than Yang Jian, the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Hidden Sect Tianzong, whom Situ Yunchao and the others had co to greet.
Tianzong was an absolute top-tier power within the Hidden Sects, with vast influence, and the position of the Grand Elder was second only to that of the Sect Master—or rather, an existence that paralleled the Sect Master. One could imagine how high Yang Jian’s status was, far surpassing that of Situ Wentian, who was rely an Inner Sect Disciple of Tianzong.
Following closely behind Yang Jian were four middle-aged n in white robes, with square faces and stern expressions, each emitting an equally unfathomable aura that made it difficult for others to face them directly—undoubtedly all first-rate masters.
Upon seeing these four, Situ Yunchao’s heart skipped a beat. These n were definitely warriors of the Saint Realm. To have four such formidable Saint Realm experts as guards, this Yang Jian was truly defying the heavens.
"Brother Yang, welco to the Situ Family. Your visit is truly an honor for our family," said Situ Wentian, approaching with a beaming smile, his previous haughty disdain completely retracted.
"Haha, Brother Situ, you flatter . I’ve always heard you say that this mundane world is far more interesting than our sects. I’ve specifically co to appreciate its charm and will be counting on you to show around," said Yang Jian with a smile.
"Welco, Young Master Yang, to the Situ Family. The honor is indeed ours!" Situ Yunchao stepped forward and greeted Yang Jian with a slight bow of respect.
"This must be the Clan Leader of the Situ Family, the father of Brother Situ, yes?" Yang Jian said indifferently.
"Exactly, Brother Yang. This is my father, Situ Yunchao," replied Situ Wentian, nodding.
"By the way, Brother Situ, didn’t you ntion you had a sister before? I heard she is quite beautiful. I wonder if I might have the chance to et her?" Yang Jian casually remarked.
Situ Wentian’s eyes flickered before he responded, "Indeed, my sister is currently not in Zhonghai. However, I can ask my father to contact her so she can return to Capital City."
"Then good. I’ll look forward to seeing just how beautiful your sister is," Yang Jian said with a laugh, while Situ Yunchao and Situ Wentian exchanged glances, their eyes twinkling with an unusual light.
Qin Group, CEO’s Office.
Qin Yuru frowned as she watched the video on her computer of Ling Qingya announcing the cancellation of her engagent with Ye Luo, her gaze flashing with complex emotions.
Picking up her phone, Qin Yuru looked at Ye Luo’s na in her contacts and let out a small sigh, her expression conflicted, her emotions turbulent.
At that mont, there was a knock on the office door, then a man in a suit entered. He was Xiang Tiandong, the deputy general manager of Qin Group and Qin Yuru’s most capable assistant.
"What’s the situation?" Qin Yuru asked, her eyes turning to Xiang Tiandong.
"Madam President, those shareholders are currently making secret contacts. Moreover, Zhang Group, Bi Group, and Glorious Group seem to have joined forces with Century Group. The situation both internally and externally is unstable, and the circumstances are quite unfavorable for us," reported Xiang Tiandong solemnly.
