After hearing Shen Zuimo's words, Han Shengjun, who hadn't tasted any gourt food in the jungle for a week, was a bit stunned and put down a piece of beef.
"Xiao, Xiaofan... could it be because my coming to M Country wasn't part of your plan?"
Everyone knew that Xiaofan's plans were very ticulous, and not a single detail could be overlooked.
"No, why would you say that?" Xiaofan, however, continued peeling shrimp shells nonchalantly, habitually dipping them in so soy sauce and placing them into Shen Zuimo's bowl.
"They know so much about us, even going as far as using an assassination order to try to take all of us out, assassinating even soone like Li Kuo, who's not very strong. So now that I'm here in M Country, I'm sure they can find out soon. And using my bombs in the jungle competition, they might very well suspect your existence, right?"
Han Shengjun's thoughts were gradually changing. Despite appearing simple and honest, he was actually a very ticulous person.
However, he, like Shen Zuimo, completely didn't understand Xiaofan's real intentions.
No wonder Han Shengjun felt a bit guilty. If it had been Li San who ca instead, there wouldn't have been a need to expose his bomb design, and the enemy wouldn't have guessed Xiaofan's identity.
"You're overthinking." Xiaofan shook his head and smiled.
Shen Zuimo glanced at Xiaofan knowingly, aware that he must have had everything under control, and that everyone was just unnecessarily worried.
However, Han Shengjun kept looking at Xiaofan, waiting for Xiaofan to continue speaking.
"Back in the day, everyone thought I was a dead man. So they couldn't be a hundred percent sure I was still alive, but even if they suspected, so what? If they found out I'm still alive, what could they do? Isn't the na Ye Xiaofan enough to make them panic?"
This line was full of confidence.
However, Xiaofan's bragging wasn't unfounded. The na Ye Xiaofan may not have been as legendary as Ren Zhongtian back then, feared across the world, but surely it was enough to intimidate the entire Japan, right?
"I actually think they're impressive for coming up with such a way to revive the assassination order. If we didn't sabotage it in ti, I'm sure in three to five years, it would once again rampage around the world as it did before. Now, I'm not worried about them knowing that I'm still alive; I'm more afraid that they don't know I'm still alive. When the assassination order's system was complete, I didn't fear it; would I fear a half-crippled one now?"
Nowadays, Xiaofan wasn't the sa Ye Xiaofan being chased by the assassination order around the world. No matter how strong the assassination order was, it was all supported by manpower. He was human too, and since when did he fear just because they had more people?
The principle is simple... Back then, the terror of the assassination order forced Ye Xiaofan out of his normal living environnt and made him leave the woman he loved, fighting life and death with the Red Butterfly.
Those tough days were always etched deeply in Xiaofan's heart.
Now, I, Ye Xiaofan, have returned, alive. If the assassination order dares to act recklessly again, I'll use the na Ye Xiaofan to suppress you.
If the na Ye Xiaofan hasn't yet been rembered by the world, then from now on, I will ensure everyone rembers. Making the na Ye Xiaofan even more powerful.
So, what will he do next?
Is it just because of the 170 Life Cards they hold among the four of them?
"Hey, have you guys thought of your codenas?"
Suddenly, Xiaofan asked the other three a question.
The other three looked at Xiaofan with puzzled expressions.
"Codena? What's that?" Han Shengjun was the first to ask.
"We four took the top four spots in the competition this ti, so we'll surely be on the new assassin rankings. In the future, when doing missions, all assassins will rank according to this new list. Although so veteran assassins might not care about these, ultimately, it's a competition globally recognized. Don't you want to choose a more catchy codena?" Xiaofan explained calmly.
"Codena? Our identities and nas all belong to soone else, even our appearances. Shouldn't the codena be..." Han Shengjun continued to ask.
"No, everything starts anew. When we joined the competition, we used number tags for registration. After the competition concluded, they asked for our bank accounts and phone numbers. Once results co out, they'll surely notify us by phone. This ans for the new assassin rankings, we can use new codenas." Xiaofan continued to explain.
"I see, ah, I don't even know what would be good..."
Thinking of a codena really troubled Han.
"Wait a minute..." Han Shengjun suddenly ca up with a new question.
"What's up now? You're so jumpy."
"Xiaofan, are you saying our rankings will be acknowledged by these assassin organizations? They'll pay us the prize money?"
"Of course, since this is a globally watched competition. Also, with so many deaths, they can't fake the ranking results. Even if they know we were there to disrupt them, so what? The prize money still has to be credited to our accounts truthfully. If they can't even maintain this bit of integrity, how would these assassin organizations survive in the future? How would they persuade their subordinates? Furthermore, the competition was initially set up for the prize money and that so-called assassin's license. They made it such a big deal, they have no choice but to pay up."
"Ah-ha... Ah-hahaha. These bastards, losing the wife and the soldiers, haven't they?" Han Shengjun laughed heartily after understanding.
"They suffered a silent loss this ti, unable to voice their grievances. If they intend to reorganize the assassination order, they'd have to dispatch their own assassins. But surely their interests aren't just limited to the assassination order. Those assassins would be distributed around different areas, like the Red Butterfly in the past, having one headquarters, four branches, and dozens of divisions. If they bring the assassins back, their initial interest activities would have to halt, resulting in massive financial losses."
With Xiaofan's explanation, Han Shengjun finally understood completely.
Shen Zuimo also nodded slightly. This guy always executed his plans so comprehensively. Deep down, he had already believed in him, so he always acted as instructed. Only after completing them that he would question anything that seed amiss, but it turned out to be unnecessary.
"So, what title do you intend to use?" Han Shengjun still hadn't figured out a result for his own codena.
"? Black Mantis. Wouldn't I have a second codena?" Xiaofan smiled lightly. Using the codena Black Mantis, he clearly wasn't worried about others knowing he was still alive.
