"If I told you that before you accepted the mutant serum, we extracted and froze your genetic material, would that be good news for you?"
Clunk...
For a mont, his heartbeat underwent a mutation.
Even though he has mutated, his heart is still made of flesh. This news filled him with a deep longing for the future.
"Re-really?" The dignified Sect Leader, the founder of the new Assassination Order, found his voice trembling upon hearing this news.
"Of course, this was actually Mr. Muto's intention. He didn't want his successor to have too many regrets. If it weren't for Mr. Muto's high expectations of you, do you think you could have co this far?"
Wanting to cry, at this mont, Lingze felt an urge to cry.
In his life, no one had ever genuinely cared for him like this; no one had ever considered his future in such detail.
Could it be, all for just a call of 'master'?
"A day as a master, a lifeti as a father. Rest assured, if Ye Xiaofan is truly still alive, I will personally kill him to avenge you, without a doubt..."
But wait, if my genetic material was frozen, then why wait until today, nine months later, to tell ? What's the catch?
Lingze was no fool; through his joy, he naturally thought of so critical points.
"Don't get too happy just yet. The reason we're telling you now is that this wasn't a free preservation for you but rather considered a reward. Actually, if you could have executed the Assassination Order, we promise to bring your biological son to you a year from now, maybe even more than one. But you failed, so we might have to delay this reward." Miyamoto continued.
So, it's as expected...
"What do I have to do to earn such a reward?"
He wanted it, very much, desperately wanted a child of his own. That was his future, the future of founding a family.
"That depends on your effort. Firstly, these five old gentlen have been brought before you, and the expectations from above are high. Even the Pri Minister speaks highly of you, hoping you won't let them down in the future. Well, ti's almost up, I should head back."
"Wait, those things have been frozen for a long ti, will they still be viable..."
"What? Are you worried about our dical equipnt in Japan? Rest assured, as long as you perform as expected, you won't have to wait long. Goodbye."
After speaking, Miyamoto turned, bowed to the five elders as a farewell, and left the base with two attendants.
No matter how you look at it, this gave him a great hope. In that mont, Lingze felt an energy filling his body, the brightness of the future awaiting his arrival.
Originally, he thought he would only live in revenge and darkness, but unexpectedly… he still had the chance to be a 'father'.
"Ling Yi, take the five seniors to their rooms. Seniors, please forgive the simplicity of our accommodations."
"Hmm." The five had no objections to staying, seemingly prepared for this.
Watching them settle into the base, Lingze quickly ran back to his room. He needed to ticulously plan his life now that he had the chance for a child. But first, he had to achieve sothing for those above him.
"Sect Leader, are they threatening you?" Uncle Zhong followed Lingze into the room, inquiring.
"A mix of carrot and stick, but I don't care about that," Lingze replied, in high spirits, a smile playing on his lips as he spoke. "Uncle Zhong, is the alert to M Country's defenses sent?"
"Yes, it's been sent."
"Good. By the way, prepare a car, I need to go out."
"Where is Sect Leader headed?" Uncle Zhong casually asked, then quickly apologized, "Oh, sorry, I overstepped."
Originally, no one dared to question Lingze's whereabouts, but Uncle Zhong asked due to seeing Lingze happy and imdiately apologized upon realizing his mistake.
"Oh, it's fine. I'm going to Bai Xue's place to ask for help once more. After all, too much money was invested this ti. Oh dear, the woman who almost beca my wife, she'll probably hate this ti. Hahahaha," Lingze laughed more happily.
Indeed, the news was tantamount to giving him a chance for rebirth, a true rebirth.
Previously, Lingze had Uncle Zhong alert M Country's assassin organization for precaution. That was because he was contemplating strategies if Ye Xiaofan were still alive.
If he were to make a na for himself after disrupting the competition, he would surely choose to assert dominance.
And wanting to assert dominance would most likely an targeting an organization in M Country, with Thunder Fla being the pri example.
"Assert dominance? How do you plan to do that?"
In M Country, Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo were discussing their next move.
Everyone was bewildered by Xiaofan's ntion of asserting dominance.
"It's simple. Right now, with Black Mantis and the Counterassassination Order gaining prominence, if we make a move now, these assassin organizations might just behave like little kittens." Xiaofan said calmly.
"But last ti, you tackled Thunder Fla alone. This ti, they'll be ready for you," Leng Yue worried.
"Then I can choose a smaller assassin organization. There's no need to make a big fuss. Thunder Fla only lost so top mbers; its scale hasn't collapsed. But without the upper echelon's support, recovery will be tough. What's left is the mightiest Cross Society."
"You an, the Ray Green ranked seventh in the competition you killed?" Han Shengjun added.
"Yeah, there's also ranks eleven, thirteen, and fourteen, all belonging to the Red Cross, whose experts outnumber those sent to the assassin competition." Apparently, Xiaofan had learned quite a bit about the Cross Assassination Society.
"Didn't you say you were targeting a smaller organization? So why are you checking on the Cross Assassination Society?" Shen Zuimo slowly threw out this question.
This statent left Xiaofan montarily speechless.
In fact, his initial target was the Cross Assassination Society. Striking them would yield an impressive display of power.
But there was no way around it; the society's defenses were tighter than Thunder Fla's, not to ntion their countless experts. Attempting to solo them risked imdiate danger upon failure, especially since they're surely on guard now.
"Just getting more information."
"Ye Xiaofan, keep your head safe, don't sneak around doing sothing rash," Shen Zuimo shot Xiaofan a side glance.
"Gulp." Xiaofan instinctively swallowed. Shen Zuimo's temper, though slightly intimidating to Xiaofan, undeniably made her even more irresistibly captivating.
"Relax, I've already settled on a target, an organization with a bit of reputation in M Country: Lone Wolf.
