Black hair, yellow skin. A sunny and robust look.
Although I knew Black Mantis was young, I hadn't expected him to be this young. It seems the information I got before wasn't wrong at all; this Black Mantis is indeed from Huaxia, and he's the very one that once led Yanhuang Soul to destroy the world's largest assassin organization, Red Butterfly.
Carefully calculating, was he even twenty that year?
At this mont, Xiaofan took off his mask. It's not to announce his real identity to the world. On the contrary, the people from Cross Society have never seen his real face, so if he showed up with that assassin's appearance again, it would surely ruin everything.
The current ti is around ten-thirty at night, and the people from Cross Society are here to find the Wolf King. What business could they have?
"Wolf King, they have arrived." From outside, Black Wolf's voice ca.
"Hmm, co in." Since Black Mantis revealed his true face in front of him, it almost certainly indicates that he has no current hostility. Besides, the Wolf King is increasingly intrigued by him; years ago, he had so dealings with Ren Zhongtian, who was already a mysterious figure—what kind of role could his successor be?
"Wolf King... hmm?" Black Wolf pushed the door open and frowned slightly upon seeing Xiaofan beside the Wolf King, his expression full of confusion.
"You can go now."
"But..."
The mbers of Cross Society ca; Black Wolf originally thought of staying to protect the Wolf King's safety. Yet now, there's an unfamiliar yellow-skinned man standing beside the Wolf King. Could this be related to the strange noise heard earlier?
How could Black Wolf feel at ease when asked to leave now?
"Ask soone to bring up two cups of coffee for the guests."
"Yes."
The Wolf King spoke again, so Black Wolf had no choice but to obey, turning to leave and closing the door.
Inside the room, now there are two additional guests. Their deanor... how to put it, exudes an air of arrogance. Although it's nearly a common trait among assassins, the two present carry an arrogance that seems to disregard the Wolf King entirely.
"Wolf King."
"What's the matter?"
Not even offering them a seat, this way of treating guests is indeed sowhat rude.
Of course, it applies only if they're considered guests.
"We're here to inform you that our leader would like you to co to our base tomorrow to discuss so details regarding the transfer of Lone Wolf."
"Tomorrow? Isn't that too rushed?" The Wolf King's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"It's not really us being hasty; after all, the situation isn't the sa as before." The man from Cross Society smirked wickedly: "Don't you hope your little she-wolf gets ho quickly?"
"..." Silence. The Wolf King's gaze turned chilly.
Xiaofan had long since noticed that their courage to act superior in front of the Wolf King wasn't due to their strength; with what they had, they couldn't defeat even Black Wolf or White Wolf
"To go to Cross Society, isn't a phone call sufficient? Coming all the way here? Is there anything else?" asked the Wolf King in a cold tone.
"Oh, here are so detailed points listed by our leader. Please take a look and get psychologically prepared in advance."
Getting psychologically prepared, aning there's no room for negotiation; the Wolf King must comply with what's outlined here. And by looking at the Wolf King's expression, he seems unable to outright refuse.
"Leave the docunts and you may go now."
"What? You..."
The guests obviously didn't expect such a quick dismissal from the Wolf King; at least, asking so other questions was expected.
Moreover, wasn't coffee ntioned earlier? Not even offering a cup of water?
"Then, please ensure your presence tomorrow. We'll take our leave."
During the conversation, they completely ignored Xiaofan's presence. In their eyes, with the Wolf King seated and Xiaofan standing, Xiaofan was naturally assud to be just an average guard.
As Black Wolf prepared the coffee, the mbers of Cross Assassination Society walked out looking visibly displeased.
"Not offered water, nor escorted out. This Wolf King really doesn't know how to be courteous."
"With Lone Wolf's history, do you think the Wolf King is weak? If not for our leader's brilliance and capturing Wolf King's weakness, would he yield so easily? Given the situation now, battling Lone Wolf would be unwise. But now Wolf King has compromised, and the entire strength of M Country's organization is controlled by us under Cross Society. Then, what Wolf King—it's all nonsense."
The two of them discussed as they descended the stairs.
Indeed, the scene in M Country is as they described. Originally with Thunder Fla here, even though Cross Society was the most powerful, it couldn't dominate the entire M Country. Plus, with Lone Wolf occupying substantial territory, claiming domination over M Country was beyond them for at least five years.
But now an opportunity has arisen. Thunder Fla's top brass has perished, and coupled with intense attacks on Lone Wolf during this period, the dream of dominion over M Country seed within reach.
"Wolf King, what are they here for?"
"Nothing much, just asking to visit Cross Society tomorrow."
"What? Going to Cross Society?" Black Sugar was visibly shocked upon hearing this.
"Why are you so agitated?" the Wolf King asked calmly.
"Wolf King, Cross Society is their stronghold. If they intend harm against you, then..."
"Would you so easily let Cross Society get away with it?" the Wolf King suddenly inquired.
"Of course not; we would fight them to the bitter end, a fight to the death," Black Wolf assuredly thumped his chest.
"Then that's fine, as of now they wouldn't dare attack ; they're just impatient to dominate M Country quickly. Coffee, bring it over." The Wolf King explained, then turned to Xiaofan: "Lanshan's brew, want to try it?"
"This stuff's bitter, what's so great about it?" Xiaofan didn't hold back, casually picked up a cup and took a few small sips: "Oh, quite aromatic."
"Wolf, Wolf King, who is this?"
"Oh, he's Black Mantis..."
"Black Mantis?" As soon as these words were spoken, Black Wolf suddenly looked at Xiaofan with vigilance, his body slightly hunching, ready to act at any mont.
The Killing Qi erupted around him, locked onto Xiaofan; should he make any sudden move, Black Wolf would rush to ensure the Wolf King's safety first.
