"Do you have sugar? Add so for . I like it sweet."
Facing Black Wolf, who was emanating a killing aura, Xiaofan remained completely unfazed, placing the half cup of coffee on the table.
"Sugar?" Black Wolf blinked his eyes.
"Ah, there's still half a cup. Although it slls good, I really can't stand the bitterness. If I throw it away, wouldn't that be such a waste?" Xiaofan continued.
"Hahahaha..." Wolf King suddenly burst into laughter.
Actually, this coffee was originally ant for Xiaofan, not for the people of Cross Society; everyone simply misunderstood at first.
"Black Wolf, have soone bring up the sugar."
"Wolf King, he..."
"He's not the enemy for now."
"Oh."
Even with Wolf King speaking, Black Wolf remained uneasy and could only use the intercom to call for the servant downstairs to bring up the sugar.
However, the person who delivered it this ti was White Wolf.
Because everyone knew that without Wolf King's orders, no one could easily enter his room, not even the most familiar person.
This was a rule, almost like discipline.
And White Wolf sensed the killing aura from his brother downstairs, and with the coffee as a signal, took advantage of the opportunity to bring sugar into the room.
When White Wolf ca up with the sugar, his expression was the sa as Black Wolf's earlier. Knowing Xiaofan was Black Mantis, although puzzled, neither Wolf King nor Black Wolf reacted overly. So, he stayed to see what would happen.
Still, Wolf King hadn't told them to leave.
"Young man, if you have sothing to discuss, go ahead. They're both trustworthy people, speak freely."
Watching Xiaofan slowly add sugar to the coffee, Wolf King guessed Xiaofan's concerns, thus explained.
"Lone Wolf's situation now is not looking good." Stirring the coffee, Xiaofan took a small sip.
"Indeed." Wolf King had no intention of hiding anything.
"I want to invest in Lone Wolf..."
"What?"
At these words, Wolf King imdiately expressed his surprise.
Black Wolf and White Wolf exchanged glances, baffled by what was happening.
"What do you an?"
"Lone Wolf is at a dead end now. Without more funds, it's sure to collapse."
"Young man, you don't seem to understand the current situation. Even more money might..." Wolf King sighed inwardly; it seed Lone Wolf had no chance to stand up again to him.
"Oh, yes, and your granddaughter Aili, who was kidnapped by Cross Society..."
"How do you know that?"
"Actually, the problem Lone Wolf faces isn't that hard to solve..." Xiaofan didn't imdiately answer Wolf King's question, instead continued on his own: "First, due to early joint strife by Cross Society and Thunder Fla, investors pulled out from Lone Wolf, plunging it into crisis. That's why they tried to send the two to an assassin competition to see if they could find a way out. anwhile, your granddaughter Aili was kidnapped by Cross Society as leverage. Without funds, Lone Wolf struggles against Cross Society, especially with them holding your weak point. So, Cross Society intends to use this to swallow Lone Wolf, which is Lone Wolf's current situation."
Spot on, completely correct.
In fact, Xiaofan hadn't proactively learned this, not even Li Kuo could get such information from intel.
"Since you already know, why do you want to invest in Lone Wolf? What's your purpose?"
"I want to establish a Counter-assassination Order organization in M Country, and Lone Wolf seems the most suitable choice." Xiaofan frankly revealed.
"Counter-assassination Order? Isn't that too naive? Sure, you, Black Mantis, have so skills, Assassination Order couldn't do anything to you. But leaving aside Lone Wolf facing the entire Assassination Order, even Cross Society alone is beyond our resistance." Wolf King thought Xiaofan was daydreaming.
"Wolf King, if we resolve all of Lone Wolf's concerns, then, we can continue to discuss our cooperation, right?" Confidence was written all over Xiaofan's face.
Anyone familiar with Xiaofan knew that when he started showing interest, his lips would curl into a mischievous smile, and once that smile appeared, the opponent was guaranteed misfortune.
"Let's hear it." Although Wolf King maintained skepticism towards Xiaofan's words, if it held true, Lone Wolf might indeed rise again, perhaps even change completely.
Wolf King is highly capable at handling matters; he wouldn't make rash judgnts nor miss any opportunity. Moreover, the opportunity offered by this young man was extraordinarily tempting for Lone Wolf.
"Firstly, about the investnt, once I invest, it naturally resolves itself. But your biggest worry is your granddaughter; people aren't heartless. Even cold-blooded assassins consider family ties, or rather, they care about them more than anyone else. Resolving this ans successfully rescuing Aili."
"Okay, even if you achieve the two points you ntioned, what about Cross Society? Lone Wolf today is no match for Cross Society, let alone with their backing from the Assassination Order alliance."
"Then extinguish Cross Society, in M Country, won't Lone Wolf be the leader? With Assassination Order's current decline, they can't possibly have the ti or energy to deal with Lone Wolf. Even to regain strength would take one or two years, right? And in one or two years, won't Lone Wolf's independent developnt in M Country be able to withstand Assassination Order?" Xiaofan continued.
"Extinguish? Are you boasting? How can Cross Society be extinguished just like that?" Black Wolf also chid in, expressing doubt, and in a mocking tone.
"Then, about Thunder Fla? Isn't there nothing left now?" Xiaofan cast a glance over, then looked at Wolf King.
Speaking of Thunder Fla, Wolf King's eyes flickered again. He had the ability to dismantle Thunder Fla's higher-ups, perhaps he could also deal with Cross Society... How capable was this young man really?
"As you said, logically, it's entirely feasible. But this isn't just talk; rescuing Aili is inherently risky. Moreover, how can I believe you will successfully rescue Aili? Even if you do, how can I trust you can extinguish Cross Society?" White Wolf threw in his voice too.
"No, if you truly rescue Aili, we Lone Wolf will team up with you against Cross Society. As long as Aili is safe, we Lone Wolf dare to fight Cross Society head-on." At this mont, Wolf King solemnly addressed Xiaofan with these words.
