To the Wolf King, nothing is more important than his granddaughter.
After so many years of struggle, all he ever wanted was a stable ho. However, both the only son and daughter-in-law of the Wolf King perished in battle, leaving him with just one descendant.
If he even lost Aili in the end, then he would completely lose the motivation to continue living.
From the Wolf King's tone, Xiaofan could see the old man's love for his descendants.
"However, I cannot risk my granddaughter's life with you; I cannot afford to lose. Even if you're incredibly skilled, rescuing Aili from nurous experts would be very challenging. Killing is easy; rescuing is hard."
"There's no absolute in anything. To save soone, risks must be taken. But if we don't rescue her, I'm afraid the chances for Aili will beco very grim." Xiaofan said softly.
"Hmm?" The Wolf King's expression changed as he looked sullenly at Xiaofan, waiting for what he would say next.
"It's simple. What the Cross Society wants is control of Lone Wolf. Although Lone Wolf may not be the strongest right now, it's the most disciplined. In such a well-organized group, there must be a respected leader. Even if they gain control today, should that leader return and rally support, do you think the Cross Society will tolerate such a huge potential threat? Hence, you'll die, and as the future heir of Lone Wolf, Aili certainly won't survive either."
Thunk, the light in the Wolf King's eyes slowly dimd. He had to admit, this young man's ability to assess the situation was truly remarkable.
He originally intended to kill him, but rely overhearing the conversation changed his mind under such circumstances, and he was even able to deduce future events. It's unimaginable what else he couldn't see through.
"Then... what are the chances of successfully saving Aili? If it's less than seventy percent, I'll decline."
The Wolf King wasn't foolish, and he had already thought about what Xiaofan ntioned. He wouldn't agree to the Cross Society's terms unless he was at the end of his tether.
When the ti cos and the Cross Society is pursuing him, the Wolf King has already prepared for it. Even if he dies, saving Aili is worth it.
"Above ninety percent confidence." Xiaofan stated firmly.
"What? Wolf King? This guy might be bluffing, boasting, don't trust him easily." Hearing such a high probability, White Wolf imdiately beca suspicious.
"Why do you expect us to believe you have such high confidence?" Black Wolf asked on the side.
"Relying on the strength of us four..." Xiaofan said loudly, the corners of his mouth once again forming a grave smile.
"Us?" Black Wolf frowned.
Four people? Does that include the three of them here? This guy's words are increasingly unreliable, aren't they?
"Wolf King, this kid probably has so conspiracy in mind, we should capture him first and interrogate him properly." White Wolf imdiately requested permission from the Wolf King.
But the Wolf King imdiately reached out to stop White Wolf's impulsive move, quietly observing Xiaofan, pondering sothing unknown.
"No, we, not and you, but... us." Xiaofan emphasized the two words again. The confidence on his face was unwavering.
"Hmm?" The Wolf King's expression changed again, looking sowhat incredulously towards the balcony.
"Wolf King, what's going on?" Black Wolf noticed sothing amiss and asked.
"They're here, let them in." At that mont, after saying this, Xiaofan finished the remaining coffee in one gulp.
The Wolf King, Black Wolf, and White Wolf all looked towards the balcony with astonished eyes.
In, they've co in.
One, two, three...
These three were none other than Han Shengjun, Shen Zuimo, and Leng Yue, who had been waiting outside for Xiaofan to co out.
Just monts earlier, when Xiaofan changed his mind, he told the three over the intercom to converge at his location as there was a matter to discuss.
At that ti, Xiaofan had already decided to cooperate with Lone Wolf. He believed the path he infiltrated could be located by them, so following his route was no problem given their capabilities.
So, they arrived silently into the most crucial area of Lone Wolf from outside.
Black Wolf and White Wolf were stunned. Initially, the fact that a Black Mantis could co in alone was incredible. But now, these three could also do it; that's completely unscientific, right?
Of course, not everyone could do it. Even those more capable than Han couldn't achieve it because they didn't learn Xiaofan's technique of hiding Killing Qi. Concealing oneself in darkness is a technique unique to Xiaofan. Without understanding, it's impossible to learn.
People like Lin Hongbin, who followed Xiaofan's teachings, had not learned long enough to grasp it on their own. Unless, they receive hands-on guidance.
Back when in Yanhuang Soul, Li San and others thought they could fight against the assassins but were shrouded by the assassins' Killing Qi because the Killing Qi of those assassins was deadly and triggered killing intent. If they could hide their Killing Qi, those assassins wouldn't be able to target them.
It was indeed thanks to Shen Zuimo's help at the ti that the move was successfully completed, because she, as an assassin, understood the timing very well.
But Xiaofan still didn't understand how he was discovered by the Wolf King? Was it really due to the wolf's sense of sll? Wouldn't it be so mysterious?
"You, you..." Looking at Xiaofan and the others, White Wolf's face once again showed a wary look.
"I said before, I can enter Thunder Fla, I can enter Lone Wolf, and I can certainly infiltrate the Cross Society. I won't deny the Cross Society has many formidable foes, but it's not out of fear, just laziness on my part not wanting to expend so much effort dealing with them." Xiaofan leisurely explained.
"Then why are you willing now?" Black Wolf asked again.
"It's simple, because I feel the benefits gained are worth going to the Cross Society and dealing with them." Xiaofan didn't hold back, knowing that in cooperation, both sides operated for their own interests: "So, Wolf King, what's your decision?"
The final decision remained in the hands of the Wolf King.
"If I refuse, will you still follow through with the initial plan to kill ? To make your Counterassassination Order famous worldwide?"
'Whoosh.'
'Whoosh.'
With those words spoken, Black Wolf and White Wolf imdiately stood in front of the Wolf King, staring intensely at Xiaofan and the others, fingers twitching, ready to call for reinforcents because any one of the four before them posed imnse pressure.
