"Alright, stop arguing. Just follow the original plan. He's probably afraid of the Cross Society; otherwise, he wouldn't have settled for targeting the Lone Wolf. Now that his operation has failed, he won't dare to show himself again anyti soon. Everyone, disperse. Rember to be on ti tomorrow when the Wolf King cos to hand over the territory."
Koff also felt that Cody made a lot of sense.
The Black Mantis can't even handle the Lone Wolf, let alone the far stronger Cross Society. Besides, with so many top-ranked assassins under his command, why should he be afraid of a small Black Mantis?
Perhaps Koff would soon regret his decision, or maybe he wouldn't even have the chance to regret it.
anwhile, after leaving the Lone Wolf, Xiaofan and the others returned to the hotel.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly change your mind and even reveal your true identity?" Han Shengjun asked aloud.
"Collaborating with the Ren Family requires showing so sincerity," Xiaofan replied boldly.
"But your original plan wasn't to infiltrate the Lone Wolf and kill its leader to establish our reputation among the Assassination Order and the various assassin organizations involved in it. Why the sudden change to collaboration?" Leng Yue also asked.
"Because I realized that collaborating with the Lone Wolf would bring more and greater benefits to the Counterassassination Order."
"I don't understand," Han Shengjun scratched his head, looking puzzled at Xiaofan.
"It's not hard to guess. Our purpose in establishing the Counterassassination Order was to intimidate the Assassination Order and those assassin organizations, to prevent them from becoming too rampant. However, while we can't stop their actions, having a partner in M Country who can offer full support makes a big difference," Xiaofan slowly explained.
"Although the people in the Lone Wolf are well-trained, their overall strength is still no match for the Cross Society. When the ti cos, the Lone Wolf won't even be able to protect itself, so how can it fully help us?" Shen Zuimo finally spoke.
"That's only temporary..." Xiaofan grinned.
"Are you planning sothing else for the Cross Society?" Seeing Xiaofan's expression, Shen Zuimo suddenly had a thought.
"Haha..." Xiaofan didn't answer, just smiled, which was as good as admitting it.
"You've actually set up such a big sche..." Shen Zuimo realized it with a stunned expression, but after the surprise, he shook his head slightly, his lips curving into a faint smile, as if laughing softly.
"What, what? What sche?" Han Shengjun didn't understand and hurriedly asked.
"Alright, I'll start from the beginning. Initially, I infiltrated the Lone Wolf aiming for the Wolf King's life, but I accidentally overheard their conflict with the Cross Society. At that mont, I thought about whether I could use this to deal with the Lone Wolf. It felt like a waste to only use them for intimidation, so I proposed collaboration," Xiaofan explained slowly.
"Then you plan to support the Lone Wolf from behind, letting them confront the Cross Society?" Leng Yue seed not entirely clear.
"Otherwise, his plan... goes far beyond that," Shen Zuimo said, not seeming too serious, as if he found Xiaofan's sche quite interesting.
"Ah~! Actually, the Wolf King is most worried about his granddaughter Aili. If we can successfully rescue Aili, the Wolf King will have no concerns. Our quest to establish our reputation needs to continue. Since we want to collaborate with the Wolf King, our target must shift to the Cross Society," Xiaofan continued.
"Wow, you still want to take on the Cross Society," Han Shengjun laughed. It seed like stronger opponents were what interested him. If they had really made a move against the Lone Wolf earlier, it would just an completing the task step by step and then leaving, without any opportunity to shine.
"My goal is to rescue the Wolf King's granddaughter, successfully achieve cooperation with the Lone Wolf, then take down the Cross Society's leader, causing their disruption. Then by eliminating a few key targets, the Cross Society will have no one to lead it. At that ti, without needing to do anything further, the Lone Wolf surely wouldn't miss such an excellent opportunity to rise, and they'd take over the Cross Society. By then, having successfully eliminated the Cross Society leader, firstly, we establish our reputation. Secondly, the Lone Wolf becos the ruler of all Huaxia, collaborating with us, enhancing the operation of the Counterassassination Order. The largest assassin organization in M Country becos our partner, and doesn't that bring greater benefits than just killing the Wolf King?"
"Remarkable." Leng Yue, upon understanding, could only use these two words to describe it.
"Wow, we actually created a king? Just thinking about it feels thrilling," Han Shengjun also began fantasizing about the outco after their success.
But Shen Zuimo just looked at Xiaofan with taste, smiling without giving any opinion.
"Why are you smiling at ?"
"You haven't finished speaking..."
"Finished talking, what else is there?" Xiaofan was genuinely puzzled.
"If your plan succeeds, the Lone Wolf becos the ruler of M Country, or even the whole West, then what about you? By that ti, wouldn't you be the strongest ruler?"
As soon as Shen Zuimo said this, both Han Shengjun and Leng Yue looked at Xiaofan together.
Xiaofan just slightly smiled and said, "It's not that complicated."
"You're the renowned Ye Xiaofan in East Asia; you defeated the Red Butterfly, and Japan doesn't dare provoke you anymore. If the plan truly succeeds, the Assassination Order will indeed fall. Eastern and Western sides will both see you as the strongest. Although you've been removed from the Yanhuang Soul, Elder Fan has always supported you without wavering. So, you are the ultimate ruler," Shen Zuimo explained, and everyone felt at ease, realizing it made sense. Without even noticing, Xiaofan's achievents had grown so enormous.
So things require not only the courage to think but also the courage to act.
Lingze did so, striving towards the path of kingship, aiming to beco the king of global assassin organizations through the Assassination Order.
And Xiaofan also did so. Although not aspiring to the path of kingship, he knew to protect himself, his friends, and his loved ones, he must achieve this, even if it ant becoming a king.
"I don't like being a ruler; it's exhausting," Xiaofan said softly, looking at Shen Zuimo.
"I know. I know what you want to do."
Yes, she knew. In fact, Xiaofan had one more thing to say: I don't like being a ruler; I just want to be happy with you, together forever, never to part.
