Strongest Soldier King Chapter 623 623: Ghost Hand's Strategy

In their room, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue sat in silence together. The continued assassination attempts left them both simring with anger they could not vent, especially after the bomb attack which had enraged Luo Zheng. But without any clues, they could only watch and wait for developnts. Luo Zheng took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down as he murmured in confusion, "It's very strange. If those assassins are from the Reincarnation Organization, there must be quite a few of them. Along with those suspicious figures, they have enough people to launch a direct attack. There's no need for the assassination approach. Could it be that they are not related?"

"If they really are not on the sa side, the situation becos even more complicated. Reincarnation is coming after us, and if those suspicious people have no connection with Reincarnation, then they are targeting soone else on the cruise ship. We only need to deal with Reincarnation. After the recent assassination attempt, those people must have caught wind of sothing and might make a move. Also, I didn't expect this ship to belong to Song Yan. If Song Yan is ignoring those people, there must be sothing fishy going on," Lan Xue whispered, pulling two guns out of her bag. She handed one to Luo Zheng and checked the other one herself.

Luo Zheng took the gun and checked it thoroughly. Once sure it was in good condition, he tucked it away close to his body. He thought for a mont and said, "If those people are connected to Song Yan, they'd probably be the least happy about the Reincarnation Killers causing havoc on the cruise ship. For one thing, it would affect the mood of the tourists and create panic. Secondly, it would interfere with their own activities. What do you think?"

"That's entirely possible. What are you suggesting?" Lan Xue asked, startled. She looked at Luo Zheng, who nodded slightly. Understanding, she smiled and continued, "Well then, let's continue exposing ourselves, drawing out assassination attempts. Better if it causes a big commotion. The bar assassination was unknown to the outside, and Song Yan fears a panic, so we'll create panic. According to the rules of battle, the more the enemy worries, the more advantage we have."

"Okay," Luo Zheng agreed without hesitation, gesturing for Lan Xue to call Ghost Hand and the others, and then they would head to the casino. The casino was densely packed with people and had complex dynamics. If sothing went wrong there, it would be impossible to cover up, and once panic ensued, Song Yan could no longer hide in the shadows. If Song Yan had any ulterior plans, they too would be impacted.

Lan Xue made another call to Ghost Hand and the other two, instructing them to blend into the casino crowd first. After hanging up, the pair chatted for a bit before heading arm in arm toward the casino, appearing to be a sweet and happy couple as they took the hallway to the casino entrance on the first floor.

Inside the casino, all types of gambling equipnt were available, and n and won gathered around. So cheered while others lanted. The tables were covered with various chips as croupiers skillfully managed the gas. The two of them surveyed the area cautiously, noting that everyone in the casino was focused on the tables, paying no mind to the new arrivals.

A few steps forward, Luo Zheng suddenly felt that sothing was amiss and pulled Lan Xue aside to an empty sofa to sit down, whispering, "Did you notice? Those suspicious figures are nowhere to be seen. Where could they have gone?"

"Hiss?" Lan Xue also sensed sothing was off and spoke in a low voice with a heavy countenance, "Let's look around."

The two of them circled the casino discreetly, still unable to spot any of the previously identified suspicious figures. It was bizarre—so many people couldn't just vanish en masse. Moreover, this emphasized a point: those people were together. As for why they disappeared, only they knew.

"Let's check other floors," Lan Xue murmured, eyes darting through the crowd, continually identifying suspicious individuals. Suspicious figures in a casino were easy to spot, as those who co in would be engrossed in gambling. Anyone not focused on gambling must have other intentions, and it was easy to tell at a glance.

Regrettably, everyone around them was busy gambling, with no one noticing their arrival. Luo Zheng signaled for Lan Xue to join him as they left the casino and systematically observed the other floors. Finally, they reached the top floor without seeing any suspicious figures, leaving them baffled. They looked at each other curiously, wondering what was going on.

"We've only not checked the rooms. Could they all be hiding in their rooms sleeping?" Lan Xue asked quietly.

"It's unlikely. They are humans too; they need to co out for air and such. Besides, why would every single one of them be hiding in their rooms to rest? Could it be that they really plan to make a move tonight?"

At this thought, Luo Zheng shivered. It should be easy to spot so many people on a confined cruise ship, yet they had suddenly disappeared, defying logic. The two found a place to sit down, and before long, Ghost Hand arrived, accompanied by a foreign beauty—blonde and blue-eyed—they looked like a couple and matched well.

Seeing this scene, Lan Xue chuckled and gave a silent thumbs-up. Ghost Hand understood and smiled back. He approached with the foreign woman, introducing himself in a polite tone, "Hello, my na is Peter. It's a pleasure to et you. This is my girlfriend Emma. We are planning to go for a swim. Would you like to join us?"

"No, go ahead. We're looking for our companions. They were just here, but now we don't know where they have gone off to," Luo Zheng replied sharply, detecting sothing odd about Ghost Hand and pretending not to recognize him.

Understanding Luo Zheng's hint, Ghost Hand laughed and said, "The ship is only so big; maybe they gambled all night and went to sleep?" His chuckle was filled with aning.

"Never mind, we'll go rest too. You guys go ahead," Luo Zheng said, smiling knowingly.

Their conversation had been in a widely used international language the entire ti. After Ghost Hand and the blond left, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue also departed, heading to the dining room to eat. To avoid being poisoned, they chose food and drinks that others had touched, believing that if everyone else was alright, it should be safe.

They had just started eating when they heard a commotion outside. The two exchanged glances, neither moving but discreetly drawing their weapons, ready for action. Soon, a group of people passed by the dining room entrance, seemingly with one person apprehended by several security guards. The two were startled, exchanged glances once more, and kept a close eye on what was happening outside the dining room.

Shortly after, Mountain Eagle ca in, grabbed so food, and sat back-to-back with Luo Zheng. While eating, he whispered, "The woman with Ghost Hand is an assassin. She led you on purpose to ntion going to rest, misguiding the assassin. The assassin had a listening device on them, and their accomplices tried to attack our rooms. I reported it, and we caught two, killed one, and two security guards died, with three more wounded. These security aren't simple in skill."

"Ah?" Luo Zheng hadn't expected that so much could happen while they were dining. Ghost Hand, as cunning as a ghost, had inadvertently set up such a trap. Luo Zheng quickly murmured, "Tell Ghost Hand to interrogate that woman secretly. Let's see how many of her companions are left on the ship."

"It's already happening. Snow Leopard's covering him. I was sent to report to you," Mountain Eagle said softly, before continuing with his al.
