"Yes, then I will contact them again." Poisonous Concubine nodded and replied. Everything was just as Zheng Ji had predicted. The opposing factions within the family were secretly active, clearly intending to strike hard. However, Zheng Ji had anticipated this, and fortunately, the Ji Family’s desperate guards protected Zheng Ji and ensured his safe departure.
The operation did not succeed, so naturally Boss Xing would be punished. Therefore, no matter what, he had to offset his faults with achievents. Even if he hated it, cooperation must continue. However, this ti, Boss Xing was truly miserably exploited.
At this mont, Boss Xing’s phone buzzed; it was an email.
"Damn it." Boss Xing smashed the phone heavily onto the table. Although he was wearing a mask, his anger was still palpable.
"Master, what happened?"
"Just received an order requiring us to cooperate with the ’Shadow Organization’." Boss Xing spoke through gritted teeth, his eyes full of resentnt.
"What, the ’Shadow Organization’ is also getting involved?"
"Perhaps the Lord felt the pressure. Ghost was investigating in the East Sea and got bombed into amnesia. Zheng Family’s incident also diverted attention. But now matters are concluding; their focus will shift back to the Mothman’s experint center. Especially if Ghost regains his mory, he will investigate. This ans our three months of effort will be wasted, and the Lord’s plan will utterly fail." Boss Xing’s tone was sowhat nervous; those capable of great achievents consider failure first, planning for the worst before executing.
"Lord’s intention is..."
"We absolutely cannot let Ghost reveal the matter, which is also the next step for the ’Shadow Organization’. This ti, let’s cooperate with their action first. Without another successful operation, none of us can bear the Lord’s punishnt."
Thump, thump, thump.
Suddenly, a knock on the door of the rented room tightened the nerves of the two individuals. Poisonous Concubine’s hand imdiately reached for the gun at her waist.
"Don’t be agitated, just go open the door first." Boss Xing shook his head, signaling Poisonous Concubine to open the door. This area was full of low-inco housing, and the security was relatively poor, but ordinarily, no one should co by.
"Who are you..." Poisonous Concubine opened the door and found a woman in black standing there, dressed in a black trench coat. She didn’t hide her face but slightly lowered her head, her oversized hood obscuring her features.
The woman in black didn’t speak but handed over a token.
"Shadow Organization, Lord Xue." Poisonous Concubine saw the emblem on the token and her expression changed slightly. Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. re minutes before, they were discussing the ’Shadow Organization,’ and now soone from it appeared.
"Boss Xing is inside, bring to him." Poisonous Concubine’s "Lord Xue" lifted her head slightly, finally revealing her "true face" — a delicate and fair visage, a typical oval face, her eyes emitted a faint blue glow. If she entered showbiz, she could be a famous actress.
"Please co in." Poisonous Concubine led her inside, and Boss Xing quickly stood up from his chair upon seeing the guest.
"I didn’t expect Lord Xue’s visit; my apologies for not welcoming you sooner."
"I dislike pretentious courtesies; let’s get to the point." The woman found a chair and sat down, exuding an aura of coldness.
"You’ve received the ssage, right?" she said coldly.
"Yes, received directly as the Lord’s command. I will absolutely cooperate with the ’Shadow Organization’ to complete the task, rest assured, Lord Xue." Boss Xing’s affirmative tone had a hint of flattery, yet the woman called ’Lord Xue’ showed no joy, instead letting out a cold snort.
"Good, the ’Shadow Organization’ operates swiftly and efficiently; I don’t wish for your delays to hinder the operation." Lord Xue’s words didn’t offer Boss Xing any face, directly ridiculing him.
"You... Lord Xue, I am not your subordinate; speaking to this way is overly rude." Boss Xing was imdiately inflad, clenching his fists, yet refraining from action. The weight of the ’Shadow Organization’ was sothing he couldn’t afford to offend. His operations consistently failing ant rashness could lead to personal ruin.
Moreover, there was the terrifying capability of this seemingly young woman before him.
"Hmph, gain so real power and then discuss manners with ." Lord Xue rose slowly from her chair, casting a glance at the tremblingly furious Boss Xing. She left a cold remark, "You should understand, the ’Shadow Organization’ is the Lord’s trusted aide, untouchable by you. If you’re wise, you’d best let go of any crooked thoughts."
"Enough, you’ve received the task, just execute it without further inquiry." Lord Xue said as she left the rented room.
"Master, that woman is overly arrogant." After Lord Xue left, Poisonous Concubine couldn’t help but complain.
"The four commanders of romance within the ’Shadow Organization’ are the Lord’s most trusted aides. The operations of the ’Shadow Organization’ rely entirely on them. Their subordinates cover the whole of Huaxia, acutely gathering various intelligence. Although we both work for the Lord, the ’Shadow Organization’ is indeed the Lord’s ace."
....................................
Two days later.
"Soul Destroyer, has your body recovered?" Ye Shikai arrived at the Netherworld Palace and happened to see Soul Destroyer drinking dicine, the air was filled with the pungent scent of herbal dicine.
"Yes, the toxin is almost cleared, but according to Zi Yun’s request, I still need to drink dicine every day. Alas, drinking this is truly a living tornt." Soul Destroyer nodded, setting the dicine container on the table. "Master, when will we set off for the East Sea?"
"We’ll depart imdiately." Ye Shikai took out a small wooden bottle from his pocket, checked it again, and carefully placed it back.
"I’m all set." At this mont, Demoness erged, carrying two large backpacks.
"Demoness, this ti we’re heading to the East Sea only to help Ghost regain his mory, just and the master going is sufficient; there’s no need for so many people. Besides, the base here needs soone to guard it." Soul Destroyer walked over quickly, speaking softly.
"I am aware, but this Bai Mountain Snow Lotus was fought over by too, so I definitely have the right to go." Demoness responded defiantly, clearly determined to go to the East Sea.
"Of course, there’s no issue; let’s go together then." Ye Shikai discerned the emotion in Demoness’ words, realizing she was still sulking.
"Esteed, the car is prepared; the new batch of Hidden Guards just arrived, I need to train them to adapt to the environnt here, thus I won’t be joining the trip." Short-nosed Crocodile approached with several Hidden Guards, handing the car keys to Ye Shikai.
