The newcor was dressed in a tight black outfit, with a black cloth covering his face, and he was holding a man's corpse in his hands.
Xiang Shang felt an imnse pressure the mont he saw him.
This is a martial arts expert!
Xiang Shang glanced at the corpse in his hand, stood up, and cupped his hands in respect, saying, "May I ask, what brings you here?"
The black-clad figure glanced at Xiang Shang's wife and said, "Let her leave."
Xiang Shang's wife nodded and excused herself.
The black-clad figure then said, "Xiang Shang, this corpse is an assassin I took down for you. He was sent to kill you. I believe you know who wants to assassinate you, right?"
"Xu...Xu Hao? He..." Xiang Shang wanted to say Xu Hao was being duplicitous and despicable, but he stopped himself from speaking out loud; it's wise not to utter such words.
The black-clad figure nodded slightly and said, "It's from Xu Hao's side, but it's probably not sent by Xu Hao himself. Xu Hao wouldn't stoop to sothing so shaless; it's detrintal to his reputation. But these are minor issues. I've dealt with this person, so let's talk about our business now. Tell in detail about your experiences in The First Pyramid of Egypt."
Xiang Shang was montarily stunned and said, "How... how do you know I've been there?"
"I only found out recently. When I ca to Hongkong to find you, I discovered Xu Hao had restricted your movent, so I had to wait until you were free to co to you," the black-clad figure said truthfully.
"I understand now. In essence, it's because your personal strength doesn't match Xu Hao's, so you have to co to like this, right?" Inside, Xiang Shang felt a bit disdainful of the person.
The black-clad figure imdiately sensed Xiang Shang's thoughts and said lightly, "I just don't want to conflict with Xu Hao prematurely, Xu Hao is far from being a threat to us."
Xiang Shang didn't comnt on the black-clad figure's words, but under this person's pressure, he had to recount what he saw and experienced inside The First Pyramid of Egypt.
"Interesting, it seems a grand era is imminent, and many demons and ghosts can't resist coming out. You're quite good, knowing the tis and having so luck. Would you like to join our organization?" The black-clad figure invited Xiang Shang.
Xiang Shang was taken aback and said, "I can understand the other things you're saying, but you actually say I have luck? I haven't felt it myself."
The black-clad figure explained, "You managed to encounter the resurrected Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt Country and the Guardian Beast Gujira. Not only did they not kill you imdiately, but they also let you leave, rely using a curse to kill you. Everyone else died, yet you returned safely under Huaya's protection. Moreover, you survived what seed like bad luck and escaped from Xu Hao's hands. This series of events shows that you indeed have so luck. Ordinary people aren't lucky enough to encounter such powerful beings as the Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt Country."
"What's your organization called?" Xiang Shang asked.
"Avengers Alliance," the black-clad figure said casually.
"Aven... Avengers Alliance? You must be joking! Isn't that the alliance from Marvel?!" Xiang Shang said in disbelief.
"That's just fiction. Our Avengers Alliance truly exists, filled with powerful warriors. Xu Hao is nothing to us," the black-clad figure said lightly.
However, Xiang Shang, being a clever person, imdiately sensed that the black-clad figure ntioned Xu Hao several tis, as if trying to cover sothing up.
Could it be that Xu Hao is their real target?
Xiang Shang couldn't help but question in his heart and said, "I need to think about it. Can you give a contact thod, and I'll get back to you once I've made up my mind?"
"Sure."
After giving the contact information, the black-clad figure left.
When Xiang Shang's wife ca back inside, Xiang Shang told her what the black-clad figure had said. But his wife said, "Could this be a trap set by Xu Hao? He might be baiting you, giving him an excuse to cause you trouble. I feel in his eyes, you're soone who escaped with secrets. Maybe he doesn't trust you and thinks he should eliminate you."
Xiang Shang was startled by his wife's analysis, but he quickly said, "No, if it was really Xu Hao, he wouldn't go to such lengths, and besides, what they ntioned about the Avengers Alliance may very likely be a powerful organization. Wife, do you think I should join them?"
"I don't know about that, I just think since we've made an enemy of Xu Hao, we need to find a strong backer. Otherwise, Xu Hao might find an excuse to get rid of us in the future," Xiang Shang's wife said.
"Okay! I'll listen to my wife's advice. Even though Xu Hao and we don't have any imdiate conflict, who knows if he'll suddenly co back and attack. Since there's a powerful force offering us a place, let's join them!" Xiang Shang imdiately made a decision.
