An Xi glanced at a local ruffian beside her, another Yan Country national who had co here to prospect for gold.
In the Mining Capital, there were many people like him; initially, they all ca for gold, but only a few managed to strike it rich, so gradually, so started to engage in other industries.
After all, in the hearts of the Yan Country people, if you went abroad and didn't make sothing of yourself, you clearly wouldn't have the face to return ho.
As the head of the largest Yan Country business association in the Mining Capital, the Liu Family often helped those who failed at gold prospecting and were living in dire straits, even assisting them with small trades locally. Over ti, these people beca quite obedient to the Liu Family's calls.
The local ruffian Lin San glanced at An Xi, patted his chest, and assuredly said, "Miss An, I may not be good at other things, but when it cos to familiarity with this block, I could tell you what's happening here even with my eyes closed."
"Recently, a group of people arrived at this residence, and they brought in a lot of supplies. The labor they hired are all my guys."
"In a place like the Mining Capital, although it's relatively peaceful, it's still quite conspicuous when a bunch of foreigners move in."
"And considering the criteria Miss An provided earlier, this place matches your conditions the closest."
"Alright, enough chit-chat, take the money and leave."
An Xi pulled out a wad of Federation Coins and urged Lin San to leave quickly. Lin San nodded and promptly turned away, as a Dragon Tooth Warrior approached An Xi's side.
"The defense around this estate is quite strict, with surveillance caras installed all around. From the thermal imaging, there are at least a dozen people inside. Should we deploy drones for reconnaissance?"
"There's no need for that, just storm in, anyone who resists, kill on sight."
An Xi ordered coldly.
"Yes!"
Receiving An Xi's orders, Dragon Tooth Warrior imdiately used wireless communication to issue the attack order to the positioned Dragon Guards.
"Comnce operation."
Upon receiving the command, the Dragon Guards, already dispersed around the estate, launched their assault, first taking out several hidden surveillance caras on the street.
anwhile, in a nearby courtyard, several drones took off quickly, speeding towards the target estate.
Inside the estate, the hacker known as the King, responsible for all communications, was initially stunned by the sudden online disconnections. However, in the next second, several other screens also went black one after another.
This couldn't possibly be a malfunction.
"Not good, the outer surveillance caras have all been knocked out."
Jas stood up suddenly from his chair, turned to look out the window, and just as he laid eyes on the estate's gate, an ard pickup truck with a battering ram, like an ancient siege engine, crashed right into the front gate. A simple iron gate couldn't possibly hold, shattering instantly into pieces.
The bodyguards inside the estate, hearing the commotion, imdiately ca to their senses, grabbing their weapons and firing a barrage at the ard pickup.
But just as the gunfire echoed, bullets were already shooting from the airborne drones, instantly taking down several bodyguards.
The door of the ard pickup was pushed open, and two Dragon Tooth Warriors leaped out, drawing their guns and swiftly eliminating the remaining bodyguards.
In the blink of an eye, the bodyguards in the outer courtyard of the estate were all taken down.
Seeing the attackers now inside the villa, Jas realized they were all dressed like people from Yan Country, leaving no doubt about who these invaders were.
The elite rcenaries under the Dragon King, known as the strongest group in the rcenary world, the Dragon Tooth Warriors.
Jas's face darkened; he hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly, though he had considered the possibility of being found out eventually.
From the start of the Dragon Slayer operation, not even two minutes had passed before the Dragon Tooth Warriors appeared in front of him.
It was over.
Despite so bodyguards still being in the villa, Jas knew they stood no chance against the elite Dragon Tooth Warriors.
Jas took a deep breath while the hacker King looked a bit flustered, glancing at Jas and saying, "Shouldn't we be escaping?"
Jas looked at King, "Do you think you can escape? The ones who broke in are Dragon Tooth Warriors, the strongest soldiers in the rcenary world."
"If I had the determination to go down fighting, perhaps I could take them with , but I don't, so it's better not to do anything futile and make myself uncomfortable."
Jas was never one to play the hard role; despite his professional training, he'd always been in a desk job.
Staying hidden, he could strategize, devise plans, and kill from a distance, but once caught, he was practically defenseless.
Seeing Jas surrendering, King felt no loyalty either. He was just a paid hacker, after all.
Anyway, it's better to avoid imdiate losses.
The villa's defenses collapsed quickly. Against the assault of the elite Dragon Tooth Warriors, a re dozen guards were like paper puppets.
Soon, the Dragon Tooth Warriors burst into the large reception hall on the second floor, facing a surrendering Jas and King.
"I surrender, I'm just hired help."
King, seeing the fully ard Dragon Tooth Warriors, raised his hands in complete submission.
"I am the person in charge here. I hope to et the Dragon King; I have important intelligence." Jas took a deep breath, unhesitant in betraying his previous employers.
Jas knew that his forr employers, the dici family, held trendous influence in the Southern Federation. Once he betrayed them, he would definitely be hunted down.
But more pressing than the future threat was surviving the current ordeal; while the dici family was powerful, the Dragon King was no pushover.
"Oh, you're the one in charge?"
Dragon Tooth Warrior sneered coldly, moving forward and delivering a hard blow, nearly causing Jas to vomit his dinner, and dropping to his knees with a thud.
"Daring to plot against our Young Master, and now you want to change sides, huh, wishful thinking?"
This Dragon Tooth Warrior wasn't gentle, delivering a thorough beating to Jas, though he refrained from using a bullet to finish him off.
An Xi, under the guard of the Dragon Guards, made her way to the villa's second floor, where a Dragon Guard pulled out a chair for her. An Xi sat down.
Jas, thrown in front of An Xi like a beaten dog, was looked upon by An Xi, who said, "Give a reason to let you live."
Jas was already beaten badly, blood in his mouth, but thankfully, his injuries were superficial.
"I'm just a manager; soone else wants to kill the Dragon King. I can provide information on them."
"Additionally, I'm an intelligence analyst. Before being recruited by the other side, I worked for the Sixth Division."
"I know a lot of intelligence and am willing to work for you."
An Xi looked at the pleading Jas, sneering coldly, "You're negotiating terms with ?"
"I just want to stay alive."
An Xi smiled beautifully: "If you want to live, then don't play gas. Tell everything you know, and if I'm in a good mood, I might let you go, but if not, well, you can only bla your bad luck."
Looking at Jas with a smile, An Xi continued, "I don't have much ti to waste with you here."
"I'll count to three. If you don't speak, then forget it. After all, even if you don't, I can find out eventually, just wasting a bit of ti and effort."
"One."
"Two."
As An Xi counted, she raised her hand, and a nearby Dragon Guard handed her a pistol, which An Xi cocked, raising her arm to aim the muzzle at Jas's head.
"Three."
