Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 793 The Lion's Deterrence

Few people knew of the existence of the Underworld Hall, but those who did know of this assassin organization were no ordinary individuals.

As the first assassin organization in the country not eliminated by the authorities, they had already reached their peak. Although they accepted bounty orders from the Great Xia government, they were still closely monitored. After all, as an assassin organization, no one knew if they would attack ordinary people.

Monitoring was necessary, and when national security was threatened, the authorities could quickly move to eliminate them!

However, after Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang began to frequent the Dragon Pavilion, the surveillance on them was lifted.

Since they could enter and exit the Dragon Pavilion, it meant they belonged to Ye Longlin, and thus there was no need to monitor them.

Ultimately, it was because many people trusted the Dragon Pavilion unconditionally!

"Boss hasn't sent a message yet, could something have happened?"

Bai Wuchang asked with concern. According to the time, they had been waiting here for over three hours, and many armed personnel had entered the Zhou family's residence. They were also worried about something happening to their boss.

Hei Wuchang shook his head and said calmly, "Boss is at the Saint Realm. Nothing can happen to him in Chang'an. Boss has no signal now, probably because of new arrangements. Moreover, it's just a mercenary squad. Do you think it's worth deploying so many of us?"

Bai Wuchang nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more, harboring a guess in his heart.

"However, still send people to continue gathering intelligence on the Zhou family's situation. Even though we are here, we must understand the current state of the Zhou family."

Bai Wuchang: "Alright."

At the same time, within the Zhou family residence.

The longer Mike stayed here, the closer he felt he was to his death. After all, he was facing that legendary overseas figure, the ruthless individual who had single-handedly shattered the entire third world overseas.

The Dark Round Table Conference, arms companies, and others all harbored deep忌惮 for this person. His reputation was something that even foreigners dared not mention.

He was simply too terrifying.

If it weren't for this person breaking the established order of the mercenary world, he wouldn't have been able to assemble such a large team in such a short period.

The Owl mercenary group now had over three hundred members. It was only after he broke the established order of the mercenary world that Mike managed to recruit so many people, each of them a seasoned veteran.

However, when facing Ye Longlin, he couldn't suppress his inner fear.

"Fuck! Why hasn't the Executive Director arrived yet? May God bless me, may Jesus be with me."

He prayed constantly in his heart. Finally, amidst his continuous pleading, the Executive Director of the Dark Hall arrived!

The Executive Director wore a black robe, and his head was covered by a large mask, making it impossible to know his true identity.

"Are you sure he's been drugged?"

The Executive Director spoke slowly. In fact, ever since the Zhou family incident began, he had been secretly watching, fearing that Ye Longlin would pretend to be drugged. That's why he had been watching in secret all along.

It wasn't just Mike who was wary of Ye Longlin; even he was. It was only yesterday, after the two Eight God Heavens appeared in Chang'an, that he dared to make a move against Ye Longlin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the courage to attack Ye Longlin alone.

That kind of reverence and fear for a strong individual made him dare not attack Ye Longlin.

"I can confirm. At least I can guarantee that while I was present, he didn't make any moves."

Mike said vigilantly, the hairs on his body still standing on end. This feeling was truly awful, but there was nothing he could do.

As a member of the Dark Hall, he had to obey the commands of the Dark Hall.

He had personally witnessed the fate of those who disobeyed, so he dared not defy them.

"Very good. You have done well. The organization will not forget you."

The Executive Director nodded with satisfaction. It was only after confirming that Ye Longlin posed no threat that he emerged from the shadows.

"Go, put the handcuffs on him, and tie up all the Xia family members."

The Executive Director sat down, feeling no danger, and naturally relaxed.

Upon hearing this, a chill shot from the soles of Mike's feet. He quickly shook his head, "I won't go, I won't go. Zhou, you go!"

Here, Zhou Tao had the lowest status.

Being singled out and having a gun pointed at him, Zhou Tao was certain that if he didn't go, the other party would shoot him dead. If he didn't go, he would die, leaving him no choice.

Taking the handcuffs from Mike, he walked directly towards Ye Longlin.

"Ye Longlin, oh Ye Longlin, although I don't know why they are so afraid of you, I am not. What is there to be afraid of in a dead person? Although I don't want to deal with you, if I don't, I will die. So, I can only ask you to go die.

Don't worry, after you die, I will definitely burn more paper money for you. Don't come to haunt me either; I'm being forced."

Hearing this, Ye Longlin raised an eyebrow. Looking at the ground, he saw a sharp stone in front of him.

He took advantage of their inattention and flicked his finger, directly hitting Zhou Tao's knee.

Zhou Tao cried out in pain instinctively and then fell directly!

"Ah!"

But unfortunately, the sharp stone only pierced his cheek, going through his cheek and mouth, creating a large hole.

"Ah—"

Blood gushed out instantly!

This sudden scene caused the Executive Director and Mike to retreat rapidly, both pairs of eyes fixed on Ye Longlin, staring intently at him, preventing him from suddenly attacking.

"Zhou, how are you, Zhou?"

Mike asked, unsure if it was Ye Longlin's doing.

"I... fell... fell..."

He could barely speak clearly, with air escaping.

Now, there was truly a leak.

Hearing him say he fell, the two breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't Ye Longlin who did it, they no longer felt any psychological pressure.

Even when a lion sleeps, it can still deter the animals in the forest.

"Viper, you go."

Mike, fearing the Executive Director would call him, preemptively instructed Viper to go and handcuff him.

Viper nervously shook his head, "Boss, I dare not. Yes, I am afraid of him. God might not be on my side. I promise, my legs are already weak, and only my fingers can move."

Damn!

If your fingers can move, how are you shaking your head?

"Eagle, you know, I've always trusted you. You're the Vice-Commander. This glorious and great task should be yours. God will remember your contribution, I will remember your contribution, and the Executive Director will remember your contribution."
