Chapter 86 - 0086: The Gathering Storm_1



In the midst of a vast forest, all was silent as two figures faced each other.

One of them, clad in black robes, was shrouded in darkness, with only a pair of eerie green eyes showing.

The other was a young girl whose clothes had been slashed in several places, revealing glimpses of skin beneath.

If Ye Xiong were here, he would definitely recognize that he had fought with both of them before.

“Sister, I have not failed in my mission. He Haodong’s head has been blown off with a single shot,” Angel said.

“That can be considered making up for past mistakes,” the Black-Robed Person nodded.

“Sister, I don’t understand. Wouldn’t it have been better to just shoot and kill Ye Xiong? Why kill He Haodong?” Angel asked, puzzled.

“A master at his realm is extremely sensitive to killing intent. If you had focused on him instead of He Haodong, it would have been easy to be discovered,” the Black-Robed Person explained before her voice turned cold. “I’ve given He Haodong many chances, but not only has he failed to kill Ye Xiong, he has been defeated by him every time. He has begun to expose himself, and the organization is starting to doubt his abilities, preparing to replace the liaison.”

“Who else in Jiangnan City would be more suitable to be the liaison than him?” Angel asked, curious.

“Of course, there is someone, but the question is whether we can persuade her to take the role. Now that He Haodong is dead, He Mengji will definitely think her brother was killed by Ye Xiong, which increases our chances. If we can win her over as our liaison, then not only Jiangnan City but the whole Guangnan Province will be ours,” the Black-Robed Person laughed ominously.

Angel had never seen her sister admire someone to this extent and she became even more curious about the person who would replace He Haodong as the liaison.

“Sister, have you found out anything about Ye Xiong’s background?” Angel couldn’t help asking.

The Black-Robed Person shook her head and said, “The records show he is an orphan from Jiangnan City, but our people can’t find any trace of him no matter how deep they search. It’s as if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere in this world. However, someone with such incredible skills must be no ordinary individual. The organization has already sent people to intensively investigate, and we should have results soon.”

“If I see him again, I certainly won’t spare him,” Angel said fiercely.

Seeing a rare flush on her face, the Black-Robed Person frowned and said seriously, “Angel, you mustn’t be fooled by this man’s appearance. On the surface, he may seem nonchalant and reluctant to harm you, but it’s only because he’s playing a long game. Next time you encounter him, you must not be soft-hearted; you must seize the opportunity to deliver a lethal blow.”

“Understood, sister. I will not be deceived by his facade,” Angel nodded firmly.

Abroad, in a European-style villa in a Middle Eastern country.

Bang!

A corner of solid wood furniture was directly chopped off, and the hand of the young girl dripped with blood.

“Brother, rest assured, I will definitely avenge you.”

He Mengji clenched her fists tightly, a tear rolled down from her eyes, quickly streaked down her chin, and dropped to the floor.

The He Family of Jiangnan City is recognized as the foremost family in the city.

Ever since the Family Head He Feng mysteriously disappeared following an accident five years ago, only twenty-year-old He Haodong and eighteen-year-old He Mengji were left in the He Family.

At that time, no one was optimistic about the He Family, believing that their business would surely plummet and they would fall from the ranks of Jiangnan City’s prominent companies.

Who could have guessed that in just five years, the strength of the He siblings would astound everyone.

Under the leadership of the two siblings, the He Family not only didn’t fall but became one of the biggest enterprises in the city, with their value increasing several times over.

Most people thought all of this was He Haodong’s doing, as he was ruthless and patient, knew how to leverage underworld influences to arm himself, and could cater to both the legitimate and illegitimate sides, which led to the success of Haotian Group today.

Only those in the know understood that Haotian Group’s success today was entirely due to a woman behind the scene.

A woman in the Middle East, known as the Huaxia Think Tank.

No one knew where she came from, nor did they know her name, only that she had swept away huge profits from wars in the Middle Eastern region. With money as her path, she opened up innumerable connections in Huaxia and only then did she come to possess the Haotian Group of today.

“Thirteen, book me the fastest ticket back to Huaxia, immediately,” He Mengji ordered the shaved-headed young man from Huaxia Country by her side.

The shaved-headed young man nodded and was about to leave when He Mengji suddenly called out, “Wait, book two tickets, you’re coming back with me.”

“Miss, the organization here in the Middle East still needs someone in charge, if neither of us are here…” the shaved-headed young man said.

“Leave it to Batu,” she said.

“Can that brute Batu handle it?”

“If he can’t, then let them fend for themselves!” He Mengji displayed a trace of coldness on her face and sadly said, “Thirteen, my dear brother, was the motivation for my life’s struggle, and now that he’s gone, what’s the point in working so hard? I regret not staying by his side. If I had, I could have protected him well and prevented him from getting hurt.”

“Miss, I will avenge your brother,” Thirteen coldly said.

“When I return this time, I will make everyone aware of the consequences for those who offend the He family,” He Mengji fiercely said.

In the chairman’s office of Mingyang International Hotel.

Du Yuehua sat on the couch, looking utterly soulless.

Ever since she found out Ye Xiong had been captured, she had been out of sorts. She used all her means to find out where Ye Xiong was and learned he had been taken to the province’s capital, which made her even more worried.

Though she worried, she was just a businesswoman, a woman with no political background, utterly unable to help.

At her wit’s end, she had no choice but to make that phone call.

If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, she would rather not make the call for the rest of her life.

Upon finding the unfamiliar phone number, she dialed it out, and in a moment, the call connected.

“President Yang, it’s me, Du Yuehua.”

“President Du, hello.” The other end of the line carried the professional voice of Yang Xinyi.

Du Yuehua knew that Yang Xinyi’s marriage to Ye Xiong was a sham. It was merely a transaction between the two, but that was just what they said; who knew the actual situation?

Now that she had been intimate with Ye Xiong, he had become another part of her life. Therefore, no matter the cost, Du Yuehua was determined to find a way to save him.

“President Yang, you know about Ye Xiong’s capture, right?” Du Yuehua asked, getting right to the point.

“I haven’t heard of it, what happened?”

On the other end of the phone, Yang Xinyi was extremely calm, betraying no emotion.

Du Yuehua recounted how Ye Xiong had caused trouble at Fuhua Grand Hotel, injuring the hotel’s security guards and harming He Haodong, as well as how the police had sent dozens of armed officers to take Ye Xiong away, sparing no details.

After Yang Xinyi finished listening, there was silence on her end, making it hard for Du Yuehua to discern her attitude.

“You called me, are you asking for my help to save him?” Yang Xinyi asked indifferently.
