A glass of red wine, scarlet as blood, gently swayed; moonlight rays painted it a mysterious tint .
The man holding the glass of wine had a scar running across the corner of his eye, but it didn’t make him ugly . Instead, when paired with his inscrutable smile, it added a bewitching quality to his looks .
“President, three trucks of supplies and that old woman were all abducted . Also, we can’t get into contact with Elder Jin at all…” the Vice President of the Martial Arts Union softly reported to the man sitting on the sofa .
“Meow!”
A big, black cat nimbly leaped onto the sofa and burrowed into the man’s arms .
The man placed his wine glass aside, an indescribable smile hanging on his face . “So are you certain it was the Fearless Alliance?”
“Based on my investigation, most likely,” the Vice President replied .

“Oh…? Most likely?” The man chuckled airily .
“I’m certain . The culprit was really the Fearless Alliance, but I was unable to find any solid evidence . However, this was the Fearless Alliance’s modus operandi and I’ve investigated the other suspicious factions . All suspicion could be eliminated, except regarding the Fearless Alliance,” the Vice President answered truthfully .
“Heh …”
The corners of the man’s lips turned up . “I can understand robbing trucks of supplies, but abducting Elder Jin… Now, that’s interesting . ”
“President, I found out that woman went to Scarlet Flames Academy . You know that the headmaster of Scarlet Flames Academy is extremely proficient in hypnosis…? Moreover, that woman hired many high-ranking mercenaries to perform missions for her . ”
“Are you saying… she’s recovered her memory?” the man asked .
“It’s uncertain . I just think it’s very possible,” the Vice President responded after a moment of thought .

“I hope her memory will recover faster . Otherwise, what would the point be?” The man picked up the wine glass again and took a small sip .
“Also…President, Nie Linglong’s ambitions are getting too big . Are we really cooperating with her—no, the power behind her?” The Vice President had a light frown on his face .
“You mean the Direct Line?” The man was contemplative .
“President, you should know what the Direct Line wants to do . They absolutely won’t hold back on the Independent State . ”
“Heh, we’re just using each other . ” The man smirked . “A good show is about to begin, no?”
The next day at Asura’s headquarters:
Lin Que sought Si Yehan out early in the morning . He wore a hectic expression as he reported, “Ninth Brother, I just got news that Slaughter’s Gate and Heavenly Hatred contacted all the major underground organizations of the Independent State and summoned a meeting…”

Si Yehan set down the document in his hands . “Summoned a meeting?”
“That’s right . I have no idea what the heck those two bosses are doing . Why are they summoning a meeting out of nowhere like this…? I heard that they invited the periphery organizations, the underground organizations—basically any organization with a presence in the Independent State . Should we go?” Lin Que inquired .
“Yes . ” Si Yehan didn’t express any hesitation .
Asura currently had a cooperative relationship with Slaughter’s Gate and Heavenly Hatred, so they naturally had to extend them some courtesy by attending this kind of meeting .
“One more thing . I heard that they actually specifically invited the Fearless Alliance this time! What are they thinking?” Lin Que was a bit confused since the Fearless Alliance had always been a lone wolf and didn’t show courtesy to anyone, regardless of whether they were “good” or “evil . ”
“Was it related to the events last night?” Lin Que murmured .
Si Yehan didn’t seem surprised to learn the Fearless Alliance was invited . He calmly answered, “We’ll find out when we
Li covertly peeked at a certain person . “Okay…”
Why did he suddenly feel like Ninth Brother agreed to go not to attend a meeting but to go on a date???
