Chapter 27
Following the lead of the maid, Lu Xuan arrived at the front hall. Along the way around secluded corners, he could see some bodyguards patrolling inconcspicuously.
Of course, that was only how it appeared to look on the surface!
That should be all the security the Lings had. When facing petty thieves, or even burglars, security like this could already be considered quite strict.
However, if real cultivators were to come, a force of such strength would be fragile, to say the least. Even if the breacher weren’t a martial arts legend like him, and was instead a regular Baodan Grandmaster, no one could ever stop them.
If the assassination organization was armed, they could even barge right in.
While the Lings were considered one of the ultra-rich, in a society where laws and regulations had not yet caved, the firearms restriction laws still stood firmly in place.
In the hall, Ling Fei and Ling Huang sat and waited on the sofa.
Just that at that time, the Agency of Special Affairs was not as obscure as they were now. By then, the Agency of Special Affairs would have become a prominent giant, an existence that most could never stand up against.
It was the leader of many cultivator factions.
Right now, the Agency of Special Affairs was the same as many cultivator factions. They lie low as the changes of heaven and earth had not yet been publicly announced, and so they could only move in the shadows.
“In that case, I shall not waste my breath. The reason I’m here today is that my old comrade, Ling Huang, invited me over. I heard that an overseas organization has stretched its hands into our country!” Yun Sheng explained, “While ordinary kidnappings do not fall under our jurisdiction, this case involved a cultivator like Poison Scorpion. We are in charge of all cases involving cultivators within the borders of Huaxia!
“I had looked up some information last night. The Poison Scorpion belongs to an overseas assassin organization going by the name of Hellfire!” Yun Sheng said.
Hellfire?
It went without saying that Lu Xuan was well aware of that name. Even in the future, it was a notorious assassin organization, but it was mainly active overseas.
To a lot of factions in Huaxia, it represented a taboo that all dared not approach.
“Some people sure got bold over the years!”
Yun Sheng stated coldly.
“After a short discussion with my old comrade, we decided that we should make use of this chance to lure all of the assassins of the Hellfire out in the open. Once they show, we will ambush and kill them all in one fell swoop!”
Lu Xuan turned to Ling Huang, slightly surprised that Ling Huang was willing to use himself as bait. He, of all people, should know just how dangerous this would be.
After all, he was but a mortal of flesh and blood, not a powerful being like Lu Xuan.
Ling Huang seemed to sense Lu Xuan’s puzzlement. He explained with some apparent anger, “If we let go of this chance to eradicate them once and for all, there will be no end to this matter. The thief could steal for a thousand days, but the guard could not stand guard for a thousand nights. Also, we have in our hands the Vajra Amulets that you gave us. We have prepared as best we can!”
That was when Ling Huang finally displayed the gallantry of an army veteran. Although he had turned to the business world for many, many years, deep in his bones, he was still that lion-hearted soldier.
“We have made a plan. We must get them all at once!”
Yun Sheng stated.
