The Capital, noon.
A black sedan drove directly into the small plaza in the center of the Imperial Palace.
Inside the car's back seat, Xu Mo looked at the palaces outside through the window, his hands clenched. “Director He, is this where we’ll be working? When can I start killing those Specters?”
The sedan slowly came to a stop. Li Xueming stepped forward and opened the car door. “Director, you’re back. We’ve identified the group responsible for the assassination attempt on you—it’s the Senluo Association, a newly emerged supernatural organization in Haicheng!”
He Wenxi didn't reply, instead turning to look at Xu Mo beside her. “Xu Mo.”
Xu Mo turned to her, a hint of confusion in his eyes. “What is it, Director He?”
A faint smile played on He Wenxi’s lips. “Right now, a group of terrorists wants to kill me.”
“But the Special Bureau is short-staffed. I intend to entrust this mission to you. Can you complete it perfectly and ease my burden?”
As she spoke, she leaned close to Xu Mo’s ear, her tone unhurried.
This action made Xu Mo’s body tremble, and his expression grew extremely serious. “Director He, I will absolutely not let you down!”
He Wenxi smiled and said without looking back, “Li Xueming, prepare a private jet for Haicheng.”
Li Xueming stood outside the car, a strange expression on his face as he watched the scene.
He didn't believe He Wenxi was such a frivolous person, and it was baffling how Xu Mo, having just joined, was so hyped up by her provocation, eager to fight even harder than they did.
“Understood, Director, I’ll arrange it immediately!” Li Xueming quickly turned to prepare the private jet.
The Special Bureau had just been established and desperately needed a battle to intimidate those arrogant supernatural beings.
And the Senluo Association was the “chicken” in this “killing the chicken to warn the monkeys” scenario.
It was afternoon. Haicheng, the Nanming Kingdom’s gateway city to the world, had the largest foreign population and its economy was comparable to Xichang City’s.
On a tall building overlooking the sea in Haicheng, a dreadlocked young man in a brown jacket stood by the window, gazing out at the ocean with his phone in hand.
“President, the assassins have failed, and the Security Bureau has traced it back to us. Should we go abroad to lay low?” The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely obsequious.
Hearing his subordinate’s words, veins popped on the dreadlocked youth’s face. “What did you say, you little punk? Do you think my Senluo Association is afraid of their newly established Special Bureau?”
“I’m not going anywhere. Tell our men to prepare their firearms. I’ll make those Capital folks understand that even the government can’t push us Haicheng people around!”
The person on the other end, hearing his President’s outburst, quickly said, “I apologize, President. I’m just used to the old ways of the government. I’ll arrange for our men to prepare for battle right away!”
“Oh, and President, should we still go through with that assassination commission we received from abroad?” The voice on the other end seemed to recall something and asked.
A two-billion assassination order—it was the most money the Senluo Association had ever earned since its inception.
“Do what? No, we’re not doing it. If they want their money back, tell them to come find me in Haicheng. I don’t believe they’ll dare come to the Nanming Kingdom from abroad to look for me.”
Su Wen hung up the phone, gazing disdainfully at the distant sea.
“Su Wen, I think we should still be cautious. Those government officials might not be so easy to deal with,” a female voice came from behind him in the room.
A woman, 2.6 meters tall, with a brawny face, wearing jeans and a black tank top, and carrying a large saber on her back, stood there.
Opposite the woman, an elderly man in a suit, wearing a black eye patch over his left eye, sat on the sofa.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” He slowly raised his teacup and sipped from the rim, completely unconcerned with the events unfolding outside.
Hearing this, Su Wen sneered, “Times are changing. Do you really think the government still has the final say in Haicheng? If the Liu family could kill them back then, why wouldn’t I, Su Wen, dare to do the same?!”
He had awakened his abilities over twenty days ago, before this Special Bureau even existed.
In Haicheng, as Su Wen’s orders went out.
A group of gang members and mercenary assassins he had recruited were gathered.
In the East District, inside a Senluo Association villa complex.
Vehicles constantly drove in from outside, and the people who got out had tattoos on their bodies or arms.
They were strongly built and, after getting out, walked toward the villa complex.
Inside, firearms that Su Wen had purchased with a hefty sum were piled high.
“Everyone, come collect your firearms and ammunition! If the government dares to make a move against us, just open fire!”
“President Su said that killing an ordinary soldier or inspector will earn you 100,000, killing one of their officials will earn you 500,000, and killing an official supernatural being will earn you 5,000,000!” a middle-aged man holding a loudspeaker shouted.
The people gathered around, hearing such good news, all had their eyes light up.
“Really? Give me more guns, damn it!” a burly man with a scarred face roared.
The crowd began to stir, each one growing excited. “100,000 for one person, hahaha! If those pampered soldiers dare to come, I’ll take them out!”
Those who could join the Senluo Association all had blood on their hands, and with supernatural beings protecting them, they weren’t afraid of this newly established official supernatural department.
People began distributing guns and bullets. More and more personnel gathered here, totaling over two hundred armed Senluo Association members.
With so many people, if the government truly moved against them, they would simply hide in the city, using ordinary citizens as human shields to fight back.
Just as the Senluo Association prepared to counter the government’s strike.
In the streets of Haicheng’s various districts, men and women wearing sunglasses appeared.
Through their sunglasses, a pair of crimson eyes could be seen.
They were awaiting the impending battle, to see if the Special Bureau could take down the Senluo Association.
If the Special Bureau failed, they would face an attack from the Liu family, and the Special Bureau’s high command would be replaced.
Not only were members of the Liu family present in the city, but also people from the Church of the Earth Mother and the Scott Syndicate.
As night fell and time passed, the first to arrive were agents from the Security Bureau.
Dressed in plain clothes, they moved throughout Haicheng, searching for the locations of Senluo Association members.
At 8 PM, a private jet from the Capital landed at the airport.
The cabin door opened, and He Wenxi, dressed in a black suit coat over a white shirt, descended with a calm expression.
Behind her followed Xu Mo, also in a white shirt and black trousers, and Li Xueming with two supernatural agents from the Special Bureau.
Below the airport, the area had already been cleared.
Several black sedans were parked there, and the Director of the Haicheng Security Bureau stood below, waiting with a respectful expression.
Seeing He Wenxi descend, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, “Director He, we’ve thoroughly investigated the Senluo Association’s background. They only have three supernatural beings, and they’ve gathered over two hundred armed men in the city…”
As he tried to say more, He Wenxi raised a hand to interrupt him, a slight upturn to her lips. “No need for such detail. We’ve already received the intelligence on our way here.”
With that, she turned to Xu Mo. “You only need to kill the three supernatural beings of the Senluo Association.”
“In this battle, you don’t need to hold back. Let the rats watching the Special Bureau from the shadows understand that the government still calls the shots here.”
“Alright, Director He, just watch me. I’ll definitely make those guys understand the power of the Special Bureau!” Xu Mo patted his chest and turned to walk outside.
Vehicles were waiting to pick them up.
“Li Xueming, let’s go. If those two hundred-plus useless men cause trouble, the outcome won’t look good,” He Wenxi said, walking toward the vehicles.
Li Xueming and the others followed expressionlessly.
The vehicles drove out of the airport separately. The area had long been cleared by the Security Bureau, so the Senluo Association members had no idea that their executioners had already arrived.
