Chapter 323: Chapter 265 Dou Family
The light of the Teleportation Array flashed montarily; as the distorted light and shadow slowly dissipated, the surrounding scenery gradually ca into focus.
Chen Xing surveyed his surroundings; they seed to be in a vast underground cavern, with strangely shaped rocks on the cave walls and the sound of dripping water echoing in their ears.
Inside the cavern, a group of intelligence agents clad in black were bustling about, their figures busily moving under the dim lights.
At this mont, two figures in black approached, a man and a woman, both with agile steps. The man walked in the front, and the surrounding workers bowed respectfully to him.
“Director Liu,” soone called out softly.
Director Liu nodded slightly in response. He walked up to Qin Xuan; the two exchanged smiles as if they had known each other for many years. After a brief greeting, he turned his gaze to Qiu Shangqing, his deanor becoming even more respectful, “Elder Qiu, long ti no see.”
“So it’s you who were transferred here; no wonder I haven’t seen much of you these past years,” Qiu Shangqing stroked his beard, a flicker of realization in his eyes.
Director Liu politely smiled.
Qin Xuan asked in a deep voice, “How are things here?”
“It’s the sa as usual,” Director Liu leading the way replied, “but recently, there have been diverse opinions among the upper echelons of Bibo Great City.
So are worried about going to war with Fentian Giant City, while others want to draw the war to our Great Xia and make us the main force in the war.
There are even people from Bibo Great City planning to disguise themselves as troops from Fentian Giant City to secretly attack us, thereby intensifying the conflict between us and Fentian Giant City.”
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn’t help but be alard. The intelligence network of Great Xia was so powerful; could it be that there were their people among the upper echelons of Bibo Great City too?
“They are indeed cunning,” Qiu Shangqing snorted disdainfully.
Director Liu led them into a secret chamber.
Under the flickering candlelight, his expression beca especially serious, “Speaking of conflicts, the feud between Bibo Great City and Fentian Giant City has a long history, with continuous friction over the years. Now, it only lacks a spark to ignite this powder keg.”
He took a deep breath and continued, “Therefore, the higher-ups have decided to strike first, to not give them a chance to start a war.”
Director Liu glanced at everyone present and continued, “Your mission remains unchanged, but there are so additional requirents.
Before the operation begins, everyone must sign a confidentiality agreent. If anyone is unwilling to participate, they may opt out in advance but must temporarily stay here until the operation is over before returning.
Moreover, for security reasons, we won’t disclose the specific details of the mission until all personnel have assembled.”
Chen Xing frowned; his target was the Dou Family.
Wouldn’t changing the mission an replacing the target?
If he waited until the operation was over, would he still have a chance to infiltrate the Dou Family once Bibo Great City was alerted?
“What are the requirents? Just spit it out,” Qin Xuan cursed, “I’ve even brought my younger brother here, and now you tell us there are additional requirents?”
Director Liu glanced at the group, his eyes pausing on Chen Xing for a mont.
“Enough, stop looking; just say it,” Qin Xuan said.
Director Liu sighed, this guy…
“The target is still the sa, the Dou Family has been quite restless in recent years, jumping up and down. Although we know they are just pawns, they are quite an eyesore, so we might as well remove this thorn.
However, you need to conceal your identities and can only use Fire Attribute skills while leaving so special traces.”
“Ah, so you an framing people from Fentian Giant City, but the selection is inappropriate…” Qin Xuan rubbed his chin, glancing sideways at the nonchalant Elder Qiu, the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily.
In fact, Qiu Shangqing was not his invite; he was the candidate arranged by the higher-ups.
At first, he was sowhat puzzled, but now he sort of understood; the task was probably unusual, and Elder Qiu might have been inford about the operation in advance.
But sothing about this task seed off.
Everyone knew Qiu Shangqing’s signature Beast Taming was the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, a Water Attribute Beast Tar.
To ask a Water Attribute Beast Tar to use Fire Attribute skills? Did the person who arranged this task have a brain issue?
Elder Qiu, as a Water Attribute Beast Tar, should be impersonating soone from Bibo Great City instead.
“Agreed,” Chen Xing nodded.
He agreed to the ruse; for him, the actual target of the mission wasn’t very significant.
What was important was that what he needed was in the Dou Family; that was enough.
Moreover, the Dou Family of Bibo Territory, along with the Liú Family, had laid a trap for him; it was only reasonable and just for him to return the favor! Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease!
“Gentlen,” Director Liu said solemnly, “you are the valiant warriors of Great Xia, and for this operation, we have carefully prepared so supplies for you.”
With that, he pulled back the curtain, and four large boxes ca into view, perfectly corresponding to the four of them.
As the boxes were opened, four sets of gleaming full armor were neatly arranged inside, each set imposing in its own right.
Qin Xuan stepped forward, his eyes fervently fixed on the armors, asking in surprise, “Director Liu, these are full armors of the Grand City Imperial Guards from Fentian Giant City, where did you get these gems?”
“They were issued by the higher-ups for this mission,” Director Liu said.
Qin Xuan said, “These armors aren’t easy to co by; each set has a unique number, tied specifically to a person, terminated with the person’s death. Have you infiltrated even the Imperial Guards of the Giant City?”
Qin Xuan gently lifted his cape and indeed found the engraved number on the back of the armor—758.
