Chapter 522: Chapter 522: The Purpose of Fire Phoenix and Owl Dragon
In an underground casino, in a room, the woman in a black leather jacket, known as Fire Phoenix, sat with her legs crossed in a ladylike manner on the sofa. By her side, there was only Leng i awaiting orders. Fire Phoenix was fiddling with a mobile phone in her hand, her gaze unintentionally lingering on it as if waiting for soone’s call. Yes, she was indeed waiting for a call, naturally waiting for Ye Fan to call.
Ye Fan certainly knew her private number. Although the clues left by Fire Phoenix were scarce, just Leng i’s presence was enough to deduce ample information. She had no doubt that Ye Fan would have figured her out.
Moreover, Fire Phoenix knew that Ye Fan was about to call.
She was, of course, very well acquainted with Ye Fan’s skills and abilities.
"Have the captured individuals been settled properly?" Fire Phoenix’s lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
"Reporting to the Mistress, everything has been arranged. Han Bihong and her ten sisters are tied up. To prevent any tricks, the Shadow Guard is watching them, so there won’t be any problems," Leng i replied. "As for the sisters, Chu ngyao and Chu Biyao, they haven’t been bound or tied up, just sitting idly in the room. They’re quite composed, not crying or making a fuss, waiting for us to make a move, aren’t they?"
Leng i harbored countless doubts and was thoroughly puzzled, yet she dared not question and could only follow her master’s orders.
After capturing ngyao and the others, Fire Phoenix did nothing and had no specific asures in place, simply biding her ti. This left Leng i perplexed about the purpose behind such inaction, wondering what her master intended to achieve.
"Make a move? Hehe." Fire Phoenix chuckled softly and said, "These two sisters are quite interesting, can’t help but make
see them in a new light. They are wise and pragmatic, still waiting for my next move despite being in a predicant. Indeed, in this situation, it’s my turn to act. But with no movents from , I suppose the sisters might be getting a bit uneasy and filled with doubt."
She had talked with ngyao once and had already understood the sisters’ situation, so nothing was surprising. Everything was seemingly under control, and her patience was ample.
Actually, it’s not just ngyao and others who are bewildered; even Leng i is deeply confused.
"Mistress, the sisters are always saying they’d like to have a talk with us. What do you think about this?" Leng i cautiously asked.
"No need to bother with them for now. Once I’m free, I will et the old acquaintances," Fire Phoenix said slowly. "But before that, I should welco the visiting guest, shouldn’t I?"
"Old acquaintances?" Leng i murmured, not understanding why her master referred to ngyao and others as old acquaintances. However, before she could ponder further, the ntion of a ’guest’ suddenly startled her.
"Guest? What guest?" Leng i thought, her heart suddenly tightened, as she turned towards the door and said, "Could it be that soone has snuck in secretly?"
"Since you’re here, co on in. Why sneak around?" Fire Phoenix’s calm voice spread out.
"As expected of the Fire Phoenix, your keen hearing is comndable. I have tried my best to conceal my breath, yet you still detected my presence," Xiaolong laughed heartily, then pushed the door open and strode in with a carefree manner.
"Who are you?" Leng i suddenly asked, an answer quietly forming in her heart. Since this man could infiltrate without a sound and evade the Shadow Guard’s sight, there was indeed only one answer: he is a Human Body Limit strongman. Thinking of this, Leng i was slightly respectful, as turning a blind eye to any Human Body Limit strongman is unwise. "A Human Body Limit strongman cannot be insulted; those who do will certainly die," is a universally acknowledged standard.
"Xiaolong, head of the Hidden Dragon Base, one of the three Human Body Limit elite of the Huaxia military. How could he be here?" Leng i had recognized Xiaolong’s identity, while the impressive intelligence work of Huaxia profoundly shocked her.
She prided herself on being cautious enough not to leave any traces, yet she was still exposed.
"Leave us." Fire Phoenix said slowly.
"Yes." Leng i bowed respectfully, collected her emotions, and then respectfully walked out, closing the door behind her.
Xiaolong gave Leng i a brief glance before withdrawing his gaze and then sat down familiarly.
"Your skill at speaking unabashed lies is impressive; why pretend otherwise? You clearly made a slight noise on purpose to let
notice, then praised my keen hearing. A forced complint with no genuine intent is as good as deceit. Why not just state your real purpose without all this pretension?" Fire Phoenix laid bare the hidden intent in Xiaolong’s first words.
"I praised you a bit, and in return, you should also complint , isn’t it? Saying such things lacks any aning." Xiaolong chuckled as he said, "Although we haven’t t before, we’ve beco quite familiar with each other, so I won’t beat around the bush. I have a purpose coming here, and I suspect you’ve already guessed a bit, haven’t you?"
Fire Phoenix used to be one of the Terminator’s shadows, known by no one, like a Ghost lurking in the darkness.
Yet for so major countries, the two shadows of the Terminator are not a secret.
Fire Phoenix and Xiaolong were both intelligent people, thus they had nothing to worry about and went straight to the point without any idle talk.
"Soone as capable as him couldn’t hide from under your noses; like a dragon, even when hidden, can’t help but reveal so traces. You could guess his identity, or might have already confird it explicitly. I’m not surprised at all." Fire Phoenix said with a peculiar smile, naturally understanding that Xiaolong’s visit was aid at Ye Fan.
She also knew that her whereabouts couldn’t escape the Huaxia intelligence service unless she changed her hiding place; otherwise, she would be discovered sooner or later. On this matter, she didn’t dwell but was rather intrigued as she said, "In the Underworld, there’s been news that before he vanished, he released a notice warning the world not to search for him lest an inevitable doom befalls them. Apparently, you showed contempt for this warning by coming to . You’re rely seeking how to make him work for you, even if only to assist. It’s that simple. Yet, are you not afraid of it all being in vain and causing trouble for yourselves instead?"
"You’ve seen through my origins and intentions." Xiaolong nodded slightly, then said, "I hope you can provide us with so intelligence. In return, I won’t interfere with your affairs or make things difficult for you, and I can even offer you advantageous conditions. What do you think?"
"Such tempting terms, I must say even I’m a little moved. But do you think I will help you?" Fire Phoenix chuckled lightly.
"It poses no harm to you and even offers advantages. I cannot think of any reason for you to refuse," Xiaolong declared confidently. "I am here with sincere intentions, and I hope you can feel that."
