The night was deep and quiet.
When Hino Hiroshi stepped out of the nightclub,
he glanced sideways at the corner on the right.
The eyes there hastily vanished into the vast night.
Yet, he revealed a slight smile.
Pulling open the car door, he sat inside.
"How did things go?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded within the car.
It ca from the back seat.
And this voice was evidently modified by a voice changer.
"Everything went as you expected, I was closely monitored."
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Hino Hiroshi did not turn around, only looking through the rearview mirror at the dark back seat.
The person wore a black trench coat, along with sunglasses and a mask.
A black top hat completely covered his face.
So, even at such close distance, it was still impossible to see his face clearly.
"Did you make contact with Xu Shiyong?"
The other party continued to ask coldly.
"I made contact, but he made a demand. He wanted to dispose of a guy nad Su Delong, and I agreed,"
Hino Hiroshi briefly recounted the recent events.
"This guy is very scheming, he absolutely won’t trust anyone so easily, so you need to handle this cleanly."
The voice from the back seat remained cold, "But don’t forget, he has the backing of ’Dragon’s Teeth’, and the person he wants to deal with must also be a mber of ’Dragon’s Teeth’. Once you actually move, ’Dragon’s Teeth’ certainly won’t let this go, so you must asure this carefully."
"So, what do you think I should do?"
Hino Hiroshi was looking at the rearview mirror,
but the tight wrapping made it impossible for him to discern who it was.
Let alone try to capture any hints through their subtle movents.
"No pain, no gain. The person needs to be taken down, but the wrath of ’Dragon’s Teeth’ must also be appeased."
The mysterious person’s words made Hino Hiroshi imdiately understand.
"You an, set up a fall guy to do it?"
"Xu Shiyong’s identity, as well as his position within ’Dragon’s Teeth’, are enough to access more sensitive information. This move definitely won’t be a loss for you, but be sure not to use a fake replacent, after all, the capabilities of ’Dragon’s Teeth’ are no child’s play."
The mysterious person’s reminder made Hino Hiroshi involuntarily clench his fist.
That ant, he had to sacrifice soone.
"Aren’t you the inside man for ’Red Rose’? Don’t you have the chance to access these core secrets? Why must you involve Xu Shiyong?"
"Because I can’t expose myself, don’t forget, the people of ’Dragon’s Teeth’ are definitely not fools. Once I leak core information, I will definitely be discovered, so he is my best scapegoat, and, getting hold of Xu Shiyong is beneficial for you, harmless at worst. After all, if it is known that soone from inside ’Dragon’s Teeth’ hired an assassin, no matter how deep his background, he can’t escape punishnt, so bringing him on board is the best bait."
The mysterious person naturally saw the distressed look on Hino Hiroshi’s face: "Of course, if you feel that this matter is too costly, we can call off the operation, but I will definitely not contact you again, nor will you get any core information about ’Dragon’s Teeth’."
"I understand, I’ll take care of it."
Hino Hiroshi naturally could not terminate the operation.
Sacrificing a confidant could change the entire situation.
This was definitely a profitable move.
"This is the attitude a collaborator should have. To achieve great things, one absolutely must not be sentintal. I believe you can do it, so I’ll be waiting for your good news," he said.
The mysterious person looked out the car window.
Everything was proceeding according to his plan.
"I have a rather presumptuous question. I wonder if you could answer it for ?"
Hino Hiroshi looked at the mysterious person in the rearview mirror, "I recall that Longya’s qualification screenings are extrely strict. The slightest doubt would definitely prevent entry into Longya. From what you’ve said, I can guess that you must also be from Longya. Could you give a reasonable explanation, so I can believe that you really are on the sa side as ?"
"Are you asking whether soone who could pass Longya’s vetting, being undoubtedly loyal, would still betray Longya’s intelligence?"
The mysterious person instantly understood what Hino Hiroshi ant.
"Exactly, it is indeed so. I need to ensure you are truly fit to stand with . Otherwise, I cannot trust any of your information. I believe you can understand my concerns," he said.
Hino Hiroshi didn’t deny it.
He absolutely wouldn’t associate with soone he doubted.
"Rest assured, I am not on your side; likewise, I’m also not on Red Rose’s side. Moreover, I will never be on the sa front as you. To be even more direct, I am your opposition. You can call an enemy, and if there ever cos a day where bayonets turn red, I will be your most fearso enemy. This is sothing Red Rose has always been sure of," he said.
The mysterious person’s answer left Hino Hiroshi stunned.
"This is the first ti I’ve heard such a ludicrous excuse, but it feels very authentic. It must be your true inner thoughts," he said.
"Of course. Deep down, I am very aware of your mindset. After all, isn’t it all just scheming for the sake of my beautiful land? So naturally, we are enemies. We rely have a temporary common goal — you to annex land and I to use your weapons to awaken my countryn, to let them know that only by annihilating you utterly can we secure everlasting peace," the mysterious person said.
His emotions clearly intensified as he spoke.
Hearing this, Hino Hiroshi furrowed his brows.
"Indeed, you are also a war fanatic. You wish for this war to beco as extensive as possible, extensive enough to drench the entire world in blood, don’t you?" he said.
"Exactly, so now you know why I am your nightmare-level enemy. However, you have no other choice but to collaborate with , because your proudly touted Blood Moon plan has long been seen through by Longya. Even if you have a trump card, Longya has an assured victory too, so my intelligence is your only chance at victory. If you don’t cherish it, the consequences will be more than you can bear," he said.
The mysterious person knocked on the car window, "Slow down after the turn, our conversation should end here."
"Okay."
Hino Hiroshi pressed the brake, and the mysterious person imdiately opened the car door and swiftly walked into an alley.
With his disappearance, everything seed as if it had never happened.
"This person, his ticulous mind is infuriating," Hino Hiroshi said.
He frowned and scanned the surrounding surveillance system.
Indeed, this was a surveillance blind spot. Disembarking here, he would definitely not be discovered.
Thus, tonight, no one would know of his appearance.
Such a terrifying enemy indeed made one’s spine chill.
But it was just as he had said, Hino Hiroshi had no rights to refuse.
Because he desperately needed this insider.
So he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Junior brother, it’s your turn to serve the Empire!"
