Hu Zhengwei bribed people from Dahe, Zhao Baijing brought ng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei to the mortuary where Matsushma Kaede and Okazaki Yokawa's corpses were placed.
"Zhengwei, transport their bodies to a nearby hospital for scans, give
the films, I mainly want to see the injured areas, and check if there are any issues with their skeletal structures."
After observing the corpses of Okazaki Yokawa and Matsushma Kaede, Zhao Baijing couldn't find the specific problem because the corpses were already frozen stiff, but he still felt that Matsushma Kaede's injuries seed quite unusual.
That night, Hu Zhengwei delivered the reports of the scans and autopsy of Matsushma Kaede and Okazaki Yokawa to Zhao Baijing.
Upon seeing the examination reports of Matsushma Kaede and Okazaki Yokawa, Zhao Baijing's eyes widened.
"Hiss... Matsushma Kaede's internal organs are severely damaged! This must have been caused by True Qi impact!"
Zhao Baijing's brow furrowed.
Next to him, ng Kuang asked in confusion, "Master, are you saying that Matsushma Kaede was killed by soone with True Qi as a weapon?"
"Precisely, it must have been an immortality cultivator, and not a low-level one!"
Zhao Baijing repeatedly analyzed the autopsy report, sneering, "Both of them almost have no external wounds, but their muscles and internal organs are severely damaged... This is the work of a cultivation expert who likely killed them within two or three moves!"
Zhao Baijing's analysis left ng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei bewildered.
The two looked at each other in confusion, "No, Qin Tian definitely doesn't have the capability to assassinate with that kind of skill."
ng Kuang said, "I'm familiar with Qin Tian's strength. Master, Qin Tian is rely a Qigong practitioner like ; an immortality cultivator... him? Haha, there's no way his talent is better than mine, it's impossible!"
Zhao Baijing laid down the autopsy report, worried, "No matter what, regardless of War Dragon and Qin Tian's strengths, now is the ti for us Skull and War Dragon to cross blades."
"Back when I was the captain of the Skull rcenary Team, our relationship with Dragon Soul was extrely hostile, practically mortal enemies. Now, I imagine War Dragon and us are no better off."
"Whether or not Qin Tian destroyed Dahe, objectively speaking, the Dahe rcenary Team is now a dead na, leaving only us and War Dragon in the Asian rcenary Association, two powers clashing."
"Even if we don't act against War Dragon, I reckon past and present grudges will lead them to see us as thorns in their side and eliminate us. So it's ti for us to act."
Zhao Baijing's analysis was t with nods from ng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei.
In the Asian rcenary Association, with the near extinction of Dahe rcenary Team, it's War Dragon's domain now.
At least, War Dragon's influence occupies over sixty percent of the Asian rcenary Association.
Under such circumstances, as an established ruler, Skull can't possibly stand idly by.
"Master, preemptive action sees victory; shall we target Qin Tian first?" ng Kuang aggressively suggested, "Capture the leader first; eliminating Qin Tian would cripple War Dragon, leaving them absolutely unable to stand!"
Hu Zhengwei agreed, "Yes, War Dragon's other mbers are manageable; Captain ng can take them on. It's Qin Tian who's a little formidable with his martial arts and extrely cunning; we must eliminate him first."
"How to eliminate him?"
Zhao Baijing directly questioned, which rendered ng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei speechless for a mont.
ng Kuang pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "Master, this Qin Tian... his strength might be comparable to mine, and the chances of
killing him are only fifty to sixty percent, not guaranteed, so..."
"So, it still requires
to step in, or call for reinforcents from headquarters?"
Zhao Baijing smirked coldly, causing both ng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei to lower their heads.
Following the recent mutual damage between Skull's Asian branch and Dahe, although Skull has been recruiting continuously, its strength has undoubtedly weakened. With the current strength, dealing with War Dragon and Qin Tian indeed poses a challenge.
Thus, what ng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei thought was, as Zhao Baijing suggested, to request external support.
"Alright, I'll discuss with headquarters and have them deploy a few top-grade experts; if that doesn't work, I'll have to intervene myself."
Zhao Baijing pondered, and to safeguard Skull's dominating status in Asia, he decided to apply for reinforcents from headquarters.
...
"Boss, the Asian rcenary Association is holding an ergency eting; you need to co back and take charge. With both you and Old Zhou absent, and
being a newbie in the Asian rcenary Association, not knowing everyone yet, I definitely won't be able to hold the fort."
Qin Tian received a call from Wild Boar urgently while cultivating in the deep mountains of Beijing for less than a week.
"What's the matter that requires my return?"
At this mont, Qin Tian was on the verge of a breakthrough; give him two more days, and with the aid of spiritual flowers and grass, he would definitely enter the Qi Refining Middle Stage.
To his surprise, at this crucial mont, the Asian rcenary Association called for an urgent eting.
"Dahe is withdrawing from the Asian rcenary Association, and there's a lack of a committee mber, so we need to discuss a replacent list. This matter is sowhat urgent, but I think it's an opportunity for our Asian rcenary Association, so when other committee mbers suggested the ergency eting, I agreed," said Wild Boar.
"This is indeed important. Alright, I'll return for a while; when is the eting?"
Qin Tian thought for a mont and imdiately made a decision.
"The day after tomorrow."
"Alright. Make proper arrangents and be prepared to guard against any small-scale actions from Skull. Keep in touch with
at all tis; I'll book a flight to Bangkok."
Qin Tian packed his bags and directly returned to Beijing, flying to Bangkok that very noon.
Wild Boar picked him up at the airport and explained the ins and outs of the situation to Qin Tian.
Okazaki Yokawa's tragic death prompted Dahe to withdraw from the Asian rcenary Association and return to Japan. This was within Qin Tian's expectations.
Additionally, Qin Tian heard from Wild Boar about Skull's plans.
Skull aid to directly eliminate the vacancy for a committee mber, which ans they wanted the committee to be composed of only four teams. This way, Skull could at least counterbalance Qin Tian in committee etings, creating a five-five situation with Qin Tian.
As long as it's equal, Skull can suppress Qin Tian.
"Haha, they're playing a pretty good hand here; Dahe is gone, and now Skull finally stands up to confront us?"
Wearing sunglasses, Qin Tian showed a hint of sinister grin at the corner of his mouth, "Very well, my Dragon Soul comrades have awaited this day for many years!"
