In the many years spent in the Northern Territory, the one thing he understood most clearly was that for Long Country to truly stand tall, it had to employ forceful means.
What diplomacy? What seeking peace before war?
When dealing with enemies, the simplest way was to make them fear forever... or to ensure they could never appear in this world again.
The plane was arranged. Di Sha, it was time to meet again.
...
"Failure."
At Di Sha headquarters, the current leader of Di Sha watched the words "mission failed" and frowned deeply.
An A-class assassin team that had killed a martial arts grandmaster was dead, and an S-class assassin was gone without return.
This was unprecedented for Di Sha!
In all its years, even when facing that bane of existence, the Dragon King of the Northern Territory, he himself had personally dealt with the mission targets.
But this time, they had lost two batches of elite operatives in succession.
This not only had a significant impact on Di Sha's strength but also diminished its reputation.
Fortunately, this news had not yet been released.
"Boss."
Within Di Sha, everyone referred to the current master as "Boss."
"We've lost too much on this contract, should we continue?"
According to Di Sha's tradition, they would relentlessly send more people until the target's death; it was a fight to the death. But this time, even S-class assassins had been lost, and they needed to re-evaluate Lin Xiao.
"Halt for now."
The owner of Di Sha looked at the file in his hand, staring intently at Lin Xiao's photo, his brow furrowed. "This man... I feel a sense of familiarity. Do you have any other information on him?"
"This information is from four years ago, and the most recent. There's nothing from the intervening four years, as if he suddenly disappeared and then reappeared."
"We've used every method over these four years but obtained no relevant data."
The Boss frowned. "Something's not right. I feel like I've... seen this person before."
But for a moment, he couldn't recall where.
Even, upon seeing this person, he felt a trace of fear in his heart.
This...
He suddenly picked up another file. "That madman from the Northern Territory, do you still have his information?"
"Yes, I'll go look."
With that, his secretary hurried off to find the new files.
Soon, a file on the Dragon King of the Northern Territory was placed on the Boss's desk.
When the Boss saw this file, he froze.
That madman from the Northern Territory... although the face wasn't perfectly clear, two words were undeniably visible.
Lin Xiao.
That madman was also called Lin Xiao!
If it was just a coincidence of names, and on top of that, someone with such immense power, that would be too coincidental... meaning, this Lin Xiao was actually that madman from the Northern Territory!
Only this explanation made sense!
Someone capable of directly killing their S-class assassins... apart from that madman from the Northern Territory, he could think of no other possibility!
Just as the Boss was deep in thought, contemplating his next move, his secretary suddenly received a call. Her expression changed drastically, and she looked at the Boss, saying hurriedly, "Boss! A plane is approaching!"
"What plane?" The Boss was momentarily stunned.
"Lin Xiao is coming... by plane!"
The second sentence made the Boss's heart stop.
