"Sakura Squad, a native organization in Japan, is documented in the Yanhuang Soul records as an assassin organization, and almost all of its members are female. They primarily focus on stealth kills and assassinations. They are not active in the mainland of Huaxia, with records of appearances not exceeding ten times in the past twenty years."

This was the information Xiaofan received through Li Kuo on his way back.

Just a preliminary understanding, Xiaofan had already fully understood who was behind the Red Butterfly.

It's obviously not the Sakura Squad, but it's definitely someone who can command the Sakura Squad, and to simultaneously control so many large organizations, it's probably not a person, but a country.

Xiaofan finally understood why David didn't want to owe favors to the Red Butterfly when he attempted to assassinate his uncle; it was because he didn't want to owe Japan a favor.

However, the actions taken by Japan were completely denied, even though it was clear that they were behind the Red Butterfly, without evidence there was no way to bring it up.

At this point, Xiaofan still needed to focus on eradicating the tumor that was the Red Butterfly.

"Killed?"

"Killed."

Upon returning home, Li San and the others anxiously came over when they saw Xiaofan return.

"No way, you could really do it to such a pretty girl?" Li San said regretfully.

"A heart as venomous as a snake or scorpion. She was absorbing men's Essence to increase her power. You still want to get involved with her? Not afraid of being drained dry?" Xiaofan said as he quickly headed upstairs.

He grabbed some fresh clothes and walked into the bathroom.

This woman came as soon as she showed up, without waiting for Xiaofan to refuse.

Wash clean, must wash clean. For the first time, our Ye Xiaofan felt that a woman could be this filthy. Are these Japanese women really as unscrupulous as the female leads in those action movies?

Another woman of a similar age to Feifei was a thousand, ten thousand times better than that woman. Damn, she even swallowed it. Wash, wash vigorously.

That night, Zhu Fan received the news of Tanaka Yoshiko's death. He was somewhat surprised by this news as he only sent Xiaofan to retrieve the shares, but he ended up killing her.

But it was done quite well, creating a huge explosion to destroy the body completely, leaving no trace back to himself.

Even if it was traced back, so what? Everyone was already aware in their hearts. Now Zhu Fan just had to wait for the shares to return to his hands so this year's dividends would be all his. Replenishing assassins would not be a problem at all.

Even if the other party knew it was Zhu Fan behind it, they wouldn't dare to confront him directly, because ultimately, the Red Butterfly was still under Zhu Fan's control. Everything was considered for profit; no one would break this layer of paper.

Therefore, Zhu Fan was happy. With Tanaka Yoshiko dead, no one could keep an eye on him. Sending Black Mantis was definitively a brilliant decision.

Of course, the happiest one was not Zhu Fan, but Tanaka Yoshiko's husband, Liang Yanlong.

After Tanaka Yoshiko's death, as her lawful husband, Liang Yanlong took control of all her assets, and the shares of Dongwu were finally legitimately his.

Of course, a week after getting them, he transferred these shares to Xiaofan's name.

Did Xiaofan threaten Liang Yanlong into submission within that week? No, no, no, Liang Yanlong gave them completely willingly because during previous discussions Xiaofan had suggested, "If Tanaka Yoshiko died, wouldn't her money be all yours?"

This sentence was the trigger for the whole incident.

Liang Yanlong thought for a moment after Xiaofan said that and asked, "What do you want?"

Xiaofan's answer was, of course, the shares of Dongwu.

So, at the moment of Tanaka Yoshiko's death, those shares were practically in hand.

"Starting today, you are the Hall Master of our organization's twelfth hall, but although you are now a hall master, I don't have enough personnel to assign new people to you, so..."

"Isn't that the same as not being promoted?" Xiaofan pouted, they said they'd give him power, but still, he was left as a figurehead?

"No, no, no, it's not the same. A hall master earns much more than before," Zhu Fan said with a smile.

"Do you think I still need money now?"

"When will you let me go?"

"A smart person wouldn't keep asking questions without answers."

"Spending this money doesn't feel right."

"Just spend it, once it's gone, I'll give you more, ask for whatever amount you want. Tonight, go check out your new territory." After saying this, Zhu Fan got up and left the office.

Xiaofan didn't dwell on the topic any longer; he wasn't sincerely trying to leave anyway. At this critical juncture, how could he just walk away?

The so-called new territory was just guarding a warehouse, and with members of the Eleventh Hall at that.

What kind of deal is that? Regularly can't accept tasks on the Assassin Network as he pleases, and has to guard a warehouse here? What exactly is Zhu Fan thinking?

"Boss, why did you put Black Mantis in Warehouse 7, he's clearly a very talented individual, leaving him there is like shelving him," Uncle Zhong came to inquire after learning about it.

"Why rush? In the ring, he can defeat Wu Long; in assassination, he can rival Tanaka Yoshiko. How could I put such a talent in an insignificant place? But, before giving him power, I need to test him one more time."

"A test? Boss, don't you trust him yet? Look at what he's done, each task is flawlessly accomplished?"

"Uncle Zhong, I don't doubt his excellence, in fact, his excellence makes me envious. Of course, the more competent my people are, the better it is for me. However, I can't bring myself to trust him fully. Everything seems too coincidental. Shortly after arriving, the East Gate was completely wiped out, plus he's so strong..."

"If he were an undercover agent, we would have been exposed long ago," Uncle Zhong said calmly.

"What good would it do to have eyes on us? For an undercover agent to be successful, they need to play their most important role. I placed the Soul of Slaughter into the Yanhuang Soul for that purpose. If Black Mantis were also an undercover agent, then he'd surely be waiting for a chance to take me down in one move."

"Since you're so uneasy about him, why not just release him or even kill him for peace of mind?" Uncle Zhong stuck to his most conservative viewpoint.

"Kill him? Release him? I fear I might be too paranoid. A talent like Black Mantis could easily become a chief officer or even my right-hand man without difficulty. Let's see if he can withstand this final test." Zhu Fan said, showing a mischievous smile.
