...

In that instant, his gaze froze, his heart filled with surprise and confusion, and that profound sense of disbelief…

Looking down, his subordinates were slowly approaching the body of the "Qin Fang" they had just killed, yet the real Qin Fang appeared on the cliff above and had completely seized control over him. Even if he racked his brains, he could not believe that all this happening before him could be true.

"I won't say anything, just do it…"

However, those words were meaningless, and he made no attempt to resist, but rather said calmly and indifferently... The situation had reached this point, and he knew that this operation had utterly failed.

With the skill Qin Fang had just shown, single-handedly killing over twenty of his men, and now capturing him so silently, he stood no chance of resisting.

Mercenaries and assassins alike get paid to handle tasks for their employers, and keeping secrets is a fundamental professional quality. To betray even the employer's information would mean this mercenary group was breaking the rules, and it would be completely discredited in the mercenary world.

"Really unwilling to talk?"

Qin Fang, however, didn't know and simply asked lightly, his tone relaxed and even a bit mocking.

"Hmph…"

Clearly, Qin Fang's words were of no significance. As the deputy leader of the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps, it was impossible for him to divulge organizational intelligence, not even in the face of death. To Qin Fang's words, he only responded with a cold snort.

"Since that is the case, then I will not stand on ceremony…"

The deputy leader's reaction was within Qin Fang's expectations. He didn't care much and said so, then suddenly produced a grenade in his hand and threw it down from the cliff while the deputy leader watched.

At that time, the last five mercenaries belonging to the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps were covering each other to inspect "Qin Fang's body," precisely having reached the body's location. Qin Fang's grenade was meant to fall amidst that crowd.

The deputy leader's eyes instantly fixated, and his pupils contracted involuntarily as he opened his mouth wanting to warn his subordinates, but ultimately, he was unable to make a sound…

Not because Qin Fang had stifled his voice, but because he knew very well that when Qin Fang threw that grenade, it was already too late…

Even if he warned them now, those five subordinates below wouldn't be able to escape!

Below, a five-man squad was slowly approaching "Qin Fang's body," each extremely cautious, without Qin Fang's scouting skill to check if the person was really dead, they had to observe closely…

It was this delay that allowed Qin Fang to gain control of their commander—the deputy leader—and then make his move against them.

"Fuck! A grenade…"

This grenade fell out of nowhere, and despite these mercenaries being battle-hardened, they were completely taken by surprise in the cover of the dim night.

It was only when the grenade hit the ground that someone noticed it and stared wide-eyed, instinctively yelling out, then their body reflexively moved, attempting to dive to the side.

Boom~~

Almost as soon as he spotted the grenade and shouted, it exploded with a loud boom, the violent shockwave filled with shrapnel instantly ripping apart the five-man squad…

The violent shaking once again trembled through the little hill, even Qin Fang and the deputy leader on the cliff couldn't help but tremble, while below in the small crevice, smoke and dust raged, blasting an even larger hole, with debris flying everywhere and peppering the surrounding cliff walls with small pits.

The deputy leader's shoulder twitched slightly, but in the end, he stopped, not attempting to resist, as he noticed Qin Fang's hand remained steady, and the gun had not moved.

As an accomplished sniper, he clearly understood such a reaction was essential quality for a good gunman, and obviously, his opponent Qin Fang possessed a skill no less formidable than his own.

Thus, he equally understood that facing such an adversary, he had lost all chance of resistance. The moment he made the slightest suspicious move, a bullet would instantly penetrate his head…

"Don't expect to learn any information from me, just kill me…"

His last five men had all perished in battle. The deputy leader was well aware of the potency of the grenades supplied to the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps. At such a close distance, there was no possibility of survival.

Now only he was left, still with Qin Fang's gun aimed at his head; there was no chance of escape... And he also understood that Qin Fang had not killed him yet solely because he wanted to know the mastermind behind this operation, which he would never reveal.

"As you wish…"

But this time, Qin Fang just shrugged, smiling while chambering a round and pulling the trigger, about to execute the deputy commander right then and there.

"Don't you want to know who hired us to kill you?"

This time, the deputy commander was the one surprised. Just moments ago, Qin Fang had seemed eager to find out the truth, but after merely killing a few of his men, he seemed not to care about it anymore.

"I already know who it is, so why bother asking?"

Qin Fang spoke with an air of nonchalance, "The Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps… tsk tsk, I hadn't expected even you, the deputy commander, to get personally involved. The Chen Family really is willing to spend the money, huh…"

"How could it be…"

The deputy commander's gaze froze instantly, filled with disbelief, even more astonished than when he had found Qin Fang suddenly appear behind him earlier.

"Why couldn't it be… I really have to thank you, deputy commander, otherwise I'd never have guessed who the killer was!"

Qin Fang continued, smiling, "Sorry, you're no longer of any use to me. Time for you to go on your way… don't worry, your boss will soon join you!"

Bang~~

As the deputy commander looked on in astonishment, filled with a myriad of questions, Qin Fang's gun fired, a bullet piercing straight through the deputy commander's temple and into his brain, instantly ending his life…

It wasn't that Qin Fang's heart was particularly cruel, but facing such enemies, he couldn't afford even a sliver of mercy, or else he would certainly be the one who suffered.

Qin Fang never would have imagined that the Chen Family from Ninghai, who had no significant grievance against him, had sent the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps to assassinate him – or rather, that Chen Weilian, with whom Qin Fang didn't have too many issues, had arranged the hit.

The Hanhai Group in Ninghai was a large enterprise group, and Qin Fang had had a few dealings with the Chen Family in the past, but their relationship soured due to Fan Ning's affairs, leading to their enmity.

The grudge wasn't terribly significant, yet it wasn't minor either. At least the Hanhai Group and Little Island had a mysterious connection, and almost all the spies Little Island sent were eradicated by National Security due to Qin Fang's involvement, which was indeed a significant grudge.

Moreover, Qin Fang was aware that when he single-handedly stormed the Bihai Pavilion and forcefully rescued Fan Ning from Li Rui, exposing Chen Weilian's scheming, the Hanhai Group suffered a severe blow from Li Rui. Though not crippling, the loss was substantial, and afterwards, the matter subsided into nothing.

Yet Qin Fang was shocked that for such a small matter, the Chen Family went so far as to hire the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps to chase after him... No, it would be more correct to say that the Chen Family itself was the shadowy owner behind the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps.

The ordinary mercenaries naturally wouldn't know such secret matters, but this deputy commander was part of the higher echelons of the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps, well-aware of these details.

And it was through the use of the Mind Reading Technique that Qin Fang came to learn these things…

Such mercenaries lived on the edge of the knife, bloodied every day, their will much stronger than the average person's, often surpassing even that of many soldiers. The chance of successfully using the Mind Reading Technique on them was virtually non-existent.

That's why Qin Fang had pulled the pin on the grenade right in front of him and killed off his last few men. Even the coldest of characters would lose focus for a moment in such a situation, their mindset undergoing a change...

It was this brief opportunity that Qin Fang had created and seized, gaining the information he sought.

At the same time, the deputy commander outlived his usefulness, and Qin Fang unapologetically rewarded him with a "peanut," sending him off to paradise.

"Chen Weilian, it seems we really should settle our accounts…"

Relations between Qin Fang and Chen Weilian had already been strained, and given the deep roots of the Hanhai Group plus the backing from Little Island, even Tang Cheng had remarked on the complications, which had prevented Qin Fang from acting too hastily.

But Qin Fang hadn't expected that after Chen Weilian's last failed effort, instead of taking a lesson, he intensified his efforts, this time employing a large mercenary force to pursue him. If Qin Fang didn't respond, would he still be a man?

Fan Ning had been staying overseas, unable to return home because of Chen Weilian. Qin Fang had long wanted to bring her back. This assassination attempt had given Qin Fang a brush with death, as if he had walked through The Gates of Hell, the feeling of near-instant death exceedingly unpleasant!

It was precisely in that moment that he truly understood the value of life, his deep love and longing for family and loved ones...

"Since I don't want to die, then I must eliminate all the enemies who wish me dead..."

After this ordeal, Qin Fang's mentality underwent a significant change, his gaze more determined than before, and his heart grew even firmer.
