"Mourning Bell Number Three, this mission failure is your full responsibility!"
Cheng Kun looked at the man wearing the golden mask and said coldly.
"Hmph, is it entirely my fault? It was you all who were eager to show off to old Charles, and the intelligence was inaccurate.
Xiao Chen might be crippled, but he had experts protecting him, causing us to lose many soldiers."
Mourning Bell Number Three said coldly.
"Are you questioning the King's decision?"
Cheng Kun said coldly.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Mourning Bell Number Three quickly said, "I accept my punishment for the mission failure."
"Alright, it's not all your fault; no one expected Dragon Country to send such experts to protect Xiao Chen.
The waters in Dragon Country run deep."
Cheng Kun furrowed his brows and said, "However, we're somewhat lucky; although we didn't get the drugs and formula from Xiao Chen, we acquired it through other means."
"Really!"
Mourning Bell Number Three said in surprise.
"Yes, we utilized an undercover agent placed inside the Divine Dragon Guard to obtain a medical pill for us. Although we couldn't get the formula, with Beihai Country's technology, it shouldn't take long to crack it."
Cheng Kun nodded and said, "The Hades Association never relies on just one method to get things done. I bet the people in Dragon Country never saw this coming."
Through the Sky Eye Capture System, Xiao Chen could clearly see the shapes of their mouths and determine what they were saying.
His expression turned grim, and he immediately said to the Commander of the Divine Dragon Guard beside him, "Go investigate immediately; this should be easy to find. Once found, do not alert anyone—just monitor. Once our plan is fully implemented, then proceed with arrest. Let's let this traitor live a few days longer."
"Mr. War God King, aren't we going to take action and wipe out these guys?"
The Commander of the Divine Dragon Guard asked.
"Of course we will, but not now. They are still useful to us. If we scare them off, we might not get any information anymore.
We can learn a lot of information we want through them now.
But be cautious, they are a pack of wolves; we must keep a close watch and not be bitten by them."
Xiao Chen considered for a moment.
It's easy to take down this stronghold, but then we might lose the trail again.
Let's keep them for now, monitor every attendee today to ensure immediate arrests when the time comes.
On the other side, the Hades Association members continue their meeting.
With the drug, their plan is considered successful.
"Isn't the King back yet?"
Mourning Bell Number Three asked.
"Duke Charles is planning a major scheme to eliminate that War God King, so the King is coordinating this matter.
This time we're not playing tricks, but an open plot.
Forcing Dragon Country's War God King into our trap."
Cheng Kun sneered, "Alright, today's matters must be kept secret. You still need to follow the original plans and provide wealth for our organization.
The Beiqi Ancient Clan has now joined the world.
You all need to step up your efforts.
Some of the top Aristocratic Clans we used to control have now all cut off contact, and we're facing financial problems.
This is very disadvantageous for us."
"What is the Beiqi Ancient Clan anyway, just the weakest branch among the Ancient Clans; we're stronger than them."
One of the people wearing a golden mask sneered.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown. It seems the Ancient Clan and the Hades Association have inseparable close ties.
"It's good to have confidence, let's adjourn. Be careful when you leave; don't get tailed."
Cheng Kun instructed.
They have cleared an area of ten miles, so exposure is unlikely, but Hades Association members are relatively cautious; they want to be foolproof.
But they would never think, Dragon Country has deployed the Sky Eye System to monitor their every move.
There's nowhere they can hide.
"Mourning Bell Number Three, come with me to deliver the drugs. Duke Charles' envoy has arrived.
Remember, control your temper, don't reveal your true thoughts easily.
Although I also dislike that foreigner, our organization must rely on him for now."
Cheng Kun reminded.
After everyone left, they prepared to exchange the drugs with Duke Charles' envoy.
On the other side, Xiao Chen got up and looked at the Commander of the Divine Dragon Guard beside him, "You keep an eye here and stay in contact with me at all times.
That medical pill took us three years to develop and must not fall into others' hands.
Even destroying it is unacceptable.
I need to add something to that pill."
With that, he left.
This time, the accidental loss of the medical pill was due to a problem within the Divine Dragon Guard.
This also showed the terror of the Hades Association.
They could even bribe people from the Divine Dragon Guard.
The defection of the former Deputy Commander of the Divine Dragon Guard was a good lesson.
Xiao Chen quickly arrived at Hades Association's stronghold.
Then hid in the dark, waiting.
At this moment, the location of the pill was unclear; he had to act during the exchange between them and the envoy.
No one else could do this, but he could.
This is why he personally took on this mission.
While waiting for Duke Charles' envoy, Cheng Kun and Mourning Bell Number Three chatted.
"Cheng Kun, do you think our King has any deep-seated hatred with Dragon Country, why target them so severely?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, some things are better left unknown to you."
Cheng Kun said coldly, "But honestly, I don't know either, how can we possibly understand the King's thoughts, maybe it's real hatred.
Or maybe there is no hatred at all; perhaps it's merely a desire to take over Dragon Country.
I've heard the King is supposedly a member of the last dynasty's royal family."
"Impossible, the last dynasty has been extinct for nearly a hundred years.
Even if the King was just born then, he should be an old man by now; why does the King I see, though I can't see the face, seem only like thirty or forty years old."
Mourning Bell Number Three said.
"What do you know, the King is no longer an ordinary person like us; he's transcended the King's realm.
He has long surpassed one hundred years old in actual age."
Cheng Kun said.
"Regardless of the King's purpose, at least the idea of destroying Dragon Country aligns with ours. I once just sent a confidential document to America and was captured, ignoring all my past achievements.
Therefore, I will take revenge, revenge on Dragon Country."
Cheng Kun said viciously.
"Your real name isn't Cheng Kun, is it?"
Mourning Bell Number Three said.
"You don't need to probe, what about your situation?"
Cheng Kun asked.
"I'm not like you; I want to use the Hades Association's power to seek revenge. My family clan was destroyed by that Xiao Chen, and I always want to destroy Xiao Chen, and it was the King who gave me strength."
Mourning Bell Number Three said sinisterly.
"Heh, it seems everyone is gathered together for different reasons.
But we all share a common goal."
