Yanhuang Soul had already estimated King Yan's strength, including his power, speed, preferred techniques, and weapons.

But until this moment, Long Si wished vehemently to kill those who had estimated King Yan's strength. sh*t, what fancy graduates and professional analysts, utterly useless, no wonder King Yan called them useless, he was spot on.

The estimated data was entirely inconsistent with the strength King Yan displayed!

With a whoosh, he didn't even see King Yan's movements when he realized a cold dagger was already at his throat.

"What incredible speed..." Long Si was immensely shocked.

"Now do you admit it, Mr. Long Si? Oh no, should I call you Useless Four?" Lin Hai mocked, sarcasm evident in the eyes beneath the mask.

Long Si's face blushed with shame, biting his teeth, eyes clenched shut, he angrily said, "King Yan, if you want to kill, then kill, but you have no right to humiliate Yanhuang Soul!"

"Heh, a man can be killed but not insulted? Is this what you call your honor?" Lin Hai retorted.

"Hmph, you're right, a man can be killed but not insulted. I only ask that you don't bring calamity to the civilians of Huadu, what does it matter if Long Si dies? If I'm no match, in this trade, I've long disregarded life and death. Dying by the hands of the King of Assassins would be my honor."

"Heh, it seems you're not afraid of death," Lin Hai said coldly.

"What use is being afraid of death? King Yan, back in Europe, you killed Long Shier with your own hands, severed his head, why play pretentious now?" Long Si shouted angrily.

"Long Shier? If you hadn't mentioned, I almost forgot, heh."

"Hmph, I misjudged you, I initially thought you had a sense of justice. Only now do I realize, you're no different from those despicable assassins."

"Is that so? Long Si, maybe if you beg me, I might let you go," Lin Hai sneered again, pressing the dagger slightly, blood immediately seeped from Long Si's neck.

"Ask for your mercy? In your dreams! King Yan, Yanhuang Soul will avenge me, including Long Shier's vendetta, hmph."

"Heh, then die," Lin Hai said, pressing the dagger further.

Long Si faced death stoically, but his heart was filled with bleakness, it would be a lie to say he had no regrets.

"Sigh, I hope the country and organization will treat my wife and daughter kindly," Long Si thought silently.

Blood kept oozing from his neck, Long Si could feel the dagger had pierced the skin, entering the flesh.

The sensation of death was cold and ruthless.

...

After several minutes, Long Si felt his limbs grow cold, his consciousness almost slipping away, the dagger at his neck seemingly gone.

"Am I dead? Is this what death feels like?" Long Si opened his eyes, instinctively shielding them from the glaring sunlight, only to see a figure looming over him, it was the towering form of King Yan.

Long Si realized he wasn't dead and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you kill me? Or do you wish to continue humiliating me?"

Lin Hai looked at the furious Long Si, threw him a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a deep draw, squinting his eyes, inscrutable.

"Do you want to know why I killed Long Shier?" Lin Hai suddenly asked.

Without waiting for Long Si's response, Lin Hai spoke for himself: "The RX Organization, you must have heard of it. I have an irreconcilable enmity with RX. They have a presence in almost every corner of the world, and I am unwavering in my efforts to completely destroy this organization."

"In the process of my investigation, I encountered Long Shier. At first, I greatly admired him because he came from Yanhuang Soul."

"Barely in his twenties, with nothing but pale, solitary courage and naive imperfections..."

"When I heard the name Yanhuang Soul, I didn't hesitate to uncover my own mask, treating him with candor, simply because the three words 'Yanhuang Soul' belong to an organization I deeply respect."

"Sadly, I was mistaken, how ridiculous, Long Shier was actually colluding with the RX Organization in secret. Taking advantage of his freedom to operate in Europe, along with the special resources provided by Yanhuang Soul, he helped RX to engage in extensive human trafficking and drug transportation, and he even tried to inform RX of my true identity."

"Now do you understand why Long Shier had to die by my hand?"

After speaking, Lin Hai's cold, emotionless eyes stared at Long Si.

Hearing this, Long Si's eyes bulged wide like copper bells in disbelief, and he even forgot to breathe, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Long Shier, to think he was a traitor to the organization... It was beyond his wildest dreams.

"As far as I know, Long Shier also has an older brother within Yanhuang Soul, but I can't find any detailed information about that person. I believe his brother will not sit idly by and may even be in cahoots with the RX Organization," Lin Hai continued.

"Impossible, Long Shier doesn't have a brother; I'm very familiar with his records..." Mid-sentence, Long Si fell silent. Records? Those can be tampered with at will, totally unreliable.

Long Si was stunned, and the unspeakable pain in his heart made his entire body tremble.

The Yanhuang Soul organization he had always regarded as sacred might indeed hide a great betrayer within!

"King Yan, why didn't you kill me? Just to tell me these absurd lies?" Long Si angrily retorted as he glared at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai chuckled, waved his hand dismissively, flicked away the cigarette butt, and said indifferently, "Whether it's a lie or not, you can thoroughly investigate it. As for why I didn't kill you, it's because you were still begging me not to harm the people of Huadu even when facing death. That righteousness deserves my temporary stay of the executioner's hand."

"You..." Long Si's heart was extremely conflicted; he had thought King Yan was a brutal murderer, but it seemed he had been wrong from the very beginning.

"King Yan, we could collaborate. Yanhuang Soul will surely purge the traitors. I hope..." Long Si was interrupted by Lin Hai in mid-sentence.

"Long Si, Yanhuang Soul is useless, not worthy to collaborate with me."

"How dare you insult my organization."

"Heh, insult? Did I say anything wrong? Huaxia is the main base of Yanhuang Soul, so why can the RX Organization brazenly transport various new types of drugs into Huaxia without restraint?"

"If you claim not to be incompetent, then why are there still countless people of RX Organization involved in human trafficking in the remote mountainous areas of Huaxia even now?"

"If the soul of the Yanhuang land and the native soil of Huaxia is so disgraceful, what makes you think you have the qualifications to collaborate with me?"

Each word Lin Hai uttered resonated with power, the anger in his heart clear.

Long Si's face turned to the ultimate shade of shame; he had to acknowledge the facts as stated by King Yan.

"Haven't you always wanted to know who I am? Fine, I'll take off the mask and let you see."

With that, the bronze mask clanked as it hit the ground. Long Si blankly raised his head and saw that handsome countenance shining brilliantly in the harsh sunlight.
