To distance himself from the relationship, the boss of Black Blade felt that his words were no longer sufficient.

Listening to his explanation, Xu Fan snorted and said, "Don't worry, I'm targeting that guy. I don't want to deal with these messes of Black Blade."

"Now, you'd better tell me everything about that guy."

"This..."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's request, the other party seemed embarrassed, cracked a smile, and then explained, "It's a bit shameful to say, but that guy is very secretive. We don't have any information on him."

"Is that so..."

Xu Fan frowned, discerning that Black Blade probably wasn't deceiving him.

"Hehe, but I know who else can handle this business apart from us."

Just as he was about to hang up, Black Blade suddenly said this, causing Xu Fan to raise an eyebrow and ask, "Who?"

"Hehe..."

At that moment, the boss of Black Blade laughed and said, "Well, I can't just give you this information for free, can I? How about this, for 10 million, I'll tell you the other party's information."

"How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but snort. Black Blade was Black Blade, always ready to extort and blackmail.

Now they dare to extort me?

"Fine, 10 million it is. I'll give it to you."

Xu Fan agreed without hesitation. The boss of Black Blade on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel delighted, thinking that the boss of White Crescent wouldn't agree.

"Hehe, it seems this person is quite important to you, huh? So how about the money?"

The boss of Black Blade asked somewhat greedily. Xu Fan snorted coldly and asked, "I can give you the money, but I wonder if you guys will still be alive to spend it."

"This..."

As soon as Xu Fan spoke those words, the boss of Black Blade instantly couldn't laugh anymore.

Blackmailing Xu Fan, that idea was purely wishful thinking on his part.

Thinking of the reputation that Xu Fan had built internationally with White Crescent over the years, a sense of caution surged in his heart. The boss of Black Blade sighed and said, "Forget it, consider this information a free gift from Black Blade."

Xu Fan laughed and said, "Should I thank you for that?"

"That, that's not necessary..."

The boss of Black Blade forced a laugh and said, "Let's... let's focus on the matter at hand. I don't know if you've ever heard of Monster Flame?"

"No..."

Xu Fan shook his head. Having left White Crescent for a while, Monster Flame must be a new organization that had risen.

The boss of Black Blade chuckled, then said, "Monster Flame has only started to emerge recently, but their strength is quite formidable, yes, they are our competitors."

"I suspect that if that guy hasn't cooperated with us, he's likely to go to Monster Flame. Those people from Monster Flame are even more desperate than us at Black Blade, and I believe they would agree to that guy's terms."

"If you find Monster Flame, you should be able to find the people they've kidnapped, and since Monster Flame is working with that guy, I think you can also find clues about that guy from them."

After saying this, the boss of Black Blade chuckled and said, "There you go, I've told you everything I know, no need to thank me."

"Hmph."

Xu Fan snorted coldly, fully aware of Black Blade's real motives.

After all, Black Blade and Monster Flame are competitors, and there are conflicts of interests between the two organizations, naturally making them incompatible.

The reason he told himself about Monster Flame was simply because he wanted to use him as a tool to eliminate Monster Flame.

However, at this moment, Xu Fan could only be that tool.

Currently, with Professor Sun in the hands of Monster Flame, he must meet with Monster Flame.

Upon learning the news about Monster Flame, Xu Fan was not in the mood to talk more with the people from Black Blades and simply hung up the phone.

Soon, Azure Dragon called him.

"Boss, have you spoken with the people from Black Blades?"

Azure Dragon couldn't help but be curious if Xu Fan's contact with Black Blades meant that something had happened.

Xu Fan exhaled and said, "Nothing much, my partner has been kidnapped, so I wanted to see if it was Black Blades' doing. I have now confirmed that it wasn't them."

"About Black Blades, boss, why don't we just eliminate them?"

Azure Dragon also harbored considerable resentment towards Black Blades. Xu Fan shook his head and said, "We don't need to bother with them. Azure Dragon, help me look into Monster Flame's information."

"Monster Flame?"

Azure Dragon quickly asked, "Boss, the one who kidnapped your partner, was it Monster Flame?"

"Yeah, Black Blades told me so, and I reckon they're probably right."

"Boss, if it is Monster Flame, then this could be pretty tricky…"

Xu Fan furrowed his brows, Azure Dragon seemed to be quite wary of this Monster Flame…

"What's the matter? Is this Monster Flame organization super formidable?"

"Boss, it's not that they are formidable…"

Following that, Azure Dragon explained.

"Monster Flame is a newly emerging organization in Northern Europe, operating in the Underground World just like Black Blades. As the saying goes, 'two tigers cannot share one mountain,' so you can imagine, Black Blades naturally cannot tolerate Monster Flame surviving in this world. A few months ago, Black Blades launched an attack on Monster Flame."

"However, Black Blades underestimated Monster Flame's strength. All of Monster Flame's members are skilled fighters with very advanced weaponry, which is formidable already, but what is most powerful is not their weaponry, but their base."

"Oh? How so?" Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

Azure Dragon sighed and said, "Monster Flame's base is located at the deepest part of Gleite Snow Mountain in Norway. The area is covered by heavy snow all year round, making it extremely difficult to even enter the mountains. The sole narrow path has been heavily fortified by Monster Flame…"

"With this natural barrier, those from Black Blades who attacked head-on were entirely crushed by Monster Flame. As for aerial attacks, three helicopters didn't even manage to get close to Monster Flame's base before being exposed and brought down straight by three RPG hits."

Speaking up to this point, Azure Dragon couldn't help but remark, "In this world, there's nothing an RPG can't settle. Since Black Blades took three hits, they no longer dare to provoke Monster Flame lightly."

"Boss, I suggest you drop the idea of going after Monster Flame. If those guys are holed up in the snow mountains, it's impossible for us to break through…"

Launching a major assault on Monster Flame was nearly impossible.

One person facing many heavily armed fighters of Monster Flame was undoubtedly akin to suicide.

Azure Dragon didn't want to see his own boss, for the sake of a partner, end up buried in the Great Snow Mountain…

Xu Fan remained silent for a while before he spoke.

"Azure Dragon, if what you say is true, indeed, the base of Monster Flame seems difficult to handle. If a large force were to attack, it would indeed be a suicide mission."

Azure Dragon was relieved to hear this; his greatest fear was his boss acting rashly and marching to his death.

Azure Dragon said, "Boss, it's good you understand. Leave this matter to me. When Big Sister comes back, I will discuss with her and see if we can talk to the people from Monster Flame to release your partner."

"Impossible."
