Chapter 1122 - 1125: Dark Dragon Attacks? (Part 1)
Chapter 1122: Chapter 1125: Dark Dragon Attacks? (Part 1)
About ten minutes later, Tong Zhan, who had just returned to his room, heard a rapid knock on his door.
In such situations, unless it’s something extremely important, nobody dares to knock on his door like that.
Therefore, he wasn’t angry.
He quickly walked to the door and opened it to see his trusted subordinate, Hongwu.
"What’s going on?" His face remained calm, but there was a hint of doubt in his heart.
Could it be that Dark Dragon has come here with his people?
If not, what else could make his subordinate so urgent?
It’s worth noting that his subordinate Hongwu also has the strength of an Advanced Soldier King.
Regarding strength, on his entire yacht, Hongwu could be ranked in the top five.
"Boss, it’s Dark Dragon!" Hongwu’s face was visibly panicked.
Tong Zhan’s expression changed immediately, "Has he boarded the ship?"
If that’s the case, quite a few people on this yacht are going to die.
And now, the most critical thing is to find Dark Dragon.
With his strength, he can still maximize delaying Dark Dragon.
With the help of his benefactor, maybe they can force Dark Dragon to retreat.
Thinking of this, he didn’t wait for Hongwu to say more, quickly stating, "Where is he now? I’ll go hold him off."
"And you, go to the VIP room immediately and ask our benefactor to help."
"By then, with my benefactor and me working together, I refuse to believe we can’t force him to retreat!"
This would also minimize the losses.
As for the other assassins, naturally, other subordinates will deal with them; he wasn’t too worried.
After all, he still has a Peak Soldier King and an Advanced Soldier King under his command, with even more Intermediate and Junior Soldier Kings.
That kind of strength is definitely capable of handling Dark Dragon’s followers.
However, he was worried about those assassins recklessly killing innocent people.
So the only way is to force Dark Dragon to retreat quickly, then his group of followers will naturally withdraw.
Otherwise, he will suffer heavy losses today.
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Being part of a force stronger than the Dark Night Club, he is definitely not someone ordinary people can compare to.
The next moment, Tong Zhan asked once again, "Where are they?"
He had already walked out of the room, ready to rush over as soon as Hongwu spoke.
Hongwu wasn’t foolish and immediately realized what the boss was thinking.
He couldn’t help but have mixed feelings of laughter and tears.
However, even he found the news he just received hard to believe.
"What’s going on? Is there something else?" Tong Zhan frowned, his tone displeased, "What’s with all the hesitation today?"
"If we delay any longer, who knows how many people will die!"
This Dark Dragon person is a notorious butcher.
Especially fond of slaughtering those whose strength is weaker than his.
Furthermore, there are no less than two thousand people on this yacht of his.
Among them, five hundred are the world’s top wealthy elites.
Even though losing one or two might not affect him much, losing too many would definitely put a lot of pressure on him.
"Boss, it’s not what you’re thinking!" Hongwu quickly said, "Dark Dragon hasn’t come!"
Tong Zhan was taken aback, turning to look at Hongwu.
He noticed Hongwu showed no signs of lying.
This made him even more puzzled; if Dark Dragon hasn’t come, why was he so anxious?
"You’re not lying to me?" he asked again.
Hongwu nodded affirmatively, almost pounding his chest in assurance.
Only then did Tong Zhan completely calm down, though his expression wasn’t pleasant, a bit irritated, he said, "Come inside!"
Afterward, Hongwu closed the door, and the two sat on the sofa in the room.
"Tell me, what’s going on?" Tong Zhan gradually calmed down.
If Dark Dragon isn’t on the ship, what else could make Hongwu so anxious?
Hongwu didn’t hesitate and immediately said, "Boss, it’s also related to Dark Dragon!"
"Hmm?"
"Dark Dragon is dead!"
"Hmm..."
Tong Zhan wondered if he had misheard!
The next moment, he heard Hongwu say again, "On Mercenary Home, the person in charge of the Dark Dragon Club has announced that Dark Dragon is dead, and even shared Dark Dragon’s photo!"
"Also, the Dark Dragon Club has been renamed the Dark Night Club, and Shadow has become the new boss."
Tong Zhan, "...."
Truth be told, he still found this news somewhat fake.
As for the photos, they weren’t enough to serve as evidence.
After all, hardly anyone has seen what Dark Dragon actually looks like.
But since this news is on Mercenary Home, and it’s been released by the person in charge of the Dark Dragon Club there, the likelihood is very high.
"Who is Shadow?" he asked again.
Hongwu shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.
But he also claimed that Dark Dragon was killed by this person called Shadow.
And it was done with ease, even in a one-on-one encounter!
He even killed two of Dark Dragon’s Intermediate Soldier King subordinates.
Tong Zhan once again remained silent for a long time.
This news was quite shocking to him.
If this news is true, it indicates that the person called Shadow poses no less of a threat to him.
After all, his strength wasn’t much stronger than Dark Dragon’s.
Moreover, he couldn’t do anything to Dark Dragon; in fact, with Dark Dragon’s body technique and stealth, he’d have the upper hand in complex environments.
A while later, Tong Zhan said, "It’s highly likely that this is true!"
"Otherwise, no one would dare to say such things on Mercenary Home."
"Everyone is well aware of how vindictive and unhesitant to kill Dark Dragon is."
"So, they would avoid trouble, let alone provoke such matters, especially since the news was released by the person in charge of the Dark Dragon Club on Mercenary Home."
Hongwu nodded, he believed the same.
Still, he found it hard to believe.
He thought it was almost impossible for someone at the Peak Soldier King level to easily kill another.
Even if two or three Peak Soldier Kings teamed up against one, it would still be extremely difficult.
If the person targeted wanted to escape, the others couldn’t stop him.
What’s more, for an assassin like Dark Dragon, escape and stealth are his fortes.
"Let’s wait for more information!" Tong Zhan told Hongwu.
Without saying more, Hongwu turned and left Tong Zhan’s room.
Once he left, Tong Zhan suddenly remembered something, and his expression became quite colorful.
"Was the news just released?"
"Did it happen today?"
"This is too much of a coincidence!"
Because he remembered that a few hours before, his benefactor had gone to the Dark Dragon Club’s lair and brought back a woman.
The woman’s aura wasn’t particularly strong but wasn’t weak either.
From her demeanor and walk, she wasn’t ordinary either; she seemed familiar somehow.
There was a shadow of the Dark Dragon Club assassin in her!
