Chapter 1286 - 1286: Instigate

When Zheng-Fu made up his mind, he disguised himself and changed his energy aura to be the same as the assassin chief he had captured and searched for information. From the memories he had obtained, he knew who the man was and what his position was in the force.

"I'm Lou-Seng, Thirteenth Unit Chief. Ahem!"

Zheng-Fu tried to change his voice to sound as similar to Lou-Seng as possible. It did not take him long to imitate that man's voice, and he completely became Lou-Seng, the Thirteenth Unit Assassin Chief.

Creak!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Unit Chief?!!

"Didn't you go out on a mission, sir? Why did you…"

How presumptuous!

"Since when did you dare ask about my movements?!"

Oops!

"Forgive us. We were wrong, sir, Unit Chief!"

Huh!

"This time, I'll let it go. But don't let it happen again, understand?!"

"Understood, sir, Unit Chief!"

Zheng-Fu knew that Lou-Seng was a hot-tempered person and did not care about anyone of lower or equal rank. So, to make it look real, Zheng-Fu had to do everything the same. Then he walked away without caring about what those assassins thought.

"Unit Chief Lou-Seng is still as hot-tempered as ever. I wonder if he drank some bear bile to get this worked up?"

"Talking too much! Do you want to die?! If you want to die, then die alone. Don't drag me into this. You know that if he heard, he wouldn't let us go!"

"I know, but I can't help but say this. By the way, when did he come back? What about the others who went with him?"

"How would I know? I have been on duty with you since morning."

Hmm, right!

His subordinates were very curious about Lou-Seng's appearance in the room without anyone knowing when he returned. They remembered that Lou-Seng went out on a mission with dozens of other people in the unit, almost the entire thirteenth unit. But they did not see the others return.

'Fortunately, only the people in the unit and the higher-ups knew about Lou-Seng's mission. Otherwise, I would have to answer everyone's questions. That would expose my identity even faster. I have to be more careful.'

In addition to the two people in the unit that Zheng-Fu met, he also met other people in the organization. Fortunately, those people did not ask him anything but only saluted him because he had a higher position. From Lou-Seng's memory, each unit's mission was only known to the unit and the higher-ups who gave orders to each unit.

"First, I have to go to the mission reporting area. By the way, where is it?"

Thirteenth Unit Chief?!

Hah?!

At that moment, a voice called out to him from behind. Zheng-Fu immediately turned around to avoid being suspicious.

"Seventh Unit Chief, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man who called Zheng-Fu was the chief of the Seventh Unit, Lou-Seng's rival. Not only did the two of them not get along, but this man liked to cause trouble for Lou-Seng.

"It's nothing. I'm just surprised to see you back. And where are your team's subordinates? Why didn't they come back? Did the mission fail? Oh! I'm sorry, I said something nonsensical. How could someone like Thirteenth Unit Chief make a mistake? Right?"

Although the Seventh Unit Chief was joking, his tone was serious and did not sound like a joke. Moreover, his gaze was like that of a poisonous snake. If one wasn't careful, they might end up bitten and poisoned to death.

"Thank you, Seventh Unit Chief, for worrying about me. But a person like me never makes a mistake. You're the one who should be careful. Life is uncertain. You might go out on a mission and never come back!"

You!

The Seventh Unit Chief's face went numb when he heard Zheng-Fu's hurtful words. The Thirteenth Unit Chief seemed to mean well, but in reality, he was cursing him to his face.

"Good at talking! Don't fall; otherwise, I'll stomp on you until you can't stand up again. Just wait and see! Huh!"

After the Seventh Unit Chief finished speaking, he immediately walked away in dissatisfaction. But no matter what his mood was, he could not do anything to Zheng-Fu. This secret force had a rule that forbade fighting within the area. If anyone wanted to fight, they had to do it outside, as long as it didn't affect the force's mission.

Sigh!

After Zheng-Fu separated from the Seventh Unit Chief, he headed to the mission hall to report that something had gone wrong with Lou-Seng's mission. When the force received the report from the fake Lou-Seng, they immediately contacted other units on similar missions to check if there was anything wrong. Nonetheless, they were unable to contact those units at all.

Summon all Unit Chiefs who are here now!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Suddenly, an urgent call for all Unit Chiefs rang out.

In the large conference room...

When all the Unit Chiefs still in the force's area heard the call to meet, they immediately rushed to the conference hall. At that time, there were fifteen Unit Chiefs there, including Zheng-Fu. The force had a total of nineteen units, five of which were currently out on missions. And those five units were the ones hired by the Men Clan, including Lou-Seng's unit.

However, fifteen out of the nineteen Unit Chiefs were in the force area even though five of them went out on a mission because the fake Lou-Seng had returned, leaving the other four still absent. And the reason they had not returned was that Zheng-Fu had used some special spell to temporarily block the communication and dimension gap, so the force was unable to contact the four Unit Chiefs.

"What happened? Who can tell me?"

"I don't know what happened either, but it must be urgent."

"If it wasn't urgent, Big Chief wouldn't have called us to a meeting so suddenly."

That's right!

All the Unit Chiefs were very curious about what was going on. Some were about to go out on a mission, while others were busy with their affairs, so no one knew what the meeting was about.

Only Zheng-Fu knew. After he reported that the mission that Lou-Seng had been assigned was just a trap by the Men Clan, the call for a meeting was immediately sounded.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

Big Chief!!!

Master Elders!!!

Shortly after, a man wearing a black cloak covering his face walked into the meeting room with two people behind him. Among the three, the one walking in front was the current Big Chief of the force, while the other two were the First Elder and Second Elder, who were like Big Chief's left and right hands. Wherever Big Chief went, these two elders would always follow.

Sit down!

"I know you all must be wondering why you're called to an emergency meeting like this. Now, without further ado, let's get straight to the point. Thirteenth Unit Chief, please explain to the others what happened with your mission." Big Chief passed on the responsibility to Zheng-Fu to explain to the other Unit Chiefs what he had reported to the force earlier.

All right!

"I believe everyone already knows that the other four units and my unit went on a joint mission, hired by Men Clan, one of the major clans of the capital. The job we were hired for was to deal with the main heirs and business groups of other major clans who were competitors of the Men Clan. However, no one expected that it was actually a plan set up by the Men Clan to lure our force members out to deal with us!" As he spoke, Zheng-Fu tried to make a displeased expression.

"Of course, everyone is wondering why I came back alive, but the others didn't. That's because the other four Unit Chiefs sent me a message beforehand, so I was aware of it. Even though I knew and reacted in time, my unit members still didn't survive. I have to thank them; if they didn't help stall for time, I wouldn't have been able to come back and report to you."

Although Zheng-Fu's words seemed unreliable, Force had already made a preliminary investigation and found that the other four Unit Chiefs and their unit members were indeed unable to be contacted as Zheng-Fu had said.

"Big Chief, I think what Thirteenth Unit Chief said is a bit strange. Has Force contacted the other four Unit Chiefs?"

That's right!?

I think it's a bit strange!

The Seventh Unit Chief suddenly raised his hand and turned to ask Big Chief with a look of disbelief at Zheng-Fu's words. But to be precise, this Unit Chief wanted to find fault with Lou-Seng and make him be blamed and punished for his mistakes.

"We've contacted the four Unit Chiefs, but the result is that we can't contact them at all, not even their unit members," First Elder replied, because he had been ordered to investigate this matter himself.

Umm!

When the Seventh Unit Chief heard that, his face turned sullen, and he fell silent, not saying anything more.

"I understand you, Seventh Unit Chief. I know that the two of us have some conflicts, but what I said is all true. Men Clan is scheming against our force. Instead of expressing your dissatisfaction with them, you… only want to find fault with me?"

Zheng-Fu did not hate the Seventh Unit Chief, but the reason he spoke sarcastically to the man was that he wanted to cause a rift within the force.

You!

Of course, Zheng-Fu's words had a great impact on the Seventh Unit Chief, because everyone in the meeting knew that the Seventh Unit Chief was dissatisfied and often argued with Lou-Seng, and this time it must have been as Zheng-Fu said.

All right!

"I think we shouldn't rush into making a decision about this matter. After all, the Men Clan is a major clan with great power and strength. Even though our force is not afraid of the major clans, if we've to deal with them directly, we'll be at a huge disadvantage. So, First Unit Chief, Second Unit Chief, Third Unit Chief, Fourth Unit Chief, and Fifth Unit Chief, as you guys are the strongest unit, I entrust this matter to you. You can handle it as you deem appropriate. The only condition is: don't make any mistakes and don't cause unnecessary losses. Do you understand?!"

Yes, sir, Big Chief!!!

'Awesome! Is this what they call instigating people to fight each other? Hehe'
