Chapter 1289 - 1289: The First Plan Has Succeeded

After receiving the invitation, Zheng-Fu stalled for a while before going to meet Vice Big Chief at the Black Iron Room.

The Black Iron Room was the Vice Big Chief's private quarters. To enter the room, one had to receive an invitation. Otherwise, they might encounter tactical formations and traps that had been set up, as well as secret forces hiding in the dark corners.

At the entrance of the Black Iron Room...

Thirteenth Unit Chief!

As soon as Zheng-Fu arrived at the entrance of the room, two guards who were standing guard immediately blocked the way. Before both of them clasped their hands together to salute him. But to be precise, they were saluting Lou-Seng, whose face and figure Zheng-Fu had borrowed to impersonate.

"I'm here to see Vice Big Chief!"

"Please go inside, Unit Chief Lou. Vice Big Chief has been waiting for you for a long time."

Even though the two guards looked respectful towards Lou-Seng, their eyes were ready to fight and kill Lou-Seng at any time if Lou-Seng dared to harm Vice Big Chief, whom they both respected and loved the most, although neither of them was a match for Lou-Seng.

Thank you!

Of course, Zheng-Fu did not care about the gazes of the two guards at all. And he believed that Lou-Seng was also indifferent and did not care about their actions either. So, to be appropriate and not suspicious, he followed Lou-Seng's behavior completely.

Creeeaaak!!!

"Finally, you're here, Unit Chief Lou!"

When Zheng-Fu entered the Black Iron Room, a late middle-aged man greeted him in an extremely calm tone, but if you listened carefully, you would find that it was actually a sly tone.

"I, Thirteenth Unit Chief Lou-Seng, pay my respects to Vice Big Chief!"

Zheng-Fu knew that Lou-Seng had met this Vice Big Chief before and knew how he greeted him. So, upon hearing the other party's greeting, Zheng-Fu immediately replied.

"Take it easy, we're not in the conference room, no need to be so formal, please have a seat."

It was as Zheng-Fu had guessed. After he finished speaking, Vice Big Chief waved his hand lightly without any hesitation, and his expression relaxed before he told him to sit down in the chair provided.

Flap!

Thank you, Vice Big Chief!

"I think Unit Chief Lou is wondering why I called you here at this time. Well, in order not to waste any more time, let's get to the point. I called you here because Twelfth Unit Chief, Eleventh Unit Chief, and Fifteenth Unit Chief are on the same side as me, but right now, we can't contact them, and we don't know if they are alive or dead. But I don't think they're still alive. If they were alive, they'd have contacted us already."

"I know Vice Big Chief is suspicious that I killed them, right?"

Since Lou-Seng had a habit of speaking directly and getting to the point immediately, Zheng-Fu immediately asked the Vice Big Chief who was sitting opposite him without any hesitation or worry.

"At first, I thought so too. But with your personality, I think it's impossible. Because if that really happened, I believe that you would not be able to succeed without any obstacles."

"So, what did Vice Big Chief call me for?"

"You don't have to be so hasty. Let me finish speaking first."

Erm...

"I apologize. It just so happens that I'm a hot-tempered person, so I was so rude."

"Never mind, don't think too much!" Vice Big Chief secretly smiled inwardly when he saw that the gesture of Lou-Seng, whom he was unaware of, was a fake. Before he continued, "What I want to know is, is this all really a Men Clan plan? And can you confirm that the persons who planned to attack your unit are really from the Men Clan?" After he finished speaking, Vice Big Chief's expression immediately turned serious.

"I'm certain that they're definitely the Men Clan persons. As for the evidence to be used for verification..., I have already given it to Big Chief, so I cannot bring it to you. However, I can tell you that it's an emblem badge with the Men Clan symbol engraved on it. I'm certain that the persons who did it must be someone from the Men Clan."

Zheng-Fu did not know what this Vice Big Chief wanted to convey or what he was thinking, but to know his thoughts, Zheng-Fu had to continue acting according to his lines. Another reason why he did not rush to do anything at that time was that he was preparing for an emergency. If there was a fight inside or the Vice Big Chief noticed something unusual about his disguise, he would be able to handle it without worry. For that, he had to set up a tactical formation to seal off that room first.

Umm!

"Men Clan emblem badge? If it's really like what Unit Chief Lou said, then that means I lost three supporters because of Men Clan, right?" As Vice Big Chief spoke, his brows furrowed tightly, because he did not know whether Lou-Seng's words were true or false. Even he, a late eighth level of the Great Deity Stage cultivator, could not tell.

"I cannot tell for sure whether the three people who supported you who died were the work of the Men Clan. But I firmly believe that many people of our force died because of those Men Clan bastards."

Zheng-Fu tried not to get involved with any faction in the force but instead focused on the entire force.

Umm!

"If it's really as Unit Chief Lou said, and if we can confirm that many assassins in our force died because of the Men Clan, then I'm ready to punish those Men Clan bastards as well!"

Vice Big Chief's eyes did not reveal what he was thinking, but Zheng Fu could guess that he was excited and filled with some hidden desire deep down. Zheng Fu believed that Vice Big Chief was planning to use this opportunity to make his honor and reputation in the force even higher.

"Vice Big Chief, is there anything else?"

"Nothing else. Unit Chief Lou can go back. I'll have my men prepare the energy restoration medicine and the Deity Energy Boosting Medicine to give to you later. Consider it as compensation for your time to come and see me."

"Vice Big Chief, you have been too considerate of me! But since you said that, it would be disrespectful for me to reject your kindness. Then, I'll accept it with gratitude!"

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Good!

Although Vice Big Chief was chatting and laughing with Zheng Fu, as usual, he was actually hiding his dissatisfaction inside. In fact, he had no intention of giving Lou Seng any gifts. He said that because it was customary. And normally, Lou-Seng would not accept any gifts unless it was a real job or a benefit. But this time, Lou-Seng accepted his gift without hesitation. How could he, as Vice Big Chief, break his word?

Not long after Lou-Seng left...

Flap!

Vice Big Chief!

"So what's the result?"

"We've contacted our informants outside to have them investigate. The results show that all four unit chiefs and the assassins in the units were killed. At the scene, we also found something that indicated that it was the work of the Men Clan, sir!"

Hah?!

"Did Men Clan really do it? Why?! We and the Men Clan have been working together and supporting each other for a long time. Why would they do this?"

When Vice Big Chief heard the report, his originally serious and incomprehensible expression became even more serious. He did not understand why the Men Clan, who had always supported him, did such a thing.

"Since it's proven to be like this, there's nothing else we can do but go to war with the Men Clan. Hmm, that's good! That guy and I still have a score to settle. I'll take this opportunity to repay him!"

The Vice Big Chief, who seemed confused and clueless a moment ago, instantly turned fierce with a sharp gaze when he mentioned someone in the Men Clan. Although it wasn't said outright, it was clear who he meant. Because, other than the Third Elder, who was planning a big plan, no one else in the Men Clan would approach and hire an assassin force like them to do such a bad thing.

"Order our people to get ready. We'll temporarily forget about the internal conflicts in the force and let them focus on dealing with the Men Clan. If anyone performs well, I'll reward them!"

Yes, sir!

Of course, this was big news. Not only did Vice Big Chief receive the report, but Big Chief and other important elders in the force also received it. And when everything was checked and confirmed that the Men Clan was behind it, Big Chief ordered assassins at all levels of the force to immediately start taking action to take revenge on the Men Clan.

Therefore, at the time the order was issued, all assassins, both in and out of the force, started to take action and plan to reap the benefits from that incident for themselves. Especially the lower-rank assassins who knew that this achievement would allow them to be promoted and gain more prestige in the force, felt more excited and happier than anyone else.

When everything started, Men Clan's various trading groups and branch areas suddenly started to have problems, especially important figures in each area were assassinated or even massacred. These events happened so fast that the Men Clan could not react in time, and by the time the Men Clan's main base found out, they had already lost a lot.

In the great hall of Men Clan's main mansion...

Bang!!!

"Can someone tell me what's going on?! Why are there so many emergency signals?"

The Men Clan Leader shouted angrily after receiving the distress signals and warning signals from the clan's businesses and areas outside the capital that the Men Clan controlled.

"We've already sent people to investigate, sir. From the initial information, it seems that someone has attacked us or even massacred us, sir, Leader!"

Hah?!

"Who are they? Don't they know who they're playing with?"

"We still don't know who or what group they are, but we'll find out soon. Because I have sent many skilled masters to deal with them!"

Good!

"No matter who they are, since they dared to insult my Men Clan, today I will make them realize the true meaning of living death. Just wait and see!"

Booooom!!!

The atmosphere of this emergency meeting was extremely tense. Everyone knew what it was like when their Clan Leader was angry, so the elders were working hard to find the culprits and punish them as soon as possible. However, among all the elders, two people had different ideas. The first was the Third Elder, who planned to seize the position of Clan Leader. The second was the Fourth Elder, the younger brother of the Third Elder, who was secretly glaring at his elder brother with hatred and fierceness.

Thus..., Zheng-Fu's actions to create a rift between the top assassin force and Men Clan were considered very successful. However, his plans were not over yet. He still had other plans that he would implement next.
