When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but look at each other.

There were only six ability users.

In other words, all the ability users in the mercenary group were in their hands.

Yun Buyao continued to ask, “How many people are in the mercenary group?”

Gale: “I’m not sure.”

Yun Buyao: “How many are there at least?”

Gale: “Over two thousand people.”

Yun Buyao: “Where is the headquarters?”

Gale: “Italy, Europe!”

Yun Buyao: “Who paid you?”

Gale: “I don’t know. We’re only in charge of execution. We don’t ask about our employers.”

It was the same answer again. When they caught the person who took action in the Maldives, they asked the same question. The only useful information now was that they knew where the mercenary group’s lair was.

Yun Buyao slowly retracted her Spiritual Art, and Gale fell into a temporary coma.

“Italy is almost the most dangerous country in the world. The Mafia, extremist organizations, mercenary groups…” Bai Zhou muttered.

“Sect Master, what should we do next?” Chi Lian looked up at Jian Ai.

Jian Ai looked at everyone without hesitation. “I’ve said it before. No matter how difficult it is, we have to investigate layer by layer until we find the culprit who wanted to assassinate Bai Zhou.”

“Since these killers don’t have any information on their employer, let’s find the leader of the mercenary group. We can definitely find out then.”

Everyone nodded. Although the solution was a little clumsy, this was the only solution.

It was better to take the initiative to attack than to sit and wait for death like before or to be on tenterhooks every day.

“When are we taking action?” Yun Buyao couldn’t help but ask.

She had already missed an opportunity to fight the enemy. This time, she had to take part no matter what.

The others also looked at Jian Ai and waited for her to give the order.

Jian Ai thought for a moment and felt that she couldn’t give the other party a chance to catch their breath and defend themselves. After all, these people were professional killers who roamed the world. If they were careless, all their efforts might be in vain.

Therefore, they had to take action as soon as possible.

“Next week, we’ll go to Italy together,” Jian Ai said solemnly.

When everyone heard this, they knew that the Sect Master was afraid that a long delay would cause trouble, so she arranged the plan so tightly.

However, Yu Wuyuan was worried about Jian Ai’s health. He couldn’t help but say, “Sect Master, the few of us are enough. You need to recuperate.”

“That’s right, Sect Master. It’s safer for you to stay in China,” Chi Lian said.

Jian Ai shook her head gently. “A week is enough for me to recuperate. I can’t hide behind you forever. No matter what, I have to go with you this time.”

When everyone heard this, no one dared to persuade her anymore. Jian Ai’s words were the final decision in their hearts.

“What about these people?”

Xiao Zhen looked at the unconscious Gale and asked, “Are we going to kill him?”

Jian Ai immediately looked at Gale and made a choice between killing him or not. It was not that she could not bear to kill him, but she was considering if these people were still useful.

In the end, Bai Zhou said, “Why don’t we leave them alive first? We’ll deal with them after this matter is resolved. They might be useful to us later.”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at Yu Wuyuan. “Your sword aura can seal their abilities forever?”

Yu Wuyuan nodded. “No one can undo it but me.”

Jian Ai was relieved. With their abilities sealed, they were just ordinary people. If she let them live for a few more days, they might be useful in the future.

Gale was still unconscious when they brought him back to his room.

Other than Andrew, who was still unconscious, the others in the room were already awake. However, they could only lie down and could not move.

“What did you do to him?”

Seeing that Gale was unconscious, Louise couldn’t help but glare at Xiao Zhen and ask.

Xiao Zhen looked up at Louise expressionlessly. This was the first opponent he had met last night. At that time, she was so arrogant and relaxed, but now…

Xiao Zhen slowly looked away and said, “He’s fine.”

He could not tell them that those who had been afflicted with the Spiritual Art would fall into a coma for a certain period of time. Xiao Zhen was a man of few words. Moreover, even if he said it, they might not understand.

Putting down Gale, Xiao Zhen turned to leave, but Louise quickly asked, “Aren’t you going to kill us?”

Irene had asked the same question last night.

Xiao Zhen stopped in his tracks and didn’t look back for a moment. However, he didn’t answer and left the room.

Louise gritted her teeth and glared at the door. In the end, she closed her eyes powerlessly.

Seeing this, Irene couldn’t help but provide the answer Xiao Zhen gave her last night. “It’s not time to take our lives yet.”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Irene. At this moment, Irene had also closed her eyes and leaned against the corner of the wall. She had not slept the entire night and was very tired.

Everyone looked at each other. For some reason, even though they had already been reduced to prisoners, they could always feel relieved when they saw Irene beside them, even though she was similarly controlled now.

Perhaps this was the sense of security that the strong could bring.

Jian Ai had already helped herself and Si Yue apply for leave from their form teacher, Sun Dasheng. Fortunately, she was a good student in the teacher’s eyes. Sun Dasheng suspected nothing even after she made up an excuse.

Over the past few days, Jian Ai had been resting at Xiao Zhen’s place while waiting for Si Yue to wake up.

Yu Wuyuan and the rest didn’t leave and stayed behind to accompany Jian Ai.

Because he had successfully resolved the other party’s assassination, Bai Zhou finally obtained his freedom for the time being. He took over Jian Ai’s position to take charge of the company again. However, for safety reasons, Chi Yang had to pick him up every day after work and accompany him all day.

Jian Ai had not been idle these few days. While she was recuperating in bed, she drafted the bid for South City’s reconstruction plan.

As for Irene and the rest, because they were trapped by Yu Wuyuan’s sword array, they could only move around in that room. Fortunately, there was an independent bathroom in the room for them to take showers.

Moreover, they did not treat them badly. They had three meals a day. In Jian Ai’s words, even if these people’s fate was death, they had to give them the respect of human rights.

Three days later, Si Yue and Andrew woke up at the same time.

His chest felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on it. When Si Yue opened his eyes, he wanted to sit up, but he realized that his entire body was weak. Although he could not feel any pain, he could not exert any strength.

“You’re finally awake.” Jian Ai lay on the bed and looked at Si Yue with a smile.

“Sect Master! I…” Si Yue looked at Jian Ai weakly. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a burning pain in his chest, as if someone had burned him.

Seeing this, Jian Ai quickly said, “Don’t move around. Xiao Zhen just applied medicine for you. He said that you won’t feel good from the effects of this medicine. Since you’re awake, bear with it.”
