Night falls.

Villa No. 66, Deep Water Bay, second-floor terrace.

The slightly salty sea breeze blowing from afar foreshadowed an impending storm.

The weather forecast says that the second super typhoon of the summer, "Sally," will make landfall on Hong Kong Island at 9:30 p.m.

Lin Dong leaned back quietly on the rosewood deck chair, gazing at the night view of Victoria Harbour in the distance.

The fingertips of his right hand rhythmically stroked a gilded lighter on the armrest of the chair.

The distant sound of cargo ship horns, faintly visible, pierced through the thick fog, much like the dying sobs of the assassins in front of Warehouse No. 76 earlier.

"Boss, this is the safety warning map for the banquet three days from now." Phoenix appeared quietly behind Lin Dong with cat-like steps.

Her black leather jacket gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

After surrendering to Lin Dong today, she stayed on Hong Kong Island and took on her first mission of leading the Dark Dragon.

This former top female assassin in Southeast Asia, and the former leader of the Good Friends Assassin Organization, is now handing a large blueprint to the man:

"As you instructed, the 62 large and small gangs in Hong Kong and Macau, and the 354 leaders and core members, will be assigned specific seats."

"According to intelligence gathered by the Hong Kong Island Dragon Gang and Sky Eye, more than 70% of the attendees at this banquet will bring firearms or gunmen to the event."

"I've dispatched personnel from six overseas Dark Dragon organizations, and they will all arrive in port by the day after tomorrow at the latest..."

"In this operation, there are also 32 former colleagues of Liangyou who are willing to follow me. They are very familiar with Liangyou's style of doing things."

Lin Dong's gaze swept over the markings on the blueprint, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips:

Xingyi Lianliu has the most seats, with 15, but the color of the sign is still normal.

The Dong Sheng Gang, located near the right side of the banquet, reserved seven seats for Liang Kun, six of which were marked in red, meaning that this guy was very likely to bring his gang to the banquet with firearms.

The Bengya Canal in Australia has four seats, all marked with red dots and purple circles, indicating that this guy will bring not only guns but also grenades into the arena.

The location marked with a red triangle indicates that Chen Jiuzhi of the Kowloon Gang was carrying a Colt Python revolver.

There's a high probability that Camel, the thug behind the Wo Shing Lian triad, is hiding two Czech Vz.61 submachine guns among his henchmen.

......

These underworld bosses had all made thorough, clandestine preparations.

Are they planning to act according to circumstances at Longteng's banquet?

"These guys are all up to something." Lin Dong looked up from the blueprints. "No need to search people when they enter, just keep the number of people under control."

"Boss, are we sure we don't need to eliminate any potential safety hazards beforehand?" Phoenix asked with some concern.

"No need. You just need to arrange the hidden stakeouts around the perimeter and set up more sniping positions. Zhang Ziqiang will be responsible for the security of the venue."

Lin Dong shook his head slightly:

"I'd like to see how they plan to put on this show."

"Yes, sir!" The phoenix bowed its head.

"In addition, have the Sword Dragon team monitor the banquet kitchen in advance and stand by inside."

Lin Dong's fingertips left the lighter and moved to the structural cross-section of the Longteng Building:

"Tell Ah Gui to watch out for the Kowloon Gang and Sun Kee gang. If they dare to touch the freight elevator button at the back door, weld their fingers to a steel plate."

"Yes, boss!"

As the phoenix withdrew, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky above the distant sea.

The sky was overcast, and the wind blowing in my face was rather chilly.

Lin Dong sat up straight and turned to look southeast...

.............................................

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, Southeast Asia.

Thirty kilometers from the city center, there is a white manor nestled among green trees.

At this moment, a faint sandalwood scent wafted through the air of the manor as a downpour approached.

That was the ambergris that 65-year-old Huang Daowen loved most.

At his estate outside Jakarta, Huang Daowen is feeding live chickens to Siamese crocodiles.

In the crocodile pool, more than a dozen reptiles weighing over eighty kilograms were tearing at fresh flesh.

"Mr. Wen, here's your phone." A subordinate dressed in a Tang suit handed over a satellite phone.

"Blackman, you've arrived in Hong Kong?" Huang Daowen answered the phone while wiping away a few specks of blood that had splattered onto his gold-rimmed glasses with his fingertips.

"Yes, Master Wen."

"Very good. Remember, wait until the Asura Group arrives before making your move. I want Phoenix and Lin Dong to die at the banquet."

A cold, metallic female voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Wen, the new nano-toxin has been injected into the jade ring. It will take an hour to take effect after contact with the skin and will not leave any trace."

A few raindrops the size of peanuts pattered against his glasses. Huang Daowen looked at the churning blood in the pool: "I heard the CIA is also causing him trouble?"

"Yes, Lin Dong wiped out four elite Garen squads today. The encrypted channel of Langley headquarters is very lively tonight."

Blackman paused for half a second:

"They also seem to want to create some disturbance at the Dragon Soaring Banquet three days later."

"Understood," Huang Daowen said coldly.

He freed his right hand and suddenly pushed a live sheep tied to the fence into the crocodile pool.

It watched as more than ten sharp teeth devoured it.

"This time, we'll let the Americans make the first move."

He looked up at the overcast sky:

"I remember taking a picture of Lin Dong and Fenghuang when they were poisoned; I want to put it in Liangyou's commemorative photo album."
