The meeting with the Mantis Organization is still going on. The man called Lord Tang has been tirelessly introducing the advantages of his organization to Jiang Luoning and Axing, as well as their plans after settling in the imperial capital.
"Lord Tang, what is your purpose in being so eager to join the imperial capital?" Jiang Luoning asked pointedly, making Lord Tang feel a little uneasy.
"It's not that I'm impatient, but I heard that the situation in the Imperial Capital is starting to become unstable. There's the return of a once-reclusive family, the globally ranked AX Group has also established its headquarters here, and so on and so forth... Doesn't all this indicate that the Imperial Capital is about to undergo a major reshuffle? And of course, I want to get a piece of the action!"
Ah Xing looked at the man who spoke so eloquently yet so hypocritically, and couldn't help but ask, "Then do you know that there are other underground organizations in the imperial capital? How much do you know about them?"
Hearing Ah Xing's aggressive questioning, the man didn't get angry, and continued to explain patiently: "I do know this. As for understanding, that's not it. After all, we have always been doing some shady things before, and I have only rarely set foot in this country!"
Jiang Luoning felt that the man's expression was always a little strange, as if his purpose was not as simple as it seemed. From the moment they met, his actions were not at all like what a killer leader should do, and he seemed very eager to cooperate with An Ye.
Before figuring out Mantis's purpose, they would not rashly agree to cooperate with it. Jiang Luoning thought for a moment and spoke in a deep voice to continue creating problems for the man.
"In that case, I don't quite understand. We, Dark Night, have only been in the Imperial Capital for less than a year. Aren't you afraid that there will be conflicts between us and other organizations in the Imperial Capital? If you want to profit from it, we, Dark Night, will become a greater obstacle for you!"
At this moment, Lord Tang fell into deep thought. Clearly, he had never considered this question. Looking at the silent man, Jiang Luoning spoke again, "Lord Tang, I, An Ye, never get involved in disputes between aristocratic families or the economic trends of any country. If you attempt to disrupt the stability of the imperial capital's aristocratic families, then An Ye will not go along with you! You're miscalculating!"
"No, no, no! I don't want to take the initiative to disrupt this stable situation, it's..." The man's words were obviously not finished. He was hesitant to speak, deliberately hiding some information.
"What is it? Lord Tang! I think Mantis' sincerity in cooperation is just this much! Goddess Luo! Let's go?" Ah Xing added fuel to the fire and spoke again, trying to provoke the timid man in front of him and make him say out his hidden words.
Jiang Luoning understood the look in Ah Xing's eyes and stood up to leave.
Seeing that the two were about to stand up, the man hurried to the door and blocked it. His two palms kept rubbing against each other, giving people a feeling of nervousness, and his voice was full of uneasiness when he opened his mouth to speak.
"Well, I'm a rough and tumble person who loves to fight and kill. To be honest, I've had enough of this kind of life. But Mantis was founded by my grandfather and his brothers, and now I'm the only one left. I used to be quite resistant to the Imperial Capital. It's not easy to survive here with my unclean identity. But after listening to their descriptions of the Imperial Capital, I always feel that there is a city like this where I can settle down with my children. Maybe it's a good time."
"Master Tang! Don't you think you're contradicting yourself?" Jiang Luoning felt the man's attitude was deeply problematic. He wanted to understand what had caused such a grown man to become so timid, so he pressed him harder and continued to deny cooperation.
"What does the annihilation of Black Mountain have to do with your return to peace? Stop trying to divert attention from me! I think we should just forget about this cooperation!"
Seeing that the two had no intention of cooperating, Lord Tang became even more flustered and hurriedly defended himself, "Shen Luo! You really misunderstood me! I! Well, actually, it's because... my child was captured in the imperial capital! That's why I resorted to this desperate measure!"
After he finished speaking, the man slumped down on the sofa like a deflated ball, looking at Jiang Luoning with a pitiful and pleading look in his eyes.
Ah Xing was also a little surprised by the sudden change in tone, but he couldn't help asking, "Your child? Was he captured by Heishan?"
The man shook his head. "I don't know. I've been searching for a long time and have only found a clue. Although Black Mountain destroyed my base, based on my understanding of their organization, they wouldn't do such a despicable thing. I'm not sure if there's a mole around me, so this is the only excuse I can come up with."
The man's face was full of sincerity and pleading at this time. Jiang Luoning also showed great interest in what she said. She glanced at Axing, and the two sat down again.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Jiang Luoning still had no expression on his face and his voice was cold.
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the man looked at the two of them excitedly, sighed, and told them everything.
"When Country A's outpost was destroyed, Montenegro sent someone to tell me that they destroyed my outpost just to remind me not to make money by doing anything and to touch people I shouldn't touch.
I was very confused at the time. During that time, the entire organization was in training and hadn't received any orders. I thought they had made a mistake, so I contacted them. But they insisted it was our people, even sent photos of the bullets and said the incident took place in the capital. That's when I realized something was wrong, and I began a secret internal investigation.
I noticed that Mantis's arsenal would experience inexplicable, irregular losses every so often, and some would mysteriously disappear after completing their missions. Just as I was about to uncover some clues, I received a threatening letter. Ridiculous! A threatening letter addressed to the assassin's leader! At first, I ignored it and continued my search for the culprit. But who would have thought she'd reach out to my youngest son?
