The Dragon Group members' missions are not always smooth sailing.
After the initial recruitment process, more and more members of the Dragon Group have been involved in battles, with many suffering serious injuries or even death. Although each casualty would put Dragon Xun in a low mood, the members had never seen their leader act so abnormally.
After dazzling everyone for a while, that smile quickly sent a chill down their spines. The members couldn't help but shiver and silently lit a candle in their hearts for those reckless superhumans.
Given the serious consequences of this incident, Long Xun immediately set off for City A after the meeting. His entourage included a new team of superhumans to reinforce the City A base, Long Si to Long Qi, and Yin Er.
Long Xun transformed into a dragon, summoned a cloud for each of them, and led them to City A at a speed that was definitely faster than a rocket.
The group, experiencing their boss's lightning speed for the first time, felt like they had just taken to the clouds and were still excited. One person with a fear of heights was still trying to calm himself down when they were already on the ground... Why did it feel so unpleasant?
When the group headed straight for the A City headquarters, Yan Shiqi, who was trying to remain calm but couldn't hide his worry, greeted them and said, "Gu Qianlan has been arrested."
"Hmm?" Long Xun asked, puzzled.
Yan Shiqi quickly recounted the events.
Something strange had been brewing in City A for quite some time. About two months ago, members of the Dragon Group in City A noticed that a clandestine force seemed to be active there. The dark forces in City A were originally divided between a leader nicknamed Sea Serpent and another man named Peng Tiger, but both of them died—one from a sudden heart attack, and the other from going insane. However, their territory was swallowed up by an unknown force.
The Dragon Group's operations in City A are always conducted in conjunction with the military, police, and government. Since the deaths of those two leaders, countless missing persons and brutal murders have occurred in City A, but these cases have been suppressed. The Dragon Group's activities in City A have become less smooth, as if an invisible obstacle is hindering them. New ability users who should have been overjoyed to join the Dragon Group now seem to have been approached from the very beginning of their awakening; without exception, they all only say they'll consider it, and then disappear without a trace.
The strange occurrences aroused the suspicion of the Dragon Group members. Through investigation, they uncovered clues and discovered that a group of superhumans had appeared in City A. The group consisted entirely of superhumans who viewed ordinary people as nothing more than ants. Their actions were entirely based on whims, and killing for pleasure or because they didn't like someone was perfectly normal for them.
Such an entity is a natural enemy of the Dragon Group, an official organization upholding a spirit of protection. After discussing the matter, the Dragon Group members planned to report it to headquarters and send more manpower to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, three days ago, all the Dragon Group members at the A City base, except for those who stayed behind, were ambushed and killed while on a mission. Other ability users were also killed one by one while on investigations. If it weren't for the last A-level ability user risking their life to deliver intelligence, headquarters would still be completely unaware of what happened at the A City base.
There are four Class D ability users, seven Class C ability users, eleven Class B ability users, and three Class A ability users registered in City A. In addition, there is Yan Shiqi, who is ranked as a Class S ability user due to his special abilities, for a total of twenty-five ability users.
This was a very powerful force, but within three days, apart from Yan Shiqi who was stationed at the base, all the other twenty-four superhumans were killed.
Since the other party knew that the information had been exposed, they arrogantly warned the Dragon Group not to meddle in other people's business, and haughtily said that if they angered them, the Dragon Group would suffer the consequences.
As for why Gu Qianlan was arrested, I don't know. Whether from the perspective of interests or the threat of demonstration, it shouldn't be worth arresting an external logistics member, right?
Or perhaps it was to lure and kill Yan Shiqi, an S-level ability user?
These people, who are probably among the most powerful superhumans, never imagined that simply showing off their fists and kicking the Dragon Group in the backside would attract the final boss, a being on a completely different level from humans... This is probably the most courageous thing they have ever done, and even something worthy of being recorded in history.
After listening quietly, Long Xun nodded expressionlessly: "Okay, Seventeen, make arrangements for them. These people are new members of the A City team."
The twenty or so newly trained superhumans quickly stood at attention and greeted their future superior, Yan Shiqi.
"That villa is for accommodation. You can choose your own rooms. It's fully equipped with daily necessities, water, electricity, and gas." After giving instructions, Yan Shiqi looked at Long Xun expectantly: "Boss, when do you plan to go and rescue Qianlan?"
For such a long time, Yan Shiqi and Gu Qianlan worked together during the day, with Gu Qianlan being her boss. After work, Yan Shiqi assigned tasks, making her Gu Qianlan's superior... Under such a relationship, the two women had long since become friends. Otherwise, constantly switching between these roles would have eventually led to them having split personalities. When they were friends, there was no need to worry about who was in charge or who was subordinate.
...Wait, something seems off?
In short, Yan Shiqi was almost the most anxious after Gu Qianlan was captured. Now that Long Xun has arrived, it's almost like seeing a savior.
Long Xun glanced at Yan Shiqi and suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Boss!!"
"Boss?"
"My integrity!"
