Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 570 Gambling
Lydia and the other woman wanted to say something more, but Ai Liang didn't give them a chance to speak.

He manipulated Chuck, causing him to devour everyone in the room.

They didn't even spare the two corpses and bloodstains in the bathroom.

Of the original five people in the room, only Chuck, who was being controlled by Ai Liang, and four sets of clothes remain.

Except for those who sided with Zhu Lan, all the defectors from Hai Xin Society were dead.

The next step is to address the root cause and solve the problem completely.

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

A campsite near Duanjie Mountain.

A middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap is sitting by the lake fishing.

It was none other than Xia Qiyuan.

He has been at Broken Boundary Mountain for two days.

However, the fusion warrior that Yue Yangyan mentioned was nowhere to be seen.

The other party may have been hesitant to be too high-profile in Asia Union territory and chose to proceed cautiously, which is why they haven't been able to arrive yet.

But Xia Qiyuan didn't have time to wait there.

He used his armor to access a secret channel and directly contacted Yue Yangyan himself.

"I've been waiting at Broken Boundary Mountain for two days and haven't found anything unusual. Are you sure they'll come here?"

With the armored automatic retrieval system in place, Xia Qiyuan doesn't need to be aware of his surroundings at all times.

The two days of waiting were like a short vacation.

But Xia Qiyuan wasn't like Gao Bin, who was good at slacking off; for him, the mission was the most important thing.

Moreover, this time it's happening on Asia Alliance territory, and capturing a fusion warrior is a high-level mission that cannot be taken lightly.

"Gis hasn't arrived yet? That shouldn't be the case. According to the itinerary, he should have arrived at Qianhua yesterday and come to Duanjie Mountain today..."

Yue Yangyan was also somewhat puzzled.

"Hold on."

After Yue Yangyan finished speaking, he unilaterally cut off the communication.

About ten minutes later, Xia Qiyuan's communication device rang again.

"No need to wait any longer, come back," Yue Yangyan said.

Yue Yangyan's intelligence has never been wrong, at least not when it comes to using combat power of Xia Qiyuan's caliber.

The Countermeasures Bureau would not deploy such forces without concrete evidence, based solely on suspicion.

Xia Qiyuan was puzzled: "What's going on?"

If the problem isn't with the intelligence, then the problem lies with the target itself.

“Gise’s cursed reaction disappeared in Thousand Flower City.”

Yue Yangyan said succinctly, "He should already be dead."

Xia Qiyuan pinched his brow and sighed, "...Don't tell me that the Apostles Society has appeared in Qianhua City again."

Who else but an Apostle could silently eliminate a Fusion Warrior?
No sooner had the disciple left than another unknown apostle appeared.

Xia Qiyuan felt despair for the city's luck.

"They are not necessarily members of the Apostles."

Yue Yangyan hinted, "There are more than just the Apostles' Council in this world who have Apostles. Don't forget that there's also a wild one in Thousand Flower City."

"You mean a hermit?"

Xia Qiyuan frowned: "The Sea Heart Society integrates the curses on the warriors, and its ability to hide is no less than that of the Black Water Body. How did the Hermit discover it?"
Besides, he doesn't have any deep-seated hatred for the Haixin Society, right? Can't they even allow someone to pass by?

Yue Yangyan said nonchalantly, "Maybe Storm Giss stumbled upon the Hermit's true form."

"Come on, based on what I know about that guy, he could never be that careless."

Since Stormgis's mission is an infiltration mission, they can't possibly act openly. They will definitely try to avoid all crowds and choose to disguise themselves as backpackers in the wilderness.

Otherwise, he could have easily infiltrated the Asian Union and then used a false identity to buy a plane ticket directly to Qianhua.

Based on just two or three brief pieces of information that Yue Yangyan had previously provided, Xia Qiyuan was able to roughly deduce the manner in which Gis entered the Asian Union.

They acted like players who had read the script.

"So who do you think did it?" Yue Yangyan asked with interest.

Xia Qiyuan answered without hesitation: "The recluse."

Despite his analysis, Xia Qiyuan also felt that the recluse was the most likely candidate.

Xia Qiyuan's questioning of the hypothesis that the true form was discovered does not mean that he believes the hermit is not the murderer.

After all, Jin Ping'an, who was being eyed by the disciples, was now in the Countermeasures Bureau, and the Apostles had collected enough raw materials.

Having achieved their goal, they had no reason to return to Thousand Flower City.

And the only person who could stay in Chika City and silently eliminate a Fusion Warrior is the Hermit.

"Then why did you argue with me just now?"

"It's nothing, I'm just annoyed that you made me waste two days here."

Yes, that's a very strong reason.

Yue Yangyan did not continue to argue with Xia Qiyuan about this matter.

It was indeed because he hadn't been paying close attention to Geese's whereabouts that the current situation arose.

Yueyang Yan thought that relaxing the checks would allow Giss to successfully sneak into Duanjie Mountain, so he did not follow up.

Who would have thought that this weakling, who had already made it into the Asian League, would still be intercepted?

This is truly a disgrace to the Fusion Warriors.

"Should I go straight back? Don't I need to go to Thousand Flower City? Even if Geese is not good, he is still a fusion warrior. If he resists, he should be able to leave some battle marks."

Xia Qiyuan asked as he packed his fishing gear.

"It's up to you, but I personally don't recommend that you get involved with the hermit."

It was Yue Yangyan who said that the strange destructive power within Gis was extremely strong and that the Countermeasures Bureau needed to take it in and keep it under control.

But now he has a frivolous attitude, as if Gis's life or death is insignificant.

It is a combination of contradictions.

Xia Qiyuan narrowed his eyes: "I've wanted to ask this question for a long time. Do you know the Hermit's true identity?"

"Anyone who is in charge of surveillance can see that he used some strange power when he carried out the massacre in Nevada, but the intelligence department turned a blind eye and let it happen."

"When the Hermit explicitly refused to join the Countermeasures Bureau, you didn't react much... Could it be that the Hermit is an assassin you secretly trained?"

"An assassin I secretly trained?"

Yue Yangyan was amused by this conjecture: "I can tell you clearly that I do not know his identity and have never considered letting him join the Countermeasures Bureau."

"What's the reason?" Xia Qiyuan pressed.

"The reason... that's not something you can know. If you insist on digging deeper, I can only tell you that it involves a bet."

Yue Yangyan cheerfully explained to Xia Qiyuan.

Even without video footage, he could tell that Yue Yangyan was definitely wearing a sinister, smiling expression.

Xia Qiyuan's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

His intuition told him that this matter was very likely related to the safety of the entire world.

"What bet?"

"A gamble between man and God."

I've caught a cold...
