The little girl hesitated for a moment, then a smile slowly appeared on her face.

"I see,"

"Oh well."

Section 380, Chapter 379: The City of Sin

The central command center of the Viper base is where all the upper and middle-ranking officers of the Viper organization have gathered.

Everyone looked grave, wondering why the commander-in-chief had issued this emergency summons.

Many people thought of a certain rumor, and occasionally someone would steal a glance at Shura.

Could it be that today is the day of the handover between the old and new commanders-in-chief?

"Haha, everyone's here, great, great!"

The Snake King's strong and resonant voice reassured the assembled officials. Seeing their commander-in-chief so energetic, the rumor that the Snake King was nearing his end was probably true...

"Everyone, I am nearing my end."

Just as everyone was starting to relax, the Snake King dropped a bombshell!

"Commander-in-Chief?"

"What...what does this mean?!"

"What are you saying, Commander-in-Chief?"

"Everyone dies eventually, and I am no exception."

The Serpent King's calm voice dominated the entire arena. He said indifferently, "I am old and can no longer support the Viper."

"The organization needs a stronger leader."

"I've called everyone here today for no other reason than to announce some news—"

"From this day forward, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Viper will be handed over to this gentleman!"

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, the Snake King pointed to the little girl who was holding her head high.

"Everyone, give us a round of applause!"

The old man led the applause, but the cadres seemed to be petrified, sitting there motionless.

"Commander-in-Chief."

Shura stood up with a stiff upper lip. He glanced at the little girl and carefully chose his words, saying, "Isn't this decision a bit too sudden?"

"After all, this lady was not previously a member of the organization, and none of the officers know her very well."

"That's not important."

The Snake King said casually, "Because I don't have many days left to live, I plan to do something I've always wanted to do before I die."

"Commander-in-Chief, what is it?"

Qianbian began, "If there's anything we can do to help..."

"I've found that scoundrel Crove's true identity and plan to set off tonight to take him out."

"..."

"Commander-in-Chief, shouldn't we deploy the entire Viper Corps?"

"No need, I can go by myself."

The Serpent King gave a bitter smile: "Because of my actions, the Viper will definitely suffer a powerful backlash from Libra."

"so……"

The old man glanced at the little girl and then bowed respectfully.

"I'll have to trouble you to look after the viper from now on."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take care of that Libra thing for you. Just go with peace of mind." The girl patted her chest loudly.

"..."

"Commander-in-Chief, will you return after killing Krov?" Qianbian suddenly asked.

"No, I want to spend the last bit of my life fishing or strolling in the park."

The old man glanced at the cadres with their varied expressions, and said, "Takakura, Mitsui, Tamura, Sakamoto, step forward!"

Four men walked out hesitantly, a bad feeling creeping over them.

"Commander-in-Chief..."

"Before leaving,"

The snake king interrupted them: "I have one last thing to do for the viper."

Before the old man could finish speaking, one of the men turned and ran away.

"You traitors, die!"

After the Snake King struck out with three blows, killing the three who were a beat too slow to react, he said to the little girl, "I'll leave the last one for you."

"Oh"

The little girl nodded, and she reached out her hand. An invisible lifeline connected to the heart of the fleeing man.

"All right."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the man, who had been running wildly, collapsed to the ground and could not get up.

"That's good."

The Snake King nodded, and then gave Shura his final instructions: "Don't adjourn the meeting yet. Before noon tomorrow, no cadre is allowed to leave this command center."

Shura's heart tightened: "Yes, sir!"

The Snake King's personal assassination of Krov did not cause much of a stir in the underworld, at least not on the surface.

The head of Libra occasionally makes public appearances; he remains the same chubby, money-obsessed old man.

Viper lived a peaceful life as well. After hearing that the new Viper commander was also a super strong person, no dark organization dared to bare its fangs at Viper.

Of course, many people don't believe this news.

'This is merely a delaying tactic after the Snake King disappeared!'

Many people were convinced of this, but no fool tried to expose the 'lie'.

Because they all knew very well that now that the Snake King had disappeared, a certain organization would definitely be the first to make a move to test the waters.

And this day came sooner than anyone had imagined.

"Sir, several investors have already withdrawn. If we don't take action, the consequences will be severe."

Shura found a carefree shopkeeper who was playing with a puppy in a pet store and said seriously, "Sir, please give me your instructions!"

Why did those investors withdraw their investment?

The little girl touched the dog's belly and casually asked a question.

"It was Libra that put pressure on them. Before we at Viper showed a strong stance, those investors had no choice."

"This is a very serious matter."

"Very serious!"

"Shura, isn't this a clear provocation?"

"Exactly!"

"We must fight back," the little girl said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Shura's expression softened slightly.

"Sir, please take a look at this."

He took out a map marked with countless red dots.

"Libra's nearest branch is here; we can launch a surprise attack."

Shura paused, then said solemnly, "Although it was a surprise attack, I believe the enemy is definitely well-prepared. This will be a tough battle."

"Shura, why did you only attack one branch?"

"..."

The man paused, then asked, "You mean?"

"Where is Libra's headquarters? Do you know the way?" the little girl asked repeatedly.

"You mean the City of Sin? Of course I know it!"

"Sin City?"

The little girl stopped teasing the dog, stood up, and asked with a curious look, "Is that the name of that city? It sounds pretty impressive."

"..."

Upon hearing what the little girl said, Shura immediately realized something.

The newly appointed commander-in-chief knew almost nothing about Libra, the Viper's biggest rival.

"My lord, do you know why Libra can still maintain a firm advantage over Viper even without a super strong opponent?"

"They're rich! The power of gold coins is limitless!"

"That's true, but do you know why they're so rich?"

"I don't know," the little girl said honestly.

Shura said in a deep voice, "That's because Libra has the support of a nation! After years of effort, they have completely infiltrated a small united kingdom."

"And the City of Sin is a unique city ruled by a dark organization!"
