Chapter 28: Preparations
It was a brand new day, and while students could be seen entering the school premises, Ma Feng, Romeo, and Xi Jing made their entrance in style. They saw students moving around freely.
"Everything is going as planned, and our prepared objectives will soon be ready," Xi Jing said as they continued walking, smiles on their faces. Though they had already made their organization known...
"But we still have the Exhibition Showdown, which is two days from now. We can't start our attacks while the Exhibition Showdown is still ongoing," Romeo said, turning to face Xi Jing, who was walking beside Ma Feng.
"That's true... I forgot about the Exhibition Showdown," Xi Jing replied.
"It's not entirely accurate," Ma Feng said. "The Exhibition Showdown is in two days, yes, but that's actually the perfect time to carry out our mission. I don't believe the Exhibition Showdown is a tournament—it's a test for the third-year students."
"We'll use the Exhibition Showdown as a cover to carry out the first stage of our plan—to let the rest of the dark societies in the underworld know we exist. And they will fear us," Ma Feng added.
"Huh? How exactly do you plan to execute such a plan?" Xi Jing asked.
"I've already laid out traps for my beloved enemies. When it begins... that's when you'll be alerted. But for now, let's just be prepared," Ma Feng said, and the trio entered the school building.
Ma Feng halted when he turned and spotted the Pink Killer—Ashley Edan, the daughter of a warlord and a province ruler under the Sterling Federation. He stood with his hands in his pockets, watching her.
"Isn't that Ashley Edan, the daughter of a warlord?" Romeo asked.
"Do you know her? She's in the same team as me for the Exhibition Showdown. I wonder what kind of being she is," Ma Feng said, as Xi Jing took a deep breath and smiled.
