Chapter 366 - 337 Xuan Ming Island Nine
Nanzhou Ridge Park.
Two shadows slowly walked along the park path, passing by the occasional elderly stroller and couples, but it was as if no one could see them.
These two figures were like invisible men, walking silently, without leaving any trace, and even without stirring the slightest breeze as they passed by, extremely eerie.
"Communication is cut off," one of them said in a deep voice. "Brother Han, I don’t remember the intelligence indicating that the Zhao Family or Mingyuan had such strong cybersecurity capabilities?"
"They will act according to the original plan—the arrangements we’ve made are already in place, and there’s no need for us to monitor," a hoarse voice replied. "However..."
"It looks like it must be the work of Mingyuan," he paused, "Their intentions are pretty clear now. Block communications, then do whatever they want to do, pin everything on the Dragon River Assassin, and afterward, explain things to the Zhao Family, to Jiu Yi, and to the Security Bureau."
"Dragon River doesn’t have much of our information; shall we abandon it?" the other asked in a low voice.
"Let it go. It’s just an empty shell," the hoarse voice said. "We must not underestimate the Zhao Family—if they notice something is wrong, they will definitely mobilize their main forces."
"According to our investigations, the main forces of the Zhao Family are distributed in three areas: the military, Jiu Yi, and the Education Bureau. Led by the Black Phoenix Zhao Chengxi, who is a Grade Nine, they can mobilize about one-third of Jiu Yi’s manpower through their positions. Of the thirteen factions represented by The Ten Heroes of Jiu Yi, at least four are on good terms with the Zhao Family," the other explained succinctly.
"The three near-Earth orbital fortresses and the Seventh Fleet, huh? Isn’t that where the Zhao Family gets their confidence from?" the hoarse voice laughed. "The influence of the Security Bureau is actually secondary. They can’t compare to the Li Family."
"Mingyuan seems to want to exploit the gap in information lockdown the Zhao Family is experiencing to create a lag in time. They want to settle everything once and for all. What confuses me is, how can they be sure that the Zhao Family will accept the outcome? Any of The Ten Heroes can defy Destiny, while the rest are insignificant," the other said in surprise.
