Chapter 5, Because of Love

It is simply incredible to hear Lei beside me: "And then you just watch him die!"

Several people were immediately taken aback upon hearing this: "Has the news about Bai Ye already leaked out? How could this happen?"

Franklin's question is more pointed: "How did you know that his news had leaked?"

After a long silence, Franklin broke the quiet: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are your thoughts now?"

Hey, do you suspect it is me? But I have been playing games these past few days... Oh no, I meant patiently waiting for good news from Bai Sang. Every move I make is under strict surveillance, even going to the bathroom has the Galaxy Association's staff watching closely. How am I supposed to send out any messages?

Lei clasped his hands and said in a low voice: "The biggest problem is, what gives him the ability to take the initiative? Bai Ye was approached at his own stronghold, which must mean that the news was leaked beforehand. However, from the very beginning of the planning, his actions were very careful about confidentiality, with team members monitoring each other, leaving no blind spots, and this time it was a complete rout. How could the news possibly have leaked out?"

Even the diamond shakes its head: "Neither a frontal assault nor a sneak attack is effective, how can we fight then"

To know oneself and to know the enemy is the key to a hundred battles without danger, a principle that everyone understands. In recent days, everyone has been employing various means to gather intelligence about Fengyin, yet the results have been minimal

The Diamond said: "If we engage in direct confrontation..."

"Alarmist? How much do you know about Fengyin to dare call me alarmist? Three days, since the Galaxy will hire you, you have had a total of three days to share the preliminary intelligence on Fengyin. Have you actually investigated him or not?"

Platinum said: "Are you suspecting that there is a mole? But we have been acting together these past few days, who do you think had the opportunity to leak the information out?"

Franklin asked: "Did you know he would die long ago?"

After a passage, the expressions of the crowd varied, yet all bore a layer of solemnity akin to that of a picture book

Master Wang chuckled and said, "Isn't a few hours enough? A shrewd businessman values efficiency, doesn't he? In fact, when I saw Fengyin make his entrance, I guessed that your Galaxy would likely seek the assistance of an expert. At that time, there were not many candidates available in Tianjing City, and among them, Bai Ye happened to be the one with the most reliable information I had. So, on my way home, I sent a transaction request to Fengyin, and after changing my clothes at home, I received his text message agreeing to the transaction—now that message is right in my wristwatch."

Master Wang smiled and said: "Of course there is, in fact, the solution is quite simple: let Feng Yin break up with Miss Wen from the Wen family"

During the Sirius War, Huaxia and Gekai mobilized a million troops to engage in a galactic battle. In this campaign, Huaxia maintained a clear advantage in both national strength and military power; however, Gekai, through the remarkable performance of the Black Army, repeatedly assassinated high-ranking Huaxia generals, causing the battle to fall into a stalemate. After that battle, although Gekai was defeated, the Black Army gained fame throughout the world. While Huaxia's super soldiers swept through the front lines invincibly, they were repeatedly set ablaze in their own backyard, resulting in a loss of face.

Enough

Several people looked at each other in silence, none of them speaking

Thus, there was another prolonged silence. Franklin looked at the three elite members of the underground world before him, their faces showing signs of worry. He then glanced at the young man nearby, who was engrossed in his handheld gaming device, and his confusion deepened.

Of course, because the news of his arrival in Tianjing has long been leaked. If you were Fengyin and knew that a powerful and deranged individual was targeting your girlfriend, wouldn't you find a way to confront him? And with the means of a super soldier, if one were intent on targeting a specific person, three days would be a conservative estimate, wouldn't it

Wang, did you anticipate all of this long ago

Master Wang shrugged and said, "Because I sold the news directly to Fengyin."

Master Wang said: "Response 1: Has he ever given me the opportunity to speak? Response 2: Why should I remind him? He has put me on his kill list, eager to eliminate me as soon as possible; the fact that I haven't reported him on the spot is already quite merciful. Response 3: In fact, I had already reminded him long ago, but unfortunately, those who heard it did not take it seriously.

Franklin said coldly: "It is precisely because the intelligence on super soldiers is difficult to gather that I hired you to join the team. Now is the time for you to prove your worth."

Lei shook his head and interrupted, saying: "From the surveillance footage, Feng Yin belongs to the type of formidable fighters among the Samsung Super Warriors. Even if we gather all of us, the odds of facing them head-on are less than fifty percent. Moreover, this is the capital of Huaxia; it is inherently foolish to gather forces for a direct confrontation. Why would they come to fight alone? Just those elite special police are enough to deal with us."

"Do not misunderstand, after joining the team, I have been honest all along, and Franklin can attest to that," Master Wang defended himself, "Selling information was a matter of the past. At that time, I was an independent information broker, not a lackey of the Galactic Association. Is it not reasonable to make a deal with the super warriors of Huaxia?"

The matter concerning Bai Ye ends here; there is no need for internal strife over this. The current issue is how we should proceed from here.

Master Wang chuckled: "That can only indicate that the personnel quality of your Galaxy Association is too low. In fact, when I was trading with Feng Yin, they were present on site, but they simply turned a blind eye to everything."

I would also like to hear the opinion of Master Wang; among us, he is clearly the one who is most confident and assured.

Since it is a path to self-destruction, is there still a need to continue with this task? Everyone is employed by the Galactic Association to seek wealth, not to seek death. If the Galactic Association insists on wanting the life of Miss Wen, then let them use their own lives to fill the void!

Franklin was not the least bit concerned about Ray's attitude

I see... Franklin nodded and said, "I have no more issues."

Platinum took a deep breath and said: "If there is no mole, then the problem becomes even more complicated, which means we do not even know where we have lost."

Before the thunder raged, Franklin halted this meaningless conversation

Saying this, he looked at Franklin: "I told you before, he has a fatal flaw. At that time, if you had offered five hundred thousand, I would have revealed everything, but I didn't expect that even you, the big financier, could be stingy at times..."

I have a question," said the girl from Sakurajima. "Since you are well aware that the news about Shirano has already leaked, why didn't you remind him?

However, just as the public sentiment was in turmoil, Franklin broke the silence by saying: "You must have found a way by now, right?"

Unexpected. Platinum tightly closed his eyes, as if unwilling to meet the stern gaze of Fengyin projected on the screen. Although there had been an expectation of Bai Ye's failure during the preliminary assessment, it was indeed unimaginable that it would occur in such a manner... The opponent unexpectedly took the initiative, striking first.

Master Wang stated: "The intelligence on Feng Yin is difficult to gather, as he is a star-level super warrior meticulously protected by the Huaxia government. His status as a star-level super warrior is attributed to his survival of twenty-three assassination attempts by the Ge Kai Black Army while protecting General Gu Nanxi during the Sirius War. Among these, nineteen times Feng Yin took the initiative to eliminate the black army assassins, thus averting the threats in advance. He is considered flawless in his role as a bodyguard, excelling particularly in preemptive strikes. When you think he has revealed a flaw, it is often the moment of your demise."

Lei said: "What do you think?"

Platinum and others were once again taken aback: "You!"

Master Wang was somewhat surprised as he put down the handheld device

The girl from Sakurajima said with great displeasure: "I don't know, you can go ask that person who knows everything, I am only responsible for following orders."

It must be said that this fellow's behavior was indeed somewhat unusual three days ago. That day, you were cutting paper money, weren't you

It is hard to believe that Fengyin achieved such a significant victory in a direct confrontation with the Black Army under such circumstances. No wonder he was promoted to a three-star rank at such a young age; this honor clearly did not come from connections in high places, but rather from his exceptional abilities. Engaging in battle with such an opponent, whether through a frontal assault or a sneak attack, would indeed be tantamount to seeking one's own demise.

King Kong was somewhat unconvinced: "Isn't that a bit alarmist?"

It is a fundamental professional quality for independent merchants to profit from both ends. However, the Huaxia government is truly stingy; they only offered me 5,000 credit points for the intelligence on a dignified S-level sex offender. If it weren't for the fact that there were no other buyers, I wouldn't engage in such a meager business. Thus, I resolutely joined your Galactic Association later on, where a single word is worth 500,000. Now that is a true big investor

No, didn't I just cut the paper money for him in front of all of you? I've hinted at this point, what more do you want me to do? Should I tell him that his grandfather from his hometown has introduced him to a marriage proposal?

Jingang hesitated and said: "I have always heard that the surveillance in Tianjing City is very strict..."

Franklin also stated: "I can assure you that he indeed has had no opportunity to leak any information these past few days"

Franklin said: "In other words, before you made a deal with the Galactic Federation, you had already made a deal with the super soldiers"

Franklin said: "The galaxy is always generous to those of value, but I have another question. After you left the Silver Wing Diner, my men have been keeping an eye on you, yet they have not discovered when you completed the transaction with Wind Whisper."

Lei said: "If it is truly as tightly controlled as the legends suggest, Fengyin should have come directly to trouble us by now. Bai Ye is one with us; if he exposes us, none of us can escape. Moreover, Bai Ye has carried out multiple operations in Tianjing City and has never been caught by this stringent surveillance system... Although he is despicable, as an S-level expert, he is not someone to be easily dealt with"

As the attention of the crowd was once again focused, Master Wang decisively set down the handheld device and nodded, saying: "That's right, and that afternoon I burned the paper money for Bai Sang in the restroom; he should now be free from worries about food and clothing down below"

Before joining the team? Franklin questioned, "You just said that the intelligence was sold directly to Fengyin, but the intelligence you received from Fengyin was only a day before you joined this team, just a few short hours. Where did you find the time to trade with him?"

Once the words were spoken, all eyes in the room focused on one person

When I went to Tianjing University for a meal, your people should have seen it. I exchanged two napkins with that cute waitress; she was the contact sent by Fengyin. The numbers on the napkins are encrypted information, quite simple, right

As the focus of everyone's attention turned to him, Master Wang set aside his nonchalant smile and said seriously: "It is not entirely accurate to say that I have a clear understanding; I simply know a bit more about Feng Yin than you all do. When looking at his resume alone, it holds no significance. Superstar-level super warriors are everywhere, but he is somewhat different. In short, I believe that with our current strength, any action that resorts to violence would be utterly foolish. Whether it is a direct confrontation or a stealthy ambush, both would only lead to self-destruction.

A single sentence also awakened Platinum and the others

Franklin's brow furrowed even more tightly: "Are my people also present?"
