Chapter 884 Gene Warrior
The call did not go through the first time; Max Dorrell dialed again, not knowing how many times he had tried before the call finally connected.
"Have you all gone mad, attacking a secret military base, are you trying to get yourselves killed, who allowed you to do this? How could you be so bold, stirring up such a hornet’s nest, don’t say anything else, just get back to the base now, listen, immediately!"
Having finally gotten through to the God of Night Assassins, Max Dorrell immediately started yelling into the phone, unable to contain his anger any longer, scolding loudly. The Dark Demons were trained by his family and the entire Business Alliance, and without their support, they wouldn’t have come this far. Now they dared to act rashly, attacking a secret military base, effectively pushing his family and the whole Business Alliance towards doom. Scolding them was the least of it!
His only thought now was to regain control of this force as much as possible, to have them follow his orders, get back quickly to base, find out what had happened, and then try to hide all of them, ensuring the military could not trace it back to them!
"Stop talking to me in that tone, the Dark Demons are mine now, no longer your tools for assassination, do you understand? I’m busy now; I still have another score to settle, something you originally promised me. If you won’t do it, I’ll have to take care of it myself."
Yang Shu had initially not wanted to take Max Dorrell’s call, only answering because the persistent ringing was annoying him. He was not surprised by Max Dorrell’s reaction; he would have felt the same in his place.
After hearing Max Dorrell’s tirade, Yang Shu remained unmoved. It was true that the Dark Demons used to be their assassination tool, but after years of his leadership, he had completely taken control. From the moment he led the attack on the secret military base, the Dark Demons had completely broken away from these people, and now they were his, to lead them on a mission of revenge, something the Business Alliance had agreed to, but lacked the courage to execute. That’s why he planned the attack on the military base, to clear off a recent enemy first...
"Whatever you say, you’ve made too big a scene," Max Dorrell burst out when he heard this from the God of Night Assassins, immediately understanding what it implied. This was essentially a declaration of betrayal from the powerful Dark Demons, led by the God of Night Assassins, the attack on the military base was for revenge. With this realization, Max Dorrell’s expression darkened, and he could no longer muster his anger, only pleading for the God of Night Assassins to bring his people back to base first, and other matters would have to be discussed later.
However, before he could finish, the call was already disconnected. Looking at the cellphone in his hand, Max Dorrell felt like his head was about to explode, never imagining today’s situation would occur. If he had only known the God of Night Assassins was so determined to seek revenge, had he appeased him sooner or taken some actions, perhaps it wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
Throwing the phone listlessly onto the table, he grabbed a bottle of alcohol and started chugging, his frustration utterly indescribable. He didn’t even know how to face the situation anymore. If nothing went wrong, his family and the entire Business Alliance would soon find out, and by then, the situation would really be terribly bad. But now, he could do nothing but hope his subordinates could find the Dark Demons soon, otherwise...
After several swigs of alcohol, Max Dorrell sat down, picked up a cigar, and lit it, but he no longer carried his usual spirited demeanor.
"Fourth brother, what exactly happened?" Young Master Wang, seeing his brother in this state, was truly perplexed. What in the world had happened, and how was it related to a secret military base? This matter certainly wasn’t minor, and if possible, he wanted to help his brother, Max Dorrell.
"Ah, it’s a long story, Old Six. You know, in the afternoon, the God of Night Assassins led all the elite from the Dark Demons and cleansed a secret military base of the army. You tell me, how big of a mess is this? If things go wrong, the consequences are unimaginable, and now, all of the Dark Demons have already defected, and are no longer under control, sigh..."
Max Dorrell looked despondent and lifeless. Hearing Young Master Wang speak, he straightforwardly divulged the details—there was no need to keep secrets from a brother. However, his tone was filled with helplessness. He truly regretted it now. If only he hadn’t persuaded his father to take that person in...
"Dark Demons? This..." Young Master Wang felt very odd upon hearing his older brother mention this name. He’d never heard it before. What was the meaning of this? What kind of organization was it?
"The Dark Demons are an assassination organization created by our family and the entire Business Alliance. You know, our families always have some messy situations to deal with, so many years ago, the families of the Business Alliance came together to establish the Dark Demons. The elite members of the Dark Demons are all selected from around the world, all of them top professional assassins and mercenaries, dispatched to eliminate any obstacles to the Alliance’s growth."
"Although they are not very high in martial power, the highest being only AAA-rated, their assassination skills are extremely powerful. They are adept at using all sorts of weapons to kill. Every member of the Dark Demons has a signature killing skill and is a master of the art of assassination. Many people have died at their hands, including AAA-rated masters, because even the strongest can be careless in the face of ultimate assassination techniques. So, their capabilities are truly terrifying. You can imagine now what would happen if such an organization were to collectively defect..."
Upon hearing Yang Shu’s inquiry, Max Dorrell didn’t hide anything and revealed the origins of the Dark Demons. Originally, the Alliance had controlled the Dark Demons well, but everything had changed with the emergence of the God of Night Assassins. His heart was filled with regret now.
After hearing Max Dorrell’s account, Young Master Wang nodded slightly. He understood that for such a vast Business Alliance, an assassination organization held great significance. It was quite normal for his older brother’s Business Alliance to nurture such an entity. He realized the havoc that such a powerfully dangerous organization could wreak if it appeared in broader society, especially since the Dark Demons had just ambushed a military base. This put his older brother and the entire Business Alliance in a very precarious position given the well-known strength of M Country’s military.
Thinking this, Young Master Wang finally understood why his older brother was in such a state. If such an assassination organization had gone rogue, wouldn’t that imply that his older brother and the entire Business Alliance could potentially be implicated by the military? This was indeed too dangerous. He had also heard his older brother mention that these individuals were now completely out of control—no wonder his older brother felt so helpless. Even if he wanted to control the situation now, he couldn’t.
"Older Brother, who is this God of Night Assassins? Can you tell me more about him?" Suddenly, Young Master Wang remembered the figure known as the God of Night Assassins. According to his older brother, the defection of the Dark Demons was because of this person. Young Master Wang was very curious. Why was this person known by the nickname ’God of Night Assassins’ instead of his real name? What was his background, and why did he have control over the Dark Demons? These questions swirled in Young Master Wang’s head, and he wanted to clarify what was going on.
"This matter started a few years ago. Back then, the God of Night Assassins was a genius assassin, his real name unknown, only his nickname was known. Later, he was captured by the military and sent to undergo gene warrior experiments. Under meticulous planning, he managed to escape from that base and, by chance, ended up near our house, where my father saved him."
"From his words, we learned what the gene warrior base was doing. It involved using gene potions to forcibly alter physiques, enhancing physical bodies to increase strength and speed significantly. The most potent effect could forcibly enhance an A-rated master to match the power level of a AAA-rated in a short period of time. However, there were certain side effects. The base hadn’t resolved this issue and continuously researched eliminating these side effects."
"They kept conducting human experiments in hopes of creating gene warriors as powerful as S-rated masters. You can imagine what a troop of such gene warriors could mean and how terrifying this knowledge is. The God of Night Assassins was already very powerful, and it’s imaginable how he would be enhanced after becoming a gene warrior. That’s precisely why I tried every means to persuade my father to shelter the God of Night Assassins and help us control the Dark Demons. But what I didn’t expect was that this move would plant the seeds of the catastrophe we face today."
"Later on, the God of Night Assassins was incredibly lucky; the side effects of the gene potion somehow dissipated. After that, he began to grow madly. His growth rate was indeed very fast. Seeing this situation, I specifically arranged some missions to steal the cultivation methods of other cultivators for him. Combining these with his already formidable body allowed him to grow even faster. But no one expected that the God of Night Assassins’s talent in cultivation was also tremendously strong. The rate at which he grew was truly terrifying. Sometimes, I was even scared."
At this point, Max Dorrell’s expression filled with gravity. These matters were all facilitated by him, and considering the current situation, his heart was overwhelmed with depression and regret...
