Chapter 900: Black Hexagram
Chapter 900: Black Hexagram
"Boss... Mr. Lin..." He Changfeng saw Shen Tian arrive and immediately greeted him. He wanted to speak, but since he couldn’t move, he could only lie on the ground and nod his head.
"Changfeng, what exactly happened at the gold vault? Be more detailed," Shen Tian said upon seeing He Changfeng’s gruesome condition. With several huge wounds on his body, muscles exposed and flipping outward, revealing white bone underneath, it was evident that He Changfeng had suffered very serious injuries. It was unknown how he managed to make it back to the Shen Family despite the desire to have He Changfeng rest and recuperate. However, at this time, it was crucial to find out what had happened.
"Boss, it was like this, after learning that someone was going to harm the Shen Family, I and a few brothers were guarding the gold vault, not daring to leave even a step away, fearing some accident. But, unexpectedly, an accident still occurred."
"About half an hour ago, three people suddenly appeared inside the gold vault. Without a word, they attacked. Faced with this situation, my brothers and I naturally confronted them, intending to capture or kill all those who sneaked into the gold vault."
"But when the fighting really started, we realized that except for me, who could exchange a few moves with them, the other brothers in the gold vault were no match at all. Before I could even react, the three of them had killed several of my brothers and then started to surround me. Their strength was truly terrifying. If it weren’t for the guidance Mr. Lin gave me before, helping me reach the peak of AAA-class, I might have ended up like the other brothers, unable to escape..."
"From our exchange, I could tell that one of them was at the peak of AAA-class, and the other two were also late-stage AAA-class fighters. Moreover, they were skilled and used weapons even as fighters of such caliber. Within a few moves, I was already slashed twice. Seeing that, I knew I couldn’t hold them off. With no other options, I could only think about saving my life and returning to inform the Boss of what had happened."
"In a desperate counterattack, taking advantage of a gap in their attack and at the cost of two slashes, I managed to break out of the gold vault. Luckily, it seemed like they were specifically targeting the vault and didn’t pursue me. Once out, I didn’t care about anything else, my only thought was to return to the Shen Family. When I reached the road, I carjacked a vehicle and that’s how I barely saved my life to get back here."
After recounting the whole incident through gritted teeth, He Changfeng still felt terrified when thinking back on the situation. If it wasn’t for Lin Feng’s previous guidance and his improved abilities to AAA-class, he would probably be dead by now and not alive, talking here. Even so, if those people had chased after him, he would have had no chance of surviving. In short, his survival was purely a stroke of luck.
After sharing his story, He Changfeng felt extremely exhausted and weak. It was only his will that had kept him going, wanting to tell the Boss what happened. Now that he had finished, he let go of his determination and suddenly felt very sleepy and cold...
Not good!
Lin Feng, watching from the side, inwardly cursed at the situation. He Changfeng was in danger. Without a second thought, he instantly flashed to He Changfeng’s side, pushed the doctor away, and a golden light suddenly flared, enveloping both him and He Changfeng, making it impossible for those outside to see what was happening.
Shen Tian and Uncle Fu watched all of this without surprise, as they were already accustomed to Lin Feng’s capabilities. In their eyes, Lin Feng was practically omnipotent, and saving He Changfeng was nothing out of the ordinary. They were also eager to hear if He Changfeng could recall any other details.
Uncle Fu casually helped the doctor up from the ground, gave some instructions, and then had the private physician leave. With Lin Feng taking action, they weren’t needed here any longer, and there were matters to discuss that would be inconvenient with the doctors present, so it was best they left.
The private physician, although amazed at the miraculous scene before him, understood that his role was finished after Uncle Fu’s words. The matters to be discussed did not require his presence, so he and his assistant left, but not before looking back at the golden sphere twice, unable to comprehend what it was all about...
After a while, the golden light faded, and everyone saw that He Changfeng’s wounds had been stitched up by Lin Feng and had miraculously stopped bleeding. Moreover, He Changfeng’s complexion was no longer so pale, gradually regaining color.
"You’ve crossed hands with those people. Did you manage to discern who they are?" Lin Feng asked calmly. The situation had been urgent, and had he not acted, He Changfeng’s life would have been in grave danger. Now that He Changfeng was saved, Lin Feng’s main concern was whether he could identify the attackers. Such formidable characters would not be without a trace, and if He Changfeng could recognize them, it would make things much easier.
"Yes, Changfeng, think carefully. Can you guess their identity?" Shen Tian urged from the side, truly wanting to know who would dare target the Shen Family. Those who had previously fought against these people were mostly dead, leaving only He Changfeng as the lone survivor and the only one who could possibly guess who they were. If Shen Tian found out who was behind the attack, he would make sure they paid a price in blood!
"They... they..."
He Changfeng was astonished by the fact that his body no longer hurt and that icy feeling had vanished. Instead, there was a warmth spreading through him. But he knew now was not the time to ponder these matters. The most crucial task at hand was to recall the fighting scene and to guess the origins of his opponents as best as he could. That was what was most important, for once the origins were clear, the boss would surely help his brothers seek revenge.
With this in mind, He Changfeng fell into deep contemplation, earnestly recalling every single detail from the fight to the moment he was grievously injured and forced to leave...
Suddenly, an image flashed into his mind – during the fight, one of the individuals had revealed a black six-pointed star on their wrist!
Yes, a black six-pointed star!
It was them, the Dark Demons!
That must be the symbol that represents the Dark Demons, a black six-pointed star tattoo, something no other organizations would have!
Thinking of this, He Changfeng’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly articulated his analysis.
"Boss, Mr. Lin, they must be from the Dark Demons, because I remember now, during the fight, someone had a black six-pointed star tattoo on their wrist. This is the symbol of the Dark Demons. Before I joined the Shen Family, I was a mercenary and had clashed with people from the Dark Demons, I’ve seen this symbol before. Yes, they must be from the Dark Demons. The Dark Demons is an assassin organization, their leader is known as the God of Night Assassins, extremely formidable, very proficient in the art of assassination. Many famous experts have fallen to the God of Night Assassins."
"I still remember back in the day, the God of Night Assassins was already comparable to AAA-rated masters. That battle was truly terrifying; even now, I might not be a match for the God of Night Assassins. His speed and strength seemed inhuman, like that of a wild beast. And now his subordinates are this powerful; could it be... could it be that the God of Night Assassins has reached S-rank? Otherwise, how could he possibly command such fierce subordinates!"
"Heavens... what in the world happened, how did the Dark Demons become so powerful, how could this be, the Dark Demons were strong before, but they couldn’t possibly have become what they are today, this... this is just too bizarre..."
He Changfeng laid out everything he knew in great detail. However, after speaking, he was even more astonished by one thing – why had the Dark Demons become so formidable? It was too abnormal; such a huge change in just a few years was simply impossible. What... what exactly had happened to the Dark Demons to cause such a substantial increase in their overall strength? Considering they were all proficient in the art of assassination, the consequences... the consequences were too dreadful to contemplate with such overpowering forces at play.
After all, everyone has moments of vulnerability, and the thought of such a group lying in wait is terrifying...
"Dark Demons? Good. Uncle Fu, release a message right now. To anyone who can bring me the head of the God of Night Assassins, I offer five hundred million US dollars. If they can capture every single member of the Dark Demons, I will pay one billion US dollars. I want to see just how the Dark Demons can continue their arrogance, their madness!"
Upon hearing He Changfeng’s words, Shen Tian immediately flew into a rage. It was just an assassin organization daring to oppose the Shen Family; utterly foolish. With one command, mercenaries and assassins all over the world would go insane. Under their assault, he couldn’t believe the Dark Demons could withstand it!
"This isn’t possible, my lord, this won’t do. Yaoyao and Miss Ding are in their hands. They are so powerful; if they learn of this news and get angered, the consequences..." As soon as Uncle Fu heard Shen Tian plotting this, he was immediately flustered and voiced his concern. Both the young lady and Miss Ding were in their hands; to act this way was far too dangerous. If it came to that, this move could not be made at any cost.
"Then... what should we do..." Upon hearing Uncle Fu’s words, Shen Tian abruptly came to his senses. Yes, his daughter and Wan’er were in their hands; how could he take such actions? He had been blinded by anger, but now Shen Tian truly couldn’t think of any other solution. So many people had been sent to search, but not a single clue had been found yet. If he wanted to rescue them now, he couldn’t even locate them. This... what could possibly be done...
