"Nicely done," Mubai praised. "But I hope that, in the future, you will leave the hard work to me."
He didn"t want her to face the world alone. He wanted to solve every problem for her.
Xinghe looked at him and said, "I"m not your typical damsel in distress. However, I realize there"s a limit to what I can do. You can help me with those things that I can"t handle and vice versa. I want us to be equal, neither of us less valuable than the other."
Take the matter of Barron as an example, if not for Mubai, they would be dead.
Mubai smiled when Xinghe said so. He took her hands and said, "Xinghe, I"m glad that you"re okay."
He felt he was dreaming that he was physically beside her. Xinghe"s eyes shone slightly; actually, she was glad that he was fine, too. They were divorced and had an uncertain future, but she didn"t want anything bad to happen to him. Thankfully, they were both alive.
"The "Philip" that you mentioned earlier is the General?" Xinghe asked suddenly.
Mubai nodded. "He has great influence in this country; we are going to need his help if we are to take down IV Syndicate."
"Charlie knows the location for one of their bases; we can start from there," Xinghe suggested.
"I agree. We"ve gathered the information from him earlier. Leave the rest to me, after we find the base, it"ll be time for you to s.h.i.+ne."
"Alright, we need to resolve this as soon as possible."
The longer this dragged on, the worse it would be for things back at City T. Feng Saohuang would have time to grow with them out of the picture. Therefore, they needed to find the proof of his criminality as soon as possible and rush back.
Mubai thought the same. Therefore, after they returned home, they started planning. Sam"s group joined them in the living room, after they"d patched up their wounds and changed their clothes. Charlie was still recovering, but he made the effort to join them.
"Why are you looking for IV Syndicate?" Charlie asked. Earlier he didn"t care but now that they knew each other. Now, he couldn"t help but be curious. Sam"s group was curious about it, too.
Cairn said, "Almost no one dares go up against IV Syndicate; it is not a good idea going after them."
Xinghe replied softly, "We have to."
"Why? Has the organization wronged you?" Ali asked.
Xinghe answered, "Indeed, they have, albeit indirectly."
"I think you should just let this be!" Sam warned them seriously, "IV Syndicate is not something you should approach w.i.l.l.y-nilly. All of their enemies have been found dead in mysterious circ.u.mstances, so if the wrong wasn"t that serious, there no need to take this risk."
"As I"ve said, we have to. Not only that, we"re going to demolish the whole organization!" Xinghe said confidently, shocking everyone present.
"You"re going to demolish IV Syndicate?" Ali yelped, "Xinghe, have you lost your mind?"
Destroying IV Syndicate was harder than climbing into the sky. If not, they wouldn"t have survived for so long.
This time it was Mubai who answered, "Whether we can destroy them or not is not your concern, as long as you cooperate that"s more than enough."
"That"s right, cooperate with us. If we can demolish them, I will overlook the fact that you broke into the military prison," Philip said with authority.
Charlie replied anxiously, "General, even with the military"s support, you might not be able to demolish them. In fact, I fear you"ll get a target on your back. I"ve interacted with these people before and I"m somewhat familiar with their situation. They are a scary organization."
