Chapter 817 - Gave their plan out to the enemy
The atmosphere inside Red Moon dropped drastically as a large group surrounds Tao Meng and his men. The majority of them were clothed in black tactical wear, and each person wore a gas mask that hid their faces.
Amongst this group was seven other figures dressed in the same color. However, unlike the combat outfits of the others, these people were dressed in casual attire.
The feature that stood out the most was their black parka coat with the word "Fate" engraved on the back.
Anyone from the underworld who saw this knew right away who these people are.
Lu Tian"s Wolf Team and Yue Ling"s Alpha Team.
Tao Meng and his men were as pale as ghosts. Even the sweat that formed on their foreheads glowed underneath the light.
"What the h.e.l.l is going on? When were we surrounded?"
As Tao Meng question the change of situation in his head, Liu Shan scoffs a sneer at the man"s expression.
He walks over to where Tao Meng stood at a steady pace. Until he was only two feet away, he finally stopped.
"From your expression, I presume you must be wondering how we knew it was you?"
His question fell like he could Tao Meng"s mind. However, despite no answer from the man, he wasn"t mad or annoyed one bit. He calmly held his hand behind his back, and a subtle smile curls on his face.
"You see, to answer this question is simple."
He raises his right hand and points the tip of his finger on his temple with a few light taps.
"You should have stopped when you surmised Han Yue Ling and Mami were the same person."
His hand lowers and joins the other behind his back again. He looked like an elder disciplining a student.
"As for how we infiltrated Red Moon, that is also a simple answer."
He tilts his head to the left and gestures to a camera hung on the corner.
"Hacking your security system was like taking candy from a baby."
And that was the truth.
Before they arrived at Red Moon, he had already hacked Red Moon"s security system. The moment he and the others arrived, the system would fail unless he turns it back on.
That was also why no one knew they were coming, nor did anyone see them enter.
"You shouldn"t have put your ego so high and crossed the line."
He scans the room once at Wolf Team and Alpha Team before looking at a stupefied Tao Meng. He chuckles softly, moves his hands from behind his back, and places them in his pant pockets.
"As for why they are here...."
He pauses after his words, and his smile arcs up until it reach his eyes.
"They"re here because you did something stupid."
When he, Xu Long, Lin Hui, and Qi Li were on their way here, he didn"t think it was necessary to call the others, mostly since the four of them were enough to handle the situation.
However, after careful consideration, he concluded that "this" was the best way to scare off the rats. While he, Xu Long, Lin Hui, and Qi Li distract Tao Meng and his men, Wolf Team and Alpha Team will wait for the signal to rush in. And that signal was the pat he gave on Xu long"s shoulder.
He blinks his eyes with leisure, but the moment his eyes opened again, there was only a
humorless look on him.
Did he care that he gave their plan out to the enemy? No.
"You should have taken your interest somewhere else."
Tao Meng could only stare at Liu Shan with only silence. Even though his brain was roaring for him to move, his body could not compromise, leaving him unable to move an inch.
The longer he stared into Liu Shan"s eyes, he was quick to understand how Jia Lin must have felt on the underground fighting ring.
"Mad Reaper."
A name the underworld gave him (Liu Shan) for a reason. A name that is truly fitting of his dangerous ambiance.
"Y-you..."
After a long while, he finally found his courage to speak again. However, that courage only allowed him to stutter one word.
"Pftt-"
Hearing him have difficulty speaking, Xu Long snort a loud laugh while trying to contain himself. He quickly covers his mouth and clears his throat.
He walks over to stand next to Liu Shan and smiles care freely at Tao Meng.
"It"s okay to be scared. Being scared is a natural feeling when one is going to die."
Tao Meng"s body stiffened upon hearing these words. He didn"t have to look at his men as he could feel the fear emitting from each person.
"s.h.i.+t! s.h.i.+t! s.h.i.+t!"
He could only curse inside in anger as neither he nor his men could do anything. Even the women that serve him and his men can"t do anything, let alone lift a gun.
This time they are really screwed.
Lu Tian"s formidable team and Yue Ling"s petrifying team have them surrounded. One small mistake, and these two groups won"t hesitate to kill.
"Ah, then again, you should count yourself lucky."
Lin Hui"s voice sounds from behind the two a.s.sistants as he casually walks over to join them. He looks around the room until his eyes landed on Tao Meng.
"Since the first warning didn"t seem to get through your small brain, we decided to give you another simple warning."
He smiles widely, revealing his pearl white teeth.
"After all, our bosses were merciful enough not to kill you off."
The second his last word fell, the smile on his face vanishes. All that was left is an expression void of any emotions.
"However, if there is a third time..."
He glances at the enemy around, then back at Tao Meng and shrugs his shoulders.
"Well, you know the outcome."
Tao Meng stood rooted to the floor. He could only stare between Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Xu Long.
He knows that Lin Hui wasn"t bluffing. Even before he took over Red Moon, he had heard all there is to Fate.
Three warnings.
That is all one gets when crossing the line with Fate. If one fails to understand, one cannot beg for mercy when Fate comes knocking.
And for Red Moon, this is the second warning. One more mistake, and Red Moon will be obliviated like stomping on a group of ants.
"Since you can"t seem to speak, I take your silence as an understanding?"
Liu Shan"s voice brought Tao Meng back to reality. He (Tao Meng) doesn"t say a word or sound but nods his head.
Seeing his cooperation, Liu Shan smiles with upside-down crescent eyes and turns around.
However, before he could full look away, his eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure amongst the enemy group.
He felt a sharp stab to his chest but quickly brush it aside and entirely turns away. He walks towards the door he and the others entered and gives instruction.
"Let"s go. We"re done here."
When he reached the door, he remembers something and turns his head to the side as if to look back at Tao Meng.
"We"ll be taking Xiao De with us."
His words fell dominantly, and without waiting for Tao Meng"s response, he strides out the door.
Tao Meng"s entire being trembled when he heard the mention of Xiao De. His hands curl into tight fists, and he roars after.
However, before he could make a sound, Liu Shan"s figure had already disappeared from view.
Xu Long didn"t feel the need to stay anymore and follows after his a.s.sistant buddy.
As he exits the room, so did Wolf Team, but when they noticed that Lin Hui, Qi Li, and Alpha Team didn"t move, each person turned around to see the problem.
"Go."
Lin Hui didn"t need to look back to know the confused look on Xu Long and Wolf Team"s faces. He tells them to leave with further details.
"We"re right behind you guys."
Xu Long wanted to refute as it will only be Lin Hui, Qi Li, and Alpha Team left if he and Wolf Team were to go. However, trusting their reason, he gestures for Wolf Team to leave.
Of course, the second he left the room, he quickly darts to the side and pokes his head in to see what will happen. Not only him but a few members of Wolf Team did so, too, as they were curious.
Xu Long: "Eh? Didn"t you guys hear? Liu Shan and Lin Hui said to go."
Jiangyu: "My little monkey is still in there. What kind of man do you take me for to leave her behind? She"s so cute and delicate. What if something happens to her? Hm?"
Yiqing: "Cute and delicate? She looks more like a wild monkey. * cough. As for why I"m here, I just want to observe and take some notes."
Xu Long: "..."
Shaofeng: "Um... I"m just because you guys are here."
