Chapter 232: Killing Yan Changshou
Fang Xiu dropped another bombshell. "In Yan Changshou's domain, called 'Specter Gate,' there are countless Specters that the Pokers have been stockpiling, including a few at the S Class. They even got someone lined up to impersonate me.
"Tomorrow night, during the award ceremony, this double will try to assassinate you in front of everyone. While the crowd is in chaos, Yan Changshou will make his move and kill Fang Moli.
Once Fang Moli is gone, no one can wield the Xuanyuan Sword. That's when the Pokers will hit the headquarters hard. Without your strongest fighter, how do you plan to fend off a swarm of Specters, plus Yan Changshou and the Pokers?"
The Director and Xiao Zhenhua felt a cold shiver run down their spines. If things went down the way Fang Xiu predicted, the headquarters would be facing utter devastation.
The Director stayed quiet for a moment before speaking up, his tone heavy, "Mr. Fang, if what you're saying is true, we owe you a debt of gratitude. This information could save the entire nation."
"You can verify my claims," Fang Xiu replied calmly. "An operation this big will leave traces. With the resources at your disposal, it shouldn't be hard to confirm. But once you do, what's your plan?"
The Director took a moment to think before responding, "We'll turn the tables on them."
A satisfied glint flashed across Fang Xiu's eyes. The Director was on the same page. Sure, they could take down Yan Changshou now, but that wouldn't solve the bigger problem—the Pokers, still lurking in the shadows. Even if Yan Changshou was dealt with, other traitors might rise up, still working with the Pokers down the line.
The real enemy was the Pokers. This secretive group was deeply embedded, able to reach into the Other Side, and constantly stirring up trouble. This crisis at the headquarters, while dangerous, could be the perfect chance to wipe them out.
The Director then added, "If Yan Changshou plans to strike during the ceremony, we can beat him to it. If we eliminate him quickly, he won't have a chance to open the Specter Gate, and we won't have to deal with the Specters. That way, we can focus all our efforts on the Pokers."
Fang Xiu nodded in agreement. "I've already dealt with the imposter. I'll be at the ceremony myself, so Yan Changshou won't suspect a thing. The rest—handling the other team leaders and securing the venue—will be up to you."
"Consider it done," the Director confirmed.
"Good. Then, I'll see you tomorrow." Fang Xiu stood up, leaving without another word.
Once he was gone, the Director pulled out an encrypted phone from his drawer and made a few calls. Half an hour later, he got some news that left him stunned.Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Xiao Zhenhua fell silent, the weight of the situation settling in. He couldn't deny it—Fang Xiu's value was immeasurable. Today, he might have saved the headquarters. Tomorrow, he might save it again, and again, as long as he lived.
Meanwhile, in a shadowy alley, Fang Xiu stood alone, gazing up at the night sky. Behind him knelt the Ace and King of Spades, their heads bowed in respect.
Earlier, Fang Xiu had arranged a secret meeting with them in Shangjing City.
"Sir, you summoned us. What can we do for you?" the Ace and King of Spades asked in unison, their voices low and respectful.
Without turning to face them, Fang Xiu spoke coldly, "What are your plans regarding Yan Changshou?"
The two exchanged a quick glance before the Ace of Spades replied, "We plan to strike him tomorrow, during the chaos at the headquarters."
"Oh? And the organization hasn't given you the special task for tomorrow's operation?"
"Master, our task was simple: create chaos and eliminate the enemy. Tomorrow, with the headquarters in complete disarray, no one from the organization will be focused on us. Both of us are completely loyal to you, so our priority will naturally be carrying out the task you've given us," the King of Spades quickly affirmed, eager to show his loyalty.
To them, it made perfect sense. The organization's larger mission was just to cause mayhem and kill as many as possible. In the ensuing chaos, no one would be keeping tabs on their individual contributions.
But completing the mission given by Fang Xiu? That was a different story. If they pulled it off, Fang Xiu would see their value and might even reward them with a promotion.
They knew where their true advantage lay.
"Good," Fang Xiu nodded, a glint of approval in his eyes. "Since your loyalty is clear, I'll give you some guidance. Yan Changshou had an underling named Wen Yang, who's dead—I've taken care of him. One of you can take on his identity and stay close to Yan Changshou. When chaos erupts tomorrow, that will be your moment. Eliminate Yan Changshou and his followers."
Fang Xiu's tone grew colder. "Understand this: we cannot share power with Yan Changshou. He's just a pawn, a dog being used by the Pokers. Once the chaos starts tomorrow, his usefulness ends. That's when he needs to be taken out. And it's not just him—his entire faction must be wiped out, root and branch."
