After that tragic battle, Xiang Yu survived as the only survivor.
Lingsi, who had regained her self-awareness, left without even looking at him.
Xiang Yu felt that as a shameless betrayer, he would definitely be the subject of arbitration by Ling Si. But after Ling Si (Muse) killed the bodyguard, she actually left him alone.
But this irritating nightmare image has left a shadow on his psychology.
Why did it become like this? If I had worked harder, would the outcome have changed? Xiang Yu cursed his cowardice from the bottom of his heart.
He no longer wants to pursue the missing Lingsi. Now he has only one goal, which is to tell the Spiritual Shadow Society about the mess, then sever all ties with Lingsi and leave ASEAN City directly.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, Xiang Yu sent an email to the Lingying Society, which recorded the entire incident in detail. However, Xiang Yu never expected that the Lingying Society would not give up on him.
After listening to Xiang Yu's poor and failed report, the Spirit Shadow Society's attitude was surprisingly good. They even specially invited Xiang Yu to visit the headquarters of the Spirit Shadow Society, and said that they would give part of the reward to Xiang Yu for completing the commission.
The reply was sent personally by the president of the Spirit Shadow Society. After all, the president had spoken personally, so Xiang Yu had to go.
Xiang Yu also learned a lot about the Lingying Club, the leading business leader in ASEAN City, from news materials when performing tasks.
As a new business organization in ASEAN City, Lingyinghui's experience is full of legends. When it was first established, it had the right time, place and people, and it could be said that it occupied every aspect.
The headquarters building of Lingying Association is located in the city center of ASEAN City. The central area can easily connect with all parties in ASEAN City. After laying a good business foundation, Lingying Association merged many high-level chambers of commerce through commercial acquisitions and other means.
It has become the largest business group in ASEAN City. At the same time, because ASEAN City is an important hub between the eastern part of the Federation and the capital, the Spirit Shadow Society also has an important commercial position in the entire eastern part of the Federation.
However, there is one thing that can be called a black spot in the Spirit Shadow Society. In order to seek higher-level cooperation benefits, the Spirit Shadow Society has established relationships with other local organizations. However, the Spirit Shadow Society only has a relationship with the Spirit of Creation Agency.
The relationship between the branches is not good. There are even rumors in ASEAN City that the Spirit Shadow Society is an organization that split off from the Spirit of Creation Agency branch and was an organization established by traitors among them.
Without conclusive evidence, the ASEAN City government can't control that much. The people don't know if someone is jealous and deliberately smearing the Spirit Shadow Society, so this black spot incident will be ignored.
In short, the Spirit Shadow Society is an emerging organization at the big brother level in ASEAN City.
A few days later, in the morning, Xiang Yu took the [Lingying Club] special car to pick up and drop off guests at the designated location.
The Lingying Society generally does not accept idle personnel without leadership positions. Ordinary people who want to enter the Lingying Society must receive an invitation letter and be picked up and dropped off by a special car within the Lingying Society.
After bypassing several special passages, the special car successfully drove into the headquarters of the Spirit Shadow Society.
The main base of the Spirit Shadow Society is at a different address than the headquarters building where it usually works.
There is a large and prosperous Western-style manor. The scenery of the manor is beautiful, and the high walls hide a large fairy tale scenery. The human race passing by feels that the president of the Spirit Shadow Society is a gentleman with a leisurely and elegant temperament.
Spirit Shadow
The special car for the meeting slowly stopped in the parking lot of the manor, announcing that Xiang Yu had arrived at his destination.
The threshold of the special car was very high, so Xiang Yu jumped out of the special car with great difficulty.
"Please go to the tallest building on the other side. There will be attendants there who will take you in." The driver of the special car pointed to a building to the east.
The main building of the Spirit Shadow Society's main base is said to be an ancient castle with a certain historical origin. I heard that this is also a little selfishness and hobby of the president of the Spirit Shadow Society.
This ancient castle has experienced various vicissitudes of life. After the Spirit Shadow Society spent a huge amount of money to repair it, it finally regained its vitality and became the residence and office of the president of the Spirit Shadow Society.
Walking around the headquarters of the Spirit Shadow Society, Xiang Yu was inevitably a little nervous. The situation in such a giant organization was very complicated, and Xiang Yu, who was invited, had a premonition that he would pay some price for his failed mission last time.
Xiang Yu walked uneasily in the manor, and the dazzling sunlight made him almost unable to open his eyes.
After several twists and turns, Xiang Yu finally reached the door of the ancient castle.
The reception attendant was already waiting quietly by the door. The attendant said respectfully: "You are the distinguished guest appointed by the president this morning. Mr. Xiang Yu, please come this way."
"Oh well."
After all, this is the territory of Lingyinghui, the largest business group, so Xiang Yu has become much more cautious in his words and deeds.
Following the attendants from the Lingyinghui headquarters, Xiang Yu quietly walked into the magnificent ancient castle.
There were no lights on in the ancient castle, and the light was very dark. Words outside the castle The sunlight couldn't penetrate at all, giving Xiang Yu a particularly eerie feeling.
Basically nothing could be seen in the blurry field of vision, so Xiang Yu could only go deeper along the long corridor.
Finally, a dazzling light appeared at the end of the passage.
"Mr. Xiang Yu, our president is waiting for your arrival in the living room in front. I will step aside first." The attendants beside Xiang Yu stepped aside to make way for Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu said weakly: "Oh, okay."
Things happened so suddenly that Xiang Yu didn't know what kind of results would be waiting for him ahead, so he could only go on without hesitation...
After walking through the long dark corridor, Xiang Yu finally saw the long-lost light.
It was a spacious and bright room, and in the center of the room stood a man in his thirties, who was the president of the Spirit Shadow Society.
"Welcome to the headquarters of the Spirit Shadow Society."
During the president's spiritual shadow meeting, a man in black clothes walked over with a smile on his face.
"You are the underground mercenary Mr. Xiang Yu, right?"
Xiang Yu nodded vigorously.
"Hello. This is the first time we meet. I am Mo Tong, the president of the Spirit Shadow Society."
It turns out that he is the legendary president of the Spirit Shadow Society, a man who has the power to control the entire ASEAN city's economy. Xiang Yu thought to himself.
"Mr. Mo Tong, about Muse..."
Mo Tong suddenly stretched out his hand, causing Xiang Yu to stop speaking.
"Mr. Xiang Yu, don't be too restrained. It's not the way to treat guests by asking them to stand and talk. Let's sit down and talk slowly." Mo Tong pointed to the sofa with his right hand and said kindly.
"Yeah." Xiang Yu was a little flattered to be invited to sit down.
Next, Xiang Yu saw another scene that made him extremely nervous.
Mo Tong, the president of the Spirit Shadow Society, walked to the counter, poured two cups of coffee himself, and handed one of the cups to Xiang Yu who was sitting on the sofa.
Xiang Yu took it, took a sip carefully, and praised: "Well, this is really a good cup of coffee."
Mo Tong pursed his lips and smiled softly: "This is the coffee I grind by myself. I hope Mr. Xiang Yu likes it."
Xiang Yu rolled his eyes and looked away from Mo Tong. He always felt that this matter was a bit strange. How could a person who was the president of the Spirit Shadow Society be so polite to a mercenary who failed in his mission?
"Mr. Xiang Yu, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Mo Tong showed a warm smile again.
Seeing Mo Tong's kind facial expression, Xiang Yu gradually relaxed his vigilance.
Xiang Yu thought to himself, could it be that I am paranoid? Or is it the sequelae of witnessing the killings outside the city a few days ago?
After drinking a cup of refreshing coffee, Mo Tong sat over and finally said, "Okay, Mr. Xiang Yu, let's start talking."
"Based on the letter of assistance sent by Mr. Xiang Yu, I have basically understood what happened. Is there anything else that Mr. Xiang Yu would like to add or explain in particular?"
Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Mo Tong, I'm sorry that I didn't bring Muse back smoothly. Just nine-tenths of the way through the mission, due to my negligence, an unexpected accident happened.
This commissioned mission ultimately failed.”
Mo Tong looked at Xiang Yu and said calmly: "The accident Mr. Xiang Yu is talking about should refer to the incident where the humanoid girl Muse suddenly went berserk, killed her bodyguard and escaped. This incident has been discovered by the ASEAN City police, and now Muse is still
On a first-level wanted warrant."
Looking at the puzzled Xiang Yu, Mo Tong continued to explain: "First of all, I would like to thank you, Mr. Xiang Yu, as one of the entrusted persons for your assistance. Just about a year ago, we [Lingying Association] issued an order to the black market
A secret mission with a ten-year deadline. The goal of that mission is to bring back the humanoid girl Muse intact. And you are the only mercenary who has reported specific progress to me in recent years."
"So I want to thank you for giving the Spirit Shadow Society good expectations."
Mo Tong continued: "The entire Lingying Society, including me, is looking forward to your good news. Two weeks ago, Mr. Xiang Yu, you had a call with the Lingying Society and said that you had found a humanoid girl in the capital.
Muse], and promised to bring her to ASEAN City in half a month and bring her to me intact."
Mo Tong's expression changed and he continued: "But what I received a few days ago was not the good news that Muse had brought back, but the bad news that more than a dozen senior bodyguards died suddenly outside ASEAN City. For this reason
The Spirit Shadow Society must also pay high pensions to their relevant personnel.”
Xiang Yu heard the different tones in several passages of Mo Tong's words.
In order to alleviate Mo Tong's unhappiness, Xiang Yu said humbly: "I'm sorry, President Mo Tong, this is my dereliction of duty. Then the whereabouts of Miusi were as mentioned in the email a few days ago. Muse suddenly went on a rampage and killed
Killed all the bodyguards who were blocking her, and then disappeared."
"Muse is probably still hiding in ASEAN City temporarily. She does not have identity authentication and cannot return to the capital alone by train or other means." Xiang Yu explained.
"But it doesn't matter. Everything at the moment is within the plan of the Spirit Shadow Society." Mo Tong raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his unique smile.
