King of Assassins-Chapter 819 - 603: Game of Strategy (Part 2)

The three brothers were drinking top-grade tea, but their moods were not very good. Just because they had come this far, it wasn't easy to back out.

It was precisely because they were involved with the Holy Hall that they had to appear strong. Otherwise, people might really think they were afraid, which would lead to bigger problems.

Meanwhile, Xu Fang was tearfully complaining in the office of the Security Minister on the 106th floor.

"Brother, you must help Black Tiger. He stood up and reported for our sake, offending the Yao Family!"

Xu Fang appeared very panicked, her big eyes filled with tears, looking exceptionally pitiable.

Xu Jun, more than thirty years older than Xu Fang, doted on this younger sister like a daughter.

Seeing his sister with a tearful face, he felt a bit softhearted. He took out a tissue and handed it to Xu Fang, "Don't worry, the Disciplinary Department wouldn't dare act recklessly. Black Tiger might suffer a bit, but he won't die. Why are you panicking?"

Xu Fang said aggrievedly, "It's all for our family. I feel sorry for him."

Xu Jun couldn't help but sigh; this sister had been too well protected since childhood, unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts.

Black Tiger was so aggressive, but it was for the sake of moving up. As for doing it for the Xu Family, he wouldn't dare say that himself.

Wanting to ascend in rank requires taking risks and bearing the consequences. For people at the bottom, just this risk-taking opportunity is worth a fortune.

After all, if successful, their background and destiny could change. Achieving upward social mobility.

It's just that these principles can't be explained to his sister.

Xu Jun could only comfort his sister by saying, "Don't worry, I guarantee Black Tiger will be fine. He did serve as the pioneer for our Xu Family."

Xu Jun used more than ten minutes to persuade Xu Fang to go back and wait for news. He also promised within three days to definitely get Black Tiger out.

After sending Xu Fang away, Xu Jun contacted Wei Ying to inquire about the detailed situation.

Wei Ying was very displeased and shouted at Xu Jun.

Xu Jun patiently communicated with Wei Ying, finally getting a clear picture of the situation. He certainly had his own sources of information, but the specific details needed confirmation.

He asked Wei Ying, "If Master Yuan Ping'an knows this situation, would he step in to save Black Tiger?"

Wei Ying confidently replied, "Master Yuan quite admires Black Tiger, and even if Black Tiger hadn't saved him, asking him to step in wouldn't be a problem."

"Did Black Tiger save Master Yuan?" Xu Jun was curious about this, as there was a big difference between having saved him and not.

"I wasn't on the scene. Master Yuan told me so. Also, Yanzi said the same thing. Black Tiger didn't say much about it."

Wei Ying said, "If your Xu Family doesn't step in, I'll go to my dad. This is a minor issue; no need to find Master Yuan."

The favor owed by Master Yuan was extremely valuable, so Wei Ying wouldn't find Master Yuan for such a minor issue, letting Black Tiger waste this tremendous favor.

Xu Jun understood Wei Ying's meaning, he said, "Don't rush, wait for two days. Within three days at the latest, I'll definitely get Black Tiger out, I promise."

"Alright."

Wei Ying also didn't want to ask her dad for Black Tiger; she couldn't find a suitable reason. Moreover, she didn't have that deep of a connection with Black Tiger.

Black Tiger was clearly a Xu Family man, she didn't need to be so proactive.

For the company, Black Tiger was actually just an insignificant pawn. Most of the higher-ups didn't even know of Black Tiger's existence.

For the Field Department, Black Tiger was certainly an important figure. Moreover, under his command was nearly two billion gold bricks hidden away, such a large sum; without Black Tiger leading, no one dared to mess with it.

Taking the money was easy, but fearing not having the life to spend.

Black Tiger being taken by the Disciplinary Department also made many Field Department small leaders anxious. In their view, the matter of hiding stolen goods must have surfaced. Next, they themselves wouldn't be able to escape.

Of course, some were secretly happy. Like Old Hei from Team Ten. Black Tiger's departure left a vacancy.

This time it was obvious the Yao Family was pushing again; he had a great chance of becoming the deputy minister.

No matter what everyone thought, these people at the bottom always had to wait for arrangements from above.

One day, two days, three days, the time passed very quickly.

By the fourth day, Yao Peng from the Disciplinary Department still hadn't received any accurate news, and he was also a bit dazed.

During this time, no food or water had been given to Gao Xuan; it had been eighty hours. Could this guy be dead in there?

Because it was completely sealed and had strong electromagnetic interference, there was no monitoring inside the sealed room.

Normally, three days without water, the body's functions decline, and a person can't survive.

For someone like Gao Xuan, a Level Seven Warrior, he could last about ten days in a natural environment. But in this special closed environment, the mental stress was enormous, and energy consumption was exceptionally fast.

Eighty hours was enough to exhaust a person to death.

Yao Peng feared the person dying inside, but not knowing Yao Guang's intention, he contacted Yao Guang to inquire about what to do.

"The Xu Family isn't anxious, don't worry about it. Let him die inside."

Yao Guang said, "Let us lose a big source of income. That kid's death isn't regrettable."

Yao Peng closed the communication, feeling relieved. Since Yao Guang said that, even if something happened, Yao Guang couldn't ignore him.

Black Tiger, of course, it would be satisfying to kill him. Let that woman Wei Ying be arrogant!

Yao Peng was just thinking about Wei Ying when he heard Wei Ying's voice. "Get out of the way. Get Yao Peng out."

That piercing voice penetrated the office door, followed by the heavy door being pushed open suddenly.

Wei Ying entered, leading a beautiful young girl as she strode in and said to Yao Peng, "You, quickly release Black Tiger."

Yao Peng stood up and said solemnly, "What are you doing? This is a company, the Disciplinary Department, not a place for you to be unruly."

Wei Ying sneered, and the beautiful young girl next to her showed Yao Peng a silver Holy Sword Silver Medal, "I am Paladin Yanzi, and I now order you to immediately hand over Black Tiger to me."

Yao Peng glanced at the Holy Sword Silver Medal, which was actually a special identity card. As long as it could connect to the Celestial Net, it could be authenticated.

In fact, no one dared to impersonate a Paladin, let alone come to the company pretending to be a Paladin.

Yao Peng hesitated; the Paladins weren't supposed to interfere with the company. However, the Holy Hall was unreasonable.

When the Holy Hall wanted to take action, they could just shout heretic, and start directly. Very rogue. No company dared to provoke the Holy Hall.

Of course, all major companies had close ties with the Holy Hall. The Holy Hall couldn't arbitrarily interfere with the internal affairs of major companies.

In this case, a Paladin coming directly to the company to demand someone was a first for Yao Peng.

Seeing Yao Peng hesitate silently, Yanzi raised her eyebrows and already gripped the hilt of the short sword at her waist.

Yao Peng was startled; he didn't fear Wei Ying making a move, but it was different for a Paladin to do so. If branded a heretic, no one could save him.

He quickly waved his hand, "Calm down, I'll release him now."

Yao Peng saw Yanzi about to draw her sword to slash someone; he was truly afraid. Without further tricks, he led Yanzi and Wei Ying to the detention area.

Now his main worry was Gao Xuan dying inside. Opening the door to find a corpse would be terrible.

Yao Peng was anxiously pacing inside, yet couldn't find time to message Yao Guang.

When they reached the door of Gao Xuan's confinement room, Yao Peng secretly adjusted his Source Power, preparing to escape, and then instructed his men to unlock the door.

The heavy metal door slowly slid open, and the bright light from the corridor poured into the dark confinement room, illuminating Gao Xuan sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Gao Xuan had his eyes closed, breathing faintly, his clothes neat, without a hint of distress. His body even maintained a superb state, completely unlike someone who hadn't had a drop of water for four days.

Yao Peng was surprised too, without Source Power support, how could the opponent remain so composed?

The cross-legged Gao Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his black shiny eyes were pure and bright, like those of a Sage gaining enlightenment.

Yao Peng felt exposed under Gao Xuan's gaze, both inside and out with a sense of unease and embarrassment.

Yanzi and Wei Ying didn't think much of it, they only noticed Gao Xuan's good state, without perceiving anything else.

Yanzi happily said, "Black Tiger, we're here to take you."

She said and ran into the room, pulling Gao Xuan out.

Gao Xuan smiled at Yanzi, "Thank you for coming to save me."

Yanzi said confidently, "Not only did I come, my teacher is here too, today we'll definitely vent your anger!"
