Chapter 21. Properly "Entertain" Him
Chapter 21. Properly "Entertain" Him
blah blah blah!
The hurried and chaotic footsteps, like a dense drumbeat, broke the silence of the night.
More than a dozen Black Stone Society members, dressed in black and armed, ran wildly through the streets in the dead of night. Their ferocious faces and the intense murderous aura emanating from them made the few pedestrians along the way turn pale and hurriedly shrink into the shadows of the walls, not daring to even breathe, for fear of provoking these menacing gods.
Zhao Shuo, who was leading the group, had a terribly gloomy face. He didn't say a word the whole way and just kept his head down and ran wildly.
The group quickly turned the corner, and an inconspicuous three-story building came into view.
It was a company with a sign that read "Hengtong Logistics," but at that moment it was eerily silent.
The metal door, which should have been tightly closed, was now twisted into two lumps of scrap metal lying on the ground, with clear signs of violent destruction at the broken points.
Looking through the open doorway, more than a dozen corpses lay haphazardly in the dark hall, blood meandering along the cracks in the floor, congealing into abstract and terrifying dark red patterns on the ground, like a painting of hell.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuo's face instantly turned ashen.
"Damn it...go in and search!"
He practically spat out the order through clenched teeth.
The men responded enthusiastically and rushed into the building to begin searching everywhere.
Although he had expected it, the subsequent news still made Zhao Shuo furious.
"Vice President, all the brothers inside are dead. Not a single one was left alive."
"All the goods stored in the warehouse have disappeared!"
"The attackers were not found at the scene; they must have already fled."
The reports came one after another, each one like hot oil poured on Zhao Shuo's anger.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
Zhao Shuo kicked the door frame next to him with a loud bang, and the hard door frame was instantly dented with a footprint.
"From receiving the message to arriving, it took less than ten minutes at most. A full three level 2 professionals, plus more than ten level 1 professionals, couldn't even hold out for that short time. They're a bunch of useless trash. Even a dog would be more useful than you!"
The roar echoed in the empty hall, making everyone's eardrums vibrate, but no one dared to make a sound. Everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to look directly into Zhao Shuo's furious eyes.
Jiang Shan, standing to the side, frowned deeply, his expression grave.
This is the fifth Blackstone property to be attacked this month.
The attacker was always a lone individual, yet each time he single-handedly slaughtered double-digit numbers of professionals before calmly leaving.
No matter how hard Blackstone searched afterwards, they couldn't find a single clue.
It was as if the other party had never appeared.
This was the first time they had encountered such a troublesome opponent.
"Brother Shuo, it seems our previous guess was correct."
After Zhao Shuo calmed down a bit, Jiang Shan leaned forward and whispered:
"The attacker must be a skilled solo professional, at least level 3. It's a pity he never leaves anyone alive after his attack, otherwise we could have obtained more information."
"A freelance professional?" Zhao Shuo sneered, his tone full of sarcasm. "How could a freelance professional accurately figure out the Black Stone Society's industrial distribution and manpower arrangements, and even know the details of this 'logistics company'?"
Jiang Shan's expression froze.
This is also what he can't understand.
The recent attacks clearly demonstrate that the attackers are very familiar with the Blackstone Society.
This logistics company in front of us may seem ordinary on the surface, but it is actually the "warehouse" and "operational hub" of the Black Stone Society for hiding and trafficking people.
All young women kidnapped or coerced are imprisoned here until a buyer is found, at which point they are secretly transferred.
Only the guild's top leaders and core members know this secret.
Where did the attacker get the intelligence?
No, wait, given the Legion's intelligence gathering capabilities, they might also know about this stronghold.
However, intelligence from the Northern District branch's undercover agents indicates that the Northern District branch has not taken any action against the Black Stone Society recently.
Could it be an operation by higher-ups, such as the Red Lotus Branch?
But if that were the case, it wouldn't be a small-scale raid.
Jiang Shan was completely baffled.
"If all the best members of the guild hadn't been called up to that damn alliance plan, we wouldn't be in this predicament."
Zhao Shuo said through gritted teeth, his tone full of resentment.
Jiang Shan's eyes flickered, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
He knew that Zhao Shuo had always been against the so-called alliance plan of the Cliff Guild, believing that it was just an excuse for the Cliff Guild to swallow them up. Therefore, he had opposed it many times in internal meetings, but the guild leader insisted on his own way and joined the alliance plan despite the opposition.
This led to the relocation of most of Blackrock's elites from the North District, giving the attackers an opportunity.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Blackrock Society, they would never have fallen into such a predicament.
"Vice President, what should we do with the bodies of our brothers?"
A member of the Blackstone Society stepped forward, steeling himself, and asked.
Zhao Shuo glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"A bunch of incompetent good-for-nothings. They couldn't accomplish anything while they were alive, but they should at least be of some value after they die. Move all their corpses to the morgue."
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
The so-called morgue was actually the place where Zhao Shuo forged corpse soldiers.
This was already common knowledge within the Blackstone organization.
Any member who commits a serious mistake will be sent to the morgue, eventually becoming a mindless zombie soldier who only knows how to kill.
Apart from Zhao Shuo himself, no living person has ever walked out of there.
Seeing their brother's body being "recycled" after his death, the Black Stone Society members felt a chill run down their spines.
However, due to Zhao Shuo's ruthless and merciless methods, no one dared to voice their doubts or even show the slightest dissatisfaction.
The member who had asked the question responded with a pale face, then turned and called on the others to move the body.
Zhao Shuo ignored his subordinates' strange behavior and turned to walk out expressionlessly.
Jiang Shan quickly caught up and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shuo, where do we go next?"
"Get the car ready, let's head back to headquarters."
Zhao Shuo said without turning his head, his tone cold.
"With so many properties taken away, even the most important business of human resources has been affected. It's time for the chairman to wake up."
"Unless he wants to watch the guild be destroyed, he should stop participating in the plan, bring all the manpower back, and deal with that cowardly scum first."
At this point, Zhao Shuo paused, his eyes flashing with cold light, his tone filled with intense killing intent.
"Once all the men have been brought back, immediately assign them to various industries. If that bastard dares to show up again, we absolutely cannot let him escape!"
"Once he falls into my hands, I'm going to give him a good 'welcome'!"
