As the saying goes, even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Here, Mei Chuanqiong, the underworld boss, is the true local authority. Moreover, the name "Night Hall" clearly has connections to the dark side, whether it pertains to the underworld or businesses operating at night. In any case, associating it with Mei Chuanqiong is undoubtedly correct!
"Mr. Xiao? Is there something you need?" At this moment, Mei Chuanqiong was practicing in his home. Yes, having fully integrated Dracula's Blood, Mei Chuanqiong was refining his Blood Energy. At this time, he possessed the peak strength of a Viscount. However, during their business dealings, Xiao Yefeng had demonstrated enough power to earn his respect. From the very beginning, Mei Chuanqiong had held a sense of awe towards Xiao Yefeng, which was evident from how he addressed him.
"Oh! Uncle Mei! I have something I’d like to ask you to help me investigate!" Xiao Yefeng said.
"What is it? As long as it's feasible, I will do my best!" Mei Chuanqiong replied.
"I want to look into a place called Night Hall; it should be within Hangzhou. I believe you can find it, Uncle Mei!" Xiao Yefeng stated.
After repeating Xiao Yefeng's question and pondering for a moment, Mei Chuanqiong said, "No problem! That name should be familiar here; I'm somewhat acquainted with it. However, I can't recall it right now. Give me half an hour, and I'll get back to you!"
"Thank you so much, Uncle Mei!" With that, Xiao Yefeng hung up the phone. At that moment, he noticed a wisp of black smoke rising from a distant valley and immediately drove toward that direction.
After hanging up the phone, Mei Chuanqiong quickly grabbed his clothes and transformed into a dark red figure as he rushed out of the room. He picked up the phone in the living room and made four or five calls before sitting on the sofa, deep in thought about the name Night Hall. He wasn't lying; he had some recollection of it, but unfortunately, it was too distant a memory for him to grasp at that moment.
Not long after—just over ten minutes later—five hurried men and women pushed open the door to Mei Chuanqiong's home. Four men and one woman were dressed somewhat normally; some wore jackets. However, upon closer inspection, one could see tattoos peeking out from their exposed skin and noticeable ear piercings—though they weren't overly adorned at that moment.
Among them was a clean-cut man wearing glasses; he was the first to arrive shortly after Mei Chuanqiong hung up the phone—barely five minutes had passed since then.
"I've got all the information; now you all think back—whose territory does Night Hall belong to? That name sounds so familiar, but why can't I remember?" Mei Chuanqiong scratched his head.
"Night Hall? Hiss~ That name isn't in my territory," said a man in gray sportswear with a Dragon Tail tattoo visible on his wrist.
The only woman among them had her hair tied in a ponytail and was also scratching her head in deep thought. Finally shaking her head, she said, "Uncle Mei! I don't have anything on that either!"
The other two also shook their heads in agreement. Ultimately, Mei Chuanqiong turned his gaze back to the first man who arrived. At that moment, this man slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Uncle Mei! I remember now! Night Hall is just the former name of that Seductive Tavern in the East District! Don’t you recall? You even agreed to their name change not long ago!"
"Seductive Tavern! Night Hall! Right! It's from our East District!" Brother J said as he finally remembered. "But that bar hasn't been open for quite some time now; however, they haven't missed any payments either. Honestly, Uncle Mei! I'm sorry! I forgot about a place in my own territory!" The only woman, Lei Mei, said awkwardly; forgetting about a shop in her own area was undeniably embarrassing.
"Never mind, as long as we find it. Prepare not to be discovered by the people in this shop, and try to gather some information for me!" Mei Chuanqiong said.
At that moment, Lei Mei glanced at Mei Chuanqiong with confusion and asked, "Uncle Mei, did they provoke you? If so, give me half an hour, and I'll make this shop disappear from Hangzhou!" Lei Mei's words showed no restraint in her anger; anything that posed a threat to Mei Chuanqiong should not exist!
"It's not that serious! It's just someone asking me to investigate a bit. Forget about everything else; everyone disperse! Lei, prepare yourself. I might go to this shop with that person today! Remember, don't alert them!" Mei Chuanqiong instructed.
"Alright! We're leaving, Uncle Mei!" The group clasped their fists together in respect, moving with the grace of Ancient Martial Arts. Clearly, they were all elite Ancient Warriors trained by Mei Chuanqiong. This was the foundation of Mei Chuanqiong's ability to dominate the entire underworld; he had trained a group of Ancient Warriors, and these few were among the best.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng parked his car on the road outside a ravine. Sure enough, there was the wreckage of a Bigfoot vehicle by the roadside. It was evident that the Bigfoot had crashed down from the road and exploded upon impact, covering up all traces. After investigating thoroughly and finding no clues, he notified the outer members of the Metaphysics Society who were heading to this location. Xiao Yefeng then drove back to the city.
It was clear that this was the work of the Evil Wolf Squad. They abandoned their vehicle because they feared Xiao Yefeng's reinforcements blocking their escape route. They must have fled over the mountains. Searching for a few battle-hardened super mercenaries with Gene Warrior abilities in these vast mountains was nothing short of a fool's errand. Moreover, time was not on Xiao Yefeng's side, so he held no hope.
For seasoned mercenaries like Xiao Yefeng, being captured alive was impossible. The only outcome would be being driven into a corner and leaving one last bullet for themselves. Alternatively, there were those like Xiao Yefeng who would choose to throw themselves into a trap in exchange for freedom; otherwise, they would never be taken alive.
Unfortunately, an old friend he hadn't seen in so long had left just like that. For Xiao Yefeng, it was somewhat regrettable. The Evil Wolf wanted to kill him; how could Xiao Yefeng not want to eliminate the Evil Wolf? Although he knew little about that incident, he had always suspected that those who shot Liu Xuanhuang during their last mission were indeed members of the Evil Wolf Squad.
At that moment, beside the wreckage of the Bigfoot, a flash of vibrant red caught Xiao Yefeng's attention—a red paper card. He dared not directly reach for it; after all, the landmines used by the Evil Wolf Squad were notoriously treacherous. He kicked a rock away to dislodge it from atop the card. In an instant, he reached out and snatched it as it floated up into his hand.
After transforming from Pseudo Spirit to True Spirit, a Geomancer gained control over objects. Moreover, Xiao Yefeng's mastery of Sword Control Technique was no joke; now with compatible talismans and weapons, he could manipulate anything under twenty pounds for a short time—especially something as light as this paper card!
Indeed, when the card landed in his hand, he noticed it was attached to a broken metal wire underneath it. Suddenly, with a bang, countless stones exploded upwards from where the card had been lying. Seeing this made Xiao Yefeng shake his head; after all these years, such tricks hadn't changed!
He brushed off the dust from the card and read: "If you can keep this card safe, you must be insane! I'm waiting for you! When we meet again, you will die painfully!"
Seeing Evil Wolf's message made Xiao Yefeng chuckle and shake his head. He flicked out a Yellow Talisman with his fingertip and ignited both the red paper card and talisman simultaneously. The heat from Symbol Fire quickly turned the card to ashes; however, with a soft thud, a thin metallic sheet as delicate as a cicada's wing fell into Xiao Yefeng's palm. Upon seeing the twisted scepter emblem on it, Xiao Yefeng finally smiled—a genuine smile.
As Symbol Fire continued to burn away without extinguishing completely, Xiao Yefeng tossed this thin sheet into the flames where it gradually transformed into a drop of liquid that fell onto the ground. After completing this task, Xiao Yefeng turned back towards his car and left this place behind. Meanwhile, a team of nine was boarding their plane to pick them up. At that moment, just as the last golden-haired man stepped onto the aircraft, he suddenly raised his right arm; a square display screen appeared on his metallic arm.
The flashing red light on the screen had vanished when suddenly at the cabin door, another man extended his arm toward him but seeing that the golden-haired man hadn’t boarded yet jumped down from the cabin instead.
"Old friend! What's wrong?" The person stepping off the plane was none other than Evil Wolf, and the one with the mechanical arm was Huazai. At that moment, Huazai smiled as he glanced at the now-vanished red dot on his mechanical arm and said, "As expected of Bee Queen! The latest generation of disguise locators has already been discovered!"
"What?" Evil Wolf asked, puzzled.
"Let's get on the plane first!" Huazai replied, walking up the cabin steps.
The plane took off, and the strange emblem on its body piqued curiosity—a golden eye standing upright, painted on the fuselage. With a whirring of propellers, the aircraft ascended into the sky.
Inside the cabin, after hearing Huazai's words, Evil Wolf questioned, "So that red card you gave me contains the latest locator from Constellation! You plan to take advantage of the madman's oversight and use his hatred for me to carry this card closely? So you want to track his location and movements?"
"Pretty much! This is just the second target. What I really want to verify is whether Bee Queen is still that fearsome figure from back in the day! It seems like Bee Queen hasn't changed!" Huazai replied.
"Hmph! What does it matter if she hasn't changed? We have changed. If she still thinks we're the same mercenaries from back then, I'll show her what it means to be under my heel!" Azure Fox said with narrowed eyes.
Looking at Azure Fox, Huazai remarked, "You're still as arrogant as ever. Don't forget why Tiger Shark Team failed last time! Do you really think that the old Bee Queen could gain an advantage over Demon Fox? And even injure him?"
"But Demon Fox is just an ordinary person!" Azure Fox insisted.
Shaking his head helplessly, Huazai said, "Azure Fox, your arrogance will one day be your downfall because you don't understand human nature. Who exactly is Demon Fox? He's Bee Queen's disciple and also the one who wants to kill her most. But why didn't he act last time? Why is Bee Queen still alive? Think about it!"
