Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 355
Chapter 355: Both Internal and External Worries
The Murong and Li Families just heard that the demise of both the Ye and Ryong Families was related to a love-kill case from the past, and that traced back to a guy called Xu Cheng. But, from their investigation, they noticed that Xu Cheng didn’t have the capability of doing it by himself. So, they didn’t worry about him at all, instead being more fearful of the possibility that Zhang Chenfeng could be in the shadows behind this whole incident. So, they came over and interrogated him.
As for Xu Cheng, the Murong Family and Li Family each sent three guest masters to assassinate Xu Cheng.
Of course, with just the Diamond team alone, they obviously couldn’t go up against 6 S-class masters. However, they were just responsible for protecting the two women inside the house, that was all. That was their plan, after all.
One killing machine was enough for this, and they just needed to do some secret bodyguard work.
Bei Shan handed an earpiece to Xu Cheng, and after Xu Cheng placed it into his ear, the two of them began smoking in the corridor.
At this moment, the members downstairs, pretending to be residents but were actually on the lookout, delivered a message. “According to the intel we gathered from the frontline around this assassination, the targets have appeared. There are two people in each of the two stairways, and one in each elevator. They are all in their 50s, a total of 6 people. We are unable to assess their strength!”
Bei Shan: “Got it.”
Xu Cheng asked curiously, “There’s still a frontline?”
Bei Shan mysteriously smiled. “When those six people left the Li and Murong Families, they were already being tracked by us.”
Xu Cheng nodded. After taking a sip, he said, “You guys want to stir some s–t up again?”
Bei Shan shook his head. “Nah, this time, it’s them. They are fighting back. They are quite smart. Knowing that rather than taking the fight, it’s better to bring the fight to us! The clan chiefs of those two families already went to the division master’s house and surrounded him. Tonight, our time is limited, and you are the key.”
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes. “Why is it me again?”
Bei Shan bitterly laughed. “Do you know the true meaning behind your number 2? If not you, who else?”
Xu Cheng: “What do you mean?”
Bei Shan: “You can understand it as the 2 in 1, 2, 3, or you can see it as the 2 in the game Fight the Landlord. What do you think I mean?” (TL Note, it’s a Chinese card game and 2 is the biggest besides joker.)
Xu Cheng was a bit slow. “Isn’t that still the number 2?”
Bei Shan: “Yes, Number 2! The real Number 2! Who do you think is Number 1?”
“The Division Master?” Xu Cheng said as his pupils enlarged. Taking in a deep breath, he exclaimed, “This is such a facking trap, holy crap!”
“Don’t think whether it’s a trap or not. Just remember, all of this is for our country!” Bei Shan said in seriousness.
Xu Cheng looked into the distance and slowly said, “But why? Why me?”
Bei Shan faintly said, “From what the division master said, he wants you to be convincing to others! There are tons of masters in the Dragon Division system, and if there’s no leader, who do you think can govern them? It’s possible that many people may betray the group and become the second Little Joker! Let me tell you, Junior Brother, this period is the most difficult and painful period in the Dragon Division’s history, and there are both domestic conflicts and foreign threats. You said we don’t care about you, but one thing you have to know is that, during this period, our mission is that anyone can die, but you can’t! That’s why everyone will try their best and put their lives on the line to protect you. As long as you are alive, there’s hope for the Dragon Division! Just like back during that competition when you fought for your military region, your teammates will protect you. Oh wait, they didn’t. Never mind. Anyways, this time, originally when you went to the Ryong and Ye Family, we didn’t have to go. But, let me ask you, when you really made the decision to go, did the Dragon Division let you just go alone? I told you, the moment you activated this mission, there’s no way back. You must go until the end, until all four behemoth families are completely wiped out!”
Bei Shan then pursed his lips and continued, “And that’s why for the past few years, we didn’t deliberately provoke any parties. That’s because, without taking care of the worries within our country, we will be in a pickle if we start to pick fights with other countries’ spies. But after the Dragon Division takes care of the behemoth families, that’s when we will show our fangs and confront our foreign enemies!”
Xu Cheng quietly listened. Putting out the cigarette butt, Xu Cheng saw the elevator coming up slowly and said, “Don’t talk anymore, let’s get to work.”
He stood against the wall between the two elevators, and Bei Shan stood in front of the two elevators. The moment the door opened, Bei Shan smiled at the two guest masters inside the elevators.
Those two directly charged out of the elevators, yet just as they stepped out, Xu Cheng suddenly grabbed the two of them into head locks. Under his armpits, those two guest masters couldn’t breath at all, and they struggled hard and kicked around, breaking the wall and ground below their feet. However, no matter how much they struggled, they couldn’t break free from Xu Cheng’s domineering power.
Xu Cheng gritted his teeth as he slowly wore down their strength. At the instant they took a break from struggling and relaxed their muscles, Xu Cheng suddenly applied explosive strength and cracked!
Kacha!
Their necks were directly broken!
Those two guest masters fell to the ground, foaming from their mouth. Bei Shan curiously asked, “Holy crap, you stank them to death with your armpits?”
“You facking dumbazz, they foam if they die from no oxygen too!” Xu Cheng rolled his eyes at him.
Then, he said to Bei Shan, “Clean this up.”
Bei Shan glared at him. “Why should I?”
Xu Cheng: “Number 2 commands you to clean this up.”
Bei Shan: “Go fack yourself.”
Then, he dragged the two corpses and left. Only Xu Cheng lived on the highest floor, so normally, no one would come up. Thus, just throwing those two at any corner would be fine since no one would see it.
Xu Cheng turned around and knocked on the door. Auntie Lan opened it, and Xu Cheng smiled at her and said, “Take Chuxue down in the elevator and take a walk.”
Auntie Lan nodded and didn’t ask any questions. After all, she was still a servant in her bones, and right now, Xu Cheng made the calls in the house and she would only follow.
Lin Chuxue didn’t realize what was happening, but since Auntie Lan already prepared the coat and sunglasses for her, she followed Auntie Lan out and was told that they would go to the grocery store and do some shopping.
Bei Shan said to the mic of his earpiece, “Guard the elevators, protect the packages.”
Below, the Dragon Blades of the Diamond group directly went closer to guard the elevator doors, not letting anyone suspicious come close. Lin Chuxue and Auntie Lan didn’t even notice that there were people protecting them from the dark when they came out of the elevator.
After sending those two off safely, Xu Cheng finally felt freed from any shackles or vulnerabilities.
“Senior Brother, can you stall the two that are coming up from the left-side stairway? I will take care of the right-side ones first.”
Bei Shan bitterly laughed. “How long do you need? Don’t take too long… I won’t be able to hold on for too long with 2 S-tiers chasing after me.”
“Don’t worry, I will be quick.” Then, Xu Cheng dragged a dead body with him and went over to the right-side stairway.
Bei Shan went to the left-side to do some fishing.
When those two guest masters climbed to the highest floor, they just saw a comrade of theirs lying there. A couple of lightbulbs were broken by Xu Cheng so it was quite dark. They didn’t notice that Xu Cheng had already fixed himself on the ceiling like a gecko. At the same time, his water bear genes allowed him to reduce the intensity of his breathing to a dormant level so ordinary masters wouldn’t be able to detect his presence.
Those two guest masters hurried over and squatted down to check the pulse of their comrade. They placed two fingers on his throat, noticing that there was no more breathing.
“He’s dead!” one of the guest masters exclaimed.
“You too!” At that moment, Xu Cheng suddenly descended from the ceiling and struck both of them on the back of their heads with his hand blade. (TL Note: hand blade is basically straightening the hand so it’s like a blade, but a pretty dull one)
