Northern part of Japan Island, deep sea region.
A 115m long luxury yacht quietly anchored on the sea surface.
In the sky, seagulls flew, their cries leisurely, and as they passed over the yacht's deck, they casually dropped some waste.
In an instant, a cigar with sparks flew rapidly, sticking to the bird droppings while simultaneously hitting the seagull.
The seagull let out a miserable cry, burst apart, and soon got devoured by the suddenly swarming fish, leaving not a trace.
On the deck, Bai Yongge lay on a beach chair wearing only swim trunks, enjoying a sunbath with sunglasses on.
The blonde beside him, noticing Bai Yongge's missing cigar, promptly offered another one, showing her thoughtfulness.
"White King, why would the Alliance Leader come here to train out of the blue? It's been days, and he hasn't surfaced once. Could something have happened?"
By the side, Joe Curry Kebrown, ranked 65th in the world and a mercenary assassin from Western Europe, couldn't help but ask with a drink in hand.
Although the Heaven and Earth Alliance yacht is luxurious with all necessary and entertainment facilities.
Beautiful women, fine wine, and exquisite food were readily available, but staying in the deep-sea region for days inevitably brought boredom.
"Do you want to be fish feed too?" Bai Yongge asked with a smile.
His gaze seemed gentle but sent a chill to Joe Curry Kebrown, who quickly shook his head, explaining, "No, no."
Ranked 65th in the world, Joe Curry Kebrown knew well that his strength paled in comparison to this White King's.
If the latter wished, he could literally toss him into the sea within five moves to feed the fish.
These days, the yacht staying here would daily discard food scraps into the sea, thus attracting a lot of fish schools.
These fish were all omnivorous and could tirelessly gnaw at anything—plant or flesh—away, if an injured Huajin Grandmaster fell into the sea, he'd be gnawed down to bones.
"White, White King! Big trouble at headquarters!"
Just then, a bodyguard rushed over with a satellite phone, panic-stricken, saying, "Someone attacked Heaven and Earth Alliance headquarters, and the Chief is alive! The old Alliance Leader is dead!"
Hearing this, Bai Yongge was visibly stunned, bewildered by the implications.
What does it mean that the Chief is alive, and the old Alliance Leader is dead?
That Chief was a corpse preserved for countless years, how could it come to life?
Long ago, the Heaven and Earth Alliance even had professional hospital personnel examine the corpse, confirming no life signals in the Chief's brain and heart, a bona fide dead body.
In contrast, Bai Yongge focused instead on the attack on the headquarters and the death of the old Alliance Leader.
"What happened, the Alliance Leader left just a few days ago, and such things happen at headquarters, how did the old Alliance Leader die?" Bai Yongge promptly asked, with a serious expression.
The old Alliance Leader's strength was formidable, the teacher of the current Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader, even though both were Gang Qi Grandmasters.
But there was a difference between them, and the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader admitted to Bai Yongge he couldn't rival the old Alliance Leader.
Yet now, the old Alliance Leader was dead.
"Fax just came, here's the person." The bodyguard quickly handed over a color-printed paper.
Bai Yongge took it, and seeing the figure on the paper, was stunned: "Wang Longhu?! How could it be him?"
That day on Mount Fuji, Wang Longhu defeated the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader in just three moves; had he intended to kill, the third move would've ended the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader.
Thus, Bai Yongge had a particularly keen impression of Wang Longhu, an exceptionally rare top-notch master worldwide.
Unless things spiral beyond repair, Bai Yongge deemed the Heaven and Earth Alliance should never antagonize Wang Longhu.
But now, the situation was turning abnormal.
Why did Wang Longhu attack the headquarters and kill the old Alliance Leader?
Bai Yongge, his head throbbing, clutched his temples: "What does the headquarters say, did they find out why Wang Longhu killed the old Alliance Leader?"
"It seems the old Alliance Leader didn't let those mainland people Wang Longhu specifically named leave. He came asking for them, but the old Alliance Leader refused, even using a laser weapon, sparking a fight."
"FUCK! Damn fool, what the hell was that old bastard thinking!"
In an instant, Bai Yongge stood, smashing his wine glass to the floor, shattering it to pieces, and everyone immediately silenced, not daring to make a sound.
Everyone knew that the White King, Bai Yongge, had a very good temper, unlike the Black King, Hei Wuqiuhe, who acted unpredictably with his mood—Bai Yongge was easier to get along with.
But everyone also knew, if Bai Yongge was angered, the outcome would be far worse than angering Hei Wuqiuhe.
Bai Yongge walked to the deck's edge, face somber, glaring at the sea.
That day on Mount Fuji, after the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader and Wang Longhu exchanged three moves, Wang Longhu left gracefully.
And the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader, after facing the life-and-death crisis, gained enlightenment, choosing to retreat into secluded training, aiming to break through Upper Dantian and Condensing Pill.
Thus, he brought Bai Yongge and his entourage to the deep sea region by yacht.
Before leaving, the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader especially instructed the old Alliance Leader that once Wang Longhu completed the mission, to unconditionally release Lin Zhengzong and others, without delay.
