No, someone who can betray themselves and tell him about such things, is simply impossible to betray themselves.
Morgan kept pondering, but no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible to figure out who betrayed her.
Simply because no one betrayed Morgan, Jiang Cheng was able to accomplish all this naturally only because he had his methods.
Time moved forward a bit.
Knights, the mercenary corps nicknamed Blood Knights, numbered only twelve.
However, the combat power of these twelve people was indeed formidable, even terrifying. Those mercenary teams with hundreds of members, upon hearing the name Blood Knight, couldn't help shivering. No one was willing to collide head-on with Blood Knights! Every member of the Blood Knights had killed no less than hundreds of people!
They had many related legends, and now they had accepted the task handed down jointly by Morgan and several other families, seemingly naturally, wanting to continue spreading this legend—however, very unfortunately, their target was Jiang Cheng.
And Jiang Cheng was not a target they could casually provoke.
The Blood Knights team, by using identity information provided by Morgan and several families, easily entered Huaxia and quickly arrived at Luocheng.
However, upon arriving in Luocheng, they were quickly targeted.
The team was clearly not ordinary people; the plainclothes police roaming the streets noticed them immediately and reported the situation to their superiors.
"There are twelve foreigners here to tour Luocheng with unknown identities. Check their related information.
I suspect these twelve guys are not simple and are different from ordinary tourists." The plainclothes police promptly reported such intelligence to their superiors.
Although these twelve mercenaries appeared very ordinary, in terms of both appearance and behavior, they were completely indistinguishable from foreigners who usually come to Huaxia for tourism. However, as a policeman, he could clearly feel the faint murderous aura and the alertness casually exposed by them.
The plainclothes police only watched for a while before the mercenaries noticed them and looked back, despite pretending not to notice and looking elsewhere. This frightened the plainclothes police into a cold sweat, and they hurriedly reported the situation to their superiors!
One of the members of the Knight Mercenary Corps, Rosen, spoke quietly without showing any emotion: "That guy lingering on the street is not simple; he should be a plainclothes policeman. We're likely being noticed. Boss, what do we do?"
The head of the Knight Mercenary Corps, the captain, Abigail, was beside him. Although he spoke quietly, she could still hear.
After listening, Abigail casually said: "Ignore him, Rosen. Our identities have no issues, even if reported. Nothing can be found—right now we don't have any weapons. Before meeting with the people from those big corporations who provide weapons, don't have any conflicts with anyone, understand?"
"Yes." Rosen nodded hurriedly in response to this.
Abigail furrowed her brow, unable to refrain from thinking: It seems that the vigilance in Luocheng is stricter than I imagined, and this mission may not be completed as easily. However, this is also normal, considering the high hiring price... After plainclothes police reported their anomalies, relevant departments quickly checked all their information.
However, nothing suspicious was found, and they could only give up.
Yet failing to find out does not mean Jiang Cheng cannot find out; Jiang Cheng had early established related alarm systems.
It effectively took action on this situation—when the police were investigating, Lucy also noticed this matter. Fresh chapters posted on novel⚑fire.net
She immediately located those people's private phones and then directly hacked them, quickly uncovering intelligence related to Morgan's transactions, even though the other party had deeply hidden these contents and had destroyed and deleted all confidential conversations. However, this had no effect.
Admittedly, such methods would be very effective for ordinary people, but for intelligent beings like Lucy, they were of little use; she easily restored those data and presented them to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng, following these data, took about a minute to confirm Morgan's phone number, and without hesitation, directly dialed it.
In this information age, for Jiang Cheng, many secrets are not secrets at all. If he wishes, any information can be easily found. Morgan and other families' conspiracies and decisions seemed downright laughable to him!
In Huaxia Country, with everything firearm and ammunition severely banned, those twelve mercenaries could come with fake identities but absolutely couldn't bring firearms over here. Before they acquired firearms, solving them was not a difficult task at all!
After finishing the phone call with the family ruler from the legend, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I have hinted to him so obviously, yet he still lacks discernment. Initially, I planned to observe his performance... to see if he could be used by me, but now it is quite clear he doesn't possess such qualifications, and moreover, he wouldn't agree."
"Yes." Lucy beside him nodded in agreement after hearing Jiang Cheng's words and said: "These family rulers, even if they cooperate with you, master, it isn't possible—to be used by you, becoming a mere pawn in your hand, is much less likely. After all, their status initially was too high, now choosing to submit is exceedingly difficult for them—even more so at this moment, Morgan apparently hasn't realized his position, nor has he understood exactly what he has done!"
"It's obviously so; for them, even if they fail to plot against me, they totally lack the awareness of facing imminent danger. Their everyday statuses are simply too high, perhaps from the very start never considered me as something to reckon with..." Jiang Cheng remarked, unable to suppress a cold laugh.
"Master, what are you planning to do? How will you deal with these family rulers who harbor ill intent towards you?" Lucy asked looking at Jiang Cheng.
"How to deal with them?" Jiang Cheng glanced at Lucy, then responded without hesitation, "How to deal with them is indeed a question, though maybe it was before—but after that phone call with Morgan, he evidently missed this opportunity, and resolving it became quite simple. Naturally, it's tit for tat!"
"Tit for tat?" Lucy was initially stunned, then quickly understood exactly what Jiang Cheng was referring to.
