The obsidian dagger in his hand, which emitted the scent of ’food,’ seemed to be the standard equipment of the ’Faceless Men’ legion.
"Is it by using this obsidian dagger that they completed the transformation of their faces?"
Jason instantly had a new conjecture.
A touch of surprise in his heart, he knew that it was not uncommon for ’abnormal’ ’special items’ to be used in conjunction with the casting of secret techniques, yet the fact that these ’abnormal’ ’special items’ could be mass-produced was indeed surprising.
The ’Faceless Men’ legion was smaller than he had imagined?
Thinking this, Jason narrowed his eyes.
If that was truly the case, then it was a piece of information of great importance to him.
Important enough to completely reverse the current situation.
"I’ll handle it immediately," Esther said right away.
"Do we continue?" Edmund asked, looking at Jason.
Jason nodded his head, indicating Edmund to drive.
The black muscle car, like a giant beast on the move, drove swiftly and steadily through Ang City.
It rarely stopped, but each stop resulted in a full return.
At first, Edmund and Esther had some doubts, but after personally confirming twice, they couldn’t help but get excited.
Those targeted and taken out by Jason were indeed members of the ’Faceless Men’ legion.
From their corpses and some hidden items, Edmund and Esther quickly confirmed this.
Suddenly, doubts turned into pleasant surprises.
And also, excitement.
Neither Edmund nor Esther were fools.
They knew exactly what this meant!
It meant that they truly had an ace up their sleeve!
An ace to reverse the situation!
The ’Faceless Men’ legion has always been one of the aces of the ’Sanctuary.’
Any force or individual was unsettled by this assassination squad that appeared out of nowhere and was virtually undefendable.
Major organizations like the ’Holy Serpent Society’ and ’Shelter’ were no exception!
Smaller organizations were downright panicked.
If he were to send up the message that ’Masked Man’ could distinguish and target members of the ’Faceless Men’ legion, just imagine the expressions of the big shots at the ’Shelter.’
Or perhaps a mixture of both?
Especially the mastermind manipulating all of this, turning Ang City into a battlefield, he would probably question his life, wouldn’t he?
Especially thinking of how the opponent, while suspicious, would nonetheless have to pause their plans and come to verify, Edmund couldn’t help the corners of his mouth turning up.
That look... it would be quite interesting, right?
With these thoughts, Edmund couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
However, he restrained himself.
He was very clear about the role he played in this event.
These were not decisions he could make on his own.
Everything was centered around Jason.
So he looked at Jason through the rear-view mirror.
"Lord Jason, what kind of situation do you hope to achieve?"
"A smooth transition?"
"Or a direct counterattack?" Edmund asked.
Smooth transition? Direct counterattack?
Hearing Edmund’s question, Jason could broadly guess Edmund’s thoughts.
A smooth transition naturally meant reporting this information to the ’Shelter’ and then gaining the protection of the ’Shelter.’
Direct counterattack was even simpler, get in touch with organizations that had grievances against the ’Sanctuary’ and seek direct cooperation, such as the ’Holy Serpent Society.’
But were there really only these two methods?
Jason toyed with the four obsidian daggers in his hand and adjusted his seat.
"We now have the ’Brotherhood,’ ’Hydra,’ and ’Taotie Society.’
"Why can’t we consider for them?" Jason asked.
"You mean double dealing... no, wait!"
"Playing both sides?"
"Seeking greater benefits?" Esther immediately caught on.
"We can simultaneously initiate cooperation with the ’Shelter,’ the ’Holy Serpent Society,’ and more organizations and individuals that hold grudges against the ’Sanctuary,’ aiming for the maximization of benefits and the quick expansion of our organization," Jason nodded.
Esther immediately began to ponder.
It was a feasible plan.
Moreover, if successful, the ’Brotherhood,’ ’Hydra,’ and ’Taotie Society’ would undergo rapid development.
But there was too much to coordinate.
The parties had major demands, but their minor interests differed.
It was extremely complex.
The simplest issue: some of these organizations were also at odds with each other.
As Esther thought of this, Edmund did as well.
He also brought up another very direct question.
"Not only do we have to mediate these organizations and individuals, but we should also take control of the timing!"
The message that Jason knew how to identify the members of the ’Faceless Men’ legion with the secret technique was now known only to the three of them... and the ’Sanctuary.’
The three of them naturally were no problem, but what reaction would the ’Sanctuary’ have?
