Before dawn, a plane flew over Yunhai Airport. At that moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten with the morning light, and the entire city was still steeped in silence.
"Yan Country, we’ve arrived."
As the flight landed at the airport, passengers began to disembark through the exit corridor. At the airport exit platform, the person picking them up had been waiting for some time.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Elfa?"
The driver looked at the imposing Caucasian man before him, then glanced behind him. Even though these few people had switched to civilian clothing, they couldn’t conceal the fierceness about them. He took a deep breath, "Please follow me."
The driver led the way, with Elfa and his group following behind.
A man from Lijia State with dreadlocks was chewing gum and scanning the area when he whistled at a beautiful woman.
Elfa frowned, "Bansi, we’re in Yan Country, behave."
The man from Lijia State, Bansi, didn’t care, "Boss, what about Yan Country? I’ve heard that we foreigners are considered superior here."
A lascivious smile appeared on his face.
"Exactly, the people of Yan Country are too arrogant, even bragging that Yan Country is a no-go zone for mercenaries. Ha, if it weren’t for the strict gun law here that restricts our abilities, I’d have come earlier to show them what I’m capable of."
"Hey, kid, can you find me some Yan Country girls?"
Bansi stepped forward, slinging his arm over the driver’s shoulder and speaking in broken Yan Country language—this phrase he had cram-studied. Coming to Yan Country and not spending a night with some local girls would be a waste.
The driver, who understood Federation language, naturally grasped the foreigners’ conversation, feeling a mix of annoyance and embarrassment.
"I don’t facilitate that."
With that, the driver shrugged off the arm, leaving Bansi a bit annoyed.
The driver picked them up and drove them directly from the airport to Zhou You’s villa in the suburbs.
"Elfa." Zhou You recognized the Caucasian man entering; they knew each other, and the man was the deputy leader of the Lonely Wolf Mercenary Group.
Zhou You looked at the few people behind Elfa—only five in total—and he frowned, "Elfa, didn’t I ask you over the phone to send more people? Why did only a few of you come?"
Elfa replied, "Zhou, mass entry into a country isn’t easy. After all, your country isn’t like the small Lijia State, where customs are as easy as air."
Zhou You frowned, and Elfa continued, "Zhou, I’m just the spearhead. If needed, our company will naturally send more people. I want to know how Blood Rose Avril and the others died."
Zhou You glanced at Elfa and hmm’ed before turning and walking into the living room, handing over a document to Elfa.
"This is what I managed to gather."
"According to this, your people, unfortunately, encountered some others in the same profession. There were other assassins nearby at that time."
Elfa skimmed through the translated document, which was a conclusion from the police station.
Both groups came to kill Li Feng and coincidentally ran into each other, slaughtering each other, resulting in the annihilation of the sniper team, and one enemy body left behind.
Although Elfa had questions, he did not delve deeper but continued, "Zhou, we didn’t send just two people."
Zhou You hm’ed, looking up, "What do you mean?"
"The Military Governor sent a tactical team led by our company’s third ranked Blood Rose, who entered the country as tourists."
"If one team failed, Blood Rose would take action, but why is there no record of their whereabouts?"
Zhou You frowned, "The police only recorded these; I would not have known there were more people if you hadn’t told me."
"Didn’t you contact them?"
"They’ve gone missing. It looks likely that they met with some disaster."
Zhou You gasped, "Then this matter is undoubtedly related to that Li Feng."
Elfa nodded and then looked at Zhou You, "Zhou, this is your territory, do you know where Li Feng is? I want to ask him in person."
Zhou You shook his head.
"He shook off my men, but he will call me at noon. This man is skilled in Kung Fu and is very confident. He claims he came to Yunhai exactly to kill me."
"Zhou, we need some weapons!"
Zhou You shook his head again, "Elfa, I can’t provide you with firearms; that would attract too much attention. The last incident already drew a lot of notice, and if I were to act again, it would definitely bring disaster."
"Besides, if it’s just one man, can’t you deal with him without guns?"
"Ha, he’s just a skinny monkey. I actually want to see his Yan Country Kung Fu," Bansi said with a sneer.
"Still, Zhou, after we deal with this skinny monkey, you better find me some girls to have a good time."
Zhou You looked at him and snorted internally, "Alright, if you can take him down, that won’t be a problem."
Bansi chuckled, completely dismissing Li Feng.
Time ticked away, and soon it was noon. As the clock struck twelve, the noon bell echoed.
"Dong, dong, dong...!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
Simultaneously, Zhou You’s phone buzzed right on time. He took a deep breath and answered.
Li Feng sat on a park bench, "Zhou You, it’s twelve o’clock, the game officially begins."
"So, let me explain my game rules. This is a game of hunting and counter-hunting. Every three hours, I’ll send you a location, and you can send people to kill me. If you succeed, the game ends. By tomorrow at noon, the first round ends."
"After the first round, I will be the one coming after you. You better hide well. If I find you, I will not hesitate to take you down."
"Of course, if this repeats three times, totaling six days, and neither of us has killed the other, this feud will be resolved. If either of us dies during this period, the game also ends."
"These are my game rules."
"Now that you understand, let’s start the first round of the game. After I hang up, I will send you the location information."
With that, Li Feng, without a moment’s hesitation, ended the call and sent a location to Zhou You using his GPS.
Zhou You received the information, "West Mountain Square."
