Ye Tian's image was extracted, captured at the moment he looked up at the sky.
The bald man said, "I had someone investigate this person, and the results were very unfavorable. His identity cannot be traced in any organization! We even searched the entire internet, and there wasn't a single photo of him! Furthermore, he wasn't on the Baozhi Company's team-building roster."
A woman in her forties asked, "Boss, is it possible he's a bodyguard hired by the other party?"
The man with the bulbous nose shook his head. "A master of this caliber wouldn't work as a bodyguard."
The woman inquired, "Old Song, based on your experience, what level of master is this person?"
The man with the bulbous nose was silent for a few seconds before replying, "An sssss-class super master!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale with shock. Killer organizations worldwide had standard classifications, and an sssss-class target was already the strongest they could encounter. For instance, some Earth Immortals and masters of specialized martial arts were often sss+ or ssss-class. However, sssss-class existences were extremely rare.
The Boss said gravely, "If he's an sssss-class powerhouse, then we've likely provoked someone we shouldn't have!"
The man with the bulbous nose continued, "Boss, I suggest we disband the Six Paths Sect immediately and have everyone go into hiding. If such a powerful individual decides to retaliate against us, the Six Paths Sect faces the danger of annihilation."
The Boss remained silent for a few seconds before stating, "Alright. From this moment on, the Six Paths Sect will break into smaller units, and everyone will work from home..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice echoed from the doorway, "You're smart to hide. Unfortunately, it's too late."
Everyone was startled and looked towards the entrance. A young man walked in; it was Ye Tian.
The Boss's face turned ashen. How had he managed to enter, with over thirty guards stationed near their meeting room?
However, the man with the bulbous nose recognized Ye Tian instantly and exclaimed, "It's him, that sssss-class powerhouse!"
Inside the room, an Earth Immortal-level master suddenly lunged forward, moving like lightning towards Ye Tian, a dagger clutched in his hand.
Yet, before he could get close, Ye Tian struck him with a fist from mid-air, sending him flying. A fist imprint appeared on his chest, piercing straight through to his back. Upon landing, the Earth Immortal's orifices began to bleed. Ye Tian's single punch had ruptured his heart; even a divine being couldn't save him!
Seeing that their strongest member had been killed with one punch, everyone was overcome with intense fear.
The Boss of the Six Paths Sect knew that any resistance would be futile. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want, sir?"
Ye Tian replied, "Tell me who ordered the attack on Baozhi Company!"
The man remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Sir, we have professional ethics; we cannot reveal our client's information."
Ye Tian looked at him and said, "If you die, will your reputation still matter to you?"
The man retorted, "Even if I tell you, won't you kill me anyway?"
Ye Tian said coldly, "So you have to gamble. Without a gamble, you die for sure; with a gamble, there might be a sliver of hope."
As the man hesitated, the man with the bulbous nose suddenly asked, "Are you an Earth Immortal?"
Ye Tian glanced at him and said, "You have some insight."
The word "Earth Immortal" shattered the psychological defenses of the Six Paths Sect Boss. He said, "It's an international organization. We've collaborated with them several times before."
"You must know something about this organization," Ye Tian prompted.
"Later, I did have someone investigate. The ultimate owners behind this organization are some of the largest pharmaceutical companies internationally."
Ye Tian asked, "Tell me their names."
The man obediently listed the names of five companies, each one a household name. Two of them had annual revenues in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Ye Tian listened and then asked, "What was their offer?"
The man replied, "Five hundred million US dollars."
Ye Tian sneered, "Five hundred million, to buy the lives of over a hundred people."
He then took out his phone and called San Chong, asking them to bring their people.
Soon, members of the Linggu Sect arrived and took control of the area. Witnessing this, the group's despair deepened, and they all foresaw a grim future.
Ye Tian asked the assassin leader, "How many jobs has your company taken, and how much money have you earned?"
The assassin leader stated, "We've taken over three hundred jobs in total, with an average of sixty million per transaction."
Ye Tian nodded, then turned to San Chong and instructed, "Annihilate the Six Paths Sect completely and confiscate all their assets!"
