"Boss, two pieces of news."
The call connected, and Snake on the other end cut to the chase.
The first piece of news was that someone was watching the area around the family compound, and these people were likely from the Guangming Hall.
Not only the family compound but also the Reaper Squad, who had just arrived in Huaxia, were being watched.
However, the watchers had been captured by Rose, but due to a moment's carelessness, the target had committed suicide by poison.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's brows immediately furrowed.
It was normal for the family compound to be watched. During the previous Dames operation, the family compound had already been exposed.
It was normal for Guangming Hall to monitor the family compound or attempt to assassinate Xu Weiwei.
But the Reaper Squad being watched was not normal.
As Snake had said, the Reaper Squad had just returned to Huaxia, and not many people knew their base.
How did Guangming Hall find out?
Could it be that a traitor among the Huaxia forces had sold the Reaper Squad's information to Guangming Hall?
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian said darkly, "Snake, did Rose manage to find out where they got your location from?"
"They died too quickly after taking the poison, before they could tell us anything."
Listening to Snake's reply, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed.
From the current situation, there were roughly three main targets.
The first was him, although they should not dare to act directly against him, at most they would target those around him.
For example, Tang Xinwan, Nancy, or Gu Yue and Gu Qin, who lived by his side.
The second was the family compound.
If Xu Weiwei, as the new Dragon Head, could be assassinated, it would greatly restore the prestige lost by Guangming Hall.
The third was the Reaper Squad.
As the Reaper Squad that assisted him in burning down Guangming Hall, they were naturally a group that Guangming Hall hated to the bone.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian revealed a cold smile. Guangming Hall was truly insane. How easy would it be to deal with them?
After a moment, Ye Cangtian spoke again, "Alright, what's the second piece of news you wanted to tell me?"
Snake quickly replied, "In the sea area, the irregular troops of Guangming Outer Hall have landed on the small island where we were previously stationed. They suffered heavy losses and have already retreated. I will send you the video later."
The small island had already been equipped with cameras by Scorpion. Through remote control, Snake had obtained information about the island.
"Good!"
Hearing Snake's words, Ye Cangtian acknowledged, then hung up the phone.
A moment later, the video was sent to Ye Cangtian's phone.
Ye Cangtian directly opened the video and watched it.
Since Guangming Hall landed on the island, there had been combat losses, and the losses were rapidly increasing.
The island was full of traps and landmines. A slight mistake could trigger an attack.
The commander of Guangming Hall did not care about such combat losses.
Most of the dead were mercenaries from the less powerful Duomu mercenary group, as well as some black-robed bishops and divine envoys. Their overall combat strength had not been significantly weakened.
Moreover, in the eyes of the commander, these heavy losses were enough to prove that the Reaper Squad was on this island.
Therefore, the commander madly ordered attacks, regardless of the cost, to eliminate the Reaper Squad.
However, after suffering heavy losses and conquering the entire island, they discovered that the entire island was empty.
Not even a single hair of the Reaper Squad was found.
This result angered the commander of Guangming Hall so much that he vomited blood and fainted. Soon after, Guangming Hall withdrew their troops.
Heh heh.
Looking at the tragic scene of Guangming Hall, Ye Cangtian showed a strange smile.
Although the losses of Guangming Outer Hall were not tragic, the Duomu mercenary group was essentially crippled, equivalent to removing the claws of Guangming Outer Hall.
To achieve such a record through remote control, it had to be said that it was a job well done...
...
Endless sea.
The warships of the Golden Armor Knights were lined up, facing the Huaxia warships.
On the deck, Arthur slowly lowered his binoculars, his face becoming extremely grim. He clenched his fists tightly and, after a long time, uttered a single word: 'Retreat.'
Unwilling!
But it was also within reason.
Originally, he led the Golden Armor Knights and wanted to make a big move while Guangming Outer Hall was attacking the Reaper Squad.
After all, compared to other Huaxia forces, the Reaper Squad was closer to Ye Cangtian.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian's first choice should have been to support the Reaper Squad, which would have given him the opportunity to display his prowess.
However, as soon as he picked up his binoculars to scan the situation, he was shocked to discover that the person standing on the main Huaxia warship was Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian was lying on a lounge chair on the deck, holding a wine glass, as if basking in the sun, completely ignoring the battle in front of him.
And beside him stood several familiar figures, Shangguan Yun of the Huaxia Dragon Group, Xu Shi'an, and others.
Although these people were not strong, Ye Cangtian alone made Arthur fearful.
That was the man who could sever the Pope's arm. How could he be his opponent?
If they were to forcibly engage in battle, even the Golden Armor Knights might not gain any advantage.
It was with this thought that Arthur decisively chose to retreat, to create some distance first.
Now, he could only hope that Guangming Outer Hall and the Elino Squad could achieve good results.
At the same time, on another main warship, Shangguan Yun looked at the retreating Guangming Hall warships and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
He proactively picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Guiwu, you're such a good actor!"
"These fools were completely scared away."
Hearing Xu Shi'an's voice, the 'Ye Cangtian' lying on the lounge chair suddenly showed a wicked smile, but Guiwu's voice came out of his mouth.
"Sister's acting deserves an Oscar!"
"But such a wicked plan wasn't my idea; it was all that scoundrel boss's idea..."
Guiwu said as she drank the red wine in one gulp.
This plan was indeed Ye Cangtian's idea.
After the battle with Guangming Hall, Ye Cangtian believed that everyone was filled with fear regarding his strength.
Therefore, if they saw him, they would at least retreat a considerable distance, if not outright flee.
Thus, Ye Cangtian came up with this plan. Fortunately, Guiwu was skilled in disguise, and as long as she was careful, it would be difficult for them to see through it.
Of course, Ye Cangtian also had his own goals.
On one hand, he did not want to see a scene of confrontation and bloodshed.
On the other hand, he wanted to confuse Guangming Hall, making them believe that he had gone to the sea area, thereby allowing Elino in Kyoto to act with confidence.
This was also why Ye Cangtian had a simple disguise and sent Tang Xinwan to work.
...
Night fell.
In a hotel in Kyoto, Elino's phone rang.
Seeing that it was Arthur, who was in the sea area, Elino directly answered the call and learned that Ye Cangtian had gone to the sea area.
Elino did not doubt this news at all.
Because during the two days in Kyoto, his subordinates had not been able to capture Ye Cangtian's whereabouts.
After hanging up the phone, Elino directly looked to the side and said, "Garland, notify everyone, the operation will begin at midnight tonight!"
"Okay!"
Garland responded without hesitation and immediately agreed.
