The twelfth floor of the hotel.
A fierce battle was underway, with over a dozen female guards desperately protecting Xibeya.
Although these female guards were strong, they were clearly weaker than the Yellow-grade members of the Dark Association. Only four of Xibeya’s personal female guards were slightly stronger.
However, there was still a significant gap between the two sides.
About ten Yellow-grade members had already joined the fight, and four more were clearly yet to arrive. Once they joined, these Saudi female guards would be unable to resist.
Ye Cangtian mingled within the battle, playing a supporting role while observing the situation.
“The Dragon Group members haven’t appeared yet! What are they waiting for?”
Perhaps they were waiting for the bigger fish, the Silver-faced operative, Xuan Sixteen!
After all, while Yellow-grade members were numerous, the true core of the Dark Association were those Silver-faced operatives.
However, observing the situation, Ye Cangtian saw that the female guards were nearing their breaking point, with several already injured.
“Pfft!”
One female guard was stabbed through the heart by a Yellow-grade member and died on the spot.
The gap between the two sides widened, but the remaining female guards were incredibly tenacious. They fought with their lives on the line to protect Xibeya’s safety.
Therefore, despite the Dark Association’s significant advantage, it wasn’t easy to quickly defeat these Saudi female guards and successfully kill Xibeya.
Finally, a voice was heard, “Everyone, stop dawdling and quickly kill the Saudi princess!”
Xuan Sixteen, wearing a silver mask, arrived, accompanied by two other Yellow-grade members, who also joined the fray.
Initially, Xuan Sixteen had not intended to intervene at this point, as no one could be certain if any Dragon Group members were lurking in the shadows.
However, he hadn't expected that over ten Yellow-grade members would struggle to defeat these female guards, forcing him to reveal himself.
Under Xuan Sixteen’s leadership, everyone charged towards Xibeya.
The female guards couldn't even hold their own against a group of Yellow-grade members, let alone the much stronger Silver-faced stewards.
But at this very moment!
Figures darted out from various rooms, and the Dragon Group members finally appeared.
“Dragon Group members!”
Xuan Sixteen’s expression turned grim as he saw the numerous Dragon Group members, at least over a dozen.
He knew with certainty that the Dragon Group had been lying in ambush here, waiting for his arrival.
“We have a traitor among us!” Xuan Sixteen said solemnly.
The dozen or so Yellow-grade members stopped, looking at each other in confusion. Was the traitor among them?
Who could it be?
Huang Thirteen felt a surge of nervousness upon hearing this, then he looked around curiously, his gaze falling on the curvaceous Huang Yi, and then on Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian felt Huang Thirteen looking at him but didn’t care. As long as Zhang Liang didn’t expose him, who would know he was the traitor?
Moreover, there were quite a few Dragon Group members present, probably all the Dragon Group members stationed in the capital.
Among them, he even saw a familiar face.
Yang Li, the pursuer of Xu Weiwei, who always saw him as a love rival!
Besides Zhang Liang, there was another squad leader among the minor captains, a burly man, who was now laughing heartily, “You bastards from the Dark Association, you’ve fallen into Grandpa’s hands this time, and none of you will escape!”
Although Xuan Sixteen’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, he showed no fear.
Even though the Dragon Group had ambushed them with superior numbers, he wasn't about to be captured by these two squad leaders alone.
Furthermore, he wasn't completely unprepared.
Xuan Sixteen sneered, “Who said I’m running?”
Zhang Liang and the burly man were taken aback. Just then, laughter echoed from a distance.
“Sixteen, you almost messed up such a simple mission as assassinating the Saudi princess. Your competence is truly lacking!”
A figure leaped through the window. It was a young man with a somewhat effeminate voice, his hair even reaching his shoulders.
If not for the Adam’s apple visible at his neck, anyone would have mistaken him for a woman.
Xuan Sixteen looked at the effeminate youth and said helplessly, “Ninth Brother, it seems we have a traitor among our Yellow-grade members. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been ambushed!”
“Traitor?”
The effeminate youth looked at Ye Cangtian and the dozen or so Yellow-grade members with a playful smile. His lips curled mockingly, “This is getting interesting!”
These Yellow-grade members were all gathered temporarily, usually serving under various Silver-faced operatives. Rather than a Yellow-grade member being the traitor, it was more likely that a Silver-faced operative within the Dark Association had a problem.
“There’s no use discussing this now. Once the Saudi princess is dead, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation internally!” the effeminate youth said with a cold snort.
Xuan Sixteen nodded and addressed all the Yellow-grade members, “Listen to my command, kill the Saudi princess at all costs. Whoever succeeds will be awarded the highest merit by the organization!”
Some Yellow-grade members were excited. Although the Dragon Group and the Saudi delegation now outnumbered them, they still had two stewards on their side.
Therefore, they were not at a disadvantage and still had a chance to kill the Saudi princess.
Killing the Saudi princess would earn them the highest merit, and the organization’s rewards would be substantial, enough to make these Yellow-grade members fight desperately.
The battle resumed, and the two sides were once again locked in a melee.
Amidst the crowd, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly. The Dragon Group was well-prepared this time, weren't they? With over a dozen Dragon Group members deployed, if they coordinated with the Saudi delegation, it would be difficult to capture Xuan Sixteen, but these Yellow-grade members clearly wouldn’t escape.
However, now the Dark Association had an additional Silver-faced powerhouse appearing out of nowhere.
With two Silver-faced operatives and over a dozen Yellow-grade members, their lineup was comparable to that of the Dragon Group and the Saudi delegation.
Ye Cangtian hesitated whether to make a move. If he did, neither of these two Silver-faced operatives would be a match for him.
But if he acted, his identity would be exposed, rendering his undercover role as Xuan Jiu useless in the future.
While contemplating this, he was fighting someone. He looked up and realized his opponent was Yang Li from the Dragon Group.
Yang Li’s strength wasn’t particularly great. He had only joined the Dragon Group this year, and his strength barely met the Dragon Group’s threshold.
For Ye Cangtian, such strength posed no threat whatsoever.
However, Ye Cangtian didn’t mind playing along. He was here to play it safe anyway, and he wondered if he should take this opportunity to beat the guy up later.
This fellow sometimes gave him hostile looks, which annoyed him.
Yang Li, engaged in combat, frowned. The Dark Association member he was facing seemed stronger than him, as the opponent dodged every attack preemptively.
Yang Li gritted his teeth and exclaimed angrily, “Why aren’t you fighting me properly?”
“Because you’re not worthy!” Ye Cangtian, wearing a bronze mask, said with a playful smile.
Yang Li became even more enraged. Did this mean he was being looked down upon?
In an instant, his attacks became more aggressive, his fighting spirit soaring!
