At the window of the second-floor corridor of the倾国倾城 (Qingguo Qincheng), Ye Huang and Chu Tiange watched every move of Canyue and Gulong.
Ye Huang had never doubted his sixth sense, and naturally, he wouldn't this time either. To lure the other party out, Ye Huang pretended to be puzzled for a moment before leading Chu Tiange to a corner of the second floor, peering from behind the curtain at the place they had just left.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before they saw Canyue and Gulong approaching Qingguo Qincheng from two different directions.
"Brother! Who are they?" Seeing the sharp gazes of Canyue and Gulong, Chu Tiange couldn't help but ask.
"Canyue and Gulong from the North Star. I never thought I'd see them here..." Ye Huang recognized the two the moment they appeared.
"People from the North Star? Why are they here? Isn't the North Star always active in Europe?"
Hearing Ye Huang's words, Chu Tiange was startled. As a core member of the military, Chu Tiange was well aware of the North Star, the world's second-ranked assassination organization, second only to the Crescent Moon.
The North Star's activities in recent years were mostly concentrated in Europe and America, and they rarely appeared in Asia due to the complex power dynamics. The sudden appearance of two top assassins made Chu Tiange even more nervous.
Each of these two was far stronger than Chu Tiange himself. One of them could dominate a region, and now both were here. Could it be that Brother had offended the North Star?
Although he knew Ye Huang was involved in the assassination world, Chu Tienge didn't know much about Ye Huang's past.
"The situation in the assassination world has changed, and so have the areas of activity. In the past, the Crescent Moon controlled most of the assassination world, but now that the Crescent Moon has disappeared, the North Star is expanding. As long as there's profit to be made, assassins can appear anywhere, even on the battlefield!"
Ye Huang laughed and said casually. A year ago, before he left the Crescent Moon, he had caused significant damage to the organization, and now they had retreated to an unknown location. The North Star, after two years of lying low, was now rising strongly. What surprised Ye Huang was why Canyue and Gulong, who had completely different personalities, were working together, and it seemed their target was his group.
"No wonder! Brother, they're after you. When did you offend them?" Chu Tiange asked again.
"Do assassins need a reason to kill? I have no grudges with them, but if someone pays enough to eliminate me, someone will always show up. Let's go. I hope they're not here for me, or you'll all be in trouble."
Ye Huang gave Chu Tiange a look and turned to leave the window, heading towards the private room where Xiao Lin and the other women were.
"Killed over a hundred of their people in three years, how could there be no grudges?" Ye Huang muttered to himself as he walked.
Back when Ye Huang was still in the Crescent Moon, there were constant conflicts with the North Star. Initially, Ye Huang didn't pay much attention to the harassment, but when they targeted Feng Ling, it touched his sore spot. In one night, he massacred an entire branch of the North Star, leaving no survivors.
It was from that night on that Ye Huang's title of Blood Asura began to resonate in the assassination world.
Unlike Ye Huang, who was still leisurely admiring the famous paintings inside Qingguo Qincheng, Chu Tiange was already feeling uneasy.
If Canyue and Gulong weren't after them, everything would be fine. But if they were, it could lead to a major disaster.
The room full of girls, Xiao Lin and Luo Yumo were unknown, but the other two had very deep backgrounds. If something happened, it would be difficult for the Chu family to explain.
"Brother, should we take them away from here? It's getting dangerous," Chu Tiange asked anxiously.
"Leave here? Tiange, have you been in the military too long? The most dangerous place might be the safest. If you really take them out, and they have plans for one of the girls, they could just blow up your car halfway. What would you do then?"
"Assassins operate differently from the military. Sometimes you need to change your way of thinking. You can take the leader to a safe place because you have layers of protection, but now it's just the two of us."
"Do you understand?" Ye Huang patted Chu Tiange, who was still thinking in military terms, and continued.
"Don't worry, it's just Canyue and Gulong. No big deal. If they really want to, we'll just add some fertilizer to the land of Yucheng today."
Hearing Ye Huang's casual words, Chu Tiange was stunned.
Although he knew his brother was very strong, these were the top assassins of the second-ranked assassination organization, and there were two of them. How could they be dealt with?
Chu Tiange looked at Ye Huang with disbelief, regretting that he had agreed to bring the girls out at Qing Yun's request.
Seeing Chu Tiange's puzzled expression, Ye Huang understood that he still didn't believe him. He took out a ring from his pocket and showed it to Chu Tiange.
"Feel better now? Nothing will happen today. Go up and keep the girls company. It wasn't easy to get them out today."
Ye Huang laughed and ignored Chu Tiange, who was still behind him.
When Ye Huang showed the ring to Chu Tiange, he was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief.
On the ring was engraved a pattern of an Asura, which made Chu Tiange even more shocked.
"Blood... Blood Asura! Brother..."
Chu Tiange called out in excitement and hurried after Ye Huang, who was walking away.
