Despite turning warm because she was boiling with anger, she shivered uncontrollably, as if she was being overwhelmed with unbearably cold temperatures.
Her eyes turned red and tears of determination welled up in them as they appeared icy cold and menacing.
Si Yiyan could not help but take pity on her. He held her in his arms and tried to give her some of his warmth. “That’s how scary the Korean-Chinese Alliance is. Those whom they have set their sights on will never get to escape. The alliance always manages to achieve its goals.”
He knew that now was not the time for him to reveal so much to Wen Xinya. However, there was no escape for her at all, now that the Wen Corporation was facing a conspiracy plotted against them by the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
If he could choose, he would rather she not get involved in this mess and let him deal with the alliance instead. After all… the Korean-Chinese Alliance was way too mysterious and unpredictable. Although they had already targeted Wen Xinya, the only thing holding them back from touching her was Old Mr. Mo whom they feared greatly. However… Si Yiyan could not guarantee that she would still be safe if she were to get involved.
He believed that he could protect Wen Xinya, but… he had never wanted her to be threatened or harmed.
However… he knew clearly how much the Wen Family meant to Wen Xinya, as well as… the fact that she could not stay out of it completely because she was now the Wen Family’s successor. Besides… she had to avenge her mother’s death.
Extremely angered, Wen Xinya remarked, “This organization is so formidable, despicable and vicious. Throughout all these years, has no one tried to stop them?”
Justice was always served. Hence, Wen Xinya refused to believe that the Korean-Chinese Alliance was so invincible that no one could deal with them.
Si Yiyan answered, “It’s not that no one has tried to stop them, but rather, the organization is way too mysterious and good at hiding. They hide in the dark and blend into the crowd like a grain of sand on the beach. Their members don’t even know each other and have never been in contact either. There’s a specialized member for every mission and the specialized member is usually the one furthest away from the core of the organization. Sometimes, they don’t even know that they’re working for this organization. The leads will usually end at these specialized members who mean nothing to the organization at all. Hence, they don’t mind sacrificing their members so long as they achieve their goals.”
He had been in a few conflicts and showdowns with the Korean-Chinese Alliance in Italy, during which he removed all of the authorities of the alliance in Italy. As a result, he forged a feud with the alliance.
Wen Xinya rubbed her aching head, finding the matter about the Korean-Chinese Alliance to be too incomprehensible and complex. “So this organization is just unbreakable.”
The most terrifying thing was not having an opponent who was too invincible for you, but rather, it was having an invincible opponent whose identity you were clueless about. It was a kind of fear that would erode one’s willpower right from the start. That was the most capable thing about the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Si Yiyan nodded and said, “You may say so.”
The fact that he didn’t sound too firm, simply meant that the organization was not that perfect. “You seem to be very familiar with the Korean-Chinese Alliance.”
Si Yiyan seemed to have known a lot about the organization when he was explaining it to her. Given how secretive they were, he shouldn’t have known that much.
Si Yiyan said, “I have old ties with the Korean-Chinese Alliance. I forged a feud with them when I returned to Italy from Russia and became the leader of Xiasi Group.”
He then briefly recounted everything that happened.
For the past few years, he had been continuously analyzing the matter involving the Korean-Chinese Alliance, without missing out on a single detail. He even tried to analyze their psychological viewpoint in a bid to find their Achilles’ heel and loopholes.
Perhaps, most people would find it to be a trivial matter that was not worth paying attention to.
However, Si Yiyan knew an expert surgeon who was already in his eighties and had never once failed in the countless number of surgeries he performed throughout his life.
The surgeon told Si Yiyan that he began dissecting rats when he was ten, all the way until he was forty years old. He only began performing surgeries on the operating table when he was 40 years old.
Even until now, he still practiced dissecting rats.
Now, he only needed two seconds to dissect a rat and the rats would often still be moving about after the dissection. So… one might receive an unexpected benefit by repeating the same procedure over and over again.
The anger within Wen Xinya vanished after she heard his words and she suddenly felt much calmer. “Yan… you’re really something. You actually managed to annihilate the Korean-Chinese Alliance and make them undergo restructuring. Seems like they’re not that invincible!”
Now that she had Si Yiyan by her side, Wen Xinya suddenly felt that the Korean-Chinese Alliance was not as scary as she had imagined and that she still had the chance to take revenge for her mother. Hence, the thought of it made her heave a huge sigh of relief.
Si Yiyan said, “That may be the case, but it’s not that easy to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance. This time, Gu Yuexi managed to discover some of the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s snitches in Lucifer. I reckon they had been planted in Lucifer when my father was still alive. It’s difficult to get rid of them completely and give them all a warning.”
Fortunately, the wipeout of traitors in Lucifer conducted by the brilliant Gu Yuexi allowed these people to be exposed. Otherwise, they would bring about huge problems for Lucifer in the future.
Wen Xinya finally understood that the internal management department of Lucifer had been infiltrated by the Korean-Chinese Alliance. It was no wonder that Si Yiyan did not pester her like he usually would during the three days of her break. Instead, he seemed to be extremely busy.
Feeling a little worried, she asked, “How are things going now? Lucifer didn’t suffer any losses or damage, did it?”
Si Yiyan said, “No. There won’t be any issues with Gu Yuexi around.”
If it weren’t because of Gu Yuexi, he wouldn’t be able to accompany her in peace. Instead, he would have flown to Russia to take charge of Lucifer and resolve the matter.
Wen Xinya finally heaved a sigh of relief. She suddenly looked at Si Yiyan with a look of determination in her eyes. “Although the alliance is mysterious, complicated and unpredictable, I won’t let them off for killing my mother. I’ll definitely avenge my mother.”
She was small and weak now. Hence, she was no match for the formidable Korean-Chinese Alliance yet, and the only thing she should do now was to hurry up and become stronger so that she would be powerful enough to deal with them.
