1301 A Tricky New Situation!
When Jian Ai heard this, the smile on her face disappeared, and she immediately became serious. “Is there something on Prince Qi Ye’s side?”
Andrew nodded and said, “His actions this time are a little unexpected. It’s different from what we have guessed before.”
When everyone heard this, they sat around. Chi Lian was the first to ask, “What did you mean by what you said just now? What did Prince Qi Ye secretly do?”
Andrew looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said, “I don’t know through what channels, but Prince Qi Ye contacted a very mysterious person. It was also through this person that he spent a lot of money to hire eight international killers.”
“Only eight people?”
Jian Ai was surprised.
It had to be known that an organization with over a thousand people in the mercenary group could not help Prince Qi Ye assassinate Bai Zhou. Now, Prince Qi Ye spent a lot of money to hire just eight killers? This was a little puzzling.
Unless…
Bai Zhou thought for a moment and said, “My brother is not a confused person. These eight killers must have something outstanding that ordinary people don’t.”
“You mean these eight killers might all have special abilities?” Chi Lian frowned and asked.
Bai Zhou nodded, and Jian Ai thought so too. “As Bai Zhou said, Prince Qi Ye is not a sucker. Since he’s willing to spend money, these eight people must have the ability to convince him. If they didn’t have special abilities, I can’t think of any other reason.”
Andrew nodded slightly and affirmed Jian Ai’s and Bai Zhou’s guess. “You’re right. Gale and Louise did a deeper investigation. Other than a few people who are difficult to approach, specific information they found are about special ability users.”
Chi Yang was slightly shocked. “All eight of them?”
Andrew said solemnly, “I’m almost certain.”
Everyone could not help but look at each other in shock. After all, a super powerful international organization like the mercenary group only had Irene, Andrew, and the other three ability users under them.
However, now, Prince Qi Ye had hired eight ability users through a secret middleman. It was unknown where they found these people from. The mysterious middleman behind this was probably not a simple identity.
“I have photos and some information about these people. Everyone can look!” Andrew said and placed the printed information and photos on the table.
Everyone’s corresponding information and photos were bound together. Jian Ai picked one up and looked at it.
Name: Edward.
Gender: Male.
Age: Twenty-eight years old.
Nationality: Country M.
Ability: His hair has a special ability to control its length at will. The ends of the hair are as sharp as needles.
Jian Ai frowned. What kind of strange ability was this?
They arranged the information of the killers that they investigated in the same format. They did not describe the abilities in detail, but they had a rough idea.
“Sect Master, look at this person!”
At this moment, Chi Yang suddenly handed the information in his hand to Jian Ai with a solemn expression.
Jian Ai paused and reached out to take it. Then, she looked down.
This was… Lei!
Name: Lei.
Gender: Male.
Age: Twenty-three years old.
Nationality: San Marino.
Ability: Use of lightning strikes. Extremely lethal!
The way they described the ability could be said to be superficial. Jian Ai had a deep impression of this person. Lei’s strength was terrifying. Back then, Si Yue, Xiao Zhen, and Chi Yang were at a disadvantage even when they joined forces.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, they met this person again!
“It’s him?”
Si Yue also saw the information in Jian Ai’s hand and his expression darkened.
Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but look at him questioningly. Bai Zhou couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Have you seen this person before?”
Jian Ai nodded. “Do you still remember the battle in the western suburbs of Baiyun in the summer? You used your ability to find my location. Xiao Zhen and the rest rushed over as support, but they almost couldn’t defeat the other party. At that time, it was this person who used lightning!”
Bai Zhou naturally wouldn’t forget. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but frown and say, “I remember that someone resolved your siege at that time? This person is powerful, and he’s not easy to deal with!”
Jian Ai nodded and admitted, “That’s right. This person is quite powerful. What I’m worried about now is that if these people are experts of the same level as him, we won’t be able to handle them!”
Everyone’s expressions were slightly solemn, and this was not what gave them the most headache. Andrew suddenly took out two photos and threw them in front of everyone. “These two are the most troublesome.”
Everyone focused their eyes. In the photo was an Asian woman and a White man.
Jian Ai picked it up and flipped to the back. There was no information.
“These are the ones with no information?” Jian Ai asked.
Andrew nodded. “These two people are very vigilant. From the pursuit, Gale and Louise felt they were very powerful, especially this man. He almost discovered Louise under her invisibility ability. Fortunately, she hid quickly. Otherwise, something would have happened.”
At this moment, Bai Zhou asked, “Have these eight people seen my brother?”
Andrew shook his head. “No, there are many rules for international killers. There’s a mysterious middleman between these eight people and Prince Qi Ye. According to the rules, they can’t cross this person and contact their employer without permission.”
“They just have to wait for the employer to issue the mission and the middleman to convey it. They will carry it out.”
Irene, who had been silent, said, “I think it’s better for us to strike first and take the initiative before the other party can react.”
Irene’s thoughts were the same as Jian Ai and Bai Zhou’s. Jian Ai continued, “Irene is right. These eight people have different nationalities and are in different places. Taking advantage of the fact that they haven’t gathered together, we’ll defeat them one by one. It’s the most effective solution now.”
Because if it was as Jian Ai thought, and these eight people were as strong as the man called Lei, with some of them even stronger than him, that would be too troublesome.
Once the eight of them gathered in Baiyun City to attack Bai Zhou, it would be a fierce battle. They did not know who would win or lose because they did not clearly understand the other party’s strength.
When Chi Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but say worriedly, “But if that’s the case, won’t Master be exposed? If something happened to the people Prince Qi Ye hired, he must know that Master already knows that he’s going to attack Master.”
Bai Zhou immediately snorted. “Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to stand up. Brother is so generous. If I don’t react, won’t I be letting him down?”
