867 West Valley

The man raised his head and furrowed his eyebrows. "Where did you come from? It's dangerous to pass by the West Valley."

Wan Xiong smiled bitterly. "I have heard about that, but I didn't encounter anything on my way."

"Then you're lucky. There's rumor about the appearance of a monster who attacks people from last year." The man shook his head. "We've already reported this to the authorities and they're going to come in the Winter."

Nan Hua listened from a distance.

The authorities these people mentioned should be people from Zhang Xu Kingdom, which was why Hui Ling would no longer be in the West Valley again when the war started. No wonder she didn't know him at all.

"That will be more reassuring." Wan Xiong smiled. He was the only one who came forward while Nan Si and Nan Hua naturally stayed hidden. They could easily hide inside the shadow and with their smaller frame, they were harder to find.

Ji Han Yu was carrying Hui Ling like a potato sack. After all, Nan Hua had no intention of taking the needle back and allowed Hui Ling to run around. This made him looked like he abducted children.

Though, Hui Ling was as silent as a mute.

He stayed still without struggling in the slightest bit.

The man nodded and fixed his large hat. "We rarely had any visitor. Why did you come here?"

"I was looking for a kid name Hui Ling and his parents."

"Hui Ling?" The man frowned before laughing. "You mean, the son of that whore?"

Hui Ling's body stiffened when he heard the man saying that word. However, Ji Han Yu tightened his grip over the boy while he listened to the conversation between Wan Xiong and the man.

No wonder that the Night Rat Organization was able to collect a lot of information.

Their people were also very good at disguising and acting as another person. There was no way one would be able to think that Wan Xiong was a great martial artist by the way he carried himself.

'Should I also practice acting?'

After thinking for a moment, Ji Han Yu threw the thought to the back of his mind. If he couldn't get the answer, he would just simply torture them. That was much easier rather than racking his brain to figure out other methods.

"Hmm?"

"You don't know? That b*tch is too busy serving so many people that she didn't have time to take care of her son. No one even know who that b*stard father either. Anyway, that b*tch died last year and her son disappeared ever since. No one would care for him either way." The man shrugged.

"I see. Thank you very much." Wan Xiong cupped his fist and controlled his expression very well.

"You're welcome. Why are you looking for him anyway? I don't think you're related to that b*tch since you don't look alike."

Wan Xiong smiled bitterly internally. He didn't even know who that woman is since he had never seen the other party. Anyway, he only came here to gain some information about Hui Ling because it was strange to find a boy on the street like that.

He had gotten what he needed from them.

"I just heard about him from my friend who's their relative."

"I see. Don't waste your time looking for him, no one here would know anyway." The man turned around. "Oh, if you want to visit their home, it's located at the remote hill over there. The house should be abandoned by now."

"Thank you for the information."

Wan Xiong gave courtesy before walking away and looked at Ji Han Yu. He knew very well that Ji Han Yu was not the type to use his brain that much even if he knew how to use some simple tactics.

He ignored Ji Han Yu and cupped his fist towards Nan Hua. "Young Miss, it's done."

Nan Hua looked at Wan Xiong.

This man purposely followed them in order to find out more about Master Jiu. He had heard the way Ji Han Yu called her and naturally realized that the person who was under the codename of Nine was actually a hidden leader.

Smart.

And tactful.

It was no wonder that he become the sole survivor from that incident in the past and could live until this long. Using his brain and analytical ability, he managed to deduce many things with just little information.

Ji Han Yu's body stiffened as he prepared to attack Wan Xiong. If Wan Xiong were to leak out the fact that they had a hidden leader, it wouldn't do good for Dark Moon Organization.

It was not the time yet.

Nan Hua raised her hand to stop Ji Han Yu. "What do you want?"

Wan Xiong was silent for a moment. Aside from the personal request that he had raised back then, there was just one more thing that he wanted.

"I wish to be able to be in charge of information gathering while also attend some important mission."

He didn't want to just stay behind and look through the information other people had gathered. Even though he was the leader, he liked to work on the field on his own because it gave him a sense of achievement.

Besides, he had to be prepared too.

"You can start from Wei Da Kingdom with Ji Han Yu."

Ji Han Yu arched his eyebrows and snorted. He didn't really have good impression of Wan Xiong, but he had to work together with the other party.

How upsetting.

"Yes, Young Miss."

"The cleanup is done. All that's left is to take care of the other tribes." Nan Hua looked into the distance.

Ji Han Yu grinned when the matter of the tribes was mentioned. There were several tribes who were living in the Xia mountains at the East area because the Night Rat Organization let them stayed there.

"Leave them to me."

"Subdue those who are willing to submit and eliminate those who are unwilling." Nan Hua's eyes flashed.

She will take over the entire Xia Mountains' East Area under Dark Moon Organization.
