A list of up to 111 people suddenly appeared online.
Inside the container.
Rhode's face turned ashen when he saw the list.
His eyes, fixed on the computer screen, glinted with a sliver of hope.
He was angry.
Because he already knew James and the other two had escaped and been captured by the enemy, which led to him extracting this list.
He felt lucky—
Because, except for himself and Luna, no one else in the entire Rhode Group knew about this.
Fortunately, he had made a decisive move and confiscated all their mobile phones.
Otherwise, morale would have been shaken.
This operation, which the Rhode family had painstakingly orchestrated, would have ended in defeat.
He was certain.
With the exposure of this list, more White Belly Birds would become active across Europe and the Americas.
But what did that matter!?
These people were here for money anyway.
The Rhode family had also provided them with the most generous salaries.
Their deaths, or the deaths of their entire families, had no impact on Rhode.
Rhode only needed to ensure the safety of his wife and daughter!
Luna's family?
Heh.
Her nickname was White Widow.
She was the kind of person who was satisfied if she had enough to eat, and her family's hunger was of no concern.
"What do we do next?"
Luna sat beside Rhode, hooked her arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss.
"I'll make a call."
Rhode took out an encrypted phone and dialed.
Soon—
After Rhode had thoroughly reported the situation, a woman's voice drifted from the other end: "I saw that list a long time ago. Rhode, you did very well by confiscating those people's phones in time."
"Madam, you flatter me."
Even though it was just a phone call, Rhode still maintained a respectful demeanor.
"If I'm not mistaken,"
Madam continued, "there will definitely be more White Belly Birds appearing across Europe and the Americas. But there will also be some who are afraid of death and will try to scavenge for opportunities in the Black Water Forest. Heh, this is the perfect opportunity to reap a bountiful harvest. It's also an excellent chance to strike back and retaliate against the White Belly Birds."
Rhode nodded vigorously.
He had thought the same thing.
"I will dispatch true experts to assist you on the outskirts,"
Madam said. "Those who try to scavenge will do so at their own peril. If they go, they will never leave alive."
"Madam is wise—"
After Rhode flattered her, he cautiously asked, "Madam, what about Mary and the others?"
Mary was Rhode's wife.
He was risking his life here for the Rhode family, and now with the White Belly Birds rampant, Rhode was naturally concerned about the safety of his wife and daughters.
Madam's tone was nonchalant: "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements for them. Furthermore, I have gathered a large number of experts and am personally leading them to Gaul. I hope to surround and eliminate the White Belly Birds here."
Rhode let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked to the east, a sinister smile playing on his lips, thinking, "Those who are scavenging for opportunities should be discussing when to set off and come here to die, right?
The East—
This is the Eastern Land!!"
Shen Family.
More than a dozen people were seated in the main hall.
The Shen family head asked, "Did everyone see the list of 111 people?"
Everyone nodded.
The Shen family head then asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
The more than a dozen family heads present exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
"I suddenly summoned everyone here to tell you,"
The Shen family head said slowly, "that the mission to aid and rescue certain individuals in the Black Water Forest cannot be left solely to the disciples of the Gao, Qin, Li, and Chu families. It is time for us to act as well."
"Shen family head."
The Miao family head from Tianlong Province asked in a low voice, "Is it necessary for us to get involved in this matter? After all, we haven't made any moves before. The key point is that the person (referring to Li Wujiang's son) is still leisurely traveling in the south. Now that the White Belly Birds have appeared out of nowhere, more White Belly Birds will inevitably emerge. It's even less necessary for our disciples to take risks."
"Yes, yes."
The Feng family head from Tianbei also nodded vigorously. "If that person isn't going to die, why should we make sacrifices?"
Others also nodded in agreement.
They babbled on, suggesting they continue to feign ignorance as they had before.
After all, it wasn't them who had sent the Hu Slayer squad to the Black Water Forest.
Wasn't it better to continue hiding behind their computer screens, mocking that person's son through their keyboards, and calling him unworthy of his ancestors?
Disappointment flashed across the Shen family head's face.
He looked at Old Xu.
Ahem!
Old Xu coughed, "Everyone, who said that sending people there now is courting death?"
The Miao family head and others were stunned.
"It is certain that the reason this information appeared online proves that the enemy is extremely fearful and panicked due to the bloodbath orchestrated by the White Belly Birds!"
Old Xu explained slowly, "They had deserters, who were captured by some heroes on the periphery. With the appearance of this list, the enemy will be even more worried about their relatives being massacred, and their morale will be completely shattered, rendering them incapable of fighting! If one person flees, more will follow. What threat can a pack of stray dogs pose?"
The Miao family head and others appeared thoughtful.
"To put it bluntly, whoever goes to the Black Water Forest now is going to show off and snatch the credit!"
Old Xu laid his cards on the table. "In the past, it was correct to avoid their锋芒 when there was danger. But now, the enemies there have become stray dogs! Heh, perhaps just a quick trip there might result in encountering those who throw themselves into the net. But for us, this means credit and seniority."
The Miao family head and others felt as if they had been enlightened!
The Feng family head eagerly inquired, "Should we also form a White Belly Bird team and go to Europe and America?"
"Whoever goes to Europe and America is a fool."
The Shen family head said nonchalantly, "Because with the enemy's morale collapsing, Europe and America have become the most dangerous places. After all, with the exposure of the information on 111 people, Europe and America, especially the Rhode family, will inevitably send people to protect the families of those individuals. Going there at this time could easily lead to an accident. On the other hand, in the Black Water Forest, as long as we cast our net, the chances of catching stray dogs will greatly increase."
Old Xu and the others nodded vigorously in unison.
"Many people have been secretly slandering us, saying that our disciples have not gone to the Black Water Forest?"
The Shen family head stood up, his hands behind his back. "Now is the time for our elites to be fully deployed! Those people should be silenced."
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
It makes sense, it truly makes sense!
The key point is that after our elites are deployed, that person's son will still be indulging in debauchery in the south.
This will create a stark contrast.
The Miao family head and others couldn't help but clap their hands in admiration.
"When do we depart?"
Someone asked.
The Shen family head said, "The sooner, the better! And we must also let people know, through unintentional channels, that we have already dispatched our elites."
"Good!"
Someone else asked, "Then how many people should we send?"
The Shen family head asked, "How many people do you think the Zhang family will proactively send?"
The Zhang family head smiled. "I can guarantee that the disciples of my Zhang family will be eager to go."
"Heh, not just the Zhang family. I think all of you present will be eager to go, won't you?"
The Shen family head chuckled. "Let's do this. We have a total of 13 families, so let each family send two people. No one should compete; each family gets only two slices of cake!"
"Good."
Everyone reached a consensus and immediately put it into action.
Two in the morning.
Li Wujiang received a phone call.
"Let them go."
After listening to the other party, Li Wujiang said calmly, "Since my son isn't going, I have no right to point fingers."
After hanging up the phone.
Li Wujiang grumbled under his breath, "A bunch of cowards who hide when they see difficulty and rush to grab credit when they see an opportunity. Bah!"
At two in the morning in the Eastern Land, Gaul, which was six hours ahead, was eight in the evening.
Li Qianfan put on his hat, stuffed his hands into his pockets, and walked quickly into a hotel room.
After leaving the room, he glanced left and right down the corridor.
The corridor was silent.
Du Yaoyao and Bai Ziyan, who were staying in the rooms on either side of him, were likely in their rooms, looking at the list of 111 people.
This was a great opportunity for Li Qianfan to experience the charm of foreign beauties alone.
Heh heh.
Actually, Young Master Li had no interest in those fair-skinned beauties.
He would swear on his father's and grandfather's honor!
But that damned 209—
When having dinner with the two women, Li Qianfan's nose bled because Bai Ziyan was wearing a slightly more revealing outfit.
After 209 was activated, it was desperately craving.
Young Master Li couldn't control himself and decided to sneak out tonight and take a stroll around the Arc de Triomphe.
The Arc de Triomphe was the most famous gathering place for beautiful women in the romantic capital.
If you weren't picky, for tens or even ten euros, you could have an intimate interaction combining East and West with foreign beauties.
He knew this because he had quietly asked a waiter before dinner.
He had finally found an expert.
The waiter not only told him which place had the best quality women but also gave him a business card.
When Young Master Li went to the Arc de Triomphe, all he had to do was make that call to receive the super service he desired.
"In truth, I am pure, but alas."
As Li Qianfan pushed open the fire door to the stairs, he felt ashamed of himself for going out to solicit prostitutes alone and was sincerely blaming himself when he suddenly stopped.
Du Yaoyao—
When had she appeared, with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall behind the door, looking at him with mocking eyes?
