Huang Shisan was actually Shangguan Yun?
This made Ye Cangtian somewhat speechless. This fellow was a young master from one of the eight great families in the capital, yet he had joined the Dark Association and become a Yellow-ranked member.
In fact, after interacting with Shangguan Yun over the past two days, Ye Cangtian had a rather good impression of this guy, at least he didn't have the airs of a young master from a prominent family.
Moreover, he had even helped him out of a predicament at a dance party!
Now that he knew Huang Shisan was Shangguan Yun, Ye Cangtian had no intention of revealing his identity and continued to chat casually with him.
Huang Shisan said with a brilliant smile, "I've met Huang Yi once or twice. To tell you the truth, I think she's my type, and I've decided to pursue her."
Ye Cangtian chuckled indifferently, "Perhaps the shaded path you yearn for is covered in white frost every morning!"
It took Huang Shisan a full ten seconds to process this.
He was caught off guard by this remark! Why did this Huang Jiu speak in such an irritating way?
Huang Shisan pondered for two seconds, staring at Ye Cangtian, "Brother Huang Jiu, why do you feel a bit like a friend of mine?"
"Oh?"
Ye Cangtian looked at him with a half-smile.
Huang Shisan frowned and sized him up again. The other party was dressed in luxurious clothing, and this attire alone was something only young disciples from prominent families could afford.
Although he felt the person was very familiar, he couldn't recall who it was at the moment.
"Ah, never mind. Even if we knew each other before, it doesn't matter. We don't know each other's identities in the organization anyway," Huang Jiu waved his hand, no longer dwelling on Huang Jiu's identity.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but feel amused.
You don't know my identity, but I know yours!
No wonder this guy didn't join the Hua Xia Dragon Group. He had already entered the Dark Association. However, Kyoto was the capital, the main base of the Hua Xia Dragon Group, so wasn't this guy worried about being exposed?
Just then!
The gate to the courtyard opened again, and a man in a silver robe and wearing a silver mask entered.
All the Yellow-ranked members looked over, and two of them stood up: "Esteemed Deacon!"
Ye Cangtian guessed that those two were subordinates of the silver-masked man, while the other Yellow-ranked members were likely subordinates of other silver-masked individuals.
The reason they were all gathered here today, these Yellow-ranked members, should be this silver-masked man.
"Fellow Yellow-ranked members, my name is Xuan Sixteen, and I am the overall commander for this operation!" the silver-masked man said, looking at everyone.
"Esteemed Deacon, have you gathered us here for a mission?"
"Yes, what kind of mission requires so many of us to mobilize!"
Quite a few Yellow-ranked members asked questions.
These were also questions Ye Cangtian wanted to ask. In fact, he was more curious about how many silver-masked individuals the Dark Association had. Judging by this silver-masked man's number, there should be at least sixteen.
This Dark Association was indeed terrifying!
Each silver-masked individual commanded several, or even a dozen, Yellow-ranked members. By this calculation, the entire Dark Association must have at least several hundred Yellow-ranked members.
The silver-masked man named Xuan Sixteen spoke, "This mission was temporarily assigned by the organization. The mission requirement is only one!"
"Recently, the Saudi delegation arrived in Hua Xia. The organization received news that there is a princess from the Saudi royal family among the delegation."
"And what we need to do is to kill this princess from the Saudi royal family!"
Ye Cangtian's pupils contracted.
They wanted to assassinate Xibeya? Were these guys crazy?
However, Ye Cangtian quickly understood. The Dark Association was brewing a major conspiracy, and for it to succeed, they had to oppose Hua Xia.
If Xibeya were to die in Kyoto, Hua Xia would face the wrath of the Saudi royal family, and the relationship between the two sides would inevitably become like fire and water! Sudan Novel Network
This move by the Dark Association was ruthless!
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but feel worried. Although the Saudi delegation had over a dozen female guards, each of them strong, it would be difficult for them to contend with so many Yellow-ranked members present, let alone a Silver-ranked expert.
Not only him, but Huang Shisan beside him also frowned upon learning of this mission.
"Everyone must participate in this mission. Of course, all participating Yellow-ranked members will be rewarded with contribution points," Xuan Sixteen said again.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Only Ye Cangtian was puzzled. What exactly were these contribution points? They could make almost everyone's spirits lift.
"Alright, the mission will begin tomorrow night. Everyone go back carefully and make sure you're not discovered by the Dragon Group."
After Xuan Sixteen finished speaking, he turned and left.
Some Yellow-ranked members also left one after another. Huang Shisan on the side nudged Ye Cangtian's arm, "Brother Huang Jiu, where do you live? Shall we go together?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him.
"Haha, I forgot we have to hide our identities. Then I'll be leaving first," Huang Shisan said with a dry laugh and turned to leave.
Was this guy really a member of the Dark Association?
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow. He was almost certain the other party was Shangguan Yun. But as a disciple of the Shangguan family, would he really dare to betray Hua Xia?
Or, like him, was he a mole who had infiltrated?
Heh, this is interesting!
...
Since Ye Cangtian knew that Xibeya had become the target of the Dark Association, he certainly wouldn't stand by idly.
Setting aside the fact that Hua Xia would face immense pressure after an incident involving the Saudi princess, considering his own ambiguous relationship with Xibeya, he didn't want to see her in danger.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian quickly contacted Zhang Liang.
Half an hour later!
A jeep slowly stopped by the roadside, and Ye Cangtian opened the passenger door and sat in.
"Brother Ye, you said on the phone that you had important intelligence. What's going on?" Zhang Liang yawned, pulled out a cigarette, and offered it.
Ye Cangtian took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff, then said lightly, "Someone is planning to assassinate the Saudi princess."
Zhang Liang, who was about to light his cigarette, was surprised when he heard this, "How did you know there was a princess from the Saudi royal family in the Saudi delegation?"
"Also, someone attacked the Saudi delegation last time, so we've recently deployed people near the hotel where the Saudi delegation is staying."
"The people you sent are not enough. The ones planning to assassinate the Saudi princess this time are from the Dark Association!" Ye Cangtian exhaled a smoke ring.
Zhang Liang had just lit his cigarette. Upon hearing this news, his mouth fell open, and the cigarette slipped from his lips onto his lap.
He quickly picked it up, but unfortunately, the cigarette butt had already burned a hole in his pants, almost burning the wrong place.
"How do you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know! There are a total of fourteen Yellow-ranked members and one Silver-ranked expert participating in this assassination, and the operation is scheduled for tomorrow night!"
"Is this... true?" Zhang Liang's face flickered, gradually becoming serious.
After a long pause, he looked at Ye Cangtian seriously, his expression strange, "Members of the Dark Association have always been very well hidden. How do you know so clearly?"
Ye Cangtian's lips curved slightly upwards, and he casually hung a bronze mask on his face.
Zhang Liang's eyes widened in disbelief, "You, where did you get a bronze mask? No, you're with the Dark Association?"
