At this moment, the Red Butterfly headquarters.

"Tell them to be careful while moving things, those are important files and documents."

On the open ground, seven helicopters had long been waiting here. This is Zhu Fan's first step. As long as they first escape overseas from XG, they can then focus on researching HLY007. Once successful, these elite subordinates who left first would be the best help for his comeback.

"Is everyone here? Why hasn't there been any news from Cui Yuan?"

"Boss, the research facility has already been blown up, indicating Cui Yuan and the others have succeeded. It might be because the explosion just happened, affecting the signal."

"Where is Uncle Zhong? Where did he go at a time like this?"

"Uncle Zhong? He seems to be commanding in front."

"According to the plan, once the stuff is loaded onto the helicopters, I will take some people and leave first. The assassin team will cover the retreat, and we'll regroup in a week."

"Don't worry, boss. We have already arranged all the temporary bases."

"Hmm, hasn't Black Mantis returned yet?"

"He hasn't, not yet."

"I can't wait for Black Mantis and Cui Yuan. I'll leave first. When they return, disperse."

"Yes."

Saying this, Zhu Fan prepared to board the seven helicopters to escape overseas. The first helicopter took off. The second followed, and the rotor of the third began to spin.

"Ah, I almost forgot I have an important guest to bring along. If Black Mantis really likes this woman, bringing her along will surely make him come to find me."

Zhu Fan said, turning to walk back into the building.

Inside the manor, everyone was busy preparing, even though Zhu Fan had ordered their captain ahead of time. They knew Red Butterfly was going to move again, but what was that almost suffocating tension all about?

'Boom.'

'Boom.'

'Boom, boom, boom.'

Zhu Fan had just taken a couple of steps when a wave of heat staggered him. Turning around, he looked in stunned disbelief at the two helicopters that had just taken off and all the escape tools on the ground. They were suddenly blown to pieces.

"Li Kuo? Did you blow them up?"

Less than five hundred meters from the manor, Xiaofan, in the car, looked at the fire and vibration coming from the manor and voiced his doubts.

"No, you didn't give the order. I just had the drone approach. Zhu Fan hasn't boarded the helicopter, so I didn't detonate."

"Yes, it wasn't my bomb." Han Shengjun immediately said.

"Heh..." Xiaofan chuckled softly. It seemed someone couldn't hold back.

"Xiaofan, someone has infiltrated the manor. Judging by their outfits, they should be from the Federal Bureau." Li Kuo's voice came again from the intercom.

"Keep monitoring."

"Okay."

Bai Xue and the other two sat quietly in the car, puzzled by Xiaofan's actions. What exactly was he up to? Was he really planning to go head-to-head with Red Butterfly? With his capabilities and so few people, could it really work?

"Captain..."

"Hmm."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's not about what I want to do, but about what they want to do, and what Zhu Fan wants to do." Xiaofan's response was somewhat cryptic, completely baffling Bai Xue and the others.

From the current situation, if this explosion wasn't caused by Li Kuo, then it had to be someone else. Excluding Red Butterfly itself, that would only leave the people from the Federal Bureau.

Of course, Xiaofan didn't believe that the people sent by the Federal Bureau would be a match for Red Butterfly. But could Japan, having surveilled Zhu Fan for so long, really do nothing at such a critical juncture?

Until the final moment, Xiaofan wouldn't lead his brothers into a fight to the death. Now, they could delay a minute for another minute.

Xiaofan's logic was sound. Over the years, Japan had invested so much money supporting Red Butterfly. How could they sit idly by and watch Zhu Fan leave with nothing and start anew elsewhere?

"Executor, the Federal Bureau people have infiltrated. What should we do now?"

Uncle Zhong sat quietly in a luxurious stretch car, gently poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it before saying calmly, "Let Zhu Fan play with them for a while. Inform Mr. Kawashima, Zhu Fan will definitely carry the unfinished HLY007 file, so he must not die until we get the file. Dongwu's funds can be abandoned, but the HLY007 must be acquired. This is the highest priority directive of the Special High Class."

"Understood."

Indeed, the explosion just now was ordered by Uncle Zhong. He knew that someone would definitely be unable to hold back. Although Red Butterfly only had its headquarters left, the strength of those assassins should not be underestimated. A hard clash would certainly end in mutual destruction. So, Uncle Zhong quietly had bombs placed on the helicopters, firstly to buy time for Zhu Fan's escape and secondly to lure others coveting the file to act first.

Now, it seemed to be working very well.

However, what Uncle Zhong planned was originally part of Xiaofan's plan. Since someone else acted first, Xiaofan naturally crossed his arms and enjoyed the show.

What is Red Butterfly? It's an assassin organization renowned worldwide, with the top elites of the assassin world. Zhu Fan had considered that even if Yanhuang Soul sent all its experts, Red Butterfly would dare to battle them head-on.

But how could Zhu Fan have imagined that the Federal Bureau people would come so far to his doorstep to steal something? Weren't they tired of living?

The Federal Bureau had seemingly pinpointed Zhu Fan's position from the start. After breaking into the manor, waves of agents rushed toward Zhu Fan. Clearly, they also realized that dealing with the entire Red Butterfly wasn't feasible with just them. But they learned a Huaxia idiom, capture the ringleader first. As long as they controlled Zhu Fan and obtained the items, half of the mission would be complete.

"Protect the boss."

The assassins of Red Butterfly knew that the boss was their hope of survival. With their current status, it was impossible to live openly. If the organization still existed, so would they. If the boss and the organization were gone, they would have no choice but to flee for their lives.

Although Zhu Fan was a bit ruthless, he valued these key subordinates highly, which is why, when preparing to escape, they remained steadfastly by his side.

The assassins of Red Butterfly met the FBI Federal Bureau agents head-on, and in an instant, several agents charging forward were cut down directly.

However, by the second wave, these assassins suddenly sensed something was amiss when the daggers penetrated the opponents' bodies. Before they could react, the special agents struck them down with a slap.
