Having taken down a group of invincible agents, Zhu Fan barely had time to catch his breath before a more ruthless batch arrived.

Who could be more ruthless than the most professional assassins? But this group charged in immediately and began their assault. The assassins stationed at the front had no way of resisting the oncoming second wave of attacks.

"Is it the people from Yanhuang Soul?"

Yes, if Zhu Fan feared anyone, it would be Yanhuang Soul.

Only with the appearance of Yanhuang Soul would Zhu Fan show such a panicked expression.

"No, it's not..." Quickly, Zhu Fan dismissed the idea. If Yanhuang Soul sent people, it couldn't be so few, and if they attacked, it would be comprehensive, not a reckless rush like now.

"Boss, you should go. If this continues, who knows how many more will charge in." Just then, a loyal subordinate noticed the malice of the intruders and rushed to Zhu Fan's side to express his loyalty.

"Go? Which way?" Zhu Fan asked lightly.

"We can't get out this side, but I parked at the back entrance today. You can take my car and leave first."

"Alright." Zhu Fan nodded.

Seeing Zhu Fan nod, the corner of the subordinate's mouth curled into an almost imperceptible smile. He took the lead to pave the way.

'Whoosh.'

However, after just two steps, Zhu Fan suddenly raised his hand and struck the subordinate in the back forcefully.

'Bang.'

The subordinate fell to the ground with a thud, a syringe slipping from his hand. Turning around, he stared wide-eyed at Zhu Fan: "You, how did you know..."

"I remember, you should be one of Uncle Zhong's men, right? The old geezer didn't show up, but you ran out first. It seems this guy can't be trusted either."

The plan was to deceive Zhu Fan into going to the back door, where an ambush awaited to capture him. The syringe was a tranquilizer needle, meant to capture Zhu Fan alive and secure the data.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fan saw through it immediately.

"I have a helicopter on the rooftop. If I'm going to leave, do I need to take your car? Really." Looking at the lifeless man, Zhu Fan scoffed.

The battle in front of him continued, and watching his men fall one by one, Zhu Fan felt a twinge of pain. Some who originally worked for Uncle Zhong suddenly turned against them, worsening the situation.

These invaders were well-prepared; they showed no fear in the face of Black Scorpion's venom. The poison and antidote came from Japan, and it seemed these people had already taken it in advance, revealing their identities.

"It's getting late, make your move." Zhu Fan said softly into a walkie-talkie, then had his subordinates in the building bring out a chair and sat down at the entrance.

He looked entirely unconcerned.

"Yes, boss."

On Zhu Fan's command, more than twenty people suddenly rushed out of the building, immediately shifting the tide of the battle once they engaged.

These people were cold-faced, their eyes fierce, taking lives without mercy. In a fleeting moment, they could take a life. They were Zhu Fan's twenty strongest assassins, his most trusted, most dependable men.

"Everyone get ready, Zhu Fan has resorted to his last measures. It seems we really can't stop these assassins. You guys, be careful later." Xiaofan's face turned grim. The waves of assassins grew stronger and stronger. Li Kuo's close combat prowess here was negligible. With only himself and Li San and five others left, stopping Zhu Fan amidst this fierce fight was a truly daunting task.

"This won't do, Xiaofan, that old guy has appeared." Just then, Li San pointed to something on the screen.

Hearing this, Xiaofan turned again to the screen, and Li Kuo immediately used the drone to zoom in on the person Li San indicated.

Indeed, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.

"Kawashima?" Seeing the person, Xiaofan furrowed his brows.

Besides Kawashima, four elders of similar age were with him. These four elders astonishingly held off the more than twenty top-tier assassins who stormed out of the building, while Kawashima steadily approached Zhu Fan.

At last, upon seeing Kawashima, Zhu Fan's expression finally betrayed a hint of panic.

Given his previous supreme confidence in escaping safely, the presence of this man presented an unparalleled challenge. Escaping from his clutches seemed uncertain for Zhu Fan.

"Mr. Kawashima, nice to see you again."

"Young man, causing all this chaos, is it necessary?"

"I just want to leave myself a path to survival," Zhu Fan replied with a faint smile.

"Hand over the item, come back with me. Once successful, wealth and glory will be endless. You would still be the boss of Red Butterfly, with your status possibly elevated another level."

"Come on, I'm not a three-year-old. Who would believe such words? Moreover, once I have a hold of the data, I won't be someone you can easily command. Maybe even Japan will have to show me respect in the future," Zhu Fan retorted disdainfully.

"Your ambition is indeed grand. Choosing you as the latest boss of Red Butterfly back then was not wrong, but if you want to slip out of our control, then all the effort we poured into nurturing you over the years will be wasted."

"If one doesn't act for themselves, heaven will punish and earth will destroy."

"Well, well, such divine retribution. Words are futile. Since I'm here, I must get that item."

"As long as I'm alive, don't think you'll get the data back."

The tension was palpable, and as soon as Zhu Fan finished, Kawashima Jun made the first move. Completing the mission quickly would be to their advantage. After all, this was XG, a special administrative region but still under Huaxia jurisdiction. Yanhuang Soul could appear at any moment, and if their forces arrived, all efforts would be in vain.

'Bang.'

At their first clash, Zhu Fan was forced back three steps. His right hand's veins bulged, blood surged in his chest. Clearly, matching blows, he realized the gap between their abilities.

"I'll say it again, give me the item..."

"Want it? Come and get it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than two assassins swiftly passed behind Kawashima. Kawashima slightly turned to evade, flicked his hands to force back the attackers, and then dashed toward Zhu Fan once more.
