Nightmare Apostle

"It’s him..." A fierce glint exploded in Yang Xiao’s eyes.

That Han Family is truly hateful, sending Han Li with a special ops team to assassinate me, while another team led by Han Chen directly went to Xiang Ma Town to uproot my operations. Damn it, they are leaving me no way out at all.

"Yang Xiao, there’s one thing I have to tell you, please don’t get angry."

After a pause, Sui continued, "We found a photo of Miss Tong on Han Chen. They’re targeting her, probably trying to kidnap her, they likely know about your relationship."

"Damn it...!" Yang Xiao’s impression of the Northern Han Family was already rock bottom, these guys have no limits, probably mistaking his relationship with Tong Han.

Yang Xiao hadn’t expected that due to his association, he’d nearly brought unwarranted disaster upon his friend. Luckily, he had sent Tong Han to Japan’s Kusunoki Family, and it seemed the Han Family wasn’t aware of this.

However, being able to acquire Tong Han’s photo and knowing the relationship between Xiang Ma Town’s Sun and Moon Divine Sect and himself indicates that the Han Family’s intelligence work is indeed impressive.

One cannot view them with the stature of the three major forces, but for a martial world force, Yang Xiao believes the Han Family’s comprehensive strength is absolutely top-notch in Jiangbei Province.

If it weren’t for Han Chen and Han Li being such idiots, their martial world ranking would likely be higher.

Nevertheless, one has to admit, this father and son duo are truly bold, daring to think and act. In this regard, Yang Xiao respects them as real characters.

However, now the Han Family is finished. Family Head Han Chen has been killed, and that Northern Evil Dragon Han Li has been turned into just a bug by me. Now he wants to see how the Han Family will come to an end.

Leaving Han Li alive wasn’t Yang Xiao’s intention, it was due to a request from Vice Commissioner Zhao. He needs to use Han Li as leverage to force the Han Family to hand over the black material they hold about him. This is all part of their agreement.

As repayment to Yang Xiao, Vice Commissioner Zhao will fully cooperate with him to be promoted to Vice Director of the Provincial Bureau and leave him with the martial world forces and connections in his possession.

Yang Xiao is a man who keeps promises; anything he’s agreed upon, he will definitely accomplish.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao sat on the sofa pondering, not knowing who the mysterious caller was.

The voice being male or female didn’t matter, as it could be disguised. The truly critical aspect was the person behind the call.

From the outcome, this person was definitely on his side, his first thought being Vice Commissioner Zhao, as they were currently nominal allies.

But upon further thought, Yang Xiao ruled out this possibility, for a simple reason—if Vice Commissioner Zhao knew about the ambush, he wouldn’t call Xiang Ma Town; he’d directly inform him, selling him a favor along the way.

Beyond him, the ones within the Provincial Bureau capable of such actions were only Hong Anguo and Wu Qingcang; could it be... one of them?

Yang Xiao found it increasingly difficult to decipher, feeling completely alert. As dawn broke faintly, he sent a message to Vice Commissioner Zhao, informing him of his safe return and the smooth completion of the mission.

Within ten seconds of sending the message, he received a reply. It seemed Vice Commissioner Zhao had also been awake all night.

The two agreed to meet at an old-style teahouse near Yang Xiao’s house after dawn.

After waiting for more than an hour, the sky was completely bright. Yang Xiao tidied himself up from head to toe, changed into a new outfit and shoes, and finally set out.

Qinglan City has a tradition of having morning tea. At this moment, the teahouse was already bustling with many people, so he found a relatively quiet spot to await Vice Commissioner Zhao’s arrival.

About a dozen minutes later, Vice Commissioner Zhao, also dressed in disguise, arrived. Seeing Yang Xiao safe and sound, much of the tension on his face eased.

"I’m really glad to see you’re okay. Honestly, I regretted it as soon as you left. I should have stopped you from going." Vice Commissioner Zhao whispered.

"But my informant told me it appeared Wu Qingcang wasn’t in Qinglan City last night either. I thought he must have gone with you, and that put me at ease." Vice Commissioner Zhao added with a light chuckle, knowing all too well Wu Qingcang’s capabilities as an old adversary.

"How did it go, was everything smooth?" Vice Commissioner Zhao asked again.

"All went well, Zhao, your intelligence was very accurate." In the Withered Bone Pavilion’s ambush, there was a Taoist Sect rebel Xuan Sha, but such details weren’t easy for Vice Commissioner Zhao to grasp, so Yang Xiao didn’t blame him, things should be seen in reason.

There indeed was a trap at the Withered Bone Pavilion, Han Li indeed ambushed him on his return, which was enough.

Upon learning that Yang Xiao had captured Han Li, Vice Commissioner Zhao visibly relaxed, the first step of the plan was already successful.

"Zhao, Han Li is in our hands, but that Han Chen is already dead." Yang Xiao suddenly said.

As soon as he spoke, Vice Commissioner Zhao was taken aback, looking at Yang Xiao with some alarm, "What, Han Chen went too? How... how did you kill him?"

"I didn’t kill him, Han Chen didn’t ambush me; he went to Xiang Ma Town. You know, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is my force; he went there to capture a friend of mine and was taken out by my people. They were about thirty-odd top-ranking members." Yang Xiao revealed the situation there to Vice Commissioner Zhao to some extent.

"Han Chen was very cautious. The men he brought weren’t from the Han Family, their specific identities unknown, seemingly not locals either." Yang Xiao added.
