11:20 PM...
Japan, inside the base where Lingze is located.
"Sect Leader..."
"Come in."
"Sorry, Sect Leader, for disturbing your rest so late."
"Hmm? Uncle Zhong, coming to find me at this time, has something happened?"
"Yes, Sect Leader, just received news that the Hall Master of Cyan Dragon Hall and five of his men were assassinated half an hour ago."
"What? Half an hour ago? Weren't they supposed to be preparing for the Assassination Order mission?"
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, Lingze's expression turned extremely grim.
His subordinates, inexplicably, died on national soil.
It definitely wouldn't be done by people from our own country. Even if there were rivals within the nation, such obvious power struggles are usually for more control.
If someone wanted to kill his men to expand their own power, they shouldn't target assassins but rather kill some government officials.
