Following a mountain's stone path, a group of people reached a mansion surrounded by mountains. Not only was it encircled by lofty mountains and forests, but a towering defensive wall also stood around the mansion's perimeter, with specially hired mercenaries patrolling it.
Seeing this secluded mansion deep in the mountains, Hu Daoke swallowed and looked at Li Si, "Brother Li, if we've done anything wrong, you could just tell us. Don't drag us silently into a prison."
"Prison? This is our secret base!" Li Si rebuked him with a glance, speaking in disbelief.
However, what Hu Daoke said was true. The imposing wall standing amidst the forest did unintentionally provoke thoughts of a prison.
The carriage reached the end of the stone path, and two mercenaries holding automatic rifles promptly greeted them. After Li Si showed his credentials, they stepped back and signaled for the heavy iron gate to open.
