The world is vast and dangerous.
The Black Dragon Society seems to be thriving, but one wrong move could lead to its instant destruction.
After reaching the limit of current development, Christina wisely chose to halt expansion rather than recklessly continue.
"By the way, where's Lance? I haven't seen him today."
The lady's cigarette in her hand was half-burned as Christina extinguished it in the ashtray beside her. Her eyes wandered, settling on Sandy across from her.
Speaking of her younger brother, Christina felt a warmth in her heart.
Her parents had died early, and Lance was her last family member, her only soft spot.
Similarly, Lance respected his sister deeply. No matter how busy he was, he would always find time to visit her daily.
Sandy paused for a moment, then replied truthfully, "Mr. Lance took on the task of recruiting new members..."
As Christina's assistant, many organizational matters passed through Sandy's hands, and she even had the authority to handle many minor affairs independently.
For example, the recruitment of new members.
Unless it involved a champion-level figure, Sandy had the authority to manage it herself.
This also demonstrated Christina's great trust in Sandy.
But before she finished speaking, Sandy abruptly stopped.
She had thought Lance left the Sky Arena in the morning to recruit new members, but it was already evening. By now, Lance should have returned.
For a moment, cold sweat trickled down Sandy's face.
Her sudden silence caused the laziness on Christina's face, who was reclining on the sofa, to gradually dissipate. She stared directly at Sandy and said, "Recruiting new members? Who is it, and why was Lance responsible for this task?"
"Lance took on the task himself. The recruit is a player on the 200th floor of the arena, named Ethan. I heard he possesses considerable strength and potential."
Sandy quickly relayed what she knew.
She was well aware of the president's affection for her brother.
Just like Lance's two puppet corpses, they were two commanders led by the president to assist Lance in his hunts.
What Christina cared about was not who the recruit was, but why her brother took on the task of recruiting new members. Normally, he wouldn't pay attention to such tasks unless...
Thoughts raced through her mind, and an uneasy feeling arose within Christina.
"Hand me my phone!" Christina maintained her composure, gesturing to Sandy.
Sandy quickly stepped forward and handed the phone she had set aside to the president.
Toot toot...
Christina dialed her brother's number, but no one answered. Her expression gradually grew serious.
"In one hour, I want Lance in front of me!" Christina's demeanor shifted, reminiscent of a beast awakening from slumber, her gaze falling on Sandy like a blade.
Sandy's delicate body trembled slightly, and she nodded hastily with a pale face. "Yes, President, don't worry. I'll send someone to find Mr. Lance immediately."
With that, she hurriedly exited the room.
Mr. Lance is the president's Achilles' heel, a fact known throughout the Black Dragon Society. Sandy naturally dared not show any negligence.
**Darkness enveloped the sky.**
Boom!
A soft gunshot echoed, corresponding to a man holding a wine glass and embracing a beautiful woman in a distant mansion near the floor-to-ceiling window, whose head suddenly exploded.
"Ah!!!"
The beautiful woman in his embrace screamed in terror, collapsing to the ground.
"First!"
The gunfire came from the rooftop of a building some distance away from the mansion.
The moment she fired, Lisa thought silently, then, without hesitation, retracted the sniper rifle, stood up, and swiftly moved toward the next target.
**Outside the Sky Arena.**
Bee-sized 'scout soldiers' roamed around every entrance and exit of the Sky Arena under the natural cover of night.
On the rooftop of a building a few streets away, Mia sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes seemingly closed in concentration, yet she was silently monitoring the surroundings of the Sky Arena with her 'scouts.'
As night fell, Ethan and the others began their operations.
Mia was responsible for monitoring the Sky Arena and tracking the movements of Black Dragon Society members within, while Ethan and Lisa were tasked with hunting.
When Lisa completed the first sniper kill with precise marksmanship and powerful nen bullets, Ethan found his first target.
**Iron Fist Martial Arts School!**
This martial arts gym might have a simple name, but among the many gyms in the city, it ranked at the forefront.
Because its owner, Woodrow, is one of the renowned champions of the Sky Arena.
Now, Ethan had arrived at Iron Fist Gym.
**Night.**
Even though Iron Fist Gym was thriving, by this time, it had already closed.
**"Field of Lines!"**
As he approached the gym's entrance, Ethan paused, glancing up at the plaque hanging over the gate, his eyes calm and steady.
Simultaneously, numerous silk threads silently extended from his feet. After burrowing into the ground, they quickly spread toward the gym's handle.
In addition to being a Sky Arena champion, Woodrow was also a member of the Black Dragon Society, the only core member stationed in the city who didn't reside in the Sky Arena.
**Rumble**
Without resistance, the earthquake occurred. To be precise, the earthquake's scope was confined to the Iron Fist Gym area.
"Is this an earthquake?! Get outside!"
"What's happening? How could there be an earthquake all of a sudden?"
"Huh?! The earthquake seems localized to our gym."
The violent tremors not only caused cracks to appear on the walls of Iron Fist Gym but also prompted those residing there to rush outside in panic.
Among them were servants, students living in the gym, and even Woodrow, the gym owner.
The sudden earthquake naturally surprised everyone.
But after exiting the gym, someone soon noticed something unusual.
The earthquake's scope was limited to the gym's location. After leaving the gym, the vibrations noticeably decreased.
