The night passed quietly.
The next day.
In the conference room of the Black Dragon Society's headquarters, Christina sat at the head of the table with a grim expression. Other members of the Black Dragon Society, including the two core members, sat along both sides of the conference table, their faces equally grim.
"Why is there still no news about who attacked and killed Woodrow and the others?"
"To be able to kill Woodrow, the perpetrator must not be an ordinary person. But who or what force could have done it?"
Zachary, who had secretly watched Ethan with Lance, and Bernie, another core member, were deeply concerned.
After being gathered last night, they had learned about the situation from Sandy's report.
The result was naturally infuriating.
However, despite their anger, even Zachary and Bernie, the core members, were cautious.
Their strength was comparable to Woodrow's, and even they knew they might not fare much better.
If the perpetrator could kill Woodrow, then they might not stand a chance.
Silent, tense.
The atmosphere in the conference room was intensely oppressive.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed from outside the door, and Sandy, who was responsible for gathering intelligence, hurriedly entered.
"What's the situation? Did you find any news?"
"Who is the perpetrator? We must find them and eliminate them."
"Did you gather any information about the murderer?"
Sandy's arrival immediately altered the atmosphere in the conference room. The Black Dragon Society members present, including Zachary and Bernie, couldn't wait to ask questions.
"Quiet, everyone!"
When Christina saw the commotion, she slammed the table and scolded them harshly.
As the president, Christina's authority in the Black Dragon Society was naturally high. Under her stern command, no one dared to speak, and the room quickly returned to silence.
Seeing the president turn to focus on her, Sandy spoke cautiously, "President, our intelligence personnel have not found the perpetrator's whereabouts."
Hearing this, not only Christina but everyone else present also showed displeasure, and their expressions immediately turned grim.
Fortunately, Sandy had more to add, continuing, "However, based on the collected information, it's certain that there were two perpetrators last night. One is skilled in long-range sniping, and the other is suspected of being able to control sharp silk threads, capable of cutting someone open."
Ethan and Lisa's hunting was very clean and efficient, not only avoiding the city's surveillance but also resolving the battles in a very short time.
For instance, Lisa conducted long-range sniping directly.
And Ethan, even the formidable Woodrow, was killed in just one or two moves.
However, based on the bodies left behind, some information could be inferred from the injuries and time of death, not to mention the presence of bystanders.
"That's it? After spending the whole night, is this all the information you found?" Zachary frowned, still very dissatisfied.
This is the city where their Black Dragon Society headquarters is located. It should be the place with the strongest intelligence capabilities.
Failing to uncover the identity and origin of the perpetrator, and not even finding their basic whereabouts, was a significant intelligence failure.
"We only determined the number of people and their potential capabilities, but what's the use? We need to find the perpetrators' whereabouts and eliminate them. Otherwise, once the news spreads, there will be no deterrence at all."
Bernie also spoke seriously.
The Black Dragon Society is a killer organization. The survival of organizations like this naturally depends on the underground world under the surface.
The survival rules of the underground world are brutal, requiring sufficient deterrence to outsiders.
Once deterrence is lost, encroachment or even destruction by other forces is inevitable.
Christina frowned tightly, staring at Sandy, "Is it true you haven't discovered anything about the perpetrators' whereabouts?"
Sandy hesitated for a moment but continued, "There's one situation that we can't confirm yet: the man named Ethan whom Mr. Lance went to recruit yesterday. His martial arts gym suddenly closed yesterday. And last night, he checked into the Sky Arena with two women."
"Really?!"
"Lance?!"
Before Christina could react, Zachary, Bernie, and the other Black Dragon Society members' expressions changed.
They suddenly realized that Lance was also stationed at the headquarters, but he hadn't shown up since.
The members who stayed outside, except for those on missions, were all attacked and killed last night.
If Lance hasn't appeared now, wouldn't that mean...
A terrible thought appeared in several people's minds, and they all subconsciously looked at Christina nervously.
Especially Zachary, whose back was soaked in cold sweat.
It was Ethan who he and Lance had been secretly watching the day before. Hearing Sandy mention this person now made him think even more.
"You said the other party checked into the Sky Arena last night with two women. Do you know when they checked in?"
"...I'll investigate immediately!"
Christina's soft words made Sandy's heart skip a beat, her face changing significantly.
She hurriedly asked Christina for instructions. After receiving an indifferent nod, she ran out of the conference room even more quickly than she had entered.
Others in the conference room were either thoughtful or uneasy, but seeing the president's face seemingly shrouded in shadow, they dared not speak easily.
After a moment.
Sandy rushed back into the conference room.
"President, the other party moved into the Sky Arena not long after our people were attacked and killed. The two women with him are also players on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena. One of them is named Lisa, and her Nen ability involves attacking with mind bombs."
Sandy's breathing was quick, and she reported rapidly.
