Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 416: Testing the Blade

At dawn, a black car passed by the Future Organization headquarters.

Because the headquarters was located in a bustling downtown area, the security personnel initially didn't pay much attention.

However, as the vehicle passed, a black package was suddenly thrown out.

The Future Organization's security personnel immediately went on high alert, their warning shouts echoing in the night: "Bomb!"

Panic erupted within the Future Organization's villa, and people in surrounding buildings quickly drew their weapons, preparing for battle.

However, after a long wait, the black package didn't explode.

When someone approached to examine it, they discovered that it contained six ears.

There was no need to guess; six Future Organization members responsible for monitoring Shendai's movements had fallen victim to Shendai.

W's Face^[-] darkened as he looked at Mike beside him: "Get your people moving. Kill all the Shendai infiltrators we've found."

Mike whistled and walked into the night: "I've never liked this villa; it's too small. Let's buy that castle outside the city and a vineyard. We're better suited to living in secluded places, where it's easier to distinguish friend from foe. I've said it before; you must subdue Shendai and Koshima. Appeasement won't work."

A call came through to W, Abi's voice on the other end: "I may have found Capri."

"Where?" W asked intently.

"In front of the Pearson Museum. Someone saw him with another person," Abi said. "I checked the surveillance footage and confirmed the person with him was Li Minghao, the head of Koshima. He had a scarf covering his Face^[-], but the wind blew it away in front of a coffee shop on Danlac Street."

The street where the coffee shop was located had no surveillance, neither did the coffee shop, but a bookstore directly across the street happened to have one.

The camera was very discreet, used to catch shoplifters; Li Minghao probably didn't realize he was exposed.

Therefore, Abi was ecstatic after finding the surveillance footage from the bookstore, as if he had discovered the truth.

Most of the time,

people only believe the evidence they painstakingly find; only then does it feel convincing.

Abi continued: "This is 5 pm surveillance footage. I'm tracing his movements and should find him soon."

W sneered: "So it's a play directed by Koshima. They even had time for coffee. Find Capri, and bring Li Minghao back with him."

Turning to his subordinates, he said, "Tell Mike to kill the Koshima people too. Also, send the video of Li Minghao with Capri to Shendai. Let them fight it out!"

Future Organization went on a rampage.

With his words and a life taken, Heichuan Haidou had completely ignited the bloody prelude of Amsterdam's conflict.

No organization held back anymore.

Only Qing Chen felt a little regret. Using Marionette had two prerequisites: knowing the opponent's real name and being stronger than the opponent.

But now, all the Shendai and Koshima members listed by Zheng Yuandong were in hiding. Even if he found some small fry, he would have to painstakingly interrogate them for their names.

Obtaining the real name, in a foreign and unfamiliar environment, became extremely difficult.

While the outside atmosphere was extremely tense, Qing Chen was sitting with Capri in a small bar.

Capri suddenly felt like the boy's pet.

But in all of Amsterdam, only Capri, besides Qing Chen, knew what was really happening in the city.

He watched Heichuan Haidou, just like him, being manipulated to his death.

He watched as Qing Chen instantly transformed into Li Minghao's appearance, misleading everyone.

This was the unseen hand in Amsterdam, guiding the rhythm; no one paid attention to the man called "Qing Chen" anymore, but this person's influence in Amsterdam was actually limitless.

Qing Chen had actually wanted to directly disguise himself as Shendai Cang, but Shendai Cang was too short; he couldn't disguise himself as him.

According to the information provided by Zheng Yuandong, Shendai Cang was only 159 centimeters tall.

Qing Chen knew that Zheng Yuandong couldn't have been joking about this; otherwise, he would have thought the Kunlun leader was intentionally making the other party look bad.

He muttered, "No wonder the Spartan Spear didn't hit him during the surprise attack on Shendai headquarters; he was too short."

Then, Qing Chen turned to Capri and asked, "What's the purpose and containment conditions of that ring on your hand? If you don't tell me, you and Heichuan Haidou will meet the same end."

Capri thought, No way I believe you. He was the sole eyewitness in Amsterdam. Would this ruthless teenager let him go?

It was impossible!

Besides, you haven't untied me, how can I tell you?!

At that moment, several red, high-energy, high-temperature beams suddenly erupted from the ground in the distance.

For a moment, fires erupted in the distance.

Qing Chen knew that this was Mike's ability; he had just used this method to kill Heichuan Haidou.

He had been among the pedestrians at the time, witnessing the five red beams erupting from the opponent's five fingers, intersecting and slicing through Heichuan Haidou's body.

The wounds were charred black and brown.

It seemed that Mike had begun fighting Shendai and Koshima. Qing Chen was curious if Shendai and Koshima had any hidden A-Class experts. If not, wouldn't Mike be slaughtering pigs?

He began to worry about Shendai and Koshima.

After all, they were their good neighbors in Asia. Qing Chen's concern was natural.

He was mainly worried that they wouldn't die enough.

Qing Chen glanced at Capri: "I'll untie you now. Tell me the containment conditions, okay?"

Capri was overjoyed. As long as the other party still needed him, he still had a chance!

The next moment, Capri felt control of his body return.

But he didn't heed Qing Chen's words, instead shouting, "Help me!"

After only two words, the familiar feeling of being an observer instantly overwhelmed him, and Capri lost control of his body again.

Qing Chen said with a smile, "You're really not being honest."

However, Capri wasn't hopeless.

He knew that the Future Organization would certainly be searching for him, and Abi, the former CIA agent, must be close to their location.

The other party would definitely be able to track them through the clues Qing Chen intentionally set for Li Minghao.

Capri's shout was loud; all the residents on this street would become new clues.

However, as soon as Capri finished shouting, he suddenly noticed that Qing Chen didn't rush to leave the street but came to a small alley and, controlling him, climbed onto a nearby building.

The two stood quietly on the third-floor roof, overlooking the street below.

Capri realized something: Qing Chen didn't intend to run. The boy had realized that someone was tracking them, so he simply planned to kill the trackers here!

But Capri couldn't understand.

Why? You're alone!

If that girl were to help, it would be fine, but she had depleted her mental energy and gone back to her apartment to rest.

Over the past few days, as a constant observer, Capri had learned that the boy was only a C-Class, far less powerful than the girl.

So he thought Qing Chen was being reckless; this was his chance.

He hoped Abi brought enough people and would save him in time.

The boy stood on the third-floor rooftop, the cold wind howling. The fires in the distance raged, and it seemed Mike wasn't able to end the battle quickly either.

Qing Chen smiled, "I've been waiting for Mike to be held back, but Shendai and Koshima are useless. I've been waiting all day."

Capri was astonished.

He felt the boy's aura suddenly change, that the mastermind was about to step into the spotlight tonight.

Qing Chen chuckled, "A newly forged blade needs to cut something to test its sharpness."

As Qing Family Shadow had said, a ferocious beast arriving in an unfamiliar environment should first devour the animals there.

In this way, the beast can know its place in the food chain.

For Qing Chen, entering the C-Class realm was no different from a ferocious beast entering a new territory.

Five minutes later, more than ten Future Organization members suddenly appeared at both ends of the street, surrounding them.

They spread out, moving stealthily along the walls.

But the moment they appeared, Capri felt his barely recovered mental energy drain again!

Eighteen shining Spartan Spears hovered in the air, aimed in eighteen directions, and erupted simultaneously!

Eighteen directions, eighteen people.

The Spartan Spears tore through the night's curtain, emitting a buzzing sound.

In an instant, the eighteen Future Organization members, caught completely off guard, were nailed to the street!

The stone pavement was shattered!

Capri was utterly astonished.

It was all in the blink of an eye!

The spears descending from nothingness were like a judgment from the heavens!

Capri never thought that his ability could be used like this, to strike so many targets at once.

In the past, his attacks were mainly three or six spears at a time, like a dense barrage, covering an area directly.

This was because he didn't have the speed to calculate the trajectory of all the spears separately, nor the ability to control them with multiple minds.

Now, in Qing Chen's hands, the ability was like a multi-angle self-aiming turret. As long as they were enemies on the street, they were in the lock-on.

The boy had turned area-of-effect attacks into precision strikes!

This way of attacking was far more efficient than sniper rifles, which could kill two targets at most in one second, but the multi-angle self-aiming turret could kill eighteen in one second.

Even a Gatling gun couldn't achieve this efficiency when facing a pincer attack!

Not only Capri, but also the Future Organization members hidden in the distance were astonished. When did Capri develop this kind of battlefield pressure?!!!

Was this still the Capri they knew?

In their impression, Capri was just a nouveau riche who only knew how to bombard and flaunt his wealth.

However, one thing was certain: Capri had indeed defected.

Qing Chen smiled at Capri, "Has a new world opened up for you? Too bad you won't be able to use it anymore."

As he spoke, more Future Organization members charged forward. Someone said, "Capri can only materialize eighteen spears at a time. He's used them all up. Rush in and kill him before he recovers."

However, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Capri's heart.

He wanted to shout, Don't come, anymore, I'll die here.

But he couldn't shout.

In an instant, he felt a black hole appearing in his body, draining all his remaining potential.

Seventeen more spears materialized in the dark night.

Capri's Face^[-] paled visibly, his eyes sunken.

He knew Qing Chen had squeezed all his potential.

Materializing seventeen was because that was his limit.

It was as if someone had used a stick to wind a spider's silk and madly rolled it up, forcibly extracting all the silk from the spider's abdomen.

It was too cruel.

The next second, the seventeen spears executed their judgment in the night!

In less than a minute, the Future Organization lost 35 men!

The harvest efficiency was terrifying.

The Future Organization members were astonished; weren't they told that Capri could only materialize eighteen spears? It turned out that the nouveau riche had been hiding his strength!

Abi recalled what had happened and suddenly realized that Capri might have had other motives when he joined the Future Organization.

Pretending to be a nouveau riche, pretending to only be able to materialize eighteen spears, pretending to only know how to bombard – it was all an act!

The Capri tonight was the real Capri!

Was this arranged by another organization deeply rooted in North America? Abi fell into suspicion.

Since the crossover incident, the Future Organization had only suffered three such losses: once in the Middle East, once against the Corleone and Stellari families during their conquest of Europe, and now!

The Future Organization members who were originally prepared to charge forward hesitated; they had all been ordinary people a few months ago, and now they were facing such cruel slaughter like a war.

Some began to retreat.

But Abi wasn't willing to give up. He saw at a glance that after the second volley of seventeen spears, Capri was at the end of his rope.

Even if Capri had been acting, he wouldn't have been able to maintain the ruse for so long!

He calmly said in the communication channel: "I'm sure Capri is at the end of his rope. I'll lead the charge, and you'll follow behind."

Abi sighed; his strength was not the top in Future Organization, but he couldn't call Mike over now, and Future Organization's morale was not as high as he had imagined.

After this European conflict, he would have to have a good talk with W about improving Future Organization's cohesion.

In the past, they had been dominant in Europe, and their winning streak had never revealed any problems, but once the situation was unfavorable, all the problems would be exposed.

As now, thirty-five men had just died, and half wanted to escape.

At this time, Abi led the team to quickly surround Qing Chen from behind the building where he stood. He said, "Sniper, have you reached your designated position?"

However, the sniper didn't respond.

The sniper, who should have been aiming, was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, with a hole in his forehead.

In terms of sniping ability, everyone was inferior to Qing Chen, including the ability to determine the most suitable sniper position.

At this moment, Zheng Yuandong was standing beside the sniper's body, coldly looking at the battlefield in the distance.

Footsteps and the sound of a cane tapping the ground came from behind him.

Before He Jinqiu arrived, his laughter did: "I wonder why that kid is going on a rampage tonight. It turns out he has Zheng Boss providing backup. It's heartbreaking. He still doesn't trust Nine Provinces, and didn't even invite us to this fun."

Zheng Yuandong said without turning back, "Why didn't you go kill Mike?"

He Jinqiu smiled and shook his head, "No hurry, Zheng Boss hasn't dealt with this Mike before. He seems boisterous and arrogant, but he's actually insidious and cunning. He dares to act, which means Future Organization still has a backup waiting for me. Tonight, I don't know whether Shendai or Koshima will be hit, but neither will have a good outcome."

Zheng Yuandong glanced at him, "You do your thing; I'll watch here."

He Jinqiu smiled and turned to leave, "Maybe you and I don't even need to take action. That kid will turn Europe upside down. Just look at what he's done today; it's just like Inner World Intelligence Bureau One, Group Seven's outrageous operations."

As Boss He left,

Zheng Yuandong glanced at his back, then turned to look at the roof, but saw Qing Chen and Capri leaping down from the roof.

On the street, two C-Class figures moved like phantoms, crisscrossing the street, rapidly approaching the Future Organization members.

Their intersecting black figures were like a pair of extremely sharp scissors. Whenever they crossed, the Future Organization members seemed to hear the creepy click-clack of scissors closing.

The two moved with perfect coordination; to the Future Organization members, they looked like two telepathic twins.

The Future Organization members raised their guns and fired, but Qing Chen's speed after his promotion to C-Class was too fast, already approaching B-Class!

At this level, the Future Organization members' speed in raising their guns to aim was no match for his movement speed!

Qing Chen's narrowed pupils stared fixedly at all the Future Organization members, calculating their muzzle trajectories.

Stone pavement, street, gunfire!

The boy seemed to have everything in his mind; his restless fighting spirit burned completely, and his brain worked frantically like a precise machine!

Bullets constantly kicked up debris around him and Capri, but none hit him.

Abi, astonished, involuntarily retreated.

In an instant, Qing Chen and Capri's figures brushed past the members at the front of the Future Organization.

Surprisingly, Qing Chen didn't attack, just passing them by.

It seemed they had rushed all the way just for this miss.

But the next second, a drop of blood flew in the air.

Shining in the dim streetlight.

Where did the blood come from?!

Only then did Abi see in the dim light that an extremely thin thread seemed to connect the two phantoms!

Cutting people like cutting mud!
