Chapter 258: Chapter 258: In Control

He was just a department head in a small border city, so he didn’t know the information about Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, which is why he had just experienced that scene.

Having seen the information about Xiao Zhan, he remained silent for a long time before he finally sighed deeply.

He always emphasized not to judge by appearances, but in the end, he did just that.

Alas...

...

Elsewhere.

After Xiao Zhan obtained the materials, he showed them to the team members below.

After finishing, Xiao Zhan asked, "Any thoughts?"

Deputy team leader Meng Fei thought for a moment and said, "Bright Moon Hotel is the biggest hotel in Bright Moon City, and its boss is controlled by the neighboring Kimchi Federation. Huang Kailong dares to go to such a grand hotel at such a critical time. Could it be that his backers are from the Kimchi Federation?"

"If that’s really the case, then the Kimchi Federation needs a good cleaning," Xiao Zhan said.

The Kimchi Federation has narrow terrain, and in the early stages of the cataclysm, it had already been entirely occupied by Demon Beasts.

The reason why the Kimchi Federation still exists is purely because the Longxia Federation needed a buffer. Thus, after driving the Demon Beasts out of their own territory, they helped the Kimchi Federation do the same.

The subsequent rebuilding of the Kimchi Federation also saw significant help from Longxia.

Xiao Zhan had thought they would be grateful but didn’t expect them to be so incorrigibly stubborn and unchanging in their ways!

"Huang Kailong has no way out now. If there really is a shadow of the Kimchi Federation behind him, then Huang Kailong must be thinking of fleeing to the Kimchi Federation. Only there, our reach won’t suffice," said Meng Fei again.

Of course, the reach of the Ye Family wasn’t truly insufficient, it was just not as easy to extend.

"No matter who’s behind him, as long as they intend to harm the Ye Family, I won’t let any of them go!" Xiao Zhan said with clenched fists.

Xiao Zhan might not harbor such immense hatred for the destruction of the Ye Family.

But they didn’t just want to destroy the Ye Family, they also wanted to steal his wife!

That was unforgivable.

Xiao Zhan still vividly remembered the feeling of almost having Ye Youlong snatched away; it was a feeling so deep and unforgettable that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

Having experienced it once, he never wanted to experience it again.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan was determined to eradicate that group of people by any means necessary!

Meng Fei nodded and then said, "I’ll contact the people at the border right now to make sure the exit is secure and that not even a fly gets out."

Xiao Zhan, however, waved it off, "No, that would only alarm the enemy. This is a border city filled with Kimchi Federation people. Any small movement could get detected."

"We can contact them to let their Commander prepare, but everything else should follow normal procedures."

"Yes," Meng Fei immediately started making contact.

Afterward, Xiao Zhan formulated a preliminary action plan. When everything was nearly in place, Xiao Zhan and his team covertly approached Bright Moon Hotel.

...

On the other side.

Huang Kailong finally met the president he spoke of.

This was his first time seeing this president; before this, he had only heard from Huang Yuan.

After the failed mutiny, according to the escape plan left by Huang Yuan, he found this place.

He was led into a room, and to his surprise, the president turned out to be a woman!

Dressed in a proper suit, sitting on the sofa, with a seductive figure and the perfect curve immersed. Black long hair, an extremely beautiful face, high and cold temperament; a true mature beauty!

"Hand over the item, and I’ll arrange for your departure," the woman got straight to the point upon meeting.

Huang Kailong didn’t have the item on him, of course, so he couldn’t produce it.

So, this was the time to test his acting skills.

He said, "Let me leave first, and then I’ll give you the item."

"You don’t trust me?" The woman’s elegant brow furrowed.

The sharp aura made Huang Kailong feel a bit pressured.

Gathering his wits, Huang Kailong said, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but right now I can only trust myself. I remember, just now you weren’t even willing to see me."

These words made the woman furrow her brows at once.

It truly was as Huang Kailong said; she didn’t really want to deal with the troublesome Huang Kailong, considering her sensitive identity. If the Ye Family discovered that she was in collusion with Huang Kailong, she would suffer a devastating blow.

But the item in Huang Kailong’s hands forced her to take this risk.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Rest here tonight; I will arrange for your departure tomorrow."

"No, it has to be arranged now."

The woman’s brow furrowed again, but seeing Huang Kailong’s desperate demeanor, she chose to compromise.

After a brief encounter, despite having 90% certainty that Huang Kailong was lying, she still could not afford to bet on the remaining 10%.

She picked up the communicator in front of Huang Kailong and ordered her subordinates, "Contact someone to escort Huang Kailong out."

After saying that, she directly hung up the communicator.

Then she looked at Huang Kailong, "Are you reassured now?"

"Once I’m safe, I’ll give you the item," Huang Kailong said.

Only now did he slightly relax.

As long as he leaves the Longxia Federation, he will be completely safe.

As for the consequences of deceiving this woman, that could be dealt with later.

Soon, the communicator rang, and the woman answered—it was a message that everything had been arranged.

Upon hearing this, a smile unwittingly appeared on Huang Kailong’s face.

"Let’s go; I’ll escort you personally." The woman said with a cold face. As long as Huang Kailong couldn’t produce the item, she would immediately kill him.

Huang Kailong didn’t want to be escorted by her, but seeing the situation, he knew he couldn’t refuse and had to compromise.

...

At the same time.

In a room outside of the Bright Moon Hotel, Xiao Zhan and his team had already locked down all nearby intersections.

They were watching the screens.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the footage.

"They’ve appeared," a team member responsible for surveillance promptly alerted.

But Xiao Zhan didn’t even look up, just calmly continued eating his boxed meal, "That’s a disguise."

"A disguise?"

That team member paused, "How do you know, Captain?"

Xiao Zhan slightly smiled, "This boxed meal is inauthentic; using duck meat to impersonate beef."

The team member was bewildered, not understanding the meaning of these words.

What does it have to do with the mission?

But knowing better, he didn’t ask any further.

He knew of Xiao Zhan’s unique abilities, almost whatever he said was right.

After a few minutes.

Another group of people appeared on the screen, along with five identical cars.

That team member immediately said, "They’re getting in the cars, five cars, five different directions. Captain, should we lock onto all five cars?"

"Just lock onto the third one; ignore the others."

Xiao Zhan had just finished his boxed meal; inside, the beef was left untouched, exactly three pieces.
