Chapter 829 - 827: Red-eyed Eagle Courtyard
"You all wait outside, and make sure to spread the word to surround the back of the hotel completely. Don’t let him escape." The speaker was none other than the Fourth-in-Command, Wu Chi.
"Yes, boss." After receiving the order, his men began to move.
Once everything was ready, Wu Chi waved his hand, and two burly men kicked open the door and rushed in. Wu Chi followed closely behind.
With his skills, he didn’t need that many people; only three were enough to go through the front entrance.
However, once the three of them charged in, they found the room empty. Wu Chi, being a Profound Dao expert, quickly noticed something off by the window; the curtain swayed slightly in the breeze. He strode forward, lifted it abruptly, and found the window open and several people lying on the ground downstairs.
"Not good, that kid escaped from the back." Wu Chi felt a bit helpless; he had underestimated Chen Tianlong’s abilities. Even with fifteen Yellow Dao seven-star experts, they still couldn’t stop him.
It’s no wonder, Chen Tianlong was now a Profound Dao one-star expert, and these Yellow Dao minions couldn’t stop him; even if they couldn’t defeat him, Chen Tianlong’s Ghost Shadow Flash escape skill was enough to leave them in the dust.
Before long, Wu Chi had reached the back of the hotel, saw the five or six fallen men on the ground, frowned, and immediately ordered the others to pursue, while he got into a car with three subordinates and sped away.
"Call headquarters, order a full-scale manhunt, I refuse to believe this kid can fly." Wu Chi was clearly furious, now that He Shang was dead, and they had lost several Black Alliance experts, if Red-eyed Eagle dared to shelter Lin Xiaoting, then a Black Alliance internal conflict was inevitable.
"Should we directly tell the President and have her give orders?" One subordinate hesitated for a moment.
After all, the President had recently given orders not to hunt down Chen Tianlong, but now they were acting privately. If Red-eyed Eagle found out, would she be enraged?
"No, do as I say, with the Second-in-Command in charge, the President wouldn’t dare act rashly. After all, she was in the wrong in this matter, for an assistant, she disregarded our Black Alliance’s leaders. First, Mr. Songmu was killed, and now even He Shang met an untimely end. If we don’t find Chen Tianlong and skin him alive, it will be difficult to appease the anger of the Black Alliance brethren." Wu Chi analyzed.
"Understood, boss, I’ll make the call." The subordinate understood and dialed the Second-in-Command’s assistant.
Soon, the Second-in-Command Thunder Tiger agreed with Wu Chi’s actions, dispatching hundreds of experts to capture Chen Tianlong.
On the other side, after escaping the hotel, Chen Tianlong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he hid in a corner, waited for the others to leave, and then emerged.
However, he immediately remembered Lin Xiaoting’s words: the list somehow got into Red-eyed Eagle’s hands, and he must retrieve it from there; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to face his master. Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong wanted to inquire about his senior brother’s whereabouts.
Logically, the data should be with his senior brother. If Red-eyed Eagle received it, it would definitely be connected to him. If his senior brother met any mishap or was secretly captured, that would be catastrophic.
After figuring it all out, Chen Tianlong set off towards the Black Alliance headquarters courtyard.
The Black Alliance territory resembled a city, and the headquarters courtyard was the core place for high-ranking Black Alliance leaders to work and live, where Red-eyed Eagle no doubt had her villa.
These days were truly vexing; the twenty-year-old Red-eyed Eagle had not had a moment’s peace since taking over the Black Alliance. She knew many in the gang disrespected her, calling her a mere woman and claiming she mishandled many matters.
Honestly, if it weren’t for her extraordinary talent and outstanding strength, the Black Alliance’s top brass would have banded together against her long ago. To survive, she had no choice but to wear a mask of violence and coldness.
"Xiaoting, I’m truly sorry this time, I can’t help you anymore." Red-eyed Eagle felt some self-reproach, as the highest leader of the Black Alliance, she couldn’t even protect her best friend.
With two leaders dead, the entire Black Alliance was publicly outraged, calling for Chen Tianlong to be torn apart piece by piece. If she still intervened to help Lin Xiaoting now, it would clearly go against everyone, easily inciting public anger.
Outside the headquarters.
"Report, Fourth-in-Command, Chen Tianlong somehow entered our headquarters area privately; what should we do next?" The subordinate just received information from the tech department; multiple cameras detected Chen Tianlong’s presence.
After all, this was the Black Alliance, equipped with the most secretive and cutting-edge surveillance technology. Chen Tianlong could evade the cameras but didn’t realize they had satellite monitoring, and his body data had been locked, completely out of their control.
"Where’s his destination?" Wu Chi frowned. What exactly was this guy planning? Generally, after escaping, people would think about how to leave the Black Alliance territory, but now he’s heading straight for the Black Alliance center; it’s simply walking into a trap.
"The President’s villa courtyard!"
"What!"
Wu Chi was shocked; this Chen Tianlong must have immense courage. Instead of avoiding the Black Alliance headquarters, he chose to approach Red-eyed Eagle. This guy was ruthless; now it’ll be interesting to watch.
"Haha, everyone can relax now. This guy is seeking his own death; we’ll monitor the surroundings, report any incident immediately, but don’t act rashly." Wu Chi instructed.
Hearing that Chen Tianlong broke into Red-eyed Eagle’s courtyard, he felt relieved.
Everyone knows what kind of person Red-eyed Eagle is, especially the leaders. She despises men entering her courtyard, and so far, even Wu Chi hasn’t been there; only the Second-in-Command Thunder Tiger has been there a few times, and only for very short periods.
Now Chen Tianlong wants to go in, he surely won’t come out alive, and Wu Chi doesn’t need to lift a finger.
"Understood!" The subordinate took the orders and quickly made arrangements.
Outside the Red-eyed Eagle Courtyard.
After observing for a while, Chen Tianlong found it strange; only two servants stood at the gate, and a forty-something aunt was inside the villa, but there was virtually no one else around.
However, with Red-eyed Eagle’s skills, anyone who dared challenge her was doomed.
Having assessed the situation inside, Chen Tianlong took a running start and jumped over the wall, landing softly without making a sound.
Evidently, the two guards outside hadn’t noticed. After landing, Chen Tianlong didn’t linger, instead sneaking directly into the villa. In the kitchen area, he found the aunt organizing dishes, likely Red-eyed Eagle’s servant.
Red-eyed Eagle had just eaten not long ago, practiced briefly, and then entered the shower room to bathe; it was over nine o’clock. As a woman managing major affairs, she undoubtedly needed self-care. Thus, unlike the urban career women who stay up late, she valued early sleep for better health.
After bathing, Red-eyed Eagle habitually wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the shower room, considering it was a hot day and she was in her own room.
Throughout the villa, other than the two male guards at the entrance, only the aunt was left; typically, those guards wouldn’t enter the villa, only staying outside. Even in exceptional cases, they’d call first and enter only with permission.
As a result, Red-eyed Eagle became more uninhibited, wearing bolder outfits.
