Chapter 658 - The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind (1/2)

After so many years of planning by the consortiums and smuggling all these people into Luoyang City through coordination with the Xu clan’s renegades, they were all defeated in just a single day.

Under the siege of the Riders, some of the supernatural beings fled their separate ways. If it were only a few Riders who had shown up here, they would not have left in such a hurry.

But the garrison troops had already arrived at both ends of Wangchunmen Boulevard. The armored vehicles and heavy machine guns were not to be trifled with. No matter how powerful the supernatural beings were, there was no reason for them to go all out against the troops.

Otherwise, they would not have gone through so much trouble and tried to capture Jiang Xu, Zhou Yingxue, and Hu Shuo.

Second Brother Kong was sitting in the hidden residence. The lights in the living room were not on, his face shrouded in darkness.

He suddenly said, “Actually, we were all wrong. From the moment that superhuman from the Northwest appeared, we should’ve withdrawn.”

No one responded to him in the darkness. Everyone had fallen silent.

Second Brother Kong was not a superhuman himself. He had only appeared here because he was in charge of the Kong Consortium’s intelligence and field operations.

He was also the first to make contact with the Xu clan’s relatives.

It could be said that Second Brother Kong was the one who sparked off everything that happened at Luoyang City.

The consortiums were well-prepared for this operation. Before embarking on it, they had even taken into account the Pyro Company’s strength.

When the consortiums realized the Pyro Company did not come to Qinghe’s aid, they even felt a little relieved. This way, their plan to take over the Qinghe Group would be much more secure.

But they did not expect the arrival of a young man from the Northwest would actually disrupt all of their plans.

From the moment they tried to attack Qinghe University to the failure of capturing Jiang Xu, it seemed that every step they took was wrong.

A single wrong move affected all subsequent moves. Perhaps the root of their mistake was that everyone had underestimated the impact a superhuman could have on the world.

Of course, they had also underestimated that superhuman’s maidservant.

While sitting in the dark living room, Second Brother Kong occasionally had thoughts that if they did not send the operatives to attack the residence at Junmin Alley and the orphanage earlier, the current situation would have been a little more favorable for them.

Second Brother Kong asked Wang Wenyan, who was sitting across from him, “What’s your Wang Consortium planning to do next? Will you follow through to the end and send your troops to attack Luoyang City or will you just accept defeat? And the Zhou Consortium, what are your next plans?”

The Zhou Consortium’s representative said with a sneer, “Second Brother Kong, are you trying to instigate the Central Plains into starting a war? I’m afraid that once the three consortiums assemble here at Luoyang City, no one can stop the war from happening.”

At that time, it would not be as simple as seizing Luoyang City anymore. When the three consortiums’ troops met, the flames of war would probably ignite across the entire Central Plains.

Second Brother Kong realized something was amiss. “Wang Wenyan?”

When he got up to turn on the lights, he realized Wang Wenyan had disappeared from the living room. There was only a black mist on the sofa across from him that was maintaining the silhouette of a human figure. When Second Brother Kong reached out to touch it, the black mist dissipated like a punctured balloon!

Second Brother Kong was stunned on the spot. “Where did Wang Wenyan go? He’s actually a superhuman?!”

All of them were sitting in the house just a moment ago, and Second Brother Kong was sure he did not hear anyone leaving through the door or windows. He did not even hear Wang Wenyan’s footsteps, but that person had somehow disappeared into thin air.

A second later, the sofa Second Brother Kong was sitting on started to glow a fiery red. A bomb that had been planted in the room exploded loudly, and the entire building was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.
