Chapter 389: shocked ! (1/2)
Hao Mi recieved a report on her desk stating that heavy casualties were observed inside the mercury village stronghold in Nineclouds kingdom.
It was reported that the Hazelgroove kingdom army took down the fort in under one day , and that the territory was completely lost.
However the most disturbing fact was that , the leader of the Elites , Rudra was seen leading the charge of the army , and is rumored to be the mastermind behind the operation.
Coupled with the fact that the Elites posted a post increasing the crowd traffic inside the village , it was assumed that they were the masterminds behind the operation.
This absolutely changed the meaning of the defeat for Hao Mi , who hated Rudra to the bone. She was already humiliated by the leader of the Elites in Purplehaze city. Yet now even before she could avenge that humiliation , Rudra was back out meddling in her buisness again.
Further intelligence report suggested that the most likely target of the conquest army next was the Fort Magma and that Rudra would most likely lead charge against it as well.
Hao Mi hence decided to quadruple the mercenary count at fort Magma for no extra cost , and even deployed her first in command Jackson Ryker and the best of her Elite players as added security.
Hao Mi wanted a video of a humiliating defeat of the Hazelgroove army on her desk. However , expectations betray reality , as ontop of the devastating defeat of Mercury village , there was also another report on her desk that was worrisome.
Nearly 220 gang members of a cartel under her command were found dead , with their neck pierced by daggers , yesterday by the local police.
It was one of a string of incidents that had been continually happening over the last 2 weeks. Hao Mi was already loosing nearly 100 million dollar weekly because the supply chain had been, disrupted. However with the complete wipe of yet another cartel , it was going to increase even more .
She banged her desk in frustration , she could not understand why these string of problems were happening. The culprit did not match the general pattern of any known major player.
A high class mercenary using daggers was still unknown in the underworld and she could not pinpoint the culprit , as his face remained unseen , the only thing the footage review revealed was that he wore a pure black single coat that was stocked with assasin daggers to the brim.
She gave out an order to tighten the security in other cartels and put them on high alert , any more of such events and she would suffer a serious operation loss. She swore , that the day she got her hands on the man causing her these problems , she would make him pay.
Ethan Grey , Rudra Rajput and this one Unknown man , they were currently the 3 people Hao Mi hated the most.
