Chapter 1907 - What Is The Mystery Behind That Bullet? (1/2)
“Bang—”
The doors to the meeting room were thrown open. Under Si Yiyan’s leadership, the different forces participating in the plan against the Korean-Chinese Alliance had followed his directions accordingly and finally managed to eliminate the alliance’s influence in Russia all at once.
The only regret was that Wei Che remained at large.
This operation had been hailed as a “snake-catching” mission. From launch till the end, the entire thing lasted three days and three nights. The participating forces more or less spent the whole duration inside the mission command room, forgoing sleep, so as to be informed of the status of the operation at all times.
Their opponent was the rampant, scheming, and fearsome Korean-Chinese Alliance. Hence, it was not all smooth sailing during the mission. The alliance’s cunning and precision had come into full play, and many sudden and unexpected situations had arisen. It was solely thanks to Rex’s quick wits and cunning that they achieved their successful result.
Duke Berveld laughed loudly. “We have finally rooted out the terrifying plague that is the Korean-Chinese Alliance from Russia. This mission was a success all thanks to Rex and Lucifer’s tremendous efforts!”
The Berveld Family was the lead representative of the aristocratic families in Russia who were cooperating with Lucifer. The entire partnership had gone on rather well.
Si Yiyan said mildly, “Duke, you are too kind.”
Duke Berveld asked warmly, “I wonder how is Miss Bella lately? I still regret missing the chance to meet her when she came to Russia. Rex, don’t keep Miss Bella hidden away. Bring her to Russia again for a holiday when you get the chance. The Berveld Family will take good care of you and Miss Bella.”
Although the Berveld Family had always been working with Lucifer, they were not on close terms. Their past interactions had always been based on their own personal interests.
Duke Berveld’s warm attitude and his mention of Bella was because he wished to maintain a good relationship with Lucifer.
The corners of Si Yiyan’s lips softened slightly at the mention of Xinya. “Thank you, Duke. I will definitely bring her to Russia to visit you when we get the chance.”
Duke Berveld grinned happily.
At this moment, the representative of Russia’s military, General Lance, walked over and said to Si Yiyan, “Rex, on behalf of Russia’s military, I thank you for your great efforts in cooperating with us to eliminate the Korean-Chinese Alliance and bringing this mission to perfect completion. But the leader of this criminal group, Wei Che, remains at large, and we will still need Rex to help us pursue and capture him.”
Actually, during this partnership with Lucifer, the military had no intention of sitting idly by the sidelines just waiting to profiteer from the efforts of others. It was just that this Rex was too formidable. He had pulled both the Berveld Family and the entire military into one flawless formation with Lucifer, such that they didn’t even get the chance to make any moves.
Now that Wei Che was on the run, they had no choice but to make use of Lucifer’s power to conduct an all-out manhunt for him.
Si Yiyan replied mildly, “General Lance, don’t worry. We will do our best.”
After dealing with those people, Si Yiyan returned to his manor and the first thing he did was to call Wen Xinya.
“Hello, the number you have just dialed is unavailable. Please try again later!”
Si Yiyan pursed his lips at the cold, mechanical voice of the answering service. The sharp angles of his face turned even harsher, as bone-chilling as an ancient piece of ice which had remained frozen for thousands of years.
This was the second time he had called her after arriving at Russia, and the second time he received this answering message.
