201 Meeting at the Hong Sec (2/2)

”I have carried Master Lei's body with me.” Romon said with a frosty face.

”I still can't believe it. Lei Qianjue is the most powerful fighter of our sect, it would take at least three Awakened, or the Grandmasters if you must call it that way, to pull it off.”

The auburn-haired women shrugged her shoulders. Even the whites of her eyes were tainted red, it looked as if her tears would also be red.

”Which one of our opposition would be able to rally more than three Grandmasters? The Dragon Hall, or the Square Tower?” A black man put in. His burgeoning muscles gave off a metallic sheen as if they were made out of cast iron.

The big man was two meters tall. And just like Tong Shan, his muscles were as hard as steel and were filled with explosive energy.

He was Buck, the Diamond, underboss from Northern Africa.

A light flickered in Zoro's eyes as he recalled the power of the black man.

Rumor had it that his body was incredibly tough, so much so that he could stop bullets from a machine gun with his flesh. A warlord in Northern Africa used to hire an assassin to assassinate him. However, the sniper rifle couldn't even penetrate through his thick skull. The assassin was later captured by Buck, and was torn into pieces by Buck with his bare hands.

”He is a mad dog, I won't want to mess with him.” Zoro thought to himself.

Zoro took a sip of the wine and shook his head.

”It was neither the Dragon Hall nor anyone from China.”

”It was a young man… a young man less than twenty years old.” Romon said with a solemn face.

”Less than twenty years old? How was that possible?” Everyone was shocked by the news. Even Zoro was caught by surprise. The old man in the traditional Chinese suit was the only person who was able to keep calm.

”Even the most powerful martial artist Ye Nantian in China didn't become a Grandmaster until he was thirty. Plus, not just any Grandmaster could have threatened Lei Qianjue, much less killing him.” Buck spoke under his breath.

”I have seen it with my own eyes. Chen Beixuan's power had exceeded my expectation. I wager that he already reached Immortal State.” Romon said seriously.

”Bullshit! Immortal State Warriors are no longer mortals. They are gods. Plus, how could there be such a young Immortal State fighter?” The auburn-haired woman piped up. Her doubt was shared by the other guests in the room.

Zoro put down his wine glass and thought wistfully.

He didn't become a Grandmaster until he was thirty. By now, his ability to control the lightning had earned him the nickname: Thunder King. He was considered the most powerful fighter among the younger generation of the Hong Sect, and was expected to enter Immortal State one day.

Nonetheless, his achievement couldn't compare with that of Chen Beixuan. To be an Immortal State fighter at the age of twenty was was unheard of.

”Even if he has not reached Immortal State, neither was he far from it.” Romon shook his head and lamented.

”As long as he has not reached the Immortal State, we should be able to kill him. No Grandmaster could withstand the combined might of all of us. ”A scrawny old man said coldly.

His body was shrouded in a cold air that seemed to come from the great depths of the ocean.

The other underbosses nodded in agreement. Although none of them could have faced off Lei Qianjue alone, the combined might of all of them could definitely bring down even the most powerful Grandmaster.

Therefore, they were confident that as long as they fought in a team, they should be able to do away with Chen Beixuan.

The power of just one underboss could topple the Lu family with ease, and there were six of them. Combined with the kingpin at the headquarters, they were at least ten times stronger than the Lu family. So powerful was the Hong Sect, that when united, it's might could rival an average-size nation.

The more powerful they were, the more they were afraid of the superpowers of the world. China was one of the superpowers on earth that possessed nuclear capabilities. Even the Hong Sect dared not to rile up such a powerful nation.

The Hong Sect had staged numerous coups in Northern Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, amassing thousands of well-equipped militias with ease. However, their power would seem pathetic before the Superpowers.

”We need to plan well before we make a move on Chen Beixuan. It would be best if we could lure him out of China to our territory before we do away with him.”

”What if he won't rise to the bait?” The woman asked.

”Then we will have to force him out.” The old man in traditional Chinese suit smiled coldly and said: ”I have issued a billion-dollar bounty on Chen Beixuan across the world.”

”The Blood Skull, Vipers, and the Shadow had all picked up the job. I wager that Chen Beixuan would have already been killed by waves of assassins after him before we even get to him.”

After hearing the news, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

None of them could have survived continuous assassination attempts so they wagered that neither could Chen Fan .

”Poor Chen Beixuan.” The auburn-haired woman lamented, however, the excited light in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

The Hong Sect controlled assets that were worth trillions of dollars and they were extremely well connected in the underground criminal world. If they really want someone dead, they could always pay someone else to do it for them.
