Outside a villa in Y Country, a ninja lay on the ground with both arms pierced by bullets. Blood flowed down from his wounds, and his face was pale to the extreme, as if he had only one breath left. With a strong will to survive, he had just stepped through the gate of the villa when he collapsed, unable to utter a sound.
Soon, several ninjas who had been observing from the shadows approached. One of them crouched down and lifted the injured ninja's shirt, revealing a demonic tattoo on his chest. He said, "That's right, he is one of ours. Hurry and carry him inside, and you go notify the leader!"
The group quickly lifted the wounded ninja and hurried into the villa while one of them went to inform the leader, hastily walking to a door at the top of the villa and knocking urgently.
"What are you so anxious about? Just say what you need!" A voice from inside responded with irritation, clearly angered by the ninja's impolite knocking.
The ninja who knocked couldn't help but shiver and lowered his head respectfully, saying, "I apologize, Yamada. Please forgive my rudeness; it’s just that things are too urgent, and I was anxious..."
At that moment, a figure emerged from the room, dressed in dark clothing but without a mask, revealing a resolute face with a hint of murderous intent. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be in his forties, with slightly furrowed brows that hinted at anger.
This person was Yamada Ikko, the leader of the Heavenly Ninja Group.
"Don't make excuses for your mistakes!" Yamada Ikko interrupted the ninja's words with a reprimand. "How many times have I told you that no matter what happens, you must remain calm? Can’t you understand the meaning of 'ninja'?"
"Yes," the ninja replied, not daring to argue and nodding heavily.
Yamada Ikko's expression turned cold as he said lightly, "Alright, you can speak now. What happened?"
"Yes, Yamada. The team sent out tonight has returned, but..." The ninja swallowed hard and continued, "Only one person came back; he is currently unconscious. It seems tonight's mission has failed..."
As soon as he mentioned the mission failure, Yamada Ikko's expression became difficult to bear. The ninja immediately recognized this and wisely closed his mouth.
"Hmph! To return after failing a mission is truly disgraceful for our Heavenly Ninja Group. Over three hundred people couldn't handle just a few opponents; it's utterly humiliating." Yamada Ikko said angrily. "Get someone to treat that useless fool. If he can't bring back any important information, let him commit seppuku! The Heavenly Ninja Group does not need useless members!"
Yamada Ikko waved his hand at the ninja to indicate he could leave.
"Yes." The ninja did not dare to say more; he nodded heavily before turning to leave.
"Shura?" Yamada Ikko muttered, his eyes suddenly filled with a terrifying killing intent. "Who exactly are you, to possess such dreadful power? However, since you have offended our Heavenly Ninja Group, hmph, you will pay a painful price for it!"
*****
Meanwhile, Mo Ming had led everyone back to the Dragon Soul Gang headquarters. The guards, upon seeing Mo Ming return, erupted in cheers of "Boss is mighty!" that echoed under the nearly clearing sky.
Hearing the shouts from outside the compound, Jessica rushed out with the other five leaders of the branches. They had been waiting all night for Lion and the others to rescue Mo Ming, and now their anxious hearts could finally relax.
At the moment Lion and the others left, Yin Eun-hye and several branch leaders were filled with worry. If they couldn't rescue Mo Ming and ended up sacrificing a group of Elites, the Dragon Soul Gang would suffer severe losses. At that point, dealing with the Frank Family would feel like walking into a grave.
"Shura Boss, it's great that you returned safely. You have no idea how worried we were when you were captured; the brothers kept talking about you," Yin Eun-hye said with a smile. "It's only been a few days since we last saw you, and you've become even more handsome."
"Alright, alright, Yin Eun-hye, you don't need to flatter me. I haven't even taken care of myself for days; how can I be considered handsome in this state?" Mo Ming replied with a wry smile. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I'm sorry; it's all my fault for being careless that led to your capture. I'm willing to accept any punishment; please punish me, Boss," Liu Wenjie said through gritted teeth, finally mustering the courage to apologize.
Liu Wenjie knew very well that his negligence was directly related to Mo Ming's capture. Rather than waiting for Mo Ming to punish him first, he thought it better to take the initiative and perhaps receive a lighter sentence.
The other branch leaders—Mario, Eda, Ethan, and Yin Eun-hye—exchanged glances, some feeling sympathy for Liu Wenjie. Although it seemed Liu Wenjie had the lightest burden that night, it was actually quite heavy because he would be held accountable for inadequate protection. Now Liu Wenjie was in such a situation.
To everyone's surprise, Mo Ming showed no anger at all. Instead, he smiled slightly at Liu Wenjie and said, "This isn't your fault; I also overlooked some things. Anyway, I'm back now, so I won't pursue your negligence. Just work hard for the Dragon Soul Gang in the future."
This time turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Mo Ming as he inexplicably broke through his bottleneck without significant losses. It was better to win over Liu Wenjie's loyalty and make him more devoted; why not?
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenjie felt a surge of emotion. He was surprised that Mo Ming did not hold his negligence against him. Even though Mo Ming had returned safely, one would expect him to use this opportunity as an example of what happens when one fails in their duties; yet Mo Ming did not do so.
"Shura Boss, I Liu Wenjie swear to heaven that from now on my life belongs to you! You can take it whenever you want; this lifetime—even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire—I am willing to face it with you!"
Mo Ming patted Liu Wenjie's shoulder and smiled slightly. "I don't need your life; you should keep it for yourself. Just follow me closely and work hard. I can guarantee that you will see a different world!"
After the recent growth of the Dragon Soul Gang, Mo Ming's strength has become undeniable. He definitely has the ability to lead the Dragon Soul Gang towards a brighter future. In response, Yin Eun-hye and others expressed, "We have become part of the Dragon Soul Gang and will definitely follow Shura Boss!"
"It's good that you think this way. I'm only here to handle one matter. Once it's done, I will leave," Mo Ming explained with a smile, noticing the frowns on Yin Eun-hye and the others' faces. "Don't worry, I'm just leaving. The Dragon Soul Gang will still be the Dragon Soul Gang, and when I leave, the position of leader will be handed over to Brother Ye."
Mo Ming looked at Night Peak and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, do you have confidence to take on this burden?"
"I must say, your decision has surprised me, Mo Ming. However, I am confident that I can take on this responsibility and will definitely make the Dragon Soul Gang even stronger!" Night Peak replied with a slightly surprised expression, followed by a confident smile as he gladly accepted.
Following Mo Ming was about making a significant impact, living boldly and passionately; even in death, it would not be in vain. Now that an opportunity lay before Night Peak, he naturally would not refuse it. A turning point in life often requires such an opportunity, and this would be Night Peak's turning point!
In fact, Mo Ming had already made this decision after observing Night Peak for some time. Night Peak is calm and composed, possessing a convincing charm. Since Mo Ming would definitely return to Nanhua City after completing his task, the Dragon Soul Gang here needed a leader, and Night Peak was the best choice.
"Well then, it's good to know that with you at the helm of the Dragon Soul Gang, I can rest easy," Mo Ming nodded and then glanced at Yin Eun-hye and the others with a cold gaze. "You all have no objections to my decision, right?"
"We have no objections at all. After all, everyone can see Evil Ghost's capabilities. If Shura Boss has other matters to attend to, then Evil Ghost is undoubtedly the best choice to manage the Dragon Soul Gang," Eda agreed.
It wasn't that they were intimidated by Mo Ming's authority; rather, they genuinely believed that Evil Ghost had enough capability to serve as a "compass" for the Dragon Soul Gang's progress. Therefore, they had no objections since they understood their own limitations regarding leadership.
Yin Eun-hye, Liu Wenjie, Mario, and Ethan also had no objections to this matter. Although they were once leaders or second-in-command positions within the gang, they did not hold as much status as Hall Master in the Dragon Soul Gang. Naturally, they had no dissatisfaction with their current positions or aspirations for leadership.
Seeing that they had no objections, Mo Ming said, "It's good that you all have no objections. For now, I will still hold the position of leader; thus, our mission remains unchanged: continue opposing the Frank Family!"
At that moment, Edith, who had been in shock until now, spoke up softly: "Um... didn't you say that as long as you returned safely, you would let me go? Now that you are safe, can I go back?"
"I did say that," Mo Ming replied kindly while looking at Edith. "However, those ninjas earlier clearly weren't here to rescue you but rather to kill you. I don't understand what your father is trying to do." He continued with a gentle smile: "But if you want to leave now, you can do so anytime. However, I can't guarantee whether it will be dangerous for you when you return."
"Ah! How could that be? My father wouldn't harm me; there must be some misunderstanding..." Edith recalled peeking around earlier and felt less confident now since those who wanted to kill her were indeed people close to her father.
"Lion, please find someone to take her back," Mo Ming instructed Lion.
The Lion nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have someone take her back now."
"No, I don't want to go back right now," Edith exclaimed, looking as if she might cry. The thought that her father wanted to kill her had a profound impact on the young girl's psyche.
"What's wrong now?"
Mo Ming smiled slightly. He was not surprised by Edith's change of heart. Just because she was young didn't mean she was foolish. Although Mo Ming had taken her captive, he had saved her when the ninjas tried to kill her, so she understood that this place was safe.
"I don't want to go back for now... Can I stay here for a while?" Edith said with a pleading tone.
"Well then, you can stay here for the time being," Mo Ming replied with a slight smile and said to Jessica, "Take her to her room to rest."
"Follow me," Jessica said as she stepped forward, taking the frightened Edith's hand and leading her toward the guest room.
Once Edith left, the Lion asked, "Boss, why aren't you sending her back? Do you have any plans?"
"I don't have any plans; it's just that tonight's events are too strange. If Reed truly intended to kill her, he wouldn't let us leave the castle. Right now, I still can't figure out what those ninjas are after, but I need to be cautious," Mo Ming explained.
