In this battle, Mo Ming's side achieved a complete victory, not only annihilating all of Dark Order's forces but also taking down their general, Iron Kong. This victory felt entirely deserved.
Dark Order only sent Iron Kong to lead the team, and while there was a chance for a sneak attack to severely injure the righteous souls, Mo Ming was stationed firmly, and with experts like Poisonous Madness, Lion, and Enchantress joining the fray, the enemy was simply no match.
Several people on Taylor's side were killed, and many were injured as well; however, this was expected. What pleased Taylor most about the cooperation was that they managed to uncover the spy that Dark Order had placed within their ranks.
Upon investigation, it was shocking to discover that the spy had infiltrated for nearly twenty years and had risen to a high position within their organization. This person was none other than Duo Beian, who could be considered Taylor's right-hand man.
No one would have expected that the seemingly frail Duo Beian possessed terrifying skills. Even Zuo You Tai struggled to subdue him. However, no matter how strong he was, could he outmatch firearms?
In the end, Duo Beian could only die with resentment from a bullet wound. According to investigations, Duo Beian's real name was Hoda, and he was a core member of Dark Order's Dark Devouring Hall as Vice Hall Master. Twenty years ago, he was ordered to infiltrate Tate's organization with the intent of devouring its power.
Besides Duo Beian, there were many other remnants who had also risen to high positions within Tate, acting like tumors that could be deadly at any moment. Upon discovering this situation, Tate felt immense gratitude towards Mo Ming; without Mo Ming's warning, he would have remained oblivious to the existence of spies.
"Jiang Zong—oh no, I should call you Asura now?" Taylor raised his glass to Mo Ming and said with a smile, "If you hadn't reminded me about the spy within our ranks, I might still be in the dark. My father asked me to thank you and is looking forward to our next collaboration."
"Hehe, we are partners working against a common enemy; there's no need for excessive thanks. The success of this plan is largely due to Young Master Taylor's excellent performance," Mo Ming raised his glass in return and drank it all in one go.
Upon hearing this, Taylor paused in surprise and exclaimed, "Performance?"
"Yes! That night, your men were like dogs biting... I misspoke; it should be an illusion technique that worked perfectly—it looked completely real!"
"Haha... Asura, that wasn't all an act; much of it was genuine. I did arrange for two groups to turn on each other—one led by Zuo Tai and the other hired a group of mercenaries," Taylor laughed boisterously. He never expected that such a shrewd person as Asura could be fooled by him.
"So you mean Zuo Tai had no idea about this?" Mo Ming's mind raced as he grasped what Taylor was saying but couldn't fully confirm his suspicions.
Taylor nodded: "Right. After I learned about the spy within our ranks, I trusted no one. I only told my father. After discussion, we decided to change the transaction location and revealed different locations to each high-ranking member. That’s how we confirmed that the spy was Duo Beian."
"But I seem to recall Zuo Tai mentioning changing locations; this was indeed part of the original plan—using fake guns for a fake act?"
This plan was proposed by Mo Ming, who naturally knew the original strategy: to first use fake guns to stage a mock gunfight to flush out the members of the Dark Order, and then use real weapons to deal with them. However, Taylor mentioned that Zuo Tai was unaware of this, which seemed contradictory.
"I said it before, aside from me and my father, no one understands this plan, so Zuo Tai is indeed in the dark. However, before leaving, I gave Zuo Tai a communicator to wear in his ear, while I directed him from afar. This way, when the Dark Order members appear, I can instruct him to switch to real guns in the car."
A cold and ruthless smile appeared on Taylor's lips as he said, "On the other side, the hired help has been using real guns all along. I am also remotely controlling them with a communicator. This is my opportunity for covert adjustments; otherwise, do you think they could act so convincingly?"
"I have to admit, you are truly cold-blooded. You can sacrifice your brothers without hesitation; you really are ruthless and unscrupulous."
This approach could very likely lead to Zuo Tai's death, yet Taylor remained resolute, showing no concern for Zuo Tai's life. Thinking about this made Mo Ming's expression darken; he felt some aversion towards Taylor's methods. Such behavior clearly indicated a willingness to sacrifice brothers for the sake of dealing with enemies. From this, Mo Ming clearly recognized Taylor's character: sinister and cruel, willing to go to any lengths to achieve his goals.
"Hmph, there is an old saying: those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters. If it weren't for this, it would be much harder to make the Dark Order members let their guard down!" Taylor snorted coldly, his gaze sharp and malicious. "Shura, you are quite capable; however, your compassion will only harm you. It may be too late for regrets later."
"We also have an old saying: those who do not share the same path cannot make plans together. I believe that my views differ significantly from those of Young Master Taylor, making further cooperation difficult."
Taylor's cunning and strength were impressive; having such an ally would be a rare advantage against the Dark Order. This had been Mo Ming's previous thought. However, now he was reconsidering. Someone who could betray his brothers at any moment might just as easily stab you in the back.
"Though our paths differ, our enemy remains the same. The Dark Order seeks to infiltrate our ranks, which greatly violates our bottom line. If we ignore this threat, the Dark Order will only become more rampant."
Taylor narrowed his eyes into a dangerous arc as he raised his glass to his lips and elegantly took a small sip. "Dealing with the Dark Order entrenched in the underground world is no easy task. Clearly, relying solely on our strength is insufficient; only through cooperation can we hope to confront them."
Regardless of whether he disliked Taylor's ruthless methods or not, Mo Ming could not refuse such a capable partner. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to accept Tate's cooperation for now; as long as he remained cautious, there should not be too many problems.
"Hehe, Young Master Taylor's words have indeed awakened me. Everyone has different perspectives; as long as we have a common enemy, we can be allies." Mo Ming raised his glass and smiled slightly. "Let's drink to that! May our cooperation be fruitful in bringing down the Dark Order!"
"Good! I knew I didn't misjudge you, Shura! To our success!"
Taylor raised his glass with a wicked smile and clinked it with Mo Ming's. As they drank, his gaze lingered on Mo Ming, showing a hint of pride, while Mo Ming returned the look, both harboring their own thoughts.
Taylor was confident about the collaboration and had no worries that Mo Ming would refuse. He knew Mo Ming wasn't foolish; he understood that going solo was not a match for their enemies. Only through cooperation could they devise a good strategy to defeat strong opponents.
Setting down his glass, Taylor wore a strange smile as he looked at Mo Ming and said, "Asura, I actually admire men like you. I wonder if you might be interested in..."
"Get lost! I can't stand your type. I oppose your lifestyle. Just do me a favor and don't gross me out; I'm not interested in you at all!"
Mo Ming felt goosebumps rise at Taylor's words, quickly grasping the implication behind them. He interrupted the uncomfortable topic immediately; if it continued, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't beat up this perverted Taylor.
"Haha, there's no need to be shy. This is an open era; such things are quite common in Europe and America. Nowadays, the internet says that men and women are just for procreation, while men find true love with other men."
Taylor paid no mind to Mo Ming's response and shamelessly continued to tease him, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of spring.
"Stop right there! Seriously, if you keep talking like this, I won't be able to resist hitting you." Mo Ming made a gesture to halt the conversation and emphasized again, "I'm really not interested in you at all; I only like women."
"If you're willing, I can become a woman."
"Come on! We're clearly not on the same wavelength here. There's no point in continuing this conversation. Anyway, we've wrapped up our business here, so I'll take my leave now. If anything comes up, we can get in touch." Mo Ming quickly stood up and walked a few steps toward the door before turning back sharply to say, "No need to see me off!"
After leaving Taylor's villa, Poisonous Madness arrived in a silver Hummer to pick up Mo Ming and headed straight for the airport. Their business here was concluded; it was time to return to Nanhua City.
Lion and his group took Song En back to their base, while Poisonous Madness requested to accompany Mo Ming to Nanhua City under the pretense of helping Liufeng train a core group of righteous souls. In reality, he wanted to enjoy the long-awaited company of beautiful women in Nanhua City.
Mo Ming was well aware of Poisonous Madness's ulterior motives but chose not to expose him. After all, it was only a matter of time before Poisonous Madness would go to Nanhua City to develop members of the righteous souls. Since he was volunteering now, it aligned with Mo Ming's intentions, so he didn't stop him.
On the way to the airport, Mo Ming removed the disguise he had been wearing for a long time and returned to his previous appearance. His face had even become slightly paler, with subtle traces at the junction of his chin and neck.
"Ha ha, boss, did someone cut off your neck and then reattach it? That's hilarious! Should we take a picture to commemorate this?"
"Shut up!" Mo Ming grumbled as he rubbed the scar on his neck, which wouldn't come off. "If I had known there would be this embarrassing 'three-eight' dividing line, I would have never agreed to this."
"Hey, don't be sad, boss. I've been researching a new drug that can make your skin perfectly white. Want to give it a try?"
Poisonous Madness said in a strange tone, immediately earning Mo Ming's disdain. "Sad? I'm not sad about anything! Stop talking like a little girl. I really want to punch you in the face. And that so-called drug of yours is just poison; if it makes your skin white, it probably drains all the blood out of you!"
"Ha ha... you really know me, boss. Indeed, that stuff is a new type of poison I invented; it will definitely make your blood disappear in an instant." Poisonous Madness chuckled and added, "If you're tired of living, you can come to me for a test."
"Get lost! The farther away, the better!"
The two laughed as they arrived at the airport and rented a parking space for a year nearby. They left the car there, which was originally given by Taylor. If they came back for a trip later, they could use it for fun and save quite a bit of money.
The flight tickets were already purchased, and they arrived at the airport just in time—only twenty minutes left before takeoff. After passing through security, Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness boarded the plane. Shortly after sitting down, Mo Ming heard someone calling his name.
"Mo Ming! What are you doing here?!"
