The Crimson Orchid Society was the largest mafia organization in Glio City. It engaged in all sorts of illegal activities and had several highly mature mercenary groups under its command.
Mei Li, who had fallen into the septic tank and died, was one of the members of the Crimson Orchid Society.
Before Huaguo Water Curtain Group had acquired the Snail Hotel Chain, the previous owner of the Snail Hotel had regularly paid the Crimson Orchid Society a security management fund to maintain order in the hotels.
In layman's terms, it was protection money.
But now that Huaguo Water Curtain Group had taken over, the Crimson Orchid Society had lost a way to collect large amounts of funds without taking any risks.
Of course, the Crimson Orchid Society wouldn't let it go so easily, so they decided to send a team leader called Mei Li to cause trouble before making a big fuss, as a warning.
The president of the Crimson Orchid Society was also taking a gamble.
He was betting that if he made a scene, Lotus Sun would get scared and continue to pay protection money like the previous owner of the Snail Hotel, and he would be able to enjoy the profits without any effort.
However, the president of the Crimson Orchid Society, Levis, hadn't expected that Mei Li would actually die …
And that her death had nothing to do with the Snail Hotel.
At least not on the surface.
The video recorded by the surveillance camera clearly captured the scene of Mei Li cursing as she walked out of the hotel. Because she did not look at the road, she was directly loaded into the sewer by a truck and fell into the septic tank …
The president of the Crimson Orchid Society, Levis, trembled all over at the sight.
"President … is there really no hope for team leader Mei Li? He's in the late golden core stage … "a female secretary beside Levis asked fearfully.
"It's no use even if he's in the golden core stage. In Glio City, the average level of cultivators is at the early golden core stage. The quality of cultivators is very high. Moreover, the filth in the septic tank is also the toxins excreted by cultivators at or above the Gold Core stage. Mei Li was surrounded by so many mixed toxins, it would be very difficult for her to hold on … "When Levis said this, even he himself felt a little nauseous.
Such a way of dying was unprecedented. It could be said to be tragic.
This group of people was simply too daring ….
They'd only just arrived in Glio City, yet they dared to plan such a sophisticated murder!
Levis was a little puzzled.
Who was it? This was the real evil force …
"President, could this be a pure coincidence?"
"It can't be a coincidence!"
Levis shook his head. "It's obvious … this is a provocation. Huaguo Water Curtain Group + War Sect, their intelligence gathering ability would definitely not be weak. She must have known that Mei Li was a member of the Crimson Orchid Association. In a situation where you already know the identity of the target, you still plan such an intricate murder … This courage is really not ordinary. "
As he spoke, Levis frowned. Lotus Sun had given him a show of strength as soon as they arrived in Glio City, forcing him to reconsider his strategy.
He knew very well that his current opponents were different from those he had faced in the past.
Just half a year ago, the once flourishing Shadow Stream assassin organization had been targeted and wiped out because it had provoked Huaguo Water Curtain Group … Thus, they had to be especially cautious and cautious.
At that moment, the female secretary saw Levis flipping through files on Shadow Stream and couldn't help asking, "President, what are you worried about?"
"Of course I'm worried that we might repeat Shadow Stream's mistakes." Levis said, "Although the official statement about Shadow Stream says that the person who destroyed this organization was that Odd Zhuo, who has recently risen to fame in Huaxiu nation."
"The person who stopped the demon king from descending six years ago?"
"That's him." Levis frowned. "But I have a feeling that he's blocking this matter for someone. Of course, these are all my guesses … "
While he was talking to his secretary, there was an urgent knock on the door.
"Come in," said Levis.
A security guard in a black suit pushed open the door and entered. "President, there's a nun called Ali looking for you. She says she has something important to discuss with you. "
"Nun? Which church? "
"Saint Peter."
"Invite her in."
"Yes …"
The security guard responded and quietly retreated. Less than two minutes later, a graceful woman in a black church robe and a veil over her face entered through the door.
This nun called Ali didn't look very old and was about the age of a high school student. She had a very iconic tear-shaped mole at the corner of her eye.
However, his every movement exuded a sense of steadiness and mystery, which seemed to greatly deviate from his age.
"Hello, President Levis. I'm Nun Ali of Saint Peter's Church. This time, I have something to discuss with you. "Ai Li said.
"I don't remember our Crimson Orchid Association having any dealings with Saint Peter."
Levis stared at Ali and said, "And my current location is one of the Crimson Orchid Association's secrets. How did you know I was here? "
Levis stood up and lit the cigar in his hand. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the nun in front of him and said, "There's only one possibility. You're not here on behalf of Saint Peter."
"Oh? President Levis's words are quite interesting. "
"You don't have to pretend in front of me."
Levis waved his hand and smiled. "You're the Tengu. Am I right? Other than the Tengu, I'm afraid no one else has this kind of information gathering ability. Saint Peter is just your coat. You're working for the Tengu. "
"As expected of the president of the Crimson Orchid Association."
The nun called Ali smiled.
"You Tengu are also interesting. In the past, you've always been a wolf hiding in the shadows. Why are you playing openly now? Aren't you afraid that the prophet will investigate and kill you? "
"Since the enemy is different, we naturally have to change our tactics."
Ali smiled. "I'm here on behalf of the Tengu this time to offer advice to President Levis. We've just received intelligence that a subordinate named Merry has died. "
"That's true." Levis nodded.
"To tell you the truth, our Tengu is currently looking for an opportunity to target Huaguo Water Curtain Group and Battle Sect. We're deeply sorry that your subordinate died, but the truth is that he has already contributed to this matter, "said Ali.
"Go on." Levis's interest was piqued.
"It's very simple, Mr Levis. Our top priority now is to restrict these people from Huaguo Water Curtain Group from leaving the country. "
Nun Ali said, "According to Mixiu's entry and exit regulations, anyone who is accused in the country can't leave Mixiu's borders. Of course, the other party may be able to escape using a teleportation array, but if they do, it proves that they're guilty. So they have no choice but to stay and clarify the facts. "
"You mean to restrict them all to Glio City?"
Levis smiled and nodded. "Interesting. Glio City is our turf. As long as we can keep them here, it's up to us how we deal with them. If we let them go like this, it'll be hard to deal with them. "
"That's what I mean." Ali nodded.
"But from what you're saying, you want to charge them with murder. But Huaguo Water Curtain Group's legal team isn't to be trifled with. "
"You don't have to worry about this, President Li. We've already found information on the truck driver, "said Ali.
"As long as it's proven that the truck driver was hired by Huaguo Water Curtain Group, he'll be charged with murder. And that Miss Sun will be detained in Glio City as a bargaining chip for our negotiation with Battle Sect … "
