Looking at Lagos' body, the Home Faction was furious, but they did not have the guts to challenge the current Han Xiao. A living example was lying in front of them, and their faces were full of excitement.
At this time, Todd stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice, "This was all Lagos' decision. He deserved it. I can make the decision, and the Home Faction will not hold a grudge because of this."
The Home Faction was surprised. They did not expect Todd to step out at this time, and even admit defeat.
Han Xiao did not comment and asked, "You are?"
"Todd, Delot's brother, Lagos' uncle. I'm in charge of the Home Faction now." Todd forced himself to be calm.
The Home Faction had a weird look in their eyes. They were amazed by Todd's ability to take advantage of the situation. Once Lagos died, he immediately took over as the leader. However, what Todd said was exactly what they were thinking, so no one said anything. They silently agreed with Todd's position.
The powerful reinforcements they had invited were easily killed. Han Xiao's strength was overwhelming. Everyone knew that if they still wanted to cause a conflict now, they would be asking for death.
The other factions had different expressions, but they all had the same thought.
Black Phantom cannot be provoked!
"Give me another room." Han Xiao took back all kinds of machines and glanced at the ruins.
"I'll arrange it for you," Xiao Ming said hurriedly after receiving Xiao Jin's signal.
After Han Xiao left, the higher-ups of the various factions looked at each other.
"Black Phantom has overwhelming strength and does not care about being our enemy, but he still insists that he is not the murderer. Maybe he really did not do the assassination," Se Qi said.
"But Lagos died in his hands, this is a new grudge …" the leader of the Northern School said.
Todd interrupted him and said, "Lagos brought this upon himself. We, the Home Sect, will not hold a grudge against him for revenge."
Everyone looked at him with disdain, selectively forgetting that they also thought the same.
"Then what about Black Phantom …" someone asked.
Leaving an invincible monster in the headquarters was like having a fishbone stuck in his throat. He felt very insecure.
Xiao Jin said indifferently, "He just wants to wash away the suspicion. When the truth is out, he will naturally leave, so don't provoke him."
…
Arriving at the new house, Han Xiao woke up the captive Hidden Demon. He had implanted a tracking device in the hidden Demon's body. Even though it was invisible to the naked eye, he could still determine its location.
"What are you trying to do?" The Hidden Demon was terrified.
Han Xiao took off his Viper and put the equipment into his bag. He said with interest, "I heard that your invisibility ability came from an accident during an experiment. Your skin has mutated. If I peel off your skin, it'll definitely be worth a lot of money."
The Hidden Demon broke out in cold sweat. "Don't, don't do anything rash."
"You are now my captive. Do you think you have the right to negotiate?"
The Hidden Demon was speechless. Han Xiao stopped teasing him and knocked him out, injected him with a strong hypnotic agent, tied him up, and threw him aside. Han Xiao did not kill the Hidden Demon at the moment because the Dark Net had a bounty for the Hidden Demon. If he was alive, he could be exchanged for a sum of money. He was prepared to accept the mission and hand over the Hidden Demon. Completing the mission immediately would maximize the benefits.
In this conflict, Han Xiao had displayed overwhelming strength. The Overmera did not dare to offend him at all. Under the premise of absolute strength, his decision to stay reduced the suspicion of many factions.
Moreover, Han Xiao was currently in an unsolvable situation. Now, it was the Overmera that did not want to have a conflict with him. This time, the Overmera wanted to provoke a conflict between him and the Overmera, but it had almost failed. At the very least, the Overmera did not dare to face him directly.
However, this was not enough. The instigator was still not found. Han Xiao felt that there were two possibilities. The first was that the instigator gave up on their plan and continued to hide. The second was that they wanted to find a way to salvage the situation or even attack him. However, the possibility of the latter was not high. He had already proven that he was not someone to be trifled with.
After Lagos died, the Home Faction became very low-key. Todd did not hold any grudges. He was more concerned with the benefits in front of him. Other than organizing people to investigate Delot's assassination, he was also secretly contacting various factions to gain support for the successor selection.
With Delo's death, his son, Lagos, was the most likely successor, but he was killed by Han Xiao. Now, the successor's position was completely up in the air. All the factions had ulterior motives and were eyeing the power of the head of the family. It was a sign of a storm.
On the surface, everyone was concerned about the truth of Delot's death, but in fact, they were secretly more concerned about the successor selection.
Of course, before the assassin was found, the selection would not start.
Han Xiao was the main person involved in this incident, but he was also an outsider. He did not care about this. These days, he was cooped up in his room and gathered information through the Dark Net Intelligence Network and the Bamboo Rain Guild. He was searching for information about the Overmera.
After two days, Xiao Jin came to his door and said that he had found an important clue.
"After checking the guards and surveillance cameras that night, and comparing the testimonies and videos, I found some clues. That night, an assistant of a senior member of the Northern School went out and disappeared for 27 minutes.
"This senior member of the Northern School is called Su Dinghua. He is 45 years old and is a local of the Northern Continent. He has always been very low-key. In fact, I have been paying attention to him for a long time. When I planted a spy in the Northern School, I found out that Su Dinghua was secretly in cahoots with Raylan. His assistant was also changed a few years ago, which happened to be the same year that Su Dinghua and Raylan started to contact."
There were many senior members who secretly contacted other factions, but they all had their own plans. However, Su Dinghua was obviously instigated by Raylan.
Xiao Jin brought a lot of evidence. Han Xiao looked through it, and the evidence did indeed point to Su Dinghua.
Han Xiao thought about it carefully. Overmera was a partner of Theseus. Weakening Overmera was equivalent to weakening Theseus. This would make Overmera a strong enemy and cause internal strife. As a third party, Raylan could benefit from this, so they did have a motive to do this.
The Northern School was the most inconspicuous, but if there was a conspiracy, they were undoubtedly the most secretive party.
"Didn't the other factions find this information?" Han Xiao waved the document in his hand.
"I'm not sure." Xiao Jin shook his head. "I got the information about Su Dinghua secretly colluding with Raylan by coincidence. The other factions might not know."
"Then why are you looking for me?" Han Xiao asked.
"Raylan might have planted many experts around Su Dinghua to protect him. I hope you can help us capture Su Dinghua and his henchmen. This is also a good opportunity to clear the suspicion. I think you will want to do it yourself." Xiao Jin said sincerely. "If you want a reward, that's not a problem."
Han Xiao stared at Xiao Jin for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled. "Pay according to the market price. I'll help you this time."
"Okay." Xiao Jin nodded.
…
At night, Han Xiao began to move. Since he had revealed Viper, he also wore it this time. However, he did not equip the heavy mechanical arm. Infiltration did not require such a hard weapon.
Su Dinghua's mansion was relatively remote. Han Xiao took out his computer to hack into the area's network and froze the cameras. He then avoided the guards and climbed over the wall to enter the mansion.
Su Dinghua's mansion was located at the edge of the upper echelon. The defense of the mansion was weak. With Han Xiao's current level and strength, infiltration was not difficult at all.
He quietly went to the study. The lights were on. Han Xiao leaned against the wall and scanned his vision with his electromagnetic field. He found that there was no one in the study.
Han Xiao quietly walked in. He looked around. The building was made of ordinary bricks and wood. There was no special metal that could block detection. The layout of the room was clear.
Hmm? There's a hidden safe behind the painting beside the desk. Han Xiao's eyes flashed. Just as he was about to open the safe, he suddenly stopped.
After carefully looking around, Han Xiao did not care about the safe. Instead, he went to the desk and tried to open the drawers. They were all locked. However, this was not a problem for him. As a mechanic who could build guns and robots, it would be too embarrassing if he could not even open a lock.
Moreover, Han Xiao was very experienced in picking locks.
The drawers were filled with paper documents. They were all internal information of Overmera. There were also many reports. After flipping through them for a while, most of them were unimportant documents. However, he found a note with a string of numbers that seemed to be the safe's password. There was also a small metal key that seemed to be used to open the safe.
"It's too obvious." Han Xiao shook his head and closed the drawer. He did not take the key to open the safe.
A safe hidden behind a painting. This method was too common. The key and password were deliberately left behind. It was like a deliberate bait.
There was a high chance that the safe was a bait or a trap that would trigger the alarm. After all, the password of the safe was usually remembered by the person.
Of course, there was also the possibility that he guessed wrong. However, Han Xiao was only there to capture someone. Once he captured someone, he would open the safe.
When he came to the living room, Han Xiao heard voices. A few guards were chatting. Tactical Scan and Life Strength Database found that the strength of this group of enemies was around LV 20. They were not normal guards and could be Supers. If they were normal people, it meant that they were very elite and had a very high level of subclass.
"Looks like it's right." Han Xiao nodded. Su Dinghua's guards were hiding their strength. There was definitely something wrong.
He went upstairs and came to the bedroom. Su Dinghua was resting. Han Xiao directly rushed in and knocked out Su Dinghua before he could even scream. He then tied him up with a blanket.
There were eight guards in the mansion, as well as Su Dinghua's assistant. Han Xiao did not plan to let anyone go.
Back in the living room, Han Xiao did not hide anymore and directly broke in.
"Who is it?" The guards hurriedly pulled out their guns.
However, with the powerful mechanical suit, these four guards were knocked over in just two to three seconds.
The commotion attracted attention. The radar detected that other guards were quickly approaching. Han Xiao directly broke through the wall, and with a loud boom, knocked over the guards one by one.
Su Dinghua's assistant hid the best. He was around LV 40, but he still could not hold on for more than ten seconds before Han Xiao broke his arms and legs and knocked him unconscious. The difference in strength was too big, but it was not difficult for Han Xiao.
Han Xiao's destructive power was like demolition. The entire mansion was a mess, and the rumbling sound could be heard.
Outside the mansion, Xiao Jin was already on standby. Seeing that Han Xiao had succeeded, he immediately rushed in with his men. He saw that Su Dinghua and his guards were thrown in the yard, and no one had escaped.
Han Xiao stood at the side and did not plan to leave.
Xiao Jin did not avoid Han Xiao and directly interrogated Su Dinghua and the others in the yard, waking them up with water.
Su Dinghua saw this and knew that they had been exposed.
"… How did you find out?" Su Dinghua was shocked and disappointed.
