After the terrible battle, Xiang Yu survived as the only survivor.

Ayasi, who had regained her self-consciousness, didn't even look at him and left straight away.

Xiang Yu felt that as a shameless betrayer, he would definitely become the object of Ayasi's arbitration. But after Ayasi (Muse) killed the bodyguard, he was the only one left.

But this irritating nightmare image has already cast a shadow on his psyche.

Why did it become like this, if I tried a little harder, would the outcome change? Xiang Yu cursed his cowardly self from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't want to pursue the missing Aya anymore. Now he has only one goal, and that is to tell the Shadow Society the news that things have been messed up, and then sever all ties with Aya Si and leave ASEAN City directly.

In order to prevent getting into trouble, Xiang sent an email to the Shadow Society, which detailed the whole thing. However, Xiang Yu never expected that the Spirit Shadow Society would not give up on him.

After listening to the report of Xiang Xiang's bad and failed performance, the attitude of the Spirit Shadow Society was surprisingly good, and he specially invited Xiang Yu to visit the headquarters of the Spirit Shadow Society, and said that he would give part of the reward to Xiang Yu who completed the commission.

The reply was sent by the president of the Spirit Shadow Society himself, after all, the president had spoken personally, and he had to go.

For the Lingying Association, the business leader of ASEAN City, when he usually performs tasks, Xiang Yu also learned a lot from the news materials.

As an emerging business organization in ASEAN City, the Shadow Society's story is legendary. At the time of its establishment, it was in the right place at the right time, and it could be said that everything was occupied.

The headquarters of the Shadow Club is located in the center of ASEAN City, which is easily connected to all parties in ASEAN City. After laying a solid business foundation, the Shadow Club merged many high-level chambers of commerce through commercial acquisitions and other means, and became the largest business group in ASEAN. At the same time, since ASEAN City is an important hub between the eastern part of the federation and the capital, the Shadow Society also has an important commercial status in the entire eastern part of the federation.

However, there is something that can be called a black spot in the Spirit Shadow Society. In order to seek more advanced cooperation benefits, the Shadow Society has established good relations with other local organizations, but the Shadow Society's relationship with the Spirit Branch of the Creator Mechanism is not good. There is even some gossip in ASEAN City that the Shadow Society is a split organization of the Creator Organ's Spirits, an organization founded by traitors among them.

Without conclusive evidence, the governments of ASEAN cities can't do that much. The masses didn't know if someone was jealous and deliberately smeared the Spirit Shadow Society, and this black spot incident was over.

In short, the Shadow Society, an emerging organization at the big brother level in ASEAN.

A few days later, in the morning, Xiang Yu took a special car from the [Spirit Shadow Society] to pick up guests at the designated location.

The Shadow Club generally does not accept idle people who do not have leadership positions, and ordinary people who want to enter the Shadow Club must receive an invitation letter, and then be picked up by a special car within the Spirit Club.

After bypassing a few special passages, the special car smoothly drove into the main base of the Spirit Shadow Society.

The main base of the Shadow Society is located at a different address than the headquarters building where it usually works.

There is a large thriving Western-style manor house, with beautiful scenery and high walls that hide a large fairytale landscape. Let the passing terrans think that the president of the Spirit Shadow Society is a gentleman with leisure and elegance.

Shadow of the Spirit

The company's car slowly stopped in the manor's parking lot and announced that Xiang Yu had arrived at his destination.

The threshold of the special car was very high, and Xiang Yu jumped from the special car with great difficulty.

"Please go to the tallest building on that side, there will be an attendant who will take you in." The driver of the car pointed to a building to the east.

The main building of the Shadow Society's main base is said to be an ancient castle with a certain historical origin. I heard that this is also a little selfishness and hobby of the president of the Spirit Shadow Society.

This ancient castle has undergone various vicissitudes of life, and after the Shadow Society spent a lot of money to renovate it, it has finally been revitalized once again, and has become the residence and office of the President of the Spirit Shadow Society.

Walking around the main base of the Spirit Shadow Society, Xiang Yu was inevitably a little nervous. The situation of this kind of giant organization is complicated, and the invited Xiang Yu has a hunch that he will pay some price for the failed mission last time.

Xiang Yu walked through the manor nervously, the glare of the sun making him barely able to open his eyes.

After several twists and turns, Xiang Yu finally walked to the door of the ancient castle.

The attendant was already waiting quietly by the door, and the attendant said respectfully, "You are the honored guest of honor with the president this morning, Mr. Xiangyu, please go this way." ”。

"Oh, okay."

After all, this is the territory of the largest business group, the Shadow Society, and Xiang Yu has become much more cautious in his words and deeds.

Following the attendants of the Shadow Society's main base, Xiang Yu quietly walked into the magnificent ancient castle.

There are no lights in the ancient castle, and the light is very dim. The words outside the castle could not be seen in the sunlight at all, giving Xiang Yu a particularly eerie feeling.

There was basically nothing to see in the blurred vision, and Xiang Yu could only go deeper and deeper along the long corridor.

Finally, at the end of the passage, a dazzling light appeared.

"Mr. Xiangyu, our president is waiting for you in the front parlor, and the contemptible person will retreat first." The attendants beside Xiang Yu stepped aside to make way for Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu said weakly, "Oh, good. ”

It happened too suddenly, and Xiang Yu didn't know what kind of outcome awaited him ahead, so he could only go on without hesitation......

Walking through the long dark corridor, Xiang Yu finally saw the light that he had not seen for a long time.

It was a large and bright room, and in the center of the room stood a man in his thirties, who was the president of the Shadow Society.

"Welcome to the Shadow Society's headquarters."

A man dressed in black walked over with a smile on his face.

"You're Mr. Xiangyu, an underground mercenary, aren't you?"

Xiang Yu nodded vigorously.

"Hello. When we first met, I was the president of the Spirit Shadow Society, Mo Tong. ”

It turned out that he was the legendary president of the Spirit Shadow Society, a man who covered the sky with one hand and controlled the economic lifeline of the entire ASEAN city. Xiang Yu thought to himself.

"Mr. Motong, ...... about the muse"

Mo Tong suddenly stretched out his hand, making Xiang Yu stop speaking.

"Mr. Xiangyu, don't be too restrained. It's not a way to have guests standing and talking, so let's sit down and talk slowly. Mo Tong pointed to the sofa with his right hand and said kindly.

"Hmm." Xiang Yu, who was invited to sit down, was a little flattered.

Next, Xiang Yu saw a scene that made him extremely nervous

。 Mo Tong, the leader of the Spirit Shadow Society, walked to the counter, poured two cups of coffee with his own hands, and handed one of them to Xiang Yu, who was sitting on the sofa.

Xiang Yu took it, took a sip, and said approvingly: "Well, this is really a good cup of coffee." ”

Mo Tong pursed his lips and chuckled: "This is the coffee I grind by myself, just like Mr. Xiang Yu." ”

Xiang Yu rolled his eyes and looked away from Mo Tong. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. How could a man who is the leader of the Spirit Shadow Society be so polite to a mercenary who has failed a mission?

"Mr. Xiangyu, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Mo Tong smiled kindly again.

Looking at Mo Tong's kind facial expression, Xiang Yu gradually relaxed his vigilance.

Xiang Yu thought to himself, could it be that I am suspicious? Or is it the after-effects of witnessing the killings outside the city the other day?

After drinking a refreshing cup of coffee, Mo Tong also sat down, and he finally spoke: "Okay, Mr. Xiangyu, let's start talking." ”

"According to the letter of assistance sent to Mr. Xiang, I have basically understood the specific situation of the incident, so is there anything else to add or explain to Mr. Xiang?"

Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Mo Tong, I'm sorry that I didn't bring the muse back. Nine-tenths of the way through the mission, an unexpected accident occurred due to my negligence. The mission ultimately failed. ”

Mo Tong looked at Xiang Yu and said calmly: "The accident that Mr. Xiang Yu said should refer to the incident where the humanoid girl Muse suddenly went berserk, killed the bodyguard and fled." This incident has been discovered by the ASEAN City Police, and now Muse is still on a first-class wanted warrant. ”

Looking at the puzzled Xiang Yu, Mo Tong continued to explain: "First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Xiang Yu for your assistance as one of the entrusted parties. Just about a year ago, we, the Shadow Society, gave the Black Market a secret mission for a period of ten years. The goal of that quest was to bring back the humanoid girl Muse intact. And you're the only mercenary in recent years who has reported to me on your progress. ”

"So I want to thank you for giving the Shadow Society a good expectation."

Mo Tong continued, "The entire Spirit Shadow Society, including me, is looking forward to your good news. Two weeks ago, Mr. Xiang Yu, you spoke to the Spirit Shadow Society, saying that you had found the humanoid girl [Muse] in the capital, and promised to bring her to ASEAN City in half a month, and bring her to me in front of me in one piece. ”

Mo Tong's face changed, and he continued: "But what I received a few days ago was not the good news that Muse had brought back, but the bad news that more than a dozen senior bodyguards had died violently outside the city of ASEAN. For this, the Shadows must also pay a hefty pension to their associates. ”

Xiang Yu heard the different tones in Mo Tong's words.

In order to alleviate Mo Tong's unhappiness, Xiang Yu said modestly: "I'm sorry, President Mo Tong, this is my dereliction of duty. After that, as she had said in an email a few days earlier, Muse went on a rampage and killed all the bodyguards who stood in her way, and then disappeared. ”

"Muse should be hiding in ASEAN City for the time being, she has no identity and cannot return to the capital alone using trains and other means." Xiang Yu explained.

"But it doesn't matter, everything is in the Shadow Society's plan at the moment." Mo Tong raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his unique smile.
