Chapter 367: The Fifth Exposure! Mercenaries’s Mortal Weapon!

Silence. It was a code name. Just like Shadow League’s Arctic Fox, they were uncrowned kings whose names caused people to tremble with fear.

Arctic Fox was a hacker whereas Silence was an a.s.sa.s.sin.

He topped the a.s.sa.s.sin rankings and was known as a ‘Mortal Weapon’ who liked to kill in one blow. He once helped an international organization train a batch of mercenaries.

This group was especially skilled in infiltration. Their modus operandi had the bloodcurdling name, ‘Shadow Kill’.

They were hard to identify and their victims did not know what was happening until it was too late.

Similar to Arctic Fox, Silence’s gender and age was still a mystery. Mysterious and ruthless, Silence was the uncrowned king of the a.s.sa.s.sination world. However, just as Silence finished training the mercenaries, Lu Chengzhou got hold of the news. He tricked and captured Silence.

Lu Chengzhou did not let his subordinates take off Silence’s mask. Only his signature broken eyebrows and ash-white brush cut could be seen. He was a pretty skinny man.

After Silence rejected working for Red Scorpion, various advanced interrogation techniques were tried on him. They almost killed the man. Yet, Silence did not make a single noise.

In the end Silence relented and agreed to be the instructor for Red Scorpion for five years. The annual training would last for 24 days and was conducted with live rounds.

Based on Red Scorpion’s training schedule, it started half a month ago. However, the informant who was in charge of correspondence with Silence said that some issues cropped up. After three years of collaboration, Red Scorpion clearly had to give him some face so the training was delayed.

Nonetheless…

Lu Jiu looked up at Lu Chengzhou. “Young Master Lu, for the past three years, death rates on missions have plummeted to almost zero for the teams trained by Silence. After this upcoming training session our time with him will be up.”

Silence’s style of training was very odd and there was almost no way to copy it. There was no order and pattern that could be followed. Men who finished training with him said that Silence’s training schedule was almost always empty. His training simply consisted of anything that he thought of but the results were spectacular.

The most unbelievable thing was that even though the men were training in batches, Silence’s training style was able to teach them one-on-one. At the end of it, almost everyone was good at something. They would all be top-notch mercenaries.

But Silence would leave Red Scorpion next year. They did not want to let him go. Lu Chengzhou rubbed the sides of the teacup as he sank into deep thoughts.

After an entire minute, his languid voice rang out. “When matters at No.14 Research Center have ended, contact Silence. I would like to meet him.”

Lu Jiu responded respectfully, “Yes.”

Lu Chengzhou turned his head to look at Gu Mang.

She put on her earphones as she tapped the screen calmly. She s.h.i.+fted her posture so that she was more comfortable.

After discussing the matters, all the subordinates returned to their own positions. Lu Jiu and Lu s.h.i.+ went to arrange the goods that were to be s.h.i.+pped from Country K.

Lu Chengzhou turned to look at Lu Yī as he raised his chin. “Go bring the snacks from upstairs.”

“Understood.” Lu Yī immediately ran to get them.

Lu Chengzhou stood up and sat down by Gu Mang’s side. She was sitting on a sofa for one person so they were very close to each other.

He hugged her and placed his chin on her shoulder. He did not disturb her and simply watched her play. Her skills were fantastic. She had no deaths and her equipment was the best. She was very experienced with switching screens.

Not long after, Lu Yī brought the bag of snacks down and placed it on the coffee table.
