olutely," Deputy Director Zhao Xuanyi replied firmly. "All the bodies have been brought back; not a single survivor."

"Chief, it’s clear now that these aren’t ordinary mercenaries and assassins; this is beyond what the police can handle."

"Could they be international martial artists?"

"Exactly."

Chu Yunlong had heard of the God List and other powerful forces but had never imagined they would provoke China so overtly. The two men discussed and reported the incident to the Public Security Department, leading to swift escalation all the way up to the national leadership, attracting high-level governmental attention. The consequences were dire.

The martial arts community and global political circles usually remained separate, but this blatant intrusion into China stirred international tension and condemnation, sharpening existing conflicts.

"Too beautiful!"

...

Mo Hancheng was speechless at their reactions, while Nangong Yingwu felt a rare panic, her face blushing—a stark contrast to the cold, ruthless assassin she usually was.

"Hmph~"

Xue Ying was also surprised by the beautiful woman, though she felt a strong undercurrent of animosity, a manifestation of the old adage: “Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain.”

Everyone sensed the thick tension as Nangong Yingwu and Xue Ying locked eyes, nearly as if they were lifelong enemies.

"You must be Xue Ying? You’re very pretty," Nangong Yingwu said with a smile. "Brother Mo just mentioned you."

"You must be the Nangong sister that Brother Mo always misses day and night," Xue Yin
