1889: The Stronghold Is Destroyed

The Stronghold Is Destroyed

The call went through. Feng Shengxuan asked unhappily, "What happened?"1

"King, something's happened. Our stronghold in the north of Camino was destroyed by the Eagle Special Forces."

Feng Shengxuan frowned slightly. "Destroyed? How?"

There was a moment of silence at the other end of the line before Stephen answered honestly. "Well... the Eagle Special Forces' soldiers suddenly appeared. Without even scouting out the land first, they suddenly attacked from the sky and land. Our people were unable to fight them off. They have all either been killed or captured."

"Then let's find the mole!"

Those who had been assigned to Emperor District's KE force were all important members of KE. Every one of them was an elite. Putting aside everything else, their anti-reconnaissance abilities were definitely top-notch.

Therefore, whether or not the soldiers of the Eagle Special Forces had scouted out the place before, his people would definitely have known.

Since the Forces took down one of his strongholds without any scouting, there had to be a mole in KE.

"Yes." Stephen also felt that there was a mole among their people. He immediately agreed.

"Has Feng Tan made any movements recently?"

"Yes, he left the castle recently, but we didn't track his whereabouts. We don't know where he went."

"How long has he been gone?" Feng Shengxuan asked.

"Three days."

"He left alone? Did anyone else leave?"

"No. None of his four confidants left. They have been staying at KE headquarters every day."

Feng Shengxuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What has he been doing in the castle all this time?"

"Nothing, nothing at all. He just reads the newspaper, watches TV, goes online, and plants flowers. He's done nothing else significant besides disappearing for three days."

"During the three days he's been gone, has anything happened in Camino?"

"No." After answering, Stephen added, "At least, nothing seems to have happened so far."

"Put Winnie in charge of checking all flights from Sab to Camino during the three days he's been gone. Whether the fliers are men or women or old or young, everyone's destination and place of residence has to be identified. You must know what they came to Camino for. If they don't have a specific place to stay, they'll disappear the moment they arrive in Camino. Just obtain pictures of these people and post them anonymously 

"King, are you going to..."

"Do you believe that he would disappear for three days for no reason?"

"I don't believe it."

Feng Shengxuan sneered. "I don't believe it either. So he must have done something behind my back to cause trouble again—we just don't know what it is yet. He's gone out to cause trouble for either Chi Yang or Nuannuan. I want to know exactly what he did and who he's been in contact with. If Winnie can't figure it out, Dan Qi and Huang Zichu can also investigate. As long as they carefully look into that old man's actions, I'll be able to find out what he came to Camino for."

"Yes."

Stephen waited for a second. Hearing that Feng Shengxuan no longer had anything to say, he could not help but ask, "Then, regarding the matter of the Emperor District stronghold..."

"I'll come back to take care of it."

"Okay. I'll wait for you."

Upon hanging up, Feng Shengxuan heard the sound of a car pulling up from outside the window.

Seeing that Chi Yang and Nuannuan were each supporting one of Chi Yuansheng's arms, Feng Shengxuan's face grew dark.

At first, after living with the Chi family for so long, he had begun to somewhat like the lively atmosphere the family provided.

He had been avoiding his original reason for living with the Chi family—to observe their daily routines and take the opportunity to kill people.
