Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

At this thought.

Huang Hua squinted his eyes, already having a preliminary plan in mind. He then looked at the black-clad man and said, "Alright, I know. You continue to keep an eye on the intel from Coastal. Report to me immediately if there are any updates!"

"Should we report this news to the Sect Master?"

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The black-clad man looked at Huang Hua and asked tentatively.

"Not for now. The battle hasn’t reached its conclusion yet. Besides, our Tie Sect still has some aces up its sleeve, so don’t worry. We’ll report to the Sect Master after the battle ends."

"All the news right now is bad, and letting the Sect Master know would definitely upset him. Moreover, he’s already in a bad mood. If he hears this bad news, he’ll surely erupt in anger, and the consequences are not something you or I can bear!"

Huang Hua shook his head and said.

Hearing this.

The black-clad man pondered for a moment, realizing that Huang Hua made sense.

After all, the defeat of the Tie Sect’s powerful army in Coastal had already angered Han Tieshan greatly.

The intel officer responsible for conveying the message was even killed by Han Tieshan on the spot.

If they report more bad news to him now,

it would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire.

If Han Tieshan got further enraged, wouldn’t he be doomed too?

Thinking of this.

The black-clad man nodded and said, "You’re right, Minister. I’ll continue to monitor the situation in Coastal!"

"Alright, go ahead. Remember to report to me immediately if there’s any update!"

Huang Hua waved his hand and said.

"Understood!"

The black-clad man cupped his fists and then turned around and left directly.

After the black-clad man left the office, he closed the office door behind him for Huang Hua.

At this point.

Huang Hua was left alone in the office once again.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and went over to the large floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking out at the night scene of the Tie Sect headquarters below.

Huang Hua squinted his eyes and murmured, "I’ve observed enough. Now, it’s time to express my intention to the Chen Family!"

Thinking of this.

Huang Hua took out a pure black phone from his pocket.

It was clear to see.

This was a brand new phone that hadn’t been used yet.

Huang Hua removed the phone’s SIM card slot, inserted a new SIM card, placed it back, and turned on the device...

Coastal.

Just coming out from a territory of the Chen Family.

At this point.

This was already the sixteenth territory Chen Feng had stabilized.

He stretched his neck a bit.

Chen Feng was preparing to head to the next location.

And just at that moment.

His phone rang.

Chen Feng thought it might be Mu Dongcheng contacting him, so he took out his phone.

But the caller ID showed a completely unfamiliar number.

Seeing this.

Chen Feng furrowed his brows and answered the call, "Hello?"

"Is this Chen Feng, the Chen Family Head?"

A specially modulated metallic voice came through the phone.

"And who are you?"

Chen Feng squinted his eyes.

Since the caller could directly state his identity, it indicated that they had some understanding of him.

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I have critical intel I want to share with the Chen Family Head!"

The metallic voice slowly said.

"Important intel? What important intel?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"It’s related to the Chen Family, more specifically, to you personally!"

The metallic voice explained.

"Oh, is that so? Then let’s hear your terms first!"

Chen Feng said indifferently.

He was well aware.

If the caller was reaching out and offering crucial intel,

it surely came with added conditions.

Otherwise, why would anyone offer up intel without reason?

"The Chen Family Head truly is straightforward. Actually, my condition is quite simple, and it’s not much for the Chen Family Head!"

The metallic voice said.

"Cut the crap, I’m in a hurry, just get to the point!"

Chen Feng said somewhat impatiently.

"Once I tell you this intel, I’ll be fully on your side, which poses significant risks to my current situation. So, I’d like to seek refuge with the Chen Family someday and be under its protection. Would that be acceptable?"

The metallic voice said.

"Oh?"

Chen Feng squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Let’s hear your so-called crucial intel first, so I can assess its worth!"

"Does this mean the Chen Family Head agrees?"

The metallic voice pressed.

"It depends on the value of your intel. If it’s as important as you claim, I can assure you safety!"

Chen Feng said calmly.

"Good, I trust the Chen Family Head won’t deceive me!"

The metallic voice said and paused slightly before continuing, "As far as I know, the Chen Family is currently in conflict with the Tie Sect, right? The Tie Sect has launched surprise attacks on various Chen Family territories, but all have been well defended by the Chen Family. Am I correct?"

"Yes, continue,"

Chen Feng nodded.

"Although the Chen Family has successfully defended against the Tie Sect’s assault, I wonder if the Chen Family Head is also curious why the Tie Sect only sent ordinary people tonight and not even a single Ancient Martial Artist?"

The metallic voice said.

Hearing this.

Chen Feng squinted his eyes.

He indeed was curious about this point.

The Tie Sect, after all, is a top-tier entity among second-rate forces.

Though it suffered heavy losses last time in Coastal,

it only slightly injured its Primordial Energy at most.

It’s not to the extent that they can’t dispatch even an Ancient Martial Artist.

Yet in this action,

the Tie Sect hasn’t sent a single Ancient Martial Artist.

This is quite peculiar.

Does the Tie Sect believe that these ordinary people can crush the Chen Family?

That clearly seems unlikely.

The Tie Sect wouldn’t be so naive.

Thus,

the purpose of the Tie Sect becomes thought-provoking.

"Do you know why this is?"

Chen Feng furrowed his brows and asked, puzzled.

"It’s simple. The Tie Sect has another purpose. Currently, those attacking various Chen Family territories are no more than cannon fodder sent by the Tie Sect. The main objective is to draw the Chen Family’s attention and divert their efforts. Of course, if they manage to seize any of the Chen Family’s territories, all the better. If not, it doesn’t matter because the Tie Sect’s real target isn’t here tonight!"

The metallic voice explained.

"You mean, the Tie Sect’s sudden attack tonight isn’t really about capturing the Chen Family territories, but they have another goal?"

Chen Feng was taken aback, his expression turning cold as he spoke.

"That’s roughly it. Capturing the Chen Family territories is just one of the objectives. Success or failure doesn’t affect the Tie Sect’s plan. Success would be beneficial, but even if it fails, as long as they can draw the Chen Family’s attention and scatter their experts, that’s enough, because the real goal of the Tie Sect lies elsewhere!"

The metallic voice said.
