<h4>Chapter 1469: Chapter 1470: Cai Zhong Leads the Team to an Empty Target</h4>


    When Cai Zhong and his team began their operation, it was precisely midnight. He had waited a long time for this day, the day he would destroy the Orchid Mercenary Corps.


    Back when Cheng Wn established her mercenary group, he had warned her, but she didn’t listen.


    Subsequently, he assigned Cheng Wn two tasks, believing these would be enough to shatter her confidence and make her quit the business. To his surprise, Cheng Wn managed toplete both against all odds.


    ording to the intel provided by Ivan, today was an excellent opportunity to eliminate their enemies.


    On Ivan’s side, he and his twopanions were also ready.


    Especially Wang Li and Wen Shengbao, they hated Xiang Yu to the core. With Xiang Yu absent, they would first take down hisir, and when he returns, they would capture him.


    Imagining Xiang Yu’s look of agony, the two couldn’t help but chuckle internally.


    "Once we seed this time, I’ll make sure to reward you both handsomely," Ivan said with a sinister smile.


    Their bodies shuddered at hisughter.


    Previously, they hadn’t considered Ivan to be a pervert, but spending ample time with him revealed his deep-seated abnormality.


    Cai Zhong’s team drove to the vicinity of Cheng Wn’s ce, each member holding a machete.


    Ivan and his twopanions were already waiting there and quickly went to meet them when they arrived.


    "How’s it looking?" Cai Zhong asked Ivan.


    Ivan was a prominent figure in the mercenary world, and Cai Zhong respected his abilities, so he didn’t dare underestimate him.


    "They’re all asleep now. It’s the perfect time to rush in," Ivan said excitedly.


    "Are there guards?" Cai Zhong asked.


    Being cautious by nature, Cai Zhong always exercised full effort, even against weaker opponents.


    "Don’t worry, I’ve observed everything. Just charge straight in," Ivan replied straightforwardly.


    Cai Zhong nodded, then signaled the first squad to charge inside.


    Although the Rookie Mercenary Corp didn’t have a ster reputation in the mercenary world, their strength was formidable.


    Seeing the first squad charging in with their knives, Ivan couldn’t help but nod in approval.


    The Orchid Mercenary Corps was no match for the Rookie Mercenary Corp, not even in a direct attack.


    With this thought, Ivan turned to nce at Cai Zhong.


    He saw Cai Zhong gazing ahead, eyes gleaming with greed.


    "This guy is insidious and deceitful. Better be cautious while coborating," Ivan thought to himself.


    "Squad one in position." At this moment, a voice suddenly came through Cai Zhong’s earpiece.


    "Hold your position," Cai Zhong instructed, then turned to others and said, "Squad two, follow me in."


    He had just taken two steps before turning back to Ivan, asking, "Care to join us inside?"


    Without hesitation, Ivan replied decisively, "Of course, how could such an important moment exclude me."


    He finished speaking and then walked alongside Cai Zhong.


    Being of a suspicious nature, Cai Zhong was testing Ivan. Since the intel came from Ivan, his participation indicated no issue with the information.


    Cai Zhong chuckled slightly, then led his men onwards.


    Wang Li sniffed coldly, wanting to rush ahead, but Wen Shengbao stopped him.


    Confused, Wang Li turned to Wen Shengbao, not understanding his intent. This was his golden chance for revenge, and he wouldn’t miss it.


    "Better to be cautious. You don’t know Xiang Yu; he’s no simple character," Wen Shengbao advised prudently.


    Wang Li tried to free himself from Wen Shengbao’s grip but realized it was safer to be cautious.


    Thus, the two fell behind the others.


    "Are you that afraid of him?" Wang Li whispered.


    Wen Shengbao’s expression wasplicated. Though he hated Xiang Yu, he had to admit Xiang Yu was a talent.


    Having interacted with Xiang Yu for so long, he was understanding him more and more.


    "Being cautious is always wise," Wen Shengbao stated.


    Wang Li said nothing more and followed the others inside.


    He was too familiar with this ce, and being here again stirred mixed feelings. Had he not been seduced by Ivan, he might still be the leader of the Orchid Mercenary Corps.


    Pros and cons coexist. If he hadn’t left, Cai Zhong would’ve likely taken him out today.


    Squad one surrounded Cheng Wn’s vi, while others encircled the remaining houses.


    Ivan led a portion to surround Xiang Yu’s vi, ensuring preparedness even in his absence.


    Ivan nced around for Wang Li and Wen Shengbao but didn’t see them in his team.


    He snorted coldly, dismissing the thought.


    At that moment, Wang Li and Wen Shengbao were not in any squad; they hid behind a tree closest to the gate, ready to flee if necessary.


    "Isn’t this a bit dishonorable?" Wang Li asked Wen Shengbao, feeling reluctant.


    "Boss, don’t think like that. Surviving is paramount; everything else is trivial," Wen Shengbao replied with a smile.


    Wang Li nodded. Wen Shengbao made sense, no wonder the guy would do anything to save his own skin.


    "Everyone ready, go!" Cai Zhong finally gave the order to attack.


    They had waited too long for this moment.


    Wang Li felt his blood boiling, wanting to rush in and boldly announce his return to Cheng Wn.


    But rationality held him back. He stayed hidden, watching everyone charge towards the vi, knives drawn.


    Ivan also held a knife, being the first to dash inside. He kicked the door down and ran upstairs.


    He had never been to Xiang Yu’s vi before, but assumed people might be on the second floor.


    Brandishing his knife, he hurriedly dashed up and kicked open a door with force.


    Ivan was trembling with excitement, this kick was full of power, sending the door flying.


    Inside was empty, with nothing in sight.


    He kicked open another room’s door, only to find it empty as well.


    Kicking open four doors in session, all were vacant. In thest room, he found a note on the table with ’****’ written on it.


    Seeing the note gave him a bad feeling. He hurriedly raced downstairs, knife in hand.


    By then, everyone else had emerged, unable to find a single trace of anyone.


    "What’s going on?" Cai Zhong was anxious. ording to Ivan’s intel, they should’ve been asleep.


    Even Ivan was clueless. He had arranged for Wang Li and Wen Shengbao to take turns observing, so how could there be no one?


    "Wang Li, where are you?" Ivan began to shout.


    At that moment, Cai Zhong approached Ivan and grabbed him by the cor.


    "Did you trick me?" Cai Zhong yelled...
