Inside the base, both Meng Yinglong and the butler looked extremely grim.
They racked their brains but couldn't fathom how such a thing could happen. The assassination plot they painstakingly devised was over just like that. Not only did they fail to kill the target, but they also lost the foundation that allowed the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps to survive. The loss was too great.
Meng Yinglong was filled with regret. If he had known, he wouldn't have tortured Ye Fan and Mengyao in such a manner, but would have chosen another way to vent his anger. But it's all too late; there's no remedy for regret in the world.
His only hope now was for Scorpion to return safely. If that happened, the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps would still have a major pillar. Even if the business shrinks, it wouldn't go so far as to be destroyed.
"Master, we just received the news—Scorpion is dead," the butler reported with a heavy heart.
