Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Stepping out of the treehouse, Jiang Nian saw a rather luxurious cruise ship moored nearby.

An Yang was probably waiting for Jiang Nian, so he didn't rush to board the ship and stood facing the treehouse. When he saw Jiang Nian come out, he waved to him, signaling him to hurry over.

"Aren't you going to discuss business? Is this luxurious cruise ship alright?"

Walking up to An Yang, Jiang Nian asked in confusion.

Such a luxurious cruise ship is too conspicuous at sea. It would be troublesome if it were targeted.

"Hehe, it's just for convenience. This voyage is quite long, but the conditions on the cruise ship are good, so it won't be too tiring."

An Yang chuckled and explained Jiang Nian's sentiments.

The voyage took a long time?
What the hell are they trying to do a deal with?

However, An Yang did not notice Jiang Nian's doubts, and no one answered his question.

After boarding the cruise ship, Jiang Nian learned that not only An Yang had come, but also An Ying, another leader of the Shadow faction.

When Dark Eagle saw Jiang Nian, he snorted coldly and then turned and left.

The cruise ship has five decks. Dark Eagle occupies the fifth deck, Dark Ocean occupies the fourth deck, and Jiang Nian is assigned to the third deck.

An Yang and An Ying had quite a few subordinates, but most of them operated on the lower two floors. Apart from a few individuals who could access the fourth and fifth floors, even the third floor was only occupied by Jiang Nian and one other person.

Jiang Nian noticed that only Dark Eagle, Dark Ocean, and himself were wearing masks; none of his other subordinates were wearing masks.

It has to be said that An Yang was absolutely right when he told Jiang Nian.

The conditions on this cruise ship are exceptionally good.

Jiang Nian was unaware of the situation on the top two floors.

His room was on the third floor, and the room of the person he shared with was right next to the stairs. It wasn't very big, about forty square meters, and like a hotel room, it had a private bathroom.

Jiang Nian's own room was much larger.

The apartment has a one-bedroom, one-living room layout. The living room alone is over 100 square meters, with a thick carpet on the floor that feels very comfortable to walk on barefoot.

Jiang Nian didn't bring any luggage; the clothes that An Yi had prepared for her when she was at the base were all provided by An Yi.

The wardrobe in this room is filled with clothes of all styles, but they are all the same color—black.

Even the mask Jiang Nian was wearing had two spares kept in the wardrobe.

There's also a wine cabinet in the living room, with quite a few bottles of red wine on it.

He randomly picked out a bottle. Jiang Nian didn't recognize the brand, but it seemed like he had seen it somewhere before. This bottle of red wine was worth millions.

I have to say, those people in the Shadows really know how to enjoy themselves.

No, it's that the big shots in Shadow really know how to enjoy themselves.

Jiang Nian guessed that the only people on the entire cruise ship who received this kind of treatment were him, An Yang, and An Ying.

An Ying's identity was introduced to Jiang Nian by An Yang, but Jiang Nian could clearly sense that An Ying's attitude towards him was very unfriendly, and even the look in his eyes was full of undisguised disgust.

Jiang Nian didn't remember offending Dark Eagle, and coming to Shadow was not his own choice; he was forced into it.

So why would Dark Hawk hate him?
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Nian's gaze toward Dark Eagle was filled with dissatisfaction.

Anyway, they won't dare to lay a hand on me. If you're so capable, then go for it!

Being glared at like that by Jiang Nian only fueled Dark Eagle's anger.

"This deal is so important, what's the point of bringing him along?"

Dark Hawk directly unleashed its fire upon the Dark Ocean.

An Yang, who was elegantly cutting his steak, only raised his head and glanced at An Ying when he heard An Ying's words: "If it's useless for me to bring him, then is it useful to bring you? I'm in charge of this transaction, and you're just assisting. I don't need you to teach me how to do other things."

An Yang retorted without hesitation.

He won't tolerate Dark Hawk.

Without Dark Night mediating, the atmosphere between Dark Eagle and Dark Ocean became extremely awkward.

Jiang Nian glanced at the two of them strangely—as fellow rulers of the Shadow Realm, why were they at odds?
After a dark glint flashed in his eyes, Jiang Nian didn't speak, but simply kept his head down and ate his steak quietly.

It must be said that the chef on the cruise ship was quite skilled, greatly satisfying Jiang Nian's appetite.

Time passed amidst the open and covert struggles between Dark Ocean and Dark Eagle.

When the cruise ship came to a stop, Jiang Nian realized that they had arrived in Bharata.

Bharata's regular government forces are currently fighting against anti-government forces.

Jiang Nian understood; An Yang and his group must have been doing this arms deal with the Bharata government.

After all, according to what Jiang Nian has learned from his recent observations of the war here, the docks are still under the control of the government forces.

No wonder Dark Ocean and Dark Eagle had to move out together—Bharata has been quite turbulent lately. Even if the Shadow forces are powerful, they can't solve the immediate problem. In critical moments, they still have to rely on their own brothers to save their lives.

The docks were bustling with busy people. Their faces were full of fatigue, but their eyes were unusually bright. Perhaps for them, just being alive was enough.

As soon as Jiang Nian stepped off the cruise ship, several military vehicles slowly pulled up at the dock.

Soon, a slightly overweight middle-aged man dressed in Bharata military uniform stepped out of the middle vehicle.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. An?"

The middle-aged man walked to the side of the cruise ship and stood still. He introduced himself respectfully, "Hello, I am Galava. I will be in charge of receiving you all this time."

Galawa was sweating profusely—he knew that the group in front of him were arms dealers, and the weapons they had could bring a key turning point to this battle. He had been instructed by his superiors not to offend Mr. Dark and his group, no matter who else they offended.

Dark Eagle disembarked from the cruise ship first, walked up to Galawa, and sneered, "Take us to our accommodation."

His tone was so cold that Galawa almost couldn't help but shiver.

He could sense the malevolence emanating from the man, as if the man would kill him at any moment.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take you all to rest first."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Galawa quickly said.

He stepped forward, opened the car door, and respectfully invited Dark Eagle to get in first.

Dark Eagle sneered at Galawa, then kicked him in the knee. When Galawa was caught off guard and half-knelt down, Dark Eagle stepped on his back to get into the car.

Dark Hawk's attitude was so offensive that Galawa's men almost immediately drew their weapons and pointed them at Dark Hawk as he got into the car.

"What, Galawa, you want to kill me?"

Dark Eagle looked at Galawa with a half-smile, his eyes revealing undisguised ruthlessness.

Galawa was trembling all over.

He could sense that if his answer didn't satisfy the other party, they would definitely turn their back on him.

It doesn't matter if I die, but the leader is waiting for the enemy's weapons to win this battle!

"Yes, it's my fault, Mr. An, please don't be angry."

Garawa's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He remained kneeling on the ground, apologizing humbly. Dark Hawk drew his gun, aimed it at Garawa, and pulled the trigger.

With a "thud," Galawa was shot in the knee. He winced in pain but dared not utter a sound.

"Let's go."

Seeing the other person enduring the pain, Dark Eagle curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and said calmly.

An Yang and Jiang Nian got into another car.

Galawa naturally didn't dare to ride in the same car as Dark Eagle, so he sat in the passenger seat of Jiang Nian's car.

Jiang Nian couldn't stand Dark Eagle's rude attitude, so he squinted at the slow-moving car in front of him.

Sitting by the window, Jiang Nian opened the car window, resting his right hand on the window glass, looking relaxed.

When no one was looking, the dark barrel of a gun peeked out from Jiang Nian's right sleeve—the gun, fitted with a silencer, made no sound at all, and Jiang Nian pulled the trigger.

The car Dark Eagle was in suddenly skidded. The driver was clearly incompetent and couldn't control the direction, letting the car crash into the guardrail with a loud noise.

Galawa's face was extremely pale; his already ashen complexion, already pale from being shot, turned even whiter.

He stumbled out of the car, dragging his unbandaged leg to the side of the car, which was already half totaled.

Dark Hawk kicked open the wrecked car door and stepped out.

His mask may have cracked from the impact, and his clothes were wrinkled and crumpled. He had lost his previous fierceness and instead looked somewhat disheveled.

"Galaw, what's going on?"

His voice was icy cold. Dark Eagle had never imagined he would encounter such a thing, and his anger had reached its peak.

"This, this, Mr. An, it must have been the work of the anti-government forces. Let's leave here quickly. I guarantee you'll be absolutely safe once we get to your place, and this will never happen again!"

Galawa was also bewildered. He hadn't expected that his trip to pick up Mr. Dark, an arms dealer, would lead to such a huge accident.

It doesn't matter if they get hurt themselves, but if they hurt Mr. An and he thinks that the government forces are not protecting him properly, and then he turns to make deals with the anti-government forces, then they are really finished!

Thinking of this, Galawa trembled all over—he couldn't bear this responsibility!
"Let's go to your accommodation first. It's not suitable for you to stay here any longer."

Just as Dark Eagle was about to seize the opportunity to make trouble, Dark Ocean spoke up, touching his mask as if he were hinting at something.

Seeing An Yang's actions, Dark Eagle touched his mask, and his face, which was covered by the mask, turned completely dark.

He didn't say anything more, kicked Galava hard again, and then got into An Yang and the others' car.

An Yang followed An Ying into the car, glancing at Jiang Nian before getting in.

That one glance made Jiang Nian realize that what she had just done might have fooled others, but it hadn't fooled An Yang.

Compared to Dark Eagle, who is in power, Dark Ocean has a more profound mind.

The fact that Shadow has existed for so many years is probably largely due to the Dark Ocean.

Shrugging indifferently, Jiang Nian got into the car as well.

This time, there were no further unexpected incidents.

The Bharata government arranged for Jiang Nian and his group to stay in a villa. The villa was very large, and the security around it was quite good, with many government soldiers guarding the vicinity to protect their safety.

"Mr. An, I'm really sorry, other arms dealers are coming, so I'll have to trouble you to wait a couple of days. The negotiations for this deal will officially begin tomorrow night."

Galawa breathed a sigh of relief after dropping Dark Eagle and the others off at their lodgings. He looked at Dark Eagle cautiously and explained earnestly, his tone tinged with fear.

Dark Eagle didn't speak, but his gaze was fixed on Dark Ocean.

"Galava, that's settled then. You can come pick us up when the negotiations start tomorrow."

This time, it was An Yang who spoke up.

This deal still needs to be done; we can't let Dark Hawk's dissatisfaction cause the transaction to fall through.

Galawa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that An Yang was so easy to talk to.

He was terrified that Dark Eagle would attack him again.

Even if other arms dealers come, the quantity of weapons they can provide is not large. The bulk of the profits still have to come from Dark Eagle and his men. They really dare not offend them!

"Heh, you're quite the good guy."

Dark Eagle glanced sideways at Dark Ocean, then turned and left.

Watching Dark Eagle's departing figure, a dark glint flashed in Dark Ocean's eyes.

“I don’t care if you dislike Dark Eagle or not, Jiang Nian, first of all, you need to remember one thing: you are now a member of Shadow. If anything happens to Dark Eagle here, you won’t be able to leave alive either.”

When only he and Jiang Nian were left in the courtyard, An Yang looked at Jiang Nian and said coldly.

"You saw it after all."

Jiang Nian smiled.

"Dark Hawk is so arrogant, it's normal for him to be targeted. Besides, if he really dies here, I might be able to replace him and become one of the leaders of Shadow. What do you think you would do if I actually did that?"

With his eyes fixed on An Yang, Jiang Nian's smile grew even more smug.

He had no feelings for the people in the shadows; he didn't mind if one of them died, but he would be very happy if they all died.

After saying that, Jiang Nian turned and left without waiting for An Yang's reaction.

Just kidding. Even if An Yang and An Ying don't get along, they've worked together for so many years. How could An Yang just stand by and do nothing because of me?

However, Jiang Nian didn't expect that after An Yang discovered he had attacked An Ying, he would actually help cover it up. Although Jiang Nian wasn't afraid of An Ying causing trouble anyway.

Jiang Nian slept soundly that night.

After Jiang Nian left, An Yang stood there, staring at the sky for a long time in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.

Galawa arrived early the next morning.

It seems he was specifically in charge of receiving An Yang and his group, which is why he was waiting here so early.

Perhaps because he had suffered a loss at Dark Eagle's hands yesterday, Galawa kept circling around Dark Ocean this time. If Dark Eagle hadn't spoken up, he definitely wouldn't have gone near him.

"Galava, how much weaponry does your Bharata government army need? The key question is, do you have that much money to buy it?"

Seeing Galawa following An Yang, An Ying was displeased. He fiddled with the jade thumb ring in his hand and asked Galawa with a half-smile.

"Mr. An, as long as we can take down the anti-government armed forces, and as long as you can provide suitable weapons, we will buy them!"

When Dark Hawk first mentioned arms, Galawa replied almost without thinking.

What their government lacks is not money, but weapons.

Although this Mr. An seems to have a lot of weapons, no one will reveal all their cards until they see the real thing.

Even so, Galawa revealed a useful piece of information—they would buy the weapons if they were powerful enough.

Dark Eagle laughed.

"What kind of weaponry we can provide depends on how much you're willing to pay. If you have the money, I can even get you the latest tanks from the US." (End of Chapter)
