I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

The assault team that stormed in from the main gate had already bypassed the building in front of the Xiangsha Society's headquarters. A dozen or so core members of the Xiangsha Society, led by a leader, rushed over. The leader was a tall man with a fierce face. The demon tattoo on his chest and the submachine gun he was holding proved that he held an extraordinary position in the Xiangsha Society.

Before the leader of the Xiangsha Society could pull the trigger of his submachine gun, a 7.62mm bullet that came from nowhere blew his head off. The dozen or so Xiangsha Society members who suddenly lost their leader panicked and were then riddled with bullets!

……

Several hundred meters away from the headquarters of the Xiangsha Association, on the top floor of a twelve-story apartment building, three guards dressed as plumbers formed a sniper team. The team consisted of an observer, a sniper armed with an AWP sniper rifle, and an assistant responsible for guarding and carrying supplies.

Normally, a sniper team consists of two people, but three-person sniper teams are also quite common. It's not that Li Mo thinks too highly of the Xiangsha Society; it's purely a precautionary measure. The three guards formed the sniper team. The observer and assistant mainly carry various gun parts and ammunition supplies. Moreover, the top floor of the apartment building was cleared out yesterday, and most of the residents were attracted by the summer fireworks festival. Even if a few residents stayed at home, they wouldn't cause any trouble for the sniper team that had come in disguise.

As for the headquarters of the Xiangsha Society, from the current president to the lowest-ranking members, none of them would presume to think they could attract an army to encircle and annihilate them. They instinctively equate the enemy with other Japanese yakuza groups or foreign gangs that come to occupy territory. Naturally, they don't have any high ground or snipers to guard against, which are obviously not targets that are needed in normal circumstances.

Therefore, the Xiangsha Society did not pay any attention to the high-rise buildings around its headquarters. By the time the assault team started to break down the doors, the people inside the Xiangsha Society headquarters had no time to care about what was happening outside. Naturally, they became the hunting ground for snipers, who easily killed the few leaders who tried to lead a counterattack!

"Sniper position #3 has eliminated a valuable target. Be aware that enemies are gathering inside the buildings. Carefully enter those buildings and eliminate the enemies!"

Seeing that the overly agile leader of the Xiangsha Society had become a corpse, the sniper paid no attention to it. Instead, he pulled back the bolt, ejected the brass cartridge, loaded a new bullet, and reported to the sergeant of the assault team through his communicator.

"Attention everyone, if you enter those buildings and rooms, you must first implement a pre-emptive fire support tactic!"

Upon hearing the intelligence report from sniper position number 3, the sergeant, who had just swept aside several unfortunate men with his AKS-74U short assault rifle, raised an eyebrow and loudly issued orders to the twenty-odd assault soldiers following him. He then used the communicator to instruct the other assault teams at the side doors: "Also, Teams B, C, and D, be prepared to enter the building and, incidentally, block anyone who might try to escape outside, especially make sure the target doesn't get away..."

As a seasoned former paratrooper officer, the sergeant could command a hundred or so men, if not thousands. He had reviewed the attack plan beforehand and made sure there were no omissions.

Not only was the sergeant extremely cautious, but even Captain Balalaika, who was staying at the manor, had heard Li Mo explain the attack plan on the Xiangsha Society headquarters along with the sergeant, Dutch, and Levi. The plan was to use the summer fireworks party as cover to minimize the impact on the outside world, with snipers providing support from high ground and assault teams attacking from all sides. There was nothing to add, and even the number of combat personnel was not in question.

—Or rather, in the eyes of Captain Balalaika and his men, a few dozen fully armed elite soldiers taking on two or three hundred Japanese yakuza gangs was simply not going to be a problem. Even if the Xiangsha gang headquarters certainly had some firearms as their trump card, they could never compare to elite soldiers armed with automatic rifles. The measures such as having snipers provide long-range support from high ground were merely to minimize their own casualties and prevent anyone from the Xiangsha gang headquarters from escaping.

After all, even the guards who have fused with the [Seed of Fusion] are still bound by flesh and blood. They can still be injured, bleed, or even die from a bullet or a knife. Even though the soldiers in this assault team are all wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, if they were to be deployed in a careless manner with only a dozen or so people, it would not be impossible for the Xiangsha Society headquarters to use human wave tactics to kill or wound several elite soldiers.

As a sergeant in charge of the front lines, one would naturally not allow one's soldiers to suffer unnecessary casualties. When engaging in combat inside buildings, one would ensure that one's soldiers are prepared to prevent the enemy from using the terrain to their advantage.

"Stun grenade!"

Before rushing into the building inside the Xiangsha Society headquarters, a former paratrooper did not immediately step through the gate. Instead, he shouted to his comrade, who responded immediately, pulled out a stun grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it inside.

Bang~!

With the intense flash of the stun grenade exploding, screams of pain erupted from the hall, which was clearly intended for a gathering. The core members of the Xiangsha Society, who were holding pistols, samurai swords, and crossbows, had experienced the power of the stun grenade. They swayed from side to side as if they were drunk, and tears streamed down their faces.

As a special type of grenade frequently used by SWAT teams and special forces, stun grenades are not something that ordinary core members of the Yakuza can withstand. The intense flash and extremely loud sound will directly damage the five senses of the opponent. Li Mo is able to resist the negative effects of such stun grenades. Perhaps those martial artists who have honed themselves to the limit can also avoid the effects, but this definitely does not include the core members of the Xiangsha Society. Even the members of the attacking assault team would not be able to resist its negative effects.

In fact, it wasn't just a thick concrete wall that would affect the assault team soldiers who broke in. Now, as soon as the stun grenade's power was released, several former paratroopers rushed in and started firing their automatic rifles in a frenzy.

The crisp gunshots rang out incessantly until several former paratroopers emptied their magazines. As another squad of guards rushed in to provide cover, the former paratroopers, while reloading their magazines, witnessed a horrific scene in the hall. More than twenty members of the Xiangsha Society, armed with pistols, samurai swords, and crossbows, lay riddled with bullets in various corners of the hall.

The core members of the Xiangsha Society weren't stupid. Hearing the dense gunfire outside, which couldn't be masked by the fireworks, they tried their best to prepare for defense. However, the Xiangsha Society headquarters wasn't a military base, and there had never been an enemy attack on their door before. The Xiangsha Society headquarters building was made of reinforced concrete and imitated Japanese architectural style. Overall, it had a very Japanese old building style. As for the defensive measures inside, they were all temporary structures, using sofas, wooden tables, and other things as makeshift structures.

Undoubtedly, such rudimentary temporary defensive measures might have some hope of stopping ordinary crossbow bolts or old-fashioned hunting rifles and pistols, but to think they could stop the intermediate-powered bullets of small-caliber modern automatic rifles was simply wishful thinking. They were completely incapable of withstanding the strafing of short assault rifles in the hands of former paratroopers.

Before the ceremony, the paratroopers indiscriminately fired, leaving the sofas and wooden tables unrecognizable. The dense bullet holes even shattered several makeshift defensive structures. Moreover, the unfortunate members of the Xiangsha Society died horribly. The 5.45mm caliber bullets at this distance were incredibly lethal. When they hit a human body, the person would flip over and fly out, leaving a small wound on the side that was hit, but a fist-sized bloody hole on the other side. A normal person would basically be dead after being shot once.

The scenes in those police and gangster shootout movies where the protagonist or gangster can still fight after being shot several times are completely impossible to see in reality. Let alone high-powered firearms like submachine guns or automatic rifles, a normal person who gets hit by a small-caliber bullet, unless it's a police firearm with excessively reduced power, will be lucky to lie on the ground clutching their wound and screaming. Getting up to fight would probably require a T800 Terminator.

Right now, about twenty core members of the Xiangsha Society are dead. Occasionally, there are a few seriously injured people who are still breathing, but they are barely clinging to life. The consequences of severe trauma and blood loss mean that their survival time is being counted down in seconds!

"Sir, the first floor has been cleared. Should we continue clearing upwards?"

The second wave of guards rushed in, checked the bodies one by one, and fired a final shot at the seriously wounded. Only after confirming that there were no enemies in the first-floor hall did they salute the sergeant in charge and ask him whether they should attack the second floor.

"Leave two teams to clear the upstairs area, the rest of you follow me and charge into the residential area. The most important target is in the residential area behind!"

Seeing that the lobby of this large building had been cleared, the sergeant already knew that this was the usual meeting place for the leaders of the Xiangsha Society. Knowing that there were no important targets here, he immediately ordered his men to continue advancing towards the back.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing the sergeant's order, the guards and former paratroopers responded loudly. Except for the six soldiers who remained to prepare to attack the second and third floors, the other soldiers continued to follow the sergeant and launch an offensive against the Xiangsha Society headquarters.

As the frontline commander of this operation, the sergeant knew that his goal was to wipe out all the members of the Xiangsha Society headquarters. The focus was naturally on the current president and several big bosses of the Xiangsha Society, who were important targets that had to be killed. Compared to them, the insignificant small fry could be dealt with by someone else. Having been appointed by Li Mo to be the frontline leader in charge of this operation, the sergeant did not want to be looked down upon by the other party in the cooperation. He was determined to achieve the mission objective perfectly.

In other directions, the various assault teams have already broken through the Xiangsha Society's fragile defenses. If the Xiangsha Society's headquarters weren't so large, they would probably be able to join forces with Sergeant and others to attack the main residence of the Xiangsha Society headquarters by now!

……

Faced with a multi-pronged attack from over fifty elite soldiers, along with snipers observing and providing support from higher floors, the people at the Xiangsha Society headquarters were utterly defeated, with almost all of them killed within a mere five minutes.

You're saying that the people at the Xiangsha Association headquarters put up a desperate resistance?

It should be said that the elite core members gathered at the Xiangsha Society headquarters have a certain combat capability, but the gap between them and the regular army is huge. Moreover, the attackers are Li Mo's personal guards and former paratroopers of the Red Bear, who would probably be considered elite troops in the world. The comparison between the two sides is like the difference between a world boxing champion and an elementary school student.

In particular, the Xiangsha Society headquarters didn't have much weaponry. The total number was over a hundred pistols, more than thirty double-barreled shotguns and submachine guns, and the rest were crossbows, samurai swords, and the like. It was passable in a fight against other Japanese yakuza groups. After all, the intensity of the fighting among Japanese yakuza groups was not as high as America's, where everyone had a gun. Most Japanese yakuza group fights used cold weapons or clubs. At most, they had a pistol, which was equipment only for small leaders or elite thugs.

However, the people at the Xiangsha Society headquarters wanted to use such trash equipment to fight against enemies carrying military automatic rifles. It could only be said that they were struggling in their death throes. Moreover, the assault team used stun grenades to clear the way and automatic rifles to mow down the enemy. Those Xiangsha Society members who wanted to hide in the rooms of the building were quickly eliminated by the assault team. Those who occasionally wanted to surrender were shot on the spot by these ruthless soldiers.

When the fireworks display at the summer fireworks festival outside ended, there were only a few people left alive inside the Xiangsha Society headquarters. The sergeant, holding a gun in one hand, killed the last few enemies who resisted to the end, and then saw the target hiding in the underground secret room!

"The current president of the Xiangsha Association? That's right, it's him!"

Upon seeing the current chairman of the Xiangsha Society, who had been hiding in the underground secret room of the Xiangsha Society headquarters but had still been found, the sergeant looked at the man's pale face and compared it with the photos of the man and several important leaders of the Xiangsha Society that he had seen before the mission. He nodded to confirm the man's identity and waved his hand to signal the few subordinates who had just rushed into the underground secret room to prepare to deal with this most important target.

"No, no, spare me! I can give you all the money!"

Faced with the dark muzzle of a gun, the current president of the Xiangsha Society felt his legs go weak. He never expected to be slaughtered by fully armed special forces. However, before he could continue to beg for his life, a bullet had already pierced through his skull.

Li Mo issued a kill order for the current president of the Xiangsha Society. There was no need to keep such trash, like a laundry detergent vendor, who had harmed countless people, and waste food. The guards who followed Li Mo's orders ignored the current president's pleas for mercy and shot him dead. The others were purged at the Xiangsha Society headquarters. None of the core members left at the headquarters were spared. The Xiangsha Society headquarters was completely wiped out.

Thus, the Xiangsha Society, one of the Japanese yakuza organizations, vanished without a trace with the deaths of all its core members. Even though there were still many peripheral members, neither Li Mo nor Captain Balalaika, who took action, would allow the Xiangsha Society to continue to exist!

Chapter 33 The Wine of Victory!

While ordinary people were still enthusiastically discussing the fireworks display that had just ended at the summer fireworks festival not far from the Xiangsha Association headquarters, the sergeant and his entourage, who had completed their mission, quietly withdrew from the Xiangsha Association headquarters. As soon as the black van convoy that had carried them away left, a series of medium-sized trucks bearing the logo of XX Moving Company drove up.

However, the drivers and workers of these medium-sized trucks were not from a real moving company. They were actually key members of the Washi-gaze group who were secretive and past the age of fighting, and were special cleaners who carried out certain cleaning work on their own.

For example, in the previous operations against the Xiangsha Society, it was these special cleaners from the Jiufeng Group who cleaned up the mess. They had no feelings for the Xiangsha Society. A year ago, the Xiangsha Society occasionally had minor private frictions with the Jiufeng Group. It would be more accurate to say that the two sides were semi-hostile. Moreover, now the Jiufeng Group was making a living under the patron's thumb. Naturally, whatever Li Mo ordered, these well-paid special cleaners would obediently do as they were told. And they wisely kept their mouths shut and would not reveal any information.

Seeing that the Xiangsha Association headquarters had all four gates wide open, the special cleaners, who had been notified in advance, worked together seamlessly. They greeted each other and unloaded materials and tools from the transport trucks. They then cleaned up the main and side gates of the Xiangsha Association headquarters and carried a large number of body bags and garbage bags into the headquarters to clean up the remains and other garbage. The medium-sized transport trucks left temporarily. When the residents who had attended the summer fireworks festival returned, they did not see anything that made them feel anything unusual.

It was almost midnight, the darkest hour, when the transport trucks arrived again. The special cleaners quickly unloaded the already full body bags and garbage bags, loading the items that needed cleaning onto the trucks. Then, dedicated personnel handled the aftermath, ensuring that the leaders and key members of the Xiangsha Society completely vanished from the face of the earth.

What do you mean by the subsequent impact?

Ordinary people naturally wouldn't have any problems. Even if some ordinary residents living nearby occasionally noticed something unusual about the Xiangsha Society headquarters, most of them didn't take it seriously, and no one would do anything like call the police.

To put it simply, the Japanese yakuza are not charitable organizations. In the past, the Kasaka-kai headquarters was relatively friendly to the surrounding residents, but ordinary Japanese people kept their distance from yakuza organizations. Unless they were the kind of people who thought yakuza were cool back in high school, normal Japanese people with jobs and families would not want to have anything to do with yakuza organizations at all, and naturally would not meddle in other people's business.

Compared to the indifferent attitude of ordinary Japanese people who are completely unaware or pretend not to know anything when they occasionally sense something is wrong, the Japanese government and the Japanese Yakuza are probably more concerned about the disappearance of the Xiangsha Association.

Of course, Japan has already recognized the legality of yakuza groups, but the Japanese government's attitude towards yakuza groups is like a black glove and a chamber pot. The life and death of most yakuza groups are of no concern to them. It's okay for those yakuza groups that have latched onto powerful figures, but for yakuza groups like the Xiangsha Association, which haven't reached that level yet, nobody cares much about cleaning up their messes.

In particular, Li Mo's actions directly led to the Washi Peak Group annexing and dividing up the Xiangsha Society's territory. Apart from retaining one-third of the territory, the rest of the Xiangsha Society's territory was divided up by the Peace Society's subordinate organizations, except for a portion given to the Moscow Hotel. Neither the Japanese government nor the yakuza organizations had anything to say about this. The relevant personnel of the Japanese government who received the benefits helped to cover it up. Although the Japanese yakuza organizations were certainly alarmed by the Washi Peak Group's ruthless actions, it actually increased the Washi Peak Group's influence.

After all, the Japanese yakuza organizations still follow the law of the jungle, and fighting for territory is commonplace. The Xiangsha Society was already considered a medium-sized force in the Japanese yakuza world, yet it was wiped out in just a few days. Even if the Washi-gamine Group found outside help, it was enough to shock other Japanese yakuza forces. Fortunately, the Washi-gamine Group clearly had powerful backers and had divided up most of the profits, so the other Japanese yakuza forces acquiesced.

The downfall of the Xiangsha Society was so quiet that, apart from the families of the unfortunate victims who might remember them, no one else cared about it at all. It was even less influential than the scandal of a second-rate celebrity, which made those in the know sigh with regret!

………………

Compared to the complete annihilation of the Xiangsha Society, whose territory was divided among several Japanese yakuza forces, Li Mo and Captain Balalaika, as the victors, obtained the largest piece of the pie after the Xiangsha Society's destruction.

Li Mo and Captain Balalaika naturally wouldn't value the Xiangsha Society's laundry detergent business. That unscrupulous business had caused countless families to be ruined and lives lost. Li Mo and Captain Balalaika had no interest in it, and even the laundry detergent they seized from the Xiangsha Society was destroyed. However, the Xiangsha Society had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth from its clandestine sales, which Li Mo conveniently took and distributed.

As one of the Japanese yakuza forces, the Xiangsha Society, like other Japanese yakuza groups, doesn't really trust banks. More than half of the wealth they accumulate from selling laundry detergent or other illegal businesses is converted into hard currency such as gold and cash, with only a small portion deposited in personal bank accounts. Now, it's all benefiting Li Mo. Even though he has the resources of the Tianzhu Temple Treasure, he won't hesitate to accept the wealth accumulated by the Xiangsha Society as his spoils of war, otherwise it would just benefit others.

Fortunately, Li Mo still had some principles and bottom line. She plundered all the wealth of the Xiangsha Society, injecting most of it into the EU Group for asset appreciation, allocating a small portion to the Eagle Peak Group for normal operation, and giving a portion as spoils of war to Captain Balalaika, who represented the Moscow Hotel. She even thoughtfully exchanged the spoils directly for US dollars, otherwise she would have had to sell or exchange a lot of the spoils of war.

Of course, Captain Balalaika was very happy. She distributed the considerable sum of money directly to her subordinates, keeping very little for herself. It was a fair distribution based on the number of people and their positions, and then she gathered her subordinates to celebrate!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this operation has been successfully completed. All the prize money has been distributed to you. You can spend it as you see fit, or save it for your families..."

In the former logistics center building of the Moscow Hotel, now the port originally controlled by the Xiangsha Society, Captain Balalaika stood in the brightly lit hall, looking at her subordinates standing around her, and announced the good news of the mission's completion. Then, her lips slightly curled up, she raised a bottle of vodka specially transported by the Eagle Peak Group, and shouted loudly: "Now, everyone, enjoy the good wine of victory!"

Upon hearing Captain Balalaika's words, the former paratroopers, who had been drooling over the aroma of vodka on the surrounding tables, cheered heartily. Several of the drinkers immediately grabbed a bottle of vodka, chug it down, and exclaimed in delight. The others also enjoyed their drinks and food.

It must be said that the celebration banquet for the completion of this mission was very simple yet grand. It was simple because apart from a speaker playing music, there were no other decorations at the banquet. The dishes and drinks were also limited to a few types. Vodka and kvass were the only two drinks available. The dishes included large skewers of grilled meat, red sausage, pork salsa, and pickles. There were also gingerbread and sliced ​​rye bread as snacks. The borscht kept warm in a large aluminum alloy barrel over a low flame emitted an enticing aroma.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of nobles or the wealthy, this style of banquet was too simple and straightforward. However, for most of the former paratroopers who were Slavs or Slavicized, strong liquor, barbecue, and music made it the best banquet. In addition, everyone received a considerable bonus. Even the usually very calm sergeant started tap dancing and laughing loudly with his comrades after downing two glasses of vodka.

Even Captain Balalaika, at this moment, was holding a glass of mixed kvass and vodka, clinking glasses with each of his subordinates to congratulate them, before stepping aside to enjoy dessert; he did not actually stray from the banquet.

"Hey, Locke, don't you like this party atmosphere?"

Seeing the lively and bustling banquet, Levi, one of the Black Reef Merchant Guild's most prominent figures, raised her glass and clinked it with the sergeant's. Then she walked to a table and took a plate of sliced ​​sausage and kebabs. As she enjoyed the delicious food, she noticed Locke holding a wine glass and eating pickled cucumbers and other dishes. Looking at the almost untouched wine glass, she couldn't help but ask him something intriguing.

Not only was Levi present at the banquet, but several key members of the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce were also there. While they did not participate in the actions against the Xiangsha Association because of Li Mo, the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce, which had received other orders from Li Mo, still stayed in Japan and attended the banquet!

"No, no, it's just that I'm not used to drinking strong liquor like vodka..."

Upon hearing Levi's words, Locke quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't dislike banquets. With a helpless expression, he held up his glass of vodka and quietly explained why he didn't drink, in order to avoid being treated as an outsider.

In Japan, the concept of a group is very important among classmates and even colleagues. If Locke were still working in Japan, and you didn't want to attend a party invited by a colleague, you could make excuses once or twice, but if it happened too often or you directly stated that you didn't like attending parties, you would become an oddball in the eyes of others. They wouldn't openly ostracize you, but they would definitely give you the cold shoulder. Locke didn't want to become an oddball in the Black Lagoon Company, because that would really kill him and he would have no other choice.

As for Locke not being able to drink vodka, that's really something that can't be helped. After all, most office workers in Japan drink beer or sake, while the wealthy and high-ranking officials tend to drink various kinds of red wine. There are very few people who drink high-proof liquor.

"Haha, you can mix in some kvass, or just drink kvass!"

Seeing Locke's face-saving act, Dachi, the president of the Black Lagoon Merchant Guild, couldn't help but laugh. He immediately raised his glass of kvass mixed with vodka and took a swig, savoring the unique taste. He then offered Locke a suggestion and, in turn, explained to all the members of the Black Lagoon Merchant Guild what they were going to do next: "Although we didn't participate this time, we fortunately accepted several transportation tasks assigned by Lord Li Mo. After the banquet, we'll rest for two days and then prepare to go back and get to work..."

Although the Black Lagoon Merchant Guild's trip to Tokyo was initially fraught with danger but ultimately turned into a pleasant surprise—encountering a powerhouse like Li Mo, who was practically a bug in the system—the fact that they suffered no casualties and were even hired by him was not a bad thing in Guild Master Dutch's eyes. Moreover, they had received a reward from the Moscow Hotel earlier, making it a trip that was well worth the effort.

As for helping with some highly secretive transport missions as instructed by Li Mo...

Well, the Black Reef Merchant Guild originally operated in the clandestine transportation business, occasionally mixing in other types of missions. They didn't care who their employers were; as long as the other party offered appropriate compensation, they would naturally be willing to work for them.

After all, the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce is not some old-fashioned, rigid organization. In fact, even the Church of God in Roarapura is armed and has a strong background. Otherwise, the violent church in Roarapura would not have acted as an intermediary. However, few people in Roarapura know that the seemingly neutral and often mediating violent church is actually an informant for America's intelligence department. This gives them a general idea of ​​Roarapura's style.

Looking at all the forces in Roarapra, most of them treat wealthy and powerful clients as gods. Unless the client is their mortal enemy or the request is simply impossible to fulfill, there are always forces in Roarapra willing to serve for money. Even forces that have had previous clashes or conflicts are not unwilling to cooperate for the sake of profit. People with high moral standards are really not suitable to stay in Roarapra.

As for the Black Lagoon Company, it naturally doesn't have any overly high moral standards. Or rather, each member of the Black Lagoon Company has their own bottom line, but that absolutely does not include running their own company's business. At the very least, the president of the Black Lagoon Company, Dachi and Levi, will not take on missions involving the transportation of laundry detergent. However, transporting other contraband items and even firearms and ammunition are missions that the Black Lagoon Company has carried out in the past.

Now, when the Black Reef Merchant Guild heard about the commission given by Li Mo, which was simply to transport a few batches of goods according to his requirements, and it wasn't some kind of mission that would result in certain death, Guild Master Dutch naturally agreed without hesitation. He told Levi, Locke, and the others that he planned to play for two days and then go back to do business!

……

"Lord Li Mo, you summoned me here to discuss something important, is there something you wish to say?"

After the banquet had been going on for more than two hours, and a group of former paratroopers had already drunkenly lay down to rest, Captain Balalaika, who was still sober, inspected several sentry posts, then walked to the top floor of the building, looked at Li Mo who had appeared there, and asked him very seriously.

Logically, Captain Balalaika should have been on guard, but having witnessed Li Mo's inhuman fighting prowess firsthand, and knowing the harsh reality that even all her subordinates combined were no match for him, she naturally placed herself in the position of the weaker party. Being wary of the other party was completely unnecessary, since she was no match for him at all. It would be better to carefully inquire why Li Mo had asked her to go to the top floor alone before the banquet started.

Anyway, Captain Balalaika didn't think that Li Mo was looking for her out of boredom. What she didn't know was what a powerful person with such great influence would ask for, which made her feel uneasy. She instinctively felt that something important would happen tonight.

"Balalaika, you really got straight to the point right away!"
