This night, father and son Luo Hong and Luo Shucheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

As the first ray of morning light broke through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of Luo Group Building, the top-floor meeting room was already filled with people.

Aside from father and son Luo Hong and Luo Shucheng, the rest were senior executives and shareholders of Luo Group.

After Luo Shucheng left his father’s study last night, he had arranged everything.

“Brother Hong, the Xiao Group, this massive entity, will be targeted by international forces.

Is this information reliable or not?

How come I haven’t heard anything about it?” A balding man, probably in his early fifties, pinched the bridge of his nose with a look of impatience and unease.

“Yes, Uncle Hong, we rushed back to the company in the middle of the night, hastily gathered funds, dispatched traders, and set up such a big plan.

If something big really happens to Xiao Group, that’s good.

But if nothing happens, given Xiao Group’s and Old Xiao’s style of handling things, they will inevitably use this incident against us.

What’s more, it will cause panic among our company’s employees.

If that happens, we’ll be in trouble!” A man in his thirties, looking sharp and skinny, rubbed his temples and glanced at the man who had just spoken, hesitated, and then said.

The two speakers, the older one being an old-timer who had established a huge empire with Luo Hong, was now the Executive Vice President of Luo Group.

The slightly younger man was a financial director of the same generation who had fought alongside Luo Hong.

These two, along with a few other executives and shareholders who did not speak up, were people absolutely trusted by Luo Hong and his son.

Precisely for this reason, despite their doubts, they chose to comply unconditionally at the request of Luo Shucheng.

But now, all the liquid assets of Luo Group had been withdrawn, and top international traders have been hired.

This inevitably caused suspicions among them, and they couldn’t help but bring up the issue.

Although Luo Hong’s eyes betrayed his unease and impatience, his face remained unchanged as he said, “Everyone, please be patient.

My information is absolutely reliable!

Tell those traders, as soon as the stock market opens, to aggressively target Xiao Group.

Don’t have any second thoughts!”

Everyone tried to calm down upon hearing this, but their hearts were anything but settled.

“You got me drunk, you made me cry, I bore all the guilt, fighting desperately to make amends…”

Just as Luo Hong was indecisively stroking his stubbled chin, and the rest were equally anxious, Luo Shucheng’s phone suddenly rang urgently.

Everyone nervously turned to look at Luo Shucheng; they were clearly on edge.

Glancing at the time, it was just past six in the morning.

Luo Shucheng answered the call: “Hello, did you find out?”

“Brother Cheng, a huge change occurred overnight within the inner city of Four-nine City.

The Xiao Family Mansion for some reason was leveled to the ground, including that person, none of the Xiao family members survived!” From the receiver, a voice came, hasty yet gleeful, revealing complex emotions on the other end of the phone.

“Are you sure?” Luo Shucheng furrowed his brows slightly, shocked yet still composed as he asked.

“Brother Cheng, would I lie to you?

The higher-ups have already issued a gag order, insisting on absolute silence about this matter.

If discovered, severe punishment will follow!” The person on the other end of the phone sounded obviously rushed, raising their voice involuntarily.

“Okay, okay!

You’ve done well!” Luo Shucheng’s voice trembled as he ended the call, then turned to the tense crowd and said, “News from within Four-nine City says that for some reason, the Xiao Family Mansion has been leveled to the ground, and all members of the Xiao family, including that one person, did not survive!”

“Ah!

Really?” Luo Hong exclaimed in surprise, slamming his hand on the table.

Luo Shucheng did not speak, just nodded with a grave expression.

“This is great!” The rest of the shareholders and executives, though a bit puzzled, were ecstatic.

If it was true, then the Xiao Group was completely finished.

The present crowd started to admire Luo Hong and his son’s capabilities.

An event that happened just last night, and yet they had begun preparations so early on.

What an expansive network they must have!

“Quickly, after the market opens at nine-fifteen, instruct the traders to target Luo Group at all costs.

This is a rare opportunity!” After the shock, Luo Hong calmed his nerves and began issuing one order after another.

Let’s not talk about this for now; at this moment, in Four-nine City, the atmosphere was extraordinarily oppressive.

In front of the ruins that Huang San had reduced to powder stood the original Xiao Family Mansion.

The capital garrison had already cordoned off the area with a police line, with troops in green military uniform carrying live ammunition moving back and forth around the perimeter.

A middle-aged man with a sullen look that made people uncomfortable upon sight, was pacing back and forth across the ruins of the Xiao Family Mansion with a deeply furrowed brow.

Accompanying him was a young military officer with a strapping figure, holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

“This doesn’t seem like the work of modern thermal weapons!” The middle-aged man grabbed a handful of fine gray dust, and continued, “Lieutenant Colonel, look.

This dust was the main material that made up the Xiao Family Mansion.

This whole area is considered ancient architecture, with the main beams made of nanmu timber from the deep old forests in the southwest of our country, while most of the stonework is made of Han white jade.

These two materials may be thousands of years old, but they are still strong and durable.

To reduce these materials to dust in an instant, it would require the latest developed Quantum Weapons.

There’s no other way!”

The Lieutenant Colonel nodded and said with a firm voice, “General Yang, could it be that foreign powers have developed Quantum Weapons that surpass current technology and directly targeted the Xiao residence?”

General Yang discarded the fine sand from his hands and scoffed while dusting his hands, “Lieutenant Colonel, have you become foolish from being a soldier?

This is Dragon City.

Could foreign missiles escape the monitoring satellites hovering over Hua Xia’s head?”

The Lieutenant Colonel cracked a big smile, embarrassed, and remained silent.

Just then, a young soldier approached and saluted, “Reporting to the commander, outside there is a young man with a confidential order, specifically asking to see the highest-ranking commander here!”

General Yang was taken aback for a moment, then saluted back and said, “Let him in!”

“Yes!” The young soldier was excited in his heart.

Damn!

I also got the chance to speak to the General!

That’s the General!

After about a few minutes, a young man in Nike sportswear swaggered in, looking very much like a street ruffian.

General Yang frowned at the young man, unable to comprehend why the higher-ups would send such an unreliable punk here.

“Are you the highest-ranking commander here?” The young man shook his leg and gave General Yang a sideways glance, with a very strange expression.

General Yang’s frown deepened even further, but considering that this guy was sent from above, he resignedly said, “Yes, that’s me!

And you are?”

The young man suddenly changed from his casual demeanor, snapped his legs together, and stood up straight.

A fierce and domineering aura began to emanate from him.

Giving a military salute, the young man said, “Reporting to the commander, the head of the Huaxia Special Action Group 7, ‘Water Otter’, reporting for duty!”

“Uh!” Surprised by Water Otter’s drastically different demeanor, General Yang was speechless.

He returned the salute and took the confidential order and a book stamped with a steel seal from Water Otter’s hand.

Opening the book, it clearly stated: “Ling Hua, disciple of Yuxu Palace, Head of Huaxia Special Action Group 7, Major General rank!”

The confidential order also stated unequivocally: “Hereby appointing the head of Special Action Group 7, Ling Hua, as the highest commanding officer for the Xiao Mansion incident, responsible for a thorough investigation.

Effective immediately!”

General Yang’s heart trembled, nearly throwing the book away.

He may not know what the other Special Action Groups were about, but he was well aware of this one.

The Special Action Group was Hua Xia Country’s most extraordinary existence.

Legend had it that the Special Action Group was divided into seven parts.

The first group was responsible for domestic and international intelligence gathering; the second group for scientific research and development; the third group for medical treatment; the fourth group for logistics and supplies; the fifth group for domestic and international economic manipulation; the sixth group for corruption cases; the seventh group for supernatural incidents and treason cases.

Group 7 was precisely the most extraordinary existence within the Special Action Group.

It was said that every member of Group 7 could fly through the sky and chase the stars, hailed as Earth Immortals.

“The incident here?” General Yang’s face underwent a drastic change and started to sweat profusely.

“Sorry, no comment!” Ling Hua looked at General Yang expressionlessly and continued, “General Yang, please issue a gag order!

Whoever leaks this matter, regardless of their identity, will be treated as committing the crime of treason!” (To be continued.
