Wang Chao raised an eyebrow, then grasped the ring with his left hand, turning the ancient white ring back and forth. Despite his movements, he showed no intention of taking it off. Aivina watched this with a cold smile at the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to speak, the girl interjected, "Wang Chao, you took my brother Zhang Fusheng's ring; that's not yours!"
Wang Chao smiled at the girl and replied, "This ring can only be handed over to Zhang Fusheng. No one else can have it, not even if you are her family. I'm truly sorry!" As he spoke, Wang Chao tightened the ring further on his finger and then fell silent, staring at Aivina.
"It seems you also want to mobilize that secret unit," Aivina said.
"Oh? Unit?" Wang Chao had never heard that term before. At that moment, Yuan Min slapped his forehead and stepped forward to explain to Wang Chao, "This ring can mobilize a mysterious unit. I've heard that their strength is astonishing; compared to current mutated abilities, they should be at the Platinum Mid-Tier level, consisting of thirty members on standby in Tibet. However, this is just what I've heard; I don't know if it's true or not. I thought you might already know..."
Wang Chao nodded and whispered something in Yuan Min's ear.
"It seems you still don't know the true function of this ring; I'm not afraid to tell you," Aivina scoffed, feigning regret but filled with disdain in her tone. She continued, "The main purpose of this ring is to command that mysterious unit. It has always been the Zhang Family's last trump card to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."
"Their strength is far beyond just Platinum Mid-Tier; they might have reached Platinum Tier," Aivina said as she stood up and murmured a few words in front of the elder before continuing, "Although this unit hasn't appeared for a long time—so long that even the Seven Great Families have begun to forget about them—if we have this unit, unifying the south is entirely possible!"
As she spoke, both the elder and the girl began to walk toward one side of the room.
Wang Chao finally understood the true purpose of this ancient Zhang Family ring and what Zhang Lao had left for Zhang Fusheng. Perhaps Zhang Fusheng had known about this mysterious unit before, but Tibet was too far from the capital for timely mobilization. Now that Zhang Fusheng had the time, he still didn't know where it had gone. Wang Chao remained seated in his chair and said lightly, "It seems you're planning to seize it."
"I asked you very politely before!" Aivina retorted as she pulled out a dagger from beneath the dining table.
Wang Chao hadn't expected a dagger to be hidden under the table; it seemed this woman had a persecution complex or something similar. Nevertheless, he remained seated as if oblivious to the tense situation. He tapped on the table and said, "Oh sister, let's not resort to violence just yet; there's something I still want to ask you."
"Oh?" Aivina replied. "I'm curious to see what you have left to say before your demise."
Wang Chao finally stood up and said, "I just want to ask you, is the president of the Black Clothes Society you?"
"Who else but me, Ai Family, has the financial and human resources to build such a large-scale black market? Yes, I am the president of the Black Clothes Society, the leader of this black market!" Aivina had already drawn her dagger from its sheath and said with a smile, "However, not many have seen my true face; you are the first outsider to know this."
Indeed, the leader of this black market was this woman. Yuan Min never expected that the one leading a group of ruthless killers in black would be a woman, and such a beautiful one at that. Aivina smiled again and picked up a mask from under the table. Wang Chao looked over and saw that it was an unusual mask.
Wang Chao also put on his mask again and said, "Since you are the president of the Black Clothes Society, I will speak plainly: your Vice President died at my hands. I came here to discuss this matter with you, but it seems our grievances go beyond that; today we will settle both old and new debts."
Aivina did not expect that the person who killed her Vice President was Wang Chao standing before her. It truly was a case of enemies meeting.
"I want to know who dares to kill members of my Black Clothes Society. They must be tired of living. You may have heard the saying: if you offend the Black Clothes Society, no matter how far away you are, you will surely be killed." As she spoke, Aivina shouted, "Black Clothes Society members, come in and eliminate the enemy!" At that moment, an old man and a young girl began to move toward the corner of the door just as it opened, and several members of the Black Clothes Society rushed in.
"Make your move!" Wang Chao shouted in response.
In an instant, Wang Chao charged at Aivina. At this moment, he activated his Breathing Technique; he needed to restrain Aivina so Yuan Min could take action. As he ran, his Bone Knife materialized.
"Well well, you even have mutated skills!" Aivina exclaimed. "I definitely can't let you go now!"
The dagger clashed with the Bone Knife; neither could gain an advantage. Then Wang Chao kicked out hard, striking Aivina in the stomach. Aivina countered with her left hand, pushing Wang Chao's leg away and thrusting her dagger directly at his leg. Wang Chao rolled to evade Aivina's stab and counterattacked. In their exchanges, both were evenly matched; neither could overpower the other.
At that moment, members of the Black Clothes Society joined the fray. Wang Chao found himself surrounded and with so many people pouring in, the spacious area became cramped. It was increasingly difficult for him to maneuver. He turned around and swung his Bone Knife in a wide arc; several members rushing from behind were instantly cut down by Wang Chao. Just then, a sudden scream pierced through the chaos, followed by Yuan Min's voice.
"If you move again, her life is forfeit!" Yuan Min shouted.
A few people turned to look, only to see Yuan Min had already taken the girl hostage, a Sleeve Blade pressed against her neck. Earlier, when Yuan Min had informed Wang Chao about the mysterious army, Wang Chao had whispered a few words in Yuan Min's ear, indicating that she would take action soon and needed to seize the girl at the first opportunity.
"Everyone, stop!" Aivina shouted.
