Chapter 869 - 867 The Complex Shadow Alliance, the True Power Holder

“But Aiden is ambitious, and he doesn’t want to be controlled by the Old Fox for long, so he raised an adopted son and secretly transferred his power.”

“Even with his cleverness, he could not escape the Old Fox’s watchful eyes. That’s why he was later framed and driven out of the Shadow Alliance.”

“However, his foster son was unaware of the situation, still thinking he was relying on the power of the Shadow Alliance, and committed many incomprehensible acts.”

“In the end, the Shadow Alliance only received one message, which was that Aiden had passed away, and there was no further news of the foster son.”

After finishing the story of Aiden, Xiao Mi looked up at Wen Xin, “What do you want to know about the Shadow Alliance? The current head of the Shadow Alliance is Wen Yuqing, a man of extremely sinister means and the one most valued by the Old Fox.”

Hearing this name, Wen Xin’s brows furrowed slightly; this Wen Yuqing was unfamiliar to her.

“You might not be familiar with him; he didn’t grow up in Independent State. Perhaps even Wen Yunuo doesn’t know him. He has been with the Shadow Alliance since childhood, and till now, he rarely appears there, unless summoned by the Old Fox; otherwise, he never returns to the Shadow Alliance.”

Xiao Mi could sense the confusion in Wen Xin’s heart from her expression. Not just Wen Xin, who had been away from the Wen family for a long time, but even Wen Yunuo, who had lived there for a long time, might not know this person.

Wen Xin tapped the back of the sofa armrest with her hand resting on it, silent for a while, unsure of what else to ask. She felt disordered, with an impulse to go and see for herself what the Shadow Alliance was like inside.

After a long silence, Wen Xin looked up at Xiao Mi, “How does the Shadow Alliance contact you?”

“Through a software application on my cell phone. However, after I was caught by Mu Chengxi and brought before you last time, I was kicked out from the internal group. The application on my phone has been deactivated, and I no longer have any way to contact the Shadow Alliance.”

“There’s also something I should remind you of; I don’t know if you’re aware of a force called the Chou League. On the surface, it seems to stand in opposition to the Shadow Alliance, but the Observing Alliance Leader of the Chou League once made an appearance in the Shadow Alliance.”

“I remember at the time, I was just recovering from an injury in the Shadow Alliance, and I heard that a distinguished guest had arrived. Out of curiosity, I inquired about this guest, who turned out to be the Old Alliance Leader of the Chou League.”

“However, some say that the Observing Alliance Leader is no longer involved in the affairs of the Chou League, and it was Wen Yuqing who invited him to the Shadow Alliance, but I think it’s not that simple.”

“Even though the Old Alliance Leader is no longer involved, the Young Alliance Leader’s words may not carry as much weight as the Observing Alliance Leader’s, and this could become a time bomb in the future…”

Xiao Mi spoke while looking into Wen Xin’s eyes, and for a moment, Wen Xin felt Xiao Mi had discovered her identity as the Young Alliance Leader of the Chou League.

But soon, Xiao Mi spoke again, dispelling Wen Xin’s doubts.

“But to come back to it, this Young Alliance Leader of the Chou League is also very formidable. I’ve heard she is a very handsome and dashing youth, not old, but highly skilled, with her most powerful asset being Hidden Weapons. The number one on the killers’ list personally attested to her prowess.”

“Just that I don’t know if there will ever be an opportunity to meet this formidable person.”

Xiao Mi’s tone carried a bit of regret, prompting Wen Xin to feel as though Xiao Mi admired the hero in another, which was very strange indeed.

“You, stop daydreaming about all that stuff and just sort out the Shadow Alliance’s information for me and send it to my email. I’m in a hurry!”

“Also, I’ll handle the other matters myself. I will avenge my parents’ great enemy, but not now. Once I’ve taken care of some unfinished business, I will go back to Independent State, and then I will take you and Wen Huai back with me.”

Wen Xin looked into Xiao Mi’s eyes, knowing full well what Xiao Mi wanted to say, which was nothing more than her desire to be involved and not just an observer. She would certainly give them opportunities, but it was not the time yet.

Wen Xin’s words made Xiao Mi, who was about to say something more, tactfully close her mouth and nod solemnly.

“I get it. I’ll try not to cause you any trouble or bring you problems, but if someone comes to me, I won’t be soft-handed. If they trace it back to me, I’ll still need your help sorting it out.”

Xiao Mi’s voice was muffled as she looked down at her own beautiful fingers, strongly wanting to say that she truly just wished to study medicine in peace, but some people did not want her to live comfortably.

“Alright, I understand. Wen Huai has also moved into the school recently, so if you have any trouble, remember to call him; he’s the one who can get to you the fastest.”

Ever since discovering Xiao Mi’s identity, Wen Huai had moved back into the school from the research institute, both for the convenience of attending classes during the day and because he was worried that people from Independent State wouldn’t let Xiao Mi be and felt that being at school would allow him to take better care of her.

When Xiao Mi heard that Wen Huai would be able to help in times of crisis, she scoffed disdainfully.

“Him? I could beat him with one hand tied behind my back; none of those people are a match for me. You don’t have to worry about my safety. It’s those people who should be worried; by coming to me, they have almost no chance of leaving alive.”

Xiao Mi proudly flicked her hair, her rank of third on the killers’ list was not made up; she had climbed to her current status step by step through her own efforts.

“All right, I still have a class tonight, and I’d like to go to the medical lab, so I’m busy. But I will get you the detailed information about the Shadow Alliance within three days; I’m heading back to school now.”

Xiao Mi stood up, grabbed her jacket casually tossed on the sofa, and slipped it on. She walked straight to Mu Bei, resting a hand on his shoulder.

“Would you mind taking me back to the school, Brother Bei?”

Mu Bei looked at the teasing Xiao Mi with a sense of helplessness. She found the girl somewhat endearing, calling him ‘brother’ when she needed help, then pushing him to take the blame when trouble arose… He was completely at her mercy.

“Alright, quit hesitating and let’s go!” Saying this, Xiao Mi pulled on Mu Bei’s arm and dragged him out of Wen Xin’s home.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Watching Xiao Mi and Mu Bei leave, Wen Xin settled into a different position on the sofa; she was pondering why her foster father had gone to the Shadow Alliance and just what it all meant.
