CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 424: THE SCORPION’S RELUCTANCE AND FEAR

The hunt for Ye Fan and Mengyao by the three major leaders ended with the complete annihilation of War Wolf and others, but the matter is far from over. The greatest threat, Meng Yinglong, remains unharmed and must be eliminated.

Of course, the death of War Wolf and others was significantly aided by the five women led by Du Xueqi. Without their help in guarding Mengyao, Ye Fan could not have acted with such decisiveness.

After understanding the situation outside, Ye Fan immediately ordered, "Let Ku Eryue take action. Exterminate Scorpion and the others. On the territory that has just stabilized, no outsider should be so brazen."

"Understood, I’ll call now." Du Xueqi contacted Ku Eryue and conveyed Ye Fan’s instructions.

Only then did Ye Fan calmly say to the five women, "Escort Mengyao to a safe place and wait for my arrival."

"Okay." The five women agreed decisively, complying with Ye Fan’s orders without hesitation.

Mengyao gently suggested, "How about you bring a few more people with you? Leaving one person to protect me is enough; more people means more strength."

Both Chu Mengyao and the five women knew that Ye Fan intended to confront Meng Yinglong. However, Meng Yinglong was at the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps base, surrounded by many people, which is why Mengyao suggested this.

Even though the leaders of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps, including Scorpion, were about to be killed, being cautious is always wise.

"No need," Ye Fan casually replied, "The Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps is widely distributed and has many members. Solving this isn’t easy in a short time. I’ll find a way to get rid of Meng Yinglong, and as for the others, I’ll deal with them gradually."

After leaving the canyon, the group split up. Ye Fan headed straight for the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps base, while Mengyao and the others left the Primitive Forest.

Upon receiving the order, Ku Eryue let out a cold smile and said, "Being watched by this bunch of pups has been a pain for too long. Finally, we can strike and vent our frustration."

"Instruct everyone to attack across the board and destroy all of Scorpion’s targets," commanded Ku Eryue as she personally charged toward Scorpion’s location.

After all, this is the territory of the Wild Alliance Security Company. Scorpion and the others were able to occupy a position here to monitor Ku Eryue and others because Mengyao had become a hostage, so they had turned a blind eye without much interference.

Now, things were different. Mengyao was safe, and there were no more concerns. In fact, Ku Eryue had long since sent people to surround Scorpion and others secretly, knowing exactly how many people were on Scorpion’s side and where they were hiding.

Upon Ku Eryue’s command, the members of the Wild Alliance Security Company, who had been lying in wait, charged toward their predetermined targets.

This was the first battle since the Wild Alliance Security Company was established, and each member charged at the enemy with a fierce battle cry.

Scorpion and his team did not realize that people from the Wild Alliance Security Company had already surrounded them.

In fact, members of the Wild Alliance Security Company were skilled in disguise, and since they were on their home turf, they easily took the initiative, while Scorpion believed firmly that the Wild Alliance Security Company wouldn’t act recklessly, so he paid no attention.

In Scorpion’s mind, the biggest concern for Ku Eryue and others should have been the lives of Ye Fan and Mengyao, and they should have been in turmoil, so why would they still keep a close watch on him? Once Ye Fan and Mengyao were dead, he could retreat unnoticed.

"How is that possible?" Scorpion exclaimed in a building, as his butler had just informed him that War Wolf and three others had likely met a grim fate, leaving him dumbfounded upon receiving the news.

How could anyone believe that the three major leaders of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps would just die like that? The whole Underworld of Asia would find it hard to believe.

Faced with this reality, Scorpion was dismayed and lost all spirit.

"The renowned Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps, is it really going to end like this?" Scorpion murmured despondently, "How could this happen? How can such a thing occur? It shouldn’t be; it just shouldn’t be!"

"Ye Fan, Mengyao, those bastards, what qualifications do they have to become the murderers responsible for the downfall of my Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps?" Scorpion complained bitterly, unable to understand it at all.

Just then, gunfire erupted like thunder from all directions.

"Fourth Leader, Fourth Leader, this is bad, this is really bad! The enemy is attacking from all sides, we are surrounded." A person hurriedly rushed to Scorpion’s side, reporting in panic.

"It’s over, it’s all over. The opponent is well-prepared, and we’re defenseless. We’ll all die here," Scorpion said with a sigh of despair, "Had I known earlier, I’d have been more cautious instead of being caught unawares."

In fact, the butler hadn’t mentioned the rescue of Ye Fan and Mengyao by Du Xueqi and the five women. He had hurriedly called Scorpion to urge him to retreat quickly, but it was already too late. Had Scorpion known that his surveillance target was a significant reason for the misfortune of War Wolf and the three, he would have felt much guiltier.

His mind was preoccupied with why War Wolf and the others, who brought so many men, didn’t kill their prey but instead all died.

There was no time for further thought; the erupting battle forced him into anxiety and fear.

Ku Eryue led the charge, breaking through the defenses of Scorpion and the others, annihilating all enemies that blocked their path.

Quickly, Ku Eryue stood before Scorpion, with killing intent swirling around her.

"So you’re Ku Eryue. I never thought we’d meet under such circumstances. For a well-known figure in the Underworld, groveling before the Chu Group is truly pathetic," Scorpion mocked coldly.

"Enough talk, prepare to die." With a harsh shout, Ku Eryue charged forward.

The battle began, and in the end, Scorpion met a tragic death, filled with unwillingness.

"To think my Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps, renowned in the Underworld and unmatched in might, would end like this, suffering heavy casualties at the hands of a company. Now, with all four leaders dead, the remaining members lack leadership, and their fate is uncertain." This was Scorpion’s final thought before his death.

The death of the four leaders signaled the end for the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Such a trend was unstoppable.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan stepped out from the Wilderness and arrived at the outskirts of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps base. Observing the heavily guarded base, his eyes flickered as he found a gap and infiltrated the base, heading straight for Meng Yinglong.
