City D, Crimson Phoenix headquarters.
Sitting in the chairwoman's seat, Alicia receives a call from a beautiful professor at the military base of City B.
"I told you, I won't interfere in any other business.
I don't care who shows up and how strong he is. I also don't care if he gets the nickname Ice Dragon, Ice Phoenix, or Ice Emperor!
If it has nothing to do with Blood Owl, please don't contact me. Because, as the leader of the Crimson Phoenix, I also have my own busyness."
Said in a cold tone, Alicia hung up the phone. He then looked towards the city buildings outside the glass windows. After a while, the woman let out a long breath.
"Are you okay, Chief?"
"Oh, Alexia."
Seeing her vice and best friend coming, Alicia forced herself to smile.
Enough time has passed. However, the effect of the Blood Owl's betrayal was still evident in the woman's mind. Until now, Alicia still could not believe that the man she thought was both good and hope for the mystery department had suddenly turned away for no apparent reason.
"It's okay."
Seeing the woman forcing herself to smile, Alexia could not help but feel worried. Even if he was interested in Mr. Owl, he wouldn't have thought so much about it. Rather, it was a reason where he could make excuses for himself in order to forget that person.
"If that's Mr Owl's problem, I guess—"
"I told you I'm fine, Alexia!"
Unknowingly, Alicia shouted out loudly. Looking towards her best friend with a guilty expression, the woman again said.
"I'm sorry, if there's nothing else, can you leave me alone, Alexia?"
Seeing Alicia's appearance, Alexia let out a long sigh.
"Good."
After Alexia left, Alicia leaned back on her chair. Closing his eyes, he had a painful expression on his face. It seemed that, for some reason, the word betrayal became something that was deeply imprinted in his heart.

At the Wings of Freedom headquarters.
"Because you have planned to buy a hill in a remote place. Should we also buy a large piece of land not far from there, Chairman?"
Hearing Adam's talk, the other four people also wanted to buy land. Of course, they could tell the difference, the hill that Adam bought himself obviously had nothing to do with the Wings of Freedom. After all, they could still distinguish between group affairs and personal affairs.
It's just, they get inspired when Adam speaks casually.
"No need."
Adam immediately refused.
"We better develop Wings of Freedom in another way. After all, our roots in City B are still not very deep. There are a lot of homeworkers we have to do.
First, our headquarters is now starting to narrow. Even after buying several houses, we actually seem clustered and less neatly arranged. So, before thinking about anything else, we better buy a house and land around and then renovate it.
After all, many of our members need a permanent residence. I felt that we could buy an empty land next door, then build a special dormitory for them to live in. There is no need to have a large room, but we can get many rooms.
Unlike White Wings, most Black Wings members had difficult lives. Therefore, I want to focus on improving their lives.
As for White Wings, many new businesses were acquired. We need to manage well in order to produce more and make the quality better.
So, instead of focusing on the outside. We have to take care of the internal matters first."
Hearing Adam's reply, the four men came to a realization. Compared to the thought of the young man, they seemed too relaxed.
If you think back, Wings of Freedom looks more like an occupier who seized territory and started doing business there. If they did not make a place to stay and long-term preparations, they could have been ousted by another group.
At that time, without a solid foundation, Wings of Freedom will disperse and become homeless. Of course, many members would still live comfortably, only, for those members who previously did not have a home, they would actually fall down again.
It seemed, all of it would only be a dream that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"You're right, Chief. Black Wings has a lot of homework to do.
Can I say all this to the people below, Chairman? Although this is a pretty secret development plan, I think it can motivate them to practice and work harder for a brighter future."
Adam who was looking at Randy replied casually.
"It's not a secret at all. In just some time, as we develop, other groups will know what we are trying to do.
So, if you think it's useful, you can tell them."
"Thank you, Chief."
"I trust the Black Wings to you. I know there will be a lot of trouble and it feels heavy. But remember, the future of many is on your shoulders, Randy."
After saying that, Adam looked towards Brock before continuing.
"You should help Randy, too, Brock. Even if you're not so smart, you know what's right and wrong. So, when Randy almost got lost ...
Hit and drag him back to his path."
"I understand, Chief."
Brock nodded with a serious expression.
Shawn felt himself and Matt had been ignored, so the man pointed towards himself while putting on a blank expression.
"For the White Wings," Adam stroked his chin. "Make more money."
"That's all?!"
Shawn dumbfounded.
"Of course, I also have a duty for you guys."
"What is that, Chief?"
"Gather money and intelligence."
"Eh?"
Seeing that Shawn didn't understand much, Adam began to explain.
"Most Black Wings come from the very bottom. Without having much intelligence or capital, they would have to rely on both hands and feet to survive. They will be more devoted in terms of combat.
As for White Wings, with a strong background, you can build a big business. As to why we need so much money, you know the cruel but indisputable fact.
Money cannot buy everything, but it can be used to do many things.
I want the White Wings to have enough money to keep the Wings of Freedom stable. In addition, I hope you can also collect data on all officials and important people in city B.
In addition to enough money to silence them, we must also have data in order to hold onto their weaknesses. So, White Wings had a very important part.
Do you guys understand?"
"We understand, Chief!"
Shawn and Matt answered simultaneously.
Seeing that the Wings of Freedom continued to grow well, Adam raised the corner of his lips. I am quite satisfied with the current development.

Meanwhile, in a small village hut close to City B.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
The figure of the girl in simple clothes knocked on the door. If Adam saw the girl, he would definitely recognize her. After all, it was the girl that Adam had saved before.
"Lake in."
The voice of the old man sounded from within the small hut. Hearing the words, the girl opened the door and went inside the hut.
When he looked inside, the girl saw a small room. There was only one bed, one table, and one chair. There is no kitchen or other space.
It looked like an old man with a thick beard and was wearing old-fashioned clothes. His hair had turned white and his body was full of wrinkles. What was most striking was that the old man had lost his left hand.
That guy is not really that foreign. He was the owner of the Rose Pattern Blood Spider and the one who made the special mushroom cultivation place.
The old man who killed Nam's parents at once tried to kill the boy.
"Is something wrong?" ask the old man.
"That guy's really coming, Mr. Dong."
"So, the green-scaled python I released really caught his attention?"
"really. He saved me and killed the python with ease."
"So that's it." Old Dong nodded. "What about the two children of the Thunder Fang Sect?"
"It just so happened that they met the man. It seems they know each other."
"Then?"
"They went to talk about something, completely immediately left me."
"Did the Thunder Fang Sect invite that person? From the friction that had occurred between Cultivators and ordinary people lately, it was indeed possible.
It's just that, according to the information I was looking for, that person shouldn't have accepted their offer.
Yep. The point is, I know how to lure that guy out. Really good news."
The man walked towards the previous girl with a friendly smile on his face.
"Can you help me help the tiger, Mr Dong? That poor creature would definitely be in trouble if he found the villagers."
"No need to worry, the villagers won't find him."
Old Dong stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the neck of the girl. Feeling suffocated, the girl tried to struggle, but everything was a remnant.
Along with a clicking sound, the girl stopped moving.
Having a gentle smile on his face, Old Dong said in a gentle tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, I'll handle the rest."
