Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Hu Zhengwei bribed people from Dahe, Zhao Baijing brought Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei to the mortuary where Matsushma Kaede and Okazaki Yokawa's corpses were placed.

"Zhengwei, transport their bodies to a nearby hospital for scans, give me the films, I mainly want to see the injured areas, and check if there are any issues with their skeletal structures."

After observing the corpses of Okazaki Yokawa and Matsushma Kaede, Zhao Baijing couldn't find the specific problem because the corpses were already frozen stiff, but he still felt that Matsushma Kaede's injuries seemed quite unusual.

That night, Hu Zhengwei delivered the reports of the scans and autopsy of Matsushma Kaede and Okazaki Yokawa to Zhao Baijing.

Upon seeing the examination reports of Matsushma Kaede and Okazaki Yokawa, Zhao Baijing's eyes widened.

"Hiss... Matsushma Kaede's internal organs are severely damaged! This must have been caused by True Qi impact!"

Zhao Baijing's brow furrowed.

Next to him, Meng Kuang asked in confusion, "Master, are you saying that Matsushma Kaede was killed by someone with True Qi as a weapon?"

"Precisely, it must have been an immortality cultivator, and not a low-level one!"

Zhao Baijing repeatedly analyzed the autopsy report, sneering, "Both of them almost have no external wounds, but their muscles and internal organs are severely damaged... This is the work of a cultivation expert who likely killed them within two or three moves!"

Zhao Baijing's analysis left Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei bewildered.

The two looked at each other in confusion, "No, Qin Tian definitely doesn't have the capability to assassinate with that kind of skill."

Meng Kuang said, "I'm familiar with Qin Tian's strength. Master, Qin Tian is merely a Qigong practitioner like me; an immortality cultivator... him? Haha, there's no way his talent is better than mine, it's impossible!"

Zhao Baijing laid down the autopsy report, worried, "No matter what, regardless of War Dragon and Qin Tian's strengths, now is the time for us Skull and War Dragon to cross blades."

"Back when I was the captain of the Skull Mercenary Team, our relationship with Dragon Soul was extremely hostile, practically mortal enemies. Now, I imagine War Dragon and us are no better off."

"Whether or not Qin Tian destroyed Dahe, objectively speaking, the Dahe Mercenary Team is now a dead name, leaving only us and War Dragon in the Asian Mercenary Association, two powers clashing."

"Even if we don't act against War Dragon, I reckon past and present grudges will lead them to see us as thorns in their side and eliminate us. So it's time for us to act."

Zhao Baijing's analysis was met with nods from Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei.

In the Asian Mercenary Association, with the near extinction of Dahe Mercenary Team, it's War Dragon's domain now.

At least, War Dragon's influence occupies over sixty percent of the Asian Mercenary Association.

Under such circumstances, as an established ruler, Skull can't possibly stand idly by.

"Master, preemptive action sees victory; shall we target Qin Tian first?" Meng Kuang aggressively suggested, "Capture the leader first; eliminating Qin Tian would cripple War Dragon, leaving them absolutely unable to stand!"

Hu Zhengwei agreed, "Yes, War Dragon's other members are manageable; Captain Meng can take them on. It's Qin Tian who's a little formidable with his martial arts and extremely cunning; we must eliminate him first."

"How to eliminate him?"

Zhao Baijing directly questioned, which rendered Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei speechless for a moment.

Meng Kuang pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "Master, this Qin Tian... his strength might be comparable to mine, and the chances of me killing him are only fifty to sixty percent, not guaranteed, so..."

"So, it still requires me to step in, or call for reinforcements from headquarters?"

Zhao Baijing smirked coldly, causing both Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei to lower their heads.

Following the recent mutual damage between Skull's Asian branch and Dahe, although Skull has been recruiting continuously, its strength has undoubtedly weakened. With the current strength, dealing with War Dragon and Qin Tian indeed poses a challenge.

Thus, what Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei thought was, as Zhao Baijing suggested, to request external support.

"Alright, I'll discuss with headquarters and have them deploy a few top-grade experts; if that doesn't work, I'll have to intervene myself."

Zhao Baijing pondered, and to safeguard Skull's dominating status in Asia, he decided to apply for reinforcements from headquarters.

...

"Boss, the Asian Mercenary Association is holding an emergency meeting; you need to come back and take charge. With both you and Old Zhou absent, and me being a newbie in the Asian Mercenary Association, not knowing everyone yet, I definitely won't be able to hold the fort."

Qin Tian received a call from Wild Boar urgently while cultivating in the deep mountains of Beijing for less than a week.

"What's the matter that requires my return?"

At this moment, Qin Tian was on the verge of a breakthrough; give him two more days, and with the aid of spiritual flowers and grass, he would definitely enter the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

To his surprise, at this crucial moment, the Asian Mercenary Association called for an urgent meeting.

"Dahe is withdrawing from the Asian Mercenary Association, and there's a lack of a committee member, so we need to discuss a replacement list. This matter is somewhat urgent, but I think it's an opportunity for our Asian Mercenary Association, so when other committee members suggested the emergency meeting, I agreed," said Wild Boar.

"This is indeed important. Alright, I'll return for a while; when is the meeting?"

Qin Tian thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.

"The day after tomorrow."

"Alright. Make proper arrangements and be prepared to guard against any small-scale actions from Skull. Keep in touch with me at all times; I'll book a flight to Bangkok."

Qin Tian packed his bags and directly returned to Beijing, flying to Bangkok that very noon.

Wild Boar picked him up at the airport and explained the ins and outs of the situation to Qin Tian.

Okazaki Yokawa's tragic death prompted Dahe to withdraw from the Asian Mercenary Association and return to Japan. This was within Qin Tian's expectations.

Additionally, Qin Tian heard from Wild Boar about Skull's plans.

Skull aimed to directly eliminate the vacancy for a committee member, which means they wanted the committee to be composed of only four teams. This way, Skull could at least counterbalance Qin Tian in committee meetings, creating a five-five situation with Qin Tian.

As long as it's equal, Skull can suppress Qin Tian.

"Haha, they're playing a pretty good hand here; Dahe is gone, and now Skull finally stands up to confront us?"

Wearing sunglasses, Qin Tian showed a hint of sinister grin at the corner of his mouth, "Very well, my Dragon Soul comrades have awaited this day for many years!"
