Young Master in Flower City

"Let's get back to business now!" Duan Xingnan smiled and nodded, continuing, "Regarding the matter of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, what does President Zhan think? The last time the Celestial Eagle and Yun Ying of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles forcibly entered our Seven-Star Tower Headquarters, I'm sure you've already heard about it!"

"Of course!" Zhan Wushuang sneered, saying, "According to rumors, that night, the Fortress Master of the Flying Peng Castle personally appeared, saving the Celestial and Yun Eagles. Originally, there was an opportunity to kill you, the Tower Master, yet he didn't do it for some unknown reason. If he really wanted to unite the Martial Combat Realm, he probably wouldn't have missed that chance. Sometimes I wonder if your claim that the Twelve Flying Peng Castles want to unify the Martial Combat Realm is a bit exaggerated!"

Zhan Wushuang's voice was neither warm nor cold, seemingly revealing Duan Xingnan's intentions. Duan Xingnan was clearly using this to employ the Assassin's Guild against the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, but who was Zhan Wushuang? How could he easily fall for Duan Xingnan's scheme?

Of course, if the Twelve Flying Peng Castles truly intended to unify the Martial Combat Realm, Zhan Wushuang would not sit idly by. However, in Zhan Wushuang's view, that was not the case; it was simply Duan Xingnan leveraging the situation.

"Is President Zhan suspecting I have ulterior motives?" Duan Xingnan asked with a smile, to which Zhan Wushuang replied, "Whether or not there are ulterior motives, I'm afraid the Tower Master knows best. I shan't accompany you any longer, farewell!"

Having said that, Zhan Wushuang stood up to leave, and Duan Xingnan said, "President Zhan may choose not to believe my words. But should you one day realize the ambitions of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, by then, it might already be too late!"

"I will make my own decisions!" Zhan Wushuang replied with a smile.

Duan Xingnan continued, "The Twelve Flying Peng Castles forcefully rose to power in the Martial Combat Realm three years ago, and overnight became one of the top forces. Over the past three years, the cultivation of the Twelve Flying Eagles has grown steadily. Should the day come when we can no longer suppress them, do you believe their ambitions won't swell? I invited President Zhan here today merely to unite our forces to eradicate this tumor. Of course, if President Zhan believes the Assassin's Guild can stand alone and doesn't care about the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, then just consider today as if I said nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Wushuang paused, his expression changing slightly. Clearly, Duan Xingnan's words struck a chord with him.

Seeing this scene, Duan Xingnan continued, "Now that I have identified the identity of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles' Fortress Master, he is currently hiding within a transnational company in Huaxia called Qingcheng International. The Assassin's Guild has numerous experts, especially the Phantom Killer, who can kill without a trace, undetected, so why not..."

"No need to say more, farewell!" Zhan Wushuang raised his foot to leave the secret chamber, and a cold smile formed at the corner of Duan Xingnan's mouth, fully aware of the significant impact his words had just made.

After Zhan Wushuang left, Duan Xingnan also departed the secret chamber, entering the core fortress of Seven-Star Tower, which was built in the shape of a pyramid and contained the identity information of influential figures from around the world.

Here, there was no person whose identity could not be investigated except for a prominent figure from Tianyu International. This figure was merely a commercial titan, which did not attract much of Duan Xingnan's attention.

"Tower Master!" At this moment, a young man stood up in the fortress and saluted respectfully. Duan Xingnan spoke indifferently, "Hong Lei, investigate someone for me!"

"Who!"

"Xiao Tianyu!" Duan Xingnan wanted to see how vast Xiao Tianyu's identity information was, capable of making the savior at Shangguan Biyue's side collapse. Hong Lei nodded, "Yes!"

Hong Lei was a manager within the core fortress and also the most formidable hacker expert in the Seven-Star Tower. If he wanted to hack someone's identity information, it was never beyond his capability.

Subsequently, Hong Lei came to the largest screen and began typing on the keyboard, starting the scan. However, the final result was similar to what Shangguan Biyue had searched for, showing very limited identity information.

After a while, with no useful clues, Duan Xingnan saw this and spoke indifferently, "You can try hacking into the state secret archives."

Upon hearing this, Hong Lei nodded, and the page navigated to the national secret archives to begin the search. As a window popped up, it displayed SSSSSS classified archives, with insufficient permissions.

What the heck?

Hong Lei's first reaction was the same as Shangguan Biyue's, completely unable to figure out what was going on. The highest national leader was merely SSSSS, classified as a state high confidential archive, yet Xiao Tianyu was shown as SSSSSS, which truly baffled Hong Wei.

Of course, not understanding also made one curious.

"Don't panic. Take your time to crack it, and let me know if there's a result!" With that, Duan Xingnan left the core fortress and headed to the main hall of Seven-Star Tower, while Hong Lei continued typing on the keyboard, preparing to hack into Xiao Tianyu's identity archives.

...

On the street, Xiao Tianyu continued walking with both hands in his pockets when suddenly Xiao Li appeared before him again, leaving Xiao Tianyu slightly stunned. Had his identity archives been attacked again?

"Master, your archives have been invaded once more, but were successfully intercepted. How would you like to handle it? It seems..."

"Do I even need to ask?" Xiao Tianyu gave Xiao Li a sidelong glance and continued walking with his hands in his pockets, as if he couldn't care less.

Xiao Li chuckled, "Understood, Master!"

Every day there are those courting death, today especially so. Since they seek death, there's nothing she can do but oblige them.

As the IP was locked in, Xiao Li suddenly hesitated, "Master, this is an invasion from another world. Shall we continue to counterattack?"

"What do you think?"

"Doesn't Master want to know who it is?"

"Not interested!"

"Alright then!" Xiao Li nodded, quickly locking in the location, and launched the fiercest counterattack.

...

Seven-Star Tower, core fortress.

Hong Lei struggled to hack Xiao Tianyu's identity archives, confused as to why he couldn't crack them. He was armed with the world's most advanced technology, and as a top hacker himself, he found it deeply frustrating that an ordinary encrypted archive blocked him out.

Even with his highest permissions, it was of no use.

However, before long, the main screen in the fortress abruptly changed, with all sorts of chaotic data flooding in, from various texts to barcodes — it no doubt had everything imaginable.

Hong Lei, upon seeing this, was utterly shocked, as if turned to stone, with only two words in his mind: invasion.

It was indeed a reverse invasion by the opponent.

However, right at that moment, a window popped up on the large screen with a red alert.

The next second, an urgent alarm sounded, "Warning! Warning! Warning! System overload, please take immediate action!"

Hong Lei was completely panicked, unsure of how to handle the situation.

Within less than two seconds, another red window appeared.

"Danger! Danger! Danger! The system cannot sustain and is about to collapse, please vacate the fortress immediately!"
