The planner behind this incident has reached unparalleled levels of understanding of human greed and the control of human minds.

A few mysterious parchment fragments and some ambiguous so-called oracles stirred up a great storm, leaving Jin Zhong at a loss and extremely shocked.

At this moment, someone outside the tent reported loudly, "Report to the General, the Great Protector has arrived."

Jin Zhong felt a chill in his heart. Although he was the Legion Commander of the Tianhuo Mercenaries, his status and position were still vastly different from that of the Great Protector of the Fire Gate.

He quickly stood up and went outside the tent to greet him.

Outside the tent, Yang Xiao, dressed in a black suit, walked in accompanied by four Fire Gate Martial Artists.

Yang Xiao's body was still wrapped in bandages; the injuries from the previous fight with Yang Fei had not yet healed.

However, Yang Xiao's entire being exuded a powerful force like a volcano erupting, even more vigorous than before his duel with Yang Fei.

Yang Xiao's cheek was wrapped in a bandage, looking quite comical, yet one side of his face was extremely gloomy, making Jin Zhong's heart tighten instantly.

Jin Zhong, with an uneasy heart, invited Yang Xiao to the seat of honor and forced a smile.

"I wonder what advice the Great Protector has for coming here?"

"Hmph!"

Yang Xiao snorted heavily, "Outside, more than three thousand mercenaries are pressing in, alarming the headquarters. The Fire Gate headquarters ordered me to come down and see what exactly is going on."

At the mention of this, Jin Zhong's heart turned bitter.

Who could have expected that a few rumors would stir up such a great storm within 48 hours?

Seeing the bitterness on his face, Yang Xiao slightly relaxed his tone.

"The situation here has already been reported to the headquarters. Some ill-intentioned individuals are deliberately causing trouble, trying to break through the blockade and enter the restricted area."

"And the mastermind, I estimate, is Yang Fei. Only this guy has such strategic insight and schemes."

At this point, Yang Xiao coldly smiled.

"So, this time the headquarters sent me here to, first, inspect your work, and second, well, I'm here to kill."

"Kill?"

Jin Zhong shuddered, suddenly realizing.

"You're here to kill the mastermind? Great, as long as we can eliminate this scourge, make an example, things will be much easier."

Yang Xiao's thin lips pursed tightly, appearing extremely ruthless.

"Your task now is to identify this person, gather intelligence on him, and not miss a single detail."

"He's definitely hiding within some small mercenary corps; once we find him, we'll kill him off to the last man, sparing no one."

Jin Zhong nodded solemnly, then sighed with difficulty.

"To be honest with the Great Protector, among these thousands of people, it's extremely difficult to identify such a person, but since the headquarters has ordered it, I will do my best."

Yang Xiao smiled; the smile was very sinister.

"It sounds difficult, but once you understand it, it's not difficult at all."

"If you were Yang Fei, seeing thousands surrounding the Tianhuo Mercenaries, would you watch with eager eyes but not attack? What would you do?"

Jin Zhong fell into contemplation: "He would definitely try to sow discord between the two sides, pushing them into war as soon as possible."

"Only in this way will his lies not be exposed, achieving his goal of muddying the waters."

Yang Xiao smiled again, this time with a hint of admiration.

"As expected of the Colonel, you're great at leading troops, and quite perceptive."

He looked at Jin Zhong, his eyes full of deep meaning.

"Then, if you were Yang Fei, how would you provoke our relationship with the Mercenary Alliance?"

Jin Zhong pondered for a while, eventually shaking his head.

"I don't know this. With this person's foresight and cunning, I can't predict his next move."

Yang Xiao snorted: "I can't predict this person's thoughts either."

"But within the next couple of days, he will definitely take big actions to exacerbate the conflict between us and the enemy so that the Tianhuo Mercenaries and the Mercenary Alliance will clash. You must keep a close watch on him."

At this point, Yang Xiao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"If anything happens, report immediately. Hmph, this time, no matter what, we must kill him and not let him escape again."

Jin Zhong nodded, saluting solemnly: "Yes."

At this moment, Yang Fei was discussing the next actions with the leaders of the Mercenary Alliance.

Yang Fei's plan had already been half completed by the six leaders.

Watching the subsequent development of this matter all follow the direction outlined by Yang Fei, the six leaders were already full of admiration for him.

This guy's foresight and ability to predict events turned him into the backbone for the six mercenary leaders.

Yang Fei's long legs were sprawled across the map-covered table.

Hugo obligingly lit a cigar for him, while Sha Jin found two long-legged beauties from somewhere to massage his shoulders.

The other four mercenary leaders, meanwhile, stood straight like elementary students, listening to Yang Fei's instructions.

After finishing the cigar, Yang Fei lazily put down his legs and sat up.

"I know what you're thinking. Why haven't the Tianhuo Mercenaries clashed with the other mercenaries yet? Isn't it fun to watch them tear each other apart?"

Sha Jin lowered his head awkwardly, while Hugo managed a dry laugh.

"Yeah, we're all holding our breath, hoping this horde of mercenaries rushes in to give the Tianhuo Mercenaries a lesson. Otherwise, how can we take advantage of the chaos?"

Yang Fei laughed heartily, pointing at Hugo, laughing to the point of breathlessness.

"You're a bad guy, too bad, afraid the world won't be chaotic enough, but I like it."

Hugo scratched his head, his smile becoming more natural.

"I am just anxious. If these guys lie in wait without attacking, and the information we released is confirmed to be false rumors, our plan will go down the drain."

With that, Hugo cautiously observed Yang Fei's expression.

"So, everyone hopes the gentleman can advise us on what to do next?"

Yang Fei chuckled.

"The two sides have already drawn their swords. All it takes is a spark to ignite this massive fire, and we are the ones to light it."

His words were as if they had not been spoken, as Hugo shook his head, still not understanding.

"So, the specific execution plan of Mr. is..."

Yang Fei sighed, saying lightly, "Isn't this easy?"

"Send people into both camps, use dirty tricks, blow up armories and burn supplies."

"If that doesn't work, impersonate Tianhuo Mercenaries to fire missiles into the opposite camp; if that doesn't get a reaction, I'll eat my hat!"

He burst out with a crude expletive, and Hugo and Sha Jin, as if having heard the Jade Emperor's decree, were enlightened and nodded repeatedly.

And the other four leaders, although terrified by Yang Fei's sinister plans, immediately broke out in cheers.

"Yes, why didn't I think of doing that?"

"Ingenious idea, Mr.'s wisdom is truly deep and immeasurable."

"No matter how I think, I couldn't come up with this. Mr.'s wisdom is truly impressive.
