"Flame Dragon Kingdom is known as the forbidden ground of sect powers, and this title is because of the Hellfire Mercenary Corp."

Mu Lisi narrated, "Fifty years ago, the Hellfire Mercenary Corp had tried to stir up trouble in Flame Dragon Kingdom. At that time, Flame Dragon Kingdom was not yet called a forbidden ground."

"But it was in that incident that the Hellfire, already known as a god-level mercenary corp, suffered heavy losses in Flame Dragon Kingdom. It is said that only a few people managed to escape, and the rest all perished in Flame Dragon. It was because of that battle that Flame Dragon was listed as the forbidden ground of sect powers, and since then, the Hellfire Mercenary Corp faded from public view!"

"That being said... Hellfire already had enmity with our Flame Dragon, and Dark Church wants to collaborate with them... This makes sense now! Building churches around the world is to gauge your attitudes and expand followers, while disrupting our Flame Dragon is to curry favor with Hellfire and to showcase the capabilities of the Dark Church!"

A look of realization flashed through Jiang Chen's eyes, followed by a spark of inspiration in his mind.

"It must be them! I recall Burst Flame's Kuang Shi once telling me that the Dark Night Angel Mercenary Corp had almost annihilated the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corp in a big battle years ago, but then the two sides suddenly ceased fire!"

Jiang Chen asserted confidently:

"I was somewhat puzzled at the time, but thinking about it now, it must have been the Hellfire Mercenary Corp that intervened. Fallen Angels is a major arm of the Gene Organization. When Dark Night Angels were about to wipe them out, the Gene Organization, not wanting to reveal themselves, sought the intervention of the Dark Church's Hellfire."

"According to what you say, Hellfire is the only god-level mercenary corp in the world. Although they suffered heavy losses back then, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. With their status, it would have been a mere word for them to mediate the battle between Dark Night Angel and Fallen Angels!"

"So, does that mean we have another enemy in Hellfire Mercenary Corp?!" Xi'er looked distressed.

"Mr. Jiang, this is just your conjecture, although it makes sense, but..." Ha'er spoke reluctantly, his brow tightly furrowed.

"I'll find out with a call!" said Jiang Chen as he took out his phone and shook it, dialing the Dark Night Queen's number.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." The call connected quickly, carrying the respectful voice of the Dark Night Queen.

Jiang Chen spoke gravely, "You Ye, about that battle between your Dark Night Angels and the Fallen Angels, why did it suddenly stop?"

"Because the god-level Hellfire Mercenary Corp intervened, we had no choice but to cease our attacks on the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corp!" the Dark Night Queen answered without hesitation.

"Okay, I understand now," said Jiang Chen with a heavy tone, pausing to think before speaking softly, "Can you contact the Hellfire Mercenary Corp?"

"When Hellfire mediated back then, they left me a contact method. Do you need me to contact them?"

"No!" Jiang Chen promptly objected, "Don't contact them yet. Keep the contact method, it might be useful later!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the call, Jiang Chen looked solemnly at Ha'er and others, nodding emphatically, "It was Hellfire that intervened!"

"This..." Ha'er and others trembled fiercely in their hearts. Hellfire Mercenary Corp, the only god-level mercenary corp on Earth, one of the Six Overlord Forces, an entity that nobody can underestimate!

"We must hurry up!" Mu Lisi said in a grave voice.

"Right, we need to deal with Dark Church, Gene Organization, and Soul Devour Group soon; otherwise, once they ally with Hellfire, then..." Ha'er's face turned exceedingly grim.

"Mr. Jiang, since Ya Si approached you, they must have told you about the transportation channels, right?" Xi'er looked up at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded and then shook his head, "Ya Si did tell me some channels, but didn't specify which one to use, and we cannot act during the transportation; otherwise, it would directly expose me!"

"This... What should we do then?" Ha'er asked, frowning.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "I have a plan, it goes like this..."

Jiang Chen quietly shared his plan.

"Great! This plan is excellent! This way, we can uproot the Bu Langshi family and those remnants all at once!" Ha'er was overjoyed after hearing Jiang Chen's plan.

"Yes, this plan is good!" Xi'er nodded in agreement.

Fa'erxi and Bu Langshi both nodded with smiles on their faces.

Mu Lisi softly exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being… truly the legendary Mr. Jiang, not only is his strength formidable, but he is also meticulous and strategic! Good thing we aren't enemies!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and softly said, "Then I'll make the arrangements!"

"Okay, just contact us when you need us to take action!" Ha'er nodded.

"I will contact you!" Jiang Chen did not stand on ceremony with them since dealing with the Dark Church was essentially their holy duty, and he was just offering help.

In front of Ha'er and the others, Jiang Chen made a phone call, "Hello, Jing Yi, I'm sending you a few overseas trade routes, please arrange for someone to check them out. No need for detailed scrutiny, just a careful surface check, but make sure it's fast. Try to finish the inspection within two days!"

"Okay!" Ye Jingyi agreed without asking questions, her trust in Jiang Chen was absolute.

After sending Ye Jingyi the trade routes provided by Ya Si, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and sent out another copy.

After sending the second copy, Jiang Chen made another phone call.

"Hello, Young Jiang, how are you enjoying Ross City?" came Elder Qing's hearty voice through the phone.

"Elder Qing, I've sent you a few overseas trade routes. Deploy some trustworthy people to secretly inspect them. Make sure their strength is not below Innate, I suspect these routes might be under surveillance!" Jiang Chen didn't engage in small talk and cut straight to the chase with Elder Qing.

"Overseas trade routes? Why investigate those? Smuggling isn't our responsibility, right?" Elder Qing sounded confused.

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, "These routes are the Dark Church's routes. If there is smuggling, it's smuggling of the Dark Church's people into the Flame Dragon Kingdom. Do you really think that doesn't fall under your jurisdiction?"

"The Dark Church's trade routes?!" A shocked exclamation came from the phone, followed by a series of praise, "You young lad are quite something, managing to get hold of the Dark Church's trade routes! Awesome! I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away!"

"Ah! Jing Yi will also be sending someone to investigate. Knowing her character, she's likely to go inspect it herself. Make sure your men protect her!" Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something and urged with urgency.

"Ah? Ye Jingyi, that lass, is also checking? Then, then I better go myself, just in case something happens to her over this, and you, Young Jiang, would hold me responsible!" Elder Qing was alarmed and muttered helplessly.

"Haha! Then I'll trouble you, Elder Qing!"

Jiang Chen said, laughing lightly. Now that Elder Qing was personally involved, he felt relieved about Ye Jingyi's safety. This was also a precaution to prevent the Dark Church's people from harboring any malevolent ideas.
