King's Awakening-Chapter 455 - : Who is the Mantis? Who is the Yellow Bird?
Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Who is the Mantis? Who is the Yellow Bird?
In Capital City, within a top-tier office building at Capital City’s CBD, Yama was as per usual, sat with his computer open, conducting a video call with one of his subordinates.
However, unlike most times, there was only one participant in this video call.
This person’s code name was Mouse King, and true to his name, he had a pointy-face with a sunken chin.
His official identity was a programmer for a tech company, but in reality, he was a crucial source of information for the Deathz organization.
The entire network system of the Deathz organization was developed by him. Its security was extremely tight, which had been a critical reason that the Deathz hadn’t been wiped out by members of the War Department over all these years.
Mouse King’s identity was highly secretive; he was accountable only to Yama, and was one of the few people who could meet Yama face-to-face.
He rarely participated in regular meetings.
It could be said that he was one of Yama’s trump cards, one not easily revealed.
“Little Mouse, how’s it going? How did you manage the task I assigned you?” Yama, wearing a mask and holding a goblet in one hand and a cigar in the other, asked leisurely.
Upon hearing those words, Mouse King at the other end of the video looked cautiously around his surroundings and then put on a smile.
However, at this moment, Mouse King’s smile was particularly sly, even somewhat lewd, giving people a strong sense of discomfort. It was so hideous that it was more unbearable than crying.
Nevertheless, Yama paid no attention to these details.
In the Deathz organization, he had people from all walks of life. Appearance and identity were just an external facade to them.
After his smile, Mouse King took a pleased expression and said, “Boss, you can rest assured when I’m on the job. Right now, the communication networks of all the major families in Capital City are under my control.
Just as you expected, some wealthy families were playing both sides. They seem to obey us on the surface, but behind our backs, they’re constantly up to something.
Just a few hours ago, I intercepted a call from Andrea Jones, the head of the Jones family in the Imperial Capital. Boss, guess who she called?”
Oh?
Upon hearing this, Yama showed an interested expression and immediately asked, “The Jones Family could only contact the Northern Territory Command. Could it be anyone else?”
Upon hearing that, Mouse King nodded, then immediately turned solemn and said seriously, “She contacted the commander of the White War Department, Army Master White.”
What!?
The initially indifferent Yama sat up straight when he heard this news. Even the red wine in his goblet spilled all over the floor, making him appear somewhat flustered.
“How could she have contact with Army Master White!? Did you hear the content of their conversation!?” The mention of Army Master White made Yama incredibly nervous.
He was well aware that Army Master White was the most difficult adversary the Deathz organization had encountered so far and was considered by him to be his lifelong nemesis.
Unfortunately, Army Master White had disappeared for a whole year.
It was a difficult wait for her reappearance, but no one knew her whereabouts.
Yama dreamed of having an honest competition with Army Master White, to let the world know that there was such a strong contender as him in the Dragon Realm.
He wasn’t content being forever in the shadows, unseen.
If he could defeat Army Master White, then he could prove that he, Yama, was stronger than her and that he was the strongest one in the current Dragon Realm.
Unexpectedly, news about Army Master White had finally arrived. How could Yama not be excited?
Hearing Yama’s inquiries, Mouse King didn’t delay and directly answered, “Initially, I had no idea that Andrea Jones was contacting Army Master White.
I was simply monitoring the actions of the major families as usual when I suddenly discovered that Andrea Jones was secretly having someone change her mobile phone number. Despite her efforts to hide it, she had no idea that I had hacked into the Jones family’s surveillance system long ago. I’m aware of her every move.
As soon as I found out that she had acquired a new number, I guessed that she was up to something. So, I directly tampered with the communication system around the Jones residence and intercepted the entire conversation.”
At this point, Mouse King’s expression became even more serious: “What Andrea Jones was contacting was someone named White Mitchell. At first, I didn’t care much until I heard their conversation.
White Mitchell is Army Master White. White proposed a condition to Andrea Jones asking her family to assist him. He wants to employ the Jones family’s experts. My guess is that he wants to impersonate our Deathz organization and extort money from the other major families.
After all, everyone at the White War Department also knows that while they are looking for us, we too are watching their movements. If they make any sudden moves, we will definitely know it. Hence, they plan to approach the major families in Capital City to try and locate us.”
What!?
White Mitchell is Army Master White!?
Hearing this news, Yama completely ignored the rest of Mouse King’s words. His expression turned bewilderingly complex: “No wonder Pluto and Greedy Wolf were unsuccessful. So White Mitchell is Army Master White!
Hehe…it’s like finding something effortlessly after looking for it everywhere!
Army Master White had been hiding right under our noses all along. This makes things a lot easier!”
A playfulness gradually surfaced on Yama’s face, as if he was a cat playing with a mouse.
“Boss, what should we do next?” Mouse King asked seriously.
Yama sneered upon hearing this, then immediately said, “Since White Mitchell is already prepared, then we’ll act as if we know nothing. Let everyone keep a close eye on the Jones family, but remember, don’t act rashly.
White Mitchell wants to use the Jones family to confront our Deathz organization. I’ll let him fall flat on his face this time!
I’m curious to see how Lord Military Master will face the world once we’ve taken care of all the Jones family’s experts!”
At this point, the grin on Yama’s face became more sinister.
“Army Master White, you want to play a game of mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind with me? But, you overestimate your abilities. You’re not clear who’s the mantis and who’s the oriole,” Yama sneered. Amidst his laughter, there was a mocking taste, as if he had already seen the scene of White Mitchell being defeated.
After uttering these words, Yama raised his goblet and drank up the remaining wine in one gulp. “Army Master White, remember this well, my name is Yama! I am the top dog of the Dragon Realm! I will let everyone see clearly that you, the so-called Army Master, are nothing but a hollow title!”
