My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 768 - 767 Only One Person (1/3)

The reason for establishing such a Three Black Corps is mainly to deal with the Asura Hall and the Dragon Tooth Squad.

The real power doesn't lie with him. Even if there really is a need to fight the Asura Hall and gather manpower, it's not his decision. Reports must be made to the superiors, and after the top leadership has reached an agreement with the Dai Li Country's Black Claw Faction and Aoli Country's Black Claw Faction, a consensus is formed.

Of course, Ebota has no authority to command; otherwise, he would truly be the one with the greatest power.

If such power truly existed, just in the Northern Federation alone, the five major families would fight fiercely over it, so how could such good fortune fall upon him?

The only reason he's in such a position is that it's a thankless, burdensome job.

If he could solve the Asura Hall or the Dragon Tooth Squad, he would accrue some merits, which would be beneficial to him.

However, if the task isn't completed, all responsibilities fall on him.

Like the past battle with the Dragon Tooth Squad, in the end, wasn't he the one who bore the brunt of all the failures in command and other issues?

Now with such a major incident in Lijia Continent, Ebota can already imagine the kind of punishment he will face.

Watching Gambino Basrode's indulgent lifestyle, Ebota feels genuine envy. But looking at such decadence, he feels no joy, only anxiety.

After a while, Gambino Basrode said, "I heard that the Three Black Corps we sent to Lijia Continent was wiped out?"

Ebota, with his head lowered, said in a deep voice, "We've contacted several escapees who are currently on their way back."

"Oh? Some survived?" Gambino Basrode asked in surprise, "How many people?"

"Only five," Ebota said solemnly.

"Five, huh!" Gambino Basrode thought for a moment and said, "That's not too bad!"

Surviving even one person from the hands of the Asura Hall is quite a feat, and having five is a stroke of immense luck.

"When they return, bring them to see me. I have some questions for them," Gambino Basrode said.

"Yes!"

"Besides!" Gambino Basrode said to Ebota, "How did this happen? Wasn't it said that the Asura King was in Flame Country?"

Upon hearing this, Ebota hurriedly responded, "The intelligence we received at the time indicated that, but the person transmitting the intelligence made a mistake. I've already captured him and will execute him tomorrow to serve as a warning to others!"

Gambino Basrode understood Ebota's implication, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Who?"

"Peg."

"Oh!" Gambino Basrode suddenly realized, "The one who was sent to Flame Country to gather intelligence and brought back video footage, which turned out to be nothing."

"That's him!"

"Then kill him; there's no use keeping him around," Gambino Basrode said flatly.

In fact, to Gambino Basrode, it was simply that Peg was relatively less valuable than Ebota. Peg had completely lost his value, but if Ebota was effectively utilized, his worth was still limitless.

"Yes!" Ebota was extremely excited, knowing he had narrowly escaped a crisis.

...

At night.

Ebota brought the five people who escaped from Lijia Continent to find Gambino Basrode.

These five individuals, even though nearly two days had passed since the incident, still had faces filled with lingering fear, and a foul odor lingered on them.

Perhaps because Ebota was too eager to complete the task Gambino Basrode assigned, he brought them here as soon as they returned.

Looking at these five individuals, Gambino Basrode's expression became serious, and he stood up, walked towards them, and said in a deep voice, "You've been through a lot."

The five quickly shook their heads, awkwardly insisting they hadn't.

Seeing their appearance, Gambino Basrode wanted to open his mouth to ask something, but after some thought, he said, "Take them for some rest, a hot bath, some food, and then we'll discuss the Lijia Continent situation."

"Yes!" Ebota nodded, leading the two away.

Soon after, Ebota returned and said, "They've been taken over."

Gambino Basrode asked, "Did you learn anything on the way?"

Ebota shook his head. "These individuals seemed very panicked, only saying they escaped, and nothing else was learned."

Gambino Basrode nodded. "Then let's wait; let them rest first."

Ebota nodded.

The two sat in the room and began to wait.

The wait extended to two hours, wherein neither spoke a word, each lost in their thoughts.

Soon, the five individuals were brought over.

They had a relaxing hot bath, enjoyed a massage, and vented as needed, stabilizing emotionally a lot more.

Looking at them, Gambino Basrode gestured for them to sit down. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Let me hear it; what exactly happened in Lijia Continent," Gambino Basrode said calmly.

Hearing the question, fear flashed in the eyes of the five individuals.

Two even began trembling uncontrollably, and one was so frightened he cried!

Seeing this scene, Gambino Basrode and Ebota's expressions turned peculiar, and a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.

The five before them were well-known to them, all Northern Federation soldiers who had completed numerous international missions, certainly not cowardly individuals.

Their current display was truly unsettling.

Gambino Basrode thought for a moment and said, "Children, you are now safe. You're in the Northern Federation, and no one dares to make a move here. Plus, you're under the protection of the Gambino Clan. Believe me, you are absolutely safe here, just like when you were resting earlier, okay? Rest assured, you are absolutely safe here!"

Hearing this, the five gradually calmed down.

One said, "It was truly terrifying; you can't imagine what happened there."

"I can't even bear to think of it... the bodies... all bodies, and we didn't even have a chance to resist."

"Our leader was the first to be killed. It felt like a cat playing with a mouse, with absolute confidence, easily able to kill but deliberately toying, plunging you into extreme fear!"

Gambino Basrode and Ebota listened to their descriptions and couldn't help but have their hearts slowly race, becoming tense.

Gambino Basrode thought and asked, "Who exactly did it?"

One of them looked at Gambino Basrode and said solemnly, "Just one person! It's the Asura King! We were over a thousand people, and the Asura King, with just five others, annihilated all of us!"

Hearing this, both of them couldn't help but widen their eyes, like their hearts were suddenly gripped tightly.
