Chapter 6: Ambush of Traitors

Ryan immediately went into his room and locked the door without saying anything. What he needed now was a calm atmosphere.

The energy inside him was churning. If he didn't calm it right away, things would get ugly.

Without his inner strength, the mysterious power within his body would explode and take over him. Usually with the help of potion X and his inner power he could suppress it. But to save Irina beforehand, Ryan used the remaining X potion a little and used some of his internal power to smooth the healing process. If his current body condition continued like this, he might not last long.

He didn't know why he had this mysterious power in his body. All he knew was that when this mysterious power completely took over his body, he would most likely die. So when he was fighting, he would not be fighting as hard because he had to spare his strength to control this mysterious power.

He had used his resources and time to develop potion X. However, potion X was only a short term solution. He still hadn't found a real solution.

For two hours, he felt that his strength had recovered a little and he began to calm down again. At least now he wouldn't vomit blood and could rest in peace.

"Calm down, this is nothing. This happened because I was off guard and I was low on potion X. I think I have to ask Yasmin to send it faster. " After calming himself down, he immediately opened the computer and contacted Yasmin.

Ryan originally didn't want to rely on this X concoction. When he returned to Crimea, he only brought 3 bottles and he was thrifty in drinking them. At a time when that mysterious power flared up, he would hold back before finally drinking the potion. After saving Irina's life, his supplies were completely depleted.

Tring

Ryan's video chat had been received by Yasmin but Ryan's computer screen remained black without Yasmin's figure. Did Yasmin leave her computer on?

After 1-2 hours of waiting, Yasmin finally appeared. However, Yasmin's appearance was very disheveled and looked covered in wounds.

"Yasmin!! What is wrong? Are you okay?"

Hearing the familiar voice she heard made Yasmin shed tears. Her face that initially looked serious immediately turned into a mess, "Sir, I'm sorry. Our base has been destroyed and… "

"WHAT?" Before Yasmin could explain, Ryan's jolt completely numbed Yasmin's ears and she lowered her head in tears.

Headquarters destroyed? How could Ryan's secret base, which was heavily guarded, be destroyed? Not to sound arrogant, but his secret base could not even be penetrated by the elite forces of any country. Did this mean the armies of several nations were united against him?

"How about potion X? Is potion X safe?"

Apart from the safety of his subordinates, the X potion was the most important thing he was worried about. This potion cultivation site was even tighter.

"Sorry sir, their target is potion X. Most of the base is untouched. They only targeted where potion X was. Both the medicinal field, the researchers and all the information regarding potion X have been destroyed without any remains." Yasmin said all these things with a trembling body and heavy sobs. She knew that this potion meant a lot to her master. Especially after glancing at Ryan's raging face, Yasmin was really ready to die.

No living being could face the anger of Nergal.

"Who?" Ryan unconsciously slapped the table hard, "Which bastard dares to do all this?"

Ryan tried to stifle his overflowing anger and his recovering energy emitted a powerful killing aura.

"He... The Eclipse." Yasmin seemed hesitant to say the name.

"The Eclipse? Yasmin do you think I'm a runny kid or maybe you don't know who did it? How could he possibly do all these things considering his only power? Even if he was a traitor, what could that loser do? I have entrusted the headquarters to you and The Tiger. The Tiger's martial power was equivalent to even greater than that of The Eclipse. How could he possibly do all this?" Ryan demanded an explanation.

After Ryan finished speaking, Yasmin was silent and her body trembled. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Seeing Yasmin who was nervous and looked scared, Ryan had his own guess. He couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Could it be that the tiger is also involved? That boy has always submitted to me, who would have thought that someone could make himself so brave and betray me?" Ryan asked.

Yasmin who heard Ryan's threat immediately knelt down and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry sir. I got to trouble the master and moreover I couldn't stop The Tiger. I will solve my husband's problem in my own way. When all of this is over, I will return every dollar!" Yasmin answered.

Honestly, Yasmin could see no way out for herself but to die. Her husband betrayed her, X's potion was destroyed without remaining and moreover all this happened under her responsibility. Given Ryan's temper, there was only death.

Seeing Yasmin who was very sorry, Ryan could not bear to blame it all on Yasmin. He himself knew that Yasmin was the most trusted person on earth.

Restraining himself from getting angry, Ryan tried to smile at Yasmin, "Yasmin, get up. The important thing is you are safe and it's okay. Everything has happened and we must look to the future. I ask you to help rebuild the base in a new place and hurry up to make potion X in one month. As for The Eclipse and The Tiger, leave them to me. Focus on rebuilding our base."

After Yasmin thanked him, Ryan immediately turned off his computer and opened his bedroom's window. While breathing in the cold night air, he saw a shadow moving in the middle of the night.

"Hmmm .. so fast. It seemed the enemy was acting quickly and efficiently this time. These attacks have been prepared a long time ago. "

It was dark. The lights of every house have started to light up. The people were getting sleepy and resting in their own rooms. Irina was not spared from this. Today he felt even more tired than usual. It could be said that these few days were very tiring days in his life.

But from behind all this silent darkness, a human figure could be seen standing still on a roof. He was not a underwear thief who couldn't get off, he was none other than Ryan. Ryan looked like a lonely wolf who watched over his territory. After a while, he dashed off and away from Irina's residence.

Behind him, from behind the shadows too, several figures began to slowly and silently approach him. But after a while, Ryan suddenly stopped and said, "Come out, I know you've been following me." Ryan moved at lightning speed, moving 1 km in just a minute. He had lured them into a quiet place.

After a while, several figures in black came out from the shadows.

Seeing their appearance, Ryan said, "You ... Italian Mafia?"

The people in black looked at each other. Maybe they didn't think that in one glance, their identities would just be exposed.

With a nod of their head from their leader, the assassins in black clothes immediately took out their weapons and charged at Ryan.

For professional assassins, it was only the success of their mission that mattered. They didn't care whether their identity was revealed or their arrival exposed. Any mistake would be forgiven if their main mission was successful. Moreover, there was an X factor that could hinder their mission. Third parties' involvement or out-of-town mission, for example.

Just because Ryan managed to find out their main identity, it didn't make them hesitate to complete their mission.

Ryan saw their formation and speed, and immediately analyzed the enemy's combat strength. They were definitely not just anyone. He faced the Italian Mafia which was led by 12 heads of families as his opponent this time. It was said that half of Italy had fallen to their hands, both in the political and legal ranks. Since they had bothered to send their assassins to Crimea, of course they were not sent to kill a random person. They were armored to the teeth with swords, knives and metal sticks. All of these weapons emitted a cold sheen and murderous aura.

In a blink of an eye, a shadow crossed its way in front of Ryan. The tip of its sword was pointed at his stomach. Even if the person standing in Ryan's position were a trained soldier, he might've prayed and apologized for his sins to the Almighty right off the bat.

The opponent's first strike had been launched!
