Chapter 233: Juggling Three Parties
Ace and King of Spades exchanged glances, a spark of excitement in their eyes.
They weren't just relieved that assassinating Yan Changshou had become easier; they were thrilled by the realization that Fang Xiu genuinely valued them.
The fact that he was willing to personally intervene to smooth the path for their mission showed how highly he regarded their abilities.
With this newfound confidence, the two were ready to go to any lengths for Fang Xiu.
"Yes, sir, we won't let you down!" they both responded eagerly, their voices brimming with determination.
"Hmm," Fang Xiu acknowledged with a cold nod. Then he told them something about Wen Yang before dismissing them.
"You may go now."
"Yes, sir!" they replied, then vanished into the shadows without another word.
Fang Xiu didn't bother asking how they planned to impersonate Wen Yang. He figured that the Pokers, such a powerful organization, could easily handle something as basic as a disguise.
Given that they had already infiltrated the headquarters unnoticed and prepped for tomorrow's attack, altering their appearance should be well within their capabilities.
The real reason Fang Xiu had summoned the Ace and King of Spades wasn't just to discuss Wen Yang—it was to set them on the trail of Yan Changshou's loyalists.
As one of the five captains, Yan Changshou had many subordinates who needed to be dealt with, and Fang Xiu intended to use the Ace and King of Spades to take care of them.
Yan Changshou himself wasn't their main target; that would be the headquarters' responsibility.
Xiao Chuxia blinked, caught off guard. "You want me to lie to you?"
"No, I'm going to take you to lie to someone else."
"Someone else? At this hour? Who could possibly—"
"That's not for you to worry about. What you need to do now is sleep."
Xiao Chuxia was more confused than ever. "Sleep? What are you planning?"
"I'm going to sleep too," Fang Xiu replied, his voice steady.
Xiao Chuxia's eyes widened in shock. "You want to sleep with me? No way—"
Before she could finish her protest, Fang Xiu knocked her out with a swift chop to the neck.
Fang Xiu really didn't have the patience to argue with Xiao Chuxia. After knocking her out, he closed his eyes, diving straight into her dream.
His goal was simple but ambitious: he wanted to test the potential of lying within a dream.
By merging his ability with Xiao Chuxia's unique talent, he was conducting an experiment that, if successful, could unlock tremendous possibilities.
The ability to manipulate reality through dreams, coupled with the power of deception, could be a game-changer, opening doors to strategies and outcomes that were previously unimaginable.
Fang Xiu understood the stakes. If this worked, the combination of their powers could become an invaluable asset, not just for the upcoming confrontation but for any challenge that lay ahead.
