Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315
After finishing giving directions, Du You suddenly remembered something, "Right, do you have any news about the matter I asked you to look into last time?" Previously, he wasn’t strong enough, but now things were different.
Li Minglu immediately replied, "We have thoroughly investigated the matter concerning the Dark Night Mercenary Group. This mercenary group is engaged in all sorts of illegal activities under the radar, and frankly, many people have become fed up with them. There are quite a few who hold grudges against them, but their operations are quite secretive, and they also have quite a few skilled fighters, with a publicly known sixth-tier among them."
"Actually, our secret investigation suggests they may still be hiding another sixth-tier, but even so, there wouldn’t be more than three in total; otherwise, their influence wouldn’t be so limited."
Although the Dark Night Mercenary Group kept a low profile publicly, they were still quite arrogant behind the scenes, which wouldn’t be possible if they hadn’t fostered such individuals.
Initially, because of Gan Mu, influenced by others to confront him and even resorting to fatal measures directly, Du You wanted revenge. His pursuit of revenge was only suppressed later due to the enhancement of his own reputation and strength.
As a result, those guys from his hometown were still targeting him, even though he was cooperating with the new city lord, they kept backing his enemies secretly, essentially just to give him trouble.
Originally when he encountered Gan Mu in the Other World, he had eliminated that person. But that person who used to suppress him with their power, Qiu Yu, was still around.
It was only because he didn’t want to offend the Dark Night Mercenary Group that Du You had been enduring all this while.
People say that revenge is a dish best served cold, and counting the years, including those in the Other World and this world, it had already been over a decade. Now that he had the power, how could he not take his revenge?
"So, is Qiu Yu still around?"
"We’ve been keeping an eye on him this whole time, and he has been around lately; we can find him if we go now."
Li Minglu knew what sort of man his boss was, and he guessed somewhat what he intended to do. But the Dark Night Mercenary Group, they really weren’t afraid of them now.
Perhaps in terms of numbers and influence they couldn’t match the opponent, since the other side had been developing for many years.
But their own upper-class connections were much better, thanks to their good reputation and ties with Capital University.
Speaking of higher tiers within the armed forces, with so many high-tier territories to bolster them, they were even stronger than the Dark Night Mercenary Group. If push came to shove, they would simply unleash a few sixth-tier Undead Scrolls, as they also had sixth-tier fighters on their side.
In terms of masters, he and the two sisters were all sixth-tier, only more and not fewer than them. Even if they had sixth-tier friends, in Du You’s situation, he really wasn’t scared. Since his strength had already surpassed theirs, why not seek revenge?
No, this wasn’t just revenge anymore, this was taking a breath of fresh air. Being targeted all the time, even a fly could be annoying. He had endured for so many years, no need to continue enduring.
"Good, don’t mention our return to anyone yet. I’ll make a trip out. Yucha, Yu Shi, follow me."
At Du You’s command, the two sisters immediately followed, while Li Minglu shook his head and went back to his territory. As for who was going to be unfortunate, that had nothing to do with him. This was how major forces operated, respecting strength above all. Since they had offended others and let others surpass them in strength, their misfortune was well-deserved.
Du You and the two sisters moved swiftly and soon reached the location of the Dark Night Mercenary Group’s branch, which was right at the edge of the Capital, not too far into or out of the city area.
"This is a good spot, we can fight here without worrying about harming the innocent."
Du You’s expression was ice-cold as he and the sisters boldly walked over.
"Who are you people, do you know where this is? Get lost immediately," the gatekeeper said arrogantly.
"Hold on, these two young ladies aren’t bad, let’s keep them for our brothers to enjoy," another sneered.
Du You’s gaze remained icy, but faster than him were two arrows. Each sister fired an arrow, killing both gatekeepers. One of the bodies quickly split open, and numerous insects flew out. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
"These insects can’t be used for gu again, they only cause poisoning, and their toxicity isn’t a big threat even to sixth-tier fighters, let alone enough to kill fifth-tier ones, truly not worth the value of a sixth-tier weapon," Lin Yucha said discontentedly.
Once they began to fight, the people inside the camp who witnessed this scene became panicked.
"It’s an attack, an attack! Call people quickly!" Atop an observation tower, the guard shouted loudly while ringing the alarm bell_Seconds later, the entire camp was in uproar.
No wonder he was so alarmed; the two gatekeepers were third-tier, strong individuals. Even if they were careless, being instantly taken down was incredible. Who knew what kind of people were storming their camp? If they were fourth-tier, it was still manageable, but if they were fifth-tier, it would not be easy to capture them.
After ringing the alarm bell, the guy on the observation tower immediately lay down and pretended to be dead; he certainly didn’t want to die for real.
Du You watched coldly, with no intention of joining the fray. Today, he was here only to find one person, and he didn’t care about the others. Plus, he needed some people to bear witness, otherwise, how could he vent his frustration?
He wanted the Dark Night Mercenary Group to know it was him and still not daring to do anything about it. Only such an outcome would relieve him of the frustrations he had bottled up for years; otherwise, what was the point of his visit?
Qiu Yu was not the one who had directly attacked him initially; although Du You was annoyed, he didn’t regard him as an enemy.
Really, the level of hatred wasn’t enough, and compared to his current strength, the other’s was far too inferior.
The alarm was sounded. Qiu Yu, who was in the midst of enjoying himself, pushed aside the beauty beside him, his face looking extremely ugly. "Who the hell is it, daring to attack the Dark Night Mercenary Group’s base ? They’re really courting death. All of you, get up; let’s go and see."
Disturbed from his pleasure, Qiu Yu and other high-ranking members of the mercenary group were in a terrible mood. Regardless of who had disturbed them this time, they were determined to make them suffer.
Du You still stood at the entrance; in fact, with Du You’s Spiritual Perception range, he had already sensed where Qiu Yu was. After all these years, Du You clearly remembered what the other’s aura felt like.
"Good, looks guy hasn’t run off," Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly, pleased. If this guy had run off to another world, chasing him would have been troublesome. But under his surveillance, opening the world coordinates would not be easy. The moment the other made a move, Lin Yucha would capture him without even needing his intervention.
