Chapter 1257 - Banned Emperor Terrorists

"That Buzz! I knew that not to trust any outsiders but HE would not give a damn about it!" Shang Xia said as she stared at the relic. Even in her current demeanour, staring into the relic gave her some sort of inner peace within it.

Inner peace knowing that she possessed one of the strongest relics in the world and has the ability to revive the Banned Emperor. But with all her plans in shambles, she was considering running away with the relic so as to salvage something from this current messed up operation.

She had no idea that there was someone that was capable of destroying the barrier that was taught by the inner circle of the Banned Emperor, people who she knew would have the knowledge to end the world in an instant if they wished to, if they have sufficient resources. And also one which she directly reports to with regards to the result of this operation. Yet, this insufferable member of the Inner Circle also planned the entirety of this current operation and even recruited non-believers for the cause just because he had money to spend.

It was as if he did not care about the bodies being thrown into the current operation just to accomplish a certain goal. Yet, that goal remained unclear and Shang Xia could only deduce that he wanted to personally have the accomplishment of reviving the Banned Emperor all by himself.

But to teach an outsider the huge dimensional instance trick and providing those banned charms to their devout believers was something that Shang Xia could not stomach but grudgingly follow. From the updates from her trusty follower, Jack and with her acute sense of chi, she understood that almost everything had been lost.

Even as she wanted to take revenge on the Minister of Defence He Fei, it would be a little dangerous to do so despite the opportunity presented to her like a ripe grilled chicken waiting to be eaten. Though she had a few more undercover within the group of bodyguards, they continued to remain committed to their role until Shang Xia took action for it. But if the State Security decides to dig any further, their moles would eventually be found and their years of effort in their supposed undercover job would be for nought.

"Lady Boss, I too believe it's now or never. After all, that He Fei had done quite a number to not only your husband but our faction as well. You will never get the chance like this." Jack said through the intercoms while continuously scrambling to change the encryption so as to not let the police catch them. While they may have surrounded the Convention Building with cops, acting as if they were using brute force to storm the place, they also have a support team working nearby to manage the communications and counter intelligence. Else, it would not be so coordinated in sweeping the Convention building and evacuating the civilians from the place.

"If our moles get caught through the next few months, we will never be able to enact the same operation ever again." Jack too had a vendetta against the defence minister since like Shang Xia, his partner had been innocently accused and imprisoned for multiple wrongdoings which she never committed. Because of that, he had joined the Banned Emperor as a way to get back against the current authorities and hoped that proper justice could be melded.

But of course, justice is subjective to everyone and the Banned Emperor's way of doing things is not how the majority would look kindly upon. All they knew was to create suffering for others, just to show that they could do the same back at the people currently in power. And if the relic could summon back the primal spirit of revenge, the Banned Emperor, who signified the epitome of vengeance due to the betrayal of the twelve clans, then perhaps, China would not only have a new ruler but all the wrong doings the faction had taken could be sorted out. (And perhaps, rewarded for their allegiance to the revived Banned Emperor.)

Still, the thought of He Fei being so near yet so far had clouded Shang Xia of her judgement. With everything that could have gone wrong had gone wrong with the operation, Shang Xia and Jack felt that the only way to amend the wrong doings was to at least eliminate He Fei. A killing blow to the Minister of Defence would not only increase their reputation as a terrorist organisation but also increase the confidence of their investors who were supporting them in the shadows. An assassination result like this would also benefit the minor opposition which was vital showering money to their organisation.

"Let's do it. We still have Lee, Cheng and the rest as undercover. One quick finishing blow and we escape." Shang Xia told Jack to make sure there was a window of opportunity for them to get out of the impending doom.

"Queen, do not worry. We will make sure that you survive the ordeal." Lee said with Cheng nodding their head, indicating that they would do what it takes, even sacrificing their lives for the greater good of the organisation they believed in.

"That's reassuring to hear," Queen said as she placed the relic back into inventory. Even if she did not care for the lives of her colleagues, Shang Xia had to pretend to do so. After all, it was discourteous to dismiss one's attempt to risk their life for theirs. All she was to know was that she was able to throw bodies without them questioning her when the push came to shove.

With that dilemma out of the way, Shang Xia immediately spruced her plan into action and that was to perform a direct assault against the entourage before slipping away from the chaos.

"I will not allow you to catch me. Dragon Lady." Shang Xia still remembers the utter defeat she had when duelling against Ryuli.. "I make sure to let you suffer a catastrophic failure which would put a stain on your spotless career."
