864: Chapter 853: Huaxia’s Mysterious Existence 864: Chapter 853: Huaxia’s Mysterious Existence There was an incident involving the Night Five squad, an unexpected situation that neither the squad nor Teng Yun Geshang had foreseen.
After returning, Fei Peilie immediately approached Teng Yun Geshang, cautiously asking about what exactly had transpired.
Teng Yun Geshang’s expression was extremely grim.
His face was dark, his eyes radiating cold light, like a predatory beast on the brink of madness.
Seeing Teng Yun Geshang in such a state was very rare.
Fei Peilie, after spending considerable time at his side, could immediately tell that Teng Yun Geshang was furious—and not just an ordinary kind of anger.
“Zhonghai… hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
I thought Ning Fan was the strongest combatant here, but I didn’t expect someone like this…”
Teng Yun Geshang muttered, a flicker of intrigue appearing in his eyes.
Fei Peilie, still baffled by the situation, couldn’t make any sense of it.
All he knew was that something had gone wrong with the Night Five squad, leaving them unable to proceed with their plans against Ning Fan.
But what had truly happened remained a mystery to him.
Just as Fei Peilie was about to ask for more details, an injured member of the Night Five squad entered.
Without a trace of emotion, he walked up to Teng Yun Geshang, bent over respectfully, and said, “Master Teng Yun Geshang, the situation has already been reported to Master Konstantin.
Regarding that individual, we will take full responsibility for locating him, and Gerwood’s body has already been sent back to headquarters.”
Embedded in those calm words were layers of information, and the revelation that shocked Fei Peilie the most was that Gerwood was dead?!
The Night Five member mentioned that Gerwood’s body had been transported back, and Fei Peilie didn’t think it was a joke.
Gerwood must really have died.
Just last night, Gerwood had been alive and well, yet within only a day, how could he just be gone?
It was deeply puzzling.
What exactly had happened?
Moreover, the Night Five member was injured, which was equally shocking to Fei Peilie.
For such an elite squad, who could have gone after them?
And whoever targeted them was surely still alive.
That individual must be terrifyingly powerful.
To cause trouble for the Night Five squad was not something just anyone could accomplish.
It was worth noting, however, that the Night Five member only mentioned Gerwood’s death.
There had been no mention of casualties among the squad members, meaning they were likely injured but not killed.
Still, even just thinking about the fact that the squad was injured was enough to make Fei Peilie gasp in disbelief.
What kind of enemy had they encountered?
“You may go now.
Take good care of your wounds…”
Teng Yun Geshang waved his hand and rubbed his temples with some frustration.
There was a hint of regret in his expression.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have contacted that Middle Eastern financier.
And now, look at the mess.
In his original plan, the Night Five squad would soon return, leaving the matter of the attacker against the squad unresolved for the time being.
If he hadn’t reached out to that financier, the Night Five squad could have remained in Zhonghai, and the person who assaulted them could have been found.
Looking back, his actions seemed as if he had shot himself in the foot.
It was laughable.
Even Teng Yun Geshang couldn’t help but chuckle, though his laughter carried a sinister chill that made one’s skin crawl.
“Master Teng Yun Geshang, is it true that Gerwood is dead?”
Once the Night Five member had gone, Fei Peilie carefully asked.
Teng Yun Geshang looked at him impatiently.
“What, are you happy now?
Your old rival Gerwood is dead!”
“How could I be?
I just think the whole thing is so sudden…”
Indeed, it was.
The events were abrupt and completely unexpected.
Someone who had always been with the Night Five squad had suddenly died—an unimaginable occurrence.
Not only Gerwood, but even members of the Night Five squad had been injured.
If he hadn’t heard it directly, Fei Peilie would have thought the world was playing a cruel joke on him.
In Fei Peilie’s understanding, aside from the terrifying abilities of Teng Yun Geshang and Konstantin, there was no one who could go up against the Night Five squad.
But what happened this time was a harsh reality check—a slap in the face—that proved Night Five was not invincible.
“I didn’t expect this either.
Huaxia has always been a land of mysteries.
The arrival of Night Five squad must have triggered some nerves…”
Teng Yun Geshang analyzed the situation.
To encounter something like this in Huaxia wasn’t entirely surprising in his opinion.
Huaxia is an ancient civilization, welcoming to those with good intentions but highly resistant to those harboring malice.
Especially notorious squads like Night Five,
when they arrived in Zhonghai, they were most likely noticed by a rival group similar in power to Umbrella, agitating sensitive nerves.
The fact that someone acted against the Night Five squad was unexpected, but Teng Yun Geshang didn’t find it too unbelievable.
Still, the unsettling part was not knowing their assailant and being unable to retaliate immediately.
Being suppressed like this left him deeply irked.
After all, they were Umbrella—one of the world’s deep-sea leviathans.
To take such a hit and simply endure it?
Absurd!
Yet this failure ultimately stemmed from Teng Yun Geshang’s own miscalculation.
Night Five squad would now be redirected back to the Middle East, and until their mission was completed, they were unlikely to be reassigned again.
Even Konstantin, who treated Night Five like a prized possession, would have no choice but to hold back.
Teng Yun Geshang himself felt the most frustrated at the site.
To watch their organization’s ultimate weapon be unceremoniously slapped down was unbearable.
The fact that he hadn’t erupted yet was already a testament to his restraint.
This afternoon, Night Five planned to take action against Ning Fan, but midway, they were ambushed by a figure dressed in black.
During the battle, Gerwood was killed…”
After briefly explaining the events, Teng Yun Geshang’s expression grew even darker.
It wasn’t that he particularly mourned Gerwood; that person wasn’t even his subordinate.
And Gerwood’s death, if anything, was his own fault—insisting on advancing with no sense of the danger around him.
With his capabilities, death was inevitable.
What truly angered Teng Yun Geshang was the enigmatic attacker.
Who was he?
Which organization did he belong to?
Huaxia, vast and boundless, was home to countless hidden families and forces.
At this moment, Teng Yun Geshang couldn’t pinpoint who had targeted them.
