269: Break into the base

“No problem. This matter is of great importance, and Uncle Cheng should indeed consider it carefully,” Situ Cong said unhurriedly.

He was not surprised by Uncle Cheng’s reaction at all. After investigation, Pan Han had some ties with the Wang Corporation.

What could be confirmed was that there were large gold transactions, and what could not be confirmed was that there should also be business in medicine.

The Wang Corporation was considered a prominent enterprise in Dragon Country, and directly confronting them would be too costly.

As long as Uncle Cheng could persuade the Wang Corporation to abandon their cooperation with Pan Han, the previous minor skirmishes would not be a big deal.

As the head of the Dragon Country Base, Ouyang Cong had the authority to decide on such minor matters.

If Uncle Cheng himself, or the Wang Corporation, remained stubborn and insisted on protecting Pan Han, then a full-scale assault would be the only option.

As long as the organization leveraged its strengths and assassinated a few people, the other party would usually retreat without a fight.

Uncle Cheng did not stay long. After a brief chat, he left.

By the time he arrived home, Pan Han had also reached the Capital.

The two met directly at the transaction villa.

“Uncle Cheng, let’s get straight to the point. Where is the organization’s base in the Capital?” Pan Han entered the room without any pleasantries, going straight to the topic.

“I know, but I haven’t decided whether to tell you,” Uncle Cheng also didn’t waste words. He hadn't reported to Wang Doudou’s father yet, and abandoning Pan Han entirely would definitely require Old Master Wang’s approval.

After all, there was still cooperation, and it was a large project worth hundreds of billions annually, involving too wide a scope to be easily abandoned.

“They found you?” Pan Han knew immediately that Uncle Cheng had a problem, a guilty conscience.

“Just found me.”

“What did they say?”

“They told me to stop protecting you.”

“Good! Tell me the address, and you can withdraw your men now!” Pan Han was not afraid of threats. As long as he had the address, the Dragon Country branch base would be gone in half an hour.

“It’s not that simple, is it?” Uncle Cheng was surprised by Pan Han’s decisiveness. Did this kid have a countermeasure?

“It’s that simple. But don’t worry, I won’t interrupt my cooperation with the Wang Corporation.”

“What about your family? Once my people withdraw, they will immediately be in trouble.”

“Uncle Cheng, since you’ve already decided to listen to them, you don’t need to consider me anymore.” Although Pan Han was also worried about his family’s safety.

But if Uncle Cheng had already defected to the other side, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous to have Uncle Cheng’s people protect his family?

“How do you know I’ve already defected to them?” Uncle Cheng asked with a smile.

“Then tell me the address.”

“Pan Han, oh, Pan Han, who exactly are you? I’m very curious! How can you believe that you can overturn the entire organization with your own strength alone??”

“Uncle Cheng, oh, Uncle Cheng, I’m very curious to know how powerful this organization is!” As an Intermediate Evolver, the Big Brother on the Billion Trial list, and the lord of a post-apocalyptic base that swept through many forces in Z City, Pan Han was not afraid of any damn organization.

“Alright, then I’ll let you know. Sit down.” Uncle Cheng sat down first, placing a box of cigarettes.

“Begin,” Pan Han pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and sat with his legs crossed, waiting for Uncle Cheng’s narration.

He had heard a few introductions of the organization in the warehouse before, but now he only remembered the name Tianlong Knight Order. The rest were not important information.

“The organization’s name is the Tianlong Knight Order, and it has existed for hundreds of years,” Uncle Cheng sighed, beginning his narration.

“Initially, the organization was just an assassin alliance, then it gradually expanded into the business and political fields. Developing to the present, its influence spans the globe, controlling dozens of large groups and more than a dozen large banks, with a membership exceeding one million!”

“Continue,” Pan Han gestured for Uncle Cheng to go on.

“Although outsiders don’t know about the Knight Order, it’s a well-known entity in the circles of various national politicians. It can manipulate too many things.”

“The Knight Order is divided into ten branches globally, and Dragon Country also has one. The headquarters are in Africa. The Knight Order is strictly organized with numerous rules. The leadership department is called the Elder Committee, with only three members. Below the Elder Committee are also the Administration Department, Intelligence Department, Action Department, Logistics Department, Business Department, and so on.”

“Indeed, very strict.” Pan Han listened roughly and found that this organization was much larger than his base in the apocalypse.

“Even if you eliminate the Dragon Country branch, the Knight Order will rebuild in a very short time and escalate retaliation.” Uncle Cheng finished one cigarette and lit another.

At this point, the room was filled with smoke, and the two men, with deep gazes and serious expressions, looked at each other.

“In my hometown, I heard people from the Knight Order say to prepare for a holy war.”

“Then it’s over, just wait for death. The organization has never lost any of the holy wars in its history.” Uncle Cheng’s biggest fear had come true.

Once a holy war was initiated, it was a fight to the death; one side had to fall for it to end.

“You’d best pray that only you die.” After a long silence, Uncle Cheng threw out another sentence and then stopped speaking.

He had to quickly find Old Master Wang and promptly sever ties with Pan Han.

“Okay, no problem. However, Uncle Cheng, since we’ve met, can you tell me the address of the Dragon Country Base?” Pan Han had nothing else on his mind now; he only wanted to round up everyone who sent people to deal with his family.

…

A few minutes later, Uncle Cheng slowly spoke an address and then left directly.

Before leaving, he patted Pan Han’s shoulder, telling him to take care of himself.

“Thank you, Uncle Cheng.” Pan Han stood up and drove straight to the address.

Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Country Base, Ouyang Cong was reporting the action plan to the headquarters.

He was not in a hurry to initiate a holy war, as that would make him seem incompetent, unable to handle a mere Pan Han.

However, his actions needed to be reported to the headquarters and await approval.

This operation required mobilizing personnel and forces beyond the level of ordinary incidents, necessitating a decision from the headquarters.

According to previous custom, the headquarters usually would not reject a branch’s action plan but would instead provide instructions and support.

Therefore, they only needed to wait 24 hours to launch a full-scale attack.

Shortly after, Ellie sent a message that she had contacted Yan Xiaoli and would discuss cooperation matters at noon.

To expedite the process, Ellie decided to invest her own funds this time, so she needed to apply for 5 million in funding.

Ouyang Cong didn’t care about this small sum and approved it casually.

“Pan Han, this kid is truly interesting.” Ouyang Cong had not lost so many people since becoming the Dragon Country head.

Twice, he had lost 14 people; his report would be impossible to write.

“Beep, beep! Alarm, alarm! Intruder detected!” Suddenly, alarms blared throughout the conference room.

“What’s going on?!” Ouyang Cong exclaimed in anger. Who dared to break into the Knight Order base?

“Report, it’s Pan Han who broke in,” a monitor operator reported.

“What? That fast?” Ouyang Cong rushed to the monitor and saw Pan Han in the courtyard, beating up several guards.

“Damn it, how did he get in?” Ouyang Cong told the operator to rewind the footage.

“He actually jumped over the wall!” Although the base’s wall wasn’t high, the surrounding area was very clean, with no protrusions for climbing.

“Full-scale engagement!” At Ouyang Cong’s command, dozens of fierce-looking men followed him, charging into the courtyard.
