A few days later, in South Africa, on the other side of the Earth, 22 people of different skin colors and languages, arriving from the Middle East, South America, North America, and other regions of Africa, gathered at the same location.

Initially, they tested each other, but once they realized they were all there for the same purpose, they began to relax their guard and quietly waited in their respective places.

However, their wait did not last long. Five minutes after the last person arrived at the target area, their communicators received the same message.

“All personnel immediately assemble 500 meters ahead in the target area. You still have the chance to withdraw if you do not wish to join; you may leave immediately.” After this message was displayed, their communicators showed a map with two flashing points: the red marks indicated their current locations, and the green mark indicated the target area where Wu Hao’s spacecraft was parked.

Looking at their communicators, the individuals did not exchange greetings. Instead, they maintained a certain distance from each other and started moving toward the direction indicated by the communicators.

Among the 22 people, who came from 8 different countries, there were two from ****. However, their backgrounds differed: one was an elite member of a **** special forces unit, while the other was a professional assassin trained from childhood by an assassin organization.

The elite member from the **** special forces unit was the recently hired mercenary Lone Wolf Li Qing. Initially, Li Qing joined with a trial mindset, but over the next few days, he found that the Black Vulture organization recruiting him had intelligence capabilities even more terrifying than the CIA, which claimed to be the most pervasive intelligence agency in the world.

Thus, having nothing left to lose, Li Qing did not hesitate further.

The other person, named Ying Long, was more unique. He was the top assassin in the world, ranked third, and his codename was Ying Long. As for his original name? Could someone raised from childhood by an assassin organization have an original name?

The answer was definitely no!

Ying Long, as a member of the world’s third-ranked assassin organization, was the only one rated SS-class, the highest rank. He was selected by the Intelligence Brain because, in his nearly ten-year career, he had only targeted drug lords, gang bosses, and political figures, never using any means other than necessary. Unlike other assassins who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

In addition to Ying Long’s personal integrity, another important factor was his desire to leave his current assassin organization and personally destroy it.

Ying Long had such thoughts because, six months ago, he accidentally discovered some confidential files from twenty years ago about the assassin organization. These files were originally meant to be destroyed but were seen by him.

These documents were about the organization’s ruthless methods of recruiting and training children to expand its power globally.

Among them was his own story. His background was quite brutal. His family had been killed by the founder of this assassin organization, and he had been taken in as an orphan and trained to become a cold-blooded assassin.

When Ying Long learned about his origins, he initially intended to kill the founder of the organization, who was now his adoptive father. However, he held back, realizing that while killing his elderly adoptive father would not be difficult, escaping afterward would be.

Moreover, he wanted to annihilate the entire organization, so Ying Long remained patient and began secretly gathering his own forces.

Previously, he had always worked alone within the organization, but in the past six months, he had changed his approach. To gather strength, he started recruiting from the organization and preparing secretly outside.

At this point, he received a recruitment invitation from the Intelligence Brain. Initially, he did not intend to respond, but he found the intelligence capabilities of the other party too formidable. Thus, he tentatively asked the Intelligence Brain: “If I join you, can you help me destroy the Greedy Wolf Assassin Organization?”

The Intelligence Brain was initially surprised by Ying Long’s question but knew that Wu Hao’s power could indeed destroy not just assassin organizations but even powerful national regimes if he wished.

The information about the Greedy Wolf Assassin Organization was already known to Zero through previous investigations. The organization, ranked third globally, was the only independent assassin organization not tied to any family, established over thirty years ago.

Thus, the Intelligence Brain gave Ying Long a definitive answer: “Join the Black Vulture Legion, and the Greedy Wolf Assassin Organization will cease to exist.”

With the Intelligence Brain’s confirmation and its powerful intelligence capabilities demonstrated, Ying Long, though still somewhat skeptical, decided to come to South Africa as instructed.

Although he had spent six months gathering forces and forging alliances, his collected strength was still insufficient for his goals. So, it was better to first join the Black Vulture Legion and see what happened.

Besides Li Qing and Ying Long, who had different motives and mindsets for joining, the other 20 members from various countries had similar mindsets and objectives.

Some were motivated by the financial incentives offered by the Intelligence Brain, while others were attracted by the potential to become stronger. Despite their varied reasons, their current goal was the same: to head toward the target area designated by the Intelligence Brain.

For these 22 well-trained individuals, a distance of 500 meters was not significant. They quickly arrived at a point a hundred meters from the target area.

There, they saw through the dim light of the sky an advanced-looking aircraft parked among the grass.

Seeing this, everyone understood that this was the target area indicated by the communicator and that boarding this aircraft would take them to the location of the so-called Black Vulture Legion.

Soon, as the 22 people arrived one after another next to the aircraft, the door at the back of the spacecraft opened. The shape of the spacecraft resembled futuristic designs imagined by countries around the world: a flat, wide body with very narrow wings on each side.
