This was just Jian Ai’s guess. She naturally wouldn’t ask others about their shortcomings.

Jian Ai immediately straightened her expression and said to Zhi Tong, “I believe Bai Zhou has already told you our goal for coming to Italy, right?”

Zhi Tong nodded. “If you want to enter the International Mercenary Group’s headquarters, it won’t be easy!”

“Do you have a deeper understanding of this organization?” Jian Ai subconsciously asked!

Most of the bases of these international organizations were in Europe. Zhi Tong was European, so there might be information they did not know.

Zhi Tong thought for a moment and said slowly, “As far as I know, these organizations of a certain scale have some rich people supporting them.”

“Moreover, these people’s identities are not simple. However, because this transaction is too dark, the rich people hiding behind the scenes will hide themselves very well. Even if they send information to the organization’s leader, they will mostly pass it through others! They won’t show themselves easily!”

“You mean that a rich person sponsored this mercenary group?” Yun Buyao frowned.

Zhi Tong shook his head. “I’m not completely sure, but it’s likely that there’s a mastermind behind an organization of their scale. The reason these people will spend a lot of money to support the killer organization is not only because they can be used when needed but also because they want to protect themselves. Who knows when they will become the target of assassination? With the support of the mercenary group, the other killer organizations won’t dare to attack them!”

Jian Ai and the rest listened attentively. Because they did not think about this before, Yun Buyao did not ask Gale about this.

She did not expect that these crazy people in the dark corners of the world could receive the support of a rich person!

However, this was not what surprised them the most. Zhi Tong said, “I heard from Bai Zhou that he experienced three assassinations during this period? And they were all from the same organization?”

Jian Ai frowned and nodded. “Is there a problem?”

Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao also looked at Zhi Tong curiously.

Zhi Tong explained, “This is also very suspicious. Usually, when an assassin organization accepts a mission, if the mission fails once, the employer will not hire them a second time. However, this organization failed repeatedly in their attempts to assassinate Bai Zhou, but the employer did not look for other organizations…”

“You mean that the employer behind this might be the rich man behind the mercenary group?! That’s why he didn’t look for other organizations!” Jian Ai instantly reacted and said.

Zhi Tong nodded. “Moreover, the mercenary group lost seven people on two missions, but they still didn’t hesitate to use their six trump cards. It’s obvious that they have to complete the mission! You have to know what sending six ability users at the same time means to the mercenary group. It’s obvious that they can’t afford to offend the client!”

Hearing Zhi Tong’s words, Jian Ai and the rest couldn’t help but look at each other. This news was quite important to them!

As long as they found out who was supporting this mercenary group behind the scenes, the mastermind behind the assassination of Bai Zhou would be obvious!

However, even so, the mission was still difficult. This was because Zhi Tong’s meaning was very clear. The person behind this hid very deeply. Even if he contacted the leader, he would do so via other people!

Therefore, no matter what, they had to infiltrate the mercenary group’s headquarters.

“We still have to think of a way to sneak in. That way, we can contact Leader Hans of the mercenary group,” Yun Buyao said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Buyao couldn’t help but look at Yu Wuyuan. “Can’t you fly in?”

Without waiting for Yu Wuyuan to speak, Zhi Tong said, “No, it’s too risky.”

“I’ll go in!” Zhi Tong looked at everyone and said firmly!

“You have a way?” Jian Ai was shocked.

Zhi Tong paused and nodded gently. “Although it’s not a completely safe method, it’s at least safer than all of you!”

Without waiting for them to ask, Zhi Tong explained, “The power of the evil spirit can spiritualize the body and reduce one’s visibility!”

“Invisibility?” Yun Buyao was shocked. “I remember Xiao Zhen said that there’s an ability user from the other party who knows how to be invisible!”

Zhi Tong denied Yun Buyao’s words. “I can’t turn completely invisible!”

Jian Ai frowned. “No, that’s too dangerous!”

If he could not completely hide his body, what was the difference between that and being visible? Wouldn’t people be able to tell at a glance?

“Sect Master, don’t be anxious. If I’m not confident, I won’t take the risk.”

Zhi Tong said, “I just said that when the Yin energy is at its heaviest at midnight, my ability is the strongest! At that time, the other party’s guard will be relatively relaxed. Although I can’t completely etherealize my body, I won’t be noticed in the dark!”

“Even if I’m exposed, I can ignore all physical attacks when I’m in my spiritual form. This is my elementalization. They won’t catch me so easily!”

Elementalization was a manifestation of fusing one’s body with one’s abilities! Xiao Zhen’s power of smoke could completely vaporize his body. At that time, Gale used a lethal machine gun to fire at his body but did not hurt Xiao Zhen at all.

She did not expect that Zhi Tong’s power of the evil spirit could also allow him to elementalize!

Jian Ai and the rest looked at each other and couldn’t help but worry.

“Sect Master, believe me!” Zhi Tong suddenly looked at Jian Ai with determination.

Jian Ai’s heart stopped for a moment. Then, she looked at Zhi Tong and nodded. “Promise me that if the momentum is wrong, you’ll get away immediately!”

Not that Jian Ai was worried for nothing, but everything was unknown.

“I know,” Zhi Tong said.

Seeing that the Sect Master had made up her mind, Yun Buyao asked, “When are we taking action?”

Jian Ai initially wanted to plan, but Zhi Tong spoke first. “The dark clouds tonight are rare. To prevent any accidents, I’ll sneak in tonight!”

Everyone: “…”

However, since she had chosen to believe in Zhi Tong, Jian Ai had no reason to object to his decision. Since he felt that tonight was the best time, it would be tonight!

“Alright, let’s take action tonight!” Jian Ai said.

When Zhi Tong heard this, his eyes were filled with a touched smile, as if he was grateful for Jian Ai’s trust in him!

Yu Wuyuan quickly said, “I’ll be waiting for you outside. I’m here if you encounter danger. I won’t let anything happen to you!”

Yun Buyao also smiled and said, “I’ll use The Art of Peering to implant my vision into your brain. I’ll also see the situation inside through your eyes from the outside. You don’t have to say anything. You can talk to me with your brain!”

Zhi Tong pursed his lips and looked at the two of them. He said with certainty, “I’m very relieved to have companions like you!”
