Book 6 Chapter 24

The Failure of the Dragon Scale Unit

"We failed."

"Casualties?"

"They… are all dead."

"Is that so!"

Chisahan's tone was calm. He had already braced himself for the complete annihilation of the Dragon Scale Unit. The leader of the Dark Soul Shadow Wing Unit might have seen them as mere brats, but Chisahan's perspective was wrong. He had committed all their forces because they seemed to have an advantage in waterways. It would also serve as a warning to Lei Zhongming. As planned, Lei Zhongming's forces would have been significantly weakened by this incident.

The next issue was the damage to the target.

"What about damage to the target?"

"There… is none."

The subordinate, Cheonrihori Gong Yuguk, had grown even paler since reporting the annihilation of their Dark Soul Shadow Wing Unit's Dragon Scale Unit.

Chisahan's brow furrowed slightly.

"Hahahaha! Do you think it makes sense that you couldn't inflict any damage even after deploying the Dragon Scale Unit, the strongest naval force?"

"I… I am sorry."

Gong Yuguk's face was deathly pale from fear. He knew all too well how cruel his superior could be. The punishment for failure, in particular, was dreadful.

"They are more formidable than I thought! Did I miscalculate?"

While he had expected the failure of the Dragon Scale Unit, the fact that the target sustained no damage was unexpected.

Suddenly, the face of Lei Zhongming flashed in Chisahan's mind and disappeared.

One of the covert forces he had secretly nurtured was completely wiped out. He could hardly feel good about it. He wondered what expression Lei Zhongming would wear when he heard this report. It was impossible not to be intrigued.

For now, he had to appease him. It would be appropriate to offer a small tribute to the dogs that were slaughtered. There was no harm in giving it, so there was no need to be stingy. Moreover, it could also be a jab at Lei Zhongming, making it a double benefit.

"I'll have to find another dog!"

This was Chisahan's final conclusion. Meeting Lei Zhongming first was the priority.

"To think that even the Dragon Scale Unit was not enough… That they were defeated in the water, I can't believe it. I seem to have misjudged their capabilities. Who could have imagined they would be disgracefully drowned without inflicting any damage on the target?"

As Chisahan's subtly mocking tone reached Lei Zhongming's ears, Lei Zhongming's eyebrows twitched. It was evident that the other party was mocking him intentionally.

"It was an action carried out according to a flawed plan from the start, so how could the results be correct! It's utterly absurd. It's not a good look to shift your own flaws onto others."

As the saying goes, old ginger is spicy. Mu-ung Lei Zhongming hadn't aged for nothing just by his appearance. If the words spoken were not kind, the words returned would not be kind either. The nature of the dark world was to return what was received.

Chisahan's narrowly extended eyebrows trembled faintly, almost imperceptibly. If he lost this verbal spar, he wouldn't be the Evil Shadow Brain, Chisahan.

His tongue grew sharper and sharper.

"I devised this plan because I believed that the Dragon Scale Unit, nurtured by the elder, had sufficient ability to execute my plan. Who could have known they would be so inept and fail to meet my expectations to this extent? I was betrayed by my trust!"

"Bang!"

Lei Zhongming slammed the table roughly. He had never been a patient person to begin with. His face was flushed red with anger.

'Damn it! I shouldn't have gone along with this rat's plan from the start!'

Regret was useless now. A quarter of his subordinates, like his clones, were already gone. Fury flickered in his torch-like eyes.

"So, you're saying that the abilities of our children were severely lacking, and they ruined your 'flawed' operation?"

"I'm glad you're so quick to understand. To think that the Dragon Scale Unit, one of Machoekgak's top forces, was defeated by such brats… Tsk tsk!"

At the remark of "brats," Lei Zhongming glared at Chisahan with sharp eyes. He resented the reality that he couldn't smash the foul-smelling head of that rat right now.

Any further bickering was a waste of time. Having already stepped into the mire, there was no turning back.

"If you still see them as brats, then your next operation will undoubtedly fail. I will gladly await your disastrous failure. But know this one thing!"

As a murderous intent flashed in Lei Zhongming's eyes, Chisahan instinctively flinched. His gaze was by no means the gaze of a man over a hundred and twenty years old.

"If our children die in vain again due to your flimsy plans, I will not stand idly by. Be prepared to take responsibility!"

These were words that left no room for compromise. Chisahan replied reluctantly.

"Understood!"

Lei Zhongming left, as if there was no further value in talking. Only Chisahan remained behind, gnawing on his lips.

"You… old bastard…"

A sinister gleam flickered in Chisahan's eyes.

"Just you wait! The day you can boast like that won't be far off. I'll make you pound the ground in regret and shed tears of blood. Hahahaha…!"

A thick aura of malevolence emanated from his body.
