"Hmph!" Miranda heard the sound of thunder in the sky, and suddenly shrank her neck in fear, not daring to make another sound.

Although Xu Hao wouldn't let her die, he could make her life a living hell. She wouldn't suffer this humiliation for nothing.

"Let's go. Try to get out of this forest tonight and then find the Immortal Bone," Xu Hao said, carrying Miranda on his back and walking back along the path.

Xu Hao had already somewhat determined the hiding place of the Immortal Bone. He only needed to return along the path and then climb up to reach that location.

Xu Hao carried Miranda quietly as they walked back, with only the sound of the wind and rain accompanying them.

However, both of them were unaware that tonight, the global underground world was anything but quiet in some places.

...

On a small island in the Atlantic.

The island isn't particularly large, only a few dozen square kilometers, but the facilities on the island are extremely well-equipped, even surpassing many national capitals.

Everywhere here is under strict vigilance, all equipped with high-tech devices. There are planes patrolling the sky, numerous modern ships in the sea, and even three submarines!

People on the island are busy but orderly.

Here is the headquarters of the third-largest assassin organization in the world, the Black Shadow Organization!

Currently, in the headquarters of the Black Shadow Organization, in a hall in the basement located at the center of the island, a third of the organization's senior personnel are gathered.

When they saw the device carried by the Grandmaster Level expert from the Black Shadow Organization stop blinking and turn dark, they knew that the Grandmaster Level expert was dead.

"The mission failed."

The elderly man sitting at the head sighed, "Even fifty Internal Energy Transformation and Mastery Level experts, plus one middle stage Grandmaster Level expert, couldn't defeat Xu Hao. It shows how powerful Xu Hao is."

"Sixth Elder, I don't think Xu Hao is that formidable. He only defeated a middle stage Grandmaster Level expert; who here thinks killing a middle stage Grandmaster Level expert can make us afraid?" A young man in his twenties or thirties immediately stood up and retorted.

The Sixth Elder's features resembled those of Huaya People, while the young man bore the typical appearance of someone from the Ri Bu Luo Empire.

The Sixth Elder glanced at him calmly and said, "Boris, do you think you are a match for Xu Hao? He did not just kill a middle stage Grandmaster Level tonight, but eliminated fifty-three masters of Qi transformation, thirty-seven mastery level experts, and eight Grandmaster Level experts! I ask everyone present, who can match him?!"

Upon hearing this terrifying figure, everyone instantly fell silent.

They might have thought earlier that the Sixth Elder was being overly cautious regarding Xu Hao, which was unnecessary, given that Xu Hao's profile indicated he was merely a middle stage Grandmaster Level expert.

But when they heard this alarming number, everyone fell silent.

Yes, they were assassins and regarded human life as trivial, but even during their most active years, they wouldn't kill this many people in a year.

Yet Xu Hao mercilessly killed all these people!

They certainly knew how the Sixth Elder obtained these figures, all thanks to the drone reconnaissance spinning in mid-air, which could collect surface temperature characteristics of each person in the valley using infrared detectors.

When Xu Hao hid in the shadows, the Sixth Elder and others had considered using the drone's infrared detector to locate Xu Hao. * (*) appreciates your readership at the source.

But Xu Hao concealed himself, suppressing all his aura, making his surface temperature drop to the extreme like a stone, making them unable to find him and had to give up.

The Sixth Elder knocked on the expensive purple sandalwood table and said, "Facts prove Xu Hao is very strong, strong enough that we must take him seriously, so I decide to propose Xu Hao's name for the World Assassination List!"

The World Assassination List!

It's a global list jointly established by major assassin organizations, aimed at highlighting the assassination value of a particular person.

The higher a person's rank, the higher their bounty, indicating their value.

People listed here are not just martial arts experts. Instead, the list predominantly includes wealthy individuals, important officials, and leaders from various countries.

Which seems normal, as the influence of a martial arts expert can hardly match that of a national leader.

Nonetheless, the national leaders of world powers definitely wouldn't be listed.

Not only is it basically impossible to execute, but even if it could be, it would have to be done secretly. Otherwise, any major nation would see it as an insult to their leader and might resort to military action, which would doom them.

Don't be deceived by these assassin organizations seeming formidable; they are nothing in front of world powers!

They are merely a group of people living in the underground world.

Yet, the energy of these people is exceedingly large, sometimes even influencing the course of events in small countries!
