The Siren Group's days had indeed been rather tense lately.
With a book in his hands, Fu Qian had thought of the state of the world.
As everyone knew, the conflict between Siren and An Jing was still raging.
It had even prompted opportunists and profiteers to emerge one after another. He knew of two such groups himself.
Even without An Jing Shizhi, the Anjing Group was still powerful, with a more rational organizational structure. It would be hard to determine a winner in the short term, which must have caused Siren no small amount of trouble.
Take the underwater prison last time, for example.
The deaths of a bunch of prisoners were one thing. Some of the things involved were clearly highly sensitive.
Not only was Scarlet Fever, which was related to the Tyrant, involved, but there had also been something strange about the entire prison throughout the incident.
And according to the mission summary, the Night Watcher had clearly been involved in the cleanup afterward.
Although they had only taken away the victims and hadn't pursued the matter any further, it was still questionable whether Siren would dare keep using its offshore base.
With the situation at a stalemate and no sufficiently worthwhile gains in hand, it was hard for an organization to simply stop. It was easy to imagine what would happen next: they'd become the center of a storm and drag more and more people into it.
This sort of thing was hardly unusual.
As a recently emerging organization, the Rebirth Club—and its undisputed leader, Old Master Lu—would inevitably be taken into consideration.
Although their motives were unclear and their actions hard to predict, one shouldn't forget that the Ji Clan knew all too well about the conflict between the Rebirth Club and the Anjing Group.
