Agent

The banquet was filled with clinking glasses and toasts, as if the death of Holt never happened. The people of Red Hat and Jiang Chuan were drinking happily.

Xibel, the leader of Red Hat's Intelligence Department, approached Jiang Chuan and said, "Leader Roland, can you tell me about your plans for Red Hat going forward?"

Jiang Chuan nodded, "Of course, no problem. Red Hat doesn't need to declare its stance and side with the Dark Sea Throne right now. I will provide you with a lot of steel for your business. I'm sure I don't need to tell you about the steel market. You don't need to give me a share of the first month's profits. Use that money to purchase weapons and explosives to prepare for future riots."

Xibel was confused, "Riots? Leader Roland, I don't know what kind of riots you're referring to."

Jiang Chuan smiled, "You must know that more and more people in Bilgewater are opposing Gangplank. These people are just waiting for an opportunity, and I can give them that perfect opportunity. Once Gangplank steps down, do you think Bilgewater won't fall into chaos?"

Xibel chuckled, "At that time, wouldn't the Dark Sea Throne become prey for everyone?"

Jiang Chuan took a sip of wine and said, "With the strength and firepower of the Dark Sea Throne, which gang in all of Bilgewater do you think can achieve that?"

Xibel smiled, "According to your plan, wouldn't Red Hat become a commercial organization?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, "No, no, no, you're overthinking it. The core of Red Hat lies in your Intelligence Department. You will become the most effective sharp weapon. All the gangs are preparing to take down Gangplank, and this is undoubtedly a good opportunity."

Xibel was puzzled, "I don't agree with you. The gangs are all operating in their own territories, and their defenses will definitely be much tighter than usual. How can this still be considered a good opportunity?"

Jiang Chuan put down his wine glass, "This shows you don't have a deep enough understanding of intelligence personnel. Intelligence personnel are not just spies; they can also be trained as agents! An excellent agent can bring down an entire organization."

Xibel was surprised, "Does the Dark Sea Throne have its own intelligence organization?"

Jiang Chuan picked up a piece of roasted meat and put it in his mouth, "This is the most basic thing. All intelligence organizations are just efficient or inefficient. The role of agents is multifaceted, not just in reconnaissance and information gathering. Every member of a well-trained agent organization is a powerful killer and scout, capable of gathering intelligence, eliminating enemies, and leaving calmly amidst thousands of troops."

Curiosity flashed in Xibel's eyes, "How many agents like the ones you describe does the Dark Sea Throne have?"

Jiang Chuan smiled, "Not too many, not too few. Exactly four."

What Jiang Chuan was referring to was naturally the Heaven's Punishment Squad. Jiang Chuan's original goal was to train the five members of the Heaven's Punishment Squad into excellent agents. They were the secret organization of the Dark Sea Throne. Currently, only Jiang Chuan and Kendi knew about the existence of the Heaven's Punishment Squad. The missions of the Heaven's Punishment Squad were directly assigned by Jiang Chuan. The Heaven's Punishment Squad needed to maintain secrecy to achieve the element of surprise, which is crucial for an agent organization.

Xibel was confused, "What can an intelligence organization of four people do?"

Jiang Chuan smiled, "As I said earlier, your Red Hat can send six hundred people for me to train, including agents."

Xibel smiled, "You killed so many of our intelligence personnel last time, and we still haven't found fresh blood."

Jiang Chuan looked at the delicacies on the table and said, "An army is about quality, not quantity. Just like the food on this table, it doesn't need to be abundant, but it needs to be exquisite and delicious."

Xibel raised his wine glass and smiled, "Then, let's have a pleasant cooperation."

Jiang Chuan smiled, "This is a project that benefits both of us."

Indeed, things unfolded as Jiang Chuan had said. The Red Hat's intelligence organization already had a solid foundation; what was lacking was more detailed and comprehensive training, which could save a lot of time.

Pero approached Jiang Chuan and said, "Leader Roland, except for a few stubborn old loyalists to Gangplank, everyone else has agreed to this matter."

Jiang Chuan gave a cold smile, "There's still such a thing? These people really won't give up until they see the Yellow River! We need to let them witness our methods and power. How is your magic recovery coming along?"

Pero shook his head and said, "Not very objective. Although my magic is growing rapidly, casting spells still requires a long time of familiarity and practice."

Jiang Chuan nodded, "Tonight, kill those who disobey. List them out for me in the Mingdian. In a few days, I'll have Sarah manage Red Hat. You and Cadaman will focus on researching magic. You will become a very strong trump card later. Also, from now on, just call me President."

Pero smiled, "No problem, President. I'll have Ralph compile the list for you."

Jiang Chuan nodded and continued eating the food on the table. When the banquet ended, Ralph gave Jiang Chuan a long list and a stack of small booklets, all filled with those Old Stubborns.

Jiang Chuan ate the last piece of roast meat and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ralph smiled, "President, you jest. This contains the information and living habits of those people. I will select those six hundred people as soon as possible."

Jiang Chuan smiled, "No rush. Those six hundred people must be absolutely obedient. Resistance during training will be met with immediate execution. You need to pay close attention."

Ralph nodded, "That's no problem. What about after they are selected?"

Jiang Chuan frowned and thought for a moment, "After selection, you will rendezvous with the First Army. Specifics will await my orders."

Ralph said, "President, I'll take my leave then."

Jiang Chuan nodded, "Go ahead and be busy."

Moonlight enveloped Bilgewater, making the entire city appear even more sinister and terrifying. Jiang Chuan summoned Pyke, and Kayn also emerged from the shadows. Jiang Chuan gave them the list and said, "The people on this list are your targets tonight. I know a few of them are Mages. Kayn, your opportunity has arrived. These few will provide you with a lot of energy."

Kayn took the list and looked at it for a while, "Killing these people isn't difficult, but those Mages are troublesome. Finding them is really a hassle."

Jiang Chuan smiled, "I know you have your ways. There's no rush to deal with these Mages tonight. Pyke will assist you. Pyke, has your old problem gotten any better?"

Pyke put away the list and smiled, "My mind has been much quieter lately. That damned fish only appears in my mind after a long time."

Kayn chuckled in confusion, "A fish in your head? That's hilarious."

Pyke said coldly, "I don't know if things from the deep sea are funny, but a killer wielding a farming tool is quite amusing."

Kayn gripped his scythe and said coldly, "I hope you can still say that after this farming tool carves a gash on your neck."

Pyke picked up his Trident and smiled, "You can try!"

Jiang Chuan shouted, "Enough! Hurry up and act, time waits for no one!"

Pyke turned into a mist of water and floated into the distance. Kayn also vanished into the shadows. Jiang Chuan lingered at the spot for a while before returning to the First Army's camp.

Kendi and Donahue walked over. Kendi asked, "President, did you reach an agreement?"

Jiang Chuan smiled, "There are still a few Old Stubborns, but they will know the consequences of resisting the Dark Sea Throne tonight!"
