That's great!"
Feng Yu felt relieved upon seeing that both women were still in good spirits. With a smile, he added, "It looks like we've scored a major victory this time!"
And it was true.
To eliminate all the Meteor Pursuit Team members without suffering any serious injuries themselves was an overwhelming triumph.
Just days ago, they had been on the run, forced to rest and recover in the sky, constantly hiding from pursuit. But now, with all their enemies defeated, both Shiba and Mia felt a deep sense of relief. Like Feng Yu, smiles of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
"What?! I see!"
In the inner city of Meteor Street, inside one of the luxurious estates, Donald, a senior member of the Council of Elders, was on the phone.
His expression twisted with shock, then rage.
An oppressive, murderous aura burst from him.
The chilling pressure made the entire living room feel like an ice cellar. The nearby maids trembled, their faces pale. Even the seasoned guards stationed nearby involuntarily stiffened.
For such a reaction to occur in Donald's presence, the news he had received could only mean one thing:
The Meteor Pursuit Team had been wiped out.
As the most powerful elder in the Council, Donald had been personally overseeing the Meteor Chasers. Ever since their mission to eliminate Feng Yu began, he had maintained regular contact to monitor their progress.
But just a day ago, all communication ceased.
Donald had immediately grown suspicious and sent men to investigate.
What they found stunned him: the entire team had been slaughtered near Kavos City.
Not a single survivor.
The strongest assassins sent by the Council—completely annihilated.
"Were they really taken out by Feng Yu?" Donald muttered darkly, eyes filled with killing intent. "Or was there someone else involved..."
From the reports he received, the Meteor Chasers had pursued Feng Yu out of Kavos City. Then—all contact was lost.
Shortly after, the corpses were discovered.
The most logical conclusion was that a major battle had broken out, and the Meteor Pursuit Team had lost.
But Donald wasn't so sure.
Feng Yu had spent the past few weeks avoiding confrontation with the Chasers. Even with two powerful allies by his side, Donald doubted that Feng Yu alone could have overcome them. Otherwise, he would've fought long ago.
So perhaps the cause was something else.
An ambush, maybe.
Or secret reinforcements working alongside Feng Yu.
The thought reminded Donald of the recent internal purges he'd conducted within Meteor Street.
Ever since the rise of Feng Yu's Secret Flower Organization, Donald had become paranoid. He'd led numerous crackdowns under the Council's name, targeting those suspected of aiding unknown forces trying to challenge the Elders' control.
And now…
Now his greatest tools—the elite Meteor Pursuit Team—were all dead..
