ILLIMITABLE UNTIL DEATH

"That's enough!"

When this voice reached Fang Li and Sun Wukong's ears, their reactions were completely different.

Fang Li turned his head and looked directly at the source of the voice.

Sun Wukong, on the other hand, seemed to recognize the newcomer and clicked her tongue in irritation.

At this moment, a rugged off-road vehicle drove through the forest path ahead, kicking up a cloud of dust before coming to a stop on the beach.

Above the vehicle, a person stood in the open driver's seat, holding a sniper rifle.

It was clear that it was this person that had just fired the gun.

And Fang Li knew this person well.

He had been present during the Far East Battle's Bandire, and Riko's intelligence had also mentioned this individual.

So, Fang Li clearly remembered the person's name.

"Zhuge Jinghuan…"

Indeed, it was the same Zhuge Jinghuan who always wore a smile that hid his true intentions, representing Ranban at Bandire and announcing their alliance with Grenada (servant).

Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception turned towards him.

"Hmm?"

In the next moment, Fang Li suddenly paused.

Then, as if understanding something, Fang Li silently deactivated his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and the intense starlight around his body dimmed.

Sun Wukong also seemed to lose interest, and the crimson light in her eyes gradually faded until it disappeared.

The tense atmosphere, where death seemed imminent, dissipated completely.

Zhuge Jinghuan appeared quite satisfied with this situation, maintaining his unchanging smile. He nodded to Fang Li and offered a polite greeting.

"I'm very sorry, Fang Li San. It seems our people got a bit carried away."

With those words, Fang Li was informed that Sun Wukong was affiliated with Ranban.

Of course, Fang Li had already suspected this and was not particularly surprised.

Sun Wukong, however, seemed displeased with Zhuge Jinghuan's remarks. Though clearly annoyed, she didn't seem inclined to say anything further. She simply turned away with a scowl and addressed Fang Li.

"Someone came to spoil the fun today, but we'll have another chance. That's something to be grateful for."

"Don't you run away. I'll come looking for you again."

"Fang Li."

After leaving those words, Sun Wukong leaped into the air, landing atop a tree, and within a few jumps, disappeared into the forest.

Fang Li glanced at the direction Sun had left, then turned his attention back to Zhuge Jinghuan.

All he received was Zhuge Jinghuan's unchanged smile.

"Apologies for the poor hospitality. Please, Fang Li San, get in the car."

There were no additional pleasantries or comments about the recent events.

Zhuge Jinghuan seemed intent on glossing over Sun Wukong's attack on Fang Li as if nothing had happened and addressed the other direction.

"Oni's members, if you don't mind, please join us in the car."

Zhuge Jinghuan was referring precisely to Yan, Tsubaki, and Sarah, who had been knocked aside by the aftermath of the battle and had been watching from the sidelines.

Only now did the three of them slowly emerge from the nearby foliage.

However, it was clear that Yan and his group were also not fond of Zhuge Jinghuan.

"No need." Yan said directly, "We will return on our own and do not need to accompany you."

With that, Yan, Tsubaki, and Sarah turned without hesitation and walked back into the forest.

Seeing this scene, it should be clear to everyone, right?

The person Yan's group initially had no affection for was Zhuge Jinghuan.

In other words, this Zhuge Jinghuan from Ranban is someone whose intellect and strength can be compared to Sherlock.

However, that was not surprising.

"It is indeed an honor to meet a descendant of the renowned Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms era, known for his divine strategy," Fang Li said, lifting his gaze to Zhuge Jinghuan with a half-smile.

"I've heard that you, like your ancestor, are skilled in strategy. Was Sun's recent attack on me part of a prearranged test of my abilities by you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jinghuan's smile remained unchanged, and he only responded, "Please, get in the car."

He neither confirmed nor denied, and his smile remained inscrutable, making it impossible to read his thoughts.

One thing, however, was certain.

"Fang Li San, you are someone who can even fight to a standstill with the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and being one of our own, we will not treat you lightly," Zhuge Jinghuan said with unusual sincerity. "So please, accept our invitation and be our honored guest."

This statement was exceptionally genuine, which significantly increased its persuasiveness.

In response, Fang Li shrugged, sheathed his Moonlight Dagger, and walked toward Zhuge Jinghuan.

Once Fang Li got into the car, the engine of the off-road vehicle started again. Under Zhuge Jinghuan's driving, the vehicle headed into the depths of the forest.

...

If Liberty Mason is the largest organization in the world, then Ranban is the largest gang.

In modern terms, it would be called organized crime.

China's population is among the largest in the world.

Within this country, almost all the talent is concentrated in Ranban, which has been divided into several factions.

Zhuge Jinghuan represents the Ranban faction based in Hong Kong, known as the Hong Kong Ranban.

As Ranban maintains close business ties with I-U, many of Ranban's talents have studied at I-U, sharing techniques and legacies with Superhumans from around the world and honing their skills.

Koko is one such individual.

Moreover, Zhuge Jinghuan once tried to compete for talent with I-U's leader, Sherlock, but the attempt ended in a stalemate.

This was mentioned in the intelligence provided by Riko.

As Fang Li recalled this information, he turned his head and looked at Zhuge Jinghuan, who was driving.

Sensing Fang Li's gaze, Zhuge Jinghuan seemed to guess something and responded with a nonchalant smile, "Fang Li San, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Don't be shy."

After all, conversation is a fundamental part of intelligence warfare.

Zhuge Jinghuan must be quite adept at conversation.

One slip and Fang Li might fall into Zhuge Jinghuan's trap.

However, Fang Li did not beat around the bush.

"I'll be straightforward," he said.

"Who exactly is Sun?"
