Chapter 533: The Dark Order Assassin Organization

Returning to the Blaze base via the flying shuttle, this trip to Desert Rose had been completely fruitless, leaving Wu Yue feeling dejected.

Suddenly, a strange "crackling" electrical noise erupted inside the shuttle, and Wu Yue immediately snapped to attention.

"Warning! Warning! Current flight path signal lost. Please switch to manual operation mode immediately!!"

"Warning! Warning! Shuttle signal lost. Entering shutdown state."

From the moment the electrical noise appeared to the complete loss of signal, it took less than five seconds. Wu Yue immediately pulled out her communicator, only to find it completely jammed.

Instantly calming herself, Wu Yue switched the shuttle to manual operation mode. With lightning-fast reflexes, she managed to activate the intricate manual control system—which required operating over a hundred buttons—in just 30 seconds.

The moment Wu Yue regained control and the shuttle soared through the air, an EM cannon blast exploded right where she had been hovering moments before. The entire shuttle shuddered violently, and alarms blared.

"Warning! Warning! Severe damage to left-wing engine number two!"

With the shuttle's signal completely lost, she couldn't locate the source of the attack or determine the number and firepower of the enemy shuttles.

Wu Yue was now flying blind, isolated in mid-air with no visibility.

The small shuttle she was piloting carried only two missiles. The nearest Desert Rose base was nearly 300 kilometers away—far beyond their range.

Beneath the shuttle stretched an endless desert, barren and desolate, with only scattered mutant beasts roaming about. This was a lawless zone at the intersection of the eastern, western, and northern regions.

Under normal circumstances, the signal here was unstable due to wind and magnetic interference. Combined with targeted signal jamming, it made calling for reinforcements impossible. Clearly, this was the perfect location for an ambush—chosen by assassins who had been plotting meticulously and lying in wait for her.

Just as she had once laid traps to eliminate Vlad, countless enemy shuttles now lurked in the shadows, watching her every move, waiting for her to make a mistake so they could blast her to ashes.

Wu Yue's mind raced:

The current Alliance's cutting-edge EM cannons could reach speeds of 5,000 meters per second—15 times the speed of sound.

The shuttle she was piloting was equipped with state-of-the-art combat and reconnaissance capabilities, with a maximum reconnaissance range of 1,000 kilometers. Yet, before the signal was jammed, no enemy shuttles had entered her reconnaissance field of view.

This meant the trap was set the moment she entered this area and lost signal.

Even the impact point of the EM cannon blast had been precisely calculated.

This was a highly professional assassination team, skilled in operating in extreme weather conditions and undoubtedly adept at lying low and staying hidden.

These operatives existed completely outside the Alliance's radar—ruthless and determined to take her life.

Truth be told, Wu Yue wasn’t hard to kill. She was a squishy commander.

If Chu Cixie had focused solely on eliminating her from the start instead of playing mind games, she might already be dead.

The more cunning the target—like Wu Yue with her a thousand tricks up her sleeve—the more effective a simple, brutal assassination attempt could be.

Wu Yue's heartbeat quickened. The current situation was tricky for her.

The assassins were clearly afraid she had a backup plan, waiting for her to make the first move so they could strike immediately.

She could indeed bide her time, but once the optimal standoff period passed, they would realize she had no tricks left and unleash a barrage of attacks.

For a moment, Wu Yue's expression turned grim.

....

Inside the Dark Order assassin organization's shuttle:

Yali, "Make the move, she's out of options."

Felix, "Wait a little longer."

Felix, leader of the Dark Order assassin organization, the SSS+-rank peak combat specialist.

He had long silver hair, ashen skin, and a handsome appearance reminiscent of a progenitor vampire from hell.

Yali, "What are we waiting for? The client said she’s ruthless and extremely clever. We can’t give her a chance to react!"

Felix, "She’s always been under heavy protection from the Jiang family, the Secretariat, and even the military, surrounded by the Alliance’s top fighters. Why would she suddenly appear here alone?"

Yali, "Don’t overthink it. We’re no match for her mentally—the more we hesitate, the worse it gets!"

Felix narrowed his eyes and looked dangerously at Yali, "You’re in no position to tell me what to do."

Jack, "Felix, I support Yali’s idea. We should kill the target immediately. The client’s payment is enough for us to live large for a while."

"Yeah, boss, I heard this target is incredibly capable. Killing her would really make a name for ourselves!"

"Once we do it, the Alliance will definitely go all out to hunt us down. I love seeing them hate us but unable to do anything about it!"

"But this target is really beautiful. She’s priceless—just blowing her up’s a shame. If we could capture her first and have a chat..."

The shuttle instantly filled with crude, sleazy laughter. Yali turned and delivered a flying kick, "Chat? You think you’re worthy of chatting with her? Do you even know how many people she’s talked to death? Why do you think we’re here to kill her?"

"You pathetic lowlifes, can’t keep your lust in check when you see a pretty woman. If you can’t control your third leg, I’ll break every single one of them."

Jack pressed Felix, "Boss, what are you hesitating for?"

Felix’s gaze fell on the satellite feed in the shuttle’s cockpit, showing Wu Yue’s current expression inside her shuttle. From the moment the signal was jammed, every one of Wu Yue’s reactions had been textbook-perfect.

The moment she detected the signal loss, she immediately activated the shuttle’s manual controls. The controls, complex as cryptic runes, flowed effortlessly under Wu Yue’s fingers as if she were playing a melody, allowing her to nimbly evade their first test-fired EM cannon.

Even after realizing she was ambushed, she kept steadily on her original course, her expression calm and composed. Only her slightly furrowed brow hinted that she wasn’t as calm as she seemed.

Seeing Felix’s interest in Wu Yue,

Yali grew impatient, "Felix, just kill her. Don’t even think about tangling with her."

Felix’s eyes gradually filled with rage. Just as Yali was about to speak again, he backhanded her across the face.

Yali was struck dizzy, her ears ringing, and blood sprayed from her mouth as she fell to the ground.

Clutching her reddened cheek, Yali retreated to the side, too terrified to utter another word.

Seeing Felix’s dark expression, Jack also didn’t dare say more.

Felix quietly studied Wu Yue. A woman who could kill by manipulating minds, possessed top-tier shuttle piloting skills, had just saved the entire Alliance by defeating an ancient master strategist, and was hailed as the Alliance’s celebrated commander—their so-called "Savior"—with divine power to grant abilities.

Killing her just like that felt like a true waste.

But if he didn’t kill her, Felix doubted she deserved these external myths.

The entire Dark Order shuttle fell into silence, no one daring to speak.

A crazed, twisted grin suddenly curled on Felix’s lips. With bloodshot eyes, he slammed his palm on the missile launch controls.

Let’s see what this woman is truly capable of!!

If Wu Yue could survive this barrage of missiles, he would certainly give her the royal treatment.

Fit for a Savior—

worthy of his awe.
