Upon hearing this, Li Yalin was momentarily taken aback, struggling to process the information that had just been revealed.


    His past career had given him extensive knowledge about Wanlong Pce, including the fact that they had invested a significant amount of resources to establish a permanent base in Syria.


    For a mercenary organization, having a permanent base is a game changer, allowing them to outpace other simr groups by a considerable margin.


    This type of mercenary organization is often more loathed byw enforcement agencies around the globe than gray forces, like Don Albert.


    Typically, mercenary organizations are akin to rats scurrying away in fear, forced to operate in secrecy across various countries. They seldom dare to make their presence known unless they have a deep partnership with the government.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In the United States, while there are many mercenary groups, only a select few coborate closely with the White House, providing support and acting as expendable forces. The majority remain hidden, oftenposed of American veterans who must tread carefully to avoid confrontations with localw enforcement, living as civilians while taking on missions abroad.


    For instance, certain mercenary organizations may have over 100 members, each maintaining their own cover identities and jobs to blend into society. When tasked with a mission, they typically disguise themselves as tourists to leave the country.


    In China, while it is not illegal to engage in mercenary activities, armedbatants must remain highly discreet, making their operations more challenging.


    This necessity for secrecy significantly hinders the growth of many mercenary organizations.


    However, once a mercenary group manages to establish a permanent base openly, everything changes.


    When Wanlong Pce began its coboration with Syria, the CIA took notice, investigating the situation and even considering intervention to prevent Wanlong Pce from expanding too rapidly and disrupting the entire mercenaryndscape.


    Despite CIA concerns, Syria was determined to partner with Wanlong Pce, reportedly due to connections with Hamid, a powerful opposition figure in Syria. It appears that Wanlong Pce had reached a significant agreement with both the Syrian government forces and Hamid.<fnd39e> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find{n}ovel</fnd39e>


    Once this information reached the CIA, they quickly surmised that within the next two to three years, Wanlong Pce would emerge as the most formidable mercenary organization in the world.


    At that moment, when Charlie dered that Wanlong Pce was entirely under his control, it left Li Yalin in a state of shock.


    Suddenly, a realization struck Li Yalin, and he eximed, “Master Wade… I recall a report stating that Wanlong Pce had taken over the Wade family in Eastcliff… Could it be that you orchestrated this as a diversion?”


    “Indeed,” Charlie replied straightforwardly. “Before the real adversary reveals themselves, I intend to conceal my strength and maintain a low profile. If the world learns that Wanlong Pce has capitted to the Wade family, it would undoubtedly cause a stir, and my true identity would be exposed.”


    “I believe it’s wiser to let the world think that the Ye family is now under the control of Wanlong Pce. This way, the attention remains off the Ye family, allowing me to keep my identity hidden a little longer.”


    Li Yalin nodded in agreement, adding, “Given that the individual responsible for your parents’ deaths and the one who recently attempted to harm your grandparents likely belong to the same organization, it’s essential for you to remain calm and conceal your capabilities. After twenty years, they have not given up, and there are likely many secrets surrounding this situation. If they discover you are still alive, they may very well strike.”


    “Exactly,” Charlie said calmly. “I prefer a scenario where I am concealed and the enemy remains in the dark. Therefore, it’s crucial to gather as much intelligence about them as possible while I can.”


    With a serious expression, Li Yalin said, “Young Master Wade, rest assured, I will travel to Syria at the earliest opportunity to seek out the source of this information.”


    Charlie nced at the time and responded, “Alright, those are the two tasks I need you to handle; you may leave now.”


    As Li Yalin prepared to depart, Charlie added, “Oh, and the An family has not left New Yorktely. They’ve been staying at the Anbang Building in Manhattan. I suggest you visit them first, as they are quite concerned about you.”


    “Understood,” Li Yalin replied without hesitation. “I’ll go see them first. Since the public is unaware of my presence at that time, visiting the Anbang Building should raise no suspicions. After all, my uncle and I have been friends for years, and our families have a long-standing friendship with An Jiaye, so it’s only natural for me to pay a visit to Anbang Mansion.”
