Four-layered glass windows blocked the scorching heat outside, while the room was filled with the coolness of air conditioning. Outside the window, Hong Kong, this subtropical metropolis, appeared as a city of concrete, steel, and glass. It was already the 15th of September, yet not a trace of autumn could be felt. The fierce and terrifying summer continued to rage in southern mainland China. This was a spacious suite located on the 40th floor of a building, with a mix of Western and Chinese furnishings. A Qing Dynasty Qianlong-era screen inlaid with mica stood in the room. In front of the screen was a Swedish-made armchair. An elegant middle-aged gentleman of Anglo-Saxon descent was crossing his slender legs. He was Walter St. Thomson, the Far East director of the "Four Sisters" consortium. Five steps away, a man in a polo shirt stood, with a face personified as a gray dog. This man's name was Edgar Meishu, the South Asia director of the Four Sisters' Far East headquarters. His work involved assassination and various destructive activities—abductions, coercion, terrorist explosions, illegal coups, intelligence operations, secret weapon transport, and other thoroughly dirty businesses. To date, he had overthrown four cabinets in Southeast Asian countries, directly sending dozens of people and indirectly more than 10,000 people to heaven or hell. Currently, he was indeed under Thomson's command, but according to the Four Sisters' private dictionary, a subordinate was someone who "seizes the opportunity to knock their boss off their throne." Meishu was the same age as Thomson and viewed him as a completely "despicable, hateful lucky bastard." In this sweltering subtropical city, simply wearing a Sebring shirt and a tie made Meishu feel very constrained, let alone the lack of the power to exercise unlimited freedom of speech. "The Dragon Brothers have infiltrated mainland China from Bangkok via Hong Kong. According to reports, they have reached Xi'an. Mr. Thomson." Meishu suppressed his inner displeasure and reported to Thomson with outward respect. "There are several secret routes to enter China. Ancient China was indeed a paradise for secret societies and underground organizations." "Aside from Japan, I know everything about China!" With a slightly challenging expression, Meishu spoke, but Thomson paid him no mind. "Unfortunately, Landsdale failed to discipline them properly. You must take over this task." "Patricia Landsdale, such a glamorous L-lady! She's such a sensual woman! I really wish I could sleep with her while she's alive!" It was unclear whether Meishu's joke was vulgar or wild. Thomson replied even colderly, "Just because she's a woman with extremely peculiar tastes, let's not talk about her. How is the situation on Kunlun?" Meishu shrugged slightly with his broad shoulders. He had been standing facing the console the whole time. After his thick fingers danced gracefully over the keyboard for a while, a 60-inch screened on the wall.
