"It's been a long time." Bai Liu smiled and greeted, walking step by step towards Mo Yao with a faint smile on his face as if he were meeting someone he had waited for patiently. Many scenes flashed through his mind.

The experiences between him and Mo Yao weren't numerous, but to him, they left an extremely deep impression.

"Indeed, it has been long," said Mo Yao indifferently; although he was still wearing hospital clothes, he didn’t hide his domineering aura. Mo Baixiao, watching from afar, felt uneasy and wondered what Bai Liu's smile meant. He also felt a bit pleased with himself as his leader was simply too good-looking—be it in hospital clothes or regular wear. When it came to looks, their leader had never lost.

Bai Liu looked at Mo Yao and said with a slight smile, "I heard that you encountered something and only returned after a year. I originally planned on visiting you but have been very busy."

"It's fine; everything’s taken care of," replied Mo Yao indifferently. "What do you need from me"

He preferred a straightforward approach, especially when dealing with someone like Bai Liu, as being indirect would cause him to lose control of the situation. Bai Liu slightly lowered his eyelids; his long and curled lashes cast a thin shadow over his face, making him appear somewhat forlorn.

"Can't I just come to see you"

Speaking in such a forlorn tone, Mo Yue remained unmoved. He was no fool. With a deep voice, Mo Yue said, "Anti-terrorist forces and the First Terrorist Organization are clashing, plunging North America into terrorist crisis. As captain of an esteemed anti-terror squad, you didn’t bring your people to eliminate the terrorists but flew all the way to Rome to see me instead. I don't think I have that much influence to make you come at a time like this."

Bai Liu quietly looked at Mo Yue and suddenly turned his gaze, spotting several covert sentries and surveillance points; there were at least seven sniper positions from high vantage points. This hospital was brimming with hidden dangers.

No one could make any move in the hospital, let alone in such a completely exposed situation as theirs.

"Mo Yue, you’ve become so sharp towards me." It seemed Bai Liu wanted to explain something but ended up saying only this: "You know I never hurt you."

"I know," said Mo Yao. "That's why you're still standing safely in front of me; otherwise, Xiaobai would have already wanted to fight with you. I think you wouldn't be able to beat him."

Baio had how much skill He knew, as he had sparred with him before.

Mosai and Baio were not on the same level; half a Baio was still Mosai's match.

Baio glanced at Mo Xiaobai who stood不遠處，那人一直虎視眈眈地站在對麵。對於墨小白而言，他的外表再單純無害，他也是豺狼虎豹，不懷好意。

"I'm very sorry about your family matter this time," Baio said.

"What role did you play in it"

"I'm from the Action Team. Do you know what role I play in all of this" Bai Liu retorted. Mo Yao didn't want to ask anymore; everything was clear. Bai Liu had participated in the operation, but whether he was a commander wasn't certain.

Mo Yao's expression turned stern. Knowing that Mo Yao was displeased, Bai Liu said calmly, "Mo Yao, you know that my purpose for coming here isn't simple. I don't want to hide anything from you. While the First Terrorist Organization is growing stronger by the day, counter-terrorism groups are secretly nurturing organizations capable of countering them. M2 wasn't the only one. Yes, you destroyed M2, and I admit it was a significant blow for anti-terrorists. They underestimated your capabilities which led to M2's total defeat this time around. You weakened us by half but not enough to stop all our support networks. The United States is a military powerhouse; the First Terrorist Organization poses too great of a threat to us, prompting early preparations for retaliation that have been secretly made over decades since the First Terrorist Organization came into power. How much manpower and resources we've amassed behind the scenes, I don't even know myself. If it comes down to a battle, there's no guarantee we'll lose. In the past, the First Terrorist Organization was rampant because we didn't have strategies for countering them when they first emerged. Now that the organization has been around for decades and we've had decades of preparation, it's impossible for them to act as freely as before. You may have advanced technology and weaponry, but war is unimaginable once started. I assure you, neither side will emerge victorious; this point is clear to both parties. The United States' weapons aren't just decorative; everyone has flesh and blood rather than being machines. In a real fight, do you think we'd be defeated I admit that the agents trained by the First Terrorist Organization and the Mafia are formidable in one-on-one combat, but today's wars don't operate on a man-to-man basis. Who knows how many people support us behind the scenes No matter how large or powerful the First Terrorist Organization is, they can never match up to an entire country, especially not the world's leading military power. Mo Yao, picking a fight with M2 was enough; I hope all this will come to a halt."

Mo Yao chuckled coldly and clenched his fists tightly. In front of such a mocking smile, Bai Liu remained unflustered, even if he felt slightly guilty inside. He looked Mo Yao in the eye bravely.

"If M2 hadn't provoked war, we would have coexisted peacefully without interfering with each other's affairs," Mo Yao said. "The First Terrorist Organization and Mafia never initiated wars like this out of nowhere; it was you who started it first. It was you who destroyed our families and troops. Now that you want to negotiate peace, Bai Liu, go back and tell your superiors: impossible! Once war breaks out, there's no way for negotiations."

"Mo Yao, stubbornness won't solve anything," Bai Liu sternly countered. "You know if this continues, neither side will benefit. Can you really wipe out the entire United States"

If both sides remained inflexible, nothing would be resolved.erts.Donuts, bread, cakes, chocolate—she loved all these and there were plenty at home. She had even stuffed him with a lot of chocolates last time, saying that eating one late night while working on...
