Leitao left the secret camp and walked carefully through the forest, confirming that he was not being followed, until he reached an unpopulated area surrounded by trees and overgrown with weeds. He took out the Bagua spinning top and activated the system. A flash of light swept by, and he returned to the modern-day safe house in Central Africa.
The house contained only a simple bed and some worn-out furniture. Not wanting to linger, Leitao tidied his clothes, headed out, and climbed into an off-road vehicle covered in mud and scratches. He started the engine and drove toward the mercenary base. His heart was heavy on the road, knowing that the Cherry Blossom Mercenary Group would certainly return and that the power behind the mysterious arms buyer remained unclear.
When he reached the base, the guard at the gate rushed up anxiously: "Brother Leitao, you've finally returned! There have been unidentified people lurking near the base for the past few days. Even though we’ve increased security, we still don't feel at ease."
