Thirteen years ago, in a noisy trading market, some people were seen bargaining, others were seen peddling. However, they were not selling animals or goods. They were selling living humans.

This market was Astreza's largest and most crowded black market for human trafficking. It was equivalent to the triangular trade of the sixteenth century. Perhaps it was even greater than the triangular trade in terms of prosperity.

In the middle of it was a little girl who was about nine years old. Her body was curled up in a fetal position. Her eyes were full of fear.

She was one of the many children who had been trafficked.

Many children sat next to her. They were either older than her, of the same age, or younger than her.

Suddenly, a sturdy man who looked to be in his middle ages came in and drove all of them out. The little girl's hands were bound in rope, and her legs were chained. 

The middle-aged man brought the group of children to a group of men in black suits. They heard the man say to their leader respectfully, "Boss, this is the latest batch of goods. There are a few beautiful chicks too. After raising them for a few years, they can help you earn money even if they can't work for you."

The man referred to as the boss did not say anything. He simply nodded and left.

The little girl quickly realized that he was the one who had bought this group of children. She also knew that it was the beginning of her nightmares.

Twelve years ago, this group of children had lived in a big house for a year after that man bought them.

Every day, they only needed to play and eat. The only thing they could not do was leave the house. Compared to the time they were trafficked, they lived relatively well.

One day, the boss suddenly showed up.

A year had passed, but his appearance had not changed much. Yet to him, this group of children had changed a lot.

"Children!" His voice was hoarse and deep. "You guys have lived here for a year. Now, I'll give you two options. The first option is to continue staying here. The other option is to leave here and start a new life in another place."

Right after he finished speaking, the group of children began to discuss among themselves in noisy chatters.

The relaxation and fun they had for a year made them forget that they were just goods!

"How is this new place?"

"What kind of fun things does the place have?"

"Will it be more fun over there?"

The man said, "It could be fun, but it could also not be fun. The future is unknown, so you guys have to decide that on your own!"

"All right, choose now. Those who choose to leave can come with me, and those who choose to stay can stay where you are!" another man beside the man said.

Many children hesitated, but many children chose to stay as well.

Only twenty-three children chose to leave.

"Very well!" The man smiled abruptly. He clapped his hands. Suddenly, a lot of men stormed in. 

That group of men killed all the boys who chose to stay. Plain-looking girls were not spared either. The beautiful girls were raped on the spot by those men.

Among the twenty-three children who chose to leave, twenty of them were shocked, and the remaining three children seemed to be relieved.

The three of them exchanged glances, all of them happy and relieved. One of them turned out to be the little girl from a year ago.

By then, she had lost the fear and innocence she once had. Such scenes no longer fazed her.

Not long after, code names were assigned to them. The three children were No. 7, No. 27, and No. 57.

Ten years ago, that man had placed short blades in the hands of twelve children. 

Within two years, many of them had died or were eliminated one after another. In the end, only twelve of them were left.

"Children, now is the time to test your strength. Go and conquer the whole plains to earn a chance to work for me!"

They were no longer perplexed in the face of such a large plain.

Some of them split off to work on their own, while others formed teams.

The three of them stood back-to-back as they faced two large white tigers for the first time. The short, silver-white blades gleamed in the moonlight.

"Friends, let's fight together!"

"Watch my back, comrades!"

"Don't worry, comrades. I will never leave you guys behind!"

On that blood-stained night, they used their blood to swear an eternal vow.

Before long, they survived and dominated the Amazon Plain. Since then, they successfully joined the ranks of the Dark Mercenary Organization. They were called Zhan Yunxuan, Yun Jingcang, and Xuan Jiawen.

Three years ago, three people appeared and dominated the top of the underworld in just a short period of time.

Rumors said that they were decisive, vicious, and never left any loose ends. However, they had three principles. They only killed criminals, people who could not be sanctioned by the law, and insatiable government officials.

Despite such seemingly unreasonable principles, many still wanted to hire them because they were decisive, vicious, and never did things sloppily!

However, the biggest reason was due to their one hundred percent mission completion rate!

Although this achievement might not be unparalleled, it was unprecedented!

They were the ultimate mercenaries who deserved the titles the mercenary world had given them!

They were also the top mercenaries who formed the only mercenary team in the world with absolutely zero mission failures!

In just half a year, they quickly became famous in the underworld and the law enforcement circle. They became the Dark Mercenary Organization that everyone feared.

In just a year, they had leapt to the top of the mercenary organization and became the famous Dark Mercenary Overlords.

In addition to the title of Dark Mercenary Overlords, ordinary people called them underground judges.

Mercenaries and hitmen had always been on bad terms. This was something every expert in the industry knew.

They were all people who worked in the dark for money and benefits. In a sense, they were no different from super agents. The only difference was that super agents were hired by the state, and everything they did could only be controlled by the state. On the other hand, mercenaries and hitmen were self-employed, so they could freely choose their employers.
